Chapter 360: Who Are You?
Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy
Long Tianyun surely deserved the title of the wisest man in the eight noble clans. Within just seconds, he actually could think of such. He truly had a terribly good brain. They all stopped talking, and when Long Tianyun looked at that man longer, he sighed.
The man’s eyes were filled with extreme confidence!
It felt like he only saw them like a bunch of chickens, weak and easy to defeat!
He was so confident, so it wouldn’t be easy to ask him for help. Unless they offered him something truly valuable in return, he wouldn’t do the favor, not even if they both shared the same purpose. Things were not so good on Long Tianyun’s side!
"Since you have covered your face and disguised your voice, I guess you are a man that we are familiar with, right?" Long Tianyun blandly smiled. He reached out his hand and pointed at a nearby chair. "A guest, who we are familiar with, came to visit at night. Please come and have some tea."
While he was speaking, he was thinking, [Who is this guy?
He is not from the two great sects. I suppose?
If he is, he wouldn’t need to mask his face!
Then who is he?
He showed up himself. Why cover his face?
It truly is hard to tell!]
"Don’t bother." The man blandly smiled and said, "Clan Master Long, I showed myself this time and it shocked you all. I am sorry. I am just so interested in your plan. Since you all have devoted your lives for it, then why don’t you just tell me the names of those in the surviving group, so that I can secretly take care of them for you…"
The guys were angry when they heard him. [We are going to die, but can you not say it out in front of us? It is not interesting! The names of them? Do you know how important they are to us? How can we tell you their names? What is wrong with you?]
Long Tianyun’s face was calm, yet in his mind, he was hesitating. He thought that this man should be a friend, but he didn’t seem like one. The first thing he said actually pissed them all. He even sounded like threatening them. Long Tianyun wondered if he finally made a wrong judgement.
He heard the man continued with a complacent laugh, "Do not doubt my sincerity. I do what I promise. At least I can make sure they won’t be killed and just be dumped aside in the wild. Well, whatever I do, it costs some. Think of it as reusing waste. Look, imagine if they all get killed and all the supreme dan beads are gone. That is a great waste…"
The guys felt even more furious. The man was here for the supreme dan beads. He talked like he really wanted to help, but he was actually thirsty for the dan beads. That was disgusting!
Long Tianyun was totally certain that he had made a wrong judgement. And then he came up with a new thought.
"I guess you are not people of the great sects…" Long Tianyun’s eyes looked cold. He blandly spoke, "However, all other sects got supreme dan beads… Besides, they all are just like us, hiding and trying not to be wiped out… Well then, I guess I have an idea about who you truly are."
The masked man in black blandly spoke, "Long Tianyun is indeed a wise man. At such a moment, you are still so calm. Even if you truly know who I am… so what? Is it that important to you?"
Long Tianyun smiled and said, "True. It is not important. Not really!"
The man in black blandly spoke, "Right. The important thing is that I know all about your plan. Most importantly, you can do nothing to me!"
Long Tianyun’s eyes flashed. He blandly spoke, "Since you have guts to show yourself here, you surely will get away from us. But we do have a way to reveal your true identity! You must be people of Cyan Cloud Sect! Since you already showed up, why don’t you just show us your face. Let me look at you. I wonder which of my old friends would actually play such tricks on me!"
The man in black shook his head. "Long Tianyun, I thought you are truly a wise man, a clever man. How could you say such an unfriendly thing under such a situation? You know, what you just said may possibly ruin the future of all your clans?"
Long Tianyun stepped back. In his eyes was anger. He decisively spoke, "Things are how it is. There is no turning around. Clever or not, if we will die, we die with clear minds! Guys, let’s do something to force him to show himself. Even if we all die today, he will be a company to us!"
Over twenty superior cultivators spread out and surrounded that man. The man was in the middle of them.
At the moment, those who were guarding outside came in to join them.
Under the surroundings, the man in black would never be able to get away!
There showed the flash of a sword light. A man of the Gongsun Clan attacked first. After him, there followed countless sword moves.
This man in black showed up and interrupted these guys’ plan. Now their last hope was gone, so everybody hated that man.
"Let’s work together, get him killed!" Long Tianyun seemed to recall something. His voice turned louder, "Since this man showed up, he has been playing tricks from the beginning. I reckon he must be alone today! He wants to take the dan beads on his own. If we kill him, our plan will still be available!"
The bunch of men were thrilled when they heard it.
It was quite right though.
No matter who that man in black was, if he had company, they would show up together! However, no one showed up.
Apparently, he was here alone!
As Long Tianyun said, if they killed this man, they still had the perfect plan. If not, everything was gone from them!
The man in black felt that those men were attacking more and more fiercely. He became slower. He waved his hand and a long narrow sword showed up in his hand. He swayed the sword and thousands of shadows and lights showed up. It was vigorous and fierce. He smiled and said, "Long Tianyun is truly clever. How admiring. However, do you think you can keep me here just with this lot of people? I dare to show up because I know I can safely get out of here!"
