Chapter 850 839: Luring the Enemy into the Trap
In the Zhu Family Territory on Zhu Hongxing, Bai Yan watched as Zhu Hou contacted the usual buyers of the metals these Outer Realm Beings needed, rubbing his smooth chin and spoke coldly.
"Zhou Qiang, Li Duo, you two will pretend to be Zhu Hou's guards and stay by his side with me. Fu Chao, you send Demon Island back to Fiery Sun Star over there, don't let the buyers of these metals get suspicious."
"But Brother Yan…"
Fu Chao was evidently worried about Bai Yan. To him, capturing the buyers wasn't important, Bai Yan's safety was the priority.
"I know what you're thinking, but if we can't capture him on Zhu Hongxing, then he escapes into the Void, we'll have even less chances. Now, Demon Island doesn't navigate that well in the Void."
Bai Yan patted Fu Chao's shoulder reassuringly. Only those like Fu Chao, who have been with him from the beginning, would show such concern.
"Yes."
Fu Chao reluctantly followed Bai Yan's order, disappearing from Zhu Hongxing. Meanwhile, most of the Demon Warriors Bai Yan brought along also returned.
Ruling Zhu Hongxing wasn't that troublesome; Zhu Hou was already Bai Yan's Demon Servant, and Bai Yan just needed to offer ten thousand positions to bind the higher-ups of the Zhu Hongxing Domain under his command, making this place a fortress as his stronghold.
Getting the notable figures in Zhu Hongxing Domain to sign the Demon Contract took Bai Yan three days. Those who refused to yield turned into nourishment for the Abyss.
When Bai Yan successfully subdued most of the Zhu Hongxing Domain's upper echelons, the buyers of the special metal sent Zhu Hou their location.
Under Zhu Hou's guidance, a small spaceship smoothly landed on the Zhu Family's landing pad, four monks with diverse appearances walked out from the ship.
Bai Yan sensed an overwhelming pressure from the leader, like Taishan Mountain bearing down. This person walked with a dragon stride and tiger step, truly domineering.
Despite being the buyer, he showed no buyer's demeanor, disembarking from the spaceship without a word and heading straight for the Zhu Family's main banquet hall!
Bai Yan followed behind Zhu Hou, watching the bowing Zhu Hou, his eyes slightly narrowed as if contemplating something.
"How many can you hold down?"
Bai Yan's voice was transmitted to Zhou Qiang and Li Duo through Divine Thought, among these four, three were Supremes, and the dragon-stride leader was merely at the pinnacle of Saint Realm.
Bai Yan looked calmly at the three Supremes behind the leader, his peripheral vision catching Zhou Qiang and Li Duo only extending one finger each.
So that's how it is...
Bai Yan sighed inwardly, his powerful Divine Thought had already detected the presence of three Supremes inside the ship before it even landed.
The bridge will straighten when the boat arrives; it's a step-by-step situation.
Bai Yan continued following behind Zhu Hou, playing the part of a bodyguard with abnormal techniques impressively.
"Mr. Lin, do you think the price of Black Water Gold could be adjusted upward a bit…?"
"The mine is depleting, and the cost of mining is rising. Over the past year, I've lost over a hundred miners…"
Zhu Hou asked humbly while his attendant girls served the leader, as if he were the one desperately pleading to buy something.
Yet the man called Mr. Lin expressed no opinion, merely holding his hot tea and coldly staring into the Void ahead.
"Family Head Zhu, hurry up and bring the goods out; our Lord Lin has other appointments to keep."
A slender Supreme standing behind the Lin-surnamed man stepped forward, pointing at Zhu Hou with authority.
"This…"
Zhu Hou didn't know what to do, as the so-called Black Water Gold had all been taken by Bai Yan, even the veins were crushed by Fu Chao's command.
At this moment, Zhu Hou subconsciously turned to Bai Yan for help.
Bai Yan knew Zhu Hou couldn't be relied upon now, so he had to step up.
"Mr. Lin, your subordinate seems untied and about to bite."
Bai Yan's words carried a sting, instantly enraging the slender Supreme.
"You dare call me a dog?! How dare a mere Quasi-Saint Realm insult me?!"
"Zhu Hou!! Are these your servants?!"
"If you don't discipline him today, I'll do it for you!"
The so-called strong's pride exploded, the slender Supreme drawing his long sword with murderous intent, ready to stab Bai Yan.
The Supreme's killing intent was intensely palpable, even within the Zhu Family Territory, Zhu Hong City felt the terrifying instant of killing intent from the Zhu Family grounds.
"Enough, Li Xiang, stand down."
Just as Supreme Li Xiang was about to strike, the Lin-surnamed man sitting at the main seat stopped him with a gesture.
"But…"
Supreme Li Xiang tried to argue but was silenced by the fierce gaze of the Lin-surnamed man.
"Haha, the Zhu Family Master's servant indeed has courage, I, Lin Hu, admire such people."
"Family Master Zhu, why not gift me this guard?"
Although the Lin-surnamed man was rough in appearance, he had a meticulous side, unlike Supreme Li Xiang, who directly wanted to kill Bai Yan.
To him, concealing the existence of Outer Realm Beings was more crucial than anything.
"Mr. Lin, pardon my saying, but if you want me from the Family Master, shouldn't you consider my skills first? Otherwise, what if you've chosen wrongly, correct? After all, I'm just a Quasi-Saint Realm monk."
Before Zhu Hou could speak, Bai Yan stepped out, sneered, and said.
"Good, haha, indeed interesting, how will this young brother prove his ability?"
Lin Hu rose from the main seat, looking down at Bai Yan, his smile conflicting with his intimidating demeanor, causing Zhu Hou to tremble.
Master, don't act impulsively, these are Supremes, not just anyone picked from the roadside!
Seeing Bai Yan focusing on the slender Supreme Li Xiang who taunted earlier, Zhu Hou was deeply shaken.
"He'll do, if I can defeat him, shouldn't that prove my strength?"
Bai Yan's calm demeanor caused everyone present to tense, pondering Bai Yan's motive for such an action.
Could Bai Yan be sent by Zhu Hou to die, just to extort me into increasing the price of Black Water Gold?
Lin Hu questioned internally, but the situation couldn't allow him to hesitate; if he backed down now, he wouldn't stand in the Endless Star Sea at all!
