Chapter 240: Rounding Up

~7 min read 1,361 words

Ji looked Lv Fang, who was disguised as a ghost cultivator, up and down, with a high-and-mighty posture: "How strong is your perception?"

In his view, Lv Fang was already a prisoner, whose life and death were in his hands. He could be kind enough not to take action immediately, entirely because he took a fancy to Lv Fang's ability.

"How strong is my perception?"

Lv Fang's brain was

Another option was to pretend to defect to them and then secretly use a sound-transmission talisman to request reinforcements.

In this way, he could wipe out both Ji and Song Ce in one fell swoop.

"Shouldn't you already know how strong my perception is? Do you still need to ask me? You look like ancient exotic beings who escaped from the sealed land, don't you?"

Lv Fang said ambiguously.

Ji threatened with a cold expression: "It seems you still don't know your own situation. When I ask a question, you answer. You have no room for choice. Of course, if you want to die, I can grant your wish."

Song Ce, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed watching the show, reminded him: "I suggest you don't kill him. His super-strong perception will be a great help for us to escape the pursuit of the Luo Sha Kingdom's army."

Ji let out a cold snort and said: "Of course I know that, but this ghost cultivator seems a bit too self-righteous. If I don't teach him a lesson and let him know my power, he'll think he's something special."

As soon as his words fell.

Ji's pitch-black pupils were like a black hole vortex, and strands of black mist drifted out from all directions around him. These black mists assumed a surrounding posture, attempting to entangle Lv Fang.

In his view, Lv Fang was merely a Fifth-Rank, Third-Stage ghost cultivator, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Yet, the next second.

Ji was surprised to find that the weak ghost cultivator before him had actually used strange footwork to calmly dodge all the attacks from the black mist.

This surprised him somewhat!

He had not expected that a random ghost cultivator he encountered would have such strong power.

"Stop for a moment." Song Ce suddenly spoke up at this time. After seeing Ji stop, he looked at Lv Fang, who was standing there without running, and asked suspiciously: "Your speed is very fast, why didn't you choose to run?"

Lv Fang did not hesitate at all and said: "Because I just heard that you need me, and it just so happens that I am alone. As long as you give me benefits, I am willing to help you."

"That makes things easier." Song Ce grinned and looked at Ji beside him, saying: "I've provided his benefits, what do you think? Having someone with such strong perception is beneficial to both you and me."

The two, who had been fighting to the death just moments ago, exchanged a glance and couldn't help but nod. They didn't care if Lv Fang was reliable, because once they discovered anything amiss, they would join forces to kill him.

Lv Fang smiled amusedly and said: "Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision. My price is not cheap. After all, if the matter were to spread, wouldn't I be wanted by the Luo Sha Kingdom?"

"I also require a certain degree of freedom. That is to say, if the deal is successful, you must keep a safe distance from me. I am only responsible for sensing whether there is danger around; I will not concern myself with anything else."

"You might not believe me, but there's no help for that. One side must show sincerity before we can cooperate happily."

Song Ce pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Fine, we can do as you say. But remember, if you dare to mess around, I will definitely make you pay a painful price."

"Conversely, if you truly want to cooperate, your future will be limitless. Since you have seen that we are ancient exotic beings, I will not hide it anymore."

"We are currently searching for the King of the Wu'e Clan. As long as we find it, we will build a great force capable of shaking the Luo Sha Kingdom. By then, as the first ghost cultivator to join, you will definitely be able to obtain a good position."

"I can see you aren't just some mediocre person. This is an opportunity, a chance to realize your ambitions."

It must be said that Song Ce was very good at bewitching people's hearts. If it weren't for Lv Fang, anyone else would certainly have been tempted.

However, according to what Song Ce said, they intended to go and find some King of the Wu'e Clan. This Wu'e Clan must be the name of an exotic race sealed in the sealed land.

If the other members of the Wu'e Clan were already this strong, then this King would undoubtedly be even stronger. If he could find the location of this King, that would be quite good.

After a brief moment of thought, Lv Fang made his decision: this risk was worth taking. He feigned being tempted and said: "How do I know if what you say is true? Future matters can be discussed later. Now, if you want me to cooperate with you, then bring out the heaven-sent treasures that will make me tempted."

"Straightforward. I just like dealing with people like you."

Song Ce extended his hand, and a white light flashed. A storage bag appeared in his palm, which he tossed directly to Lv Fang, saying: "Here are one thousand mid-grade Myriad Dao Stones. This is just a deposit. Once you have played your part, I will give you the remaining four thousand immediately."

"If you are willing to go with us to search for the King of the Wu'e Clan, believe me, the benefits you obtain then will be incomparable to Myriad Dao Stones."

"Deal!" Lv Fang glanced at the storage bag and readily agreed.

This Song Ce was quite generous; he likely really needed Lv Fang's super-perception, or perhaps he just wanted to stabilize him first.

But none of that mattered. He just needed to be careful. In a little while, he would immediately use a sound-transmission talisman to inform Xue Luo Sha about the news of the Wu'e Clan having a King.

Once the timing was right, he would immediately leave the team.

No matter how he looked at it, it was a situation with a hundred benefits and no harm. If possible, it would be even better if he could kill Song Ce.

For some reason, he had a premonition that the reason the Demon Barbarians appeared in the Lower Upper Realm and found the sealed land was that this guy Song Ce must have known something beforehand.

He might even have known that the sealed land could be upgraded.

From the fact that Song Ce could easily enter the very back of the sealed palace, he knew this guy was a bit suspicious.

It was a pity that he hadn't thought of this point at the time, and there was no help for it; there were simply too many possibilities. Even if he were smarter, he couldn't have imagined that the sealed land could be upgraded.

Just then, Lv Fang raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "A squad of the Luo Sha Kingdom's army is rushing in this direction. I estimate we will encounter them in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"Are you sure?" Ji frowned.

Song Ce closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile: "I didn't sense anything either. However, in order not to attract the attention of the Luo Sha Kingdom's main force, let's withdraw first. As for whether there is a Luo Sha Kingdom army coming, I have my own ways of knowing."

"Hmm." Ji responded, glanced at Lv Fang, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you aren't lying, otherwise I will definitely not spare you."
