Chapter 266: Talking About the Pot That Won't Boil

"This..."

Yin Luan watched the scene of Lord Qing Feng spinning in circles and found herself speechless.

"If you had entered as an enemy, the result would be the same."

Lu Cang said this calmly.

Killing a Saint-rank Lord is not particularly difficult.

But trapping him is hard.

Unless that Saint-rank Lord intends to commit suicide.

But the consequences of a Saint-rank suicide are far more severe than those of an ordinary Lord's suicide.

All Lords are wary of making a sacrifice to that Existence.

The higher and more powerful the Lord,

the more they can feel the fear brought by that Existence.

Even if they die, they absolutely cannot make a sacrifice to revive it.

This is not about harming anyone, nor about overthrowing the world.

It is just a vague concept.

But this concept is like a thought stamp.

Deeply engraved in the minds of all Lords.

Do not commit suicide.

Do not make a sacrifice.

Do not let It revive.

Even if you want to take revenge on someone, even if you want to destroy the entire world, even if you want to retaliate against everything in the world.

No matter the purpose, you cannot let It revive.

Do not delude yourself into using It to achieve your mad goals.

"Come with me."

"And tell me what use you have."

"You should know that even a Saint-rank is not very powerful in front of me."

Hearing Lu Cang say this,

Yin Luan instinctively followed him.

It seemed that after entering this city, she had boarded a thief's ship.

And now she could not get off.

"I possess classified intelligence about the Alliance."

"I can help you deal with the Alliance more effectively."

"Oh?"

"That indeed has value for cooperation."

"Tell me in detail."

Lu Cang walked through the streets of Within Cangcheng while chatting with her.

In Yin Luan's eyes, she saw a series of shocking scenes in Within Cangcheng.

Many Tier-10 Lords were wrapped in flesh and blood, suspended in mid-air.

They were not killed.

"Oh, these are hostages, used to negotiate with the Alliance."

"What do you think?"

Seeing these suspended Lords, Yin Luan replied calmly.

"The Alliance does not care about the lives or deaths of these Tier-10 Lords."

Yin Luan was not frightened by such a scene.

Surviving in the world of Lords, she had long seen countless storms and waves.

Although she is a female Lord,

in any case, she survived in a chaotic world and rose to become a Saint-rank Existence.

This method of using hostages for negotiation

is not new.

The Alliance indeed does not care about these Lords.

"True."

It seemed these hostages posed no threat anyway.

At most, he would torture them and kill them.

But what difference would killing them make?

They can be resurrected anyway.

The Alliance does not care at all.

"I was negligent."

Lu Cang gently closed his hands, and those flesh walls instantly tightened.

The Lords, crushed by the pressure, died instantly.

The items and materials carried by these Lords scattered all over the ground.

After a Lord dies, some of the items in their backpack will also drop out.

This is also the reason why a lord needs a warehouse to store things.

Otherwise, wouldn't it suffice to store everything in the backpack?

Lu Cang's own backpack basically contains no particularly important items.

Important items are instead entirely swallowed by the nest for safekeeping.

If needed, they can be directly reverse-transcribed out.

Reverse-transcribed items are exactly the same as before being swallowed, undergoing no changes whatsoever.

Seeing Lu Cang's behavior like this,

Yin Luan was not surprised.

Compared to the death of these resurrectable lives,

he was more surprised by the grandeur of this flesh-and-blood city.

"By the way, how many Life Forbidden Zones are there?"

Lu Cang suddenly remembered something, so he posed this question to Yin Luan.

Upon hearing this question, Yin Luan did not think at all.

Instead, he answered.

"Four: the Life Forbidden Zone, the Time Forbidden Zone, the Space Forbidden Zone, and the Confusion Forbidden Zone."

"What's wrong?"

After receiving the answer,

Lu Cang fell silent briefly.

Then he replied: "Nothing."

"Continue."

"Lu Cang, I indeed wish to form an alliance with you, and I can also tell you important intelligence about the Alliance."

"But before that, I believe we should first resolve the trouble I am encountering."

"Trouble?"
