As Xiao Chen held the jade strip and looked at Yan Zhe's back, he entered deep thought.
Luo Nan, who was at the side, whispered, "This Senior Yan is really magnanimous. To think that the Myriad Star Mountain is such a dangerous place. Should we invite him to come with us? "
Xiao Suo said seriously, "So, the Myriad Star Mountain is such a place. Many Rank 6 sects use it for experiential training. It is somewhat hard to imagine. "
Sects were categorized into ranks. Rank 7 was the highest. Above that were the various Holy Lands, the transcendent factions that did not leave the mundane world.
A sixth-grade sect was already a bona fide super giant.
An Elder of a Rank 6 sect could easily flatten the entire Grave Sea without any effort.
Xiao Suo's worry was not without reason.
Xiao Chen had interacted with Rank 5 sects before. In Dragon Flame City, he had fought with the many Rank 5 sect disciples of the Yanwu Dynasty.
He had even fought with the true inheritors. All of them lost to him.
The Rank 6 sect disciples might be strong, but they would not be that strong. Xiao Chen did not fear them.
What he feared were the Rank 6 sect Elders. If he ran into them, he would have no chance of victory.
Xiao Chen looked at the Iron Hand Yama and asked, "Old Yama, what do you think?"
After thinking for a while, the Iron Hand Yama said with some conflict, "There is no way to ask for help. Our strength is not equal. We cannot work together unless we give up most of the benefits. "
"In any case, I do not believe that this Yan Zhe will really help us at all costs after just a few meetings."
Elder Tang interjected, "The Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure trove must be incredibly vast. Even if we only take one percent of it, we will still be able to gain a lot and obtain significant fortuitous encounters.
However … "" However what? "the Iron Hand Yama asked.
Elder Tang hesitated for a while before saying, "However, what if the other party burns the bridge after crossing it and does not give us even one percent? We will not have the strength to deal with him."
"That can't be. I don't think that Senior Yan is that kind of person. If he were, he would not have saved us the first time we met. "
"The first time we met did not involve any major benefits. It is hard to say what happens next."
Everyone had their own opinions, and the discussion went on endlessly.
The Iron Hand Yama, Elder Tang, and the others split into two factions. These two veterans did not believe in the so-called good things in the world. Everything was possible when it came to benefits.
Luo Nan, Fei `er, and Xiao Suo felt that they could trust Yan Zhe, so they invited him to Myriad Star Mountain.
"Young Master Xiao, what do you think?"
Only then did the others remember that Xiao Chen hadn't spoken a word, so they hurriedly looked at him.
Xiao Chen's eyes were solemn as he said, "This person is not normal."
"What?!"
It was fine if he didn't speak, but the moment he did, Xiao Chen's words were shocking, causing everyone to be extremely surprised.
"Say, who can remain so calm after hearing about the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure? Calm and unruffled, without the slightest hint of agitation or excitement. Is there such a person? "
Xiao Chen's question immediately caused the Iron Hand Yama, Xiao Suo, and the others to exchange glances.
"Naturally, there are such people. Once their strength reaches a certain level, they will not care about the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasures. However, what does he count for? He is just a late-stage Star Venerate. How can he be so calm? "
Fei`er's expression changed slightly, and she asked softly, "Then he was pretending?"
Xiao Chen nodded silently. "This person is very scary, too shrewd and scheming. He knows our every move like the back of his hand. Of all times, he came just as we were about to leave, coincidentally appearing.
"After that, he inadvertently told us how dangerous the Myriad Star Mountain is and what kind of factions surround it. He clearly wants to explore the Myriad Star Mountain with us. However, he is trying to scare us off, wanting us to go and beg him ourselves. "
The expressions of Luo Nan, Fei `er, and Xiao Suo immediately changed.
They thought about it. Yan Zhe said that that place was too dangerous, so they wanted to invite him to explore the Myriad Star Mountain with them.
They had fallen for his trap and scheme.
Xiao Suo thought hard and said, "However, I can't figure out why he thinks so highly of us. Given his strength, he actually does not need to care too much about us. "
Right now, even if everyone on the warship worked together, they would not be a match for him. At best, Xiao Chen could barely protect himself and flee from him.
To them, a late-stage Star Venerate was already an extremely terrifying existence.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and summoned out the Scarlet Blood War Banner. "Perhaps it is because of this."
Back then, when Xiao Chen first met Yan Zhe, he felt that the other party was testing him.
This was because Yan Zhe could not obtain the Scarlet Blood War Banner's recognition. He could only use the Scarlet Blood War Banner as a weapon.
Given that, although Yan Zhe had the Scarlet Blood War Banner, it would not be of much use in the treasure trove.
That day, when the other party saw the war banner in Xiao Chen's hand, he instantly unfurled it and triggered a mysterious phenomenon.
Xiao Chen had guessed that the other party would come again.
If Xiao Chen could not obtain the Scarlet Blood War Banner's recognition, the other party would definitely snatch it back.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's explanation, Luo Nan, Fei`er, and the others felt their hair stand on end.
The Iron Hand Yama was rather normal. "Before benefits, how could he have any poise or emotions? After fighting in the Ash Gray Sea for so many years, if he were really so benevolent, he would have been eaten up long ago. If he was really so benevolent, I'm afraid he would have been eaten long ago and wouldn't have been able to hold his current position. "
"What should we do?"
For a moment, the group found themselves in a dilemma, unable to make up their minds.
After being schemed against by such a strong enemy, every step they took felt like there was a sword at their backs, like they could fall into the deep abyss at any moment.
Xiao Chen was rather calm. "We'll beat them at their own game."
--- On the other side, after Yan Zhe returned to his residence, the core members of the Iron Horn Pirate Group started asking questions.
After hearing Yan Zhe's explanation, they all revealed confused and surprised expressions.
"Captain, are we just going to let them go like that?"
"Indeed. That concerns the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure!"
"The Scarlet Blood Pirate King was a legendary Pirate King. It is hard to imagine how vast the treasure he left behind is. If we can obtain it, it might be possible for the Iron Horn Pirate Group to become a legend. "
The few subordinates were incredibly excited, and some were even more anxious.
They immediately asked for permission to capture Xiao Chen and the others.
Yan Zhe smiled faintly. "There are three strategies: the best strategy, the middle strategy, and the worst strategy. Your method of using brute force is the worst strategy of all. How can that Xiao Chen submit so easily? Even if you can use his friends to threaten him, it will be hard to guarantee that he will fight to the death. At that time, the losses outweigh the gains, and the losses will be even greater. "
"But we can't just let them go like that, right?" the old man who sold the Dragon Shadow Condor wing bone to Xiao Chen said, feeling confused.
Yan Zhe was very confident. He smiled unhurriedly and said, "He will come back and look for me in less than two hours."
"What if they really leave?" someone asked, still feeling dissatisfied.
Yan Zhe replied indifferently, "I have my own backup plans. The Ash Gray Sea is not a peaceful place. I will make them suffer a little, and they will still take the initiative to come and look for me. The best way to manage people is to attack their minds. I want them to work for me wholeheartedly and even feel grateful to me. "
After a while, someone came to report that Xiao Chen sought an audience.
Yan Zhe revealed a faint smile. The core members of the Iron Horn Pirate Group immediately felt that their captain was unfathomable and had great foresight.
"Captain is truly a godly person. Every step that Xiao Chen takes is within Captain's calculations."
"Indeed, it is as Captain said. He really came."
Yan Zhe waved his hand and said, "Don't give the game away. Come with me to meet him."
In the hall, Yan Zhe received Xiao Chen seriously. "Young Master Xiao, what brings you here?"
Xiao Chen pretended to think for a while. Then, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I would like to invite Big Brother Yan to come with me to the Myriad Star Mountain and take care of it. Of course, if there are any gains, I will definitely thank you generously. "
Yan Zhe revealed a troubled expression as he said, "I'm afraid that I cannot do so even though I have the heart."
Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Why?"
Yan Zhe explained, "I will not be able to leave the Grave Sea for the next half month. I still have many old friends that I have yet to meet. Once I leave the Grave Sea this time, I will probably not come back again. I really do not want to waste this opportunity. "
Xiao Chen felt surprised, but he could not force the issue. After chatting for a while, he took his leave.
"Captain, he already delivered himself to us. Why did you not agree?"
After Xiao Chen left, the others in the hall revealed confused expressions once more.
Yan Zhe said indifferently, "Don't worry. Everything is under control. It is hard to guarantee that he is not here to test us. Firstly, my answer can dispel his suspicions. Secondly, if I casually agree, it will be hard for him to understand my importance. After he suffers, I will send him charcoal in his hour of need. Only then will he truly be grateful to you. "
Yan Zhe's words immediately won the admiration of Yan Zhe's subordinates. They simply did not expect their captain to be so scheming.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly before leaving.
You already saw through me, yet you are still acting. In that case, I will continue acting with you.
