Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 456: Talks collapsed at 455

The brief lapse of a fool's wisdom lasts only a few minutes.

Clearly, as Zhou Bai delegated more and more authority to the brothers Yan Shan and Yan Hai, their desires and ambitions began to swell.

After all, handling tens or hundreds of thousands of points each time could stir improper thoughts even in a Primordial Spirit, not to mention Yan Shan and Yan Hai, who came from a life of luxury.

In response to Yan Shan's answer, Zhou Bai stepped forward, his Primordial Spirit power crackling through the air, surging forth to force them to cough up what they owed, only to find that besides Yan Shan, Yao Ying of the Seventh Realm had stepped out from behind a door at some point.

Then Zheng Wenguang walked out with another monk who also seemed to be of the Seventh Realm.

Following them, the sons of Greedy Wolf True Monarch Ye Tao and Broken Army True Monarch Shang Zhen also came out, each accompanied by a Seventh Realm powerhouse.

Five Heavenly Court powerhouses of the Seventh Realm boldly released their Primordial Spirit power, unknowingly surrounding Zhou Bai and pressing in from all sides, lightly colliding with Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power.

The fierce Primordial Spirit power transformed the entire room into an abnormal space, where violent forces silently swept through, instantly shredding every chair, bookshelf, and low table into pieces.

Zhou Bai inwardly cursed the trouble, with Yan Shan, Yao Ying, and three other unknown cultivators from the Heavenly Court—one total of five Seventh Realm powerhouses—if a fight truly erupted, the whole city might know.

It could even lead to the cultivators of West Mountain City helping the Primordial Spirit seeds against him.

And his identity as Gu Tianle might also be exposed.

Knowing it wasn't wise to use violence to seize what he wanted now, Zhou Bai exhaled a breath but didn't feel nervous because his trump cards were plentiful.

He simply shook his head, looking relaxedly at Yan Shan, curious about his intentions, "Yan Shan, you've really grown."

The corners of Yan Shan's mouth slightly curled, "Master Gu, did you think I wanted to swallow this business alone?"

Zi Yang True Monarch's son, Zheng Wenguang, Greedy Wolf True Monarch's son, Ye Tao, and Broken Army True Monarch's son, Shang Zhen, looked at Gu Tianle mockingly, just like Yan Shan. It was clear they wanted to swallow this business deal together, all four of them.

Zhou Bai curiously said, "If the four of you share, I am afraid no one will be satisfied in the end, there will still be internal strife, right?"

Yan Shan replied, "Then there's no need for you to worry about us. We have pretty much grasped your business model.

It is inherently a structure that exploits layer by layer to sustain the highest echelon. Such a model, used solely among the deities, is simply underutilization. It should be thoroughly promoted, spread to all the humans in the four major cities.

Let these humans truly sustain us."

Zhou Bai was genuinely surprised this time as he looked towards Yan Shan, not expecting the other to have grasped the essence of the model so quickly, and even more so, aiming to promote it universally, breaking the original agreement to promote it only among deities.

If Yan Shan truly managed to execute it, the debts of several hundreds of deities would be cleared, and they would exploit countless humans, amassing massive wealth. Who knew how many humans would be driven to bankruptcy.

But since the opponent had seen through the essence of the model, the ultimate result—

'This Yan Shan isn't as foolish as he appears.'

Zhou Bai quickly understood the causes and consequences, exclaiming in surprise, "You want me to be the scapegoat?"

"Smart. Worthy of being Master Gu." Yan Shan smiled, "It seems about time; we shall end our discussion here."

During the conversation, as the spiritual mechanisms activated, countless vapors mixed with runes appeared in the atmosphere, walls, floors, pillars, and ceilings, turning the entire suite momentarily into the depths of the sea.

The black water light enveloped the entire room, instantly turning the small hundred square meter space into a prison.

Behind Ye Tao, a cultivator spoke while forming a hand seal slowly, "The entire suite is now enveloped in the Nine Curves Tianhe Formation; he cannot escape."

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'It looks like Yan Shan was deliberating with me just to buy time to activate the Array. But the Array is good, if we start fighting later, I won't have to worry about making too much noise.'

Once the Array was set up and activated, it was almost invincible within the same realm. The present Nine Curves Tianhe Formation was a seventh realm grand formation; coupled with several other seventh realm powerhouses, in Yan Shan's view, it was almost a guaranteed success.

Facing this situation, Zhou Bai planned to act as well.

He burst into laughter, "I, Gu Tianle, have roamed the heavens and the earth for decades, do you really think today's little display can trap me?"

Yan Shan's intelligence -10

Zhou Bai briefly startled, wondering why the intelligence of others hadn't decreased?

Then he saw Yan Shan channeling Primordial Spirit energy, already sealing his own ears, making a gesture, and along with the other four seventh realm powerhouses, they started to attack Zhou Bai.

Over these past few weeks, Yan Shan, Yan Hai, and others had witnessed Zhou Bai deploying the fool's, disaster's abilities multiple times, and they would recall the lessons after their intelligence had been restored.

Even though they had the coverage of disaster's shield, after so many instances, they had come to understand that Zhou Bai possessed a kind of bewitching technique, not to give him a chance to speak.

After all, Xiao Hun had been schemed against once and had reacted promptly. Although Yan Shan and the others were less vigilant and still had to face the disaster's shield, they had already become somewhat cautious after so many instances.

Thus, just now, aside from Yan Shan, the others had already secretly sealed their hearing, not listening to what Zhou Bai had to say anymore.

Yan Shan roared in his mind, 'Not giving him a chance to speak from now on, just suppress him directly, then force him to reveal the method to refine "Guihai Black Evil" and his bewitching technique.'
