Chapter 1085 - 974: Exposed Backup Plan
"Everyone, I am Quan Douhe. I tell you, if you side with me, I will make sure you leave here alive!"Suddenly, the martial artist whose body was possessed spoke.
"Quan Douhe, that's not fair. Don't you know what benefits Senior Tang offered us? He let us take the treasures here, and you? You just let us leave alive? Your terms are too weak; I don't think any martial artist here would agree with you!"
Duan Gujin immediately replied.
"You believe the nonsense spouted by that Tang Qi scum? Haha, all the treasures in this Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace were stolen by him from other Dragon Slayer Heavenly Masters. He is greedy and lustful; there's no way he'd give away the things he's stolen! Anyone who believes in his character will end up very miserably!"
'Quan Douhe' laughed heartily.
The martial artists present could only touch their noses upon hearing Quan Douhe's words.
They also understood in their hearts that they were tricked into the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace by Tang Qi.
They also knew that Tang Qi, the Residual Soul, was cunning and ruthless, not a kind person at all.
Although Tang Qi had previously told them that he would give them a generous reward for helping him, everyone understood that he was just making random promises he had no intention of fulfilling.
"Everyone, don't listen to him. I will keep my promises!"
Tang Qi quickly retorted from the side.
"Tang Qi, if you say you'll keep your promises, then swear it by the heavens for everyone so they know you're not deceiving them!"
'Quan Douhe' sneered.
"I don't need to swear any oaths. Everyone, attack! Destroy him! If you don't destroy him immediately, your bodies will soon be taken over by him!"
Tang Qi shouted loudly.
Hearing Tang Qi's words, everyone frowned, looking at each other, with no one taking action.
These people were old foxes who have been training for many years. They understood well that neither Quan Douhe nor Tang Qi could be trusted.
They now faced the issue of choosing sides and were stuck in hesitation, not knowing whom to trust.
Although Tang Qi was unreliable, he hadn't possessed their bodies.
Realizing that Quan Douhe could easily possess their bodies made them feel that Quan Douhe was more dangerous, at least Tang Qi hadn't possessed anyone's body yet.
"Quan Douhe, then please restore the martial artist whose body you took over. As long as you restore him to his original form, we can discuss cooperation!"
Duan Gujin responded.
"You damn it!"
Without further ado, as Tang Qi heard Duan Gujin's response, countless Sword Qi rushed towards Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin swiftly dodged the Sword Qi unleashed by Tang Qi at extreme speed.
"Quan Douhe, look at me, being chased by Tang Qi now, and you won't even help me?"
Duan Gujin said.
The others were shocked to see Duan Gujin betray Tang Qi so quickly.
Previously, no one had stepped out to oppose Tang Qi.
So everyone felt they shouldn't openly betray Tang Qi.
But the situation was different now; Duan Gujin's public betrayal made many consider siding with Quan Douhe.
"Quan Douhe, please release the martial artist whose body you have occupied!"
Duan Gujin said earnestly.
"No way!"
However, 'Quan Douhe' refused.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately understood why Quan Douhe hadn't agreed yet.
When Quan Douhe possessed that martial artist's body, the martial artist's Divine Soul was likely destroyed by him.
With the martial artist's Divine Soul destroyed, Duan Gujin knew that even if he drove out Quan Douhe, the martial artist would become a walking corpse.
"This Quan Douhe is terrifying!"
Duan Gujin exhaled and said, "Everyone, don't cooperate with Quan Douhe. Once your body is occupied by him, there's no way to return! Senior Tang Qi, don't be angry. I was just testing Quan Douhe!"
Hearing this, Tang Qi nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I forgive you!"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the other martial artists knew what choice to make.
Some wanted to follow Duan Gujin and align with Quan Douhe too.
But the situation changed suddenly, and they realized Quan Douhe couldn't be relied upon, as they didn't want their bodies occupied and their Divine Souls destroyed.
Though Tang Qi was sinister, Quan Douhe was even more unreliable.
"Haha, Quan Douhe, you didn't expect you'd miscalculate, did you?"
Just then, Tang Qi laughed loudly.
"Tang Qi, we're evenly matched. Neither of us can say much about the other. Do you really think you can regain control of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace?"
Quan Douhe laughed heartily.
"I believe I can. I personally set up the mechanical array of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, and I believe I can regain control of it!"
Tang Qi replied confidently.
"Hehe!"
Quan Douhe sneered coldly, waving his right hand. Countless Sword Qi erupted from it, attacking Tang Qi's White Bone.
"Block him quickly!"
Tang Qi cried out in fear.
However, at this moment, Duan Gujin and others did not take action to save him. They stood by watching Quan Douhe and Tang Qi fight.
Duan Gujin secretly used the Mirror Image Divine Power to engrave the techniques of Tang Qi and Quan Douhe.
Seeing that no one else was helping him, Tang Qi panicked.
He hurriedly used the remaining Soul Power to block the Sword Qi directed at him by Quan Douhe.
Although he blocked Quan Douhe's Sword Qi, his 'body' was about to give way.
"Help me now! If you don't, you'll all surely die!"
Suddenly, everyone felt as if a thousand silver needles were piercing their Divine Souls, causing extreme pain.
Duan Gujin and others looked at Tang Qi with deep apprehension.
They initially thought Tang Qi was just a Residual Soul with weak strength.
Moreover, Duan Gujin checked his Divine Soul thoroughly before entering the palace and confirmed it was fine.
But now, as Tang Qi got angry, their Divine Souls felt like they were being pierced by a thousand silver needles, causing unbearable pain.
This abrupt change made them realize they had severely underestimated Tang Qi's ability.
"Who would've thought that Tang Qi left behind a contingency in my Divine Soul!"
Duan Gujin gasped, realizing that Tang Qi must truly be afraid now.
Otherwise, Tang Qi wouldn't have revealed his contingency inside the martial artists' Divine Souls at such a crucial moment.
