Chapter 1575: Leave Zhou Daoxian Behind

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Daoxian quickly dispersed his Ethereal Force and warned the other leaders. “Don’t do anything rash! Let’s just calm down and talk! We don’t want to make any mistakes!” before turning to Chen Xiaobei and said, “Faction Leader Chen, this is a self-contained area, and it’s not very big. If you detonate the warhead, you and your people won’t be able to survive this either!”

He was clearly alarmed. The other leaders did not protest either and dispersed their Ethereal Forces obediently.

These men were all at the top tier of earth’s Jianghu pyramid!

They were at the top of their respective food chains, possessed great authority, and had high cultivation – all these were the result of a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears! If they died now, then all of it would amounted to nothing!

A Chinese proverb once said: the barefoot do not fear those who wear shoes.

This was because the people who ‘wore shoes’, would be reluctant to lose everything they have! These are the people who valued life the most, had the most to lose, making them those who feared death the most!

“I don’t want to detonate the nuclear warhead either but you’ve given me no choice!” Chen Xiaobei answered. “But I figured that since I would have to die today, I might as well drag you down with me. What is so wrong about that?”

“That was then, but this is now! Since you are calling the shots now, we wouldn’t dare force your hand! It’s always good to sit down and talk! Let’s talk it out!” Zhou Daoxian said amiably.

“Wait!” Feng Aotian shouted. “That’s a nuclear weapon not an egg! How could Chen Xiaobei just take it out whenever he fancies?!”

Chen Xiaobei answered, “It was the day before the date of this exploration of Emperor Qin’s tomb was confirmed, that the America’s nuclear arsenal in the depths of the Pacific Ocean was cleaned out! With all the eyes and ears available to you, you would’ve at least heard about it, right?”

“Tha… That’s our country’s top secret! How did you know about that?” Sequinn gasped.

“Because,” Chen Xiaobei smirked. “I was the one who robbed the arsenal! In my possession now are 200 nuclear bombs. If you don’t believe me, I can take them all out for you to see! We’re all going to die anyway, so we might as well go big!”

“No! No! No! Faction leader Chen, please don’t do anything rash!” Zhou Daoxian quickly tried to pacify the situation. “We believe you! We believe that the nuclear bomb in your hand is real! Just tell us what you want! We’ll agree to anything!”

“Alright! It looks like you are quite a smart man! So, I’ll tell you!” Chen Xiaobei said. “You don’t want to die, and neither do I! All you have to do is keep your hands away from my friends and I and I won’t detonate the bomb! But if you even think about doing anything stupid, I won’t mind burning both jade and stone (a Chinese proverb meaning destroying the good together with the bad)!”

“Good talk! Good talk!” Zhou Daoxian adulated. “Then, please put away the warhead, faction leader Chen! It’s not safe to keep it out like that. We don’t want any accidental detonation, right?”

“Hmph! Don’t think I’m stupid!” Chen Xiaobei said frostily. “If I put it away, you’ll use the Force of Nature to kill me!”

“No, we won’t! We won’t!” Zhou Daoxian shook his head.

“You won’t? Only a fool will believe that!” Chen Xiaobei said, his voice firm and unyielding, “If you want me to put my nuclear bomb away, you will have to agree to two of my terms! First, every one of you withdraw 10 miles behind! Second, leave Zhou Daoxian!”

“I…” Zhou Daoxian stared at Chen Xiaobei. “Faction Leader Chen, what is your intention?”

“Enough nonsense! Do as I say immediately or do not expect me put the nuclear warhead away!” Chen Xiaobei barked.

“You arrogant son of a bitch! I will fight tooth and nail with you!” Feng Aotian thundered.

“Come on then!”

Chen Xiaobei still had the confidence to go against them. With Ethereal Force being channelled to his hand, he pressed on the nuclear warhead – readied to trigger it.

“Alliance Leader Feng! Please don’t act impulsively!” The other leaders quickly stopped Feng Aotian.

Zhou Daoxian spoke, “Do as faction leader had instructed! All of you retreat now and leave me behind!”

“How could we…” The elders of Kunlun faction began to panic.

Zhou Daoxian was the backbone of Kunlun faction! If anything happened to him, China’s number one faction, Kunlun would cease to exist!

“Retreat now!” Zhou Daoxian ordered in a dominant manner.

He was not merely telling the elders of his faction to retreat, but he was also showing Chen Xiaobei that he was universally recognized as Earth Jianghu’s most powerful elite, and that he was not afraid to be left behind!

When they saw how insistent Zhou Daoxian was, the people of Kunlun and the people of the other forces backed away, and disappeared from Chen Xiaobei’s line of sight.

“Faction Leader Chen, why have you asked me to stay? Please be straightforward with me!” Zhou Daoxian asked.

“Don’t worry, faction Leader Zhou!” Chen Xiaobei took out his Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd and released Li Xiang and Six-Eared Macaque.

The people around him were all stunned.

They had never seen or heard of such magical Spiritual Instruments like the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd before!

“Li Xiang, can you fly? Go keep an eye out on our enemy and see how far they’ve gone!” Chen Xiaobei said.

“No problem! Your medical skills and Spiritual Medicine are the best in the world! I can move about freely now!” Li Xiang spread his wings and flew into the air to scout their enemy.

“Faction leader Chen really does think things through!” Zhou Daoxian smiled. “But you don’t need to worry, faction leader Chen. If I ask them to retreat, you can be assured that they won’t try anything stupid!”

“We can never be too careful!” Chen Xiaobei replied. “Faction leader Zhou, you just need to stay for another half a minute then you can go!”

“Huh?” Zhou Daoxian’s brows raised. “What are you going to do to me?”

Chen Xiaobei did not answer him. “Six-Eared, how many Spiritual Stones would it take to become this old man?”

Six-Eared Macaque was immediately invigorated. “This old man’s combat power is 650,000! That means we’ll need 650,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!”

“Alright! I’ll give you 650,000!” Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and Spiritual Stones came pouring out of his Infinite Space Ring like a waterfall.

Those who were present stared in disbelief.

“My… god… How is it that you have so many Spiritual Stones?” Zhou Daoxian gasped.

Even the tepid Long Zishan widened her eyes. “That’s a lot of Spiritual Stones! Even if the few top-tier ancient factions combined their Spiritual Stones, it would not even amount to this much!”

Liu Xuanxin and her four Shijies even began to question their lives.

A top-tier ancient faction at most, would have 100 to 200 thousand low-grade Spiritual Stones.

But Chen Xiaobei just gave out 650,000 like it was chump change. An amount like that was enough to shock the heavens and startle hell!

Chen Xiaobei laughed, “This is a lot? You guys should really see your faces right now!”
