Ximen Dingjun’s status was exceptional. If he died here, and even if Chen Xiaobei saved everyone else, someone out of the one million people would have leaked the news, and many people would be implicated.
To save everyone, Chen Xiaobei had to save Ximen Dingjun.
“You want to save them?” The Tyrant Dragon King thought for a while and then nodded. “Fine! But I require a simultaneous exchange. I give you them, and you give me the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb!”
“That’s not possible!” Chen Xiaobei declined. “What if when I give you the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb, you launch an attack on us. Then we’d all be dead.”
“Hey kid!” The Tyrant Dragon King said. “You wanted to talk business, so I talked business with you! But now, you want take the money but not deliver the goods! That’s not how business is done!”
“I didn’t say that I won’t give it to you! I just want to make sure that everyone can retreat safely before I do!”
“How are you going to do that?” The Tyrant Dragon King asked. “The portals are all destroyed. There’s no way you can leave this planet! The only way to ensure your safety is to wait for the Temple to send their interstellar spaceships to rescue you! By then, all my one million subjects would be dead! Do you think I will just wait to die here like a fool?”
Chen Xiaobei frowned. “Of course, not! But why should I trust you?”
“I’ve already told you that everything I have done is for the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb! I cannot be bothered to kill you little insects!” The Tyrant Dragon King said, “Once I get the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb, I will retreat immediately! I won’t kill any of you humans!”
Chen Xiaobei contemplated the offer for a moment and then nodded, “Fine. We’ll do a simultaneous exchange! You stay where you are! Just instruct that raven to bring them here!”
“Alright!” The Tyrant Dragon King turned to the black raven and said, “Go! Get me that Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb!”
“Yes, your honor!” The raven flew over to Chen Xiaobei with Ximen Dingjun and Meng Qianshan in its claws.
Bam! Bam!
The raven tossed Ximen Dingjun and Meng Qianshan on the ground.
“My god!” Ximen Dingjun threw himself at Chen Xiaobei’s calf. “My god! We’re safe! I’m safe! I thought that I was going to be eaten by the Demonic Beasts! My god! It was scary!”
“I’m not your god! Let go of me!” Chen Xiaobei spat.
“No! I won’t let go!” Tears were already streaming down Ximen Dingjun’s face. He hugged Chen Xiaobei’s leg, not willing to let go. “All the other people are rubbish! Only Mr. Chen can protect me! I won’t let go even if you beat me to death! I won’t!
Bam!
Chen Xiaobei swiftly stooped over and gave Ximen Dingjun a chop on the back of his neck, and knocked the idiot unconscious.
“Old Meng, can you still move? Please bring the Ninth Young Lord into the canyon!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“No problem!” Meng Qianshan nodded. “Mr. Chen really is an extraordinary person. Because you saved us, the Ninth Young Lord and I owe you a big favor!”
Meng Qianshan was covered in bruises, but the body of a starved camel is still bigger than a living horse. He was a demigod ranked super elite, so he could still stand up.
The old man picked Ximen Dingjun up, and made a dash for the canyon.
“You have your people now! Hand over the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb to me now!” The raven urged impatiently.
“Don’t worry! I have always been a person who keeps my promises. I only hope that you won’t go back on your words!” Chen Xiaobei said as he handed the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb over to the raven.
“Hehe!” The raven chuckled, grabbed the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb with its claw and flew back to its king.
“Your honor, Tyrant Dragon King! I’ve brought you the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb!” The raven sounded very excited.
“Great! After being trapped here for 500 years, I can finally be free! This is great!” The Tyrant Dragon King was over the moon.
The dark purple giant python and the black giant ape did a little dance.
When they saw this, the rest of Demonic Beasts asked, “Tyrant Dragon King! Now that we’ve got the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb, are we going to retreat?”
According to what the Tyrant Demonic King said, all of the Demonic Beasts should withdraw.
But the Tyrant Demonic King shook its king, “Who told you to do that? We are Demonic Beasts! Humans and us are enemies! Withdraw? What a joke!”
All of the Demonic Beasts were shocked to hear this. They had not thought that their king would go back on his own words so quickly!
The Tyrant Dragon King chuckled. “There are one million young people before us. Their flesh is fresh and tender, and their blood is fragrant and sweet! Don’t you want to taste it? Don’t you want to own the things they have in their Storage Bracelets?”
The Demonic Beasts paused, then broke into excited chatter.
“That’s right! We are Demonic Beasts! We are enemies of humans! If we don’t kill them today, they will kill us tomorrow!”
“You’re right! Humans must die! We Demonic Beasts, are the lords of the universe!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill! The buffet is before us! There’s plenty of human meat, and plenty of resources! Kill all of the humans, and they would all belong to us!”
The beasts began to roar. The one million Demonic Beasts were even more spirited than they were before.
After all, in the beginning, they only fought under orders.
Right now, they could fight and reap the benefits.
These beings would do anything for a profit. For the sake of material gains, the one million Demonic Beasts would kill all of the humans!
“What are you doing? You said that you were going to withdraw! How could you weasel out like that?!” Chen Xiaobei shouted at the Demonic Beasts.
“Heh, I did go back on my words! Why? Are you shocked? Are you surprised?” The Tyrant Dragon King sneered. “Only stupid people will believe a Demonic Beast’s words! You don’t have any bargaining chips anymore. Be a good lamb and die! Hahaha!”
“Who said I don’t have bargaining chip?” Chen Xiabeo took out a straw of Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb.
“Huh? You have a Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb!” The Tyrant Dragon King said, “How could you have so many of these rare Spiritual Medicine?”
“This is my bargaining chip!” Chen Xiaobei announced.
“Hehe, are you stupid? Or just plain dumb?” The Tyrant Dragon King said. “I already have enough Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb. I don’t need any more of that!”
“Really?” Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you take a good look at what you got?”
The apparent Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb that the black raven was holding suddenly changed its form.
