Chapter 300: Blood Curse
“Hmph! Since you are a senior, there’s no need to humiliate us like this. If you have any means, just use them!” The tall and thin Second Brother among the Five Friends of Mengshan suddenly shouted at Han Li, completely disregarding the fact that their lives were in Han Li’s hands.
This shocked the other three greatly! In their minds, Second Brother was always cautious and deliberate; he was certainly not someone to act so impulsively!
The young man of about thirty, who felt Han Li looked somewhat familiar, thought for a moment and suddenly shouted angrily at the tall man:
“Second Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to anger this senior so that he kills all of us in a rage?”
As soon as these words came out, not only the Black-Faced Elder and the young woman, but even Han Li was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the young man would say such a thing.
Second Brother’s face instantly turned pale, and he did not respond.
“Fourth Brother, are you crazy? How could Second Brother want us dead when he’s perfectly fine?” The young woman, hearing this, angrily defended the tall man.
She then turned back, seemingly about to say something to the Black-Faced Elder, but the face that met her eyes was extremely gloomy.
Immediately, her heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat at a loss.
“Second Brother, is it because Third Sister is still in their hands that you want us all dead so that she alone can survive?” the Black-Faced Elder asked coldly.
“Sorry, Big Brother, you should understand their methods. If any word leaks out, Third Sister in their hands will undoubtedly be tortured endlessly, living a fate worse than death. It’s better for her to have her soul scattered instantly!” The tall Second Brother finally showed a hint of shame as he spoke.
The young woman turned pale upon hearing this, her lips moving a few times but she said nothing.
“Hmph, even if Third Sister is your Dao partner, are you willing to exchange our three lives for just one of hers?” The young man in his thirties shouted at Second Brother in extreme anger.
“Second Brother, although Fourth Brother spoke harshly, he is not without reason! When the five of us swore brotherhood, we promised to live and die together. But now, for your own selfish desire, you want to deliberately doom us all. That’s simply unacceptable!” The Black-Faced Elder’s voice was filled with disappointment.
“That’s right. I do want to cause everyone’s death. But what choice do I have? Third Sister’s womb carries my own flesh and blood. I cannot let our Li family end here! Otherwise, living miserably is worse than dying; who would want to seek death willingly?”
The tall man’s face flushed red and then pale repeatedly as he was berated by the two others. Clenching his fists tightly, he shouted back.
These words immediately stunned the elder and the young man, their expressions revealing shock, and for a moment, they were at a loss for words.
The young woman’s mouth fell open, her face full of astonishment.
“Have you finished talking? If so, it’s my turn to speak!” Han Li, who had been watching coldly from the front, suddenly said in a chilling tone.
His voice startled the three, and they suddenly remembered that their true fate was in the hands of this foundation establishment stage cultivator.
Immediately, all their pent-up indignation vanished without a trace, and they looked at each other again.
“I don’t care if you all truly want to die or if this is just a show for me! I only want to know all the information about the mastermind behind this. Even if you must die, it has to be after you tell me the information. Do you still think life and death are your own to decide at this point?” Han Li’s words were cold and ruthless, causing the three men and one woman to change their expressions drastically.
“What do you want to know? We don’t know much. Besides, we have a restriction placed on us called the Blood Curse. We cannot reveal any important information to outsiders, or the restriction will activate immediately, causing our hearts to rupture and killing us,” the Black-Faced Elder gritted his teeth and spoke, seeming resigned.
