Chapter 201: Departure (1)
A gust of wind and snow rushed past at top speed . Lu Sheng was hot on the heels of the white cloud before him .
That cloud was the racing giant white wolf .
On both his sides, the forests raced past . The terrain rose and fell; he had lost count of how many hills he had passed .
As time ticked on, Lu Sheng lost track of how long he had been in pursuit . Finally, the white wolf before him landed lightly by a frozen lake, as silently as if it were really a cloud of vapor .
Like a mountain, its massive body rested in a squat by the lake . It turned its blood red eyes back towards Lu Sheng .
"You're following me, what do you want?" The giant wolf's voice was not loud, but carried far and entered Lu Sheng's ears precisely, as if someone had spoken by his ear .
"What do I want?" Lu Sheng paused in surprise .
"I'm the greatest White Wolf King par excellence, Gendi . Tell me your wish and what you're willing to offer in exchange . If I so please, I can fulfil your wish," the giant white wolf said in a deep tone . It all sounded rather ridiculous to Lu Sheng's ears . "Since you've come after me, you should be acquainted with my rule . "
Lu Sheng stared at the white wolf . The pressure he felt from the giant wolf was immense; he was much stronger than all his opponents thus far .
And judging based on what he had just said, this wolf seemed pretty famous and frequently engaged in some form of transaction or exchange .
He snapped back to the present . "What can you give me?"
White Wolf King arched his back, extending his massive head towards Lu Sheng .
"Me? Wealth? Gems? Power? Even . . . the deepest longings of your heart . . . "
Its giant head was but several meters away from Lu Sheng, as if it could swallow him up at any moment .
"I don't want any of those . " Lu Sheng thought for a while, then said suddenly, "I want power . Strength!"
The other party seemed not to have recognized Lu Sheng's identity . Presently, his Yin Extreme Mode had concealing abilities that were off the charts . The strength he was displaying now was heaven and earth from his power after transformation .
"Oh?" White Wolf King scrutinized him . "Why do you want strength?"
Lu Sheng laughed . "Does one need a reason for that in such a chaotic world?"
"You're right . " White Wolf King nodded . "But your power's pretty decent already . To trade for even higher power, the corresponding cost would naturally be greater . "
"As long as you supply it, don't worry about the cost . I can afford it," Lu Sheng remarked placidly .
He was simply bullshitting and playing along with this white wolf . If he truly could help him gain more power and strength, then that would be a pleasant surprise . But if he could not, then it would be no loss either . He was merely surprised to see such a giant wolf pass by while he was testing out his martial art and hence decided to follow it .
White Wolf King was confused . As the Head of Wandering Heart Society, many ghosts and demons came to him for trade . Some sought specific items, some hungered for strength . But none were like this human before him who did not fear him in the slightest .
It had been a coincidence for him to come here too .
After that mysterious man had spoken those words to him previously, he had vanished mysteriously .
But he did not believe his words entirely . Furthermore, even if Shangyang Family was indeed behind all these, there was nothing he could do about it . As one of the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains, its power far exceeded his imagination . Even if he were to seek revenge, he could at the very most scratch their skin . Instead, he would agitate and provoke this gargantuan faction .
Fury simmered helplessly in the White Wolf King's heart . It was coincidentally then that he had received the invitation of a good friend, presenting him with an opportunity to strike back against Shangyang Family . That was why he had left his people and come to the heart of the Northern Lands .
Little did he expect he would meet such a man in the Northern Lands . What was most peculiar about him was that he could match his speed!
"Once, a tribe of lone-eyed titans formed a deal with me, trading their loyalty in exchange for strength . I granted it to them . Other tribes and peoples, likewise, traded all sorts of precious items in exchange for power . I agreed to develop their potential," White Wolf King said . "I can give you power . But it depends on what you can bring to the table . " He did not recognize Lu Sheng, having never seen his portrait . His only worry in the Northern Lands was the hidden arm of Shangyang Family .
To have killed his two Deputy Heads, one could imagine the extent of their forces hidden here .
However, while he was wary of Shangyang Family, he could not be bothered with a puny mortal faction like Crimson Whale Sect .
"Oh?"
Lu Sheng's curiosity was piqued . It turned out that the other party was some kind of merchant among demons and devils .
"I want power without side effects . It must not affect my mind . " He thought for a moment, then fished out an object from his robe . "I'll trade it for this . "
"This is . . . " White Wolf King's eyes narrowed suddenly, gazing intently at the object in Lu Sheng's hand . "A shard of a Divine Weapon? It looks like a remnant shard of the Yin Gloom Seal . . . "
The object that Lu Sheng had produced was the dark yellow metal shard that he had obtained from Officiator Bai Jiang . At that time, he had even acquired several dozen units of Yin Qi off it .
But even after studying it for a long time, he was still unable to use it . Now that it popped up in his mind, he decided to try his luck with it .
"Yin Gloom Seal?" Lu Sheng committed it to memory silently, maintaining his poker face .
"So how much power can I buy with this?"
White Wolf King scrutinized the metal shard .
"It's quite a large shard, so I can give you three options . "
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was surprised . "Please explain . "
White Wolf King lifted his head and gently breathed out a large ball of white fog which enveloped them like a cloud, isolating them from the world around them .
"One, I bestow you with strength directly, loaned from my own body . The advantage of that is that it's quick .
Two, I inject demon power into you, turning you into a Half-Demon . But it'll affect your longevity .
