Peerless God of War

Chapter 2445: When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter

"Alas, this is all we can do now." Zheng Mingyang lamented in his heart, and even began to regret it a little.

At the beginning, he followed the two great sword immortals to leave Xiajian Island with high spirits and joined Wan Chengwu's forces. He was treated very well and thought that he could enjoy the glory for a while, but he didn't expect that the situation would reverse so quickly and take a sharp turn for the worse.

Now that Wan Chengwu's lineage has been defeated, they must also think about their own way out.

However, Xiajian Island has been completely closed now, and there is no way back. Where can they go next? Zheng Mingyang couldn't help but worry more and more in his heart.

At this moment, in this situation, not only him, but many people have similar ideas. Although these people are still standing behind Wan Chengwu on the surface, they are already in harmony with each other.

It's just that there is no good opportunity for the time being, so they didn't make trouble. Once things are really impossible, these people will definitely be the first to leave, and they may even turn against him.

Wan Chengwu's face was extremely gloomy, and his right fist was clenched. He was also very clear about the current situation. On the surface, it seemed that there were still many people on his side who supported him, but few of them were really willing to take action.

He knew these guys very well. They were selfish and would never be willing to suffer losses without benefits. They might even hold back at a critical moment.

"Wan Chengwu, is this your attitude?" Qin Daoyuan said coldly, and took another step forward.

A terrible sword energy lingered around him, flickering, and from time to time, he made a gentle humming sound, exuding a strong desire to fight.

The previous substitute battle was fierce and fierce, and it was extremely tragic. It also aroused the blood in his heart. He was a little itchy and couldn't wait to find someone to kill.

If Wan Chengwu was slightly dissatisfied with him, he would fight.

"Where is Wan Ling'er? Why didn't she come? Did she not dare to show up, or was she too guilty to come and face me?" Wan Chengwu did not answer directly, but asked.

"The island owner has her own place to go. She can go wherever she wants. As for you, it's such a small matter, so there is no need for her to come in person." Qin Daoyuan said.

Wan Chengwu was full of hatred, and his heart was full of anger. He was surging wildly. Not only did he lose, but he was also looked down upon by Wan Ling'er. How could he bear it, who always thought highly of himself.

"Bah, she is just a woman. With a little beauty, she was able to join the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. Now she dares to collude with outsiders and try to seize the Wan family business in Golden Island. I absolutely cannot tolerate such things." Wan Chengwu said angrily.

His words were very heavy. Just the word "beauty" made Qin Daoyuan's heart jump, his sword eyebrows stood up, and a nameless fire burned in his heart.

Although Wan Chengwu did not say it so bluntly, the meaning of this sentence is obvious, that is, he is blaming Wan Ling'er.

As for Wan Ling'er's private affairs, they happened four or five hundred years ago. At that time, Qin Daoyuan was far from being a follower of Wan Ling'er now, and he only knew a little bit. After Wan Ling'er ran away from the Golden Island, the Golden Island sent many men to search for Wan Ling'er all over the world.

At this time, Wan Ling'er was with a young pavilion master of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. In desperation, the Golden Island had to give up the search and block the news with all its strength, treating it as a major scandal of the Golden Island, until three hundred years later, Wan Ling'er suddenly rose like a comet and became a generation of pavilion masters.

The affairs of men and women are common and common. This matter has also been passed down as an anecdote and discussed by many people in private.

However, this situation has never happened again after Wan Ling'er became the pavilion master. No one dared to commit suicide and would discuss Wan Ling'er, the master of a pavilion, behind his back, unless he really didn't want to live.

At this moment, Wan Chengwu brought up this topic, full of sarcasm.

"Wan Chengwu, you are courting death, move your sword." Qin Daoyuan's eyes turned cold, and with a wave of his right hand, the Seven-Star Sword on his back flew out, wrapped in a sword aura like starlight, and smashed directly at Wan Chengwu.

Wan Chengwu humiliated Wan Ling'er in front of him, how could Qin Daoyuan bear this breath, so he took action directly, taking the opportunity to teach Wan Chengwu a lesson.

At the moment when Wan Chengwu made a move, the others behind him, led by Gu Li, also stepped forward one after another, with the weapons in their hands flashing with the brilliance of magic power, ready to fight, and the momentum was even more amazing.

If these people made a slight move, it would trigger a war in which several Jiexian strongmen participated, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"Whoever dares to make a move will be killed without mercy." Gu Li was glowing with golden light, like an unparalleled Vajra God of War, lying in the air.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Both sides were on the verge of a fight, full of terrible gunpowder smell, and the oppression was almost suffocating. It was very scary.

"This..."

"We,"

Suddenly, many helpers and guests of Wan Chengwu's lineage, including the two great swordsmen of Xiajian Island, hesitated and did not take action.

What's more, they retreated directly to avoid Gu Li's pressure. They didn't want to be the first bird to stand out at this time. It was too stupid. Even a fool knew that Wan Chengwu would be completely finished with such a posture.

"Come on, what are you standing there for? Don't forget how much benefit you have received. Now you want to stay out of it. Pah, a bunch of bastards, ungrateful wolves." Wan Chengzhi looked at this scene, his eyes red, his teeth clenched tightly, and roared in hatred.

However, even if he roared more, it was meaningless. No one came forward, and even retreated faster.

These people are all smart. When you are in power, they will cheer for you. Once you lose power and can't get any benefit from you, they will shrink and retreat immediately.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes it.

"Yes, we have received a lot of benefits, but the little benefits we have received are not worth our lives."

"That's right, at most we will return all the benefits we have received to you. What else do you want?" Someone said cunningly.

Wan Chengwu and his men were furious when they heard this. Their teeth were about to break. These bastards only took the benefits but were unwilling to contribute. They backed down at the critical moment. Now that they really needed to contribute, what was the point of getting those benefits back?

As expected, these people were unreliable. We still had to rely on our own talents. It was just that we had only realized this truth now, but it was too late and useless.
