Negotiating Terms

“I know what you’re thinking.”

The giant face seemed to have predicted Zhou Mingrui’s thoughts. Hence, it said, “Although this wisp of consciousness belongs to the Lord of the Spirits, it doesn’t have the immense power to destroy the world.”

“But it’s more than enough to deal with your current situation. There’s no need to worry.”

Zhou Mingrui’s interest was piqued. How was he going to defeat Zhao Guian without powerful energy?

!!

“I won’t explain much about this. Next, I will take over your body, so please do not resist. At the same time, please focus and observe my actions next.”

Before Zhou Mingrui could ask what it meant, the entire space suddenly began to spin. Following that, his vision turned black and he lost consciousness.

In the outside world.

Zhao Guian sat on the sofa, and soon the person he was waiting for arrived.

A few of his men retreated into another room. They did not dare to stop a woman and a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes from walking in.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s appearance, Zhao Guian’s face became serious for the first time.

As for the woman, she was Yan Wuyue. The anxiety on her face was obvious because she had discovered something wrong with Zhou Mingrui through her mental connection with him.

She had been extremely anxious along the way and rushed over as quick as she could. Now, as she saw the unconscious Zhou Mingrui on the ground, she immediately felt as if her heart was being clutched by an invisible hand.

She instinctively wanted to rush forward, but the middle-aged man next to her held her shoulder and stopped her.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead. Even if he’s dead, he can be reborn as a spirit, so don’t worry.” A weak voice appeared in Yan Wuyue’s ears.

Yan Wuyue stopped struggling.

“I originally thought that she would ask for help from old Li and the others. I really didn’t expect that she would actually ask you.” Zhao Guian said calmly.

“Hahaha, well, I didn’t expect that Yan Wuyue would provoke your Zhao family either. But come to think of it, we haven’t seen each other for almost four years, have we?” the middle-aged man laughed.

“Why, Chen Xiangtian, from what you’ve said, have you decided to stand up for them this time?” Zhao Guian stared at the middle-aged man and asked.

“I, Chen Xiangtian, will help whoever I want to help. It’s not your place to ask, is it?” Chen Xiang Tian coldly snorted, not giving Zhao Guian any face.

“Is this the attitude you should have when you’re begging me?” Zhao Guian stood up, his voice changing.

“Do I need to beg you? I’m telling you to let him go. Otherwise, you’ll have to think about the consequences of this incident.” Chen Xiangtian pressed on.

“This br*t is not just slapping my face, but also the Zhao family’s face. Do you think I’ll let him go just because of your words?” Zhao Guian didn’t back down and chose to fight head on.

Then, he stood up, and the red summoned spirit that had appeared before appeared behind him again, exuding an oppressive aura.

Chen Xiangtian raised his eyebrows. He held Yan Wuyue’s shoulder and pulled her behind him.

“In that case, I might as well tell you that they are the people that Dean Wan wants. Are you sure you still want to do this?” Chen Xiangtian wasn’t affected by his opponent’s aura at all.

“Wan Kun?” Hearing this, Zhao Guian’s face changed.

It was as if this name had a great magic power to cause the originally tense atmosphere to suddenly quiet down.

Yan Wuyue, who was standing aside, could see clearly how Zhao Guian’s expression changed when he heard Dean Wan’s name, which indirectly proved the power and horror of this person.

“Now, can we have a proper conversation?” Chen Xiang Tian sneered.

“If it’s really Dean Wan Kun, he does have the right to ask for someone from the Zhao family. But he can’t do it without reason.” Zhao Guian squinted his eyes.

“Oh, then what are your conditions?” As Chen Xiangtian spoke, he released his big hand from Yan Wuyue’s shoulder.

“I want a favor from Dean Wan,” Zhao Guian immediately said.

Chen Xiangtian didn’t agree, because for someone at Dean Wan’s level, the value of a favor was sometimes unimaginable.

Therefore, even Chen Xiangtian couldn’t agree on behalf of Dean Wan. After all, it involved a lot of connections and networks.

“What, you don’t want to?” Zhao Guian snorted.

Zhou Mingrui’s appearance was an accident. However, if he could gain a favor from Dean Wanun, it would definitely be a huge benefit.

Yan Wuyue wanted to say something, but she couldn’t. If she hadn’t been reborn, she would have said it, but after experiencing so many things, she naturally understood.

]It was already very respectful of Dean Wan to allow Chen Xiangtian to use his name as a guarantee, but if he ended up owing someone a favor because of this, the meaning behind it was completely different.

“If that’s the case, then forget it. Dean Wan may be highly respected and powerful, but he’s not an unreasonable person.” Zhao Guian said fearlessly.

“It seems like you’re ready to fight?” Chen Xiangtian took a step forward, his body exuding a powerful aura.

He wasn’t afraid of Zhao Guian alone at all, but it would be a different story for him to face the entire Zhao family.

“Who’s afraid of who?” Zhao Guian didn’t show any weakness.

The two powerful auras immediately collided in the living room, causing a strong airflow that blew in all directions.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui, who had been unconscious on the ground, seemed to have woken up from the clash of auras.

However, when he opened his eyes, they were pitch-black without any focus.

He stood up straight, and even Zhao Guian was shocked.

“Zhou Mingrui!” Yan Wuyue shouted, but there was no response.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui’s unfocused eyes turned to look at Zhao Guian. The latter immediately felt an indescribable chill envelop his body.

It had been a long time since he had felt this, and it even stimulated some memories that had been sealed in his mind.

This was that same feeling as what he felt when he had first met and locked his eyes with the head of the Zhao family.

Seeing this, Yan Wuyue wanted to step forward again, but she was once again stopped by Chen Xiangtian’s big hand.

“He’s not in the right state now. Don’t go towards him,” Chen Xiangtian said seriously.

A dead summoned spirit could be resurrected, but if something happened to the summoner, it could not be salvaged. Therefore, Chen Xiangtian had to control Yan Wuyue.

“But…”

Before Yan Wuyue could finish her sentence, she saw Zhou Mingrui’s body suddenly tremble. Immediately after, a layer of bone armor that was as fine as fish scales appeared on his body.

“What, the lesson just now wasn’t enough, you still want to fight?” Zhao Guian snapped back to reality and said coldly to Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui’s face was expressionless. He did not say anything unnecessary. He raised his hand and summoned the Nether Flame Bone Blade. He took a step and charged forward.
