Chapter 1500: The Three Zhao Brothers

~7 min read 1,245 words

Yun Xiantai went to Dao One Holy City, enjoying a night of romance.

Outside Haotu Shijie, not far away, within the Wújìn Xīnghǎi, a Star Battleship was anchored here.

From the arrangement of the Star Battleship, it was clear that the people aboard were indeed a gang of Space Pirates.

They were exactly the Space Pirates previously contacted by Dao Yi Shengdi.

At this moment, in a room aboard the battleship, three men gathered together; one of them was the fierce man who had previously spoken with Yun Xiantai.

He sat in the seat of honor, his gaze falling on a fair-skinned man to the lower left.

Judging by appearance alone, this fair-skinned man looked nothing like a Space Pirate, more like a scholar.

He held a paper fan in his hand and dressed like a scholar.

"Old Two, where do you think we should set this location?"

"Big Brother, let's set it at the entrance of Haotu Shijie."

"Set it at someone else's doorstep?"

Hearing this, the fierce man blinked, his simple and honest face asking.

The three men present were brothers; the fierce man was the eldest brother, named Zhao Rou.

Such a feminine name, completely opposite to his appearance.

The fair-skinned man was called Zhao Jie; as for the silent man beside him, hugging a large axe and dozing off, he was the youngest of the three brothers, named Zhao Lin.

Worth mentioning, the three brothers are all Emperor Sovereign powerhouses.

In other words, this band of Space Pirates has three Emperor Sovereigns, which is quite respectable.

Hearing the eldest brother's words, Zhao Jie lightly shook his paper fan and smiled.

"What does it matter?"

Seeing this, Zhao Rou didn't think much and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then we'll listen to Old Two."

Among the three brothers, Zhao Jie is the smartest, and he follows the path of literary cultivation, having reached the Emperor Sovereign level.

Therefore, whenever Zhao Jie speaks, Zhao Rou basically obeys, even though he is the eldest brother.

As for Zhao Lin, there's no need to say more; he does whatever his two older brothers tell him.

Soon Zhao Rou contacted Shan Pao, telling him the meeting place and time.

At this moment, Shan Pao was staying temporarily in Xu Jie's Dong Fu within Dao Yi Shengdi.

Upon receiving the reply from the Zhao brothers, Yun Xiantai and company didn't think much and immediately agreed.

The meeting place posed no problem; the entrance of Haotu Shijie was still their territory.

Time flew by; a day later, Yun Xiantai, Shi Qingfeng, and the Emperor Sovereign elder from Jade Pool Holy Land arrived at the entrance of Haotu Shijie.

Not long after, the Zhao brothers also arrived.

Zhao Rou took the lead, with Zhao Jie and Zhao Lin flanking him on either side.

Seeing the three appear here, some outside cultivators watching the entrance clearly recognized their identities and were stunned.

"Strange, how did the Zhao brothers end up here?"

"They wouldn't be planning to attack Haotu Shijie, would they?"

"Impossible, didn't the Zhao brothers know about the battle with the Blue Moon Sect earlier?"

Haotu Shijie's displayed strength is not weak, although it hasn't reached the highest tier of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Even with the Zhao brothers, they still seem somewhat lacking.

What no one expected was that, as the Zhao brothers had just arrived outside the main hall's entrance, Wu Shou, who had been waiting here, directly brought the three brothers into the hall.

Seeing this, many cultivators were somewhat bewildered; how could Haotu Shijie be so courteous toward a band of Space Pirates?

Not knowing their relationship, inside the hall, upon seeing the Zhao brothers, before Yun Xiantai could speak, Zhao Rou directly said:

"Old geezer, finally we meet."

"Huh???"

As soon as those words were spoken, Yun Xiantai, who had just been about to speak, immediately darkened in face, and his anger began to rise.

"This bastard, why do I really dislike hearing you talk so much?"

However, Zhao Rou apparently didn't care, openly striding to the lower seat and sitting down.

He spoke without any hesitation.

"Right, old geezer, you said you wanted to cooperate—exactly how is that supposed to work?"

As Zhao Rou's words fell, with a crack, the armrest of the chair Yun Xiantai was sitting on was directly crushed into powder by him.

Looking toward the sound, Zhao Rou didn't notice at all Yun Xiantai's grim, ugly expression.

He also let out a strange little "eh".

"Eh, old geezer, what are you doing?"

"I damn.............."

Yun Xiantai only felt that his killing intent was hard to restrain, his hands stiff, wanting to hit someone.

Fortunately, Shi Qingfeng beside him pulled him back.

At that moment, Zhao Jie also took up the conversation and said.

"Please understand, my eldest brother is just like this—he speaks bluntly, so don't take offense."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Yun Xiantai coldly glanced at Zhao Rou, "You call this speaking bluntly?"

"Speak like that, and you'll surely get hacked to death when you go out."

However, with Zhao Jie speaking, the ensuing discussion would go much more smoothly—aside from Zhao Rou occasionally interjecting with those "old geezer" remarks that made Yun Xiantai's liver ache, the rest proceeded fairly well.

"You want to hire us to help Haotu Shijie seize the Tiāndào Qìyùn?"

"Getting to the point, Zhao Jie looked at the three from Yun Xiantai with a bewildered expression."

"Even though he thought himself quite resourceful, right now he only felt his head buzzing a little."

"He had never run into anything this absurd— a normal world actually asking to cooperate with them, the Space Pirates?"

"What kind of person comes up with such a plan?"

"Faced with Zhao Jie's slow-witted question, Shi Qingfeng nodded and said."

"As you've heard, that's how it is."

"Old timer, what do you think— letting us make a move to seize the Tiāndào Qìyùn, can you afford the cost?"

"You fucking............."

"As soon as Shi Qingfeng finished speaking, Zhao Rou habitually chimed in again— this time Yun Xiantai couldn't hold back."

"She suddenly stood up and shouted a curse; Zhao Rou was stunned by the scolding, then reacted and immediately flew into a rage as well."

"This old coot dares to scold me?"

"She also meant to explode, but Zhao Jie beside her quickly grabbed her."

"Second brother, what are you doing? This old geezer insulted me."

"Big brother, stay calm."

"Zhao Jie calmly gave Zhao Rou a look; seeing his serious expression, Zhao Rou stared for a moment, then actually fell silent."

"Unlike his older brother, Zhao Jie had already looked into the situation in Haotu Shijie."

"He knew it wasn't that simple on the surface, and upon entering the hall, although surrounded by formations, even as Emperor Sovereign experts they couldn't extend their divine sense."

"But his intuition told Zhao Jie that there might be more than just the three Emperor Sovereigns of Yun Xiantai in this hall."

"If they act, whether the three brothers can leave safely today is a question."

"Having stopped his older brother Zhao Rou, Zhao Jie smiled and looked at the three from Yun Xiantai, saying."

"Three fellow Daoists, just as my older brother said, let us make a move to help seize the Tiāndào Qìyùn— can you afford the price? You should know, this price isn't low."

"Zhao Jie's words were already fairly tactful; he actually thought this deal was a sure loss."
