Chapter 1745 Change of Mind

The mercenaries charged at Ruan Yu with bared teeth and claws.

Ruan Yu simply shook her head, vanished in a flash, and left without engaging in any conflict with him.

These people will not be grateful to her until they have personally experienced the moment of death.

"What about people?"

"Damn it, she got away!" The mercenaries were furious when they found nothing.

"It's been so many days, and apart from the increasing number of people coming to plunder treasures every day, nothing else has happened on Beast Mountain! That little girl is definitely exaggerating!"

"It's a pity she got away, otherwise I would have given her a good beating and seen if she would dare to talk nonsense again!"

"Alright, since they've run away, let's not talk about it anymore!" the mercenary captain interrupted impatiently.

"Captain, what should we do next? Should we go back and take on a new mission, or...?"

The mercenary captain shook his head: "We can't go back. A great treasure has appeared. Even if we can't get the treasure itself, we can still get a share. Don't forget, when the great treasure appears, many other rare and precious treasures also descend upon the world!"

They could easily pick up a few things and that would be enough for them to live on for a lifetime!

The mercenaries' eyes lit up.

Little did they know, they had no chance of surviving!

I spent two days in the mountains.

As night approached.

An unusual noise came from the mountaintop.

Ruan Yu emerged from the spatial dimension and mingled with the crowd that had come to seize the treasure.

"Is the great treasure about to appear? It was worth waiting here for half a month!"

"Look what that is!"

A beam of light shot straight up from the mountaintop into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire Beast Mountain Forest. One second it was pitch black, requiring flames and luminous pearls for light, and the next second, everyone's eyes were so stimulated by the light that they could barely open them.

"Judging from this commotion, the treasure's grade is definitely above the divine level!"

"Hahaha, the treasure is mine!" As the light dimmed slightly, several experts with god-level cultivation rushed forward without hesitation.

However, the mountaintop had already been occupied by several major forces.

When faced with an intruder, there's only one word—kill!

Several experts had just reached the mountaintop, and before they could even assess the situation, they were all killed with a single sword strike.

Their heads were held up by divine power and hung in mid-air.

He then threatened, "Those who know what's good for them, leave now, or you'll end up like them!"

Seeing the bloodied heads floating in the sky, many people were terrified: "Even god-level experts would die if they went up there, let alone us small fry!"

"It seems I'm destined to miss out on this treasure. Let's go back."

"I'm not going back. I'll just wait in the mountains! Maybe I'll find something I can pick up?"

"These damn powerful forces! Why are they so domineering? This treasure doesn't belong to them! Everyone has a share! The capable get it! Anyone want to team up with me and steal this treasure?"

Apart from the few powerful figures at the summit, the rest of the people formed three groups.

Some left to save their lives, while others took a chance, thinking themselves lucky.

Another group formed cliques, solely to seize the precious treasure!

Ruan Yu then secretly arrived at the mountaintop.

With the power of the Dark God enveloping her, no one present could detect her presence.

"These ignorant rogue cultivators and good-for-nothings! They dare to gang up on us and try to snatch our treasure! Hahaha, they don't even know if they have the ability!" The commotion from the mountains reached the ears of the people on the mountaintop.

Everyone laughed and cried.

“I’ve checked. The highest cultivation level is only at the fourth level of the God rank, there are a few at the low level of the God rank, and the rest are all below the God rank.”

"I could wipe out a team like that all by myself!"

"Who says otherwise? Hahahaha, overestimating themselves! If they dare to come up, we'll kill them all!"

Ruan Yu scanned the clothing of the three major forces one by one, but she didn't recognize any of them.

Great, since we don't know anyone here, we can proceed with confidence.

"But why hasn't this treasure appeared yet? It's been half an hour since we made such a commotion." They had been circling the mountain for days without any results, and their impatience was understandable.

"Let's wait a little longer. Perhaps it's a divine artifact of earth-shattering power?"

I don't know who said that.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up: "I also think it's very likely to be a super artifact!"

The appearance of ordinary innate divine artifacts doesn't usually cause such a commotion!

Ruan Yu added fuel to the fire, "When the treasure appears, how are we going to divide it? We can't just split the super artifact into three parts and each take one back, can we?"

The anticipated dogfight between the three factions did not materialize.

The scene fell silent.

"Who said that?" A burly man in red, with exposed muscular arms, came looking for the voice.

His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he scanned each person nearby: "Looks like some small fry from the mountains have infiltrated!"

"We agreed before we came that we would work together to seize the treasure, and then let the treasure choose its own master. No matter who the treasure chooses, no one is allowed to have any objections!"

Therefore, Ruan Yu's words just now were clearly meant to provoke trouble!

"Who said that just now?!"

The muscular man in red picked out a few people who were most likely to say those words and paced back and forth in front of them: "Confess now, and you can avoid death!"

No one responded.

Because that's not what they said at all.

Several women trembled with fear: "It wasn't me..."

"It's not me either; the voice doesn't sound like any of ours at all!"

The muscular man in red suddenly grabbed the person who spoke by the neck, "What if you deliberately changed your voice!"

"Nobody admits it?" He raised an eyebrow and increased the pressure in his hand.

The woman's face quickly turned a deep purplish-red as she weakly pleaded for help, trying to slap the man's hand away.

"Crack!" A sound of bone breaking rang out.

The muscular man in red coldly tossed aside the lifeless woman, saying, "To prevent trouble from the villains, I have no choice but to kill you all!"

"No!" The remaining women tried to run away.

But there was simply no such opportunity.

The moment they took a step, the red-clad muscular man's divine power materialized into his hands, tearing their bodies in two!

Such a bloody scene left even Ruan Yu speechless.

But the people from the three major forces present looked relaxed: "We've finally eliminated the hidden danger."

"Yeah, it's a good thing she was exposed early, otherwise if she had attacked us when the treasure appeared, we wouldn't have been able to dodge!"

“They are heretical cultivators,” a male voice transmitted to Ruan Yu.

"?!" Ruan Yu was genuinely startled. She looked around, trying to find the man.

"Unless I show myself, you won't be able to find me."

“It’s you.” Ruan Yu recognized the man.

I never expected to meet him here. It seems that the precious treasure that is about to be born is quite tempting to him.

"What? You've changed your mind and want to acknowledge me as your master?"
