Liu Laoguai spoke and directly took out a token and threw it to Chen Jie, "Take this token. It authorizes you to command Guild Cao on my behalf."
Hearing this, Yelu, not far away, had an incredibly ugly expression. Whether Liu Laoguai lives or dies isn’t my concern, but you can’t just appoint Chen Jiusi as your successor.
Fishing Guild combined with Guild Cao, what a terrifying behemoth that would be. West City and North City together, that’s almost enough power to take over Mianshui City. If this power consolidates, Mianshui County will have no force to contend against it.
Thinking this, Yelu took a step forward, wanting to stop Chen Jie. But at that moment, Ah San stepped in front of him and said, "Yelu, what are you doing?"
"I’m telling you, my brother Chen Jiusi is saying farewell to a friend. Don’t go there causing trouble, just watch from here."
Yelu looked at Ah San in surprise. What kind of magic does Chen Jiusi possess to turn Ah San, who has always looked down on him, into his friend? Is there no justice?
Ah San blocked Yelu from causing trouble.
Chen Jie looked at Liu Laoguai and said, "Old brother, let’s not talk about this. While your injury isn’t severe, let’s focus on finding a way to get you out. It’s not yet the end of the road, why speak of entrusting your legacy?"
Hearing this, Liu Laoguai’s expression turned resolute and said, "Jiusi, I can’t wait for the poison to spread throughout my body before dying. I don’t want to suffer like Qimu Ge did. I want to live, but not like that."
"Just think of Liu Yuetian, who has roamed Mianshui for more than twenty years, and has been Second Brother for twenty years. Today, I can die here at the Medicine King Treasure, buried in the belly of the Mirage. It wouldn’t be a disgrace to my heroic life."
"Jiusi, my son, I entrust him to you."
"Hahaha...you little Clam Demon, I won’t die by your hand!"
With his last strength, Liu Laoguai exerted all his Fiery Fire Palm power directly onto his Heavenly Spirit. Instantly his head burst open, and he died a gruesome death.
Seeing Liu Laoguai fallen on the ground, everyone couldn’t help but remark.
Liu Laoguai’s death was indeed heroic, upholding the name of the Mianshui Thirteen Grand Protectors.
Chen Jie looked at the fallen Liu Laoguai and sighed.
How should I describe my relationship with Liu Laoguai? At first, we were enemies, then we joined forces to resist Nan Batian’s schemes due to his deception.
During that process, we developed an understanding and calling each other friends wouldn’t have been too far off.
And now, just as we entered the Medicine King Treasure, to die here, it’s truly tragic and deplorable, and Chen Jie felt somewhat downhearted.
However, he quickly gathered his emotions, holding the token of Guild Cao in his hand. Not far away, Yelu’s gaze fixated on the token in Chen Jie’s possession.
Chen Jie did not dodge Yelu’s gaze as he was no longer afraid of Yelu.
Now his strength should surpass Yelu’s. As for official positions, although he didn’t have any, Commandery Princess Zhao Ya was his strong backing.
With strength and influence on his side, Chen Jie wasn’t afraid of a mere Yelu.
At this moment, Zhao Ya said, "Everyone check your wounds to see if there’s any problem. This clam poison is dangerous and not to be underestimated."
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze sharpened as they looked toward Zhao Ya.
However, they weren’t too worried as they hadn’t been injured or sprayed with blood on their wounds just now.
But to be safe, everyone still checked themselves and then set off on their journey.
The mood of the group wasn’t very high as they traveled, feeling a collective sense of loss as if mourning their own. Yet, this is what adventure entails: high rewards come with high risks.
At that moment, Ah San came up to Chen Jie and said, "How are you, all good?"
Chen Jie responded, "I’m fine, just feeling a bit melancholic. That Elder Liu was my friend."
Ah San replied, "Mmh, take care then. Being in Jianghu, it’s inevitable to lose some relatives and friends."
Chen Jie nodded and replied, "Mmh, I can cope."
Ah San said, "But this treasure is indeed too dangerous. I wonder who designed it, especially why that clamshell was alive, and that clam poison is indeed horrific."
Chen Jie did not answer, as he didn’t know either.
Ah San didn’t really expect Chen Jie to know; he was just venting.
The group continued forward, and after about another thirty minutes, they suddenly saw a large door in front of them.
They came up to the door, and Ah San, inquiringly, pushed it, and the door opened directly, revealing a miraculous sight in front of them.
It was a huge circular wall, which continued connecting with the cavern walls, not allowing entrance, but there was a corridor.
And at this one end of the corridor stood the eight large doors they had encountered earlier.
As Chen Jie looked up, he saw people also coming out from other cavern mouths.
