Chapter 1893
byIf there is a Void King Realm Layer 2 expert at one’s disposal, and coupled with the identity of a Void King-level alchemist like Zuo De, it would mean being unrivaled in the entire star field！
Zuo De couldn’t help but be tempted. Although he felt that this was a trap set by Yang Kai, yet out of confidence in his own alchemy skills, he couldn’t help but want to agree immediately.
Yang Kai! Xue Yue let out a cry, seemingly wanting to persuade, but was stopped by Yang Kai raising his hand.
He stared at Zuo De and said lightly, “I, Yang Kai, am not talented. Currently, I have the cultivation of Void King Realm Layer 2, and it is precisely the time when I am in my prime. It should be no problem to live for a few thousand years. It is more than enough time to be your bodyguard for a thousand years. I just don’t know if you, Master, dare to take this bet.”
Aio’s expression changed, and many alchemists’ expressions also changed. They were all shocked by Yang Kai’s astonishing moves.
Zuo De’s face changed several times, and he nodded and said, “What you said is right. This proposal really makes this old man tempted！ But just being a bodyguard is not enough. I want you to obey my orders！”
As soon as these words came out, Aio’s face sank, looking very unhappy.
A Void King Realm powerhouse, which one is not a lofty figure? Even when facing Zuo De, they restrain their arrogance out of respect for him. Yang Kai said that he would be Zuo De’s bodyguard for a thousand years. In Ai Ou’s opinion, this is already an extremely incredible thing and something extremely difficult to endure. If it were him, he would never agree no matter what.
But Zuo De is not only not satisfied, but also wants Yang Kai to obey his every word.
This is no longer just a bodyguard, but a servant！
A bodyguard only needs to be responsible for protecting Zuo De’s personal safety, but a servant is different. A servant needs to complete all kinds of orders issued by Zuo De and completely give up his own dignity.
This is an insult and contempt to a Void King Realm powerhouse!
Ai Ou is also a Void King Realm powerhouse, and like Yang Kai, he is also at the second level of the Void King Realm. He can empathize with Yang Kai’s current situation and inevitably gives birth to anger.
Zuo De also didn’t seem to expect that Yang Kai would agree so readily. He thought that the other party would bargain with him. He made this proposal just to reap as many benefits as possible, and even quickly came up with several alternative plans in his heart, such as asking Yang Kai to unconditionally obey his orders several times…
But he didn’t expect that there would be no place for him to use them, and for a while, he was a little stunned. But soon, he spoke again： “A thousand years is not enough, two thousand years！”
“Okay！” Yang Kai agreed again without even thinking about it.
“Master Zuo De！” Ai Ou suddenly shouted in a deep voice, “Isn’t this proposal a bit excessive？”
He finally couldn’t hold back the anger in his heart. It was fine that Zuo De arrived at Shui Tian City so late. It was even okay to use Xue Yue’s marriage to blackmail himself. But now he was actually making such an exorbitant demand and directly increasing the time limit from one thousand years to two thousand years.
Who could endure being bound for two thousand years？
Ai Ou couldn’t endure it.
Anyway, Yang Kai’s proposal to compete with Zuo De in alchemy was for Gu Bihu’s consideration. Although Ai Ou didn’t know why Yang Kai was doing this, he was still very grateful to him in his heart. Whether this matter could be accomplished or not, he had to owe Yang Kai a favor, a huge favor.
In this world, which Void King Realm Layer 2 expert would be willing to use one or two thousand years of freedom to do such a thing.
There was only one person！
So he didn’t hesitate to stand up, changed his previous attitude, and accused Zuo De.
If he didn’t even have this bit of courage and determination, then he wouldn’t be worthy of being the president of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce.
Zuo De sneered and said, “He himself has already agreed. What are you in a hurry for, President Ai Ou？”
Yang Kai looked at Ai Ou and smiled faintly, “President Ai Ou, don’t be impatient. Although I have promised two thousand years, but… whether the master can live for so long is also an unknown number.”
This sentence faintly seemed to be cursing Zuo De to die soon and be reborn. Zuo De was a Return to Void 3-layer martial artist and had already lived for many years. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a Void King-level alchemist. The next two thousand years were indeed a long way for him.
Zuo De’s complexion couldn’t help but sink, and he coldly harrumphed： “Don’t worry. For today’s bet, this old man will strive to live past the two-thousand-year deadline.”
“I hope so.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.
Ai Ou sighed and actually raised his hand to pat Yang Kai’s shoulder： “Brother Yang, from now on, you and I are brothers. Today’s matter, Ai will remember it.”
“Hehe…” The corner of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, and in the depths of his heart, it was as if all kinds of flavors were surging up together like a spilled seasoning shop and he didn’t know whether it was joy or sorrow.
He quickly changed the topic and said： “Yang’s bet has been set. What about yours, Master？”
Zuo De’s expression was cold, and he said： “What do you think is appropriate for this old man to set as a bet？”
Yang Kai smiled slightly： “Yang is using his own personal freedom as a bet. Since this is the case, for the sake of fairness, shouldn’t Master do the same？”
Zuo De’s brow furrowed, and he didn’t answer immediately.
“What？ Master doesn’t dare to take it？ Could it be that Master has no confidence in his alchemy skills and feels that he will lose to Yang？” Yang Kai fanned the flames at the side.
“Ridiculous！” Zuo De was furious. “In the way of alchemy, I will not lose to anyone. Provoking me is useless！”
“Tut-tut…” Yang Kai made a strange sound. “Master seems to be unable to afford to lose. Well, forget it. Since you are so angry, I won’t ask you to bet with your personal freedom for so many years. How about this… In your lifetime, refine a hundred Void King Grade spirit pills for me every year.”
“A hundred pills every year？” Zuo De’s expression turned angry. “Don’t you think it’s a bit too much？”
Before Yang Kai could speak, Zong Ao, who had been standing aside, said coldly, “Master, you are wrong. Yang Kai is betting with two thousand years of personal freedom. He is a Void King 2-layer Realm powerhouse. Don’t you think you should take out an equivalent bet？ A hundred Void King Grade spirit pills every year is nothing to you, but two thousand years of freedom is very heavy for Yang Kai. You are also a respected person. This won’t do and that won’t do. Are you just relying on your age？”
Zong Ao had been watching the show for a long time and couldn’t bear it anymore.
Originally, as a fellow alchemist, although he despised Zuo De’s character a little, he still respected him quite a bit. After all, those who are better are teachers. But now, seeing that the old guy’s character is even worse than he imagined, compared with him, Yang Kai’s personal charm is simply extremely great.
The only remaining trace of respect for Zuo De in his heart also vanished into thin air.
Hearing Zong Ao’s words, Zuo De remained unmoved and sneered, “In my opinion, his personal freedom is not worth a penny. On the contrary, my hundred Void King-level spiritual pills every year will make people fight to the death. I don’t know how many people will lose their lives！”
“Hmm… There is some truth in what you said.” To everyone’s surprise, Yang Kai actually nodded in agreement and said, “Well then, I won’t ask you for a hundred pills every year. How about eighty pills？”
“Fifty pills, no more！” Zuo De waved his hand.
“Seventy-five pills…”
“Fifty-five!”
“Seventy pills！”
“Sixty!”
“Deal！”
Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, the two quickly haggled and bargained, and finally set the number at sixty Void King-level spiritual pills every year！
Although it was a little less than what Yang Kai proposed, sixty Void King-level spiritual pills were also an unimaginable fortune. In this entire star field, any Void King-level spiritual pill was enough to make people fight for it and even lose their lives for it.
Only a master like Zuo De could casually mention hundreds and sixty…
“Kid!” After the conditions were negotiated, Zuo De seemed to reveal his hideous face and grinned at Yang Kai “Today’s bet between you and me was set in front of President Ao and so many Void-level alchemists. If you dare not admit it when you lose…”
Don’t worry. President Aio enjoys a reputation throughout the star domain and acts impartially. He is not like some people who deceive the world and steal a reputation. I want to ask him to be an arbiter. If either of us dares to renege on our bet, then President Aio can kill us on the spot! Yang Kai suggested with a smile.
Zuo De couldn’t help but change his expression, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes.
He was only at the Void Return Third Layer. If Aio really wanted to kill him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to survive until tomorrow.
After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, “It’s not that this old man doubts President Aio’s character, but… you are also a Void King Second Layer powerhouse, with the same cultivation level as President Aio. If you want to escape, President Aio might not be able to stop you.”
Aio’s face turned cold. Just as he was about to say something, a subtle energy fluctuation suddenly rippled in the void. Immediately, a figure suddenly appeared.
This person had a smile on his face, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. His hair and beard were all white, but his complexion was extremely ruddy, looking like a young man. He had a sheathed long sword slung diagonally behind his back, and his figure was straight. Standing there, the whole person was like a peerless sharp blade hidden with its making people feel awed.
He carried his hands behind his back and walked down from the sky step by step. He smiled and said, “If Aio can’t stop him, I will take action to intercept him myself. What does Master Zuo De think？”
Hearing this person’s voice, the crowd finally reacted and quickly looked towards him. After seeing his face clearly, Ior couldn’t help but be shocked and quickly bow: “Uncle Long, why have you come?”
Uncle Long…
Ior’s address immediately made the crowd understand this person’s identity.
The only Void King Realm Third Layer expert of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, a figure standing at the peak of the star field, Long Tianshang！
The Purple Star has the Kuang Shi Sect sitting in town, and the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce has Long Tianshang sitting in town. These two people are both powerful existences that shake the universe.
However, in terms of reputation, Long Tianshang’s reputation is much greater than that of the Kuang Shi Sect. Because a thousand years ago, when Long Tianshang had just advanced to the Void King Realm Third Layer, for some unknown reason, he went to a cultivation star and then wiped out a total of dozens of Sect power, large and small there. The area of tens of millions of miles above that cultivation star was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses, like a hell on earth.
That battle, Long Tianshang’s notoriety spread far and wide！ When people in the star field talked about this person, their faces all changed.
