Chapter 840: People Die For Money, And Birds Die For Food

“Me? How could I be so bold? Brother Lu, you’re too cautious. Don’t worry. Just watch...” Wei Junzi said sheepishly.

Lu Zhou did not respond and looked at the three flying chariots in the air.

The negotiations between the three forces caused the atmosphere in the Sky Wheel Rift Valley to be oppressive and tense.

At this moment, Wei Junzi said with a smile, “How could it be good if they don’t fight among themselves? Let me tell you a secret; there’s another Birth Chart Beast in this Sky Wheel Rift Valley...”

“There’s another Birth Chart Beast?” Lu Zhou was moved by these words.

At this moment, the three large forces did not dare to act recklessly because they could not be sure there was another Birth Chart Beast.

Lu Zhou had deliberately left the Yong’s life heart to cause internal strife between these people. After all, there was no doubt the life heart of a Birth Chart Beast would draw all the heavyweights of the cultivation world here. However, he did not expect there to be another Birth Chart Beast here.

“The Sky Martial Court is too strong. The True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect are overestimating their strength. In fact, it’s best for them to just accept the Sky Martial Court’s offer. However, what do you think will happen if they know there’s another Birth Chart Beast in the Sky Wheel Rift Valley?”

Lu Zhou frowned. Even if there were two life hearts from two Birth Chart Beasts, he knew the Sky Martial Court would want both life hearts. However, the other two forces definitely will be dissatisfied. Even if the Sky Martial Court decided only to take one life heart, the balance between the three forces would be broken.

“You plan to break this balance?” Lu Zhou asked Wei Junzi without blinking.

“This is the reason I asked you to follow me here.” Wei Junzi brought a small green bottle from the inner pocket near his chest before he continued to say, “This is a pill that fakes vitality energy. It will take effect in a short time, and the ‘vitality energy’ would immediately attach itself to the user...”

Wei Junzi continued to explain, “This fake vitality energy is actually a smell-based potion. Beasts won’t be able to discern the real thing from the fake so they would definitely be attracted to this fake vitality energy.”

Following that, Wei Junzi handed the small green bottle to Lu Zhou and said, “So... Brother Lu, I’ll have to trouble you.”

Lu Zhou asked with a slight frown, “You want this old man to be bait?”

“Or else?” Wei Junzi spread his hands out with a helpless expression on his face. “Among the three of us, you’re the most suitable....Of the three of us, only you are the most suitable. Moreover, don’t refer to yourself as an old man; you’re really not that old. Why would you call yourself an old man?”

Nevertheless, Lu Zhou took the green bottle.

Wei Junzi continued to say, “Previously, I’ve investigated this valley. When we fight, you can open this bottle. At the end of the day, what treasure you manage to obtain will depend on your luck. What do you think?”

“You can open the bottle yourself. Why do you need me to do it?”

“The Birth Chart Beast is too powerful; I don’t have the courage to do such a thing,” Wei Junzi replied. As soon as he finished speaking, he removed the barrier.

Subsequently, he made a soft shushing noise and waved his hand, indicating they should be silent lest they alert the people in the flying chariots of their presence. His expression clearly said that if they were exposed, all of them would die together.

Lu Zhou remained silent and continued observing the situation in the air instead.

...

In the red flying chariot, Yu Chenshu said calmly, “Humans should not have too big of an appetite like a snake that intends to devour an elephant. Does the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect even have a desolate-grade weapon?”

The person in the True Kunlun Sect’s flying chariot replied, “Court Master Yu, you worry too much. I’m sure it won’t be difficult for us to obtain at least one desolate-grade weapon. Moreover, I’m certain your Sky Martial Court isn’t lacking in desolate-grade weapons.”

The person from the Void Sect chimed in as well, “Court Master Yu, two aren’t too little, and three aren’t too much... We’re talking about the life heart of a Birth Chart Beasts. Please consider this matter carefully.” The person did not conceal the mockery in his tone when he spoke.

However, how could these super elites fight just because of one or two sentences?

“Two desolate-grade weapons each. This is my final offer.” Yu Chenshu’s voice drifted out from the red flying chariot.

“Alright.” The person from the Void Sect agreed first.

However, at this moment, the beam of light suddenly disappeared.

The three cultivators from the Crimson Sun Sect looked at the same time.

Then, Sun Jie shouted, “Seniors, don’t let that person escape!”

A calm voice rang from the red flying chariot. “He won’t be able to escape.”

Subsequently, two figures flew out from the red flying chariot and dove into the valley.

Two people flew out of the red sedan and dived into the valley.

“Mo Buyan? Jian Tingzhong?”

Sure enough, Yu Chenshu was not the only one from the Sky Martial Court who came here.

Meanwhile, the two elders from the Sky Martial Court moved at lightning speed.

The sound of resonance of avatars being manifested rang throughout the valley.

The beast scampered away, and the birds took flight immediately from the disturbance. At the same time, the trees were flattened.

Meanwhile, Feng Zihe, who was holding the life heart, hurried deeper into the valley. He could not allow the three forces to come to a peaceful agreement after all. If that happened, he would surely die! Only by taking advantage of the chaos could he escape. If he was lucky, he would be able to escape not only with his life intact but with the life heart as well.

Feng Zihe’s eyes widened when he looked up and saw the two avatars flying in the sky. Then, he looked at the three flying chariots resentfully and muttered to himself, “The Sky Martial Court is really useless. They didn’t even bother to fight and attempted to negotiate instead. Yu Chenshu is really magnanimous...”

Among the elites in the Sky Martial Court, Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong were the strongest Nine-leaf elites.

Meanwhile, the trio from the Crimson Sun Sect was dumbfounded as they watched the scene unfolding before them. They were Nine-leaf cultivators as well, but the difference between their strength and Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong’s strength was like heaven and earth!

Each of the elders from the Sky Martial Court wielded a desolate-grade weapon; a hook and a saber. They did not hesitate to destroy the valley just to search for Feng Zihe.

It really had to be said that the foundation of the Sky Martial Court was really strong. Even elders possessed a desolate-grade weapon each. No wonder Yu Chenshu readily agreed to part with four desolate-grade weapons, giving two desolate-grade weapons each to the two forces, in exchange for the life heart.

At this moment, Feng Zihe’s voice rang from the depths of the valley, “If anyone comes over, I won’t hesitate to jump into the valley’s abyss!”

Jian Tingzhong and Mo Buyan stopped in their tracks as they looked ahead.

In the end, Mo Buyan said, “Hand over the life heart, and I’ll spare your life.”

“No! I risked my life to obtain the life heart. Why should I give it to you?” Feng Zihe replied defiantly.

“You’re seeking death!”

Just as the duo from the Sky Martial Court was about to make a move, Yu Chenshu, who was still sitting in the red flying chariot, raised his hand and said, “Hold on.”

Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong were naturally obedient and no longer moved.

Yu Chenshu calmly asked Feng Zihe, “What do you want?”

Feng Zihe sneered, “What can you give me?”

“A flood-grade weapon?”

Silence descended in the valley immediately,

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Yu Chenshu’s magnanimity and determination to obtain the life heart far exceeded everyone’s expectations. He was actually willing to give up a flood-grade weapon!

One had to know, the value of a flood-grade weapon in the hands of a Nine-leaf expert far exceeded the value of a life heart!

Was there anyone who would not be tempted by such an offer? However, would Yu Chenshu really keep his words and hand over a flood-grade weapon after he had obtained the life heart?

Feng Zihe scoffed before he said, “You think you can trick me? If anyone dares to come any closer, I’ll throw the life heart into the abyss. No one would be able to obtain it at that time!”

Yu Chenshu frowned. Things were truly complicated and ever-changing. After he thought he had successfully dealt with the people from the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect, this person suddenly appeared to complicate matters.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou, who was still hiding, frowned. ‘Hey, hey, I’m the one who obtained the life heart and intentionally left it there. How can I really lose the life heart?’

At this moment, Wei Junzi suddenly said, “I’m sorry!”

Without any explanation, Wei Junzi took out another green bottle and smashed it against a stone.

When Lu Zhou turned around, he discovered Wei Junzi possessed more than one green bottle.

Crash!

A loud noise rang in the air as the green bottle smashed against the stone.

Naturally, the noise did not escape the attention of the powerhouses in the sky.

“Who’s sneaking around?” A voice rang from within the Void Sect’s flying chariot.

Needless to say, Wei Junzi had already expected to be exposed once he threw the green bottle. He only waved at Lu Zhou and said, “Till we meet again!”

Lu Zhou raised his right hand. His fingers glowed as he grabbed Wei Junzi’s shoulder. “You dare to scheme against me with such petty tricks?”

Wei Junzi’s expression changed drastically. He could inexplicably sense the danger in the glowing fingers. After all, he had moved at lightning speed to flee, and yet, he was easily caught by Lu Zhou’s glowing fingers.

Lu Zhou turned back to have a look before he pushed his hand out.

Bang!

With just a strike, Lu Zhou destroyed their cover. Just like that, he, Wei Junzi, and his companions were completely exposed.

Wei Junzi’s eyes widened in shock and fear. “Y-you... You... You... Why are you doing this? Hurry up and let me go!”

Meanwhile, everyone’s attention was focused on Lu Zhou, Wei Junzi, and his companion.

From the Sky Martial Court’s flying chariot, someone said in surprise, “Wei Junzi? Why are you here?”

“This is a misunderstanding. Truly! I’m just here to watch the show. Don’t mind me. Please continue with what you were doing...” Wei Junzi hurriedly said. However, how could he leave? He was firmly grabbed by Lu Zhou.

Following that, everyone shifted their attention to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou looked up at the three flying chariots and said, “The Sky Martial Court is really wealthy and generous. Since you want the life heart, why don’t you compensate me as well?”

Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong frowned immediately.

Wei Junzi gave Lu Zhou a thumbs-up and said, “You’re really awesome. You even dare to demand something from the Sky Martial Court!”

Contrary to everyone’s expressions, Yu Chenshu, who was sitting in the red flying chariot, said casually, “Everyone who’s present today will be compensated. Since you want it, I’ll give you a heaven-grade weapon.”

“...”

The Sky Martial Court truly lived up to its reputation. They were rich and generous!

Wei Junzi who had heard these words felt that it was a good offer.

However, at this moment, Lu Zhou’s voice resounded loudly, “It’d be best if it’s a flood-grade weapon...”

Wei Junzi. “???”
