<h4>Chapter 1255: Chapter 1264</h4>


    Ming Chong tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "This is a good idea."


    Chu Ge and the others immediately gave Lin Dong a look that said, "Take care of yourself," and then left the vi to go to the Gambling Stone Field.


    Chu Ge also set up an array around the bar and the Gambling Stone Field. This array isn’t triggered by anyone breaking in; it requires manual activation if any danger arises.


    Lin Dong had to spend the entire day in the bar. Although Ming Chong was with him, it was a bit boring. Most of the time, Ming Chong yed by himself, but Lin Dong could take the opportunity to cultivate his martial arts.


    But today was different. Lin Dong proactively suggested that Ming Chong vent his frustrations on him, and Ming Chong definitely wouldn’t miss this chance.


    So throughout the day, eerie wailing sounds kepting from the end of the bar’s corridor.


    ...


    In a private vi.


    A few people sat together, their faces full of worry.


    "I didn’t expect this Chu Ge to really have some skills."


    Zhang Ze sat in the middle of the sofa, crossing his legs and looking at the speaker with narrowed eyes, a sneer in his heart, "Ha, how do you think those brothers who died before died? Chu Ge’s martial arts are unfathomable, and without tactics, he’s really hard to deal with."


    "So what should we do now? You’ve cracked his array, but he’ll definitely repair it quickly. Next time we go, it may not be so smooth."


    "Yeah, if we miss once, it’ll be harder next time. Now that they know our intentions, they’ll definitely be more vignt."


    Another person sighed lightly and shook his head slowly, "I also wonder if our cooperation with them is right."


    "Lao Wu, what do you mean by that?"


    "I always feel that this Gao Weijie doesn’t sincerely want to cooperate with us. Even though we have amon enemy, if we help him retrieve the Sword Soul and he helps us kill Chu Ge, haven’t you thought that maybe he can’t kill Chu Ge? And by helping him get the Sword Soul, we might lose many brothers!"


    Zhang Ze also fell silent. Gao Weijie had personally approached him for cooperation, and the offer he made was tempting. They genuinely wanted Chu Ge dead, but something they couldn’t aplish themselves, how could this guy do it?


    "I feel it’s unreliable. If necessary, we should cancel the cooperation and do it ourselves."


    "Thinking about it, I also feel that Lao Wu makes some sense. Zhang Ze, even you can’t beat Chu Ge, let alone Gao Weijie, who is not even your match. How can he fight Chu Ge? Wanting Chu Ge’s life, I’m afraid he might be killed by Chu Ge before he even tries."


    Zhang Ze sat silently in his seat. Gao Weijie indeed wasn’t his match, and he had tested this. But what shocked him was that Gao Weijie had an unknown force, dark and domineering. Though it showed no malice towards him during the test, he could tell that if Gao Weijie used it, he himself might not be Gao Weijie’s opponent.


    "We’ve already agreed, so we can’t go back on it. However, we can wait and see. Doesn’t he want to kill Chu Ge? We’ve already acted once, let’s leave the remaining time to Gao Weijie. If he manages to kill Chu Ge, our opportunities will greatly increase."


    "Zhang Ze, don’t you find it strange? If he could kill Chu Ge, why wouldn’t he go directly to Chu Ge to seize the Sword Soul?"


    "Yeah!" another person suddenly pped his forehead, "Lao Wu is right."


    Zhang Ze suddenly realized, yes, why didn’t he think of that?


    Suddenly, Zhang Ze realized something. He quickly held his breath and sat down cross-legged to start energy transmission.


    Sure enough, there was a trace of True Qi inside him that didn’t belong there, affecting his decisions over the past few days and causing him to lose his true judgment.


    Zhang Ze forced out this Evil Energy, and then a skeleton form of Zun Di appeared in front of them.


    "Who are you?"


    Zhang Ze asked coldly.


    The others were also startled, jumping up from the sofa, watching Zun Di vigntly.


    "What the hell are you?"


    Lao Wu shouted fiercely at the person who was neither human nor ghost in front of him.


    Zun Di’s hoarse voice sounded, he chuckled and said, "Zhang Ze, we just met not long ago, have you forgotten?"


    Zhang Ze looked confused, had they met?


    "Actually, the one who really negotiated with you that day was me, not Gao Weijie."


    Zun Di said softly.


    Zhang Ze was stunned, suddenly understanding, "You controlled Gao Weijie’s mind."


    "Ha-ha, indeed a genius boy, you get it as soon as it’s spoken. Rest assured, I’m not interested in your body, so I won’t control you. However, since our cooperation has started, there’s no room for backing out."


    "You just want us to be your shield."


    Lao Wu said fiercely.


    Zun Di’s heartyughter came again, heughed twice and nodded, "That’s right, I need guys like you to be my shield, but fortunately, you’re all fools, easily used by me."


    Hearing himself called a fool, Lao Wu was enraged, waving his sword and rushing forward to fight Zun Di.


    But now Zun Di’s form was a mass of ck mist, and Lao Wu’s charge only dispersed it.


    Shocked, Lao Wu watched the ck mist slowly gather again, cursing in his heart, what kind of ghost thing is this!


    Zun Di gazed at Lao Wu with a deep look, saying, "I can forgive your great disrespect just now, but if you do it again, the consequences will be dire."


    Lao Wu refused to believe it, pursing his lips and ring at Zun Di, "Hell no, today I’m going to kill you!"


    Lao Wu charged again, but this time, instead of dispersing, Zun Di’s form enveloped him.


    Just as Zhang Ze was trying to see what was happening, a miserable scream came from the air, and Lao Wu’s body seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving only the clothes he was wearing.


    "Your flesh and blood is old and stinky, really no taste."


    Zun Di said softly.


    Zhang Ze was utterly shocked, "Did you just... eat him?"


    Zun Di looked at Zhang Ze’s shocked face and gently shook his head, "No, no, no, that wasn’t eating, it was devouring, he was too stinky for me to swallow."
