Chapter 1209 Stealing
The cultivation world was just that shameless . As long as you were strong enough, you didn’t need to have any misgivings about whatever you did . The ‘truth’ could be changed at any time to suit your needs .
As for whether other people believed it or not, it didn’t matter . Either they had to agree that it was true, or you would kill them .
This was an extremely bald-faced scheme without any skill or substance . But they also didn’t need such a thing . In fact, the simpler it was, the better .
A while ago, Long Chen had even asked the Xuan Master why the Central Plains’ experts didn’t use their heads .
And the Xuan Master had clearly replied that experts didn’t need to use their heads . That was too troublesome . All they needed was enough power .
Now, the Grand Han was a perfect example . With a powerful backer, they didn’t need a marvelous scheme, nor were they afraid of others knowing the truth . That was because everyone had to believe their truth, the truth of the Pill Tower . Those who didn’t believe would have killers come to their doors . The cultivation world was simply this shameless, this roguish .
“Do you really think your Pill Tower can be so overbearing and conceal the truth from the ma.s.ses?” demanded Long Chen, his killing intent spreading . He knew that Xia Yunchong and Xia Youluo were in danger right at this moment .
No one could have predicted that the Grand Han would have such crazy ambitions of borrowing the strength of other powers to devour the other three nations . This danger had come far too suddenly and without any premonitions .
“Correct . My Pill Tower is the heavens in this region, and Pill Valley is the heavens of the entire Martial Heaven Continent . As for you people, you are just ants who can only rely on us to live . If we want you to die, you’ll have to obediently wait for your death . Sometimes being dumb is another kind of intelligence . As for those idiots who like to think of themselves as smart, their deaths are always the most miserable .
“I don’t mind telling you this . Even once the Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou’s elites are all killed, there won’t be any war . First, let’s ignore the pressure of Pill Valley, the a.s.sistance of the ancient races, and the threat of the Bloodkill Hall . The hypocritical, sanctimonious people of the three nations won’t truly start a war .
“They don’t want their citizens to be drawn into it, because in any war, whether you win or lose, it’s always the common citizens that have the highest casualties . The Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou care too much about those ants’ lives . On the other hand, the Grand Han knows that battle is just this cruel . The goal of a battle is to win more resources . So the Grand Han dared to do this .
“That’s why it’s fated that the Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou that have lost a third of their dragon veins’ karmic luck are doomed to decline . They don’t dare to fight due to their own soft-heartedness . Furthermore, they’re afraid of other sects partic.i.p.ating, so their decline is set in stone .
“As for the Grand Han, they’ll have devoured the three nations’ karmic luck, eventually dominating all four nations . There’s no suspense at all . So do you understand now? Not only is it impossible for you to escape, but the Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou have no chance either . Submitting to me now is your only chance of survival . Not only will I let you live, but I’ll also let you live grandly . Abandon your meaningless struggle . ”
Dan Chu looked at Long Chen confidently, seeming omnipotent in his current state . Anyone would feel a sense of powerlessness if their positions were switched with Long Chen .
But Dan Chu had no idea that Long Chen was recording everything he was saying with a photographic jade in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . His eyes were the windows to the photographic jade . Everything he saw, everything he heard, it was all stealthily recorded . Dan Chu was fundamentally unable to sense it .
Right now, he was saying all this to make Long Chen submit to him . He wanted to take Long Chen’s treasures for himself .
Although he could win against Long Chen, he might lose out on his treasures . If he pushed Long Chen too far and gave him no hope, Long Chen might destroy his secrets and kill himself .
So he was not only breaking Long Chen’s hope step by step and fracturing his Dao-heart, but he was also giving him enticement .
After all, he came from the Pill Tower . In his eyes, the Pill Tower was a supreme existence, while others were ants . He thought anyone would treat joining the Pill Tower as the glory of a lifetime .
But Dan Chu gradually became more and more shocked . Long Chen’s spiritual yuan was clearly growing weaker and weaker, but he was unable to exhaust that final little bit that Long Chen had left .
Once Long Chen had no more spiritual yuan, he would be Dan Chu’s prisoner and could be taken away .
Right now, he didn’t dare to suddenly unleash his full power . He wanted Long Chen to completely exhaust himself to the point that he didn’t even have the power to kill himself .
“Long Chen, as long as you swear your loyalty to me, I definitely won’t kill you . Following me will be your life’s glory . It’ll be a hundred times better than whatever life the Xuantian Dao Sect can give you . ”
Right now, Long Chen had descended into silence, delighting Dan Chu . Although he made his voice sound grave, he couldn’t conceal all his excitement .
He thought Long Chen’s confidence was starting to be rattled . So he directly gave him his promise . But in truth, this promise was no different than a fart .
So what if he swore he wouldn’t kill Long Chen? This was a con that could not be more overused . Couldn’t he just tell someone else to kill Long Chen and that wouldn’t be breaking his promise?
Long Chen stared at Dan Chu without saying a word, seeming to be hesitating but unable to make a decision .
“No problem . You can slowly consider it . I’ll give you enough time,” said Dan Chu .
Long Chen’s expression didn’t change, but he was delighted inside . Enough time? Good, those were exactly the words he had been waiting to hear .
Dan Chu’s cultivation base was at the ninth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging . He was a rank eight Celestial and in control of the thirty-sixth ranked Earth Flame .
However, Dan Chu would never have imagined that there would be someone capable of controlling fire to the point that they would not only be able to resist his flames, but would even be able to extract his spiritual yuan from those flames without him even sensing it .
