"Bang!" Ye Kong's feet had already landed on the protective cover of the deck. Under the cover, Tu Chugen and the Saint Devil Sect disciples were looking at him with fear.
"Tu Chugen, go to hell!" Ye Kong took the flying sword and held it with both hands. He was about to stab it into the protective cover and take Tu Chugen's life.
However, Tu Chugen shouted, "Wait! You can't kill me. I have hostages! "
Ye Kong was dazed. He saw a man and a woman from the Shadow Clan being dragged out. They were Xue Lishuang and Xue Bingning.
Tu Chugen quickly walked over, grabbed Xue Bingning's neck, and grinned, "Senior, if you want to kill me, these two Shadow Clan members will die too! Senior, you should report this to your chief, Ye Kong. These two are his good friends! "
Although Xue Lishuang and Xue Bingning's mouths were sealed, they still had their hearing. Hearing that Ye Kong was the chief, they opened their eyes wide.
Tu Chugen didn't know that this person was really Ye Kong. Otherwise, he would be even more arrogant. However, he was already very proud of himself. 'You didn't expect this, did you? I'm so smart to bring these two along. It really worked!'
At this time. The others had already destroyed the other Star Boats and surrounded them.
"Number Seven, come back." Yi Manying ordered. Ye Kong tapped the protective cover of the Star Boat and flew back.
The nine puppets surrounded the Star Boat.
Tu Chugen showed his ferocious face and shouted, "Let us go! Otherwise, I will kill these two Shadow Clan members first! "
Yi Manying was annoyed. She used to think that Ye Kong was decisive. Why did he drop the ball for two irrelevant people?
"Number Seven, what happened?" Yi Manying asked.
"Those two are my friends." Ye Kong was like this. He showed no mercy to his enemies. No matter how they begged him, he wouldn't give them a chance.
However, he valued his family and friends very much. He didn't want them to get hurt because of him. Back in the Five Elements Formation, he had discovered this weakness.
"Your friends?" Yi Manying frowned and waved her hand, "Let's vote on whether to give up the hostages or not. I support giving up. "
"Give up."
"Give up."
"Give up."
Apart from Ye Kong, the other eight had voted to give up. After all, the hostages below had nothing to do with them. Taking a step back, even if they were related, they still had to give up.
Giving up two people in exchange for the safety of the Yi family business, everyone understood this.
But Ye Kong couldn't agree. She was his friend. They had traveled together for a long time and were on good terms. Most importantly, when Ye Kong did not dare to show his face, Xue Bingning secretly told him about the Yi family's situation.
The grace of a drop of water must be repaid with a spring of water.
"I don't agree," Ye Kong said.
"The minority obeys the majority," Yi Manying replied coldly.
"No, your voting decision is wrong. You have no right to decide their life or death! Everyone has the right to live! "Ye Kong said loudly.
Yi Manying was enraged, truly enraged. She roared, "Now that things have developed like this, what do you think we should do? Are we supposed to let these people escape? How many Yi Family caravan brothers and sisters would be killed? Don't stop us if you can't do it yourself! Get out of the way! "
"Don't worry, I might have a way. In any case, I won't give up until the very end! They are my friends, and they are in this state because of me. "
After saying this, Ye Kong turned around and yelled at Tu Chugen, "I just asked Ye Kong, and he said he wants to trade himself for these two people. Do you agree?"
Tu Chugen was overjoyed. There was actually such a stupid person in this world who would trade himself for someone else's life? Ye Kong was a million times more valuable than these two people.
"I agree, of course I agree … but don't try any tricks, or we'll all die together!" Tu Chugen yelled nervously.
"Then wait here, I'll go back and bring Ye Kong here."
Watching Battle Puppet Seven fly back to the Yi family's Star Boat, Yi Manying was stunned. This brat spent so much time thinking of this stupid idea?
"Ye Kong, you really want to trade with them? Think carefully! "Yi Manying chased after him.
Ye Kong nodded. "That's right, this is the only way to get close to Tu Chugen and resolve this matter."
Yi Manying said angrily, "But it's very dangerous! That Tu Chugen is also very smart, and he will definitely understand your goal. He will definitely be on his guard. Is it worth it? "
"It's worth it. Even if there's only a one percent chance, I'll still give it my all. They are my friends, and I can't just watch them die. This is how I am, and I can't change it. "Ye Kong smiled and leaped onto the Yi family's Star Boat's platform.
As Yi Manying watched his figure disappear, all the anger in her heart was swept away, replaced by gratitude. Being his friend was truly a blessing. If she had a friend like him, she would be willing to die.
Not long after, Ye Kong and Battle Puppet Seven appeared on the platform. Ye Kong's Primordial Spirit had returned, and Battle Puppet Seven was taken over by the old man from the Shadow Clan, Liu Yu.
"Don't move recklessly later. I will use a protective barrier to protect you. Even if we attack Tu Chugen, don't move recklessly. You should know that without the protection of the barrier, you will die in the Firmament Underworld," Liu Yu nagged as he covered Ye Kong with a protective barrier.
Unlike Yi Manying, Liu Yu thought that Ye Kong's plan was feasible. They could kill Tu Chugen while they were exchanging hostages. The battle puppet was already at the Form Synthesis Stage, so it had a high chance of killing Tu Chugen, who was only at the Yuanying Stage.
Liu Yu covered Ye Kong with a layer of golden light, then pulled Ye Kong off the platform and dashed towards Tu Chugen's Star Boat, which was not far away. Yi Manying followed behind them silently.
Soon, the three of them returned. Tu Chugen was overjoyed. What kind of reward would the Sacred Leader give him for bringing Ye Kong back?
However, Tu Chugen did not let it get to his head. He was very clear that when they were exchanging hostages, it was very likely that the other party would attack. The other party had nine people with extremely high cultivation bases. If they were to attack, he would not stand a chance.
Liu Yu grabbed Ye Kong and asked from afar, "Can we start now?"
Tu Chugen shouted from within the protective barrier, "Only one person is allowed to bring Ye Kong over!"
"Alright." Liu Yu wanted to walk out, but he was pulled back by Yi Manying.
"Let me do it," Yi Manying said.
Yi Manying covered Ye Kong with another layer of protective barrier. Only then did Liu Yu let go of his hand. They could not afford to make any mistakes while exchanging hostages. If Ye Kong were to be exposed in the Firmament Underworld for even a second, it would cause him great harm.
On the way to the Saint Devil Sect's Star Boat, Yi Manying could not help but ask, "Do you think we are friends?"
"Of course not." Ye Kong answered without even thinking about it.
Yi Manying only felt disappointment in her heart. Yes, they had known each other for so long, but they had only made a few deals. Most of the deals were not successful. Most importantly, she had threatened him. How could they be friends?
