714 Marquis Wugu Striking Ou (1/2)
”Kill me? Do you think it will be so easy? If that was the case, I would have been killed a long time ago, instead of being sealed here!” The divine thought of the Primordial Demon revealed an extremely chilly sensation. ”They failed to kill me, you, of course, will fail as well. Though I find your spirit quite strange, you're actually several ranks below the level that can kill me, my son!”
”Right, that's what I thought too. If the emperors from antiquity times could not kill you but was only able to suppress you, how could I do you in so easily!”
”Now that you're clear about that, why did you come here?”
”To find out what you are like. I'm just curious!” Zhou Bao gave a nonchalant smile. ”But now that I've seen you, my curiosity has been completely satisfied!”
”Are you leaving?”
”Do you really think you'll be able to keep me here?”
”I can't force you to stay. You have several kinds of mysterious powers, and each of them is not inferior to mine. Although your power has not matured yet, I'm already unable to force you to do anything!” The Primordial Demon answered candidly. ”But if I were you, I would stay and listen to what this demon is going to tell me. Perhaps you'll find my words pretty helpful!”
”Primordial Demon, is that the tone you use when trying to lure others?”
”For those lacking strength and a strong willpower, this is a lure. But to you, a powerful man with unimaginable potential, this is a deal!”
”You want to make a deal with me?”
”I can see that you're young and capable; you have great potential, so making a deal with a guy like you will certainly benefit me a lot in the future!”
”I don't want to do so. Dealing with a demon is never a good thing for us innocent guys!” Zhou Bao smiled and resolutely declined the proposal of this Primordial Demon.
”I can offer you exorbitant profits that are beyond your imagination!” This Primordial Demon did not seem to care about Zhou Bao's refusal. Many people turned him down initially, but in the end, none of them were able to resist the temptation.
However, this time, after his divine thought had been sent out for quite a while, there was no response, as if Zhou Bao had already disappeared from the place.
About one hour later, he finally withdrew his divine thought. There was a curious light flickering in his eyes.
”He's gone. So decisive! What an interesting boy! But I know what you're playing at. You're taking one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow. You'll come back. And when you return, you'll be much easier to persuade. Hee hee, mankind, no matter how clever you are, your natural disposition is hard to change. This applies to all those human emperors in ancient ages, and it applies to you, too!”
...
The area sandwiched between the various sects and the Dark Sect was quite large and spacious. There were 20 vast planets in this area, all of which had creatures living on them, was suitable for practice, and above all, had an abundance of minerals. Therefore, those planets bred all sorts of entangling influences, with different sects and the Dark Sect taking charge behind the scenes. Among those planets, there was one Trading Star, which was way more prosperous than Cumulus Star, and its name was Hidden Dragon Star.
Zhou Bao was on this Hidden Dragon Star at this moment.
He left the Primordial Demon in a hurry. Actually, he did not know why he decided to storm off when the Primordial Demon was enticing him with lucrative offers. It was just a gut feeling. This feeling told him that if he were to listen to what the Primordial Demon had to offer, he would not be able to withstand the temptation. In this case, it was better to leave.
But after he left the central area of the Infinite Star Sea, he started regretting his decision.
”Even if I make a deal with him, so what? I can just rake in some profits first!” As he sat still mulling over his decision, feeling an urge to head back to the Infinite Star Sea, suddenly a thunderous boom sounded and gave him a great shock.
”What the hell? Has doomsday arrived? Did the universe explode?”
