Chapter 778: Let That Idiot Die
"Hao Tian, one must learn to understand reality," Tang Rao patted Hao Tian on the shoulder with his right hand. "The reality now is that Ah Quan and the others have left you behind. Do you know why they dared to do this? It's because your master instructed them to do so. If it wasn't for your master's words, based on your identity as a disciple of the Sect Master, do you think Ah Quan and the others would disregard your life and death? No, unless they have a death wish."
Tang Rao spoke earnestly, and of course, these words were not wrong at all, as that was the fact.
Jokingly, if Wan Yuan did not hold deep resentment towards his foolish disciple Hao Tian, how could he possibly let him lead a few unreliable vanguards to test his own strength?
Letting you take the lead clearly means, whether you live or die is none of my concern, die if you like.
"That's impossible, you're lying! My master wouldn't do that. Tang Rao, stop deceiving me, I won't believe you!" Hao Tian shouted loudly.
However, although he said this, the determination in Hao Tian's eyes had already wavered.
From his eyes, Tang Rao saw hesitation, saw a belief on the brink of death.
"Whether you believe me or not, the fact is right there. Moreover, think about it, do I have any reason to lie to you? Lying to you would bring me no benefits," Tang Rao said with a smile.
"You're lying! You are deceiving me! How could my master not care about me? How could he possibly disregard my life?" Hao Tian screamed heart-wrenchingly.
"Come, let's watch a live broadcast," Tang Rao took out a tablet from his portable palace, which displayed a clear image of everything about Ah Quan and the others.
The slap that Xiao Yun had given each person was not something simple; when hitting each person's chest, he injected a small surveillance device.
At this moment, these images were being provided by these surveillance devices.
Not only were there images, but there were also sounds.
The conversations of Ah Quan and the others were crystal clear.
Not to mention Hao Tian, even Xiao Yun and Cha Xiangzi were staring wide-eyed; this device seemed magical, so cool that it could monitor everything about someone in real time.
Moreover, it was clear that Ah Quan and the others had no idea at all, which was quite incredible.
In fact, Tang Rao himself also found this device shockingly amazing; it was created by Yan Wei, not only was it microscopic and invisible but it could also evade the detection of experts.
If it were a normal surveillance device implanted inside the body, it would be detected with just one check, but this device was different; it was like growing inside your body, completely undetectable.
Ah Quan and the others moved very quickly; they had already returned to the Qinghe Sect and were standing in the Sect Master's hall.
Wan Yuan, on the other hand, was sitting, showing no emotion.
"They've returned so soon?" Wan Yuan glanced at Ah Quan.
"Yes, Sect Master," Ah Quan nodded, bending his body, not even daring to meet Wan Yuan's gaze.
"How did the investigation go? Did you engage in a fight?" Wan Yuan continued to ask.
"Tang Rao's strength is unknown, however, there's a young girl around fourteen or fifteen years old beside him, her strength is at least that of a Half-step Immortal Monarch, we..."
"Ah Quan!" Wan Yuan suddenly roared furiously, "Do you think I, Wan Yuan, am a fool? A fourteen-year-old Half-step Immortal Monarch, think about it, is it possible?"
"Sect Master, this... this is indeed unbelievable, but it's entirely true. Look at the palm prints on the chests of the six of us; they were all inflicted by that young girl at the same time," said Ah Quan, pointing to his chest.
"Enough!" Wan Yuan bellowed, "I already know what happened, Ah Quan, I have valued you guys so much, spent countless resources on you, but look at what you've done! Scared by a fourteen-year-old girl and all ran back home, do you still have any shame?"
"Sect Master, that young girl, she really is powerful..."
Ah Quan was also somewhat displeased, What can I do, I'm also desperate. You asked me to gauge Tang Rao's strength, and now when I come back to report, you say I'm spouting nonsense.
If you don't believe it, then why did you send me in the first place?
A fourteen-year-old Half-step Immortal Monarch might sound exaggerated, but from what I know, that's how it is. When she was beating us six, she was so fast we couldn't even see her.
"Ah Huan, you speak," Wan Yuan snorted coldly, and then, a shadowy figure appeared in the hall, dark and thin, almost like a skeleton.
Ah Quan knew this Ah Huan, always a shadow by Wan Yuan's side, extremely skilled at hiding.
It's said that even facing a Half-step Immortal Monarch, it's extremely difficult to notice Ah Huan.
Could it be, Sect Master not only sent us six but also dispatched Ah Huan? It must be so, otherwise, Ah Huan wouldn't be the one talking.
To be honest, Ah Quan felt somewhat uncomfortable, though Wan Yuan did it out of caution, it gave a feeling of distrust, Ah Quan did not like this feeling and could even say he detested it.
"All that happened between you guys and that young girl named Xiao Yun, I saw it all. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you were played by Tang Rao and Xiao Yun together. The entire courtyard was filled with various Arrays, and these are relatively high-level. If I'm not wrong, these should be combinations of Maze Illusion Array and Poison Array, which would unknowingly weaken your strength or even produce illusions. That Xiao Yun, she isn't some super expert, you were just misled by her coordination with the Arrays. Although the other party is more treacherous, you... also have responsibilities, not being careful enough, not being meticulous," Ah Huan told Ah Quan and the others.
Maze Illusion Array and Poison Array? Is that true? I didn't feel it at all.
If that's really the case, how advanced must Tang Rao's Array skills be!
"So, there was a seventh person..." In Tang Rao's yard, Hao Tian muttered to himself, this Ah Huan, he had never seen before.
As for Tang Rao and Xiao Yun, they weren't surprised at all; the Arrays had already detected this Ah Huan.
The words Xiao Yun scared Ah Quan and his group away with were also specifically told to her by Tang Rao for Ah Huan to hear.
"Keep watching, you will get your answers soon," Tang Rao said with a smile.
On the tablet, the video continued.
"Do you hear me? From now on, think more when you do things, don't always be so straightforward, do you understand?" Wan Yuan said, tapping the table.
"Yes, Sect Master, so what should we do next? Go directly to deal with Tang Rao?" Ah Quan asked.
"There's no need," Wan Yuan shook his head, "Hao Tian is now in his hands, Tang Rao probably thinks he has caught a handle, and can use it to threaten me. He will likely contact me proactively. When he lets his guard down, strike him with Thunder, sending this kid to Hell."
"Do we not care about Hao Tian?" Ah Quan asked again.
"Why should we? That idiot, I'm more relieved if he's dead," Wan Yuan's mouth curved up, a hint of ferocity and cruelty appearing in his eyes.
...
"How could... this be..." At this moment, the last line of defense in Hao Tian's heart was completely shattered.
