"You know in your heart whether there is a threat or not. There is no need for us to quarrel. Just tell us your plans." Facing a cunning old opponent, Hao Yun somewhat understood this guy's tricks.
Shen Zao slowly put away the smile on his face, showed a solemn expression, and said: "Okay, let's talk openly. I can let go of your companions, but I need new test subjects. You must get them." Someone comes and replaces it.”
"Didn't you already arrest three people?" Hao Yun frowned.
"Those three people I used to exchange for your companions have been handed over to others long ago."
"Then where can I get people for you? You don't want me to go to Lingdu Continent to arrest people for you, do you?" Hao Yun was unhappy.
"Don't worry, we can do a business." Shen Zao said with a mysterious smile.
Hao Yun quietly listened to Shen Zao explain his intentions, and then realized that Shen Zao was weaving a big web, and his ambition was more terrifying than he imagined. Shen Zao hopes that Hao Yun can provide him with a stable source of goods. According to his idea, it can provide at least eight cultivators at the stage of infant transformation and above every year, including two cultivators at the transcending tribulation stage.
Hao Yunxun said anxiously: "You really dare to think, who do you think I am, that I can catch so many cultivators? Besides, who do you think I am, and I help you traffic people? You know, this kind of person is me What I hate most is that I can’t wait to kill every one of them.”
"Haha, you hate it, then why did your companions become cargo and sent to the West Wind Continent, and you didn't even see them, so you killed the three people who delivered the goods!" Shen Zao said sarcastically.
"I want to find my companions through them." Hao Yun quickly explained.
"Okay, don't explain. In fact, I already know your identity in Lingdu Continent. You are really famous. Members of the Lingdi family practice time skills, which are very powerful." Shen Zao said. Because of Hao Yun, he became an abandoned son, so he must have investigated Hao Yun over the years.
"Since you know how powerful I am, you must never be my enemy." Hao Yun sneered, and he was not surprised by this. Over the years, he has grown from an inconspicuous pawn in Lingdu Continent to becoming famous all of a sudden. His situation is not a secret in Lingdu Continent. It is easy for Shen Zao to learn about Hao Yun's information. .
"Yes, so I want to discuss a real business with you." Shen Zao said. When he saw Hao Yun trying to interrupt him, he quickly made a gesture to signal Hao Yun not to worry and let him speak. Finished, "You are the senior official of the Supervision Brigade, and these criminals involved in human trafficking should be the targets you need to crack down on. However, until now, this kind of thing has been going on, and it is getting more and more rampant. Now Even the cultivators who have transcended the tribulation period have been sent over. It is said that blocking is better than sparing. Since it cannot be blocked, it is better to use other methods to attack."
Hao Yun felt something in his heart, and felt that what this guy said seemed to make sense. However, even if what Shen Zao said was nonsense, he would not participate in human trafficking.
Shen Zao paused and saw that Hao Yun did not reject him, so he continued: "This time, your companion's matter has nothing to do with me. You should know this. I am not the one who receives the goods. I am just a chance It’s a coincidence that I took on the task of testing your companions.”
Only after Shen Zao's detailed description did Hao Yun know the whole story. The real buyer is actually the hawkish research institution, which is semi-official. The metal association that Shen Zao belongs to is a gray research institution walking on the fringes.
"You told me so much, what do you mean?" Hao Yun felt impatient.
"It's very simple. The two of us work together. I will help you get rid of the buyer, and you will deliver the seller's cultivators to me. Is this business a good deal?" It was obvious that Shen Zao had already thought deeply about it.
"Why? Aren't you a member of the Eagle Faction? Why do you want to deal with your own faction?" Hao Yun asked.
"Haha, it seems that you don't understand my current situation, but that's right. You cultivators have always been aloof, how could you care about a mortal like me." Shen Zao's face was a little ferocious, "I would be an outcast now, if it weren't for , I still have some resources on hand, it would have been over a long time ago.”
"You want revenge?" Hao Yun somewhat understood Shen Zao's thoughts.
"Revenge? This is not my purpose." Shen Zao shook his head, "Actually, I want to return to the public eye. Therefore, I must find a way to understand the current research results of the hawks. The only way to terminate their By doing research, I have a chance to replace them.”
"Is it so complicated?" Hao Yun was a little confused. Couldn't the hawks support two research institutions at the same time?
"It's not complicated. Let's put it this way. The major research institutions themselves also have competition. After all, resources are limited. What's more, people are unpredictable and have to be on guard." After Shen Zao said this, Hao Yun finally understood.
Hao Yun has actually made a move. For him, the bottom line is very important, but he is not pedantic. He treats the cultivators who traffic people in the same way and gives them a taste of being trafficked. This The approach did not break Hao Yun's bottom line. Besides, the most important thing now is to rescue Feifei.
However, Hao Yun still held back, and did not agree immediately, but deliberately said: "I will hand over these criminals to you and let you study them. In the end, they will still be used against cultivators. Do you think this kind of thing? Can I agree?"
"Then it depends on how high your companions' status is in your mind. Which is more important, the lives of those criminals or the lives of your companions."
"Hmph, don't try to threaten me with my companion. You must already know that she is immune to all attacks and no one can take her life away." Hao Yun was very unhappy.
"Yes, I don't want to deny this, but if you are not willing, then your companions can only work for me forever. If that doesn't work, I will rely on your companions to help me catch people. Although it is a little troublesome, but It's not impossible." Shen Zao looked confident.
"Where do you get your confidence from? Do you think I am just a freeloader?" Hao Yuxun said anxiously.
"I don't know whether you have a casual life or not, but I know that you must have tried these days. If you could have been rescued, you would have been rescued long ago and would not have seen me at all." Shen Zao was thoughtful enough. These days, he keeps Feifei with Hao Yun just to see if Hao Yun has the ability to rescue Feifei. Obviously, Hao Yun has accomplished nothing.
Hao Yun was speechless. These days, Feifei has been hiding in the armor, and the room she was in had very strict protective measures. If Hao Yun ran out of the river of time, not only would his whereabouts be captured by the surveillance equipment, but also The protective measures will also be triggered, and I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
"I'm right. In fact, we are all old friends. If you help me, you are helping yourself. In fact, with my help, you have the opportunity to break the buyer's market. Otherwise, the matter of trafficking cultivators will never be solved. It's over, you have to understand that if there is no business, there will be no killing, why are you so stubborn?" Shen Zao took advantage of this and gave Hao Yun a final blow.
So, out of helplessness, Hao Yun had no choice but to agree. Anyway, for Hao Yun, the worst case scenario would be to regret it. How could he still lose a piece of meat? However, when Hao Yun saw an agreement delivered by the conveyor belt, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
This agreement turned out to be the kind used by cultivators. Hao Yun was no stranger to this because he had signed many copies. At the front end, two agreements had just been signed overseas. As a result, the third agreement now appeared in front of him.
"Damn, you're too passive. People nowadays are all fucking human beings. They can't be fooled at all." Hao Yun cursed in his heart.
"Sign it, we will be partners after signing." Shen Zao persuaded from the side.
"Why do you use this kind of thing?" Hao Yun felt unwilling.
"Haha, when dealing with you cultivators, you would be really stupid if you don't know how to use spiritual contracts." Shen Zao smiled, and it was obvious that he was really happy.
Hao Yun understood after thinking about it for a moment. There was already a lot of trade between the West Wind Continent and the Lingdu Continent, so it was natural to sign various trade agreements. However, the systems of the two sides were completely different, and mortals must be the weaker party. Xifeng's laws can't deal with cultivators at all, so the only thing that both parties can really trust is the agreement for cultivators produced in Lingdu Continent, which is the spiritual contract that Shen Zao talks about.
Hao Yun took it over and looked at it carefully, and found that the content was basically a cooperation framework agreement, and there was not much substantive content. However, there was an additional clause that the two parties were not allowed to plot or attack each other. The consequences would be breach of contract. There was already a bloody fingerprint on the signature of the agreement. When Hao Yun recognized it carefully, he could feel Shen Zao's aura. It seemed that Shen Zao had been prepared before this.
Hao Yun thought about it and felt that the content of the agreement was reasonable. So he squeezed a drop of blood from the tip of his index finger and pressed it on the signature. The agreement glowed red and was successfully activated.
"Okay, let's leave the agreement on your side." Shen Zao said, with a smile almost blooming on his face.
Hao Yun endured his displeasure and asked Shen Zao to let him go. As a result, Shen Zao said, "Wait a minute, I'll come over in person right away and tell you a plan."
Not long after, Hao Yun saw Shen Zao come alive in front of him. Shen Zao looked at Hao Yun's face and suddenly said: "There is no need for you to stand up to Mr. Zhu all the time. It seems a bit awkward."
In front of Shen Zao, Hao Yun dispelled the light illusion and revealed his true face. Shen Zao sighed greatly and expressed his envy for the cultivators' magical techniques, and then informed him of his plan.
It turned out that Feifei's victory this time was actually not a good thing for Shen Zao. The reason was that the hawks saw it. Although he fulfilled his promise and the other party didn't say much, after thinking about it, Shen Zaosi felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. To be honest, most people would definitely not give up on Feifei easily after seeing Feifei's great power. However, the other party quickly flew away with the three prisoners without saying a single unnecessary word. This made Shen Zao more and more panicked. , I always feel that they will not let me go so easily.
Hao Yun wondered if Shen Zao had persecution delusions and why he had such thoughts. Besides, if you fulfilled your promise, others would have no reason to deal with you. Shen Zao smiled bitterly and said: "If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. The strength shown by the divine machine armor has far exceeded their imagination. When others can hardly catch up with you, there are only two ways, one is to destroy it." If I kill you, or take away the achievements, which path do you think you would choose if you encounter such a thing?"
