Chapter 242: Chapter 45: Reaching an Agreement_i

Master?

Though Wang Ba’s complexion changed not, his heart could not help but rise in anticipation.

In Qiandong Palace, those who would be respectfully addressed as ‘Master’ by these human puppet guards could not possibly be Bai Yu.

So the identity of this person naturally became quite evident.

But he couldn’t figure out why he was called in when he had come to see Bai Yu.

Feeling the gazes around him, Wang Ba had no choice but to follow the human puppet guard into the gloomy palace entrance, managing to keep pace with them.

Passing through a quiet foyer, he soon saw the situation inside the palace.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were standing nearby, apparently reporting something.

Bai Yu was among them.

They all glanced at Wang Ba when he entered, except for Bai Yu who didn’t seem to pay him any attention, soon turning their gazes away.

Wang Ba shifted his gaze.

He quickly noticed a mysterious and profound aura emanating from a figure seated in the middle of the palace wearing black clothes, looking handsome like a chic young man.

It was the newly appointed Golden Core Elder, the number one man in the Tianmen Cult under the Sect Hierarch, Lu Yuansheng.

As soon as he saw Lu Yuansheng, Wang Ba’s hair stood on end. He couldn’t help but lower his head in respect due to the pain his eyes suffered upon contact.

However, he still heard the cultivators in the hall reporting and Lu Yuansheng’s decision-making voices.

“In the southeast, there’s a Class III Incense Fire Dao that’s refining god, and although he doesn’t dare to act rashly because he fears the Elder, his support makes Li Canghai quite a problem for us, and none of us can control him…” “Also, Zheng Yuanhua is perceivably cunning, many of the traps we set are discerned by him…”

“As for the Four Great Sects…”

“…The southeast should be handed over to Zhu Ziji of Butcher Dao. He may not be as good as Yan Yun, but he won’t be far behind when the killing starts.” “Southwest…needs more reinforcements…”

“Others…”

Listening to the voices in the hall, Wang Ba dared not show any impatience, standing silently in a corner.

After a while, the cultivators in the hall seemed to have received their instructions from Lu Yuansheng and they left one after another.

Soon, only Lu Yuansheng, Bai Yu, and Wang Ba, who stood in the corner, and a group of human puppet guards, remained in the hall.

Bai Yu was about to leave when he was suddenly called to stay by Lu Yuansheng, who was sitting on a higher position.

“Bai Yu, you stay.”

“…Yes, Elder.”

Bai Yu heard Lu Yuansheng’s voice, nodded respectfully, and immediately stood aside.

His pale face was devoid of any emotion.

Lu Yuansheng was not concerned, his eyes cast down on a nervous Wang Ba from the corner of the palace.

His voice echoed in the quiet palace:

“If I remember correctly, your name is Wang Ba, isn’t it?”

“Yes, yes, Elder, I’m Wang Ba.”

Wang Ba quickly came out from the shadowy corner and bowed respectfully.

“Wang Ba…”

Lu Yuansheng recited, yet what he said next sent a chill down Wang Ba’s spine:

“Heh, last time, you were somewhat useful to me, so I didn’t kill you.”

“This time, I still want you dead, you should have no regrets, right?”

Even though the tone suggested discussion, it was filled with an incontestable dominance and coldness.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but shudder!

Even though he was mentally prepared, he wasn’t expecting Lu Yuansheng to be so direct and blatant about his malice towards him.

But for a true Golden Core person, a mere Foundation Establishment Competitor might indeed not warrant much of their attention.

A word from them could mean life or death, it was just like that.

Various thoughts raced through Wang Ba’s mind.

Clamping his jaws, he made a difficult decision in a flash.

Before Lu Yuansheng could show any surprise, Wang Ba quickly bowed down again in a respectful manner, saying:

“Interestingly enough, Elder still wishes to kill me, while I have nothing to say. However, before I die, I wish to present a treasure to the Elder!”

“A treasure?”

At the head of the palace, Lu Yuansheng came out of his surprise, a playful smile appearing on his face:

“So, I want you dead, but you want to give me a treasure?”

“Elder despises Wang Ba, which is due to Wang Ba’s misdeeds. But Wang Ba’s respect for Elder can only be represented by this object.”

Wang Ba was still respectful, showing no sign of any different emotions.

Lu Yuansheng was staring closely at Wang Ba, his eyes squinting slightly:

“I want to kill you, and you don’t hate me?”

“Hate, but Wang Ba only hates himself for not doing well enough to catch Elder’s eye.”

“Elder’s talent is admirable, Wang Ba regrets not being able to follow by your side. If I could die at the hands of Elder, it would be fulfilling my wish!”

Wang Ba’s response seemed to have nauseated someone.

The dark hollow sockets couldn’t help but turn to Wang Ba. Even without flesh and skin on the facial bone, Bai Yu could clearly feel the astonishment in his heart:

Could there possibly be such a brazen person in this world?

Even Lu Yuansheng was taken by surprise at Wang Ba’s reply. His handsome face remained dumb for a while before he said with a shake of his head:

“Really, all sorts of people are in the world.”

“As long as Elder is willing, Wang Ba can be any kind of person!”

Wang Ba hurried to reply.

His sincere expression made Bai Lu, who was beside him, doubt his own ways for a moment.

Compared to Wang Ba, as Elder Lu’s right-hand man, isn’t he too self-centered and scheming?

Lu Yuansheng, watching Wang Ba quietly, suddenly burst into laughter and uttered:

“Impressive, but I still want you dead. Seeing you makes me uncomfortable..’
