Chapter 683 From now on, I have the final say here

"Have you heard? The seven elders of the Pantheon are dead!"

"Dead? Is this news true?"

"That was a 13th-rank lord, how could he suddenly die?"

"I just received the news. Of the three elders and a dozen deacons in the Pantheon, only the first and third elders returned, and they were all seriously injured."

"So exaggerated? What happened?"

"That's not clear. Some people speculate that he was unlucky enough to encounter a demon king-level monster."

"Hiss! Demon King level!?"

In the various divine cities surrounding the Eastern Demon Realm, the lords gathered together to discuss, and bursts of exclamations were heard from the crowd from time to time.

It only took half a day.

The news of the Pantheon's disastrous defeat had spread completely, causing an uproar among the major forces and lords.

You should know that this time the Pantheon sent out three elders at a time, and there were more than ten deacons.

They definitely didn't expect that with such powerful fighting force, they would still fail.

That guy named Lin You, who is wanted by all major forces, really has such terrifying strength?

Isn't it said that it is only the twelfth level? And it was just brought up from the lower world not long ago.

"Did he hide his strength before?"

In the conference hall of the God-Destroying Alliance, a group of high-level officials were also discussing the matter.

"Probably not. I was in pursuit of that underworld lord when he escaped. At that time, he was only a quasi-god of level 4."

"I don't think so either. After all, even if he really had an encounter and reached the thirteenth level, it would be impossible for him to cause such a serious loss to the Pantheon."

"I am more inclined to believe that we encountered the Demon King. Could it be that there are powerful monsters guarding his territory?"

"Impossible. The demons and our lord have always been mortal enemies. How could they send out high-level demons to protect a lord?"

"Then how do you explain that he established a territory at the entrance of the Eastern Demon Realm and survived for so long?"

"That's just the outermost part of the East Demon Realm. Don't we often go there to hunt monsters? What does this mean?"

There was a lot of discussion in the conference hall, and the senior executives expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, it even led to a fierce quarrel, making it extremely lively.

After all, it involves a huge bounty of hundreds of thousands, and not to mention a treasure like the World Core.

Any one of them is enough to drive them crazy.

"alright."

Finally, the man sitting at the head of the table spoke up to stop their quarrel.

"This matter is too strange. It would be better to send someone to investigate there first. It would be best if we could get some useful information from the Pantheon. After we are sure there is no danger, it won't be too late to encircle and suppress the Lord of the Underworld."

"But."

A deacon below opened his mouth, wanting to think about what to do if other forces got there first.

But before she could say anything, she was frightened by the man's indifferent gaze and shrank back, not daring to say anything more.

Then the topic in the entire conference hall turned to how to get information from the Pantheon, and the plan to send people to encircle Lin You was temporarily abandoned.

Invisibly, this bought Lin You a lot of time.

After all, his relationship with the demons isn't good enough to get them to help him every time, so he still has to rely on himself in the end.

And just when everyone was talking about this matter.

Less than a hundred kilometers away from the Dongji Demon Realm, a land army team was running across the wilderness, clearing out monsters along the way while heading towards Lin You's territory.

"Do you think those monsters will take our supplies this time?"

In the middle of the team, a middle-aged man who looked very experienced asked in a low voice.

Their team consisted of six people, four men and two women, all at level twelve.

Especially the person who was speaking, he had reached the level of quasi-god level 6, which was considered a very powerful team among the lords.

"I think so, right? Tomorrow is the agreed delivery date."

Another person took over, but there was obvious worry on his face.

"The situation is a bit tense recently. I heard that something went wrong at the Pantheon. It's better to be careful." A charming woman next to her said.

"Anyway, let's go take a look first. We're not here to cause trouble, so nothing should go wrong."

Trading with the demons is an extremely dangerous act.

But in the face of interests, there is no distinction between friend and foe. Although the relationship between the two sides is hostile, there are still many lords who take risks and want to make a fortune from it.

It’s like two countries are at war, but merchants are still moving around.

The only difference is that the recent news of the Pantheon's disastrous defeat has made many lords afraid to approach the Dongji Demon Realm easily.

"We have collected so many supplies this time. If everything goes well, we can earn at least 30,000 tier-12 crystals. I don't know how long it will take to get them if we kill monsters." The middle-aged man said solemnly.

“30,000!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other five people were shocked.

If so many Law Crystals are evenly distributed, each of them can get 5,000, which requires killing at least 50,000 monsters below the twelfth level elites to get them.

Their troops are only of legendary level, so it is not easy to deal with those monsters.

It would take at least half a month to reach 50,000. If you encounter elite monsters or above, you might suffer heavy losses.

But now, just a trip to the Dongji Demon Realm can be equivalent to their half a month's hard work. This deal is enough for them to take risks.

Since you have to take risks anyway, of course you should choose the way that makes money quickly.

"Look! What is that?"

Suddenly, a shout rang out in the team.

Several people who were discussing looked up into the distance and were all stunned.

They saw that outside the entrance to the familiar Dongji Demon Realm, it was covered by twisted vines and plants, stretching for dozens of kilometers.

Some of those plants were towering into the sky, while others spread out from the blood, completely transforming the area around the entrance into a strange forest. Strange-looking soldiers were patrolling around the forest.

A closer look revealed that they were all extraordinary! At the edge of the entrance, a figure stood there, as if specially welcoming them.

"stop!"

The middle-aged man in the lead shouted, and the entire military team stopped a hundred meters away from the entrance, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

"I guess you are the Lin You who has been making so much noise recently?"

"I'm right."

Lin You narrowed his eyes and glanced at the troops behind them.

"Are you the ones who are here to deliver the supplies?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yes, it's us. We have traded with several leaders many times before."

"In that case, leave the things here. I will hand over the supplies to them."

As early as when this team appeared within a hundred kilometers, the Emerald Green Dragon in charge of reconnaissance had already conveyed the news to Lin You.

So he wasn't too surprised.

The people on the opposite side were delighted when they heard this.

The rumors were indeed true, this lord of the underworld really established a territory here.

What was beyond their expectations was that the demons actually entrusted the matter of trading materials to a human lord like him. It was simply unbelievable.

But this is actually good news for them.

Because compared to monsters, trading with humans is always safer.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother." The man said very politely.

Lin You’s notoriety spread far and wide, and he not only escaped the pursuit of the elders of the Pantheon, but also killed dozens of twelfth-level lords on the way.

Although they did not believe that the person who severely injured the Grand Elder of the Pantheon was Lin You, they did not dare to underestimate him.

After exchanging a glance, they waved their hands, and all kinds of supplies and equipment that only humans had appeared on the ground, piling up into small hills.

Lin You checked and found that it was exactly the same as what the lords had said.

For example, besides food and equipment.

The three-headed dragon tribe also demanded various poisons made by human alchemists.

What the Qiongqi monster wants is various kinds of refined blood.

There were a lot of corpses and debris on the side of the undead leader.

Lin You even saw a lot of human clothing and armor in it, which were probably reserved by other leaders, or they were prepared to curry favor with some higher-level humanoid monster.

In short, there is everything.

After a quick look, Lin You nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, name a price."

"40,000 twelfth-level crystals." The man said quickly.

It took them a great deal of effort and time to collect these supplies.

Although 30,000 is a reasonable price they expected, there is still some room for bargaining.

"20,000."

Lin You's calm voice sounded, and he directly cut the price in half.

When the people opposite heard this, their expressions suddenly froze on their faces and their brows slightly wrinkled.

This is too much bargaining.

But before they could speak, Lin You continued, "You may not know yet, from now on, all the supplies in this area outside the Demon Realm must pass through my hands before they can enter."

His identity today is no longer the same as before.

With the support of Niu Fei, a high-level demon who even Jiuying is afraid of, it can be said that he has absolute say in this outer area.

Although he knew that Niu Fei was just using him, wasn't he also using the other party's power? After hearing his words, the people on the opposite side were also shocked by him.

Will all material transactions from now on have to go through his hands?

The demons actually gave him such great power as a human lord? They dared to guarantee that if this news was spread back to their city, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"certainly."

At this time, Lin You's voice continued to sound.

"If you can help me do one thing, I can trade with you for 30,000."

"What's the matter?" the man asked subconsciously.

“Help me take a message back and tell them that I, Lin You, want to build a trading city here where gods and demons coexist!”

"What did you say!?"

Everyone in the team, including the men, was stunned and looked at Lin You in disbelief.

A trading city where gods and demons coexist.

How arrogant and bold does one have to be to say such a thing? ?
