Chapter 178 Coercion

A cold killing intent flashed through Huang Bing's eyes, and she wanted to stab this hateful fellow in front of her until her heart felt cold. Wenyue Zhen's hands trembled slightly from anger, her eyes filled with killing intent, and she shouted, "Bullshit!"

The fat cultivator's gaze turned fierce as he sneered, "Hehe, I'm only talking about a fair deal. If you don't accept it, you can leave. If you want to cause trouble, consider your own weight first!" As he spoke, his spiritual energy locked onto Adept Wenyue.

The other five crew members also locked their Spiritual Energy onto Daoist Phoenix Ice and Daoist Wenyue. A trace of mockery hung on their faces as they pressed their left hands on the storage belt at their waist.

If it was in the past, Daoist Wenyue would have attacked long ago. However, her temper had been restrained by the recent setbacks. Adding on the heavy responsibility of the Tenghuang Pavilion 's inheritance, she endured it and withdrew her murderous aura. She coldly snorted, "Bing'er, let's go!"

The fat xiuzhe watched as the two of them retreated and said leisurely, "The boat leaves early tomorrow morning. After passing this village, there won't be any shops left. Soon, the entire continent will become a world of ghosts. You will die miserably, hehe!"

The expressions of everyone in the Tenghuang Pavilion changed. Along the way, they had encountered many ghosts. Most of their fellow disciples had died at the hands of ghosts, so they understood that fat cultivators were not alarmist.

Daoist Wenyue paused for a moment before continuing forward. He instructed the disciples of the Phoenix Pavilion of the Soaring Pavilion, "Let's go!" He left without turning his head.

The remaining eight male and female disciples of the Tenghuang Pavilion looked at Ju Yue with disappointment and followed behind Daoist Wenyue with their heads lowered. Beitang Gui felt that exchanging Huang Bing for everyone's chance to board the ship was worth it. However, he knew that Daoist Wenyue did not agree and that everything was in vain. He could only ruthlessly brush his sleeves.

"Old Lian, I can't tell that these natives are quite backbone!" A sailor said to the fat xiuzhe.

The fat xiuzhe narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's see, they will still turn around. That loving couple earlier gave in and obediently signed the slave contract for the sake of their family's survival on the boat!"

"Hehe, that's true. Unfortunately, the white-clothed woman's face is covered. I wonder what kind of person she is!"

"I'm sure it's a disaster level one. It's not wrong!"

Daoist Wenyue's expression was gloomy as he led Huang Bing and the others away. Beitang Gui finally couldn't help but ask, "Elder Wenyue, what should we do now? If the entire continent is truly occupied by the ghosts, then sooner or later, we will all die!"

Daoist Wenyue said in a deep voice, "What do you think we should do? Do you really want Bing'er to sacrifice herself to give me the chance to board the ship?"

"This … this old man doesn't mean that!" Beitang Gui stammered awkwardly.

Huang Bing noticed that the gazes of her fellow disciples were secretly looking at her. Most of them had complicated expressions, and some even had a trace of resentment mixed in their eyes. Huang Bing felt that her hands and feet were cold. Suddenly, she felt that these fellow disciples who shared the same tribulation were very unfamiliar. Were they eager to sell me in exchange for their chance to board the ship and survive?

Daoist Wenyue also noticed the abnormal atmosphere. Her gaze swept across everyone's faces and shouted coldly, "What about you? Are you saying that?"

The eight disciples of the Soaring Phoenix Pavilion couldn't help but lower their heads. Although they thought so in their hearts, no one had the courage to speak out. They could only lower their heads and remain silent. Daoist Wenyue smiled angrily, "Haha, looks like that's what you all mean!"

The disciples lowered their heads even lower. Everyone was silent like a cicada. From Daoist Wenyue's trembling voice, one could tell that she was furious. Perhaps someone would suffer immediately. Seeing this, Beitang Gui hurriedly said, "Elder Wenyue, calm down. We can think of other ways. Now, find a place to rest and recover our strength."

Daoist Wenyue snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many remaining disciples, she would have really wanted to kill a few to intimidate them. Right now, there were only eight disciples left. Each of them was extremely precious. If she killed one, then one would be missing.

Everyone in the Tengge Pavilion found a place to rest in the wind. Huang Bing was dressed in white like snow and sat quietly on a stone. She was like a white lotus blooming in the ice and snow, ethereal and arrogant. The other eight disciples gathered together in twos and threes, unconsciously separating themselves from Huang Bing. They chatted in low voices, and their gazes would occasionally glance towards Huang Bing.

Huang Bing's heart was icy cold. Her bright eyes were covered with a layer of ice and snow. She laughed self-mockingly in her heart, "In the face of life and death, all friendship between fellow disciples is a joke. In order to get the chance to board the ship, they would not hesitate to betray me. They even resented my selfishness and refused to exchange me for a chance to survive!"

At this time, a female disciple suddenly stood up and walked towards Huang Bing. Everyone else pretended to be doing their own things as if nothing had happened, but the corner of their eyes were still focused on this side.

"Senior Sister Huang Bing!" The female disciple walked in front of Huang Bing and called out with a smile on her face. However, that smile seemed a bit far-fetched.

This female disciple was called Huang Jin Hua. She was a middle-aged person with short legs. The only outstanding person was probably the pair of plump peaks on her chest.

Huang Bing was usually cold and cold. In the eyes of the other disciples, she always looked aloof and arrogant. In addition, her beautiful appearance made the male disciples feel ashamed of themselves and the female disciples jealous and reprimanded her. Therefore, she did not have any particularly friendly friends in the sect.

Huang Bing said indifferently, "Did they ask you to be indifferent to me?"

Golden Phoenix Flower's face immediately turned red, and a pocket on the side of her nose lit up. Obviously, she did not expect that Phoenix Ice would be so direct. She could only say, "Yes, on behalf of everyone, I request Senior Sister Huang Bing to put the overall situation first!"

Huang Bing said calmly, "I don't quite understand what you mean!"

When Huang Jinhua saw Huang Bing pretending to be stupid, she bravely said, "The ship is leaving tomorrow. Does Senior Sister Huang Bing have the heart to watch everyone get on the ship and die here in the end?"

Huang Bing sneered in her heart, "That boat isn't mine, what can I do?"

Huang Jinhua said angrily, "Senior Sister, why are you pretending to be stupid? As long as you agree to that person's request, we can board the ship!"

Huang Bing's heart turned from icy cold to burning with anger. With a cold face, she said, "Do you want me to sacrifice my innocence to give everyone a chance to board the ship?"

'"We all know that Senior Sister is wronged, but have you ever thought that if we all die here, the Tenghuang Pavilion will be completely annihilated? If we sacrifice you alone, we can let everyone live and let the Tenghuang Pavilion inherit. Isn't this all worth it? Senior Sister Huang Bing must put the overall situation first and not be so selfish!"

"Selfish!" A trace of mockery appeared on Huang Bing's face. The rage in her heart suddenly extinguished. She looked at Huang Jinhua with pity and said indifferently, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Huang Jinhua said emotionally, "I will not hesitate to agree. I will use my innocence alone to give my fellow disciples a chance to survive. It is pitiful that I do not have the peerless beauty of Senior Sister. Even if I am willing, I will not necessarily get other people's consent!" As he spoke, his face turned red.

Huang Bing smiled coldly and said indifferently, "Is that so? I will consider your suggestion!"

Huang Jinhua was overjoyed and nodded, "Senior Sister Huang Bing, everyone will be grateful to you!"

Huang Bing waved her hand with an indifferent expression. Huang Jinhua knew that she could not be too anxious and said with a grieved expression, "Senior Sister Huang Bing, you should think it over carefully. If you really don't want to, don't force it!" As he said that, he turned around and retreated. The expression on his face immediately changed to a frown dance, and he secretly gestured to the disciples in the distance.

Huang Bing saw their small movements in her eyes. Her furious mood calmed down. She suddenly felt very tired. Her body and mind were weak. She couldn't help but think of Chu Jun's upright figure, his cold and firm handsome face, and how she missed that strong and safe embrace.

"Chu Jun, where are you? The ship is leaving tomorrow. Can you make it?" Huang Bing touched the tips of her boots and silently looked towards the boundless ocean in the distance. The waves there were magnificent and boundless. Perhaps, there was no chance for them to see each other again.

Huang Bing took out the Li Dragon Cauldron Emblem and gently stroked the patterns on it. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Bing'er, what are you thinking?" Adept Wenyue's voice sounded from behind him.

Huang Bing hurriedly put away the Dragon Li Cauldron Emblem and stood up. She only saw Daoist Yue standing behind her and hurriedly said, "Nothing!"

Daoist Wenyue secretly sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, this elder will never let you sacrifice yourself in order to survive!"

Huang Bing's heart warmed. Right now, only Elder Wenyue truly cared about her. She shook her head and said, "Elder, don't worry. Disciple has come up with a way to board the ship!"

Daoist Wenyue was delighted at first, then sank, and shouted, "Bing'er, I definitely won't allow you to use your own body to exchange for a chance to board the ship!"

Huang Bing shook her head and said, "No, this disciple wants to bet the Ice Phoenix Sword to them. It's at least a Tier 4 Magic Treasure. It should be enough for our ship!"

Daoist Wenyue nodded and said, "This is feasible. Magic treasures are external items. If they are gone, they will be gone. However, the other party may not agree to bet on the sword!"

Huang Bing said, "Apart from that, this disciple has no other choice!"

Daoist Wenyue's expression turned fierce as he whispered, "This Elder has a plan, but I have to take some risks!"

Huang Bing couldn't help but be overjoyed. If there were other ways, it would be worth the risk. After all, Chu Jun had given the Phoenix Ice Sword to her, and it was a pair with the Thunder Dragon Sword. She really couldn't bear to give it to anyone else unless she had to.

"We are intercepting and killing some foreign cultivators. They must have spirit crystals on them!" Daoist Wenyue said in a deep voice, "However, this depends on luck. There is not much time left. Finding a suitable target is very difficult!"

Huang Bing's heart skipped a beat. She nodded and said, "There's still half a day and a night until tomorrow morning. No matter what, we have to give it a try. There should be some foreign xiuzhe rushing back to board the ship. We'll just stay around and fight. We really can't …" As he spoke, he tore off the cloth covering his face, revealing an extremely beautiful and moving face.
