Chapter 836 Lin Dong: Why waste words on things that can be solved with a single finger?

However, just as everyone had left, Long Yu...

The other person paused in mid-air, then turned around and slowly said to Shi Hao, "Fellow Daoist Huang, there is something else I need to tell you..."

Shi Hao didn't turn around, but simply gave a faint "hmm" to signal him to continue.

"I heard... Ning Chuan, the six-time champion, has already emerged from seclusion."

Long Yu's voice deepened, carrying a deliberate solemnity: "Moreover... he has already allied with that mysterious man in front of the haunted house, intending to join forces against you..."

"What?"

Cao Yusheng was the first to change his expression, a rare look of shock appearing on his chubby face: "Ning Chuan has emerged from seclusion? And he's even allied with that banished immortal from before the haunted lair?"

Qingyi's expression also changed: "Ningchuan and Shihao are mortal enemies, and now with that Immortal on the list, if the two of them join forces, Shihao will surely be defeated. Ningchuan is extremely arrogant and never bothers to join forces with others. Anyone who can make him take the initiative to form an alliance must be no less powerful than him."

The Moon Jade Rabbit shrank its neck and said in a trembling voice, "Then...then isn't Brother Shi Hao in danger now?"

Seeing the reactions of Cao Yusheng and the others, Long Yu's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

He knew that the news he had dropped was significant enough to shake the resolve of Shi Hao and the others.

So, he pressed his advantage and continued, "Fellow Daoist Huang, I know how terrifying the power of Ning Chuan's alliance with that mysterious man is, but if you join our alliance, the Fallen God Child and Jun Dao will fight alongside you. Their strength is no less than Ning Chuan's, and if they join forces, they may be able to contend with Ning Chuan and that mysterious man."

He paused deliberately at this point, his tone becoming more sincere: "Of course, everything comes at a price. If you want Jun Dao and the Fallen God Child to help you, you'll need to show some sincerity. Jun Dao and the Fallen God Child have already told me that they hope to share the immortal body you recently acquired to help them take that step faster and cultivate immortal energy. Of course, they won't take your things for free; they will offer treasures of equal value in exchange. This isn't a loss for you..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao finally turned around.

He looked at Long Yu with calm eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "If their treasures are of extraordinary value, I don't mind offering my immortal body... so they can comprehend them together."

Upon hearing this, Long Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he even clasped his hands in a gesture of excitement, saying, "Fellow Daoist Huang is indeed quick-witted and outspoken. I will return immediately to report this matter to Lord Jun Dao and the Fallen God Child, and I guarantee that the result will satisfy Fellow Daoist Huang!"

After saying that, he turned around again, and his figure quickly disappeared into the void.

This time, he's really gone.

After Long Yu's aura completely disappeared, Cao Yusheng immediately approached Shi Hao and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shi Hao, were what you said just now true? Are you really planning to let them comprehend the Immortal Body? That was something we found with great difficulty. Although a large part was destroyed, the remaining part is priceless!"

Shi Hao did not answer his question immediately, but looked in the direction where Long Yu disappeared, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, "What I said just now was partly true and partly false. Ning Chuan's alliance with the mysterious man in front of the haunted house did surprise me, but I am not surprised that the people of Heaven and the Underworld have come together, because these two forces have been colluding and working together before."

Lin Dong frowned and asked, "Is the news that Ning Chuan has formed an alliance with the mysterious man true or false?"

Shi Hao shook his head: "If you're talking about Ning Chuan forming an alliance with someone, that's absolutely impossible. How arrogant and conceited is Ning Chuan? He can dominate the world on his own and wouldn't stoop to joining forces with others. Besides, now that I'm famous, it's even less likely that he would form an alliance with someone at this time. That would be tantamount to admitting that he's inferior to me. Ning Chuan's pride won't allow him to do that."

He paused, then continued his analysis: "The reason Long Yu spread this false information was simply to put pressure on us, to make us think that Ning Chuan and that mysterious man had joined forces, so that we would panic and agree to their conditions. But he still knows too little about me."

As Shi Hao said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Actually, I had no intention of joining forces with that Jun Dao and the Fallen God Child at all."

Lin Dong was taken aback: "Then why did you agree to him just now...?"

"I agreed to his request only to extract some priceless treasures from them."

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Since Jun Dao and the Fallen God Child are willing to offer treasures of equal value in exchange for the opportunity to comprehend the Immortal Body, it means they definitely have a lot of good stuff. Rather than forming an alliance with them, it's better to trick them into giving us their treasures. As for whether they can comprehend the Immortal Qi... that's their business, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyi was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "You... so that's what you were planning..."

Cao Yusheng finally came to his senses. He patted his stomach and chuckled, "I knew Brother Shi Hao wouldn't give in so easily. Turns out he was fishing... Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

The Jade Rabbit blinked and asked softly, "What if they can't produce a supreme treasure?"

Shi Hao sneered, "That's even simpler. Since they can't produce any supreme treasures, they naturally won't have the face to come asking me for the Immortal Body again, and this matter will just pass."

Hearing this, Lin Dong, who had never been to school, finally understood what was going on.

He gave Shi Hao a thumbs up and exclaimed sincerely, "Brother Shi Hao, you're even more cunning than Third Brother!"

Han Li stood aside, glanced at Lin Dong expressionlessly, and said nothing, but silently noted this debt in his heart.

Lin Dong really doesn't know how to talk.

The way he just said it made it sound like he really liked to nitpick.

His style of doing things is cautious and meticulous, not petty and calculating!

Lin Dong noticed Han Li's gaze and instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized something and quickly said to Han Li with a sheepish smile, "Third Brother, don't misunderstand. I wasn't saying anything bad about you just now; I was praising you..."

Han Li's lips twitched: "If what you just said counts as a compliment, then I really can't think of anything you said that was an insult..."

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, "You know, I never swear. If someone makes me unhappy, I just poke them with my finger. I would never waste words with them..."
