Chapter 172.2 The Righteous and Benevolent Wang Ke (2/2)
"Okay, okay. Stop talking nonsense and get moving. Come, here are your smoke pots, filled with my essence Qi. If you start feeling different, put it next to your nose and take a whiff!" Wang Ke passed the pots to the other two.
The other two: "……………..!"
To hell with the smoke pot! What have I done wrong! Why must I be treated this way!
And so, Zhang Zhengdao and the Snake King were helplessly dragged down by Wang Ke. They walked out of the building from the main hall.
The bloody mist hit them right then; Zhang Zhengdao and the Snake King were about to lose it again. The former did as recommended, immediately putting the smoke pot by his nose, while the latter placed the pot into his mouth and sampled a bit of its content.
"Blarrgh!" "Blarrgh!"
And so, man and snake vomited intensely.
Wang Ke was already immune to all venoms and poisons; he was unaffected by the array.
"Snake King, you will be our mount. Let’s charge into the crowd. Over there! There are more people over there!" Wang Ke urged.
The Snake King could only bear his frustration and carry the two humans.
"Die!"
Eight cultivators were trying to kill each other, but changed targets upon seeing that Wang Ke and the others were approaching.
Wang Ke flicked his fingers, "Mini-Rasenshuriken!"
Eight balls of essence Qi swiftly entered the cultivators’ nostrils.
"Blarrgghh~~~~~~!"
The eight of them started vomiting and fell to the ground.
"Carry them up! Carry them up!" Wang Ke urged.
And so, Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao loaded them onto the Snake’s body and carried them back to God Wang Tower’s main hall.
"Wang Ke, these aren’t the people we’re looking for!" Zhang Zhengdao said anxiously.
"Damn it. We rescued the wrong guys?" Wang Ke felt frustrated.
"What do we do now?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.
"What else can we do? We’ve already rescued them. Carry them all the way to a place above the twenty-fifth floor, this will probably wake them up. The Snake King and I will continue looking for the rest!" Wang Ke urged.
"Ah? But…!" Zhang Zhengdao was worried.
"Come, let me give you a few more smoke pots. You’ll need to make many up and down trips; take them, just in case you don’t have enough!" Wang Ke reassured the other.
"Damn. How many more times must I smell this?" Zhang Zhengdao complained.
However, Wang Ke and the Snake King had already gone out to rescue the others. And so, Zhang Zhengdao could do nothing else but carry the rescued cultivators up the stairs, all the way until they were above the twenty-fifth floor. Suddenly, the bewitching and bloody mist disappeared, and the cultivators began waking up once after another.
"Blargh! Where am I? Blarrgh!" a righteous disciple asked in shock.
"Blarrgh! What happened to me just now? Was I saved?" a demonic disciple asked in shock, too. And then they saw Zhang Zhengdao next to them.
"You guys have some rest here. Please don’t start a fight; Wang Ke struggled to rescue you guys from down there!" Zhang Zhengdao said.
"What? Blarrgh!" The group of people vomited amidst the confusion. However, Zhang Zhengdao was already rushing downstairs. Once he reached the ground floor, Wang Ke and the Snake King were already back after saving another group of people. The rescued cultivators were vomiting as Wang Ke placed them in the main hall.
"What are you looking at? Quick, take them higher up! Damn, we saved the wrong guys again!" Wang Ke shouted in frustration.
"Blarrgh, Wang Ke, I can’t go on like this! It’s too damn smelly!" Zhang Zhengdao objected angrily.
"Isn’t this all your fault? Get on with it already! Speak more, and I will strip off your managerial position! Look! The Snake King hasn’t even complained once!" Wang Ke raged.
"Blarrgh!" Vomiting was the only thing the Snake King could do at that point in time; he didn’t even have a chance to speak. You haven’t even given me a chance to complain!
Zhang Zhengdao had no choice but to carry the second group of people upstairs.
Once the new batch was carried to the higher floors, Zhang Zhengdao realized that the first batch of people was feeling much better. It was just that they were all badly injured and extremely weak, but none of them were fighting. The righteous and the demonic disciples were set on two sides with a clear boundary in between, healing themselves while staying vigilant.
"Someone, come and help me. Wang Ke rescued so many people, I need to go down and carry them up!" Zhang Zhengdao urged for help.
"Coming!" Those who woke up first quickly moved to help in receiving the cultivators of their own factions.
Someone from the second batch regained consciousness and asked in a daze, "What… happened to us?"
"We almost died. Brother Wang risked his life to save us!" a person from the first batch explained.
"What?"
"All of this happened because of the Second Parlor Lord, Se Yutian. He set up a forbidden spell array, the Blood Nourishing Dragon Array. He wanted to kill us all! I wanted to rescue you, but I was also affected by the array. We must really thank Brother Wang!"
"Yeah, Brother Wang’s tower is taller than any other building. We only managed to wake up once we were above the twenty-fifth floor, which is outside of the array’s influence. I really was an *sshole for following Branch Lord Wen to cause trouble when Brother Wang was building the tower. Brother Wang was really being thoughtful for all our sakes! Why did I ever dare try to stop him! I really deserve to die!"
"Branch Lord Wen serves Second Parlor Lord Se Yutian. He was busy setting up a spell array but never told us anything about it. So, he’s been trying to kill us all along! What a b*stard!"
"We’re alive, all thanks to Brother Wang!"
Meanwhile, the righteous disciples were also talking about the situation.
"Brother Wang tried to warn us a while back that the demonic sect was trying to harm us. I didn’t believe it, and mocked him behind his back. I deserve to die!"
"My junior apprentice-brother Wang is the East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord! He must have known that you guys were stiff-necked. That’s why he found an excuse to build this tower to save you all. Back then, you guys didn’t help and only laughed at him when people went to interrupt the tower’s construction? Ptooey! Now you know why my junior apprentice-brother Wang did all of this!"
"I feel so ashamed!"
"Although I don’t know how Brother Wang made it down there, he risked his life to save us at such a critical time. I… Brother Wang is truly benevolent and righteous!"

Wang Ke himself didn’t know that his attempts to prevent financial losses made him look the part of a righteous and benevolent person in the eyes of many.
