Chapter 6056: Xiao Fan Won Anyway

Seeing Shangguan Hongwu acting so high and mighty, Zhang Yiteng and the others were furious, yet they dared not say a word.

There was no other way.

They were currently living worse than pigs or dogs, and they worried that Shangguan Hongwu would deal with them, or even kill them.

Everyone was unsure whether what Xiao Fan said was true or false.

If it were true, dying now would mean dying in the outside world as well, which would be a huge problem.

"Shangguan Hongwu, can… can you save us and get us out of here!?" Kong Xiangyu said pitifully.

"Save you? Hehehe… I certainly can now." Shangguan Hongwu puffed out his chest and held his head high, speaking proudly: "I am now the Emperor's favorite, his most trusted confidant. Letting you out is just a matter of a single word."

On the side, Wu Tongtian, who had been hiding the entire time, let his expression darken.

In an instant, Shangguan Hongwu felt a chill down his spine.

Suddenly, Shangguan Hongwu realized something; Wu Tongtian was also nearby, so he couldn't be too arrogant.

"Then… what about Xiao Fan? What is his relationship with you now!?" Jin Xiangming asked curiously.

"Me and Xiao Fan? Hehehe… naturally, we are at odds." Shangguan Hongwu smiled faintly.

No one doubted this statement.

After all, everyone was a competitor; whoever obtained the Token of Immortal King Ting Yue would become a disciple of the Immortal King.

"Shangguan Hongwu, are you willing to help us!?" Zhao Tiangang asked.

Shangguan Hongwu paused for a moment, looked him over carefully, and only then recognized Zhao Tiangang.

"Zhao Tiangang, why are you in such a miserable state!?"

"I… I was the first one captured, so naturally, I am miserable." Zhao Tiangang was so ashamed he wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

"Hahahaha… I never expected this. The once unbridled Zhao Tiangang of the outside world has actually ended up in such a state!" Shangguan Hongwu laughed until his mouth couldn't close, feeling smug inside.

"Get to the point!" At this moment, Wu Tongtian's angry voice appeared in Shangguan Hongwu's ear.

Wu Tongtian was furious. This Shangguan Hongwu before him, other than having a bit of good luck, was simply useless.

Compared to Xiao Fan—no, compared to everyone—he was far too lacking.

Wu Tongtian knew Shangguan Hongwu's history clearly: begging all the way, and finally trembling his way to the Imperial City.

If it weren't for that, Shangguan Hongwu would have long been keeping company with these people like Zhao Tiangang.

Shangguan Hongwu was startled and gave a dry cough: "Uh… I came here because I have something to ask you."

"What is it!?"

"Brother Shangguan, go ahead! As long as we know, we will tell you everything! We just hope you can let us go!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Shangguan! You speak! What is it!?"

"…"

Everyone spoke up one after another, looking at Shangguan Hongwu with smiles.

"Cough… simple. Do you have any clues about the Token?" Shangguan Hongwu stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Tell me, and I will let you go."

"We don't!"

"If we knew where the Token was, wouldn't we have already gone there? Why would we end up in this state!?"

"Sigh… Brother Shangguan, Xiao Fan has been torturing us for a long time! It was for this very reason! We really don't know!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Shangguan! Please have mercy! Let us go! After we get out, I will owe you a huge favor!"

"…"

Everyone spoke up, looking at Shangguan Hongwu pitifully.

Shangguan Hongwu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

Everyone present was an old fox.

Shangguan Hongwu did not fully believe these people's words.

It was possible they possessed clues about the Token and were intentionally holding back, planning to go search for the Token the moment they left.

That's right.

Shangguan Hongwu was certain his intuition was correct.

"Hehehe… I don't believe you. If you don't tell me, don't even think about me letting you go." Shangguan Hongwu said indifferently with his hands behind his back.

"Shangguan Hongwu! You… are you doubting us!?"

"I'm not lying! We really don't know!"

"Shangguan Hongwu! I'm not deceiving you!"

"…"

Everyone spoke up angrily, glaring at Shangguan Hongwu.

"Hehehe… Believe you? How could I? This matter is of great importance. Which one of you here hasn't lived for at least a hundred thousand years? You are all old foxes; don't think you can make me believe you so easily." Shangguan Hongwu chuckled.

Regarding this, Wu Tongtian let out a sigh.

He also felt that Shangguan Hongwu's suspicions were correct.

Besides, letting these people go wouldn't benefit Shangguan Hongwu at all.

Wu Tongtian had come to help Shangguan Hongwu simply because he didn't like the look of Xiao Fan and hoped to see Xiao Fan defeated.

And in fact, no matter the outcome, Xiao Fan had already won.
