Jiang Yuezhao seemed as if he really saw it, pointing behind him at nothing at all, he said, "Right behind us, we ran so fast, we left those Buddha statues far behind."
Jin Chenmang said, "Jiang Yuezhao, where are the Buddha statues behind us? Is it your eyes that have a problem, or is it all of us?"
"There really are!"
"To be honest with you, earlier we encountered that group of Buddha statues, and in the end, all our Identity Creeds were taken by that guy."
Seeing that Jin Chenmang and the others didnât believe him, Jiang Yuezhao didnât care about face anymore and told them about his earlier encounter.
"Is it true? If it is, then why did you call us to deal with him together?"
Jin Chenmang looked skeptical.
Jiang Yuezhao said, "First, I wouldnât lie about something like this."
"Second, I originally thought that heap of Buddha statues had been shaken off by him, but it turns out they werenât."
Jin Chenmang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed.
Even if it was a lie, it wouldnât be to tarnish his own reputation to deceive.
To have all their Identity Creeds taken is not a glorious thing after all.
"So does this mean we indeed dodged a bullet?" Huang Qingmie said.
Although he didnât know how powerful that heap of Buddha statues was according to Jiang Yuezhao,
but since they could eventually make Jiang Yuezhao and the others hand over all their Identity Creeds, they were certainly not weak.
Jiang Yuezhao said, "Of course, luckily I reacted quickly, or else even if we wouldnât have been wiped out, there would have been heavy casualties."
"But thereâs obviously nothing behind us."
A person from Heavenly Poison Manor spoke up; he was a Telekinesis Master and had just swept his telekinesis around but found nothing unusual.
"How about... we go back and have a look?"
Huang Qingmie suggested.
Jiang Yuezhao immediately said, "Are you looking to die? We barely escaped, and you want us to walk right back into the lionâs den?"
Huang Qingmie thought for a moment and said, "Iâll go back and take a look myself, I just feel something isnât right."
Hearing Huang Qingmie questioning him, Jiang Yuezhao was a bit angry.
"Then go ahead, no oneâs stopping you, but if you get surrounded by Buddha statues, I wonât come to save you," Jiang Yuezhao said.
"Brother Huang, donât go."
A person from Heavenly Poison Manor advised.
Looking at Jiang Yuezhaoâs demeanor, it didnât seem like he was lying.
Huang Qingmie looked at the Telekinesis Master from Heavenly Poison Manor who spoke earlier, "Is there really nothing behind us?"
"Of course, itâs true." That person nodded.
Huang Qingmie said, "Iâll go back and have a look, you guys stay here."
Jiang Yuezhao said, "Let him go then."
As if Huang Qingmie was going to his death.
Huang Qingmie was naturally uncertain in his heart.
However, he had made up his mind, and there was no turning back.
Returning alone along the same path.
Along the way.
He was extremely cautious.
Afraid of encountering that heap of Buddha statues.
As it turned out.
Even after expending a great deal of energy to return to the place where they previously ran into Qin Chen, he found no trace of any so-called Buddha statues.
Where were the Buddha statues?
Huang Qingmieâs eyes narrowed.
He had observed the entire way and found no sign of Buddha statues.
If it were really as Jiang Yuezhao said, and a heap of Buddha statues were chasing them, they should have left some clues, right?
But in reality.
Not a trace!
What nonsense about Buddha statues chasing them!
It was simply them scaring themselves!
He remembered Jiang Yuezhaoâs confident, assured, and determined face.
In an instant.
A nameless fury burned in Huang Qingmieâs heart!
This guy, embarrassing himself would be one thing, but now heâs dragging everyone along to be embarrassed with him!
He returned quickly, filled with anger.
"Brother Huang."
Seeing Huang Qingmie return safely, the people from Heavenly Poison Manor let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yuezhao hadnât noticed Huang Qingmieâs ashen face and confidently said, "See, I was right, wasnât I?"
"Were you almost surrounded by that heap of Buddha statues, nearly unable to return?"
Huang Qingmie laughed out of anger.
He began to speak sarcastically.
"Right! You were absolutely right; I almost died at that heap of Buddha statues. It was my luck that I barely survived."
"We should really thank you, or else we wouldâve all been dead by now."
On hearing this.
Jin Chenmang and the others felt a sense of having narrowly escaped death.
A strong feeling of relief and gratitude rose in their hearts.
They had just escaped a near-death situation.
Jiang Yuezhao nodded nonchalantly and said, "No need to thank me, itâs what I should do. I just hope that in the future, when I speak, some people wonât be so skeptical."
"Everything was within my expectations."
He was still somewhat arrogant.
"Expectations my ass! You idiot! You made all of us look like fools running around with you!"
Huang Qingmie roared in anger.
Jiang Yuezhao was stunned.
Jin Chenmang and the others stared at Huang Qingmie in shock, what... what does this mean?
Huang Qingmie glared at Jiang Yuezhao, "Idiot! Fool! Useless!"
Every time he thought of Jiang Yuezhaoâs confident tone, he got angry!
Where did this guy get such strong confidence?
Jiang Yuezhao was also a bit angry, "Huang Qingmie, youâre going too far, arenât you? I saved your life, and now youâre talking about me like this?"
Huang Qingmie angrily retorted, "Save our lives, my ass! Go back and see if there are any damn Buddha statues! You fool, who the hell gave you your confidence? Huh?!"
Jiang Yuezhao was at a loss for words.
Jin Chenmang and the others finally understood.
Jin Chenmang asked Huang Qingmie, "What do you mean? Did you find nothing when you returned just now?"
Huang Qingmie, still fuming, and loudly said, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"
Jiang Yuezhaoâs face shifted slightly, he said, "Impossible! Last time, after he said those words, that heap of Buddha statues immediately came."
Jin Chenmang frowned, "Words? What words?"
Jiang Yuezhao said, "Just before we were besieged by Buddha statues, he said, âLetâs leave all of them here,â and at that time, I scoffed."
"But we got attacked afterward."
"He also said those words just now."
Jin Chenmangâs eyes widened in shock, "Jiang Yuezhao, are you telling me that because of a single phrase, you had us all running with you?!"
In all fairness, such a possibility did exist.
But it was only a possibility!
Jiang Yuezhaoâs earlier confidence didnât seem like a mere possibility; it was as if he was certain!
Even those from Soongluo Hall were bewildered looking at Jiang Yuezhao.
Seeing Jiang Yuezhao so confidently certain that the Buddha statues would pursue, they thought he had some basis.
Yet this is...
They were speechless!
What kind of situation is this!
"Iâm furious, that guy hasnât gone far, everyone move, letâs chase him back!" Huang Qingmie shouted.
