Jiang Ning's brutally honest reply made all of them so angry that they started trembling.
"You...you're asking to be killed!”
"You are the ones asking to be killed,” said Jiang Ning. "Haven't you already realized that Mr Lang is just making use of all of you?"
"What do you mean?”
They exchanged glances when they saw that Jiang Ning didn't intend to fight them immediately. Then they turned back to stare at Jiang Ning. They had no idea what he meant by that.
"These people were hypnotized by Mr Lang. All of you knew that, right?”
Their faces paled.
They hadn't noticed it earlier, but then they remembered that Mr Lang did indeed have this sort of special power. If they hadn't been controlled by him, then who would have been willing to take the huge risk of coming inside here?
"They were doomed to die sooner or later, but all of you here still have a chance," said Jiang Ning calmly.
"What do you mean by that?" asked one of them. "If you're trying to sow discord, then forget it!"
"We're bent on finding the Longevity Pond, so anyone who blocks our way will have to die!"
All the men were prepared to fight.
"Gosh, all of you are already so old. Why are all of you still so hot tempered?" Jiang Ning laughed. "I'm sure Mr Lang has already told you that if I die, none of you will be able to locate the Longevity Pond."
"I'm the only one who can open this passageway. If you kill me, then you won't be able to find the pond."
"You..."
They were all too angry to even speak.
Didn't that mean there was nothing they could do about Jiang Ning?
Jiang Ning could kill them but they couldn't kill Jiang Ning. No matter how angry they were, killing Jiang Ning would be as good as killing themselves.
"Tell us what you want to do then. If you meant to kill us, I don't think you would waste so much time talking to us," said one of them as he stared at Jiang Ning.
He felt that this whole thing was problematic to begin with.
