#5049 - Agree to cooperate
“Bone Whip!”
Duanmu Yuan sensed the bone whip in Wang Yidao's hand, his expression somewhat grave.
He seemed to sense something from the bone whip.
Grasping the bone whip tightly, Wang Yidao said with a smile, “City Lord, this bone whip is named Emperor Bone Whip. I obtained it from a secret realm. Look at these bone segments on it; there are a full thousand pieces, all refined from the bones of a thousand Great Emperor experts.”
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of Duanmu Yuan and the other six changed completely.
Emperor Bone Whip!
Forged from the bones of a thousand Great Emperor experts, its very existence spoke volumes about the terror of this Emperor Bone Whip.
Duanmu Yuan said coldly, “Wang Yidao, you should know that even if you wield the Emperor Bone Whip, you are still no match for us. Do you think you can bridge the gap in cultivation?”
Wang Yidao nodded; he did not question the City Lord's words.
Even if he could rely on the Emperor Bone Whip to contend with the six elders of the City Lord's Mansion, could he still escape unscathed from the City Lord, a peak Dan Yun Heavenly Venerate?
But.
Wang Yidao still did not retreat half a step.
With the destruction of his family, he could not choose to give up on killing the true culprit.
No matter the cost, he would avenge his family.
“City Lord, how about you and I make a deal?”
“Tell me about it.”
“Regardless of the City Lord's previous intentions, as long as you are willing to help me kill Su Chen, then I can promise that I will unconditionally give you the Imperial Butterfly Blood and this Emperor Bone Whip.”
Upon hearing these words, Duanmu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, unable to resist such temptation.
An elder laughed and said, “Wang Yidao, are you joking with us? You should know that if we want to forcibly seize them, can you protect the Imperial Butterfly Blood and the Emperor Bone Whip?”
Without the slightest fear, Wang Yidao looked at the Emperor Bone Whip in his hand and said with a smile, “If I were to use my life as the price to activate this Emperor Bone Whip, although I would die, I am confident in taking the seven of you with me.”
“Are you threatening us?”
“Do you think we will believe your words?”
Shrugging helplessly, Wang Yidao said indifferently, “Believe it or not is up to you. If you don't believe it, you can try it. But I must remind everyone that once you try, there will be no turning back. At that time, we can only perish together.”
Waving his hand to stop the angry six elders.
Duanmu Yuan weighed the pros and cons, lowering his head and beginning to ponder.
Because he knew very well that Su Chen was not someone to be trifled with.
A person who could use formations to destroy the Wang family and kill Wang Jian was definitely not that simple.
It's just that.
Faced with the Emperor Bone Whip and the Imperial Butterfly Blood, Duanmu Yuan really couldn't resist such temptation.
“City Lord, if you are unwilling, I, Wang Yidao, will definitely not let it go. Su Chen will definitely die, and if anyone dares to stop me, I will kill them.”
Faced with Wang Yidao's threat, the six elders were all furious.
In the end.
Duanmu Yuan nodded and said, “Wang Yidao, I agree to your request, but the prerequisite is that you need to give me the Imperial Butterfly Blood and the Emperor Bone Whip.”
“Duanmu Yuan, do you think I will believe you?”
“What if you regret it after I kill Su Chen?”
Wang Yidao seemed to be able to guess what Duanmu Yuan was thinking and said, “You and I will sign an oath. If I violate the oath, you should know what the consequences will be.”
“Good.”
Hundred Venerable City.
The surface was calm, but in reality, there were turbulent waves.
Because with Wang Yidao taking out the Imperial Butterfly Blood, all the major families were eyeing Su Chen covetously. Although there was no animosity between them and Su Chen, the temptation of the Imperial Butterfly Blood was right there.
However, no one was willing to take the risk. They wanted to see what the situation was first. After all, one person told ten, and ten told a hundred. The entire Hundred Venerable City had already heard that the destruction of the Wang family was Su Chen's doing.
Inn.
“The City Lord is looking for me?”
“Yes, Father has already persuaded all the elders. They unanimously agreed and are willing to let you join the City Lord's Mansion and become a guest elder of the City Lord's Mansion, but you need to agree to a few conditions.”
Su Chen shook his head and said, “Miss Duanmu, I thank you for your kindness. Please go back and tell the City Lord that I am used to being free and unfettered, so I don't need to be a guest elder.”
Of course, he understood what was going on.
It seemed that Duanmu Qin must have been doing something behind the scenes. After all, all the elders of the City Lord's Mansion had clearly rejected him.
Since the City Lord's Mansion was unwilling, why should he rush to join them?
Duanmu Qin thought for a while and said, “Su Chen, you should know how troublesome the current situation is for you. Wang Yidao clearly wants to put you to death. If you can become a guest elder, at least the major families will be wary. Even if they want to attack, they will have to weigh the deterrence of the City Lord's Mansion.”
“I can guarantee that the conditions put forward by the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not harm your interests. You can go and listen. If the conditions put forward by Father and the elders are excessive, you can directly refuse.”
Su Chen, who originally wanted to refuse, looked at Duanmu Qin and sighed deeply in his heart. In the end, he nodded and said, “Then I will go and try.”
Su Chen also understood that his current situation was indeed very unfavorable. Wang Yidao was unwilling to give up, and even took out the Imperial Butterfly Blood. No one dared to guarantee whether these families would attack him.
If he could become a guest elder of the City Lord's Mansion, he could completely rely on the City Lord's Mansion to deter the major families. Just as Duanmu Qin said, if these families wanted to attack him, they would at least have to rely on the deterrence of the City Lord's Mansion.
Hearing that Su Chen was willing, Duanmu Qin was really pleasantly surprised. She had been persuading her father, but her father had always been unwilling to let go.
But for some reason, this time her father suddenly told her that he had already persuaded the elders and was willing to let Su Chen become a guest elder.
Being able to help Su Chen was definitely the best outcome. In this way, they could completely rely on the City Lord's Mansion to deter the major families, which could also be considered as helping Su Chen.
Duanmu Qin brought Su Chen to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the hall.
“Father, Su Chen is already willing to join our City Lord's Mansion and become a guest elder. Please state what conditions you want to offer.”
The six elders and eleven guest elders were all gathered in the hall. For some reason, Su Chen always felt that something was wrong with this matter. As for what was wrong, he really couldn't say.
Duanmu Yuan nodded and said, “Su Chen, three conditions. As long as you are willing to agree, I can let you become a guest elder of the City Lord's Mansion.”
“City Lord, please speak.”
Since he was here, he might as well stay and see what happens.
