Chapter 719 Accusation
What does Chu Lee mean by that?
What does he mean, 'he is still alive'? It seems that Chu Lee thinks his own death is certain!
Ao Firestone's face turned ugly, as anyone would feel unpleasant being thought of in such a way.
Not to mention, he suddenly realized that Chu Lee, despite everything, possessed strength comparable to a third-level Super Warrior, and their Firestone Family had taken action on his behalf, yet what was the result?
In their most dangerous moment, this Chu Lee actually ran away first instead of lending them a hand!
By comparison, that Lin Yun, although he is currently the enemy he hates the most, Ao Firestone could not deny that Lin Yun's courage and all other aspects were far beyond what Chu Lee could compare to!
In the beginning, Lin Yun's strength was not stronger than Chu Lee's. If Chu Lee had taken action to help them at that time, they might not have lost!
"Sorry, Ao Brother, that's not what I meant..." On the other side, as soon as Chu Lee finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained.
"Hmph!" Ao Firestone snorted coldly, without saying a word.
On the other side, Yun Firestone carefully observed Chu Lee and also remained silent. Though Chu Lee's behavior seemed like fleeing in fear of being pursued by Lin Yun and his party, Yun Firestone was not sure whether this was another conspiracy by the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Do they think I won't go and they can play another trick?
However, separated by the communication device, and with Chu Lee accelerating through space, Yun Firestone couldn't sense anything, and Chu Lee's reactions really seemed like he was fleeing for his life.
"Master Lee, you don't have to be so anxious. Lin Yun has already resumed the competition and is not pursuing you," Yun Firestone slowly spoke after a moment.
"What? Lin Yun has already resumed the competition and hasn't come after me? Are you serious?" Chu Lee said with a face full of surprise.
As he spoke, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart; this was truly excellent news.
"Indeed," Yun Firestone responded indifferently.
Whew!
On the other end of the communication device, Chu Lee immediately halted his movement.
"Meteor Saint, speaking of which, I have to say how could your Firestone Family handle this matter so poorly? Two fourth-level Super Warriors took action, yet you failed to capture that Lin Yun, and nearly perished?" Chu Lee scoffed coldly and spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Master Lee, you asked us to deal with that Lin Yun, but you never told us he had two such powerful allies.
This time, the loss to the Firestone Family is enormous: a top-tier spy has perished, two family heirlooms lost, a fourth-level top-tier Super Warrior has fallen, and another fourth-level top-tier warrior is gravely injured," Seeing Chu Lee take the initiative to accuse them, Yun Firestone couldn't help but laugh out of irritation as he spoke.
"Since the Firestone Family took on this task, you should have considered all possible contingencies. Don't tell me that your Firestone Family was unaware that Lin Yun had the support of a fourth-level Super Golden Beast and that Modan was also very caring towards Lin Yun!" Chu Lee said coldly.
Yun Firestone fell silent.
When he accepted Chu Lee's task, he indeed looked into news about Lin Yun; he was aware of all that Chu Lee had mentioned.
However, he had not anticipated Lin Yun's formidable capacity for resistance, nor had he expected that in a critical moment, the Super Golden Beast would arrive, and Modan would firmly stand against the Firestone Family.
Therefore, one could also attribute this to the Firestone Family's oversight. If they had known earlier and deployed the corresponding measures, the outcome might be completely different now.
"Do you really think that the Sacred Sound Stone from our Immortal Origin Holy Land that easy to acquire? Now that your Firestone Family has failed to complete the task and instead turns to blame me, it's truly laughable!" Just then, Chu Lee let out a cold laugh and continued speaking.
Upon hearing Chu Lee's words, a touch of indignation flashed in Yun Firestone's eyes.
This Chu Lee, a Cultivator at the second level of the Super realm, actually dared to speak to him, a Saintly Warrior, like this. Did he really think he, a Saintly Warrior, was a pushover?
However, the next moment, Yun Firestone had an alarm go off in his heart.
Could it be that this Chu Lee was deliberately provoking him, trying to get him to make a move against him?
If that were the case... he must not be fooled...
In their family clan, although the fall of a top Warrior at the fourth level of the Super realm was no small matter, as long as he was around, their family clan wouldn't collapse. But if he fell, the Firestone Family would be doomed.
The power that annihilated him could easily wipe out the Firestone Family.
"If you, Meteor Saint, personally took action, then Lin Yun would definitely be dead, and that Modan and the Super Golden Beast would not be capable of causing any major trouble. Your Firestone Family would not suffer such a great loss either," paused Chu Lee, before speaking again.
During the conversation, Chu Lee was also very annoyed, believing that the Firestone Family had agreed to the trade but not put forth their best efforts, needlessly exposing him. Now, he was certain, many high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land could guess that he might have had someone take action against Lin Yun.
This time, after returning, he needed to think carefully how to explain this matter to those people.
"Right, Meteor Saint, have Ao Brother and Wei Brother exposed me?" Thinking of this, Chu Lee also looked towards Meteor Saint and asked again.
"No," Yun Firestone said with a dark face.
This Chu Lee was truly selfish. If Chu Lee was not sent by the Immortal Origin Holy Land to lure him, then this person's character was indeed lacking. How wise and martial were the strong cultivators from the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago?
Just a few thousand years have passed, and such a person has emerged!
With this thought, confusion also arose in his heart.
Could it be that Chu Lee was not really sent by the Immortal Origin Holy Land to lure him?
"As for me taking personal action, it's impossible. Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? If there are other Saintly Warriors from the Immortal Origin Holy Land who could take action, wouldn't I be the one to suffer?" Following that, Yun Firestone shook his head.
"I can swear that although the Immortal Origin Holy Land has Saintly Warriors, they really cannot take action lightly," Chu Lee insisted.
"Not being able to act easily does not mean they cannot act at all, and besides, the highest secrets of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, even you might not know all of them, right? Who knows if there are still hidden Saintly Warriors! You're only a few hundred years old; you can't possibly know what the Immortal Origin Holy Land was like thousands of years ago!" Yun Firestone shook his head again.
"This..." Chu Lee's face turned ugly.
The Immortal Origin Holy Land was renowned among the cosmic high-level forces, and he knew these people were wary of the Immortal Origin Holy Land from thousands of years ago. His age was only a few hundred years, having not seen the Immortal Origin Holy Land from that time, which made him an easy target for doubt.
However, listening to Yun Firestone's words, his heart also skipped a beat.
He knew that the majority of forces held a trump card, the highest level of which was known only to the top echelon. This was one of the means by which a force could continue to exist. Although his status in the Immortal Origin Holy Land was high, he wasn't at the very top. Hearing Yun Firestone's words, he couldn't help but start to doubt.
Could it be that their Immortal Origin Holy Land indeed had hidden Saintly Warriors?
If that were the case, his collusion with outsiders and schemes against Lin Yun—if they came to light, how would that or those Saintly Warriors view him?
"No! It can't be! It can't be!"
Quickly, Chu Lee shook his head vehemently.
He was very familiar with the Immortal Origin Holy Land and was quite sure that there were no Saintly Warriors beyond his knowledge... there couldn't be... otherwise, his entire calculation could take a dire turn for the worse.
