Ch 706: Three Conditions
“What do you think?”
By the end, a hint of helplessness was in the Demon City Lord’s gaze.
As the City Lord of Moluo City, he wasn’t idle every day; instead, he had many matters to handle.
He hadn’t expected to be outsmarted by a small Human Race Cultivator.
But he didn’t have that much time to spend with Li Hanzhou.
He could only negotiate a deal with the other party, temporarily gaining their trust. Otherwise, he feared he would never obtain that Cultivation Method.
Upon hearing this, Li Hanzhou pondered for a moment, then said, “What do you want me to steal?”
He also felt that continuing like this wasn’t a solution.
Since the other party had laid their cards on the table, he might as well listen to what they had to say.
“There’s a city adjacent to my Moluo City called Blood Prison City. I have a grudge with Bageru, the City Lord of Blood Prison City. For hundreds of years, Bageru and I have clashed countless times, but Bageru possesses an Immortal Treasure that he uses to save his life. Every time I’m about to kill him, that treasure allows him to escape.”
“You only need to steal that Immortal Treasure.”
The Demon City Lord stated straightforwardly.
He had originally planned to send Li Hanzhou to the Asura Arena after capturing him.
But he hadn’t expected the other party to be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, Li Hanzhou’s thieving skills were unparalleled; even he, a Six-Star Demon, hadn’t noticed when the Cultivation Method vanished without anyone knowing.
If Li Hanzhou were to steal his bitter enemy’s Immortal Treasure, it would surely be easy for him.
In this way, his bitter enemy would be without their life-saving Immortal Treasure, and under his attack, the other party would certainly not escape death.
“Okay, but I also have conditions.”
Li Hanzhou nodded in agreement without hesitation. Stealing an Immortal Treasure was simple enough; as long as it was in the other party’s Storage Bag, he had a chance. It was extremely easy for him.
“State them.”
The Demon City Lord said, unsurprisingly.
After this series of chases, he had discovered that Li Hanzhou was very shrewd and not easily fooled. That was why he chose to make a deal with him.
“I have three conditions.”
Li Hanzhou pondered for a moment, then said.
“First, you need to order the release of all the Yaohua Immortal Sect Cultivators, allowing them to leave the Asura Arena, and you cannot harm them after their release.”
“Second, I need you to kill someone for me.”
“And third, I want you to tell me how to leave this world.”
The Demon City Lord frowned upon hearing this.
He felt that this kid was truly greedy. He had only proposed one condition, but the other party had directly proposed three. This was treating him like a donkey pulling a millstone.
However, things had come to this point; if he didn’t agree, he would probably never get his Cultivation Method back.
So the Demon City Lord nodded and frankly said, “I can agree to the first two conditions, but the third one is completely unreasonable.”
“Because I simply can’t do it. If I could leave this world, I would have left already.”
Hearing this,
Li Hanzhou thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Fine, then just those two conditions.”
The Demon City Lord’s words made sense; he shouldn’t be lying.
After all, Green Jade had previously said that the reason the Demon World appeared in the Immortal Tomb was because immortals were constantly suppressing these demons using their corpses.
Zhao Lianzhen of the Yaohua Immortal Sect had done him a kindness, so he had to find a way to rescue her; saving the other Yaohua Immortal Sect Cultivators was just a bonus.
As for the person to be killed, it was naturally Moon Howling Old Ancestor.
Moon Howling Old Ancestor was a Body Integration Stage Cultivator; he couldn’t defeat him, so this was a good opportunity to eliminate this greatest danger.
After reaching a consensus, Li Hanzhou and the Demon City Lord immediately signed a Contract.
Immediately afterward, a wisp of Divine Soul Aura flew from each of their foreheads, hovering in mid-air, finally intertwining to form a profoundly mysterious Imprint, which was then split into two parts and flew back into the foreheads of each.
At the moment the Contract was formed, both Li Hanzhou and the Demon City Lord felt a faint connection between them.
This connection served as a reminder that the Contract was in effect.
It also warned them that if they dared to go back on their word, or if the Contract wasn’t completed, they would certainly bear a terrible Price.
However, neither of them worried; instead, they both breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
The Demon City Lord looked towards Li Hanzhou’s location and calmly said, “You don’t need to hide in your shell anymore. Now that the Contract is in effect, even if you appear before me openly, I can’t do anything to you.”
“As for your first request, you can go and get them yourself later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his Figure disappeared on the spot.
After the Demon City Lord vanished, Li Hanzhou’s Figure also appeared in this world.
“Finally, I don’t have to keep running.”
He looked towards Moluo City; surely, the Demon City Lord was preparing to release Zhao Lianzhen and the others.
At the same time.
Asura Arena.
Zhao Lianzhen and the other Yaohua Immortal Sect Cultivators were gathered in a corner of the Prison Cell.
“Martial Uncle, was doing that really effective?”
A Yaohua Immortal Sect Disciple looked at Zhao Lianzhen with a questioning gaze and said.
A long time had passed since they emptied their Storage Bags, leaving only the Spirit Heart Fruit.
And after that, a miraculous scene occurred.
The Spirit Heart Fruit in their Storage Bags began to disappear one after another; a total of six disappeared.
But besides that, nothing else happened.
Zhao Lianzhen heard this and didn’t know how to answer.
She knew that the Spirit Heart Fruit suddenly disappearing must be Li Hanzhou’s doing, but she still didn’t understand his intentions.
So she could only remain silent.
At this time, a Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator from Moon Howling Sect couldn’t help but speak, “I shouldn’t have listened to you. It’s one thing that the Spirit Heart Fruit in my Storage Bag disappeared for no reason, but where’s the chance to escape?”
As soon as these words were spoken,
Everyone turned their doubtful gazes towards Zhao Lianzhen.
If Zhao Lianzhen hadn’t been with them in the Prison Cell the whole time, they would have thought she was colluding with the demons to play them.
They felt like fools; not only was there no effect, but the Spirit Heart Fruit they had worked so hard to obtain inexplicably disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lianzhen lowered her eyes, not knowing how to refute.
However, at that moment,
A sharp voice suddenly rang out from outside the Prison Cell.
“What’s all the noise? I see you were very loud and energetic just now, so how about you compete in tomorrow’s Match?”
