Chapter 249 249. They are greedy, but they are also very afraid of death
In fact, Taoist Master Fuyun had already laid a lot of groundwork for Lin Cai's words. She said, "If we find a noble person and he is willing to help," she would take everyone down.
Although she didn't say what would happen if she didn't find the benefactor, everyone knew it in their hearts, but they just didn't want to admit it.
But now Lin Cai clearly told them that he had not found the noble man, so even if they wanted to play dumb, they couldn't do it anymore.
Because what Taoist Fuyun meant was that Xuanfang Sect was not going to take them down because they hadn't found the noble person.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but start to blame the unknown benefactor in their hearts. They didn't know why the other party didn't show up. If he/she showed up, they could go down.
It also saves everyone from the awkward situation where they are all staring at each other.
However, everyone was also very clear that their complaints were inexplicable. After all, they didn't even know what kind of person the other party was, nor did they know if the other party would come or when he would come...
Some people even think that if everything Taoist Fuyun said is true, then according to the original plan, the ruins below should not appear at this time, but they suddenly appear now. There must be something wrong.
So will this problem affect their exploration of the ruins?
At this time, some people were already losing their patience.
"So now that we haven't found that noble person, is it possible for us to explore this ruins?"
Everyone's eyes were on the person who was speaking, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He glared at everyone present and shouted, "Why are you all looking at me? Don't think I don't know. In fact, you also want to go down and see, but you are just a bunch of face-conscious, greedy, and cowardly guys!"
"Hey! What are you talking about!"
Soon, some people lost their patience and subconsciously spoke out to refute.
In fact, everyone knew that what he said was right. They all wanted to go down and take a look. Although they were also afraid of danger, everyone had the same idea - with so many people there, nothing would happen.
And even if something happens, there are so many people in front to support it. Even if something happens to others, it may not be the same for you.
"Okay, now that things have come to this point, this ruins does not belong to the Xuanfang Sect. We just want to take everyone to explore, but now that an accident has occurred, we will definitely not take everyone on an adventure."
Lin Cai supported Taoist Master Fuyun, looked up at everyone in the audience, and then his eyes fell on one place. He paused for a few seconds and then continued, "Let's put this aside. The result of our Xuanfang Sect's divination is that if there is no noble person on this trip, something bad will definitely happen. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business."
"But I must explain again that this ruin is extremely dangerous. The reason why we were late just now is because Taoist Fuyun was just sealing the cave entrance. Now all the exposed cave entrances on this mountain have been sealed. The things inside cannot come out for the time being. Someone will be here to deal with it later."
"Now you are all completely free to leave or stay. If you don't want to leave, you can go back to Wanling Villa to rest. The Metaphysics Exchange Conference will not continue, but everyone can stay in Wanling Villa for two more days before leaving."
"Let me be frank. Although the cave entrance is sealed, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. If anyone wants to go in, no one will stop them. After all, it is their own life that is their responsibility. If something happens down there, don't blame us in the Xuanfang Sect for not warning you."
Having said that, Lin Cai was about to support Taoist Fuyun and leave with the Xuanfang Sect’s group.
When everyone saw them leaving, they suddenly panicked.
"Hey! Taoist Master Fuyun! Don't leave yet! What will we do if you leave?" "Yes! You invited us here. Now you are leaving. What's the point of abandoning us?"
"Is this how you, the Xuan Fang Sect, treat guests? If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to participate in this stupid metaphysics exchange conference!"
Even people who are not from Xuan Fang Sect would frown after hearing these words, not to mention the disciples of Xuan Fang Sect.
Immediately, several disciples turned around and shouted angrily, "Our uncle has already said so much, don't you understand?"
"Whether we leave Xuan Fang Sect or not, what does it have to do with you? What you want to do is your business, and it has nothing to do with us Xuan Fang Sect!"
"If you look down on the Metaphysics Exchange Conference, then don't come to participate. Our Xuanfang Sect holds the Metaphysics Exchange Conference at our own expense every three years, and we also take out treasures from our inventory just to make progress together with everyone, exchange and learn. Is this how you look at our Xuanfang Sect? You are really a bunch of ignorant idiots!"
"Not only are they idiots, but they are also a bunch of ungrateful wolves with black hearts and rotten lungs!"
"Bah, we are leaving today! If you want to leave, leave. If you are greedy for money and not afraid of death, stay. I will remember what you said! If you have the guts, don't come to participate in the Metaphysics Exchange Conference in the future. If you go back on your words, you will be struck by lightning!"
Everyone: "..."
Hearing these Xuanfang Sect disciples cursing, everyone was shocked.
They never imagined that the quality of Xuanfang Sect's disciples would be so low!
Moreover, Taoist Master Fuyun did not even refute, which was equivalent to allowing his own disciple to slap everyone in the face!
Some people wanted to refute, but they couldn't because they were not in the right, so everyone could only watch Taoist Fuyun and his group leave.
After they walked away, these people tilted their heads to look at the holes in the ground. They wanted to go down but didn't dare to, and wanted to leave but didn't want to.
"Since Xuanfang Sect, as the organizer, has said so, then my Baihe Sect will take the lead."
With the Baihe Sect, one of the four major sects, leaving first, the other three sects also left one after another.
The four major sects plus the Xuanfang Sect actually accounted for about one-third of all the participants in the Metaphysics Exchange Conference. Now that one-third of the people left, the place instantly became a little deserted.
Of course, there are still quite a few people here, so it’s impossible to be really deserted, but the atmosphere is indeed very weird.
After a while, everyone dispersed.
Although they dispersed, no one chose to leave the mountain, and they all returned to Wanling Villa in the end.
I don’t know if it was because of the problem with the seal, but for the next two days everyone was conducting metaphysical exchanges safely in Wanling Villa. There were no more earthquakes, and no more chaotic phenomena occurred at the cave entrance outside.
Until the seventh day of the Metaphysics Exchange Conference, no accidents occurred, which made everyone feel relieved, but also began to feel restless.
However, as long as they think that even Xuanfang Sect and the four major sects have a completely non-covetous attitude, they, who only know some trivial tricks, will have absolutely no room for resistance when facing real danger.
They are greedy, but also very afraid of death.
