Only My Way

Chapter 634: Without a shred of foresight, only the purest, most craven fear of death ~

Six days later.

It was only now.

After a long period of rushing.

Hua Lishu finally managed to successfully leave the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] and smoothly arrived at the secret stronghold of the [Zhufeng Dynasty] closest to the [Demon Luo Tree Sea], a hidden complex of buildings concealed within a certain mountain.

In the past.

Every so often, Hua Lishu and the others, as exploration teams, would return here to rest and replenish various supplies.

And this place also had some management personnel.

They were usually responsible for handling various basic logistical tasks for Hua Lishu and the others.

Of course, if necessary.

These management personnel would also carry out rescue work for Hua Lishu and the others in critical moments…

Currently, in order to be efficient.

As the guy who rushed out of the [Demon Luo Tree Sea] first, Hua Lishu didn't even bring his subordinates, decisively choosing to abandon them and travel alone!

Therefore, when the various personnel inside this stronghold saw Hua Lishu, who looked somewhat disheveled and had an extremely strange expression, and then looked at the empty scene behind him… they immediately realized that something was wrong!

"What's wrong?"

Hearing a colleague's question.

Hua Lishu only replied with an unusually solemn expression:

"We found something…"

"But a very major accident occurred during the mission."

"Not only did our exploration team suffer extremely heavy personnel losses, but even all kinds of personal supplies were lost."

"Now, I need to contact His Majesty the King as quickly as possible…"

Hearing this.

Everyone present immediately changed their expressions drastically, not daring to waste time, and responded directly:

"Okay!"

Everyone was very clear about what the five words "We found something" represented.

That meant that after continuously searching for thousands of years, they had finally successfully found the legendary secret treasure!

However.

Hua Lishu's next words brought a little shock to everyone.

The shock of the thing being gone before they even had a chance to look at it…

Faced with such a situation.

Everyone simply couldn't imagine how shocked and angry those big shots would be upon hearing this news!

They were probably so angry that they would vomit blood on the spot…

Thinking of that situation.

While taking a breath of cold air, everyone couldn't help but glance at Hua Lishu with a slightly pitying look.

Everyone understood that no matter how things had developed into this, the loss of the thing was ultimately an unchangeable fact!

Therefore, Hua Lishu would inevitably suffer severe punishment from his superiors!

If things went wrong… no, it should be said that there was a high probability that he would lose his life…

Serving a king is like serving a tiger, this saying is universally true even in this world!!

About half an hour later.

Inside a special secret room within the stronghold.

Through special rune tools, just like some kind of ultra-long-range 3D projection.

Several figures whose main bodies were located countless miles away were directly projected here from afar.

Every one of those figures was a true big shot.

Even the weakest person was a genuine [Divine Power Realm cultivator], and the strongest ones were all [True Form Realm cultivators]!

Currently.

After listening to everything Hua Lishu reported.

After frowning and pondering for a moment.

One of the figures asked Hua Lishu with an extremely serious expression:

"So… you actually deliberately revealed the existence of the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone] to that person, rather than being afraid of death?"

Without a shred of hesitation or fear.

Hua Lishu responded with an extremely calm expression:

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

"After this subordinate and the others were driven out of the underground passage by those underground ferocious beasts, this subordinate immediately understood that if there were no accidents, the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone] would either be obtained by the monster overlord inside the [Demon Luo Tree Sea], or it would be taken away by some powerful underground ferocious beast as some kind of unexpected gain… But the heavens never block all paths, and that unknown evil cultivator directly became the key to breaking the situation!!"

"After realizing that the unknown evil cultivator possessed strength sufficient to crush most [Clarity Intent Realm cultivators], this subordinate immediately realized that compared to those two possibilities that could be described as cutting off all hope of retrieving it… if the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone] was actually taken away by an evil cultivator, then, without a doubt, the thing would be easier for us to snatch back!!"

"After all, the other party probably doesn't even know how to use the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone], and at most will only become a temporary keeper of the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone]."

"Ultimately, even if that person is stronger than me or even the entire exploration team, the other party will definitely not be stronger than our entire [Zhufeng Dynasty]…"

Even if Hua Lishu hadn't thought that much at the time.

But at this moment.

As a guy with a full desire to survive.

After racking his brains.

He finally managed to come up with an extremely suitable reason.

A set of rhetoric that sounded really reasonable.

It can only be said.

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

Faced with a life-and-death crisis that could not be avoided.

Hua Lishu's ability to make up stories directly reached a historical peak!

He forcibly supplemented his act of fearing death into an act of resourcefulness!

And hearing his words.

Although they felt that Hua Lishu might have some possibility of fearing death.

But after thinking about it carefully.

The various big shots felt that what the other party said seemed to make a lot of sense…

No matter how you think about it.

It was definitely better for the thing to fall into the hands of an evil cultivator than to fall into the hands of a monster overlord or an underground ferocious beast.

For a time.

The various big shots couldn't judge whether Hua Lishu's behavior of actively revealing the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone] to Ling Wuyuan was really a thoughtful move considering the overall situation, or whether it was simply out of fear of death…

After all, the matter was indeed explainable.

Even, Hua Lishu's behavior could indeed be described as the optimal solution…

At the same moment.

The management personnel of this stronghold.

Those guys who were extremely familiar with Hua Lishu.

As background boards standing in the room who didn't dare to speak.

They were also full of question marks.

Even if everyone was very familiar.

But after listening to Hua Lishu's words.

They still couldn't tell whether Hua Lishu was deliberately plotting against that unknown evil cultivator…

Clearly, Hua Lishu's behavior of actively leaking secrets to seek survival looked very much like fearing death, but after thinking carefully along the relevant lines of thought, everyone had to admit that Hua Lishu's approach undoubtedly preserved the hope of the [Zhufeng Dynasty] obtaining the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone]…

'Damn it…'

'Could it be that this old boy really calculated so deeply, rather than simply fearing death in the true sense!?'

In short.

After repeatedly thinking from different perspectives.

Everyone only felt that if Hua Lishu was replaced by themselves, then they would really find it difficult to come up with such a brilliant idea at that critical moment.

It could both protect one's own life.

And also preserve some hope of obtaining the [Heavenly Star Gold Stone].

The situation belonged to a real win-win situation…

They had no idea that the truth of the matter contained absolutely no foresight, only the purest, most craven fear of death ~

Currently.

Although his expression was solemn and incomparably, as if he was willing to die at any time to show his ambition, Hua Lishu was actually already sweating profusely…
