"You want me to work with you to conquer the Eastern Continent?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised that Leader Lai was shameless enough to ask such a question right before the Xie Family.
"Don't listen to the nonsense.." Xie Wang shook his head.
However, Su Yang smiled and said, "What do I get by working with you?"
"You.." Xie Wang looked at him with wide eyes.
Leader Lai's eyes flickered with hope in this desperate situation, and he quickly spoke, "Everything! I can give you anything you want! If you don't have money, I'll give you so much money that you can't spend it all! If you want fame, I will make you the most famous person in the Eastern Continent! And if Xie Xingfang isn't good enough for you, or you're just bored with it, I can make all the women in the Eastern Continent obey your every command!"
"Huh? That's a pretty tempting offer. However, what if I say that I am not satisfied with just the Eastern Continent? What if I want to rule over every continent in this world?" Said Su Yang.
"W-You want to rule the world?" Leader Lai looked at him with wide eyes, even he did not expect Su Yang to have such ambition.
"Why? Don't tell me you can't help me rule the world? Even though you said you'd give me everything." Su Yang shook his head in disappointment.
"Wait-wait! If that's what you want, I'll arrange it! Once we master the Eastern Continent, we can start working on the other Continents, and eventually, we will master even the Sacred Middle Continent!" Leader Lai said without thinking.
"Ha ha ha!" Su Yang laughed out loud, and turned to look at Xie Wang and spoke, "Are you really making an idiot like him a general?"
He then returned to Leader Lai and continued, "There is nothing you offer me that I cannot get on my own. The fame? That means nothing to me. A fortune? Everything I want cannot be bought with money. A lady? I've had.beautiful enough to entertain me for thousands of years. Regarding world domination.While it sounds interesting, I have more important things in my life to worry about. And if I really decide to master the 'world' someday, I'm sure I don't need help!"
Not only Leader Lai but even Xie Wang and Xie Xingfang were stunned by Su Yang's words, as he made it seem like there was nothing in this world that he could not obtain.
"Now that the negotiations are over, what will you do?" Su Yang looked at Leader Lai with an indifferent expression.
"Wait-wait! You want a spiritual treasure that can transfer people to the Sacred Middle Continent, right ?! If you let me go, I'll give it to you!" He quickly said.
"Or I can kill you right now and take it from your corpse without any hassle." replied Su Yang.
"Hopefully it works, because I didn't bring the treasure, and I hid it in a place you'll never find!" Leader Lai laughed arrogantly.
"Is that so?" Su Yang then turned to look at the sky on the invisible Qiuyue flying boat.
"Xiao Rong, get down here for a minute." She told him.
A second later, Xiao Rong's small figure appeared beside him like a ghost, shocking everyone there.
Xiao Rong nodded and turned to look at Leader Lai with a narrowed gaze.
"?!?!" Leader Lai felt as if all of his clothes and even his skin were stripped in front of Xiao Rong's sharp gaze.
After staring at Leader Lai for a moment, Xiao Rong unleashed his Ancient Realm cultivation base, sweeping across the entire Eastern Continent in just a few seconds.
"Xiao Rong found it. Come back soon." Xiao Rong suddenly disappeared from the scene.
"…"
"…"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Rong's figure reappeared beside Su Yang, and in his hand was an ordinary-looking yellow talisman.
When Leader Lai saw this yellow talisman, his eyes widened in shock, and his jaw fell to the ground.
"What ?! No way! H-How ?!" he exclaimed in a frightened voice, as if he was staring at a ghost.
Seeing Leader Lai's reaction, Su Yang knew that Xiao Rong had found the right thing, and he spoke with a smile on his face, "What's wrong? Judging from your reaction, I was pretty sure that this yellow talisman was exactly what I was looking for'."
"…"
Leader Lai remained silent, as he was still shocked and speechless by what had just happened.
Even Xie Wang and Xie Xingfang looked at Xiao Rong with puzzled expressions, as they could not even understand what had just happened.
Due to their high innate mental strength, the Ghost Cat Ancestor was able to use their spiritual senses for a very wide range, not to mention the cultivation base of the Xiao Rong Ancient Realm. Moreover, Xiao Rong was a Ghost Cat with talent and abilities superior to ordinary Ghost Cats, and in a small place like the Eastern Continent, he could easily search across the continent with his spiritual senses.
This was another reason why Ghost Cats were often sought after, because their ability to find spiritual treasures was the best even within the Divine Heaven.
"Now that I have what I need, there's no reason to keep you alive, right?" Su Yang said, and he turned to look at Xie Wang.
"You can do whatever you want to them. I'll get back to the ship." After saying that, he made a restriction array and trapped the Moonlight Blade group again, before returning to the ship with Xiao Rong.
