Du Guji's expression darkened. This breakdown in negotiations was clearly not what he wanted to see.
Just as he was considering whether his asking price had been too ruthless and was planning to take a step back.
He suddenly recalled Yin Feiqiao's request.
He immediately bared his teeth in a smile and said, "Everyone, this old man can take a step back on the terms I offered. A mere thousand source stones will suffice. But you must assist this old man in killing someone and claiming the bounty on that person."
"A bounty?" Xi Buwei's expression turned grave. His thoughts spun, and he instantly realized that any bounty capable of making Du Guji concede several thousand source stones could not possibly be small. Naturally, Lu Feng came to mind.
"Could the person you seek to kill be named Lu Feng?"
Xi Buwei's expression shifted uncertainly.
The moment he spoke.
Not far away, Lu Feng and the other two, who had quietly approached under the cover of the formation, happened to hear him.
Xi Youmeng and Ji Lanjun immediately widened their eyes in alarm, looking nervously toward Lu Feng beside them.
They feared that Xi Buwei, Chen Shuanghua, and the others might make some muddleheaded choice because they were being held hostage by the situation.
Lu Feng did not reveal himself immediately. He too wanted to see Xi Buwei and Chen Shuanghua's attitude toward him. It would determine whether there was any need for him to expend the effort to reclaim control of the formation in this area and join forces against the person stirring up trouble from behind the scenes.
If Xi Buwei and the others truly agreed to join Du Guji in killing him, then there would be no reason for him to concern himself with matters here any
