Chapter 0669: Charade in the City

When he raised this point, the Yan Dragon Army was calm. They fixed Wu Yu with gazes that would have made anyone' skin prickle

Only now did Wu Yu realize that Qu Haoyang wanted to see him not only about the tomb.

Qu Haoyang did not reply to that. The burly centurion Jin Shengdao, twice the size of a normal human, continued, "Wu Yu, we also heard that with the help of Qu Haoyan, you obtained candles in the tomb and obtained an advanced dao treasure. Is that right?"

As expected!

The only thing that was remarkable about Wu Yu was still the 10,000 Dragons Staff.

This was news that Qu Haoyang already knew about, and it looked like he could not deny it. Also, Jin Shengdao had even said "with the help of Qu Haoyan." These words alone revealed the biggest reason for Qu Haoyang wanting to meet him.

In truth, if Wu Yu did not want to hand it over, then they could not snatch it either, no matter how awesome Qu Haoyang was.

Wu Yu wanted to throw some sand in their eyes. He shook his head. "Indeed, I obtained such an advanced dao treasure, but they snatched it in the end. The experts were fighting over it, and I do not know whose hands it ended up in."

Jin Shengdao looked at Qu Haoyang and then said, "This is based on your word only. How could you possibly relinquish the advanced dao treasure so easily after obtaining it? Best if we could search your Sumeru Pouch. If it is not there, we will not trouble you further."

Wu Yu shook his head. "That will not do. All of you are people of high status. I, too, am of the Yan Huang Ancient Country, and once worked hard on Prince Le's behalf. You have to give me some respect, right?"

"You call that hard work?" Jin Shengdao sneered. His anger was roused now. Just as he was about to retort, Qu Haoyang waved a hand to cut him off, then he looked at Wu Yu and said, "I am not just hankering after your treasure. You can see that we have been here for a long time, but have been unable to settle the matter of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord. Why? That is because we lack an advanced dao treasure. Only with an advanced dao treasure can we thoroughly destroy the Heaven Devouring Evil Residence. It is exactly because of that that I invited you here. Wu Yu, I know how important it is to you that the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord is neutralized and the Dong Sheng Divine Continent returns to safety. Now is your time. I know that the advanced dao treasure is with you. And you should know what to do."

Wu Yu did not believe a single word that he said.

In the end, this Qu Haoyang just wanted Wu Yu's 10,000 Dragons Staff.

Besides, the task at hand was simply to kill Duomingshan Shengxue and his daughter. There was no need to destroy the Heaven Devouring Evil Residence.

However, they were indeed cunning, to use such a method to persuade Wu Yu. If Wu Yu did not agree, they could act openly.

As expected, Jin Shengdao threatened him. "You blabber about wanting to protect the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and to destroy the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord. But right now we lack an advanced dao treasure, and you are selfishly whining. Such a despicable person you are. Besides, our leader only wishes to borrow your advanced dao treasure in order to fulfill the mission that he has been given. After it is done, it will naturally be returned to you. It’s just a measly advanced dao treasure. If not for the fact that our General Commander forgot his, we would not even need you! Wu Yu, the matter of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord should not be taken lightly. Think carefully on this, for the sake of all life on this divine continent. We do not want to see this place in ruins either! If you still cannot get this through your skull, and make your bare minimum of a contribution, then we will not treat you courteously anymore."

Their excuses were superb, leaving Wu Yu dumbstruck.

Now they had twisted it into Wu Yu's selfishness. Although they said that they wanted to protect this place, they had shown not the slightest bit of willingness.

No wonder they had not moved at all. They were waiting for this advanced dao treasure that might appear....

This Qu Haoyang was a slimy one indeed. Although he looked like an upstanding person, his cunning knew no bounds.

Wu Yu naturally did not want to lose the 10,000 Dragons Staff. He shook his head. "I am not lying to you. Right now, the advanced dao treasure is not in my hands. Can you not think of another way? We still have time. Since Commander Qu has advanced dao treasures abound, then it would not take up too much time to send for one...."

Hearing Wu Yu's words, the hundreds of Yan Dragon Army roared, "Impertinent!" This commotion was so loud that the Taixu Sage Master and the others had probably heard it as well.

It looked like they were going to snatch it by force.

Wu Yu hated this. Perhaps it was because he looked too easy to bully. Even when he was outside, even this Qu Haoyang felt like he did not deserve the advanced dao treasure.

"Wu Yu, just lend me the advanced dao treasure and I will help free the Dong Sheng Divine Continent from its troubles. A just and fair proposal. If you do not even agree to this, then you are indeed not fit to be part of the Yan Huang Ancient Country.”

The hundreds of them were all ready to fight. At this time, they rushed to try and surround Wu Yu.

Qu Haoyang did not want to fight. If Wu Yu had come quietly, he would not have made things difficult. But now Wu Yu did not want to come quietly.

"We brothers have worked hard and come over the vast seas to this place. All to save lives. And you, a person of the land, are being miserly over treasures, and will not even share one. This is truly too disappointing. It hurts our feelings," Qu Haoyang said.

He spoke well. But their words of borrowing - didn't it just mean taking? It was easy to lend it out. But even if he groveled and kowtowed, it still might not be returned.

All of the pressure was on Wu Yu.

Wu Yu could not shirk right now. He pressed on. "Commander Qu, it is not that I am unwilling, but that the advanced dao treasure is truly not in my hands. How could I possibly lend you something I don't have? Naturally, I too wish to resolve the matter of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, and am grateful that you all have come this far."

"The solution is very simple then. Take out your Sumeru Pouch and show us. The matter will be resolved. Not difficult at all." Qu Haoyang smirked. Actually, it was not very likely that Wu Yu could escape his clutches here.

He shot Jin Shengdao a look, and Jin Shengdao stepped forward with the Yan Dragon Guard, surrounding Wu Yu and barring his way.

"Take out your Sumeru Pouch! Show us!" Jin Shengdao's voice had turned harsh, his actions callous. At this time, his hand came towards Wu Yu. His huge frame towered over Wu Yu, as though Wu Yu was a little chicken.

This person was a sixth tier Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, and his fighting ability was on par with Prince Feng, Princess You Xue, and the others’.

It looked like he could flatten Wu Yu with one slap.

They had come to play and were ready to fight.

The slap from Jin Shengdao came flying over. Clearly, he did not take Wu Yu seriously.

"Hmph."

Wu Yu scoffed. He immediately used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, swelling to a full three zhang. Instantly, his stature surpassed Jin Shengdao’s!

Before, Wu Yu had been like a child before this Jin Shengdao. And right now, Jin Shengdao was the child. He could only crane his neck upwards at Wu Yu's waist. His slap was caught by Wu Yu's hand!

This completely put a fright in Jin Shengdao.

"Let go!"

Although his opponent was much bigger now, he had faith in his own strength and Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy. With a violent wrench, he intended to send Wu Yu flying!

Pa, pa!

He did not expect Wu Yu's palm to be rock solid. Even when using his Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy and physical strength to the limit, he was still unable to move Wu Yu!

And now Wu Yu was towering over him with a cold gaze!

At this time, Wu Yu exerted, and with a crack, he actually snapped Jin Shengdao's arm!

In truth, Wu Yu was stronger in terms of physical strength. He had a threefold boost.

If they fought, Jin Shengdao would use more dao techniques and mystiques, and would even have the advantage in Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy. Wu Yu might not be able to best him in those aspects.

But if they struggled up close, in terms of physical strength, Wu Yu could totally cream him. His hand broke Jin Shengdao's arm, and his leg sent Jin Shengdao flying with a kick!

RUMBLE!

Jin Shengdao flew past Qu Haoyang, landing heavily on the floor!

The other Yan Dragon Army soldiers had shock in their eyes, so much so that they did not even know how to express it. One had to know that Jin Shengdao was the strongest amongst them in terms of physical strength. He had an excellent physique, and even Qu Haoyang would have to defer to him in terms of strength.

But he had been beaten by Wu Yu in his forte.

At this point, Wu Yu raged. "Everyone. I have already said that the advanced dao treasure is not with me. I have no wish to make enemies of you. I too want a speedy conclusion to the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord affair, and hope that you can respect me. If I do not have the advanced dao treasure, I do not have the advanced dao treasure. A Sumeru Pouch is everybody's secret. How can I easily surrender it for inspection? Everyone knows this. If you truly want to bully me like this, then I have no choice but to take my leave first."

"Don't you dare!" Jin Shengdao bounced up from the ground, his nostrils flaring, his eyes burning with anger. His face was cruel as he unleashed a beastly bellow and came charging towards Wu Yu. It looked like he was truly going to take down Wu Yu.

The others had no intention of letting Wu Yu leave either.

As for Qu Haoyang, he was expressionless. He probably did not have much patience for Wu Yu to surrender his treasures, and was now ready to take it himself.

But their cordon was useless. Wu Yu shrank his body to the smallest and used the Swift Art. Before the surrounding people could react, Wu Yu had already slipped into their surroundings.

"This is blatant bullying. Wu Yu will take his leave first." If he wanted to leave, Qu Haoyang could not stop him.

But Qu Haoyang suddenly laughed nonchalantly. "Enough. I know you are fast, and I cannot catch you. But this is the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. After you leave, can those people below leave?"

He extended a finger towards the Taixu Sage Master and the others.

Wu Yu gave a cold laugh. "So the fox shows his tail. Clearly you wish to snatch my treasures. Why give these useless excuses?"

Qu Haoyang said, "You do not understand. We soldiers fight wars, and we like to have an official reason. You were not smart to ruin the charade. Then let me show you just how naive you are."

So he still had to give him the 10,000 Dragons Staff?
