Chapter 850: Luring the Enemy into the Trap

"You, what are you going to do?"

Kristina retreated three steps, staring warily at Ye Xiu, fear almost dripping from her eyes.

"I’m considering whether to kill you!" Ye Xiu hesitated.

Hearing this, Kristina’s hair stood on end, her heart leaping into her throat, and she said in panic:

"You can’t kill me, I, I, I still have value to you. You, you want revenge on the three Judicator Families, right? As long as I’m in your hands, at least the Golden Family will constantly send people to rescue me."

At this moment, Kristina was willing to do anything to stay alive, even offering herself as bait to draw the Golden Family for Ye Xiu to kill.

"Not a bad idea!"

Ye Xiu said:

"But if I kill you, the Golden Totem’s legacy ends here, and the Golden Family would be more furious. They might stop at nothing to kill me, which seems more effective than keeping you as bait, right?"

Kristina screamed in fright, her lips trembling:

"But what if, if, if, if, after you kill me, the Golden Family doesn’t seek revenge?"

This was one reason Ye Xiu hadn’t killed Kristina.

Killing her might bring the Golden Family’s wrath, which was good;

Killing her might scare the Golden Family into never coming out again, which would be troublesome!

"Okay, I’ll spare your life for now!" Ye Xiu said.

Whew!

Kristina let out a massive sigh of relief, her whole body turning limp.

"I’ll tell you a secret; actually, I realized yesterday that Stephanie was acting. She wanted to protect you through a mother-son fallout, letting you infiltrate my side. If you had purely helped me gather the Martial Artists on Nameless Island, I would have pretended not to know, but you idiot exposed yourself." Ye Xiu said with a laugh.

Kristina felt her intelligence was insulted, but it was indeed her foolishness that led to the demise of the Martial Artists on Nameless Island.

She pursed her lips, nearly crying from her stupidity!

"Go help move the bodies!"

Ye Xiu said as he saw Mo Luo and others driving the trucks over.

"Oh, oh!"

Kristina hurried off to move the bodies.

...

Just then, five large trucks drove into the temple where the Library Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion were located.

Entering the temple, the people saw many corpses along the way, all slain by Ye Xiu yesterday.

"It’s bad; it seems Ye Xiu has already been here."

The middle-aged man in the passenger seat, leading the group, said in a deep voice.

He was Stephanie’s cousin, Pris!

"Don’t worry, Lord Pris, him being here means nothing. Could Ye Xiu alone take everything from the Library Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion? He probably can’t even break the formations there." The driver comforted.

Pris thought so too and took the walkie-talkie, commanding:

"The two cars behind, go directly to the Treasure Pavilion. Once we load all the books, we’ll meet you at the Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

So, the five trucks split into two routes: three went to the Library Pavilion, and two went to the Treasure Pavilion.

They were on familiar ground!

It’s not that Pris and the others were familiar with the temple; it was actually their first time there. Before coming, Stephanie had shown them a map of the Nameless Island and the temple.

Very soon!

The three trucks led by Pris stopped in front of the square near the Library Pavilion.

Four people got out of the trucks, Pris and three drivers.

"It’s the Sword God’s corpse."

Seeing the corpse in front of the Library Pavilion, a driver exclaimed.

Pris frowned: "Being able to kill the Sword God, Ye Xiu’s strength is formidable. Hurry and get the books in the Library Pavilion onto the truck. If Ye Xiu discovers us, we’ll all die!"

He rushed to the Library Pavilion door, following the method taught by Stephanie, trying to open the formation to enter.

However, after trying the method, the formation around the Library Pavilion didn’t react at all.

"What’s going on?"

Pris was completely baffled, trying again, more confused, muttering:

"Did Stephanie teach me the wrong method, or did I learn it wrong?"

He tried again, but it still didn’t work!

The driver beside him said, "Why don’t we go to the Treasure Pavilion first instead of wasting time here."

Pris nodded: "Let’s go!"

So, the four of them immediately turned around, planning to run to the Treasure Pavilion, not using the trucks, as they had to come back, and they could run faster than the trucks!

However!

Bang!

After running dozens of meters, Pris slammed into an invisible wall, leaving his head buzzing.

The three drivers suffered the same fate, dizzy from hitting the invisible wall.

"What’s going on?" Pris panicked.

One driver touched the invisible wall ahead, looking grim:

"It’s a formation; Ye Xiu set up a formation around the Library Pavilion allowing entry but not exit. We can’t get out."

Pris: "..."

The other two drivers: "..."

They instantly panicked like ants on a hot pan.

Ye Xiu had obviously anticipated the three Judicator Families would send people to empty the Library Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion.

Ye Xiu set up this formation to trap them!

If they didn’t quickly break the formation and leave, the consequences would be unimaginable once Ye Xiu arrived.

...

Once all the bodies were loaded onto the truck.

Ye Xiu led everyone majestically to the temple, instructing them to gather the bodies inside the temple too.

These were all War Gods of the Fifth Realm and above, with 27 from the Seventh Realm and one Eighth Realm Sword God.

The four large trucks arrived at the Library Pavilion.

"Oh, someone got here before us!" Ye Xiu laughed.

The Sword Fanatic and others looked at each other; in front of them was an open square and the Library Pavilion, with no one in sight.

But when the trucks moved a few meters forward.

The Sword Fanatic and others saw Pris and three drivers frantically attacking thin air.

"Kristina?"

Pris recognized Kristina.

It was his first time meeting her, but he had seen a photo of Kristina.

He was immediately overjoyed:

"Kristina, I’m your mother Stephanie’s cousin. Are you here to transport the books too?"

Kristina pointed expressionlessly to Ye Xiu who got out of the truck, saying:

"This is Ye Xiu!"

Bang!

The expressions of Pris and the three drivers instantly looked as if they’d been struck by lightning, their faces turning extremely grim."

"Load up the truck!"

Ye Xiu waved his hand, releasing the formation around the Library Pavilion, then looked at Pris, asking:

"Do you want to die or live?"

Pris squinted his eyes, asking:

"Would you spare me?"

"Tell me where the Underground City is, and I’ll spare your worthless life!" Ye Xiu said coldly.
