Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 153: Cast a Wide Net and Wait for Fish

“This is hard to say…” Chu Yang replied with much difficulty. “You have to understand, Iron Cloud City has hundreds of thousands of people, with five major districts. The noble districts are somewhat manageable, but the impoverished areas are like a chaotic sea. Even if a thousand people go in, it would be like fish returning to the ocean or a tiger entering the deep mountains. Finding them will likely require mobilizing the entire city, both military and civilian, conducting a thorough search. The manpower and resources needed would be astronomical…”

“If we can find this person, I can represent the Dark Demon Clan and promise you one thing!” The Blade King quickly interrupted him. If this Chu Imperial Seat kept talking, the entire Dark Demon Clan would end up doing hard labor to settle this account…

“Alas, senior, you are mistaken. I am not someone who seeks to repay kindness with vengeance,” Chu Yang replied, displeased. “That remark greatly underestimates me.”

The Blade King felt frustrated, thinking to himself, this guy is already asking for a lion's share, and yet he’s still not someone who seeks to repay kindness…

Chu King of Hell’s eyes turned, and he swiftly changed the topic, adopting a serious demeanor. “However, Iron Cloud is currently beset by both internal and external troubles; it is truly on shaky ground. The Great Zhao Golden Horse Knights Hall is eyeing my Butian Pavilion with malice, and the Golden Horse Knights Hall has a king level expert stationed there. This… is quite difficult to handle…”

“Are you asking us to help you deal with the Golden Horse Knights Hall?” The Blade King was taken aback. “That won’t do!” He felt somewhat exasperated; the previous sentence was all about noble righteousness, and now he starts to complain.

“No, no, no, that’s not it.” Chu Imperial Seat said with clever calculation. “However, in the near future, the Golden Horse Knights Hall will definitely take action against my Butian Pavilion. The number of people coming won’t be many, at most just a dozen. Senior, you only need to help me deal with these individuals.”

“Only a dozen people, huh… that’s more like it.” The Blade King pondered for a moment, feeling this matter was feasible. Just by killing a dozen secular officials or ordinary experts, if he could exchange that for the life of a Mo Family throne, it was a big deal.

“Then, has the senior agreed?” Chu Imperial Seat pressed on, eager to solidify this matter.

“Agreed!” After weighing the pros and cons, the Blade King finally made his decision.

“Senior, you are truly benevolent! Rescuing the people from calamity, turning the tide of disaster; with lofty righteousness, a chivalrous heart, Chu admires you greatly! The six million citizens of Iron Cloud are all grateful for your great virtue!” Chu Imperial Seat was somewhat emotional. Finally, after worrying for so long, this issue was finally resolved…

“Rest assured! While we cannot help you directly deal with the entire Golden Horse Knights Hall, if they send people here, I can guarantee this: Let them come and go as they please! One comes, one dies; two come, one pair dies!” The Blade King declared generously.

Chu Yang laughed heartily and said, “Exactly! Senior’s might is unparalleled. Even if the Golden Horse Knights Hall sends hundreds of people, they can only end up with hundreds of spirit tablets!”

“Hundreds of people? Didn’t you just say a dozen?” The Blade King frowned.

“What I meant was… this batch of people…” Chu Yang sighed deeply. “Who knows if they’ll send one or ten or even hundreds… this is hard to calculate.”

The Blade King was furious! Just moments ago, this guy said ‘at most a dozen,’ and now in the blink of an eye, he multiplied it by ten… and it was still not fixed!

Is this still a human mouth? Just flipping his lips, he can say anything. One moment it was black, the next it was white…
