Open up and break into another world

“Kid, didn't expect it, did you? We meet again!”

Playing his part to the fullest, Xu Ming feigned a look of utter terror: “It's you? Fang Lai!”

Immediately, Xu Ming turned to Wu Kun and the others, rebuking them: “Didn't you say that the strongest here was only at the Spiritual Sand Realm? Why is Fang Lai here too!? Is this what you call absolute certainty?”

“Hahahaha…” Now that things had come to this, Wu Kun and the others no longer bothered to hide anything. “Fool, you still don't understand by now? We deliberately lured you here!”

“Lured me here?” Xu Ming continued to act.

“Hahahaha, young man, the world is a dangerous place! Today, you're going to have to accept your fate!” Wu Kun was almost beside himself with glee.

At this moment, Fang Lai slowly stepped forward, a sinister grin on his face: “Aren't you good at running? Come on, run a little more and let me see!”

With the confinement formation activated, in Fang Lai's eyes, Xu Ming had no way to escape.

Xu Ming, with a “pale” face, said nothing.

In fact, Xu Ming was rapidly calculating in his mind: “So many experts, how many Hanging Points and Dao Devil Essences will that be!”

Xu Ming realized that he seemed to be about to… make a fortune!

A very, very big fortune!

Just then—

“Brother, brother, I heard that the genius has been caught?” Fang Hui rushed out in a flurry.

Ever since Xu Ming ran away a few days ago, Fang Hui had been “longing” for Xu Ming; in recent days, he had even lost interest in his other “beloved concubines”.

Soon, Fang Hui saw Xu Ming: “Great, you're here, you're finally here! I've… missed you so much!!”

“Ugh…” Xu Ming almost threw up; the way he looked at Fang Hui was no different than looking at a dead man.

This Fang Hui, wanting to “get on” him and wanting to kill him, Xu Ming had long labeled him as a dead man.

“Brother, quickly capture him! I can't wait any longer!” Fang Hui said repeatedly.

“What's the rush? He can't run away!” Fang Lai said confidently.

In his opinion, Xu Ming was now a turtle in a jar, to be caught however he pleased.

At this moment, Wu Kun cautiously smiled at Fang Lai: “Warden Fang, we have already captured the person; what about… our reward?”

Fang Lai was responsible for guarding this teleportation gate, his position was “Warden”; ordinary people would respectfully call him “Warden Fang”.

“Reward?” Fang Lai glanced at them. “Easy to talk about!”

Wu Kun and the others were immediately overjoyed.

What were they scheming for, going to great lengths to trick Xu Ming into coming here? Wasn't it for the reward for wanted Xu Ming!?

“Oh, right!” Fang Lai suddenly said, “What exactly did I say the reward was?”

Wu Kun flattered him with a smile: “You said that anyone who could provide this person's location, the Remnant Moon Sect would allow him to move freely in the Outer Hall from then on. Whoever could capture or kill this person could obtain the opportunity to enter the Inner Hall!”

Wu Kun, Luo Yuling, and the others all eagerly waited—they had brought Xu Ming here directly! According to the agreement, they should be able to enter the Inner Hall!

“Inner Hall…” Wu Kun and the others stared at the thousand-zhang stone gate with shining eyes.

How many times had they fantasized about passing through the teleportation gate and entering the Inner Hall to hunt Dao Devil Essences! Now, their dream seemed to be finally coming true.

“Yes, that's what I said!” Fang Lai said with a smile.

“That's great!”

A slight sense of foreboding flashed through Wu Kun and the others' hearts, but they still asked, “Warden Fang, 'however' what?”

“However… I only prepared the reward for one person; now that more than a dozen of you have come, who should I give the reward to?” Fang Lai's eyes held cunning.

“Warden Fang, we joined forces to trick this kid into coming here!” Wu Kun said quickly.

“Of course I know that!” Fang Lai said, “However, I didn't consider the situation of multiple people joining forces! I only prepared the reward for one person!”

“This…” Wu Kun, Luo Yuling, and the dozen or so others looked at each other.

The reward was only prepared for one person?

However, everyone wanted to enter the Inner Hall; who would claim this reward?

Wu Kun said, “I am the strongest and most experienced; let me enter the Inner Hall! When I come out of the Inner Hall, I will definitely bring Dao Devil Essences back for everyone!”

“Definitely?” A scoffing voice rang out, “What makes us believe your 'definitely'?”

“That's right, that's right, what if you enter the Inner Hall, become successful, and then turn your back on us? Who would we cry to?”

“Wu Kun!” Luo Yuling had a determined look on her face. “You're old, and you've already used a lot of Dao Devil Beads; if you enter the Inner Hall, your future will ultimately be limited! Let me go instead! I'm younger than you, my strength is no less than yours, and I've used fewer Dao Devil Beads… If I go, I will definitely gain more than you!”

“Why should you go?” Someone immediately retorted to Luo Yuling, “Speaking of age, I'm much younger than you! My future is definitely better—you should let me go!”

…

For a time, Wu Kun and the dozen or so others argued.

Although everyone patted their chests and swore that once they entered the Inner Hall, they would definitely “not forget each other in wealth”, the problem was—in the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain, how many people would believe such promises?

In the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain, or rather, on the entire continent, everyone believed in only one thing—strength!

“You'd better hurry up and discuss who will receive the reward!” Fang Lai urged, “Once it's decided, I'll immediately let him enter the Inner Hall!”

Hurry up and discuss it?

However, in this kind of situation, let alone a short while, even if they discussed it for three days and three nights, there might not be a result!

“Oh, right—” Fang Lai suddenly said again, “You're all poachers, right?”

Poachers?

Hearing these three words, Wu Kun and the others were immediately shocked—the Earth-Rank forces in the Dao Devil Hall would kill poachers without exception!

Why did Fang Lai suddenly mention the words “poachers”?

Anyone with a little bit of brains could smell a hint of foreboding.

Fang Lai continued, “I will naturally fulfill my promise to the reward recipient and let him enter the Inner Hall! But the others…” Saying this, Fang Lai grinned hideously, “The other dozen or so poachers, do you really think my Remnant Moon Sect is easy to bully, daring to run to the teleportation gate to play around? You're truly arrogant to the extreme!”

“What!?”

Wu Kun and the others widened their eyes in horror.

At this moment, dozens of guards from the teleportation gate also surrounded them menacingly; each of them looked at Wu Kun and his group with a “cat-and-mouse” gaze, teasingly.
