Chapter 959: Chapter 958: Killing Several Birds with One Stone
Wufu pulled Ah Jiu aside and lowered his voice to express his concerns.
“Why don’t you wait for me here at the Cloud Fort? I’m taking a few Chi inside; I plan to train them, this is an opportunity. You stay at the Cloud Fort as my backup. In case anything happens, you can come after us to clean up the mess.” Wufu whispered, “These are all Jianghu People, I’m not being selfish, but we can’t cut off all the retreating paths, right?”
A hint of softness flashed through Ah Jiu’s eyes, but he said, “Do you look down on me? If you can go in, why can’t I?”
“Ah Jiu, I don’t want you to take this risk.” Wufu said with a frown.
“I know you’re worried about me, but don’t worry, I’m not totally useless. Besides, aren’t you here too? Since you have the confidence, I trust that following you won’t cause any major problems. You’re my lucky star.” Ah Jiu smiled.
Wufu said, “Thank you for trusting me. But since we haven’t been inside, I don’t know if this Cloud Realm will be the same as those I’ve encountered before.”
The unknown is the most terrifying!
“It’s okay, but as you said, we really need to adjust a bit, not everyone should go in.” Ah Jiu pursed his lips and said.
On the stage, Alliance Leader Yun had already explained the dangers of the Cloud Realm and stated that entering the Cloud Realm is completely voluntary, but individuals are responsible for their life and death; the Cloud Fort takes no responsibility. Before entering, they must sign a life and death agreement, and in case something happens, the Cloud Realm cannot be held accountable.
Moreover, after entering the Cloud Realm, if you are still at the outer edge and don’t wish to continue deeper, you can choose to return the way you came. Of course, whether you can smoothly return to the entrance depends on your own abilities.
And for those who enter the Cloud Realm and reach the Cloud Tower to obtain treasures but do not wish to continue training inside, they can also return early.
The final point, whoever captures Yun Feiyang alive will be awarded not only Cultivation Methods and Weapons treasures by the Cloud Fort but also 500,000 taels of silver, provided Yun Feiyang is captured alive.
500,000 taels, that’s a lot of money!
Wufu’s eyes brightened; this is like a bounty!
Sure enough, there were quite a few people present who were excited like Wufu, after all, 500,000 taels, as long as you catch someone, you’ll never have to worry about food and drink for a lifetime.
“Although I indeed plan to capture the traitor, I equally do not wish for everyone to make unnecessary sacrifices. The Cloud Realm’s status as my Cloud Fort’s forbidden area must never be underestimated, I hope everyone acts within their means.” Alliance Leader Yun squinted and said, “Sometimes, having too many people is not necessarily a good thing.”
“Alliance Leader Yun, thank you for your kindness, but someone as treacherous as Yun Feiyang, everyone should hunt him down. I’ve long yearned to explore the Cloud Realm and have wanted to probe its mysteries for a while now.”
“Yes, we are all heroes of the Green Forest, how can there be those who fear death?”
“In that case, those interested please sign the life and death agreement. I also know many factions are present here. Each faction can have no more than ten people enter the Cloud Realm, so select the most capable amongst you.” Alliance Leader Yun pointed to a desk on the side.
Wufu glanced over and whispered, “The more I look, the more I sense a conspiracy.”
“Hmm?”
“If too many people go in, and they luckily remove some dangerous creatures, the Cloud Fort reaps the benefits from the back, how pleasant.” Wufu touched his nose and said, “Perhaps the Alliance Leader Yun feels that the dangers of the Cloud Realm have exceeded their control, so they’re killing multiple birds with one stone! Otherwise, how else could they retrieve items from the Cloud Tower?”
Ah Jiu frowned, “People can’t resist temptation.”
Indeed, wealth moves people’s hearts.
Master Gui had good hearing, listening to the two’s conversation, he raised an eyebrow to glance at them; their analysis was somewhat reasonable, indeed a method to kill multiple birds with one stone.
