CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 686: ANYTHING STOLEN FROM THE BEI FAMILY MUST BE RETURNED

The Bei Family Head’s pupils slightly contracted, and then he sneered, "Quite the bold claim, quite the audacity, how can we trust you!"

Wang Yang calmly said to the Bei Family Head, "In our Free Heaven Country, we have more than twelve thousand people. If we raise the army, even if Tenglong Mountain joins forces, they would not be our match. This is our confidence."

The Chief Steward next to him kept shaking his head, "But even so, we cannot believe you can cooperate with our Bei Family, especially since you should know that the Family Head of Dragon Mountain possesses celestial Demon Cultivation Level, and Tenglong Mountain is easy to defend but hard to attack, even if you have so many people, it might not make much difference."

A Half-Step Celestial Demon expert behind added, "The Chief Steward is right. After all, the celestial Demon Boundary experts are not something mere numbers can solve."

Seeing this, Wang Yang did not continue to speak, but retreated.

Seeing this, Du Feng instructed Xiu Huang, "Xiu Huang, it seems our potential collaborators have doubts about our strength. Why don’t you show them?"

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, the aura on Xiu Huang’s body erupted violently.

Although he just entered the celestial Demon Realm, he is after all a celestial Demon.

Those two experts and the Chief Steward immediately stepped back three steps, only the Bei Family Head stood still.

But the shock in his eyes was still impossible to hide.

"So it’s true, even this person has celestial Demon Cultivation Level. What is the strength of the master of this Free Heaven Country?"

The seemingly calm Bei Family Head, in reality, was already experiencing a storm within.

Xiu Huang possesses celestial Demon Cultivation Level yet is used for testing, doesn’t that mean there are other celestial Demon Boundary experts in Free Heaven Country?

Only then did Wang Yang step forward and say, "What does the Bei Family Head think?"

The Bei Family Head took a deep breath, "Your Free Heaven Country indeed has considerable strength. But you must be aware that behind Tenglong Mountain stands the Lord of Tianfeng City. Do you think you can easily take down Tenglong Mountain?"

Wang Yang smiled faintly, "This brings us to the matter of our cooperation. If our Free Heaven Country suppresses Tenglong Mountain and opposes the Lord of Tianfeng City on our own, the losses we would incur are self-evident, and it would require a great deal of time and effort."

"Family Head, this person’s arrogance is astonishing. Does he mean that Free Heaven Country has the capability to subdue the Lord of Tianfeng City?"

The Chief Steward couldn’t help but whisper to the Bei Family Head.

"No matter if they are arrogant or not, as long as it benefits our Bei Family sufficiently, why not cooperate?"

The Bei Family Head squinted his eyes and said.

Seeing that the Bei Family Head already had a mind to cooperate, the Chief Steward said no more.

The Bei Family Head said to Wang Yang, "Fine! Since you intend to cooperate, then first tell me what your plan is."

"Oh? Does the Family Head mean you are willing to cooperate with us?"

Wang Yang responded evasively.

The Bei Family Head frowned, "Shouldn’t we first listen to your plan before deciding on cooperation?"

"The Family Head is gravely mistaken. If we are not even in a cooperative relationship, why should we disclose our plan? Wouldn’t that ruin the prospects for our Free Heaven Country?"

The Bei Family Head couldn’t help but coldly sneer in his heart, the opponent is indeed a wise old fox.

Because once the plan was extracted from the opponent, perhaps it could be replicated.

Even if they couldn’t completely dethrone the Lord of Tianfeng City, it could alleviate family pressure.

"I know the Family Head must be contemplating something at this moment, but there’s one point I must inform you of."

Wang Yang’s tone shifted, becoming somewhat cold, "Besides the Bei Family in Tianfeng City, there are four other major forces. Our choice is not limited to the Bei Family; your unwillingness to cooperate does not mean others won’t want to. I hope the Family Head considers this carefully!"

Indeed, this statement put some pressure on the opposite party because Wang Yang was absolutely correct!

The Chief Steward angrily said, "Are you threatening me?"

Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, "It’s not a threat, but a statement of fact. I hope you recognize the situation. Your Majesty is someone who dislikes trouble; we just don’t want to expend more effort."

Following Wang Yang’s words, Du Feng continued, "Indeed, we hope the Bei Family Head considers this carefully."

From beginning to end, Du Feng hadn’t said much, which imposed a kind of unseen pressure on the other side.

Even Du Feng’s subordinates have celestial Demon World cultivation, isn’t his sudden force no less than the Lord of Tianfeng City?

And his subordinates probably include at least two or three celestial Demon Boundary experts.

With such a massive force, Free Heaven Country’s pressure is not smaller than that of the Lord of Tianfeng City.

After much contemplation, the Bei Family Head felt that cooperating with the opposite party was the best option.

There’s no need to offend a powerfully overwhelming force, as it would only add to his troubles.

Furthermore, the opponent indeed came with sincerity; even the master of Free Heaven Country had come to this place.

"Fine, I agree to cooperate with you!"

The Bei Family Head agreed outright, which surprised the Chief Steward and the two experts beside him, as this was unlike the typically contemplative Bei Family Head.

"The Family Head should think this through. We still haven’t grasped their background clearly. If we rashly agree, what if it’s a ploy by the Lord of Tianfeng City?"

But the Bei Family Head was very certain, "Given their strength, why would they need to cooperate with the Lord of Tianfeng City? Moreover, with the personality of the Lord of Tianfeng City, how could he agree to share power with others? If our Bei Family continues like this, one day we’ll be weakened. I don’t care what other families think, but my Bei Family must not be kicked out of Tianfeng City."
