Chapter 3187: Chapter 1073_2

Undoubtedly, if Zhou Tian were to truly propose such conditions, from all perspectives, those Heavenly Eye Users would never agree to it.

The reasons are manifold, with the primary one being that the leaders of those few forces at the time had no intention of honestly handing over their lives. Therefore, if any other forces had agreed to Zhou Tian’s conditions, it was almost certain that a conflict would arise between the parties. Moreover, with such an unstable factor currently present, observing the reasons those forces initially made their intentions known, it’s foreseeable that an event causing significant casualties among the Heavenly Eye Users in that area would be something they would absolutely strive to prevent.

Therefore, truly causing an internal war to erupt among them would be something none of the forces would agree to, even if Zhou Tian would never take action against them.

It’s just that, even though from the perspective of that Heavenly Eye User at the time, if Zhou Tian indeed proposed such conditions as imagined, there would be no possibility of reaching an agreement. However, given Zhou Tian’s destructive power, if it could be avoided, they still hoped to negotiate peacefully.

Thus, even though it was indeed believed at the time that Zhou Tian’s conditions would not be accepted, holding onto the notion that they had to negotiate no matter what, that Heavenly Eye User responded after hearing Zhou Tian’s words: "Which people, you tell me!"

"This must be asked to the person in charge behind that arena, who sold me out initially. Hand them over now, and I’ll consider this matter as having never happened."

"What, you were..."

In the eyes of those Heavenly Eye Users, an existence as powerful as Zhou Tian was likely a strong being hidden away in some place, cultivating diligently, only appearing at this time due to grievances with those forces to exact revenge. In the minds of those Heavenly Eye Users at that time, many possibilities were considered, but they absolutely couldn’t have imagined that a powerful existence like Zhou Tian had once been sold.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words, that Heavenly Eye User almost exclaimed in surprise right away. Even after recovering, that Heavenly Eye User immediately silenced themselves, but even so, the abnormality was still displayed.

Ignoring the cautious gaze of that Heavenly Eye User, Zhou Tian naturally knew the reason for their unease. Clearly, since Zhou Tian dared to bring up such matters openly, it signifies that he truly doesn’t regard them as significantly as imagined. Thus, no matter how excessive that Heavenly Eye User’s performance was, Zhou Tian wouldn’t directly engage in a life-and-death struggle over such a trivial reason.

Hence, Zhou Tian directly ignored that Heavenly Eye User’s actions at that time. Zhou Tian could ignore them, but that Heavenly Eye User couldn’t pretend nothing happened, considering that his previous behavior was somewhat over the line.

However, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his previous performance, that Heavenly Eye User did not have the mind to focus on those matters at the moment. From that Heavenly Eye User’s perspective, he had more important matters to address—how to act to satisfy Zhou Tian.

If Zhou Tian’s previously proposed conditions were, in the eyes of that Heavenly Eye User, utterly impossible for his superiors to agree to, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words now, the conditions were negotiable.

What’s there to hesitate about, aren’t they just a few Heavenly Eye Users?

That’s right, Zhou Tian had indeed killed many Heavenly Eye Users at that time. It was exactly because Zhou Tian had killed so many Heavenly Eye Users that forces that originally did not want to intervene in this struggle had no choice but to emerge from the shadows. However, even if those forces appeared to stop Zhou Tian from continuing to kill Heavenly Eye Users, Zhou Tian had already taken so many lives. As long as Zhou Tian ceased further slaughters, handing over a few Heavenly Eye Users to appease him, most forces wouldn’t refuse.

Moreover, no matter Zhou Tian’s original identity, at least at this moment, he was in their territory. From the perspective of those forces, it was as if an immense opportunity was laid before them.

Recruits Zhou Tian!

Although the feasibility of that seems low at the time—one wrong move might anger Zhou Tian, turning him against them, possibly leading to their annihilation—still, alongside the risk lies great benefit. If they can truly recruit Zhou Tian, those benefits would be immense, which the leaders of those forces could only imagine.

That awareness of immense profits from recruiting Zhou Tian made those forces willing to try, despite knowing it wouldn’t be easy.

After all, no matter how powerful Zhou Tian appeared, from the perspective of those forces, at that time, Zhou Tian still remained an outsider. Perhaps with his strength, he could fare well in their domain, but without a corresponding foundation, pulling together a team quickly was unlikely.

Thus, Zhou Tian would either start small, growing into a major force over time through diligence, or, given his situation, could only defect to other forces.

Evidently, regardless of Zhou Tian’s thoughts at the time, those force leaders had already made up their minds. Zhou Tian’s intentions were secondary; what’s crucial is the combat power Zhou Tian represents. Once under their control, domination of that area was conceivable, with further intentions of engaging other areas in warfare and annexing more territories.

Given the huge benefits from Zhou Tian joining their force, it didn’t matter how Zhou Tian felt; the leaders of those forces would use any tactics to influence Zhou Tian’s decision, eventually compelling him to join them.

Of course, in terms of layout concerning Zhou Tian, all those forces had similar thoughts, employing the same tactics. However, even though similar tactics would be used, as they all wished for Zhou Tian to join their force, they would have to fight among themselves.

There is only one Zhou Tian, and whomever brings him into their team would almost be destined to unify that area. Facing such enormous benefits, those forces cared little for losses and wouldn’t allow Zhou Tian to join any other forces.

Ultimately, due to the circumstances at the time, with Zhou Tian oblivious to why those forces acted that way, those forces almost unanimously began actions to curry favor with Zhou Tian immediately.

It began with those few Heavenly Eye Users.

From the perspective of internal members of those forces, the actions of the few Heavenly Eye Users seemed justified—even selling Zhou Tian initially was seen as a significant feat. At least, if they were in the position of those Heavenly Eye Users, other Heavenly Eye Users likely would have acted similarly.

However, fate had Zhou Tian survive and awaken his Heavenly Eye.

If Zhou Tian’s power after awakening had been average, that group of Heavenly Eye Users would definitely encounter some troubles, but it wouldn’t cost them their lives.

Yet after being sold, Zhou Tian’s power surged remarkably. Now, with no one in that area daring to confront Zhou Tian directly, even if Zhou Tian’s conditions seemed excessive, to prevent further outbreaks from Zhou Tian, that group of Heavenly Eye Users could only become sacrificial lambs.
