As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

"I promise you."

After much deliberation, Bai Jia finally agreed to Zhong Yanchang's request.

They had no choice but to agree; their options were completely blocked.

The only saving grace is that Liu Ren isn't a fool—he knows that the Ghost Contract binds everyone in the Golden Crow Group.

This is precisely why Bai Jia still has the opportunity to pursue his own interests.

The Golden Crow Group can no longer take action.

Therefore, the only force capable of erasing Liu Ren, this heretic, is the Sky-Piercing Gang.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhong Yanchang was willing to compromise.

“I knew you would make the right choice.” Zhong Yanchang smiled slightly and sent the strange contract to Bai Jia.

After looking at the contents, Bai Jia said, "I'm not absolutely certain I can bring the guys from the Crimson Cloud Society and the Profound Yin Society here."

Although these two forces were right next door.

But none of the people who manage to climb up the ranks are fools.

Why do something that doesn't bring you any benefit?

Even if it was for the purpose of killing Liu Ren, that reason still wasn't enough.

After all, although Liu Ren was arrogant, he had only killed some members of Fanwuduan.

Those members of the Wuduan faction, while influential, were few in number.

These two companies are not without the possibility of rejecting Baijia.

"Then I won't worry about it. Anyway, you have to find a way to bring those two families over." Zhong Yanchang shrugged, indicating that Bai Jia should figure it out herself.

"If it's just about killing Liu Ren, my Qingtian Gang is more than capable. Why do you insist on dragging those two families into this?" Bai Jia looked up at Zhong Yanchang and asked, "Or do you think Liu Ren can leave unscathed from my grasp?"

Is this possible?

Logically speaking, the possibility is extremely low.

Bai Jia is, after all, a demon-level being who has entered the realm of the supernatural, okay?

Their strength speaks for itself.

If we were to bring along a few more P2-level Soul-Slaying combatants, let alone Liu Ren, even Zhong Yanchang would have to suffer greatly to leave here.

Faced with Bai Jia's question, Zhong Yan smiled and replied with two words: "Hard to say."

"..."

“This person is special. Although he hasn’t become a demon, he clearly already possesses the combat power of one. I don’t want to underestimate such an heretic, and besides…”

As Zhong Yan was speaking, he suddenly fell silent and stared blankly for a while.

He recalled his previous negotiations with Liu Ren.

That guy... gave Zhong Yanchang a very subtle feeling.

Even with his constant pressure, Liu Ren never wavered.

It wasn't until he said he would join forces with Bai Jia that Liu Rencai truly reconsidered.

what does this mean?

This means that this is the only thing that the other party should truly worry about.

Besides, he has a certain degree of confidence regardless of whether it is Bai Jia or Zhong Yanchang who launches an attack unilaterally.

This is terrible.

Zhong Yanchang did not know where Liu Ren's confidence came from.

But he's not stupid.

Now that he has a solid foundation for his goal, he needs to make even more thorough preparations.

Otherwise, if this matter is not handled well, Liu Ren might really slip away.

That would be the end of us.

Being watched by such a powerful figure would be unpleasant for any force.

Even if the Golden Crow Group's members who have entered the realm of the supernatural can protect themselves, can ordinary people like Fanwuduan protect themselves?

There's no guarantee of anything.

If they end up with only one leader left, that would be a huge problem.

Once a new beacon tower becomes available, the Golden Crow Group will no longer be able to acquire it at minimal cost—such conventional methods are based on the unspoken rule that ordinary martial artists and those who have entered the realm of trickery do not interfere with each other.

What would happen if Fanwuduan were to lose its people?

Then the only option is to use the infiltrators to fight outside the beacon tower.

Once the war between those who have fallen into the trap begins, the situation will become completely out of control.

The last vestiges of order vanished.

What remains is only ruthless infighting and brutal competition.

That kind of chaos was terrifying.

Zhong Yan had witnessed it firsthand.

"Besides what?"

"...Besides, there's a saying in Jiuhuang: 'Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos.' If we're going to make a move, we must make it deadly and leave no room for error. Bai Jia, you probably don't want another powerful enemy to escape from your grasp, do you?"

"..."

Bai Jia certainly didn't want that.

Zhong Yanchang's caution made him very uncomfortable.

Even though it was just a small P5, they still had to bring in a bunch of powerful people to suppress and kill it, just in case.

How should I put it...?

That's being a little too cautious.

However, Bai Jia was, after all, the leader of a faction.

He also knew that caution was a good thing.

“Of course I don’t want to. But between the Xuan Yin Society and the Chi Xiao Society, I’m only responsible for ensuring that one of them sends someone. If the other refuses, you’ll have to pay the price yourself,” Bai Jia said coldly.

"I sacrificed a malevolent artifact and two demonic contracts to set him up. All I asked you to do was bring in two forces he'd offended, and you couldn't even do that? When did you become so useless?"

"Even if you argue until the end, you'll still have to pay for the other company yourself." Bai Jia scoffed, waving his hand to indicate that there was no room for negotiation.

In his opinion, with the addition of strong individuals from either the Xuan Yin Society or the Chi Xiao Society, they would be able to crush Liu Ren.

Let alone Liu Ren, even if it were Zhong Yanchang, with the combined strength of both families, they could easily crush him!

There's no need to spend more money.

Seeing Bai Jia's attitude, Zhong Yanchang quickly realized what he was thinking.

Compared to her own caution, Bai Jia was ultimately more confident.

Zhong Yanchang was silent for two seconds, but finally nodded: "I can provide another ghost artifact of the Spirit Wraith level. If the other party comes, great; if not, that's fine too."

Hearing that Zhong Yanchang was actually willing to pay an extra price, Bai Jia looked at him with surprise again: "Are you really afraid of him?"

Zhong Yanchang: "..."

Sometimes Zhong Yanchang would wonder if he was being overly cautious.

But recalling past experiences, he knew that being overly cautious wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

After signing the revised contract with Bai Jia, Zhong Yan stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside.

Since the end of the chaos in East District 1, many things have unfolded as he had anticipated.

If it weren't for Liu Ren's sudden rise to power, given his pace, it would only be a matter of time before the Qingtian Gang was swallowed up.

As long as this anomaly can be eliminated, even if it costs one evil-level artifact, one spirit-level artifact, and two artifact contracts, it will be worth it.
