Chapter 1563 Death Announcement (1)
Shang Zhang only smiled faintly as he said arrogantly, “Even if I rob the target from you, what can you do?”
“You!” Zhu Yong was naturally furious, but he suppressed his fury. Then, he asked coldly, “You’re going to bully me with your strength?”
“I naturally would rather not do that. However, if you insist on being difficult, what other choice do I have?” Shang Zhang said. Then, he pointed at Conch before he continued to say, “Why don’t you ask her who she’s willing to follow?”
Zhu Yong did not like this. After all, Great Void had always done things without considering the opinions of ants. However, when he thought about how the ant in front of him would grow into an elephant in the future, he agreed readily, “Alright.”
Shang Zhang and Zhu Yong looked at Conch in unison.
Shang Zhang said with a smile, “Girl, there’s a difference between a divine emperor and a divine king. Are you willing to follow me?”
Shang Zhang’s words were direct and blunt.
Anyone with a rational mind would definitely choose to follow a divine emperor, who was stronger than a divine king. How could Zhu Yong not know this?
Zhu Yong was furious, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said, “Girl, if you follow me, the position of the Master of Zhu Yong Hall will eventually be given to you!” Then, as though he was afraid it was not enough, he added, “Although I’m a little harsh, I only had a sharp tongue. In fact, I have a soft heart. If you follow him, I’m afraid you won’t have a good ending.”
Shang Zhang only glanced at Zhu Yong before he said, “If you follow me, I’ll give you the position of Master of Shang Zhang Hall.”
The Great Void’s cultivators were shocked. It was clear how important the Great Void Seed
was.
Many years ago, before the land split, there was a huge internal strife in the Great Void. The compet.i.tion between the ten halls was very intense. Moreover, Ming Xin had founded the Sacred Temple, unwilling to stay in any of the ten halls because he wanted to be above everyone else. He did not interfere with the conflicts between the ten halls to keep the balance. It was also a way to retain his position and control.
For example, when a huge number of Silver Guards of Tu Wei Hall was killed by Xuanyi Hall’s Dark Guards, Ming Xin did not care either.
Needless to say, the compet.i.tion between the ten halls extended to the Great Void Seeds. After all, the owner of the Great Void Seed would undoubtedly become a supreme being. Such a person would be a great help to any of the halls.
Everyone looked at Conch, waiting for her answer.
Conch bluntly said, “I won’t follow anyone.”
Zhu Yong smiled. “Very good. Then, we’ll do it according to the original rule: finders keepers.”
Conch was speechless. “Who do you think you are? Why should I go with you?”
Zhu Yong said, “You have no other choice.”
Conch widened her eyes in anger. Her expression was like that of Little Yuan’er’s as she said, “Despicable!”
At this moment, Qi Sheng, who had been hovering silently for a long time, finally said, “Miss, can you listen to me?”
Zhu Yong looked over and said, “It’s not your place to intervene in the matters between the ten halls.”
Shang Zhang seized the chance and said, “How can you talk down to the new Hall Commander of Tu Wei Hall and the future Master of the Tu Wei Hall?”
Zhu Yong was slightly surprised by this. He said, “As it turns out, you’re Qi Sheng.”
Qi Sheng ignored Zhu Yong. Instead, he looked at Conch and said, “You have nowhere to run. I can promise you that no one will harm your friend or your life. If you refuse, I’ll respect your decision. However, you’ll have to think about the consequences of doing
so.”
Shang Zhang and Zhu Yong were slightly startled by Qi Sheng’s words. With these words, they naturally knew what choice Conch would make. With their wisdom and experience, it was in fact not difficult for them to think of this method to deal with Conch. However, they had been in high positions for a long time and had forgotten how to think from the perspective of an ant. No human had ever thought about the life and death of an ant.
Qi Sheng’s method was undoubtedly the best method.
As expected, Conch was moved. She was not stupid. She knew she could not escape today. Finally, she asked Qi Sheng, “How can I trust
you?”
Qi Sheng glanced at Shang Zhang before he said, “The Great Void has always valued promises. Moreover, how could an emperor renege on his promise?”
Shang Zhang cooperated with Qi Sheng and added, “That’s right. I’m a man of my word.”
Zhu Yong, who could tell the situation was not favorable to him, called out, “Wait.”
“Do you have a problem?” “Emperor Shang Zhang, I found her first. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to do this?” Zhu Yong asked.
Without waiting for Shang Zhang to speak, Qi Sheng said, “King Zhu Yong, you’re wrong.” “Hm?”
“I’d like to ask why you want her?” Qi Sheng asked.
“Of course, it’s for my use!” Zhu Yong replied.
“Is this your att.i.tude when recruiting talents? Put this girl aside, I think whoever you’re trying to recruit will refuse you when you try to kill their friends in front of them. You’re not recruiting talents; you’re making enemies.”
“How dare you!” Zhu Yong said.
“You’re not interested in her. You just want to seize the Great Void Seed. However, you’re already a supreme being. You have no use for the seed, right?” Qi Sheng said.
Everyone was stunned by Qi Sheng’s words before they turned to look at Zhu Yong.
Some things could not stand being scrutinized. After being scrutinized, many problems would surface.
How could a person like Zhu Yong not know the way to recruit talents? However, he openly showed his vile att.i.tude and completely disregarded Conch’s wish. It was obvious he had other plans that had nothing to do with recruiting Conch as a talent.
At this time, Shang Zhang said, “If you want to become a divine emperor, you have to rely on your talent and comprehension skills, not the Great Void Seed. Zhu Yong, with your state of mind, you’re destined never to become a divine emperor.”
