Volume 1_Chapter 96: The Master of Tricks



It turns out that the real purpose of why this middle-aged man didn't kill him but talked nonsense for so long was to become an agent of Jiyuan Merchant. But how could Zhang Mu tell him the real method, unless he really didn't want to live. You know, the only way is to die, then the Jiyuan Merchant Ring will be recognized by others.

Zhang Mu didn't care that his thoughts would be known by this spiritual person. Although his spiritual power was very strong, let alone his current strength, even if there were beings several levels higher than him, there was no way to penetrate into the depths of a person's soul and directly explore his memory. If someone really appeared and spilled his memories like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, there were generally only two possibilities.

One is that the strength of this spiritual evolver is very high, and he can directly use his mental power to oppress and torture the memory of the person being interrogated. The other is that this person is very good at conversation skills, and he can use an inductive method to slowly get everything he wants to know from the other person's subconscious mind.

It is now obvious that because the silver-haired leader has already tested Zhang Mu's will, which is almost watertight, the tough mental oppression has not played any role at all. Even his mental power, which is almost invincible and he is proud of it, and can forcibly subdue these dozens of evolvers, is ineffective here.

He didn't know that this kind of mental oppression was nothing but child's play for Zhang Mu. He was not like those humans who were just struggling for food and clothing and wandering in danger. He had been struggling in the afterlife for so many years, and he had seen at least five hundred strong mental masters, if not a thousand.

During the transaction, Zhang Mu had already been trained to not be afraid of such mental oppression at all. His soul was like a solid rock. No matter how great the external pressure was, he never moved at all and held on to his original intention instead of collapsing all of a sudden.

Of course, the silver-haired leader also clearly felt this. Zhang Mu was different from all the evolvers he had met. Even if some evolvers were unwilling to eat human flesh, they would still be afraid. That kind of fear that could not be hidden at all was a delicacy for him. But he had secretly tried for a long time just now, and he did not find any loopholes in Zhang Mu that could be broken through.

So, he

He used the latter method. He wanted to obtain the identity and power of Jiyuan's agent merchant. He was not satisfied with the present. Even if Zhang Mu was not his opponent, he was not satisfied at all. He had tasted the power, but he was also afraid. He knew how he got his power, which was plundered from others. He was afraid that one day this building he had built up so quickly would eventually collapse. He didn't know if his power could be accumulated indefinitely.

Although it seemed so natural now, the more it felt like this, the less confident he felt. He knew that if a high-rise building did not have a solid foundation, the possibility of collapse was extremely high.

However, he was obsessed with the feeling of rapid growth in power, and he needed something to comfort himself. When he saw the Epoch Merchant Ring on Zhang Mu's hand, this idea suddenly came to his mind. He felt that he could completely obtain more stable power by replacing the identity of the Epoch Merchant.

This is why he saw Zhang Mu killing more than a dozen of his brothers and continued to challenge his bottom line and still spoke to him in the same tone. He just wanted to slowly put pressure on Zhang Mu and get the power to become a merchant of Jiyuan.

However, it seems that the only way to make a deal with him is to use Zhang Mu's own life.

Zhang Mu's mind was working rapidly. He originally had a not very safe trump card, which was that the Blood Vine Lotus itself was completely out of control. As long as the silver-haired man relaxed a little, or his power loosened after a long time, Zhang Mu could return all the power of the Blood Vine Lotus to it.

Such a blood vine lotus would have its most primitive instincts. Apart from the familiar aura of Zhang Mu, it would definitely kill all living things around it as its own nutrients.

However, Zhang Mu was not sure whether the Blood Vine Lotus could kill the silver-haired leader in front of him. If there were only the remaining dozens of evolvers, Zhang Mu was confident that the Blood Vine Lotus would suck them all dry. However, in the current situation, even without them, it was very likely that the Blood Vine Lotus would have reached its limit in dealing with this spiritual ability.

As a person at the second level, he is not particularly confident.

Even though the Blood Vine Lotus targets all living things, even though the Blood Vine Lotus is so domineering now.

However, Zhang Mu, a strong man in the spiritual system, had seen a lot of people who could target plants, so when he was waiting for this person to relax at the beginning, he didn't expect that his mind was so meticulous that he was planning for him from beginning to end. In this case, Zhang Mu thought it would be better to use the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind just now.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the silver-haired leader who had been waiting for a long time. His eyes were very steady, neither humble nor arrogant. He did not show any relief or worry after surviving the disaster. He just said calmly, "You said you would let me live, how can I believe you?"

"You are not so naive, are you? What qualifications do you have to bargain with me now, big businessman? You are no different from fish on the chopping board. Don't you know that any transaction requires sufficient capital? I hold your life in my hands. If I kill you, it will be no different from killing an ant. Do you understand what I mean?"

The silver-haired leader grabbed Zhang Mu's collar with one hand and lifted him up.

"You are afraid that your power will collapse at some point. Otherwise, even I, the No. 1 agent of this era, will not be your opponent. Yet you still want to become one of us. If you don't care, then killing me should be fine. It's just a waste of the performance you just put on."

The calmer Zhang Mu acted, the more helpless the silver-haired leader became. Right now, he would not take any threats or persuasion.

After thinking for a while, the silver-haired man finally couldn't resist his desire for stable power, but he felt threatened by his wife and children, so he had to bite his tongue and said, "Okay, as long as you tell me, I can put you at the farthest place from my mental control."

"But I advise you not to think about anything other than saving your life. Otherwise, I will give up my position as an agent of Epoch Times and let you taste the most delicious flavor."

Zhang Mu still said calmly, "Then come with me to Jiyuan Store. With my introduction, you will naturally get it."
