Chapter 5232: Living Towards Death

Early before arriving at Wushuang City, the old man in black robe had obtained information about the ancient gemstone by relying on his connections accumulated over many years in the Shell Organization.

Because of this, this task fell on him.

After all, the organization kept silent about the ancient gemstone.

This task was just set as an ordinary task to interfere with the city under the command of Wushuang Scholar.

This was to prevent someone from having any improper thoughts about the ancient gemstone.

Even so, they still failed to prevent the old man in black robe.

Because of his own qualifications and seniority, even if his cultivation level was only at the middle and lower level in the Shell Organization.

But with information far superior to others, the old man in black robe got this major opportunity that was related to his future life.

This is a powerful treasure that can affect time and space.

If the old man in black robe could master it in his hands and go back to the past in reverse time, he would be able to rise to the top with the large amount of information in his hands.

Now at his age, it has become a joke to seek any path forward.

But if time could be reversed and one could return to his youth, the result would certainly change.

Therefore, even if it was just a legendary treasure, the old man in black robe was willing to give it a try with his life like a candle in the wind.

"Sir, save me!"

The black-robed man was half-swallowed by the ancient jade at this time, but he was still shouting for help from the old man in black robe.

However, after the old man in black robe came to his senses, he just looked at him with a cold expression.

It was not until the black-robed man's body was completely swallowed by the ancient jade that he retracted his cold gaze.

After swallowing the black-robed man, the light emitted from the ancient jade was even more fascinating.

Just looking at it from a distance, it seemed as if you were going to get lost in it.

Seeing this, the old man in black robe resisted the desire to get closer, turned his head and glanced coldly at Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shuang.

"To be honest, I just had a little affection for you, a smart boy, but I have to send you to hell with my own hands."

"But don't worry, when I go back to the past, I will find you as soon as possible."

"I will definitely treat you well by then, and let you become the first person in the world below me!"

Zhang Yifeng's mouth twitched when he heard the voice. It seemed that the old man in black robe didn't intend to continue acting at this point.

He directly revealed his ambition in front of him.

Zhang Yifeng also knew that the old man in black robe said this, clearly not giving him a chance to choose.

At the same time, Zhang Yifeng would not believe a word of what he said.

After all, looking at his appearance, he must be another villain who only cares about himself.

Besides, they are all below him, so how could they be the first person in the world.

With a sneer in his heart, Zhang Yifeng pretended to be terrified on his face.

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't the goal of our trip to bring back the ancient jade?"

Even though Zhang Yifeng saw through the black-robed old man's intentions, he still looked like he didn't notice anything.

"Hmph, even if I bring this treasure back, can it bring back my lost youth?"

"What I desire is to reach the top of the world and become the true god who controls the heavens and the worlds!"

The black-robed old man sneered at the sound, and then raised his hands high and clenched them tightly, as if he had already grasped his power in his palms.

"Forget it, no matter how much I say, a small person like you won't understand."

"But it's not time for you to die yet, so I'll keep you for a while."

"That kid over there, you go first."

The black-robed old man sneered, but turned his head and looked at Lu Shuang.

Lu Shuang paused when he heard the sound, and an unpredictable murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yifeng noticed this and hurriedly sent a message to Lu Shuang, signaling him not to rush to attack.

Lu Shuang was stunned when he heard the voice, but he still followed Zhang Yifeng's words and did not attack the old man in black robe.

"What, didn't you hear it?"

The old man in black robe had a cold light in his eyes and squinted at Lu Shuang.

At the same time, he moved his palm slightly, and he was about to force Lu Shuang to go to the ancient gem.

Zhang Yifeng saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said to the old man in black robe: "Don't worry, sir, it is certainly our blessing to serve you."

"Go quickly!"

Zhang Yifeng turned around and said to Lu Shuang with a serious expression.

Although they can imitate the breath of the black-robed man, they can't imitate the secret spells of the shell organization.

Once the old man in black robe wants to force them to control them, they will find that there is no spell planted in their bodies at all.

By then, they will be exposed on the spot after all the hard work of disguising themselves.

Now they can only gamble and see if the ancient gem will swallow again.

If it doesn't, it's fine. Once it swallows again, Zhang Yifeng can only accept his fate.

Of course, he won't let Lu Shuang's life be in danger.

Just now, the old man in black robe was unwilling to rescue the man in black robe.

But this does not mean that he can't save people. From Zhang Yifeng's observation, it is not difficult to save people when the ancient gem swallows.

Lu Shuang looked into Zhang Yifeng's eyes for a moment, and a firm look gradually rose in his eyes.

It doesn't matter what Zhang Yifeng thinks. He also wants to try now. Can this ancient gem fulfill his long-cherished wish?

After thinking about it, Lu Shuang took a firm step and came to the ancient gem.

Seeing this, the old man in black robe immediately gave up the idea of ​​forcibly controlling Lu Shuang.

After all, he still needs to observe this ancient gem carefully. It would be best if Lu Shuang can cooperate actively.

Lu Shuang exhaled a breath of foul air, raised his hand, and slowly covered the ancient gem.

Instantly, the ancient gem emitted a suction force, trying to swallow Lu Shuang.

The mana in Lu Shuang's body sensed that the master was in danger, and it was about to react.

But Lu Shuang immediately stopped the mana and prohibited them from stopping the ancient gem from swallowing.

In this way, the ancient gem swallowed most of Lu Shuang's palm in a short moment.

And now the ancient gem has a much stronger swallowing power than before.

Obviously, after swallowing the black-robed man, the power of the ancient gem has also been enhanced.

The gem that was swallowing Lu Shuang at this time seemed to have discovered some delicious food, and the swallowing power was constantly increasing.

And this is because the ancient gem felt the powerful energy hidden in Lu Shuang's body.

"Good, good!"

Seeing that the light emitted by the ancient gem swallowed Lu Shuang, the old man in black couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Yifeng stood beside him, looking solemnly at Lu Shuang who was being devoured by the ancient jade.

At first, he was a little nervous, ready to interrupt the swallowing of the ancient jade.

But gradually, he found that Lu Shuang actually smiled.

In his eyes, there was a flash of excitement and expectation.

All these signs showed that the swallowing of the ancient jade did not seem to have any effect on Lu Shuang.
