Poison God's Heritage

Among the many faces, I saw one I was familiar with, and didn\'t really think it a coincidence anymore.

"Shen!" Law shouted as he waved his hand.

The cultivators near him all looked up as I came down towards them.

"What\'s going on?" I asked.

"We\'re trying to find a way, but it seems no one is being reasonable," he said.

"I suppose you\'re at an impasse, it seems that you have a plan already," I said as I noticed the scribbles on the ground.

"Yeah, but no one wants to be a part of the attacking force," Law said.

"Who\'s this?" one of the cultivators said, he had the same robes as Law. Probably the same sect.

"This man helped me solve many of the trials, he\'s very reliable," Law said.

"If he is reliable, he can join the attacking force," the man said in a sneer. "You\'re just a void stage cultivator, useless," he spat next to my foot.

On any other day, that man would be dead. But since he\'s wearing the same robes as Law, I refrained from killing him. But just because I\'m not killing him, that doesn\'t mean I\'ll be a pushover.

"You want to go past the giants?" I asked Law.

"Of course," he said.

"Follow me then, I can get you past them," I said as I was about to head out.

"Talking out of your ass, void stage, you don\'t seem to know much about the world.

Seeing that you\'re not affiliated to any of the Eight Sects, you must be one of those spoiled nobles, I have no idea how you got as far as you did, but just because you\'ve been eating heavenly treasures and sacred elixirs throughout your life, doesn\'t mean you get to have the world to bend back for you, fuck off!" the man said.

Law\'s face turned ugly as his sect member began talking shit, but he took a calm deep breath then a flash of a scheming and vicious grin appeared on his face.

"Brother Shen, in your plan, how many can you take with you?" he asked me.

"Emm, depends, I can probably take about a couple thousand if everything works out, not that it\'s hard," I said.

"A thousand," he said as he rubbed his chin. He then shouted toward the other cultivators, "My brother here has a way to take a thousand cultivator with him to the next stage! First come first serve! But you must bring something of value so you\'re accepted! FIRST COME FIRST SERVED!" he shouted.

The people took note of his words but then ignored it immediately, for them taking one or two would already be a stretch, but a thousand? That\'s nothing but the rambling of a fool.

"Stop fooling around, you\'ll bring our sect\'s name down to the mud!" his sect member said.

But Law didn\'t care and added, "In case of failure, by my master\'s name the Illusive Bow, I will compensate everyone ten times the value of what they\'d present to my brother Shen!"

This however made everyone reconsider.

"What are you doing?! Are you stupid! Do you think that Master will allow such a thing!"

"I have a feeling he will, also if it\'s brother Shen, then I have nothing to fear, now, who here wants to join in! it\'s a thousand spot!"

With the name of his master invoked, many cultivators approached, some began presenting some mediocre pills, but were immediately refused.

"If you think your life is only worth this much, then leave your spot for someone more worthy," Law said.

"What guarantees that your brother won\'t just run away after taking our things?" one of the cultivators that wanted to join and was skeptical asked.

"And go where?" Law said, "We\'re all stuck here, and he said he\'ll take all of us, in case you\'re worried or the plan fails just break your bracelet and you\'ll be teleported out, then you can go claim your compensation from my master,"

"You\'re really pushing your luck!" his sect member said, "Stop dragging our Master\'s Name through the mud, what could this guy even do, even an Origin realm cultivator failed to break through the titans!"

"That\'s because they\'re not my brother," Law said.

"Even if, by some ungodly miracle he is capable of such things, what guarantees that he can achieve what even origin realm cultivators couldn\'t? you\'re just talking out of your ass, and making our master appear in a bad image!"

"That\'s not something you should be bothered with, aren\'t you capable of solving things by yourself, now move, people behind you are interested," Law said.

His fellow sect mate scuffed and stormed away, shouting profanities and how foolish everything was.

Getting a thousand people to join in took a bit of time, but the reward from it was pretty damn good.

I received a load of materials I could use, mainly some herbs and metals, and a lot of pills that I didn\'t know of and some that I wanted. Not to mention a load of Saint Qi crystal and some Origin Qi shards as well.

It seems that they believed in Law, or at least believed in his word that his master will reward them ten times their investment.

Regardless I can easily bypass this encirclement.

Looking at the giants, I figured what happened. And the reason why they\'re not able to clear it. The giants died about nine times each. So they\'re pretty damn strong, for the first cultivators that got here, they already killed their way through and made it harder for the rest. And now everyone here is stuck, if they went to fight they\'ll get decimated.

But I can still manage against these guys, since I still have a few trump cards under my sleeve. Mainly, explosive trump cards.
