Chapter 1567: Chapter 900: Taken Under the Wing
Shi Lianhai and Guan Maocai, one after another, immediately proposed a deal with Liang Yuan.
For now, the Heart Core and Brain Core of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin were their only bargaining chips.
So they could only clutch at this single straw and negotiate with Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan laughed: “Aren’t you putting a little too much importance on the Heart Core and Brain Core?”
“The number of Floating Islands and Sky Islands in my hands has already reached double digits. Do you really think a single Yellow Earth Divine Origin would actually tie my hands and feet? Make me subject to your threats?”
Shi Lianhai and Guan Maocai’s faces changed on the spot.
Yes, they’d been thinking about it the wrong way. The Floating Island they considered extremely valuable had long since become nothing special to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan now controlled far too many resources!
Once Shi Lianhai figured this out, he immediately changed his attitude and quickly said, “Mr. Liang, we’re not trying to threaten you, we just want to live.”
“In this doomsday catastrophe, it wasn’t easy for people like us to survive at all. It’s taken everything to make it this far—no one wants to die now.”
“If you give us a way to live, I’m willing to offer up the Heart Core.”
Seeing how fast Shi Lianhai switched faces, Guan Maocai cursed to himself, then hurriedly said, “Mr. Liang, I was a bit loud just now. I apologize. I meant the same thing—I just want to stay alive, I had no intention of threatening you.”
“I’m also willing to offer up the Brain Core; I only ask that you spare our lives.”
The speed at which these two changed faces was something even Liang Yuan hadn’t expected.
But he only said calmly, “You two want to live? That’s easy enough, but at least give me a reason.”
“Back when you brought the Earth Mother Sect people to make trouble for my Yangshan, did you ever think about giving me a chance to live?”
“This Brain Core Core today is something I was bound to obtain anyway. If you two want to live, just handing over these two things isn’t enough.”
Hearing this, Guan Maocai and Shi Lianhai panicked on the spot.
The two thought hard; then Guan Maocai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, “Mr. Liang, we’re still useful. We can swear loyalty to Yangshan and open up new territory for Yangshan.”
“No matter what, the two of us count as Genetic Reorganization Level experts. If you need people to run errands and handle things, we can do it.”
Shi Lianhai’s heart also stirred; suddenly thinking of something, he immediately shouted, “Mr. Liang, Wu Meng fled with Meteor Island, and that Meteor Island should have belonged to you. The two of us can find a way to seize Meteor Island back and return it to you.”
“Also, we know where Wu Meng is headed—he’s going to the Divine Country. We can go to the Divine Country and scout out the situation in the north for you.”
Liang Yuan had no interest in anything they said at the start.
Give me a break—Yangshan was thriving now, with no shortage of gene recombination experts.
Not to mention the two factions Sprout and Kerry Technology, which also had a large number of gene recombination experts.
So Liang Yuan didn’t care in the slightest at first.
But when Shi Lianhai mentioned they could go to the Divine Country to gather intelligence, Liang Yuan was immediately moved.
At present, two-thirds of Yu Province’s territory had already fallen into his hands, and he was about to share a border with the Divine Country.
There was also Jingzhou to the north, and there were plenty of experts in those lands as well.
Right now he knew nothing about what was happening over there, which was truly a huge problem.
If someone could infiltrate in advance and help him gather information, that would naturally be ideal.
And at such a dangerous time, it wasn’t appropriate to send his own people.
If these two in front of him went, even if they died, he would feel no psychological burden at all.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile: “Going to the Divine Country to gather intel for me—that’s actually not a bad idea.”
“But if you go and never come back, how am I supposed to find you?”
Shi Lianhai hurriedly swore oaths: “Mr. Liang, don’t worry. I can swear to the heavens—if I dare betray you, may my son be born without an asshole, and may I be struck dead by lightning the moment I step outside.”
Liang Yuan was unmoved by this.
If oaths could really restrain someone, what would we need the police for?
Liang Yuan didn’t bother with nonsense; he took out two Parasite Species and said, “Don’t say those useless things. I have two special medicines here. Swallow them in front of me, and I’ll believe you.”
The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
As things stood, if they didn’t eat them, they really weren’t walking out of this great hall.
If they did, they might still have a chance to live.
They had already cultivated up to gene recombination and had enjoyed the taste of being at the peak of power—how could they be willing to just die like this?
On the spot, the two took a deep breath.
“Fine!”
“I’ll eat it!”
The two answered separately.
Liang Yuan smiled slightly and flicked his fingers; the Parasite Species shot toward the two of them.
They hastily caught them and carefully examined the green seeds before finally swallowing them.
Liang Yuan glanced at Wang Yu’Er and said, “Release the Array.”
“Yes.”
The grand array dimmed, and everyone present had their Superpowers restored at once.
As their Superpowers returned, the two Parasite Species immediately merged into the depths of Shi Lianhai and Guan Maocai’s bloodlines, taking root in their Sea of Consciousness.
The two instantly felt the presence of the Parasite Species, but they didn’t dare resist in the slightest.
Liang Yuan looked at the ugly expressions on the two men’s faces, smiled, and said, “This is a Parasite Species. The two of you need to come back and report to me once a year. I’ll help you suppress the Parasite Species when the time comes.”
“Otherwise the Parasite Species will go out of Control, start absorbing your blood and Spirit as nutrients, and begin to grow.”
Their faces instantly turned pale. They clearly understood that from now on, their lives would be held in someone else’s hands.
“Understood.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liang.”
The two of them sighed inwardly. There was nothing they could do; they could only clasp their fists in forced gratitude.
Liang Yuan chuckled lightly and said, “Alright, hand over the Heart Core and Brain Core of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin, then you two can go to the Divine Country.”
The two didn’t dare delay. They could only obediently hand over the Heart Core and Brain Core, then quickly take their leave.
They flew out of Arc Light Island at top Speed all the way and quickly slipped onto a nearby deserted island.
Guan Maocai immediately sat cross-legged, sensing the Parasite Species in his body, trying to find a way to remove it.
Shi Lianhai did the same, directly activating his Superpower, turning into Earth Element, wanting to see if he could force this foreign object out of his body.
However, the two tried a bunch of methods and still couldn’t expel the Parasite Species.
In no Time, their faces were so dark it looked like water could drip from them.
“Well? Can you get it out?”
“No. I already tried Elementalization, totally useless.”
“Fuck, what kind of Parasite Species is this? What the hell is it?”
“Seems like a Wood Attribute Superpower. Fuck, are we really going to be pinched by him like this forever?” Shi Lianhai couldn’t help but curse.
Guan Maocai’s face was equally ashen as he said, “Right now we can only take one step at a Time. At least we’re still alive.”
“Right, what the hell happened back there? Didn’t Wu Meng come out to help?”
Guan Maocai recalled the battle just now and hurriedly asked.
When Shi Lianhai heard this, he immediately cursed, “Fuck his mother, help my ass!”
Guan Maocai had already been knocked out back then. When Wu Meng made his move, his head was completely muddled.
Hearing Shi Lianhai’s words, he quickly asked what had happened.
Shi Lianhai immediately told him how Wu Meng had sold the two of them out.
As soon as Guan Maocai heard this, his rage flared: “That idiot Wu Meng, is he out of his damn mind?”
“We were going to the Divine Country together so we could watch each other’s backs. What the hell does he gain by rushing to sell us out?”
“Does he really think that by selling us, he can curry favor with that Liang bastard?”
Shi Lianhai shook his head and said, “No, I figure that brat sold us out to stop that Liang bastard from digging deeper into him.”
“Didn’t you notice? That Liang bastard didn’t give a damn where Meteor Island went. I even brought up taking Meteor Island back by force, and he didn’t show the slightest reaction.”
“I heard long ago that Wu Meng also came from Yangshan back in the day. Could it be that he and that Liang bastard have some kind of connection?” Guan Maocai asked in confusion.
Shi Lianhai shook his head. “Not likely. If there really was some connection, when our Three Great Sects attacked Yangshan back then, Wu Meng couldn’t possibly have just stood by.”
“Heh, with the strength he had back then, what the hell could he have done?” Guan Maocai sneered.
“Now I’m starting to suspect that the reason that Liang bastard got back so fast back then was because Wu Meng went to tip him off.”
When Shi Lianhai heard this, he also started to doubt it a bit.
But he quickly shook his head and said, “This isn’t the Time to think about that. What are we going to do next?”
“You and I are now under someone else’s thumb. Do we just obey that Liang bastard and go to the Divine Country as spies?”
Guan Maocai also frowned and said, “Do you have any other options right now?”
“As long as this Parasite Species is still in our bodies, we can’t run.”
“Besides, we ought to go settle things with Wu Meng. Fuck him, he sold us out. We have to make him pay for that!”
Guan Maocai’s words made Shi Lianhai nod at once. He also said angrily, “That bastard really deserves to die. Looks like we definitely have to make a trip to the Divine Country.”
At this point, Shi Lianhai suddenly thought of something and looked at Guan Maocai. “Didn’t you say before that you were trying to find a way to contact those people over there?”
“Can you still get in touch with them now?”
Guan Maocai sighed. “Before, we still had a Floating Island and a huge population base. Those were all bargaining chips.”
“Now it’s just the two of us left. I’m worried the guy we contacted before might change his tune.”
“Hm? Who exactly did you contact?” Shi Lianhai asked.
“People from the Water God Sect,” Guan Maocai sighed.
Shi Lianhai was instantly shocked. “Water God Sect? Didn’t that Liang bastard wipe them out? I heard back then that the Water God Sect’s upper echelon was either captured by that Liang bastard or killed on the spot.”
Guan Maocai gave him a look and said, “Did you forget? The Sect Leader of the Water God Sect isn’t dead yet.”
Shi Lianhai was stunned, then reacted. “Pei Yuanhu?”
“Wait, didn’t that guy join the Hawk Faction and spend all his Time researching the Floating Island in the sky?”
“No, that’s not right. The Hawk Faction was wiped out by Liang Yuan.”
Shi Lianhai immediately remembered—not only was the Hawk Faction gone, their leader Yuan Shijie was dead too.
He really hadn’t paid much attention to this matter before. Now that he thought about it, the Hawk Faction was either dead or crippled back then, and a bunch of military personnel were forcibly absorbed by that Liang bastard.
But at the Time he’d only been focused on running for his life and hadn’t paid any attention to Pei Yuanhu’s whereabouts.
