Outside of the Heavenly Cloud Auction House, in an empty alley, two figures were standing face to face.
"Heh … since you don't trust Mu Han, why don't you just leave. Why bother looking for me?"
After hearing Old Eccentric Hu's words, Xiao Yan could not help but sneer. His tone was filled with ridicule.
"Hehe, like I said earlier, I came here for money. I helped Mo Di because he was able to pay me before. Now that the situation has changed, I naturally cannot lose out too much!"
Old Eccentric Hu looked at Xiao Yan and revealed an evil smile on his face. His appearance was that of a vile person.
Xiao Yan slightly nodded his head and narrowed his eyes. He did not dare to underestimate Old Eccentric Hu in front of him.
Being able to cultivate to an Eight Star Half Martial Emperor was already extremely difficult. However, Old Eccentric Hu was still able to be so cautious. It was not difficult to see that his future might not be inferior to Mu Han's.
In the narrow alley, the two figures looked at each other. After a long while, they both burst into laughter. After the laughter, Xiao Yan's expression quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said,
"If you want to change bosses, that is naturally not a problem …"
After saying this, Old Eccentric Hu appeared to be a lot calmer. He knew that Xiao Yan still had something else to say.
Xiao Yan also smiled in tacit understanding. He raised his gaze and stared at Old Eccentric Hu. Only then did he continue to speak.
"However, the problem is, how can I trust you? Based on what you said to me earlier, it was all within my expectations. If you want me to trust you, you must take out something that is sufficient to convince me! "
Hearing these words, Old Eccentric Hu laughed softly. His gaze was also fixed on Xiao Yan. He said, "Of course, there are things that I can't really talk about.
"If you are talking about substantial things, this old man is naturally unable to take them out. The only thing I can tell you is that other than the four of us that you have met this time, there is also a seven star Half Martial Emperor in Mu Zhuang."
Hearing those words, Xiao Yan immediately started to frown. Never would he have imagined that these people would actually hold back in order to deal with him. Although they were not Eight Star Half Martial Emperors, they were still people capable of overturning the entire battle. Thus, Xiao Yan could not ignore them.
Thus, Xiao Yan could only hope that the strength of that seven star Half Martial Emperor was not what he had imagined it to be.
As if he had seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts, before the expression on Xiao Yan's face changed, Old Monster Hu grinned and poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
"That Seven Star Half Martial Emperor possesses the strength of a peak late stage Half Martial Emperor. He is merely a step away from breaking through to Eight Star Half Martial Emperor. As long as he enters the Void Lightning Pool, he will definitely break through to Eight Star Half Martial Emperor! At that time, you will not only be facing the three of us. "
Xiao Yan's expression was grave as he nodded. There was no need for old demon Hu to remind him of this. Once the other party had an additional eight star Half Martial Emperor, this kind of frightening reinforcement would have a suppressive effect on the battle.
Moreover, there was also Yan Bing, who was also a peak eight star Half Martial Emperor. Once the two of them made a breakthrough, even if Xiao Yan had also broken through to a four star Half Martial Emperor, he would definitely not be a match for them even if he were to add his abilities.
Old Monster Hu's reminder allowed Xiao Yan to foresee the overall strength of Mo Di's side. This also allowed him to make some preparations before entering the lightning pool. Only by knowing one's own strength and one's enemy could one be undefeated.
If it wasn't for Old Monster Hu's words today, Xiao Yan would have truly believed that the other side only had three high level Half Martial Emperors. Once that was the case, when the lightning pool opened, Mo Di and the others would catch them unprepared. This would cause Xiao Yan's side to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Thus, to the current Xiao Yan, these words of Old Monster Hu were undoubtedly helpful.
"Since you've said so much, let's talk about your conditions."
Xiao Yun withdrew his thoughts and his gaze once again landed on Old Monster Hu. He did not believe that this fellow before him would reveal this information to him for free.
Old Monster Hu grinned and his scarlet tongue licked his lips. Soon after, he raised his gaze and slowly said, "You're really straightforward.
It's much easier than Mo Di. I won't say much. Four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills. This old man guarantees that I won't attack you when the time comes. "
Once these words were spoken, Xiao Yan immediately frowned. His eyes narrowed into a thin line as he stared at Old Monster Hu with a pair of sharp eyes. However, Old Monster Hu acted as if it was nothing.
"You really want to be the oriole …"
Xiao Yan said in an indifferent tone.
Old Monster Hu sneered and fearlessly stared at Xiao Yan. He sneered and said, "Hahaha, it's just a mere worldly possession.
"Haha … they are merely worldly possessions. Why do you need to care so much? With your current wealth, you do not lack these things. Moreover, if I were to take action at that time, you would not even be able to keep your life. What can you do with these medicinal pills? Four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills in exchange for your life. This is a very worthwhile deal! "
Xiao Yan stared at Old Monster Hu and sneered. He stretched out his hand and casually clenched his fist in the air in front of him. With a flash of light, a jade bottle appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
This was the jade bottle that Xiao Yan had thrown to the old man at the auction house. It contained four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills.
Old Monster Hu's eyes lit up when he saw this. Greed shot out from his eyes.
"Hah, the reward that Mo Di promised you is probably only half of what you asked from me. Four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills. You're really asking for too much!"
Old demon Hu's expression instantly changed when Xiao Yan's words were uttered. However, before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yan quickly opened his mouth and said,
"Four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills are enough for me to find two high-level Half-step Emperors to protect me outside. Moreover, they will definitely go all out to protect me. So, why do you think you should ask for four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills?"
Old Monster Hu's face changed. Xiao Yan was right. Four Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills were indeed enough to hire two high-level Half-step Emperors outside. However, if Xiao Yan only gave him two Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills as a reward, he would be somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Old Monster Hu's face was gloomy. His tightly knitted brows were constantly relaxed and knitted together. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and looked at Xiao Yan with a frown, saying, "Three Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills.
"Three. Three Emperor Grade Pills. That's the only concession I can make. If you're still not willing to accept my offer, then there's no need to talk about our deal."
"Okay, I can give you three Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills. However, you have to promise me one thing …"
As soon as Old Monster Hu finished speaking, Xiao Yan continued to speak. This made Old Monster Hu, who had just recovered, frown again.
Xiao Yan ignored him. After pausing for two seconds, he continued to speak.
"I can't possibly give you three Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills for nothing just because I'll find out about it sooner or later. Therefore, I want you to help me once when we're fighting. If you're unwilling to do so, we'll just forget about this deal. At most, we'll fight to the death and you won't get anything."
This time, Old Monster Hu lowered his head. His face was somewhat gloomy.
"Boy, are you threatening me?"
"I'm just making a request."
Xiao Yan looked at Old Monster Hu calmly. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well. There was no flaw in his expression.
The two of them remained silent as they looked at each other. Neither of them spoke first. For a moment, the two of them were surrounded by silence, and their foreheads were already covered with dense beads of sweat.
Whoever lost his cool first would be the first to lose. The result would be decided by the other party.
Imperceptibly, the heartbeats of the two became faster and faster as time passed. The violent heartbeats could be heard clearly within ten steps of the two of them.
Under such circumstances, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became heavy.
"Drip …"
Bean-sized beads of sweat fell on a stone between Old Monster Hu's feet. More sweat flowed down along the dense wrinkles on his old face. Another drop of sweat dripped down.
On Xiao Yan's side, the same thing was happening.
"Forget it. Since you are not willing, I will not force you. However, I feel that what you said to me today is a good reason. Once the two of you have an internal conflict, I think that it will collapse on its own. At that time, it will save me a lot of trouble."
Retracting his gaze, Xiao Yan seemed to have given up decisively. He could not be bothered with Old Monster Hu. He turned around and was about to leave.
When Old Monster Hu saw this, his expression changed. He did not expect Xiao Yan to be so ruthless. After failing to cooperate, he wanted to harm him. Then, he thought about Mu Han's ruthlessness. Looking at Xiao Yan and the three Emperor Grade Elixir Pills in front of him, Old Monster Hu's attitude finally softened.
"I promise you! If there is a need, I will take action. However, I will only take action once! After the Lightning Pool is out, we will not owe each other anything! "
"Great!"
Before Old Monster Hu could finish his words, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Old Monster Hu with a smile. Old Monster Hu could only sigh helplessly. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits. However, he did not expect that he would be forcefully pulled into the boat by Xiao Yan.
When Old Monster Hu saw Xiao Yan's victorious smile, he sneered in his heart.
"Even without me, a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor is not someone who can be defeated by numbers alone."
"Haha, whether I can deal with it or not, we'll see when the time comes. I only hope that when the time comes, you won't think of betraying me. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die a horrible death. Trust me."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His eyes were fixed on Old Monster Hu. A Heavenly Flame appeared in the depths of his eyes. The threat in his words was undeniable.
When Old Monster Hu saw this, he was secretly shocked. From his tone, it did not seem like he was lying. With Xiao Yan's reputation, Old Monster Hu was certain that Xiao Yan was not lying to him.
When Old Monster Hu thought of this, he was shocked. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
