Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 684 Cards On The Table.

Cao Shiyan replied, "Brother, you do not have to worry about anything. The families will set up maintenance shops. They are all money-grubbing old fellows, so they have been unable to reach the next level for decades. They are very materialistic; thus, the mindset hampers their cultivation, yet they never learn. They will not let go of such an opportunity."

Shi Lang was stunned, but then he nodded after he understood the sentiments of the people. He said, "Fine, I will give you the designs for the weapon, but the Jade Towers will distribute the communicator. You can have those old men go there and talk to Fairy Moon Jade."

Cao Shiyan nodded and said, "I understand. It was a good choice of business."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Now it is your turn to show your cards. How are you going to take care of your elder siblings?"

Cao Shiyan smiled and gazed at Carl Hamilton. The latter said, "You know my name, so let me tell you what I can do. I know a poison that will sit deep inside your body harmlessly, even if it was thousands of years. The poison will not affect your body or hinder your cultivation. However, once it comes in contact with lightning, the poison will erupt, and your body will turn ashes."

Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and asked, "What is the name of this poison? Will it not be detected after the bones have turned to ashes."

Carl Hamilton shook his head and said, "The poison is called Cursed extermination. The name sounds a bit too loud, but the effect is apt. The biggest quality of this poison is that it cannot be detected until someone from the Immortal Sovereign realm comes and personally checks it."

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and said, "Carry on. You are leaving me too much room to doubt you."

Carl Hamilton said, "If they come into contact with lightning now, they will die. The poison was administered to them after they consolidated their foundation as Immortal Kings. They did not have the skills to detect the poison, and we have acted like good stewards since they were young. They are out of the family now, and the Immortal Emperors guard them from the families. If they were to fight you, they would die, and the expert from the family would report it back to the family by themselves."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Do you think I am a fool to fight with them and take the blame for their deaths? They are the first children of the family. Young masters and young mistresses, if they died fighting a nobody, the family would look for me. On the other hand, you people will reap the rewards.

Now that I know what you are up to, I might as well hand things over to them, and do not think you can stop me."

Cao Shiyan replied, "You are correct, but who said you will have to fight with them? You only have to do one thing."

Shi Lang asked, "What is that?"

Cao Shiyan smiled and said, "Rain lighting on them. Make it seem like they are going to face a tribulation."

Shi Lang gawked, and then he laughed. He laughed so loud that the five people frowned. The terran regained his composure and asked, "It is not that you take me for a fool. You are a fool yourself. Do you not know the difference between the magnitude of a tribulation? I will never be able to create an effect like that."

The people sighed, and Cai Shiyan said, "You underestimate us too much. Your task is to gather clouds and throw lightning in the mix. They will die, do not worry."

Shi Lang furrowed his brows, and Xuan Qiling said, "I have a beast companion that can create the effect of the lightning tribulations strike."

The terran wanted to roll his eyes when he saw Xuan Qiling bring out a beast as big as an infant deer. He was shocked and did not know what was going on there. He mumbled, "This is a legendary beast cub?"

Xuan Qiling smiled and said, "When I was not yet born, my great-great-great-grandmother saved the life of a Qiling. The patriarch of the Qiling clan was embarrassed and wanted to pay off the debt of life. My ancestor scammed him into entering a lifelong bond of friendship. So, every child in the family gets to visit the Qiling clan, and the newborns there will select a person they like.

My elder brother was despised for arrogance, but I don\'t know why Xiao Qin chose me. Do not look at her size. She is ten years old and a hell of a lot smarter than me."

Shi Lang was shocked. He did not know why, but he wanted to ask, \'Can your family adopt me?\'

This was a legendary beast. This entity was so strong that it could level kingdoms in a blink, and that was when it was a child. Shi Lang bowed his head to the small deer-like creature, too.

The people were surprised, and what shocked their souls was that the Qiling also bowed back to Shi Lang. It was said that Qilings, especially the legendary beasts, would not bow to a human until they owed them a favor or acknowledged the person\'s presence at an equal level.

Shi Lang raised his head, and without caring for their shocked faces, he asked, "What is the plan?"

Cao Shiyan said, "They are all gathered in the encampment of the Ning Family. The Ning family is the local snake in this region. They are the biggest and the only option for the people to seek resources this close to the border. They manipulate the supply chain and monopolize the cost.

Our four families wish to hug their thighs and make a fortune. The entire encampment has five Immortal kings and thirty Immortal lords inside. They will begin searching for you in the morning because, at this moment, they are busy with strategy meetings."

Shi Lang nodded, and Cao Shiyan continued, "One of my spirit slaves is there, and when I send her the signal, she will provide them with dinner. This dinner will make them feel that their spiritual foundation can no longer be suppressed, and they will try to break through. You need to fly high in the sky with Xiao Qin and gather some dark clouds, and later, our little darling will shoot down lightning at the people, giving them a painless death."

The terran thought for a bit and said, "Can the five of you take a martial oath? Stating that what you said from the moment we met till now is true and that you do not intend to harm any innocent person? I can take an oath that I will give you the blueprints for the rifle in return for the cooperation of your families and ten percent of your monthly sale profit."

The five people were stunned, but thinking about it, Shi Lang was correct in doubting them. They did not know each other, and their credibility was zero. This was the right thing to do to establish an agreement that would be kept.

Cao Shiyan nodded, and they began to sweat heavenly oaths. The terran was moved by the resolve of this young bunch. These people were after their siblings with such gusto that it scared him. he asked, "Why do you hate them so much?"

Yue Hanling said, "You are an only child, so you do not know. We have the same father but different mothers. My mother came from an influential family, but my father preferred a son over a daughter. My elder sister has taken a vow never to marry and plotted against me to be caught with a young man. She took away my reputation and even sent me to the cold caves for five years. When I came back, I found her to have completely brainwashed my father and gained the title of Young Miss of the Yue family.

If only my father could see how she acts like an whore and meed multiple men to satiate her lust. That is why I wish to kill her."

Shi Lang gulped, he did not expect the hatred to be so deep, but it did not matter to him. He nodded and the rest of them also shared their stories. Shi Lang sighed and said, "I used to think that the rich really had too much trouble, and looking at your countances, I will keep my belief that you do have a lot of troubles."

The five nodded and Shi Lang continued, "Forget it, let\'s go. Time to get things done."
