Gods: Starting with the Goblins - Chapter 691
.For a time, the battlefield was filled with sword energy and murderous aura. The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to resolve.
However, as time went on, Elder Tianji’s physical strength began to gradually decline.
After all, he was old and could not fight with several young sect elders for a long time.
And several sect elders became more and more courageous and their offensive became more and more fierce.
Elder Tianji saw that the situation was not good, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
He knew that if he persisted, he might die here.
So he began to look for an opportunity to escape.
He used his rich combat experience and keen insight to cleverly avoid the attacks of several sect elders.
At the same time, he also seized the flaws of several sect elders and launched a fierce counterattack.
For a time, the situation on the battlefield reversed. Elder Tianji gradually reversed the situation with his strength and wisdom. Several sect elders began to retreat step by step and their morale was low.
However, just when Elder Tianji was about to win, an unexpected situation occurred. An elder of a sect suddenly displayed a mysterious martial art, and a powerful sword energy slashed towards Elder Tianji.
Elder Tianji was caught off guard and was hit by the sword energy. His body shook, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body began to shake. He knew that he was injured.
Several elders of the sect were overjoyed to see that Elder Tianji was injured. They all displayed their unique skills and launched a final attack on Elder Tianji. For a time, the battlefield was full of sword energy and murderous aura.
Elder Tianji endured the pain, waved the long sword in his hand, and launched a final fierce battle with several elders of the sect. However, due to his serious injuries, his strength was greatly reduced. In the end, he was subdued to the ground by several elders of the sect.
“Humph! Old man Tianji, you finally lost to us!” An elder of the sect sneered, “Now, can you hand over the Shenzangtu?”
Elder Tianji lay on the ground, spitting blood, his face as pale as paper. He widened his eyes, glaring at the elders in front of him, his voice low and trembling: “You…you don’t even think about getting the Shenzang Map!”
“Don’t even think about getting it? Humph! Do you think you still have a choice?” Another elder sneered, “Now, your life and death are in our hands. As long as you are willing to hand over the Shenzang Map, we may spare your life.”
When Elder Tianji heard this, he felt a strong sense of humiliation and anger in his heart. He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, as if to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He knew that he might not be able to escape today.
However, just when several elders were about to force Elder Tianji to hand over the Shenzang Map, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded.
They attacked Elder Tianji, and the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. The figures of several people flashed like ghosts, with fierce murderous intent, and approached Elder Tianji. Elder Tianji felt the power that erupted from several people. The power was surging like a mountain torrent, which made him feel cold. He knew that these guys were probably completely crazy for the Shenzang Map, and they didn’t even hesitate to attack him, Elder Tianji.
Elder Tianji’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He was not afraid of the siege of these people from the sects, but he also knew that he might not be the opponent of so many people. After all, two fists can’t beat four hands, not to mention that these people are the elites of various sects, and their strength should not be underestimated.
At this critical moment, Elder Tianji suddenly interrupted their offensive. He took a deep breath and said in a low and firm voice: “Don’t you just want the Shenzang Map? In fact, it’s not that I can’t draw it for you.”
As soon as these words came out, the offensive of several people suddenly stagnated. They looked at each other, obviously not expecting Elder Tianji to agree so readily. One of the sect elders frowned and said, “Elder Tianji, are you serious? Are you really willing to give us the Shenzang map?”
Elder Tianji snorted coldly, with a sly light in his eyes: “Of course I am willing, but… you have to agree to one condition of mine.”
“What condition?” Several people asked almost at the same time, their eyes full of expectation and greed.
“It’s very simple, you have to let me leave here safely and not do anything to me again.” Elder Tianji said lightly, as if everything was under his control.
After hearing this, several people fell into silence. They looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons of this condition. Finally, an elder of the sect said, “Okay, we promise you. As long as you give us the Shenzang map, we will let you go.”
Elder Tianji smiled slightly, but sneered in his heart. He knew that these people must have never seen the real Shenzang map, otherwise they would not believe his words so easily. He planned to draw a fake Shenzang map for them, so that they would mistakenly think they had obtained the real treasure.
So, Elder Tianji started to draw. His technique was skillful and quick, and soon, a Shenzang map that looked like the real map appeared in his hands. He gently handed the map to a sect elder, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
The sect elder took the map, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Elder Tianji with a frown: “This… is this really the Shenzang map?”
Elder Tianji chuckled: “Of course it is real, would I lie to you?”
The others frowned, obviously surprised by Elder Tianji’s decisiveness. But they soon reacted, and couldn’t help but speculate in their hearts: Could it be that he had already thought of a way, so he made such a move here!
An elder of the sect couldn’t help but ask: “Elder Tianji, why did you do this? Aren’t you afraid that after we get the Shenzang map, our strength will increase greatly and pose a threat to you?”
Elder Tianji heard this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Threat? Why should I, Elder Tianji, be afraid of threats? Besides, whether this Shenzang map is really useful depends on your luck. I just did a favor and gave you the opportunity to explore the unknown treasure.”
After speaking, Elder Tianji flashed and disappeared from everyone’s sight like a ghost. Only a few elders of the sect were left standing there, holding the fake Shenzang map tightly in their hands, full of doubts and confusion.
However, Elder Tianji did not really leave. He hid in a hidden corner, secretly observing the actions of several elders of the sect. When he saw that they were ecstatic because they got the fake Shenzang map, and even began to discuss how to distribute the treasure, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
He knew that these people would never know that the Shenzang map in their hands was actually just a carefully designed scam. And the real Shenzang map had long been hidden by him in a place unknown to anyone. He, Elder Tianji, has never been a man who can be manipulated by others. This time, he just used a small trick to easily resolve the crisis.
After discussing it, several elders of the sect decided to set off immediately to find the treasure in the Shenzang map. They left this place excitedly, completely unaware that they had been played around by Elder Tianji.
And Elder Tianji stood quietly in place, watching their backs gradually disappear from sight. There was a deep light in his eyes, as if he had seen the astonishment and regret of these people when they discovered the truth one day in the future. He smiled gently, then turned and left, disappearing into the vast mountains and forests.
“Maybe you gave us a fake kidney map. Who will we go to for justice? You will definitely not help us solve it!” A sect elder’s voice was full of dissatisfaction and doubt. His eyes were fixed on Elder Tianji, as if he wanted to find some flaws on his face.
Elder Tianji heard this and smiled faintly, but he couldn’t help laughing in his heart. This group of people are really good at making trouble. How could he give them a fake Shenzang map? However, he also understood their concerns. After all, Shenzang map is a supreme treasure for any sect, enough to make anyone crazy.
“Don’t worry, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. You have already said that, so I will definitely help you, right!” Elder Tianji’s words were a bit soothing and sincere. His eyes swept over everyone present, trying to make them believe him.
However, despite Elder Tianji’s sincere words, the elders of the sects present were still half-believing and half-doubting. They looked at each other and secretly speculated on Elder Tianji’s intentions. After all, the temptation of the Shenzang Map was too great, so they had to be cautious.
“Elder Tianji, are you serious about what you said?” An elder of the sect couldn’t help asking, with a bit of temptation and uneasiness in his voice.
“Of course I am serious. When has Elder Tianji ever broken his promise?” Elder Tianji chuckled, his tone full of confidence. He knew that his reputation still had a certain weight among these elders of the sect.
As Elder Tianji’s voice fell, the elders of the sects present looked at each other, as if they were silently exchanging opinions. In the end, they decided to believe Elder Tianji once, after all, they had no better choice.
Under the eyes of everyone, Elder Tianji slowly unfolded a yellowed drawing, on which were densely drawn various strange symbols and patterns. This is the legendary Shenzangtu, which contains endless treasures and secrets, enough to make anyone crazy.
Elder Tianji’s fingers gently slid across the map, as if showing the secrets to everyone. There was a deep light in his eyes, as if he had seen the surprise and ecstasy of these people when they found the treasure with the help of the Shenzangtu one day in the future.
“This is the Shenzangtu, you keep it well and don’t disclose it to outsiders.” Elder Tianji’s voice was low and serious, and his eyes swept over everyone present one by one, as if he wanted to engrave this sentence deeply in their hearts.
Looking at the Shenzangtu in hand, several sect elders finally showed a satisfied smile on their faces. They looked at each other, as if celebrating this hard-won victory. The Shenzangtu finally fell into their hands, which meant that they would have the opportunity to explore the endless treasures and secrets.
“Thank you, Elder Tianji!” A sect elder couldn’t help but thank him, with a bit of excitement and sincerity in his voice.
“You’re welcome. We are all fighting for the common good.” Elder Tianji chuckled, his tone full of indifference and ease. He knew that this deal was fair to both parties, and he also expected these people to find their own treasures with the help of the Divine Treasure Map.
With the delivery of the Shenzangtu, the storm finally came to an end. After getting the Shenzangtu, several elders of the sect couldn’t wait to leave this place and prepare to start their treasure hunt. Elder Tianji stood quietly in place, watching their backs gradually disappear from sight, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
He knew that the appearance of the Shenzangtu would trigger an unprecedented treasure hunt craze, and this craze would also change the pattern of the entire cultivation world. He looked forward to future changes, and also looked forward to these people being able to find their own opportunities and fortunes with the Shenzangtu.
After this storm, Elder Tianji also started his own plan. He did not relax his vigilance because of the delivery of the Shenzangtu, but instead observed the trends of the cultivation world more carefully. He knew that the appearance of the Shenzangtu was just the beginning, and the real challenges and opportunities were still waiting for him.
And the elders of the sect who got the Shenzangtu began intensive preparations after leaving Elder Tianji. They knew that the appearance of the Shenzangtu meant that they would have the opportunity to become the best in the cultivation world, and they must seize this opportunity, otherwise they would miss it.
So, they began to gather the elite disciples in the sect and prepare to start their treasure hunt. They believed that under the guidance of the Shenzangtu, they would be able to find the endless treasures and secrets and become legendary figures in the cultivation world.
However, what they didn’t know was what kind of secrets and dangers were hidden behind the Shenzangtu. What they didn’t know was that when Elder Tianji delivered the Shenzangtu, he had left his own backhand in it. This treasure hunt will be a journey full of unknowns and dangers, and they will also face unprecedented challenges and tests.
“Old man Tianji, you finally did something human, but we all heard that this Shenzangtu is missing a piece. Do you know the whereabouts of that piece!” A sect elder said with some dissatisfaction and eagerness in his tone, and his eyes were fixed on Elder Tianji, as if he wanted to pry out the secret of the missing part from the other party.
Elder Tianji smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. “You guys always have such beautiful dreams. But what’s the use of telling you? You won’t find it anyway.” (End of this chapter)
