Chapter 405 - 405: Playing The Good Guy, Bad Guy Poly
They could only see a little bit of the black sky while looking up and had already walked for an unknown period of time.
At this place, they could no longer care about time as they had to focus on their surroundings to prevent themselves from being ambushed by magical beasts!
However, even so, it was still bottomless.
There seemed to be no end to these stairs.
It was despairing.
There were also people who began to retreat in the team!
In fact, some people even started to say, “Why don’t we go up? Who knows how long well have to walk like this!”
How many people had died along the way?
There was no hope!
Mu Qingqing’s face darkened as she tried to calm the troops down.
The number of people in the team decreased as time passed.
There was still no end to the staircase.
The hot-blooded words that stabilized the morale of the army slowly lost their effect…
Mu Fusheng looked around and said solemnly, “The situation is not looking good. If this continues, I’m afraid someone will really break away from the team and escape.”
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, “This kind of thing is inevitable. After all, this staircase is indeed a little strange. It’s very difficult for people with bad mental states to persist.”
Shi Sheng asked worriedly, “Is there no solution?”
Mu Fusheng thought for a moment and said, “There are only two ways.”
“First, speed up and reach the bottom quickly. Of course, this method can be directly abandoned.”
“And the second type is the Iron Blood Suppression!”
“Well make an example out of them since they’re afraid. Well use another method to scare them and spread their fear of the Demonic Abyss!” Ye Qiubai nodded.
This was a good idea. But who would do it?
Mu Fusheng?
Naturally, it was impossible.
He was the heir to the next emperor.
If he did such a thing, once he went out, it would probably cause people’s hearts to be unstable.
As the Emperor, if he could not even gather the hearts of the people, then what was the point?
Mu Qingqing?
Naturally, not either.
By the same logic, Mu Qingqing was the person in charge of the military.
As for Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng, they did not have such strength.
One had to know that there were also some Soul Divergence Realm experts and many Martial Monarch Realm experts!
With Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng’s current strength, they naturally couldn’t do this with so many people.
At this moment, Mu Fusheng looked at the golden-armored commander.
Then, he walked over and told him what had happened.
The golden-armored commander’s expression was solemn as he asked, “Your Highness, is this feasible?”
“I’m afraid it will cause them to counterattack for their lives if it is too ruthless.”
“If that’s the case, this operation will really end.”
Mu Fusheng shook his head. “That’s why I’ll have to trouble you.”
The golden-armored commander was slightly stunned.
Mu Fusheng continued to explain, “You need to be the black-faced one.”
“As for me, when 1 reach a certain level, I will stand out to stop you.”
Hearing this, the golden-armored commander understood.
However, the commander did not refuse. Instead, he smiled and said, “Your Highness, when the emperor first appointed you as the next successor of the emperor, 1 objected. 1 felt that your personality was not suitable for you to be the emperor and sit on the throne.”
“But now, it seems that 1 was wrong.”
Mu Fusheng patted the golden-armored commander’s shoulder and said, “It’s just a small matter. You’re also thinking for the empire. 1 understand.”
The golden-armored commander smiled and nodded. After that, he spoke in a solemn tone, “Your Highness, please take note. This subordinate will make a move immediately.”
The golden-armored commander was the imperial guard under the emperor, Mu Zhengting.
It could be said that he was not under anyone’s jurisdiction other than Mu Zhengting’s!
Therefore, the expressions and schemes of the others were useless to him.
This black-faced character was most suitable for the golden-armored commander.
At this moment, another Beginner Stage Soul Divergence Realm cultivator said with an ugly expression, “Your Highness, let’s retreat. If this continues, let’s not talk about whether we can reach the bottom.”
“Even if we make it, we’re already exhausted!”
On the stairs, there was no spiritual qi in the air. Everything could only rely on medicinal pills to recover spiritual qi.
If this continued, he would not be able to hold on for long.
Medicinal pills were limited after all.
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted the agreement of some people!
Mu Qingqing’s expression turned ugly.
The consequences would be unimaginable if they continued!
Just as Mu Qingqing was about to say something…
The golden-armored commander shouted angrily, “Shut up!”
“You want to go up? Sure, everyone who escapes from this place will be dealt with as deserters.”
“As for the consequences of deserting, I don’t think 1 need to say more, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people were stunned.
The Soul Divergence Realm expert’s expression was also unsightly. He said, “But continuing downwards in the current situation will only be courting death!”
“If we’ll die either way, why don’t we choose a more promising path?”
“Oh?”
The golden-armored commander raised his eyebrows and looked at the Soul Divergence Realm expert. He took a step forward and shook the spear in his hand!
A Spear Intent left the tip of the spear and pierced towards the Soul Divergence Realm expert!
The expression of this Soul Divergence Realm cultivator changed drastically.
He did not expect the golden-armored commander to attack so decisively!
Moreover, it was a killing move!
He immediately activated the defensive barrier!
However, how could he, who was only at Beginner Stage Soul Divergence Realm, be a match for the golden-armored commander who was half a step into the Dao Convergence Realm?
The barrier was instantly pierced by the sharp Spear Intent!
Then, it passed through the glabella of this Soul Divergence Realm cultivator!
A bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows.
The Soul Divergence Realm expert’s eyes widened.
However, his eyes gradually became lifeless.
Immediately after, his body fell uncontrollably down the stairs.
Falling into the endless abyss…
Everyone’s expressions were solemn as they watched this scene with ugly expressions.
The golden-armored commander held his spear. There was no emotion in his voice as he said coldly, “Who else wants to be a deserter? Try.”
At this moment, no one dared to make another sound.
The golden-armored commander was the strongest existence in the team.
No one was his match!
Facing this, those who had such thoughts could only lower their heads helplessly…
At this moment, Mu Fusheng also stood up and waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Our goal now is to hinder the evil clans outside the territory’s plans, not to kill each other here!”
“Even though it’s very difficult now, once we retreat and the evil races’ plan succeeds, what will happen to the Boundless World?”
“When the time comes, we will still not be able to escape death!”
Everyone was silent.
“However, if we succeed in stopping the evil races’ plan, not only will we be able to protect the Boundless World, I will also personally request generous rewards from the Emperor for you!”
The good guy, bad guy poly, it might be a little old-fashioned, but it still worked..
