Bestowing Favors in Hopes of Repayment

"Heh heh heh..."

A suppressed laugh rose from Su Yu's throat.

Was that just now an adventure?

It had been extremely risky!

For the first time, he had revealed his true form before two hostile Heavenly Venerables. To Su Yu, it had been an enormous trial of life and death.

Ever since his strength had surged and he had gained control over a great number of experts, Su Yu had rarely taken such risks.

The last time he ambushed Sealing Mountain, he had been certain of success.

This time, if the two great Heavenly Venerables turned hostile and summoned other Heavenly Venerables, temporarily abandoning their search of the upper realm and their blockade of Chaos Mountain, it would be exceedingly difficult for Su Yu to escape alive.

A moment later, Lan Tian arrived.

Lan Tian was still shaken by lingering fear. Seeing Su Yu, he let out a breath. "That was far too risky!"

Su Yu smiled brilliantly. "But... the gains will be tremendous too, won't they?"

"Will they cooperate?"

Uncertainty filled Lan Tian's eyes. "Won't they turn on us very soon?"

Su Yu smiled. "Before they resolve the problem of those False Dao experts, they won't rashly turn hostile. One-third of their strength—even without Heavenly Venerables—means five or six Heavenly Kings, plus nearly a hundred Dao Integration cultivators. Do you think they would turn on us before they were certain they could restrain us?"

That was the heart of the matter!

Su Yu smiled brightly. "Besides, rather than fight both sides at once, why not join hands once and strike one side? We want to seek cooperation with them—do you think they don't want to cooperate with us? If Chaos Mountain approached them and proposed wiping us out first, do you think the myriad races would agree?"
