A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 993 - 979: Beset on All Sides

The three of them all felt something was amiss.

If one person senses something abnormal, it might be a mistake in perception, but when three people sense it at the same time, it only means there is indeed a problem.

The three quickly searched the entire great hall and the courtyard outside.

As a result, they did not find anything unusual.

With no anomalies found.

The Divination Master could only take out a deck of cards and said in a low voice, "Let me perform a divination."

Since they didn't know where this feeling was coming from,

he could only divine himself.

The result.

After completing the divination, the result turned out to be a great misfortune.

"What happened?"

Mike Tea saw the expression change on the Divination Master's face and couldn't help but ask.

Looking at Mike Tea's face, the Divination Master suddenly thought, the source of this great misfortune might very well be not someone else, but rather his two comrades beside him.

After all.

Everyone was mixed up in the cult.

It's very likely they would betray each other.

This is the most common thing, and the Divination Master could reach his current position, not unrelated to his suspicious nature.

Every Great Prophet,

is invariably a cunning old fox.

"It's nothing, the divination shows that this trip might not be smooth, everyone needs to be careful,"

the Divination Master said in a low voice.

Mike Tea and the Hermit Order leader heard this and their expressions changed slightly; although none of the three explicitly spoke, it was clear that this fragile alliance was on the brink of collapse.

Trust amongst all was rapidly declining.

Especially since no one even talked about the specific distribution plan.

Mike Tea wanted Machima to perform Life Refining, the Hermit Order leader wanted the Dragon Bead, and since the Divination Master contributed, he naturally couldn't leave empty-handed.

The cooperation among the three started to become complicated.

...

On the other side.

Baiyu thought of a way to rescue Machima, that was to harness the power of the masses.

There were a large number of Martial Artists in the Seven Coiling Hall, and they were continuously increasing, plus with Blood Qi and Spirituality being suppressed, it actually narrowed the gap between masters and ordinary Martial Artists.

There is strength in numbers.

If Baiyu exposes the situation in the hall to attract more people, the plan of the three will certainly be disrupted.

The more chaotic the situation becomes,

the safer Machima will be.

But the only concern is that this method might attract the powerhouses of the Eclipse Moon Realm.

Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.

It's not that safe.

"No matter, as long as I can hold on for three days, Machima will wake up, and we'll see then."

Baiyu could only do so for now.

Soon.

Amidst a group of Martial Artists who were fighting fiercely over a half-human-tall spirit tree, Baiyu suddenly shouted.

"The Dragon Bead has emerged over there, someone wants to take it all!"

This shout was like a magnitude ten earthquake.

The two opposing sides suddenly stopped, and among them were quite a few disciples from the three major families.

"The Dragon Bead has emerged again?"

"Seems like the woman who previously snatched the Dragon Bead didn't escape the Seven Coiling Hall after all, she must have tried to absorb it, only to be injured by the power contained in the Dragon Bead."

"Such a heavenly treasure should naturally belong to someone virtuous; looks like the Dragon Bead is mine after all!"

"Bullshit, I've already formed a spiritual connection with the Dragon Bead, don't you dare fight me for it."

A group of people surged forward.

Rushing in the direction Baiyu pointed.

After this first attempt, Baiyu seamlessly repeated the process at several more places where many Martial Artists gathered, posing as a panicked escapee:

"Brothers, you don't know how chaotic it is over there. For the Dragon Bead, these people have gone completely mad, disregarding their lives.

Now is the fierce stage of scrambling for the Dragon Bead, don't go there at all."

The more he said this,

the more interested these people became in the Dragon Bead.

Anyone daring enough to enter the Seven Coiling Hall is no weakling; confidence in their own strength is basic, and the temptation of the Dragon Bead is just too great.

After Baiyu repeated this method a few times,

at least two hundred people gathered and mobbed towards the side hall.

Soon.

Baiyu watched from afar as an intense battle broke out immediately.

"Such efficiency."

He hid behind the crowd, feeling secretly pleased as he watched the situation resemble the six major sects besieging Bright Summit.

And soon.

The identities of the three were recognized by the crowd.

"So it's three cultists, daring to appear openly in the relic of Seven Coils, you must have a death wish."

"Brothers, when dealing with these cultists, there's no need for chivalry or justice, let's all go and take these three down!"

"They even want to monopolize the Dragon Bead, that's an insult to us Martial Artists of the Free Federation!"

Someone incited the crowd.

In an instant.

A group of Martial Artists, led by the disciples of the three major families, launched an attack on Mike Tea, the Hermit Order leader, and the Divination Master.

Baiyu watched the gruesome scene, unable to stop his eyelids from twitching violently.

The three indeed lived up to being cult leaders; even without Blood Qi and Spirituality, they still had many tricks up their sleeves, and the group of Martial Artists could only continuously attack with their superior numbers.

In the end.

Over a hundred Martial Artists invaded the courtyard.

The energy that leaked from the great hall invigorated everyone instantly.

"The Dragon Bead, this is definitely the aura of the Dragon Bead!"

"These old guys really wanted to keep the Dragon Bead for themselves, let's kill them!"

In an instant.

The Martial Artists were filled with righteous indignation.

While the Divination Master and the other two gnashed their teeth.

They couldn't understand who had leaked the information.

Clearly, special defensive measures had been set up outside the courtyard so that even if someone passed by the gate, they wouldn't notice this place. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Yet in such a short time,

over a hundred Martial Artists had gathered and were attacking together.

Mike Tea's gaze lingered momentarily on the Divination Master and the Hermit Order leader; besides these two, he really couldn't think of any other leak possible here.

When he had discovered the place, it was completely empty.

And the other two,

obviously were also suspicious of each other.

The three, each with their own ulterior motives, had a fragile alliance that was at this moment completely shattered.

As over a hundred Martial Artists attacked,

Mike Tea's eyes swept coldly before he twisted his body and vanished from the spot.

He escaped!

The Divination Master and the Hermit Order leader hadn't expected their companion to act so decisively, fleeing without hesitation.

In an instant.

The Divination Master understood Mike Tea's thinking.

They didn't need to hold their ground; once this group of Martial Artists breaks in and they vanish, internal strife would eventually happen.

Staying here now,

would only make them the target of many.

But unlike Mike Tea, the Divination Master and the Hermit Order leader didn't have a quick escape method.

"Go! These two can't escape!!"

Someone suddenly shouted from within the crowd.

In an instant, a group of Martial Artists surged forward to attack.

This battle was extremely bloody; the Hermit Order leader narrowly escaped with a last breath, while the Divination Master was severely injured, almost perishing here.

But the two, after all, were cult leaders.

They had many tricks up their sleeves and weren't completely wiped out by the army; Baiyu couldn't help but feel regret about this.

After the three escaped.

The group of Martial Artists finally entered the great hall.
