Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 889 - 817: Battle of Wits and Courage (Part 2)

Duan Gujin said with an emotional expression."Oh, is this true?"

Zhan Changsheng slightly nodded, contemplating that perhaps there was no need to fight and kill endlessly with Duan Gujin and the other three martial artists from different continents.

Even if he defeated them, it might only vent his anger, but in the end, he would not gain any substantial benefits.

"If I can resolve the grievances with them, maybe I can get the cultivation secret manual of Jiuzhou Continent or know how to reach Jiuzhou Continent!"

His eyes flashed, and he decided to abandon the grudges with the others.

He did this because he felt that he could gain more benefits from Duan Gujin and the other three martial artists from Jiuzhou Continent.

As long as these benefits were significant enough to make him let go of the previous unpleasantness with Duan Gujin and the others, he felt the transaction would be very worthwhile.

"So that's the case, let me first apologize for my subordinates! If you have any grievances, please tell me the truth!"

Zhan Changsheng said.

"Now?"

Duan Gujin suddenly became interested, his eyes flashing, pondering whether the other side was waiting for reinforcements.

"Is now inappropriate?"

Zhan Changsheng deliberately asked, pretending not to understand.

"Sect Leader, right now there are many Sea Demon Corpse Armies attacking everywhere, our urgent priority is to first eliminate or stop the crazy actions of those Sea Demon Corpse Armies, we mustn't let them slaughter civilians everywhere! We must first stop them from slaughtering civilians!"

Duan Gujin said seriously.

"Yes, you are completely right!"

Zhan Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately knew what to do next.

He had to present himself as very magnanimous to earn Duan Gujin's trust.

Once he earned their trust, he would do his utmost to extract more secrets of Jiuzhou Continent from them.

If these secrets proved immensely useful, he would temporarily spare the lives of Duan Gujin and the others.

But if these secrets were completely useless, or if those people were of no use to him, he would then execute Duan Gujin and the others.

In any case, several elders of the Taihuang Immortal Sect had died because of those three, and Zhan Changsheng naturally harbored a deep desire for revenge.

"Then in the Ziwei Divine Palace you killed many of our elders and disciples, so how do you explain that? I just need an explanation!"

Zhan Changsheng asked.

"Your elders and disciples were not directly killed by me, they were killed by the Ice Corpses sealed by the Ziwei Divine Sect Hierarch and his disciples, those Ice Corpses were very powerful, they changed their appearance into insects to survive! Your subordinates couldn't detect those insects and were finally killed by them! The deaths of your elders and subordinates truly have nothing to do with me! I was the last one standing at the final challenge of the Ziwei Divine Palace! My victory was not because of trickery, but because I knew the weaknesses of those Ice Corpses, while your elders and subordinates didn't know how to face them!"

Duan Gujin explained.

Hearing Duan Gujin's explanation, Zhan Changsheng's eyes flickered, his mind racing, analyzing if there were any mistakes in what Duan Gujin said.

But after thinking for a while, he felt there were no issues with Duan Gujin's words.

If Duan Gujin were a martial artist from Yuanzhen Continent, he couldn't possibly know more than the Taihuang Immortal Sect.

But since the other was from Jiuzhou Continent, it made complete sense for them to know the weaknesses of the Ice Corpses.

"Did you really not use any deceit?"

Zhan Changsheng tentatively asked.

"No, I really didn't use any deceit, do you think I passed the final challenge just by being a trickster? It's not that, I'm telling you, it's because I knew the characteristics of those Ice Corpses! At that time, your elders and disciples were too foolish, I intended to warn them, but they feared I'd seize the treasure from that challenge, so I had no choice but to withhold the weaknesses of those Ice Corpses. Therefore, they met a tragic end! I can assure you, your elders and disciples did not die by my hand, they died due to their arrogance and ignorance!"

Duan Gujin replied seriously.

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhan Changsheng inhaled sharply.

He hadn't witnessed the situation then himself.

Now, after analyzing what Duan Gujin had just said, he noticed that although Duan Gujin's account differed slightly from what his elders and disciples reported, comparing both, he thought Duan Gujin's account might be true.

"There's another possibility, could it be you knew how to counter the Ice Corpses but didn't want my elders and disciples to acquire the treasure from the final challenge, so you didn't inform them and intended to keep the treasure from Ziwei Divine Palace to yourself!"

Zhan Changsheng said seriously.

"Cough, cough, you can't blame me; it's your elders and disciples who were too much, they insisted I go and spy for information, clearly intending to send me to my death! Isn't it normal for me to resent them? If it's possible, I would confront your elders and disciples, don't think I really obtained much treasure from the Ziwei Divine Sect; I'm sure the Sect Leader has some understanding of the Ziwei Divine Sect's cultivation techniques!"

Duan Gujin said.
