Chapter 2377: This Is Too Coincidental

Everyone had finished drawing lots, leaving only Gan Deng who hadn't drawn yet. As for the last remaining slip of paper, there was no need to think about it; everyone knew it must be red!

That meant the saint-grade artifact would have to be provided by the Sacred Beast Realm!

Many Wanwu Realm experts breathed a sigh of relief. They were extremely fortunate; the decision to wait for the Sacred Beast Realm expert to arrive before drawing lots was truly wise!

Just look… what a wise decision it was.

As expected, the one who had to bring out the saint-grade artifact was the Sacred Beast Realm!

"I…" Xiao Fan looked helpless. Although he didn't care, wasn't this a bit too unlucky?

"Well… Gan Deng, things have turned out this way. Are you still going to draw?" The Witch God Clan Wanwu Realm expert asked with a faint smile on his face.

"Why wouldn't I draw!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and walked up to the wooden box, reaching out to draw a lot. The final result was exactly as everyone had expected.

The slip of paper Xiao Fan pulled out was red.

The slips of paper in everyone else's hands were white!

The force that had to provide the saint-grade artifact was the Sacred Beast Realm!

"Gan Deng, this… it's nothing. As long as we can eliminate Xiao Fan, a single saint-grade artifact is nothing," the Witch God Clan expert comforted him.

"That's right, Gan Deng. Think about your hatred for Xiao Fan. When we suppress him and stew him into meat soup, you can drink a few extra bowls!" the Ancient Barbarian Clan expert said with a laugh.

"…"

Xiao Fan remained expressionless. He didn't care about giving out a saint-grade artifact, but he definitely couldn't just hand it over like that!

Xiao Fan had to make a scene to make these Wanwu Realm experts uncomfortable as well.

"Everyone, I have a question I'd like to ask you…" Xiao Fan said coldly.

"Oh? Gan Deng, what question do you have? Feel free to ask!" the Witch God Clan expert said with a smile.

"Did you all set a trap for me? I arrived last, you made the plans, you proposed the drawing of lots, and in the end, my Sacred Beast Realm has to provide the saint-grade artifact. If this is a coincidence, I simply don't believe it." Xiao Fan said coldly, his gaze icy as he swept across the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. This Gan Deng was trying to welsh on the deal!

"Gan Deng, watch your words. We didn't play any tricks, nor is there any need to!" the Ancient Barbarian Clan Wanwu Realm expert said coldly.

"That's right… don't go making false accusations. You agreed to the decision to draw lots earlier. Are you trying to go back on your word now?!" the Weiyang Clan Wanwu Realm expert said.

"Gan Deng, we absolutely did not cheat. Please rest assured on that point!" the Ancient Barbarian Clan Wanwu Realm expert said.

"Heh heh heh… No cheating? Then why is it such a coincidence?" Xiao Fan said coldly. "My Sacred Beast Realm can bring out the saint-grade artifact, but don't you think it's unreasonable for things to be this coincidental?!"

In truth, these Wanwu Realm experts also felt it was unreasonable.

Gan Deng arrived, then they drew lots, and then this piece of bad luck fell on Gan Deng!

If someone said there was nothing fishy about it, they wouldn't believe it either!

But as it happened, they were truly innocent, because there really was nothing fishy about it…

"Gan Deng, believe it or not, we really didn't cheat," the Witch God Clan expert said in a deep voice. "Besides, you placed your own seal on it just now!"

"That's right. I can swear by my clan's Ancient Barbarian Clan emblem that there was absolutely no cheating!" the Ancient Barbarian Clan expert said.

"I admit that calling you over was indeed to share part of the risk, but I didn't expect you to actually draw it in the end… This is just luck, Gan Deng!" the Blood Clan Wanwu Realm expert said.

Xiao Fan's face was livid. He hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is indeed too coincidental… It's normal for me to be suspicious."

"We understand." Everyone nodded.

If they were standing in Gan Deng's shoes, they would definitely be suspicious too.

After all, everything was just too coincidental…

"Gan Deng, rest assured. Although the Sacred Beast Realm has to provide the saint-grade artifact, we will compensate you with resources. We will absolutely not let the Sacred Beast Realm suffer a loss!" the Witch God Clan Supreme Expert said.

"That's right, Gan Deng. Don't worry, we won't leave you unable to answer to your clan!"

"…"

"Alright then." Xiao Fan nodded expressionlessly. "In that case, I'll have to trouble everyone to give me the resources first… Once I take the resources back to the clan, I'll have something to answer to them with!"

"What do you all think?"

Xiao Fan looked around at everyone.

"This… Gan Deng, do you not trust us?" the Ancient Barbarian Clan Wanwu Realm expert asked.

"That's right, who would carry a large amount of resources when going out?!"

"Exactly, Gan Deng… You bring the saint-grade artifact first, and we will definitely give you the promised resources!"

"…"

These Wanwu Realm experts were certainly unwilling to give the resources first, and the specific amount of resources to be given had never been decided!

"Heh heh heh… Do you take me for a fool?" Xiao Fan said coldly, looking around. "If I hand over the saint-grade artifact and then you just toss me a few measly resources to send me away, where would I go to seek justice?"
