Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 682 Unexpected Proposal.

Shi Lang had just left the dragon army camp when Tian Long’s voice echoed in his mind, “Do not fly high. The skies are not safe.” The terran was surprised, but then he understood. It must be the old fellows of the big families. Shi Lang shook his head as he rushed ahead. Lightning Mane’s horse was left with the two disciples, and the lightning leopard was guarding Amelia. He did not have many options except to teleport to the Inheritance palace. However, that was not a good thing either. Two of his biggest cards were already under scrutiny, and people were eager to get their hands on them. If the means were reasonable, he would not have minded it, but the display of force made him realize once again that the powerful people would stoop to any low to get things their way. After all, the victors wrote the history. Shi Lang would not let these people use some divination method to find his location and jeopardize the Inheritance Palace. It was not an exaggeration on his part to think like this. Tian Long could divine his future from the immortal realm when this old dragon was not the peak expert in divination. The terran reached the wilderness and pricked his finger. He created eight clones, forming a matrix formation as they moved. Shi Lang later had these clones separate from the formation and scout the directions for enemy encampments. He could perceive the thoughts of these people like the back of his hand. The scouts reported the enemy position and melted. So, even if the enemy was alerted, they did not find anyone. The leaders of these teams were Immortal Kings, and they had Immortal Lords patrolling the places. Immortal Generals were no match for an Immortal Lord. The people knew that Shi Lang was a genius who had fought and led a unit of dragon army to reduce the casualties on the human side and that he had also slayed a few Demon Beast Kings with the help of Sovereign Zither Soul. The ignorant people crowned Zither Soul as the main force behind slaying the thirteen demon beast kings. In their eyes, Shi Lang was just another guy who rode the coattails of a sovereign and gained fame. What interested them were the talks of a communication device and the weapon that shot spiritually charged projectiles. Shi Lang was not as clueless about the issue as Tian Long thought him to be. The terran had placed his clones in many influential places, and his information network was strong. Even the Asura Hall was not aware of this. As the leader of the force, Shi Lang needed a few cards to deal with the misty, dark world. The terran avoided many encampments with the help of his clones. However, half a day later, he found himself in an inescapable situation. He did not think that someone would be moving around like a gypsy to hunt him down. Yes, just as the sun was about to go down, Shi Lang was spotted by a group of five Immortal Kings. He stopped, the terran knew that he could not run away from these people. He took a deep breath and asked, “Who are you, and what is the meaning of this?” The five of them had been following him for a bit, and now they had blocked his way. He was not afraid but wanted to take the path of reason if possible. Otherwise, spilling blood was not new for him. The leader of the group seemed to be a charismatic young man, who said, “Greetings, I am Xuan Qiling, this young man with red hair is Carl Hamilton, the lady in green hanfu is Miss Yue Hanling, and the two similar-looking people in the back are the twins from Cao Family, Cao Jian, and Cao Shiyan. Glad to meet you.” Shi Lang committed their names to his memory and asked, “To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from the young scions of prestigious families?” Yue Hanling narrowed her gaze and asked, “Do you know who we are?” Shi Lang nodded, and the lady said, “If so, then why are you not bowing to us? Do you not fear upsetting the Immortal Kings?” The terran did not respond to her and instead asked, “Your purpose here is?” His calm and stable tone made Cao Shiyan frown a bit before he restored the tranquil expression on his face. Yue Hanling narrowed her eyes and emitted a cold aura from her body. Shi Lang did not seem bothered and asked, “The sun is about to go down, and I was planning on barbequing some nice spirit beast meat. I will take my leave if you have nothing important to say.” Xuan Qiling asked curiously, “Can you tell me what is Barbeque?” Shi Lang cast him a glance, then looked at Cao Shiyan. He said with a deadpan expression, “I know you are the leader of this group. Would you give up the pretense and tell me what you want?” The five people were stunned. Shi Lang noticed something crucial, too. The people were stunned because he picked out the correct group leader, and at the same time when Shi Lang asked them to give up the pretense, these people stopped a bit.

Cao Shiyan raised his brow. As the leader of the group, he still had some redeeming qualities. Shi Lang smiled and asked, “What do you want? You people are not even as strong as the commanders of the Dragon Army, yet you have the gall to block my way. Either you are a bit too desperate, or you have a death wish.” Shi Lang had caught a whiff of their weakness and would not let them get away. These rookies gave him such a headache by following him for so long. The terran almost thought that some expert had tagged him, but it turned out that they were only hesitating. Shi Lang revealed a cold-blooded aura and covered the group before him. The people were taken aback because this guy was strong, and his aura alone made chills run down their spines. Cao Shiyan said, “Wait, let us talk first. If you think what we have to propose is not a hindrance, give us a chance to cooperate. Please.” Shi Lang gazed at the people silently for a prolonged period and nodded. Cao Shiyan looked around and said, “This place is not safe. Shall we find another location?” The terran was willing to listen but was not trustful of these people and said, “You can say what you want to say right here. The encampments of the Xiao Family of Luan Province is three kilometers west, and the encampment of the Jian Family is four kilometers east. They will not find us here. Now, speak.”
