"If we wait for the Four-winged Mantis and the Crimson Green Ape King to make a move, Lu Daoyou will lose the initiative. When that time comes, it will be difficult to turn the tables. Since that's the case, why not strike first? "Ban Qianren's eyes flickered.
"You're quite bold. Even so, there's still the Phantom Scorpion King. Do you think he'll sit back and watch us fight?"
Lu Xiaotian glanced at Ban Qianren in surprise. He didn't expect Ban Qianren to have such courage. In fact, Lu Xiaotian had considered what Ban Qianren said. If there was only one Four-winged Mantis, Lu Xiaotian would most likely do as Ban Qianren said and kill the Four-winged Mantis first.
What the Devil Monarch really cared about was whether or not he could complete his mission. As for the death of the Four-winged Mantis, it was secondary to such a powerhouse. Once the Four-winged Mantis died, even if the Devil Monarch was dissatisfied with him, he could only count on him to complete the mission.
However, the Phantom Scorpion King would never sit back and watch him kill the Four-winged Mantis. For the Phantom Scorpion King, completing the mission given by the Devil Monarch was the most important thing. Whoever threatened this point, the Phantom Scorpion King would intervene. As for after the Devil Monarch's mission was completed, the Phantom Scorpion King's attitude was undoubtedly the key to victory for Lu Xiaotian.
Outside the Demon Sea Cave, Lu Xiaotian and the Phantom Scorpion King had fought each other for hundreds of years, but they weren't friends. Lu Xiaotian didn't dare to pin his hopes on the Phantom Scorpion King.
Once the Phantom Scorpion King changed sides, Lu Xiaotian would almost certainly die if he faced the Four-winged Mantis, the Crimson Green Ape King, and the Phantom Scorpion King at the same time, unless he had broken through to the late Combination Stage.
"Back then, the Phantom Scorpion King offended a powerhouse of the Demon Clan in the Demon Sea, Heartless Lightning Strike. They didn't have a death feud, but as long as Lu Daoyou is willing to pay a certain price, Heartless Lightning Strike will be happy to cause some trouble for the Phantom Scorpion King. It's just stopping the Phantom Scorpion King, not a life and death battle. Heartless Thunder Centipede won't refuse. "Ban Qianren suggested.
"I don't trust the Heartless Lightning Centipede. This matter is related to the mission that the Demon Lord gave me, so the Heartless Lightning Centipede might not have the courage to interfere. This is a battle of life and death. I don't want any more unforeseen events to happen for no reason. If a snake hits its weak spot and misses, it will be considered beating the grass and alerting the snake. "Lu Xiaotian shook his head.
"Lu Daoyou, do you have any good ideas for the current predicament?" Ban Qianren frowned. It was impossible to do anything without taking risks. The enemy they had to deal with right now was definitely not simple. How could they possibly have everything planned out? However, looking at Lu Xiaotian's expression, it was clear that he already had a plan in mind.
"There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to pay the price." Lu Xiaotian looked at Madara with a smile.
"Right now, this old man and Lu Daoyou are on the same boat. Our lives are at stake. Could it be that Lu Daoyou still doesn't trust this old man?" Ban Qianren said with a bitter face. There was a saying that it was necessary to guard against people, but Lu Xiaotian's vigilance was a little too heavy.
"Unless I have no other choice, I never fight an unprepared battle. If you are willing to pay the price, this battle is very likely." Lu Xiaotian stretched out his palm and a small piece of sparkling jade appeared in his palm.
"Soul-locking Jade! Lu Daoyou, what do you mean? " Ban Qianren saw the small piece of jade in Lu Xiaotian's palm and couldn't help but be shocked and a little angry.
"Since fellow daoist recognizes this Soul-locking Jade, you naturally know what I mean. I won't force you, but if the Four-winged Mantis really attacks, I may have a chance to escape. Fellow daoist Ban, your chances are not big. Whether or not you want to save your granddaughter, you should think about it again. If I didn't have absolute trust in you, I would also bet on you. "Lu Xiaotian said unhurriedly.
"Even if this old man is willing to be controlled by Lu Daoyou, it doesn't seem to be of much help to the current situation." Ban Qianren narrowed his eyes.
"Naturally, it will be of some help." Lu Xiaotian smiled when he heard this, and a sapphire blue demon bottle appeared in his palm. It was the Blue Demon Bottle that he had obtained after killing the Greedy Stork Crane Demon.
"This demon bottle was obtained by killing a mid-stage Combination Realm demon back then. Even I almost died under this Blue Demon Bottle. It was a bit of luck that I was able to kill my opponent. If you can refine this demon bottle, your strength will be able to rise to another level. At that time, I will use some methods and borrow your strength to block the Phantom Demon Scorpion. "
At this point, Lu Xiaotian's tone changed. "Of course, this demon bottle is too powerful. If you are not under my control, I will not give this demon bottle to you. In addition, this demon bottle has a flaw. Once you refine this demon bottle, I can't say whether the demon bottle or you will be the master. You have to think about what you want to do. "
"This …" Ban Qianren's old face was full of hesitation. Ban Qianren instinctively resisted this Soul-locking Jade. No cultivator was willing to put their life in the hands of others and live like a walking corpse.
However, after hesitating for a while, Ban Qianren finally sighed. Lu Xiaotian's attitude was quite obvious. If he did not hand over a wisp of his soul for the other party to control, the other party would not trust him more. Moreover, with his current strength, it seemed that he could not be trusted more by Lu Xiaotian.
After all, Lu Xiaotian was facing the Four-winged Mantis and the Crimson Green Ape King, who were old demons in the late Combination Realm. On second thought, Ban Qianren was already in his twilight years. Although he still had some lifespan left, which was not short compared to the human race, he had already lost the hope of advancing to the next level for the demon race.
Considering this, it seemed that he had nothing to lose. Moreover, his granddaughter, Ban Yao, still had to rely on Lu Xiaotian to have a chance of cultivating again. With this thought, Ban Yao nodded. "Fine, this old one will listen to Lu Daoyou. However, I hope that Lu Daoyou will remember what you said to this old one."
"It seems that there will be a battle between the Four-winged Mantis and me. As long as he has the thing you said, you can take it."
"Do you dare to swear?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lu Xiaotian swore.
"Very well. If that's the case, it's not a big deal for me to sell my old life to Fellow Daoist Lu."
Ban Qianren sat cross-legged on the ground and recited a spell. His face gradually turned pale. In the end, Ban Qianren screamed and a wisp of his Divided Soul flew toward Lu Xiaotian. Ban Qianren sat upright on the ground and his body trembled. He almost lost his balance. The higher the realm, the longer he lived, and the harder it was to sever his Primordial Spirit.
For the demon race, whose Primordial Spirit was generally weaker than that of a human cultivator of the same realm, the price of severing a wisp of his Divided Soul was higher than that of a human cultivator.
Lu Xiaotian kept the wisp of Ban Qianren's Divided Soul into the Soul-locking Jade with a calm expression. This was a matter of life and death. With Lu Xiaotian's face, he naturally would not be embarrassed.
After keeping the wisp of Ban Qianren's Divided Soul, Lu Xiaotian stretched out his finger and several elixir bottles and the blue demon bottle flew toward Ban Qianren. "Take the elixir inside. The injury on your Primordial Spirit will be healed in the shortest time. After the injury on your Primordial Spirit is healed, choose another day to refine this demon bottle."
