Chapter 767: Taking Advantage of Others
"Are you Lu Yu?"
Xue Zhentao looked straight at Lu Yu on the bow and said coldly.
"Master Xue, nice to meet you! Lu Yu, a disciple of Jade Butterfly Peak of Dali Sword Sect, greets Master Jixian!"
Lu Yu arched his hands in a pretentious manner, as if giving him enough face.
Xue Zhentao snorted heavily.
"You are a brave boy. You dare to set your sights on our Jixian Island... If you know what's good for you, hand over the control of the Golden Snake now, and I can still let you go. Otherwise, you will definitely die without a burial place!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Didn't your real person convey my meaning to Island Master Xue? This seems to be different from what we agreed before..."
"Agreed?"
Xue Zhengtao said contemptuously: "There is no such thing as an agreement. That's just your wishful thinking! I have never agreed to any of your conditions! Don't you see the situation clearly now? What do you think of the more than 20 real people of our Yuhai Xianzong?"
"So there is no room for negotiation? In this case, Island Master Xue Master, you might as well order a strong attack to see if you can take my life..."
Lu Yu said nonchalantly: "The opponent has more than 20 real strong men here, which is indeed powerful, but it is not only your Yuhai Xianzong that can gather more than 20 real strong men at once!"
Xue Zhentao couldn't help but look slightly condensed: "What do you mean by this?"
Lu Yu's mouth curled slightly: "It doesn't matter. Since you can gather such a huge force, how can our Dali Sword Sect be worse than you?"
"Although Master Xue can order your people to launch an offensive against me, I suggest you hurry up, otherwise if you are late, our Dali Sword Sect's reinforcements will arrive!"
Xue Zhentao was shocked.
He instinctively didn't believe what Lu Yu said, because if the real strong men of Dali Sword Sect were deployed on a large scale, he would definitely receive the news.
But so far, he has not received any news of any unusual movements from Dali Sword Sect.
But Lu Yu on the other side was too calm, and his confident look didn't seem fake, which made him doubt again.
However, even if he ordered a strong attack, it would take quite some time to break through the defensive array on the Golden Snake.
During this process, Lu Yu could definitely take the opportunity to escape.
And if there were really a few real strong men from the Dali Sword Sect who sneaked out and supported him, it would undoubtedly bring endless variables to their subsequent actions.
In this case, it would be a waste of effort.
"What? Island Master Xue, haven't you made up your mind yet? Do you want to order a strong attack on the Golden Snake?"
Lu Yu said with a smile.
"In fact, I am also quite curious. It is said that the Golden Crow warship of the Ice Emperor Island Lord was able to withstand the joint attack of more than ten real masters of our Dali Sword Sect. I wonder how strong the defense of the Golden Snake will be?"
This remark became the last straw that broke Xue Zhentao's heart.
The entire Yuhai Xianzong spent so many resources, so much manpower, material resources, and mental effort to build a floating warship. If it was destroyed like this, what would happen?
If this matter drags on, when all the strong reinforcements of the Dali Sword Sect arrive, then they may lose more than just a floating warship...
Xue Zhentao snorted again: "Speak! What do you want?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Island Lord Xue should have talked like this earlier, why waste so much time? I don't want anything, just give me 100 million spirit stones!"
100 million spirit stones?
The people around couldn't help but be amazed.
He still has the nerve to say he doesn't want anything... He's asking for too much!
Behind him, Jin Shengjie looked at Lu Yu's back, feeling mixed emotions, shock, fear, and a little admiration...
Anyway, from the perspective of courage alone, there are few people in the world who can be like this guy...
"One hundred million spirit stones!" Xue Zhentao smiled coldly, "You really dare to ask!"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong with asking for this? To tell you the truth, according to the meaning of our Dali Sword Sect's master, they asked me to take the entire floating battleship back to Dali Sword Sect..."
"But this place is too far away from Dali Sword Sect, I don't want to be so hard all the way, so I proposed this condition to Island Master Xue..."
"But in this way, it is equivalent to me giving up an opportunity to make great contributions. Facing such an unprecedented contribution, I asked Island Master Xue to pay me 100 million. It's not too much, right?"
Xue Zhentao almost got angry.
Isn't this too much?
This is simply taking advantage of others!
However, at this moment, it is meaningless for him to argue with Lu Yu.
So he simply sought truth from facts...
"One hundred million, this is impossible! Where can I get so many spirit stones for you in such a hurry? Even Shengyun Mountain can't give you so many spirit stones at once!"
Xue Zhentao did not lie about this. Lu Yu had experienced it personally. Shengyun Mountain took a long time to prepare only 50 million spirit stones.
"Don't worry, Master Xue. I'm not the kind of rigid person who can't adapt. Just give me something equivalent to 100 million spirit stones. It doesn't necessarily require spirit stones..."
Lu Yu said very considerately.
"You have more than 20 real strong men present now, right? On average, each of them only needs to get something worth 5 million spirit stones. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Five million is indeed not much for a real strong man...
However, Xue Zhentao couldn't help but get even more angry.
This guy is simply plucking feathers from a passing goose. He even calculated every real strong man!
Seeing Xue Zhentao's uncertain expression, Lu Yu stopped talking nonsense with him and just said:
"Master Xue, take your time to think about it, but I suggest you hurry up, otherwise, after another hour or so, it will be hard to say whether you and I can make the decision!"
After that, he turned around and retreated from the bow without looking back.
In the air, only Xue Zhentao was left standing there alone, stunned and silent.
For a moment, he couldn't tell which of Lu Yu's words was true and which was false.
Now Xue Zhentao finally experienced the power of Lu Yu in person.
Not to mention his cultivation and Taoism, his actions alone were unpredictable and difficult to see through...
