CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 281: THE THING DELIVERED TO THE DOOR (4)_1

Thinking of how Shangguan You was about to face the same situation as him, he strangely felt much better.

Beast! Human scum! Go to hell! Shangguan You cursed angrily in her heart. She almost jumped up to slap Zhuge Ao several times. Damn it, those scumbags from the Inferno Sect are scum through and through, coming up with such a despicable idea! "Hmm..." Shangguan You suppressed the rage in her heart and spoke, her voice so cold it chilled both men to the bone.

"Senior, if it’s inconvenient for you, we can draw the person out."

"That’s right! Then Senior can deal with her however you wish."

Zhuge Ao and Shen Po felt their breathing become hurried, as if the earth around them was slowly compressing. They spoke up quickly.

"Hmph! If I want something, I’ll just take it by force, not through shameless means like you. I was going to let you go, but you’re just too shameless," Shangguan You said with a sneer, her voice old yet filled with heavy killing intent.

"Old Senior, you promised to let us go! If you bury us here, wouldn’t you be as shameless as us?"

"That’s right! We are shameless, but Senior is different. You are a highly cultivated and moral person."

Zhuge Ao and Shen Po spoke rapidly. They hadn’t lived long enough. They still hadn’t found the Five Spirit Pearls. They didn’t want to die like this. "Hmph," Shangguan You huffed coldly. The water that had been gushing onto the two men slowed to a stop, and their bodies slowly began to move upward.

Their hearts leaped with joy; they were finally not going to be buried alive! Just as they were feeling elated, their bodies’ upward movement stopped, and they heard a voice they hated so much it made their teeth gnash.

"I always stand by my word. I said I would let you go, and I will. You’re one hundred meters from the surface, and I’ve even dug a tunnel for you. You can crawl out at your leisure."

Shangguan You chuckled coldly as her form completely vanished into the earth. The moment she disappeared, the light surrounding the two men faded completely, leaving a fifty-centimeter-high tunnel in front of them.

"This is the path to the surface. Just follow this route, and you’ll be able to get out. Good luck with that," Shangguan You’s triumphant voice rang in their ears. This passage is impossible to walk through, let alone crawl!

They could dig their way out with their hands, but one hundred meters? How long would that take them? Looking at the tiny passage before them, their mouths twisted viciously. Such a small passage, and he calls it a ’great path’? You must be blind, old man! "Damn it! Going back on your word, you old bastard! If you ever fall into my hands, I’ll definitely get my revenge for today!" Zhuge Ao cursed furiously.

"Come on, start digging. Otherwise, we’ll starve to death here if we don’t get out."

Shen Po crouched down. The fifty-centimeter-high passage shrank to twenty-five centimeters high as Zhuge Ao cursed, now requiring twice the effort.

"Damn it..."

"Enough! No more cursing! If you keep it up, we’ll actually be buried alive!" Shen Po quickly covered Zhuge Ao’s mouth to stop him. If he kept cursing, they wouldn’t make it out alive.

Dragging Zhuge Ao, they started digging like rats beneath the earth. Meanwhile, Shangguan You watched coldly as the two men dug with their hands and feet, a sneer touching the corner of her mouth as her body quickly drilled towards the surface.

"Girl, you’re getting more and more formidable."

She hadn’t even had time to take off her clothes when she was startled by a teasing voice. Damn it, Ye San Shao! Do you have to be so unbearably persistent?

Ye San Shao, dressed in a black suit, sat on a chair with his legs slightly crossed, his star-like eyes smiling at the figure emerging from the ground. In the middle of the wilderness, this damn Ye San Shao actually managed to find a chair! And he’s sitting there so proudly in the darkness, just waiting for me to emerge. This damn guy!

Shangguan You silently rolled her eyes. Ye San Shao, can’t you just stop haunting me?

"TSK TSK TSK, that outfit isn’t bad at all. Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger—it really suits you. I might borrow it someday," Ye San Shao’s teasing voice continued to ring in her ears. His lips curled slightly as he looked at her petite frame shrouded in the black clothes. He then stood up and began to eye her with increasing satisfaction. The few stray white whiskers especially added to the belief that she was an old man—and an old man of considerable age at that.

"Hmph! Dream on if you think you can use it," Shangguan You snorted coldly. She was about to remove the black clothes but stopped as a powerful aura swept towards them.

"Careful!" Ye San Shao exclaimed softly, his figure flashing in front of her just as a torrent of Spiritual Power rolled in their direction.

Shangguan You felt the blood roil in her chest. Thankfully, Ye San Shao was there to block most of the attack. Otherwise, if all that Spiritual Energy had hit me, I would have been seriously injured. Who is this attacker?

"The Ye Family is indeed formidable, to be able to block me," an ancient voice spoke up. White whiskers appeared along with another surge of Spiritual Power, pressing down on them again. Shangguan You leaped swiftly into the air. BANG! Her previous spot on the ground exploded as the Spiritual Power blasted a large hole.

"Which bastard dares to ambush me?!" Zhuge Ao’s roaring voice surged from beneath the earth, followed by two disheveled, dirt-covered, wretched-looking old men crawling out.

"Hmph! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!" the newcomer roared angrily. Then, another old man in traditional Tang attire appeared, glaring at Zhuge Ao and Shen Po.

"Master!"

Both men spoke simultaneously and knelt before the newcomer, their wretched state clear for all to see.

"Useless! Buried alive without the power to retaliate," the newcomer scolded. His gaze then flitted between Shangguan You, still in her black disguise, and Ye San Shao.

"Master, it’s that old man! She not only stole my Fire Spirit Pearl, but she also has the Earth Spirit Bead!"
