C445 Active Minefield

The moment the Ice True Elder finished speaking, Nie Zhen's gaze immediately turned sharp. This Ice True Elder normally looked like a good person, but when it came to his own interests, he was worse than anyone else.

"Humph..." It is indeed an insightful situation. Unless you swear to it, it will mean that you are an ambitious wolf who is deliberately trying to cheat us! " Ignoring Nie Zhen's murderous gaze, Zeng Jue sneered.

Actually, there was something wrong with Zeng Jue's words. Whether Nie Zhen was lying or not, it had nothing to do with him swearing or not. In fact, there were a lot of cultivators with character who would not agree to a vow that others rashly requested.

However, Zeng Jue was making a big fuss out of this. The others were also suspicious of Nie Zhen, so they all stood on Zeng Jue's and Bing Zhen's side, implying that Nie Zhen needed to swear on his word.

Actually, in the end, it was to oppress others with power. Since Nie Zhen's group was weaker than theirs, they requested for Nie Zhen to give in again and again.

"You are going too far!" First, you framed me for picking the spiritual herbs, and now you want to force me to swear on Senior Brother Nie, could it be that without the presence of our sect's elders, you can bully us as you wish?! At most, we can just not use this Guhwa Medicinal Garden treasure! " Shui Yunshang said angrily. It was really irritating that these people kept taking advantage of her time and time again. Even with Shui Yunshang's personality, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Well said! At the worst, we can just leave it be. We can't stand such a temper! " Lu Dong also flung his hands and said angrily.

If the elders of the sect were also here, even Qian Yuan wouldn't force the disciples of the other sects like this. The reason why they talked back like this was all because the elders of Nie Zhen's sect weren't here.

"Hahaha!" Their wolfish ambitions had finally been revealed! Everyone, I suggest that you do not let them go. They obviously want to set a trap to trap us! " Zeng Jue laughed loudly.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly froze. It seemed like they were about to start a war if they didn't agree with each other.

Although Zeng Jue was known to everyone along the way, in this kind of environment, they couldn't help but listen to Zeng Jue's words.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, Nie Zhen suddenly laughed. He raised his hand to calm the three companions behind him before speaking to the sect members in front of him, "I say, why are you all so agitated? It's not like I'm unwilling to swear, why are you all in such a hurry? Or are you really so stupid that you would believe Zeng Jue's idiotic words? It can't be? "He really wants to eat me. Can you believe his slander?"

Nie Zhen's words not only expressed his confidence, but he also cursed Zeng Jue.

Only after being reminded by Nie Zhen did everyone remember that the enmity between Nie Zhen and Zeng Jue was deeper than the sea. Zeng Jue wanted nothing more than to hack Nie Zhen into a thousand pieces, which was why he spared no effort to incite others to work against Nie Zhen.

"Nie Zhen, cut the crap. Just tell me if you're willing to swear on it!" Li Jun frowned.

Nie Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "No!"

"Then aren't you feeling guilty after speaking for so long?! Everyone, take a look! " The veins on Zeng Jue's forehead were bulging, as if he was going to swallow Nie Zhen whole.

Most of the people present frowned. Nie Zhen was not willing to swear, so it was still suspicious. Only the Ice True Elder, seeing Nie Zhen's calm expression, opened his mouth and asked: "Nie Zhen, what is the meaning of this?"

The corner of Nie Zhen's mouth rose, and said: "I am unwilling to swear, not because I am afraid, but purely because I am unwilling. Everyone, think about it, I am a cultivator with a name, and my appearance today also represents my identity as a disciple of Duobao Sect, especially since I am now a disciple of Preparative Pill Sage, and not a nameless minion in the cultivation world. If I were to swear an oath made by the heavens and earth under your pressure, and news of this spreads, how could I come out?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that Nie Zhen's words could not be refuted.

Indeed, putting aside the fact that Nie Zhen had come out to represent the face of Duobao Sect, just because he himself was a Preparative Pill Sage, in a certain sense, his status was even higher than the Duobao Sect's chief elder. If he was pressured by others, he would obediently swear.

Nie Zhen saw that almost everyone agreed with what he said, so he laughed and said, "Since everyone feels that it's difficult to make an oath, then you should understand my difficulties, right? This is not like what some idiots would say, that it's because of a guilty conscience. "

Zeng Jue saw that Nie Zhen was mocking him again, so he said angrily, "Nie Zhen, no matter how glib your words are, they can't be changed …"

Who knew that before Zeng Jue could finish his words, they were stopped by the eyes of Bing Zhen and the others. After Bing Zhen stopped Zeng Jue, he said to Nie Zhen, "Young Fellow Taoist Nie, even if what you said is reasonable, but the situation now …"

Nie Zhen waved his hand and smiled at the Ice True Elder, "Rest assured, I have a solution since I said so. Although I don't want to swear, but I have a way to prove that my judgement is correct. Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh? I am willing to listen to the details! " If there really was such a way, he didn't want to offend Nie Zhen to the death.

Even Elder Qian Yuan and the others looked over at Nie Zhen's words. It was obvious that he was also interested in Nie Zhen's suggestion.

Nie Zhen smiled leisurely, "Actually, the method is very simple. As long as I am the vanguard, I will directly enter the lake and then come to the island in the middle of the lake. As long as I dare to test the waters, you all should not have any doubts, right?"

"Oh? There is actually such a method! " Someone said excitedly. Actually, this method is very simple, it's just that everyone agreed that Nie Zhen wasn't willing to be the first one to go.

All of a sudden, everyone's gaze towards Nie Zhen became kind. Since Nie Zhen was willing to take the initiative, it meant that Nie Zhen was telling the truth and he didn't lie to anyone else.

For a moment, many people felt that it was a bit embarrassing, even the rude and vigorous Nie Zhen revealed a smile: "Young Fellow Taoist Nie is indeed someone who does great things, I believe you understand us, in this Eternal Relic, we have to be careful at all times, this old man promises, as long as you are willing to be the vanguard, once we enter the Guhwa Medicinal Garden, this old man will definitely remember your contribution."1

The smile on Nie Zhen's face did not change, but he sneered in his heart. He had already heard these kinds of nonsense more than once, he already knew the faces of these people clearly.
