“I would never deceive you,” Li Tongtian said with a kind smile, his eyes warm and smug, like a weasel that had caught a chicken. “Brother Zi, I am a sixth rank supreme who has crossed the boundary between immortal and mortal! Do you think it’s possible for someone of my standing to deceive you?”
Chu Yang hurriedly replied, “I am honored! Time itself could never deceive me, it’s absolutely impossible.”
“Hahaha…” A sharp glint flashed in Li Tongtian’s eyes. “You see, you’re in my hands now. Threatening you with life and death, or using other means to make you submit… this shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
Chu Yang quickly agreed, looking as if he was utterly terrified, drenched in sweat, “Not difficult at all!”
Li Tongtian nodded in satisfaction. “But I will still give you a chance to cooperate… hmm?”
Chu Yang was overjoyed and said, “As long as your family can offer some fairness and keep your promises, what’s a little effort from my Purple Sky Smoke?”
With a hearty laugh, Li Tongtian said, “Exactly! Our family needs to develop, and your family needs to survive… We can provide you with the greatest help! And you can help us, solving our problems… wouldn’t that be great for both of us? As long as we clarify the interests first and then work together sincerely, it’s much better than scheming against each other, right?”
Chu Yang laughed heartily, “Old Li is indeed a person who accomplishes great things!”
Li Tongtian smiled slightly, maintaining a reserved demeanor. “However, what you’re saying is merely your side of the story. I need to verify it before I feel comfortable recommending you to the family.”
He lifted his head slightly and said, “I need to see your abilities.”
Chu Yang, filled with confidence, asked, “How would you like to see?”
Li Tongtian lightly tapped the table with his fingers and said seriously, “What can you show me?”
Chu Yang responded enthusiastically, “Whatever you want to see, I can show you!”
“Good!” Li Tongtian clapped his hands. “As long as you can find a nearby Amethyst mine for me, I will believe you!
Chu Yang suddenly grew angry, “There’s no Amethyst mine nearby at all. The only large Amethyst mine is three hundred miles northwest of here. Where do you expect me to find it?”
Li Tongtian was taken aback, looking at him, pondering: If it’s three hundred miles northwest, wouldn’t that bring us to the Li family?
This kid is not simple at all.
“If it weren’t for your Li family occupying the main vein of the Amethyst mine, why would I risk the danger of being struck by heavenly thunder to chop at this Wind Thunder Platform?” Chu Yang complained, still fuming.
Li Tongtian pondered for a moment and said, “In that case, there’s no time to waste, let’s return to the family immediately!”
Without hesitation, the six supreme beings abandoned their tents and surrounded Chu Yang, rushing toward the northwest direction at lightning speed.
Behind them, Li Donghai and others looked miserable. “Should we continue monitoring here or withdraw… can you just give us a word…”
……
Li Family!
Chu Yang arrived in the northwest region for the first time, and it was also his first encounter with the renowned Li family. From a distance, he was already astonished. As he approached, he felt even more overwhelmed!
The grandeur of the Li family was entirely different from the Zhuge family situated on flat land!
He saw a whole mountain range filled with houses and towering pavilions, sprawling like a giant dragon across the entire mountain!
Everywhere there were terraces and pavilions, everywhere there were intricately carved beams and painted rafters!
Naturally, it exuded a majestic aura, like a fierce tiger roaring in the valley, dominating the world; just looking at the architectural style was already imposing!
At the mountain entrance, a massive stone was carved through, forming a grand gate! Above it, a magnificent carving of a divine dragon flew majestically, looking very formidable!
