Zhu Chanji was alone in the room, caught in a very difficult deliberation. Should he help Xiao Zheng, or side with the Hushan Sect? It was a tough decision to make.
Zhu Chanji knew that once a decision was made, it would affect the fortunes of Futu for decades to co, with far-reaching consequences.
"Evil God’s words, to so extent, are not wrong either." Zhu Chanji pondered, "The so-called eight martial arts sanctuaries are all otherworldly forces. They just happen to be located within Hua Country, but they don’t actually help my Hua Country."
"If we cooperate with Sky Net, it would be different. Collaborating with them would bring imnse benefits. It would be incredibly advantageous for Futu’s future developnt."
"Furthermore, once Sky Net defeats Demon Shield Bureau, its prestige will rise to the pinnacle, truly becoming a world superpower, and the benefits would be even greater."
"But if we choose to side with Sky Net, once Hushan Sect finds out, Futu will face terrifying retaliation."
Zhu Chanji was extrely conflicted; it truly was a decision hard to make.
"Let consult those old monsters." Finally, a gleam flashed in Zhu Chanji’s eyes, and he turned to leave the room, delving deeper into the Futu Base, until he reached the entrance of a vast cavern.
The cavern was incredibly ancient, and it exuded a sense of antiquity, appearing as though it were the dwelling place of the immortals from ancient tis.
"Senior."
Zhu Chanji stood outside the cavern, slightly bowed, and called.
Inside the cavern, there was no sound, only silence. Zhu Chanji remained in place, motionless, quietly waiting.
After a long ti had passed, a voice echoed from the cavern, aged, hoarse, and unpleasant, like the grating of two tal sheets.
"What is it?"
Though it was just four simple words, Zhu Chanji’s body trembled fiercely, feeling imnse pressure.
It felt like a giant dragon was perched above the skies, overlooking the earth, emanating endless majesty from its body, suffocating.
Zhu Chanji marveled in his heart; indeed, this is a Futu level elder, their strength is unfathomable, reaching a level beyond imagination.
"Reporting to the senior." Zhu Chanji took a deep breath and respectfully recounted the events monts earlier, simply.
Finally, he said, "I’ve repeatedly thought it over, unable to decide whether to choose Sky Net or Hushan Sect. I ask for your guidance."
"Such a simple question, and you still co to ask ?" A dissatisfied voice ca from the cavern, "A re martial arts sanctuary made you afraid like this? You mustn’t forget, you are a person of Futu!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Chanji froze. re? A martial arts sanctuary is just re? He felt a sense of absurdity.
"The so-called martial arts sanctuaries are actually just the forces of a bunch of old turtles. They only mind their cultivation, ignoring everything in the outside world. What is there to fear of them?" The voice from the cave was full of an overwhelming spirit, dismissing the martial arts sanctuaries as insignificant.
Zhu Chanji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wondering how the elder of Futu seed sowhat unreliable, with those earth-shattering figures in the martial arts sanctuaries being described as old turtles.
As if sensing Zhu Chanji’s emotions, the voice in the cave sighed and said, "Your strength is still too weak, so you don’t understand the matters of us higher-ups, unable to comprehend."
Zhu Chanji showed a look of sha and said, "I’m ashad, though I have never stopped practicing, still my progress in martial arts is unsatisfactory. But fortunately, there are so talented individuals in Futu, like Dugu Baitian, who can be considered a young king."
"Hmm, that boy Dugu Baitian is indeed good, not only with extraordinary talent but also with a tenacious will. He will likely surpass us old guys in the future." Speaking of Dugu Baitian, the voice in the cave instead showed satisfaction.
"Alright, no more words." The voice in the cave grew impatient and said, "If you want to cooperate with Sky Net, then cooperate with them. What is Hushan Sect? Even if they know we’re secretly behind their backs, do they dare to strike? Hmph!"
The final cold hum contained intense murderous intent, even Zhu Chanji couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a chill from the bottom of his heart.
"From the senior’s words, it seems that our Futu’s strength hasn’t been fully revealed." Zhu Chanji was an extrely clever person and quickly figured this out.
He showed cheerful expression and said, "Rest assured, senior, I’ve made my decision. Farewell."
After saying this, Zhu Chanji left here, returned to the previous room, and ordered his subordinates to call Xiao Zheng over.
"I’ve made my decision."
Zhu Chanji looked at Xiao Zheng, his tone carrying a trace of seriousness, said, "This ti, in your war with Demon Shield Bureau, though Futu won’t intervene, we will give you so assistance."
"Haha, leader, I believe you will feel fortunate for this wise decision in the future." Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.
Zhu Chanji nodded and said, "However, we will not give in without compensation. You must also provide us with so benefits."
"That is natural." Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "There are no free lunches in this world; I understood this truth long ago. What do you want?"
Zhu Chanji’s eyes shot out a sharp look and said, "The technological data you obtain after conquering Demon Shield Bureau must also be shared with Futu."
Xiao Zheng was stunned, then with a playful smile said, "You have a big appetite."
Demon Shield Bureau is one of the world’s five superpowers, and their technological data is indeed a true national treasure and incredibly valuable. If Futu really obtained these things and absorbed them, their power would likely expand to a terrifying degree.
"Heh heh, what does all this an for Evil God? You have mastered the legendary weapon Kun Gu Ni’er. Even if we absorb all of Demon Shield Bureau’s technology, it won’t threaten you." Zhu Chanji confidently smiled.
Obviously, he had thought deeply about this condition.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng pondered for a while, and finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, I agree!"
Since it’s cooperation, it must co with sincerity. Xiao Zheng felt that it was only fair for Zhu Chanji to request so benefits since the entire Futu wasn’t under his control alone.
