Chapter 69: Planting a Mole Among the Human High-Ups!

The human who suddenly appeared, especially that fearful voice, made the Fire Leopard guarding the entrance freeze for a moment, and then it flew into a rage, "Great King, this human!"

"How bold!"

As the words fell, the Fire Leopard was about to rush over to bite the ant in its eyes to death, but was stopped by Lu Chuan, "Don't be agitated!"

"You continue to guard the entrance to prevent anyone from seeing."

"However... it should be that only he alone has come in."

After speaking, Lu Chuan cast his gaze onto Bai Shijing.

He was actually quite curious about this human.

After all, to prevent humans from investigating the situation in his lair, Lu Chuan had arranged for all his underlings to stand guard in layers upon layers, and even near the entrance of the Underground Palace, there were Beast underlings lurking at all times; it could be said to be extremely secure.

It was just unexpected that this tiny human could actually sneak into his lair so silently.

This made him feel very surprised.

At this very moment, Lu Chuan was actually feeling a bit fortunate inside, "Fortunately, my cultivation is far, far higher than his, otherwise... I wouldn't have been able to sense the anomaly in the great hall, let alone discover him and trick him into revealing himself!"

However, the moment he thought about the other party saying he came to negotiate, a sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of Lu Chuan's mouth; after all... who would be so sneaky when negotiating? If he had nothing to hide, what was he concealing? Thinking of how Bai Shijing was trembling while speaking just now, yet still retained the arrogance belonging to a human in his words, Lu Chuan stared tightly at the other's eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "Since you've come, then don't leave!"

"It just so happens I haven't eaten today, so I'll use you to whet my appetite first."

As the words fell, Lu Chuan's massive snake tail swept over with terrifying speed, instantly coiling around Bai Shijing's body, leaving him unable to move.

He also gauged his strength just right, binding the person without breaking his bones.

Otherwise, this person would have suffered just from this move alone.

"Snake King, I really am here to negotiate!"

"Don't kill me, let's talk this over properly!"

For a moment, Bai Shijing no longer had the arrogance from just before; he was now desperately explaining, wanting to survive under Lu Chuan's hand, "I... I came with full sincerity, and entering here was just a coincidence; I didn't mean to spy on your secrets, Snake King!"

"Snake King, I really didn't come to cause trouble, you... you hold back your strength, don't actually kill me!"

"Wuwuwu, I... I was wrong, Snake King, please be magnanimous, let me off for now and listen to what I want to negotiate with you..."

As time passed, Bai Shijing's performance became increasingly pathetic; after all... a human elite like him did not want to be buried in a snake's belly so soon.

To survive, he was willing to do anything at this moment.

"Since you want to live, then submit to this King!"

The next second, a strange light erupted from Lu Chuan's eyes; after 【Soul-Seizing Pupil】 was activated, it directly made Bai Shijing's expression turn dazed, but after a moment, Bai Shijing regained his composure.

At this time, he bowed his head toward Lu Chuan and said respectfully, "Master!"

Only then did the Fire Leopard stop spitting flames to seal the entrance of the great hall.

It walked to Lu Chuan's side and stared quietly at Bai Shijing, its eyes full of anger.

"This brat is extremely weird, to be able to come here silently!"

"However, fortunately, you are wise and martial, Boss, and saw through his 【Camouflage】 at a glance!"

"Speak, who are you and what are you doing here!" Lu Chuan stared at the Bai Shijing before him and asked calmly.

The latter was now his servant, so he directly confessed his identity, "Reporting to Master, my name is Bai Shijing, and I came here to investigate the situation under the orders of the Jiangnan Chief Officer of the Great Xia!"

"Why you?"

Hearing this, Bai Shijing hurriedly spoke, "Master, I was originally just an ordinary person, but because Qinling is strictly controlled by Beasts, I rose through the ranks several times because of my 【Invisibility】 ability, and I am already quite an official among humans!"

"I was just feeling proud of this matter, but was suddenly sent to the Qinling mountains, ordered to investigate the situation, and finally... finally fell into your hands..."

"Go, find him some powerful 【Spirit Fruit】!"

After hearing these words, Lu Chuan gave an order to the Fire Leopard, "Let his cultivation be able to break through to the 【Awakening Realm Late Stage】!"

The latter felt a wave of depression in its heart, but still went to execute it honestly.

Under Lu Chuan's arrangement, Bai Shijing enjoyed 【Spirit Fruit】 he had never obtained before, and he firmly believed that with these, his strength would make great progress!

After all... he was able to reach the 【Awakening Realm Mid-Stage】 now because his own talent was quite good!

"Thank you, Master!"

After eating the 【Spirit Fruit】, Bai Shijing said to Lu Chuan very gratefully, "It won't be long before I should be able to break through to the 【Awakening Realm Late Stage】!"

To this, Lu Chuan expressed nothing.

Nowadays, he was already at the fourth stage of the 【Shackle Realm】; taking out this little bit of resources casually was equivalent to waste, and he didn't care too much about it.

And the reason for treating Bai Shijing this way was simple for Lu Chuan—he wanted to cultivate a human, and one who held a high position at that.

In this way, he could use this human to obtain more news he wanted.

If Bai Shijing had the strength of the 【Awakening Realm Late Stage】 after returning, it would allow him to be valued more and thus come into contact with more information.

Of course, the biggest reason Lu Chuan did this was actually to deal with Jiang Luoli!

Through Lin Xueer's report, he had already learned that Jiang Luoli came from a conglomerate and had a certain influence in Jianghai City; ordinary people would not easily offend her, but if someone from the official side caused trouble, she would still be quite wary.

"Jiang Luoli, oh Jiang Luoli, you are not alone after all."

Looking at Bai Shijing before him, Lu Chuan felt deeply emotional, "Even if you don't fear official targeting, your family members will always be afraid."

"And this place of Jianghai happens to be located in the Jiangnan District, under the jurisdiction of the high officials of the Jiangnan District!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan came back to his senses and looked at Bai Shijing, instructing, "Bai Shijing, go back!"

"I hope you can climb higher in the future and bring me more useful news!"

"Master, then as for the superiors..."

Hearing this question, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said to him, "You just report the news that the Beasts have opened up an 【Underground Palace】, and you can even describe the situation of the 【Underground Palace】 more exaggeratedly!"

"Make the 【Underground Palace】 sound as big as you can, and you can even indicate that this 【Underground Palace】 has already gathered quite a few Beasts."

He gave this instruction because the news Bai Shijing brought back could earn him merit, and making the 【Underground Palace】 sound exaggerated was enough to make humans feel wary and not act rashly! (End of chapter)
