Zhu Hai's sudden words made Lin Xiu speculate in his heart. This must be the reason why Yao Kun was willing to pay such a huge price to recruit him.
With Yao Kun's current status, it was naturally impossible for him to do everything by himself. Therefore, he desperately needed someone who had reached the peak of the Dao Enlightenment Realm to help him suppress the traitorous city.
And Lin Xiu's performance in the City Battle had also attracted Yao Kun's attention. He was only at the middle stage of the Dao Enlightenment Realm, yet he was able to burst out with such powerful combat strength. Moreover, he had his own unique insights in guiding people.
Such a talent naturally had to be firmly in his hands. If he was nurtured properly, Lin Xiu might be able to solve a lot of problems for Yao Kun.
Although Lin Xiu knew Yao Kun's plan, he had no intention of agreeing now.
To make him work for Yao Kun wholeheartedly, an existence in the Venerable Realm was far from enough. One must know that the owner of the inheritance that he obtained was a well-deserved ruler existence in the entire universe!
But Lin Xiu was currently in the Ancient Desolate World and did not have any foundation here. If he rashly rejected Yao Kun's good intentions and formed a feud with him, then it would also be a huge obstacle to his own cultivation.
Lin Xiu secretly pondered. As an overlord, Yao Kun must have an extremely huge amount of resources. If he could get enough benefits from him, then it might not be a bad idea to temporarily do some things for him.
Just like that, Lin Xiu and Zhu Hai talked for a long time until the moon gradually rose above the willow trees. Zhu Hai then bid farewell and left.
And Yao Kun finally returned to the Venerable Residence three days later.
As the newly recruited guest of the residence, Lin Xiu also came to the conference hall with many powerhouses and waited for Yao Kun's orders.
It could be seen that Yao Kun was in an extremely bad mood and there was a haze on his face.
And although the others did not find anything wrong with Yao Kun's aura, Lin Xiu was someone who cultivated the Star Technique after all. Of course, he could see that Yao Kun's aura was slightly weaker.
What did this mean? It meant that Yao Kun was actually seriously injured. Combining some of the information that the Zhang family head told him previously, Lin Xiu also knew that it was definitely the general under Yao Kun who fought head-on and Yao Kun did not get rid of him so easily.
As expected, Yao Kun had a thunderous expression on his face as he paced back and forth in the hall.
After a long time, he said to the powerhouses below, "Everyone, as guests of the Venerable Residence, is the most elite force under my command. At the same time, all of you should know that I trust all of you the most. All these years, apart from Lin Xiu who just joined, the majority of you have fought with me all over the place and made outstanding achievements in battle. Everyone is aware of Liu Cheng's betrayal. This traitor has secretly gathered many cities and wants to raise a flag to rebel. Moreover, his strength has improved extremely quickly. Even I am unable to take him down in a short period of time. "
All the experts in the surroundings exchanged glances with each other. They naturally knew of Liu Cheng. All those years ago, he was the strongest amongst these Foreign Elders. They'd never imagined that he'd actually smoothly broken through into the Exalt Realm after cultivating in seclusion for so many years. Moreover, he'd even secretly left Exalt City and concentrated on developing his own forces in the outside world.
They didn't expect Liu Cheng to be so powerful that even Yao Kun couldn't take him down in a short period of time. If they were to face Liu Cheng, wouldn't it bode ill for them?
Although they'd obtained a lot of benefits from Yao Kun, the most important thing for these powerhouses was their own lives. If they were to disregard their own safety for some small benefits, they wouldn't be able to reach this level today.
Seeing the expressions of the Foreign Elders below, Yao Kun snorted coldly and said again, "Although I didn't kill Liu Cheng directly, he's seriously injured and has less than 10% of his strength. I don't know where he's hiding to recuperate. I can clearly tell you today that Liu Cheng's strength is at most equivalent to the peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm. If you face him one on one, you should be able to protect yourselves. "
The powerhouses below obviously didn't believe him. No matter what, the other party was an existence that had reached the Venerable Realm. Even if he was seriously injured, he wasn't someone they could easily resist. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse and these people knew their limits.
Yao Kun was obviously furious at this moment. He really didn't expect his subordinates to be so afraid of death. His heart suddenly burned with anger and he scolded loudly, "I don't know why I raised a group of trash like you? I haven't said anything yet and all of you are so afraid that you don't dare to come forward. Could it be that all the resources you've gotten all these years have gone to waste? "
The powerhouses present revealed a look of shame. They all knew that Yao Kun wasn't lying. Since they were his aides, they should go through fire and water for him. But who wouldn't cherish their own lives? Facing a powerful being at the Venerable Realm really made them feel fearful.
At the same time, Lin Xiu was also thinking secretly. Since the general's strength could improve so much in such a short period of time, it meant that the other party was definitely not easy to deal with.
And judging from the previous experience in Cloud Sea City, most of the cities under Yao Kun's command should have hidden pawns.
Now that the enemy was in the dark, they were out in the open.
The situation was extremely disadvantageous to them. The only advantage they had was in terms of top combat strength. Yao Kun was stronger than the general.
Although Lin Xiu was very confident in his cultivation and thought that even if he met General Liu Cheng head-on, he would still be in an invincible position, but the bird that pokes its head out will always be shot. He had just joined the title of honor and if he were to take charge of this matter, it would definitely arouse the hatred of others.
Just as the powerhouses present had their own thoughts, Yao Kun turned his gaze to these powerhouses. His voice was like a great bell, deafening even the deaf.
"This time, as long as any of you can bring me Liu Cheng's head, then I guarantee that in the future, that person will be the third person in my, Yao Kun's, territory."
As soon as those words left his mouth, the breathing of the experts became much heavier. As the saying goes, good people die for wealth, while birds die for food. They all felt that their battle prowess had reached the peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm, but if they wanted to advance to the Venerable Realm, they would need an extremely large amount of resources. It was impossible for them to easily obtain them by themselves.
