Chapter 418: Winning and Compromising (2/2)

The island fell into total silence. After an unknown period of time, a helpless sigh finally sounded.

”Distinguished guests, please forgive me for not greeting you long before you arrived at my door!” As this voice rang in, the grey smoke that Zhou Bao with his burning Gang Qi started falling slowly. It tenaciously entered the red light that filled up the sky.

Zhou Bao gave a smile and the surrounding red light faded. Then, nine Fire Dragons and shadows of the two real dragons went back into his Gang Qi as if nothing had happened.

The sky was still blue, the water was still green, and white clouds were still floating in the air as it had been. The Tusk Island returned to what it was like before when it was wrapped in grey smoke, except for the fact that the smoke stopped pestering the Void Traveller and the men on it, as though it had lost its intelligence. The smoke gradually fell downwards, and soon all of the smoke surrounding the island had dispersed itself like mist, unveiling a passageway in front of the Void Traveller. It led to the island.

With a subtle flash, Zhou Bao had already returned to the Void Traveller. He glanced at the appalled face of Yu Nantian and said, ”Young Master Yu, we may enter. The owner has allowed us to have a short rest here!”

”Oh! I see.” Yu Nantian suddenly came to himself. He shot a look at Zhou Bao, tapped on the gunwale, and the Void Traveller flew along the passageway in front of them and went into Tusk Island.

The Tusk Island looked not much different than the one they had seen from outside. It was just that the island was encircled by some objects, so they could not have a clear view of it when they were from a distance. Now, they had a clearer view.

People on the Void Traveller all stayed very quiet. Only Great Dark Lord Du walked in front of Zhou Bao and surveyed him. He beamed and said, ”Well, well, well, one is never too young to be a hero! You, a leopard, truly have the power to engulf the whole world!”

”The power to engulf the whole world?”

Zhou Bao smiled and hastened to deny this as he waved his hands. ”Great Dark Lord Du, please stop making fun of me. I don't have many merits. I just deal with all the things with my brutal force. I can't even swallow down this little island before your eyes! How could you say things like engulfing the whole world? ”

”Hahaha, actually, you can swallow the whole world, it's just that you don't want to!” Great Dark Lord Du simpered. ”Comparing with you, those so-called teen heroes and talents are all dumbasses! Prodigies, outstanding persons, or whatever they are called, they all look like a joke now. No wonder Ye Qingtian, who even got his fairy weapon with him, still fell at your hand. It's because you do have such power!”

How honest those words were! Maybe too honest to please the others. Thus, many people had taken those words as an insinuation.

For example, Yu Nantian clenched his fists after hearing those words. He forced himself to operate his Internal Qi and stifle down his blood that was boiling with indignation.

”I'm not a prodigy at all, just had a bit of luck to learn directly from a predecessor!” Zhou Bao started sprouting nonsense. ”If it was not me but a pig that got this luck, its strength would also grow no less stronger. But you, Great Dark Lord Du, your Heavenly Devil Real Body is really eccentric. I reckon it's definitely not an ordinary Heavenly Devil. If you Dark Lord can infuse this Heavenly Devil Real Body within your body, perhaps you may break through the Individual Immortal Realm and upgrade to Genuine Immortal!”

Uh!

Hearing Zhou Bao's words, Great Dark Lord Du involuntarily narrowed his eyes. ”Hehe, what a sharp vision! I never thought that your knowledge could also be wider than normal people! You even recognized my Heavenly Devil Real Body!”

”Just heard about it by chance,” said Zhou Bao with a smile. He slightly nodded at Great Dark Lord Du and thought inwardly, ”You oldie, look, now I've already shifted the attention of Yu Nantian!”

Yu Nantian was a total newbie, which was precisely the most difficult kind to handle. Rumors had it that 70 or 80% of conflicts in Jianghu were incurred by impulse activities of newbies like Yu Nantian. Jealousy was only one way to trigger a bloody crime.

Just now, Great Dark Lord Du was praising Zhou Bao on the surface, but he was also somehow intentionally belittling Yu Nantian and Ji Yeyue. These two had been called prodigies and outstanding people since childhood, but now all their glory were overturned by one word of Great Dark Lord Du. Ji Yeyue might let this go, but Yu Nantian would certainly not. He was the kind of guy that you knew was not broad-minded at first glance. If you do not shift his attention to other matters, he may be driven by a rash impulse and pick on you. Then, it would be you who suffered loss, no?

Although Zhou Bao did not like Yu Nantian, he knew that now was not a good time for conflicts, and this kind of meaningless conflicts was exactly the thing he should prevent from happening.

This was also something that Zhou Bao did not want to see.

No matter what, this Yu Nantian might still be useful to him on some occasions, so he did not want to turn Yu Nantian against him.

The Void Traveller gradually landed on the Tusk Island. At first, Yu Nantian was still acting cautiously. But apparently, after Zhou Bao displayed his power, the owner of this Tusk Island had no intention to provoke such a troublemaker, so he did not make any more sabotages and allowed the Void Traveller to land on his island smoothly.
