Chapter 205: Chapter 101: The Dragon Roams the Shallows! Expedition to the Blue Sea!_3
Sikong Wen was calm, his aged face full of wrinkles.
They couldn’t ignore Sikong Zhan’s life or death, but they had to consider the risks involved; otherwise, they would only endanger more lives with even more tragic casualties!
As the two discussed, they both focused their gaze on Su Changkong.
After all, the final decision rested on Su Changkong!
After all, with Su Changkong impersonating Sikong Yong, if he truly agreed, he would have to enter Li Hun’s territory, which meant willingly entering a highly dangerous situation. One could imagine the risks involved.
Even if Su Changkong was unwilling to risk his life, it would be within reason, and no one could force him against his will.
Su Changkong was also considering his options. Since it had taken Li Hun so long to send someone, they must have made comprehensive preparations, turning their domain into an extremely dangerous place. Even a master like Sikong Yong would struggle alone and face the risk of death if he fell into it!
After mulling it over for a while and under the hopeful gazes of Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang, Su Changkong finally spoke, “I can make the trip, but I have my conditions!”
This brought simultaneous joy to Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang; with Su Changkong’s willingness to help, there lay their greatest hope!
Sikong Wen eagerly said, “Little Friend Su, state any conditions you have. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse!”
Su Changkong was risking his life, so making even more extravagant demands wouldn’t be considered excessive.
Su Changkong slowly said, “First, the elite forces of the Giant Whale Gang must be fully deployed to the Blue Rain Sea. If negotiations fail, it will surely lead to a fierce battle to the death! Alone, I can’t kill thousands, nearly tens of thousands of people. Should danger arise, I will prioritize saving my own life!”
While Su Changkong was to negotiate with Li Hun, the entire Giant Whale Gang would wait outside. If the talks were to fail, it would lead to a life-and-death battle, and Su Changkong would also need the Giant Whale Gang’s martial artists to cooperate from within and without, to annihilate them without leaving a single survivor!
At the same time, Su Changkong laid out his stance upfront—if the task proved impossible, he would flee to save his life.
With Su Changkong’s current combat power, if he focused solely on escaping, he believed that even with hundreds or thousands of enemies surrounding him, he could fight his way in and out, and saving his life would not be an issue!
“Of course! The Giant Whale Gang is currently very united, with the Gang Leader’s authority respected. The four Hall Masters will also obediently follow orders, capable of launching an all-out strike with the might of the entire gang!”
Sikong Wen nodded without hesitation.
In the past, the Giant Whale Gang was divided into two factions, and neither the Sikong Family nor Meng Sang could command the four Hall Masters. But with Su Changkong impersonating Sikong Yong, they could be mobilized.
“Furthermore, if a full-scale war breaks out between the two sides, it will surely continue until one side is annihilated. If we win, I want sixty percent of the spoils from this battle,” Su Changkong demanded another condition.
At his current martial arts realm, the Qi Blood Four Transformation, advancing through each subsequent transformation would become increasingly difficult, demanding ever more resources.
Like Meng Sang, who had been the Deputy Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang for decades, in a position of power, naturally, he could acquire a vast amount of cultivation resources. Yet even so, he was only able to reach the Qi Blood Six Transformation realm.
The birth of a strong individual could not do without the piling up of abundant resources!
If Su Changkong wanted to swiftly complete multiple Blood Refinings, he needed ample resources, combined with the digestive power of the Giant Whale Skill.
Hence, Su Changkong made this demand. If negotiations failed and they had to engage in battle, annihilating those sea pirates would likely yield a significant haul, from which Su Changkong wanted to claim sixty percent of all the spoils!
These spoils could be exchanged for money, turned into a vast amount of cultivation resources, which would help propel Su Changkong to even higher levels!
Waging war was expensive; it was necessary to stimulate the gang members to fight bravely with substantial rewards. If any gang members were wounded or killed, compensation had to be issued to their families.
If Su Changkong took sixty percent of the spoils for himself, the Giant Whale Gang might end up at a financial loss as a result of the battle.
But after only a slight hesitation, Sikong Wen agreed, “Agreed!”
Su Changkong was the one risking his life to penetrate deep into enemy territory, and during the negotiations, if an agreement was reached, they could avoid battle altogether.
As for war, securing victory was the most critical thing. If they truly won, even if sixty percent of the spoils went to Su Changkong, potentially leading to the Giant Whale Gang’s financial loss, the long-term perspective revealed it would actually be profitable!
By defeating the sea pirates, the Giant Whale Gang could significantly enhance its influence, gaining more territory and wealth!
It was a win-win situation!
“Fine, let them in,” Su Changkong finally nodded in satisfaction, raising his voice.
“Yes!”
Sounds of acknowledgment came from outside the Juyi Hall.
“Gang Leader Sikong.”
Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng entered the hall cautiously, greeting Su Changkong respectfully, knowing that a decision had just been reached.
“Leave the location of the appointment, tell Li Hun that this seat will see what tricks he can conjure up!” Su Changkong said, looking down at the two, his expression impassive.
“Yes!”
Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng were both inwardly pleased by the words. Was he really daring enough to keep the appointment on Li Hun’s territory? This also meant that their lives were likely spared!
“We look forward to welcoming Gang Leader Sikong at the appointed time!”
After Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng left the exact location and coordinates, they took their leave to report the good news to Li Hun.
“Brother, does this Sikong Yong really dare to keep the appointment? During this time, Leader Li Hun has been visiting all around, building relationships, having already united several individuals with a grudge against the Giant Whale Gang, making thorough preparations. Sikong Yong is brave enough to keep the appointment, but entering is easy, leaving will be difficult!” Zhu Feng said on the way back, somewhat astonished.
“Heh heh! The rumor is that Sikong Yong is unparalleled in bravery, but in reality, he is just a fool! His son is in our hands, so he has to obey obediently. When the time comes for him to keep the appointment, once he enters our territory, let’s see if he can still be so imposing!” Zhu Wei sneered, remembering how Sikong Yong had frightened him into kneeling and begging for mercy, which he found deeply humiliating. He was eagerly anticipating seeing Sikong Yong in a desperate and unfortunate state!
