Chapter 310: Fortune Thief Alliance
Because of the misjudgment in the information from the Yin Gui Faction, Tao Yu knew that his group could easily take down those from the Yin Gui Faction.
Zhu Yuyan indeed had the determination to fight to the bitter end, but as long as he employed the "Seven Stars Unite," he would definitely be able to break her Heavenly Demon force field before she could resort to mutual destruction.
However, the other party was right, they had indeed come with sincerity, so negotiations could be entertained.
The Yin Gui Faction also possessed coveted treasures, and currently, as the leading force of the Demon Sect, if Tao Yu were to lend his support, collecting and integrating the remnants of the "Demon Strategy" would be entirely justifiable!
The "Dao Heart Demon Seed" Great Technique!
Such a wonderful thing...
Therefore, if they were willing to come forward to talk, Tao Yu was of course also willing to negotiate.
"Nowadays, two Grandmaster figures have already been labeled as extraterritorial Heavenly Demons by those hypocritical folks, while at the same time they've spread news of the Demonic Emperor's relic, attempting to make our Holy Gate view you as enemies and turn the whole world against you."
Zhu Yuyan started off by belittling those from the Ci Hang faction, but what she said was indeed the truth.
With their power reaching such heights, exaggerations and rumors were useless; only straightforward truth mattered.
"You're right, they are quite annoying."
Tao Yu nodded, waiting for the time when he could settle scores without cost, to pay them a visit and have a thorough discussion.
"We have a basis for cooperation. As for the Holy Relic, no one outside of our Holy Gate can utilize it..."
"So you wish to offer up your techniques? That can indeed be discussed," Tao Yu said, effectively cornering Zhu Yuyan, who opened her mouth but then fell silent.
From the slight trembling of her veil, one could see that her breathing had become somewhat heavier.
The Double Dragons beside her couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They already knew that Tao Yu was an Inner City Pioneer, so this act of demanding techniques seemed not so strange after all!
"If Mr. Tao is willing to join the Holy Gate, it would be our great honor."
"No problem, I can announce it far and wide right now that I am with the Holy Gate, to avoid those hypocrites smearing me."
Tao Yu declared confidently.
They say I'm colluding with the Demon Sect?
Colluding my ass—I'll join outright!
This sudden switch truly caught the Yin Gui Faction off guard. Are they being serious, or pretending?
Isn't that too casual?
This is about joining a martial arts sect—and not just any sect, but the Holy Gate!
"You can ask Real Person Zhang, I do not care much for these sectarian distinctions; do not think I am merely talking. My identity as the thirty-first hierarch of the Ming Cult is, in our circle, the standard identity of a member of the Demon Sect."
Tao Yu's words caused Zhu Yuyan's pupils to constrict, faintly comprehending the importance of what Tao Yu had said.
"This information comes with a fee, just..."
"But what about the Abyss?"
Zhu Yuyan's words caused Tao Yu to halt mid-sentence, and he too fell silent, looking at Zhu Yuyan in front of him.
Good, there are actually Pioneers who have arrived first?
From where did they come?
However, if one carefully considers that in terms of geography, the Divine Sculpture and the Kunlun Mountains mirror each other, and Great Tang is folded along the prairie in relation to the Divine Sculpture, then it's possible that the seas by Great Tang really are connected with the seas of the Zombie World.
But if the Abyss is capable of tearing the world apart, then perhaps the original Pacific Ocean has expanded a lot. Has someone crossed such a vast distance to arrive here?
That shouldn't be...
This moment instilled a certain sense of urgency in Tao Yu.
"I don't know where Empress Yin heard it from."
Tao Yu looked calmly at the other party, and to his surprise, he had been hijacked by someone else, which gave him a slight taste of what those Inner City Pioneers he had killed must have felt.
No wonder they were angry.
I'm angry too!
"A man who claims to be the master of 'Zombie Fist,' Daoist Shi Shaojian, said he came from the outside world. His mastery of the Zombie Fist Technique is so profound that, were it not for his clear consciousness, he would be indistinguishable from a corpse, devoid of any sign of life, truly abnormal..."
Zhu Yuyan said calmly.
The style of Shi Shaojian implied that it was the way of the Demon Sect, which is why it was easy for him to blend into their circles.
And indeed, he did bring the earth-shattering secret of the Abyss recently!
On hearing this, Tao Yu slowly exhaled.
Not a Pioneer, but the 'Fortune Thief' Alliance is even more troublesome than the Pioneers!
This was the information the little rich girl had uncovered from the investigations, and according to the clues found by the capital observers from the Zombie World, a Fortune Thief gang of an unknown number of members seems to be causing trouble in nearby worlds.
Their likely goal is to lead the world into the apocalypse!
The old Development Zone also has 'Fortune Thieves,' many of whom have working relationships.
But those who want to destroy the world are usually dealt with immediately!
This group, on the other hand, emerged without external intervention, and while their exact number is unknown, their strength is not to be underestimated.
The little rich girl grievously wounded the leader of a Fortune Thief team, a man who wielded the Thunder Method; he ultimately fell into the sea, leaving his fate unknown.
It was precisely because of that confrontation that the Fortune Thief Alliance seemed to have chosen to retreat, leaving this area, and for a long time, there was no trace of them, only for them unexpectedly to appear here.
To the Fortune Thief Alliance, the Chaotic Era's Great Tang must also be too tempting to resist.
It's different from the Chosen One's killing of Yuan Force creatures.
Beyond killing Yuan Force creatures, Fortune Thieves can also be rewarded through another means: creating natural disasters!
However, the little rich girl has said that such a reward is really a short-sighted calculation; compared to the destruction caused, the rewards aren't actually that great.
Normal people wouldn't make this kind of choice, but Fortune Thieves nearly all have extreme personalities, so it's normal for such individuals to arise who, for the sake of a slight improvement, wouldn't care about others' lives or deaths at all.
"Haha, Fortune Thieves and the Demon Sect, they really are a perfect match, and they should be looking to replenish their companions..."
Tao Yu sneered coldly. When the little rich girl first entered the Abyss, she was actually on the defensive but, as her strength, as well as that of her brother, increased, they began to take the offensive and dealt a heavy blow to the Fortune Thief team!
This was another kind of advantage that Pioneers could pool together Yuan Force and resources.
Although the brother and sister didn't grow as fast as Tao Yu, they didn't lag overall due to their high starting point.
When he heard the news about the Fortune Thieves, Tao Yu's first instinct was to return and bring the message to the little rich girl's side.
But he then briefly hesitated.
These people are very cautious, especially after they started being hunted.
Now that they have joined the Demon Sect, it's time to figure out how to lure them out.
"After their leader's fate became unknown, once I obtain the Longevity Secret, they will pose only a limited threat to me, indeed it might be worth making some arrangements first."
Tao Yu made up his mind and, when he looked at Zhu Yuyan again, he felt a bit of amiable kinship.
This news was indeed timely, otherwise, if I encountered them without the slightest preparation, I might suffer due to the disadvantage in intelligence.
These Demon Sect women are quite beautifully marked, and Zhu Yuyan herself still retains her charm...
