Rerter's face was full of smugness, and his tone even carried a distinct threat.
He intended to warn Cheng Xiaofan that the Hidden Black Sect was highly pervasive and had maintained its existence in this land for so many years because of the powerful forces behind it.
Just like himself, Rerter, a well-known real estate developer in Fuzhou, had excellent relationships with various departments, making him someone not easily dealt with.
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter upon hearing this. "What you say seems to make sense, but I can gather you all in the desert and eliminate you one by one!"
Rerter chuckled, "Why should we listen to you and gather in the desert?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "I can awaken the monstrous beasts in the eighteen bronze coffins. Once they wake up, they will immediately appear in the desert to search for the gate to Earth's prehistoric oasis."
"I can indeed destroy you there!"
Rerter roared with laughter, "What you say is too naive. Once the monstrous beasts are awakened, do you think your abilities are enough to contend with our Hidden Black Sect?"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Believe it or not, you can try then!"
Rerter was slightly stunned and said, "From what you're saying, the Earth-elemental cultivation Golden Core of Ye Shisan has already fallen into your hands?"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and replied, "To awaken the monstrous beasts in the bronze coffins, you need the Golden Core of an Earth-elemental cultivator, but I don't."
"I have a Demonic Bone Blade that can directly awaken the monstrous beasts in the eighteen bronze coffins!"
In fact, after Madam Ella Ellis of Freeland took over the British Life Science Research Institute, she had sent Cheng Xiaofan a document.
In that document, she revealed this information to Cheng Xiaofan.
That is, the United Kingdom had been using all its technological power to explore the issue of human immortality.
Apart from the official channels, there was also a private organization that claimed to have discovered a gate to Earth's prehistoric oasis on Chinese soil.
Moreover, once one entered this oasis, they could find various gene codes for immortality through the plants within.
It was said that if not for an accidental war, humans and various plants in Earth's prehistoric era could have achieved immortality on Earth.
However!
There was no relevant information about what kind of private organization this was.
All that was known was that this highly secretive organization had appeared in China hundreds of years ago.
If Cheng Xiaofan had not come to this island of Fuzhou today, he would never have known that this private organization was actually the martial sect known as the Hidden Black Sect.
He would also not have imagined that as early as the Qing Dynasty, the founder of the Hidden Black Sect had buried eighteen bronze coffins at the bottom of the lake surrounding this island.
And inside these bronze coffins were the corpses of eighteen monstrous beasts.
To be more precise, those eighteen monstrous beasts were not dead, but were in a state of near death, waiting for a certain object to awaken them.
When Cheng Xiaofan discovered the runes on those bronze coffins, he sensed the vibration of the Demonic Bone Blade in space.
This was their mutual resonance.
As long as the Demonic Bone Blade appeared, it could awaken these eighteen monstrous beasts.
In front of Rerter, Cheng Xiaofan had no need to conceal anything and told him everything directly.
"Is what you're saying true?" Rerter's eyes widened excitedly upon hearing this.
Even his breathing became noticeably rapid.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "What I say is of course true!"
He casually took out two pills from his backpack and threw them to Rerter. "This is a type of pill I refined myself. If you take it, it can completely cure your hidden ailment."
"Of course, whether you can survive after reaching the desert depends on your own abilities!"
The implication was very clear.
Once in the desert, in order to seize the precious resources of the oasis, there would inevitably be a fierce battle between him and the Hidden Black Sect.
It would be either you live or I die.
In any case, as long as he, Cheng Xiaofan, could get out of the desert, none of them would be able to leave alive.
Rerter accepted the two pills and, without any hesitation, put them into his mouth and swallowed them.
He said, "Cheng Xiaofan, as long as you can awaken the monstrous beasts in the eighteen bronze coffins, I, Rerter, can guarantee that after your death, our Hidden Black Sect will erect a memorial tablet for you and worship you as an ancestor."
Cheng Xiaofan roared with laughter again and said, "Rerter, I can tell you with certainty that you will not have this opportunity."
"Because neither you nor anyone from your Hidden Black Sect will live to tell the tale."
He knew very well that no matter how powerful the Hidden Black Sect was, once those monstrous beasts awakened and appeared in the desert.
Those people would rush to the desert in droves, trying to enter the oasis and find the code for immortality from the plants.
At that time, he could deal with these villains at his leisure.
Rerter said, "Cheng Xiaofan, the greatest characteristic of you Chinese is your boasting. Who lives and who dies cannot be determined now."
"How about this, when can you awaken those monstrous beasts in the bronze coffins?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "I just checked the celestial phenomena. There's a sandstorm at 3:30 PM. To prevent the citizens in the city from panicking when they see the monstrous beasts, or even causing a stampede, I'll awaken the monstrous beasts when the sandstorm arrives!"
Rerter nodded and said, "Good. Before we enter the desert, we can still be considered friends. I'll treat you well at noon."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "If I can help your Hidden Black Sect awaken monstrous beasts that have been dormant for hundreds of years, then, as you said, I'm like your ancestor. You naturally have to treat me well."
Rerter said, "How about this, I'll arrange a few beautiful women for you. While you're still alive, you can enjoy yourself in time, lest you miss the opportunity and die with regrets!"
"Hahaha..."
Cheng Xiaofan patted Rerter's shoulder. "You should enjoy yourself in time, I don't need your concern!"
The two left the study.
Rerter immediately instructed the cook at home to go to the street to buy ingredients.
He then made several phone calls, inviting people to lunch.
Cheng Xiaofan could hear from the side that the people Rerter invited were all individuals with considerable status within the Hidden Black Sect.
After the phone calls ended.
In less than half an hour, they had all arrived.
These people, both men and women, were all dressed impeccably, some even with bodyguards, exuding an imposing aura.
Rerter pointed at Cheng Xiaofan and introduced him to them. "This young man, you may not have met him, but his name should be quite familiar to you."
"Everyone knows that You Xiaoren is my goddaughter. I recently sent her and a few subordinates to Zhuxi Village. Unexpectedly, she and her subordinates were killed by Cheng Xiaofan."
"And this young man is precisely Cheng Xiaofan from Zhuxi Village!"
