Another disciple of the Yanhuo Sect, Luo Bin, couldn't hold back and cursed, "What kind of dogshit is this? We never agreed to come, so why should our people be the ones to lure away that Shagui?"
Tai Rui's face darkened. "Hey, don't talk so rudely. Everyone gets a share of the gold, or do you not want it?"
"Why shouldn't we? If it weren't for our Senior Brother Zhou's help along the way, you all would have died countless times by now. This gold must have a share for our Senior Brother Zhou!"
The more Luo Bin spoke, the angrier he became, wishing he could just eliminate Tai Rui on the spot.
Tai Rui chuckled and said, "If you want it, then you must send someone to lure away the Shagui."
As soon as Tai Rui said this, the atmosphere became tense and confrontational. The disciples of the Zhengdao Sect nearby also eyed the Yanhuo Sect disciples menacingly.
Zhou Fu's expression was blank, his eyes narrowed. He drew the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword from his waist and shot it out.
*Whoosh—*
The Soul Suppressing Stone short sword grazed Tai Rui's cheek and pierced into the wall behind him.
This sudden attack came without any warning. By the time everyone reacted, Tai Rui's cheek was already bleeding.
Tai Rui, startled, swallowed hard. Blood dripped down his cheek onto the ground, but he was oblivious.
Zhou Fu's face turned extremely cold, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. He stared at Tai Rui and said coldly, "Scum, if you dare ask my junior brother to lure away that Shagui again, I'll make sure your head splits open!"
The people around them dared not even breathe heavily, looking at Zhou Fu's murderous gaze.
Even the disciples of the Yanhuo Sect were slightly intimidated.
They knew their Senior Brother Zhou had a bad temper before, but they had never seen him this angry.
However, their hearts were filled with emotion.
Tai Rui looked at the grim-faced Zhou Fu, his legs trembling involuntarily.
A nearby disciple pushed him.
Only then did he snap out of his fear. Looking at Zhou Fu, his speech became a bit stuttered.
"What do you mean by this? The sects have regulations against internal strife among disciples. Are you going to kill me?"
A sinister smile appeared on Zhou Fu's face. "It's the fourth day now. The people in the camp must think we've met with misfortune. I don't mind killing you all. No one will know anyway. When we get back, we'll just say you all perished."
Everyone could feel that Zhou Fu was not joking at all.
He was truly capable of doing it!
A smile appeared on Tai Rui's face as he began to fawn over Zhou Fu. "Brother, we can discuss things, can't we?"
Along the way, they had encountered danger many times, but it was Zhou Fu who had helped them resolve it.
Moreover, he knew the "Fire Separation Slash" from the Five Elements Arts of Master Yu of Jiangdu.
Its power was unimaginably strong!
Even if all of them combined, they might not be able to defeat him.
Seeing Tai Rui's fawning demeanor, Zhou Fu felt contempt.
This was exactly as the sect leader had said.
As long as you are strong enough, no one dares to point fingers at you.
Zhou Fu continued, looking at Tai Rui, "My junior brothers have a share of this gold. You can't touch a single bit of what belongs to them, understand!"
"I understand, I understand!" Tai Rui quickly nodded, pushing the gold along with the backpack over.
The four disciples of the Yanhuo Sect looked at Zhou Fu, as if asking if he wanted them to go and collect it.
Zhou Fu nodded and looked at the youngest disciple. "Carry the gold."
The youngest disciple's face lit up with a smile. He went over, slung the backpack containing the gold onto his back, and walked back.
Seeing that the gold was secured, Zhou Fu turned to the disciples of the other two sects. "Either we go back now and divide the gold, or you go lure away the Shagui yourselves and divide the gold you get. Choose!"
Everyone exchanged glances and chose the former.
The gold in the bag was enough for them to share, and there was no need to risk getting more.
Although Tai Rui was full of resentment, he could only agree.
It was impossible to get the other gold in the current situation.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Zhou Fu stood up to retrieve the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword stuck in the wall.
As he walked past Tai Rui, he said coldly, "I advise you not to have any wicked ideas, or I'll make you regret entering this encirclement."
Tai Rui nodded repeatedly. "Understood, understood."
Zhou Fu put away the Soul Suppressing Stone short sword and looked at everyone. "Since everyone agrees, let's leave here first."
The youngest disciple of the Yanhuo Sect, seeing that they were returning, immediately went to open the door.
Everyone also stood up and left together.
Zhou Fu followed them out of the room.
"Senior Brother, are we really going back just like this?" a disciple of the Zouyin Sect asked.
"How could that be!" a killing intent flashed in Tai Rui's eyes.
The group walked past the clothing shops, intending to bypass the gold shop and leave the mall directly.
Along the way, Tai Rui, walking at the very back, bit his finger when no one was paying attention and dripped blood onto the ground.
A disciple nearby looked on in fear and was about to speak when Tai Rui stopped him with a look.
The disciple could only whisper, "Senior Brother, you're trying to get us killed! This blood will attract evil spirits."
Tai Rui gave him an annoyed glare and lowered his voice. "Nonsense, do you think I don't know that? This is the outcome I want. Go and warn the other disciples and the disciples of the Zhengdao Sect. If anything happens, run for your lives and don't care about the deaths of the Yanhuo Sect people."
Luo Bin, who was leading at the front, saw the two behind him muttering something and looked at Zhou Fu. "Senior Brother Zhou, I think those two sects are whispering about something. It doesn't seem like they're plotting anything good."
Zhou Fu naturally noticed their subtle movements and said, "Tell our junior brothers to be vigilant. If anything happens, push that Tai Rui out to take the blame."
Luo Bin nodded and was about to remind the other junior brothers when he heard a hungry, cackling laugh from behind them.
"Finally found you all~"
Everyone turned to look and saw a Shagui, dressed in red, floating three feet off the ground, its hair covering its entire face, drifting towards them.
The disciples of the Zhengdao Sect, seeing it was the Shagui, were terrified and fled. "It's the Shagui, run!"
As he ran, the other disciples also bolted.
Tai Rui's face also turned slightly grim.
He hadn't expected that the one they had lured was the Shagui.
Zhou Fu, seeing this, cursed inwardly and looked at his junior brothers. "What are you standing around for? Run!"
Tai Rui ran to the youngest disciple of the Yanhuo Sect and reached out to snatch the backpack from his back.
Seeing this, the disciple dodged and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tai Rui, seeing the approaching Shagui, knew it was impossible to snatch the gold again. A chill ran through him.
He decided to go all the way!
He grabbed the disciple and threw him directly at the Shagui.
Zhou Fu, running ahead, saw this and cursed loudly, "Scum, I should never have spared you!"
