The closer he got, the more Jules felt that this rough hall was extraordinary.
It’s not that the building itself is so outstanding, but the aura that the hall inadvertently reveals, just like the feeling that Xue Xin described in the video she made before.
Like facing an abyss.
Rumble~~~~
The palace door opened and a voice was heard from inside.
"Your Excellency Yao Xin Hou has come to visit me. Please forgive me for not being able to come and greet you."
The voice is so sincere that the listener can't help but feel good about it.
Xue Xin's face was filled with excitement. In fact, with her intelligence, she should have figured out the reason why Gu You Bu Xiu didn't come out to greet her, but she was too concerned. Now she just wanted to set up a connection between Gu You Bu Xiu and Uncle Yu Le, and all other distracting thoughts were given low priority.
Yule's expression remained unchanged, and he followed Xue Xin into the hall with a smile.
Oops.
What comes into view is a huge body like a mountain range, which is more than 6,000 kilometers long at a glance.
It’s really not small. Some smaller stars have a diameter of less than 6000 kilometers.
At the immortal stage, the size of the divine body is very important. Under the same strength, the larger the body, the longer the battle will last.
Regardless of whether this Gu You has the ability to be crowned king, just the sight of his terrifying body was enough to make Yule's heart tremble.
"A friend has come from afar, and my conditions are limited. I hope that Lord Yaoxin will not despise me." At the head, Xu Yang spoke softly, revealing a hint of coercion in his gentleness.
Yu Le was not shy either. He found a table on the left and sat down. He smiled and said, "Brother Gu You, that's not right. Since you and Xue Xin were friends before, calling me Demon Heart Marquis is really too formal. Just call me Yu Le."
The posture is slightly lower, but not humble.
"Yes, yes. Today we are gathered together to chat like friends. Don't be too formal." Xue Xin also spoke lively. In today's occasion, it is the lubricant. It is most appropriate for it to adjust the atmosphere in the field.
"Haha, okay, then I'll obey your command." Xu Yang did not refuse. This was a way to get closer to them, which was exactly what he wanted.
At the beginning, the three demons sat behind the red jade table, eating, drinking, and chatting about stories from all over the world. Xiong Dahou stood beside them, adding wine from time to time.
After three rounds of drinking.
Jules put down his glass first and looked up seriously.
"Brother Gu You, I believe you and I both know the purpose of my coming here today."
"Now that we've drunk so much, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. To be honest, when Xue Xin first told me about this, I believed it three-tenths and doubted it seven-tenths. Of the three-tenths of belief, two-tenths were because Xue Xin, this little girl, had never lied to me before."
"Yeah." Xu Yang nodded. It was normal for monsters to behave like this. He would do the same if he were in their shoes, so he was very calm.
Xue Xin wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth but didn't speak. She wanted to make a joke like before, and remind Uncle Jules not to be so straightforward, but she didn't say it in the end. In Uncle Jules's opinion, since they were talking about serious matters, there must be a reason for saying so.
Yule breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But when I came to the outskirts of this star, I didn't detect your presence. At this time, I was already 90% confident and 10% suspicious... The doubt I had was not about whether you had the strength to be crowned king, but how strong you really were."
After saying this, Jules raised his glass and saluted Xu Yang from afar, his eyes sparkling and shining.
"How strong?"
Rumble~~~
The tightly closed palace door opened again.
Xu Yang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he stretched out his right paw with ease.
The claw struck out with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. The dazzling white light instantly penetrated the void millions of miles away. The power was like a violent storm, sweeping everything around. Space seemed like a fragile piece of paper in front of this power, and it made a harsh cracking sound.
The void was torn apart, forming a huge hole filled with violent energy and distorted space fragments. The claws had not yet dissipated their strength, and the energy consumed in penetrating the surface void was almost negligible. It went deeper along the layer of space debris and successively smashed three pieces of space debris with diameters of more than one million kilometers before it was exhausted and exploded into light spots all over the sky and dissipated.
The little bit of divine power that was wiped out by the torrent of space was just a drop in the ocean for Xu Yang, and his expression did not change at all.
"This..." Yule had seen big scenes before, so he naturally knew the difficulty of Xu Yang's move. It could be said that even an ordinary king of high rank would not be able to perform such a move so easily.
"Fellow Daoist Guyou, I'll just be honoring you by calling you Guyou for now. Just for your strength, I'll toast you three cups." Yu Le's eyes were eager, his tone was warm, and his hands moved so quickly that they left an afterimage.
Without waiting for Xu Yang to refuse, Jules drank three large glasses of wine in a row.
"Strictly speaking, I should call you King when I see you now, but you don't have an official title yet." Yule laughed, and after three glasses of wine, he suddenly became very heroic. "I am now the 'acting general' of the Youxin Army. The general above is my old boss. He wants to give me a chance to let me sit firmly on this general position... I originally thought so, but I have changed my mind now. I don't want to sit on this general position anymore."
"You come and sit on this general's seat."
In the last sentence, Jules used a respectful title.
His attitude is so low that he completely regards himself as a subordinate.
This scene stunned Xue Xin and Xiong Da. Xue Xin didn't expect that Uncle Yule, whom she had admired the most since childhood, would be so easily conquered. Xiong Da had a very simple idea that the Lord was so awesome. He was a powerful marquis and the acting general of the Youxin Army, but at this moment he was so humble!
What an honor!
"What do you want from me?" Xu Yang did not agree immediately. If this cooperation could be achieved, he would definitely be the general. It was impossible for him, a powerful king, to be the deputy of a marquis.
Jules did not answer immediately, but pursed his lips tightly and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I want to bet, bet your future!"
"I bet that you will become a great ancestor in the future, and I bet that you will be able to help my Snow Wolf Clan when you become successful in the future!"
"I, the Snow Wolf Clan, also want to go to a higher place to take a look at the scenery!"
"If you agree, the entire Snow Wolf Clan will be your vanguard and serve you loyally!"
The eyes of Yule Metal Puppet were full of stars, and his tone was extremely enthusiastic, with a hint of madness. Although it was not the patriarch of the Snow Wolf Clan, it was the strongest of the entire Snow Wolf Clan. Here, it could represent the entire Snow Wolf Clan!
Xu Yang was shocked by Yu Le's speech.
Straightforward!
So straightforward!
But it was precisely because of its straightforwardness and unconcealed frankness that Xu Yang did not reject its investment in him. On the contrary, when he heard that it dared to bet the entire Snow Wolf tribe on its luck after only meeting him once, Xu Yang admired it very much.
I really admire him. This Jules is definitely someone who can achieve great things.
He is decisive and experienced in dealing with things. He knows that sincerity is the ultimate skill.
Suppressing the secret joy in my heart, who hasn't had such a dream when he was a child - the aura of a king and the heroes of the world come to join him. Xu Yang spoke carefully, his tone was calm, like a spring breeze: "It's very straightforward, but I like it very much, Jules..."
“Happy cooperation!”
When Yule heard Xu Yang's agreement, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The bet was right!
Sincerity is the ultimate skill!
"Happy cooperation! From now on, the entire Snow Wolf Clan will be your vanguard, and so will I!" After saying that, Yule stood up from the cushion, the metal puppet disappeared, and his real body, which was more than 800 kilometers long, was revealed, with his limbs slightly bent and his head lowered.
This is to show loyalty to Xu Yang.
Wow~~~~
Seeing Uncle Jules in this attitude, Xue Xin quickly stood up from the mat and followed suit, assuming a gesture of loyalty.
"Okay, from today on, we are all in the same camp. There's no need to be so formal." In his previous life, Xu Yang was a social animal. From childhood to adulthood, he had only been represented and managed by others, but had never managed others.
But this does not mean that Xu Yang is a rookie or a management idiot.
Leave professional matters to professionals. You just need to constantly improve your abilities, speak more concisely and to the point, and appear to have a higher status. Naturally, the monsters below will figure out your thoughts and help you solve your problems.
Guessing the emperor's intentions is not just something that exists in costume dramas.
"Thank you, sir." Yule's real body disappeared and reappeared as a metal puppet. "Sir, you just broke through, you may need some of these things."
As he spoke, Jules waved his hand, and five world rings flew towards Xu Yang.
Without refusing, Xu Yang took it and swept it with his divine power.
There were five rings, each with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers, standard assembly line products. Four of them were empty, and the remaining one contained ten metal puppets, all of which were shining like flowing liquid.
These ten puppets were prepared by Yule for Xu Yang. The puppet bodies can be controlled through consciousness. They are made of alloys and have consciousness receivers inside. By separating a trace of consciousness into the puppet's body, one can control the puppet's body.
It is extremely popular among the immortal demon race.
The puppet body combined with a world ring of smaller space is the walking suit of the demon race in the starry sky. If they encounter danger, the world ring with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers can burst directly from the inside.
In addition to the ten metal puppets, there is also a card next to the puppets, an 800-meter-long sword-shaped spaceship. When divine power swept over, the information contained in it was transmitted to the mind.
Ten million demon yuan!
F9 class spacecraft!
"Interesting, thank you very much, I really need these right now." Xu Yang nodded kindly. To a strong man at the peak of the marquisate, rings and puppets were nothing, but 9 million demon essences and an F-class metal spaceship were very valuable. Even with Yu Le's wealth, it would definitely be a huge loss to give these away.
"I'm glad I could help you. Although there aren't enough for a strong man like you, it can still be used in an emergency." Yule said with a smile. Since he wanted to gamble and invest, he had to show his attitude, not just rely on empty words.
Ten million in cash plus a customized car, totaling 20 million Yao Yuan, accounts for half of its wealth.
The remaining half are all weapons, armor, and treasures that restore divine power... The cash flow has been almost drained, leaving only a few hundred thousand demon yuan in reserve.
However, it's all worth it.
It could feel that after it gave the things away, Gu You's gaze became much softer and kinder.
Wow~~~~
Xu Yang's huge body of more than 6,000 kilometers, like a mountain range, suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a metal puppet.
The surface of the metal puppet was seen flowing like mercury and deforming rapidly. Soon, a figure with a wolf head and a human body, wearing a black and gold robe, appeared in front of the monsters.
Accustomed to looking down from a high position, Xu Yang was a little uncomfortable when his sight suddenly became so low.
"This experience is quite novel, but I should just follow the crowd and not try to be different." Xu Yang said to himself with a smile.
Just now when he was controlling the puppet's body, he found that this metal puppet was like a ball of plasticine. He could mold it however he wanted. If he wanted, it was not impossible to mold a body exactly the same as in his previous life.
But after a brief hesitation, Xu Yang threw the idea out of his mind. Since he had already made a break with the past, why would he miss it? Moreover, among the demons, everyone had a human body and a real face. If he tried to be different and made a human appearance, it would only cause trouble for himself.
"Hahaha, it's indeed a lot more convenient to be smaller."
Xu Yang would naturally say a few nice words after accepting someone's gift.
"Yes, yes, a small size is very advantageous except in combat." Yule immediately acted as the supporting actor and took over the conversation.
"Do we need to report back to the Five Realms Continent?" Xu Yang nodded and asked the topic that concerned him most.
Yule shook his head and explained, "Now our demon clan's network has been greatly improved. Many things can be done online. The only dispatch order that needs to be completed offline, I got it from Jinchen Immortal before I came here. Now we can go directly to the Youxin Army, and we can send one of our men to deliver the dispatch order back when the time comes."
"Yeah." He nodded with satisfaction. From the star map, the Tamo Luo star field where the Youxin Army was located and the Five Domain Continent had completely different routes. It would take a long time to run back and forth.
"Xue Xin, thank you for your care during these years. I am very good at using Xiong Da, and he has good talents. I will take him with me when I leave."
"Senior Gu You, you are too kind. It is my honor to help you." Xue Xin was terrified and waved her paw quickly. "I am also happy that Xiong Da can be with you. I will take care of the procedure for him to leave the team."
Xue Xin of course knew what Xu Yang meant by this, and she patted her chest and assured him.
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Xu Yang thought about it, there was nothing else to miss in the Xue Xin Army, and the subordinates who followed him before were not particularly outstanding. Moreover, even if there were, Xu Yang couldn't take them away. After all, if he took one away, he could use some connections to settle the matter. If he took away one-fifth of the Xue Xin Army at once, even he couldn't handle it.
The God-Swallowing Wolf Army is not a makeshift team. Even if one is at the peak of the king status, as long as one still wants to stay in the God-Swallowing Wolf Army, he must abide by the rules and regulations of the God-Swallowing Wolf Clan.
No matter what happens, the process must be fair.
In this way, the monsters continued their unfinished banquet in the hall until a day and a night later.
The next day.
In the empty starry sky, Commander Xue Xin and his soldiers stood in the void, watching the purple-black light in the distance turn into a sky-high sword that pierced into the endless darkness and disappeared from their sight.
All the monsters seemed lost and remained silent for a long time.
