After hearing the story, everyone fell silent.
Elena looked at him sympathetically. After following the White Crane around the human world, she suddenly realized that humans were really evil. They were a race completely dominated by their own desires. Their desire for money, power, and lust could make them abandon all beliefs.
Arlene had also participated in the siege of Lordfill that night, but she did not regret it. No matter how tragic his past was and how deep his hatred was, the crimes he had committed in the Roman family were something that Arlene, as a high priest, could not tolerate.
Apart from sympathy, Arlene also despised Lordfill. He had been blinded by hatred and sold his soul to the demons.
Huyt, Yin Xue, and the others had indifferent expressions on their faces. Because they had also suffered tragic experiences, they were already numb. However, from their hateful gazes, one could tell how painful memories the capital had given them.
Bai He slowly nodded and coldly said,""Then what can you do for me? I don't need someone blinded by hatred to stay by my side.”
"I will never forget my hatred, Master," said Lordfill respectfully,"but I will not let it rule my mind. I can use an unscrupulous businessman's mind to plan for you!”
"Very good. Now, go and tidy up. Then, come to my room to see me.”Bai He waved his hand at him.
Lordfill bowed and retreated.
Only then did the white crane begin to learn the magic techniques of the gods from Elena.
When Bai He returned to his room, Lodefell was already waiting for him. He changed into a long black robe, his long hair hanging loosely behind him, like a cynical madman. There was no sharp light in his eyes, but they were dull and deep. There was no hope or life in them.
The scariest thing was his face, which was covered with scars of different depths. His entire face was uneven and full of potholes. This was when he was hiding in the Dimensional Space. He knew that if he wanted revenge, he had to hide his original identity, so he was ruthless enough to change himself into this state.
Bai He looked at his face and said nothing. He slowly walked to the bed and sat down, asking in a calm tone.
"In your opinion, what kind of race are humans?”
"Master, humans are a powerful race.”Lordfilton paused and said coldly,""Humans have a persistent belief. Under the call of the god race, they can burst out with unimaginable power. Moreover, the number of humans was more than ten times that of the demons. With the help of the gods and elves, they were completely capable of resisting the demons and dragons led by their master.”
The White Crane nodded to itself. If Lodfell told him how weak the human race was and asked him to quickly lead the demon army to destroy the human race, the White Crane would definitely kill him without hesitation.
"So in your opinion, I can't conquer the human world?”Bai He said coldly.
"Master, although humans are a powerful race, they have a fatal weakness. Humans were greedy and selfish. In the face of benefits, they would abandon everything! As long as Master uses this to drive a wedge between the humans, elves, and even the gods, causing them to fall into isolation, Master can easily conquer the human world and even turn the gods into your slaves!”
"Very good. In your opinion, what should we do?”
The White Crane's tone softened, but its gaze became sharper as it stared intently into Lordfill's eyes.
There was no reaction in Lordfill's turbid and cold eyes. He continued to speak in an indifferent tone," On one hand, Master wants to use Sky Dragon Empire as the center to plunge mankind into chaos. This chaos will spread to the entire human world and consume the strength of mankind, causing them to hate each other and no longer trust each other.”
"This requires controlling the economy of the Sky Dragon Empire and even the human world, and Roman is the first victim, right?”Bai He interrupted him.
" That's right. The Adventurer's Chamber of Commerce controls more than half of Sky Dragon Empire's trade. If we take it over, it will be of great benefit to our plan. And I can also achieve my goal of revenge!”Lordfill did not hide his desire for revenge.
"Very good, continue!" The White Crane was very satisfied with Lodfell's honesty.
" On the other hand, Master wants to isolate the Protoss, the Elves, and the humans. In the process of conquering the human world, we want them to remain neutral!”
The White Crane couldn't help but frown when it heard this. The human race and the elf race were both people of the god race. Once one of them was attacked by the demon race, the god race wouldn't stand idly by. Elves had always been friendly with humans. As believers of the light, they would never allow humans to be attacked by demons.
Lodfell understood White Crane's thoughts and calmly said,""I don't know the situation of the God Clan, so I don't have a good way to drive a wedge between the God Clan and the Human Clan. However, it's not difficult to make the Elf Clan remain neutral.”
"Do you have any good ideas?" Bai He asked.
"Master, when I was doing business on the continent, I heard that the elves are a race with supreme royal power. Now, the elven queen Mayfair has just come of age. If master has a way to make her your woman, it won't be a problem for the elves to remain neutral.”Lordfill said calmly.
Only now did Bai He understand what he meant, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
It turned out to be a marriage alliance. What an ancient and effective method. It seemed that whether it was in the previous life or in this other world, whether it was God or Demon, they all liked to use love as a political tool.
"What should I do?" The White Crane tacitly agreed to his suggestion.
After some thought, Lordfill slowly said,""The elves are also quite hostile to the Dark Races. Master must first hide his identity and secretly infiltrate the elves. This required the help of the elves. "The elves around you seem to have status in the elf race. If Master can conquer their hearts, then you'll be halfway to success.”
" Conquer the heart of the elves." Bai He sighed in his heart. Even a god would probably be unable to conquer the hearts of others!
At noon the next day, Bai He sent someone to invite Luo Mu to his house.
"President Roman, it's my honor to have you here. This time, I specially invited you to have lunch to express my gratitude to you. I'm very satisfied with this house!”Bai He warmly welcomed Luo Mu at the entrance, followed by Yu Xuan, Yin Xue, Ying Xin, and Chen Yue, who were all beautiful women dressed as maids.
Roman greedily glanced at the four girls while politely answering,""Young master Bai He is too polite. It is my honor to be of service to you.”
White Crane led Roman into the hall.
As soon as he entered, Roman was stunned by the Dragon Crystal embedded in the wall. He was so stunned that he could not speak. After a long time, he looked at Bai He in confusion and asked in a trembling voice,"These…these can't be dragon crystal souls, right?”
Bai He smiled faintly and said as if nothing had happened,""President Roman sure knows his stuff. I found these Dragon Crystal Souls in a cave when I was traveling on the continent. There are a total of a hundred of them.”He turned around and made a gesture of invitation, leading Roman to the dining table.
Roman's gaze kept on circling the Dragon Crystal Soul as he calculated in his heart.
The four maidservants kept bringing delicious food to the table. Bai He raised his glass and toasted while chatting with Luo Mu.
Roman was absent-minded and did not even know what the food tasted like. He was calculating in his heart whether this Bai He was a hidden expert or an idiot. It would be strange if the news of the Dragon Crystal Soul being hung on the wall like an ornament was not stolen by others.
However, in the face of such huge benefits, Roman could no longer keep his mind clear.
"Young master Bai He, do you know that if others knew that you have so many dragon crystal souls, it would be very unsafe?”Roman asked tentatively.
"No way. This is the Imperial City. Could it be that there are bandits here? Furthermore, I also know some magic, and I have a good relationship with Lord Yu Feng, Miss Trene, and Miss Laurel. If anyone dares to mess around in my house, you have to think about the consequences!”Bai He pretended to be inexperienced.
Roman smiled strangely and said in a low voice,""I'm afraid that young master Bai He hasn't figured it out yet. Although there are no bandits in the Imperial Capital, some of the nobles are even more terrifying than bandits.”
" You mean…" Bai He looked at him in confusion.
"I believe you've heard of Prince Ocard.”Luomu looked at Bai He and saw Bai He nod gently. He continued,""The owner of this house, my good friend Lodefell, had his family destroyed because Prince Ocard coveted his wealth. If he were to randomly make up a crime for you, then even Lord Yu Feng and Miss Laurel wouldn't be able to save you! Sigh, I'm only reminding you because I treat you as a friend!”
His face was full of regret when he mentioned Lordfill.
Bai He secretly praised his acting skills. If it was in his previous life, he would probably be more famous than big stars like Zhou Yun Fa. If he didn't know about this, he would definitely be deceived by him.
Bai He's expression changed greatly, and he said in a panic,""This, what should I do? Fortunately, I had your reminder. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died. I'll immediately hide these things!”
Luomu looked at Bai He with sympathy and said helplessly,""Sigh, Prince Ocard is extremely powerful. I'm afraid he already knew about this.”
"Then…then I can only leave the capital overnight. It's just a pity that this house.”Bai He said painfully.
"It's useless. If you leave the Imperial Capital, Prince Ocard will have nothing to worry about.”
The White Crane fell silent. It looked at Roman with a pleading gaze, but it sneered in its heart. Humans were really stupid. In front of huge benefits, even the most treacherous merchant would become an idiot.
Roman's expression kept changing. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a painful decision. He said in a deep voice,"Young master Bai He, you and I are friends after all. Sell all of these Dragon Crystal Souls to me and I'll resell them quickly. This way, when Prince Ocard sees that you don't have any, he won't make things difficult for you.”
"Then aren't you in danger? "What if…" The white crane looked at Luo Mu worriedly.
"Prince Ocard's attention is definitely on you. As long as I secretly bring the Dragonshard to another country for auction, he won't be able to do anything. "But the price…" Roman looked at the white crane and hesitated.
Bai He secretly greeted all the female relatives within three generations of his family, but he put on a greedy expression on his face and asked in a low voice,"How much do you plan to use to buy it?”
Roman hesitated for a moment and said tentatively,""The risk this time is too great, and I don't have much money on hand. How about this, I'll give you 500 million gold coins for 100 Dragon Crystal Souls!”Luo Mu observed Bai He's expression and immediately changed his words when he saw Bai He's expression darken.""But I'm friends with Young Master White Crane. I can't let my friends suffer. How about this, I'll give you 800 million gold coins!”
The two of them quickly completed the transaction. Bai He ordered people to take down all the Dragon Crystal Soul on the wall, put it in a big bag, and handed it to Luo Mu. Luo Mu left behind a signed receipt.
Roman's carriage left.
At this moment, the corners of Roman and Bai He's mouths curled into a smug smile…
"Next, it will depend on your ability. I hope you are a successful businessman!”Bai He said to Lordfill as he leisurely sat on a recliner at home.
"I won't disappoint you." " We can make Roman lose at least half of his capital in this deal," said Lordfill in a deep voice." This way, our own Chamber of Commerce can easily destroy St. Toque."”
"Have you investigated how Roman's wealth came about?”
"Yes, Master. The main trade of the St. Toque Chamber of Commerce is to transport spices, cloth, furniture, and other daily necessities from neighboring countries. They sell them at a high price in the capital and purchase porcelain and other crafts from the capital to sell in neighboring countries.”
"In other words, as long as we have the same goods to sell at a low price and buy the crafts that Roman needs at a high price, we can easily squeeze out the badly damaged St. Toque Chamber of Commerce.”Bai He said indifferently.
"Yes, Master." " Of course!" Lordfill replied respectfully." This kind of trade war is actually a competition of whose capital is abundant. Although we can win, we will definitely suffer a great loss.”
"Are you worried that the third party will benefit from the fight between the snipe and clam?”
"Yes, Master, it's not impossible!”" You…" Lordfill's expression was gloomy. Although his tone was cold, one could still hear his worry." In the Imperial Capital, only Prince Ocard and the Offat family have such strength. Although Prince Ocard couldn't directly interfere, he could very well sponsor Roman from behind and benefit from it. The Offart Family's wealth is on par with the St. Toker Merchant Association. Once they interfere, we will definitely be unable to deal with them.”
"Offate clan?" Bai He frowned and asked. Is it Laurel's family?"
"Yes, Master. Laurel is the daughter of Duke Raymond, the master of the Offatt family. She is also the future heir of the Offatt family. This family owns a large amount of land and holds the monopoly of the Empire's military supplies. We can't shake them at the moment.”
White Crane thought for a moment, then instructed Lordfill,""Do as you wish, Lordfill. I will think of a way to keep the Offat family out of this.”
"Yes, Master!" Lordfill did not doubt Bai He's words at all and retreated.
"You sold the Dragon Crystal Soul to Roman?”Yu Feng rushed into White Crane's house, only to find that Tracy, Laurel, Nasha, Barker, and Evan were all there.
On the second day after the White Crane sold the Dragon Crystal Soul to Roman, the news that the Adventurer's Chamber of Commerce had the Dragon Crystal Soul began to spread.
This was naturally Chairman Roman's masterpiece. He wanted to let everyone on the continent know that his merchant association had the Dragon Crystal Soul. When more rich people came, he would auction it publicly. That way, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Back in Windrock City, the White Crane had exchanged the Dragon Crystal Soul for a small accessory for Tracy, so Laurel and Tracy had guessed that it was the White Crane who had sold the Dragon Crystal Soul to Roman. Upon hearing this news, Laurel dragged Nasha and Tracy to look for White Crane, reminding him that it was unwise to sell the Dragon Crystal Soul to Roman.
Then Barker and Evan came knocking on the door. Just as Bai He was fretting over how to explain, Yu Feng also rushed in.
When everyone heard that Bai He sold Luo Mu a hundred Dragon Crystal Souls, their mouths were wide open.
"Your luck is too good. You actually picked up so many dragon crystal souls!”Yu Feng shouted enviously," But why don't you go to the auction yourself? That way, you can earn more!"”
"That's right, Young Master White Crane. If you don't understand the auction process, I can help you. The price you sold to Roman was too low.”
Bai He shrugged and spread his hands in front of him, saying as if nothing had happened,"I'm afraid of trouble."
Under Yu Feng's scolding and the regretful looks of Treney and Leya Nasha, the white crane suddenly felt a wave of warmth. So, there's still a group of friends who care about me!
At this moment, Chen Yue, Yin Xue, and the others brought tea over. For a moment, Barker, Evan, and Yu Feng, who was naturally flirtatious, were all staring blankly.
" These people are…" Yu Feng looked at Bai He in confusion.
"My subordinate." Seeing Yu Feng's surprised expression, Bai He smiled again. Usually, when he strolled around with Yu Feng, there would always be young girls and noble ladies around him staring at Yu Feng with naked gazes, as if they wanted to swallow him whole. However, he didn't expect that this guy still couldn't stand beautiful women.
"A subordinate?" Yu Feng said angrily," I would rather do these things myself than let such a beautiful lady do it. You really have no manners at all!”
The four girls all felt that Yu Feng was being funny and couldn't help but smile.
Nasha burst out laughing and teased,"Lord Yu Feng is indeed the number one lover in the Imperial City. Does he say this to every beautiful woman?”
"Yes, Miss Nasha, I will tell you the same thing in a few years.”Yu Feng also teased.
"Alright, but by then, the handsome and suave Lord Yu Feng would have already become an old man. I won't bother with you!”Nasha retorted.
The four women brought the tea to everyone and left with their hands down.
Yu Feng put away his cynical expression and suddenly said to Bai He with a serious tone,""Actually, I've always wanted to compete with you, but I've given up now.”
"Why?" Bai He asked in confusion.
"Your four maids are on par with me, so I believe I'm no match for you.”
Yu Feng's words shocked everyone. One had to know that Yu Feng was an expert among the youths in the Imperial Capital. His talent was so high that even the proud Treini couldn't compare to him. And he actually thought that Bai He's subordinates were on par with him, wasn't this shocking? If a few of his subordinates had such strength, then wouldn't Bai He's own strength be shockingly high?
"Really? Was Bai He stronger than Sister Ye Yu?”Nasha looked at the white crane in disbelief, but the latter didn't show any reaction. It only smiled faintly.
Laurel's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at the white crane. There seemed to be something else mixed in her expression. Unfortunately, the men were usually careless, while Treney and Nasha were focused on the white crane.
Treany's heart was in turmoil. She had always felt a strong sense of oppression in front of White Crane. It was as if White Crane was a god, and she could only submit and worship him.
In the beginning, she had thought that Bai He's martial technique was not strong, so she did not think much of it. But now, she realized that all of this was just her own escape. Her subconscious fear of Bai He had made her deceive herself.
In the past few months, she felt that her martial arts had encountered a bottleneck, and at this moment, she finally knew the reason. It was Bai He who made her lose her original confidence. Unknowingly, Bai He had become his inner demon. If he couldn't defeat Bai He, he couldn't defeat himself, couldn't surpass himself, and couldn't continue to pursue the limits of martial arts!
Thinking of this, Treny suddenly stood up as if she had made up her mind. She looked at Bai He sternly."Young master Bai He, I wish to have a duel with you.”
As soon as he said this, everyone revealed a surprised expression.
Trene was competitive and conceited. Up until now, although she had accepted countless challenges, she had never taken the initiative to challenge anyone.
"What's wrong, Treny?”Laurel looked at her in surprise.
"I'm fine. Don't stop me." " Please accept my challenge!" Treney said firmly.”
"Interesting." Bai He said indifferently. He knew that rejecting her now would only hurt Trene's self-esteem. Moreover, if he didn't show off his strength to such a proud beauty, he would never be able to conquer her.
Under Bai He's lead, everyone came to the training ground in the basement. The two of them stood in their positions.
"I don't want to do a meaningless contest. Let's bet on something." Bai He suddenly said.”
"Up to you!" Trene was already in battle mode. She was highly focused, and her clear eyes were unfathomable. There was no trace of emotion.
"A kiss." Bai He said lightly," If I win, I want your lips.”
Treney's mood wasn't affected by White Crane's frivolous words. At this moment, there were no distracting thoughts in her heart, only the determination to win. She coldly said,"If I win, tell me who you are.”
Nodding its head, Bai He released a powerful light energy from its body. This was the power of light that he had just obtained. Although most of Elena's power had been sealed, she was still an orthodox god after all. Although the power that the White Crane obtained was similar to that of the capital's archbishop, Carnot, it was enough to make people fear when combined with the powerful physical body of the dragon race.
Treney held her sword with both hands and slowly placed it horizontally in front of her chest. Powerful battle energy filled her entire body.
The white crane didn't have battle energy, which was a skill unique to humans. Because the human body was very fragile, the wise men among the humans invented fighting spirit, so that the human warriors could have the same powerful body as the gods and demons, and could even attack the enemy like magic.
The Sword of Annihilation drew a beautiful arc as it slashed at Treney's neck. Elena had sealed the dark power in the sword and turned it into a light sword.
Treney only felt a powerful light power attached to her sword and slashing at her. She couldn't help but laugh coldly to herself as she gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and used all her strength to block.
In Treny's opinion, her battle energy could completely block the light energy on the White Crane Sword. She won by holding the sword with both hands. Even if she didn't send the sword flying with one strike, she could still disrupt the momentum of the sword. When the time came, she would continue to attack the White Crane, and it would soon be enough for him to give up his sword and admit defeat.
However, she had never expected the White Crane to have a body as strong as a dragon. As the two swords clashed, Trene took two steps back before she could stabilize herself.
In his shock, he no longer dared to clash head-on with the white crane. Relying on his nimble movements and rich experience, he immediately made the white crane flustered.
The battle techniques of the Protoss relied on great strength to win, and their moves and techniques were pitifully few. The white crane was also a beginner, so it was quickly thrown into a flurry by Treney.
However, Treny was also extremely shocked. She never thought that the White Crane would actually have such powerful strength. The powerful battle aura that she was so proud of was no threat to him at all. Although he clearly had the upper hand now, this kind of fighting style was very tiring. It would not be long before he was exhausted.
After fighting for a long time, the two of them were unable to do anything to each other. The people watching from the side were filled with shock. Even Yu Feng was greatly impressed by the strength of these two people, feeling that their strength was almost the same as his.
He could still understand that Treany was the Martial God's disciple, but White Crane didn't even have battle energy. It was truly unbelievable that it could reach its current level.
Treany gritted her teeth and wrapped her sword in a layer of flames as she fiercely attacked the White Crane. The power of her attack instantly increased.
Saint Catherine was good at magic, so Trene was trained in both magic and martial arts at the same time. This kind of magic swordsman who cultivated both magic and martial arts was extremely rare on the continent.
Trene attacked fiercely for a few times, taking advantage of the time when White Crane was busy defending to retreat three steps. The battle energy on her body seemed to have a life of its own, and with Trene as the center, it formed the shape of a phoenix.
"Sky Splitting Flame Slash!" Following Treney's low shout, countless crescent shaped battle-qi slashed towards the white crane. The onlookers were all shocked. They had long heard that this was Tracy's ultimate move, but no one had seen it before. They did not expect it to be so powerful.
Yu Feng only felt a burning Dou Qi rush towards him, burning his face until it hurt. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Bai He, and at the same time, he secretly praised Trene's strength.
This ultimate skill was actually a move that combined battle energy and magic. On the continent, only Saint Catherine could create such a terrifying move.
He secretly calculated in his heart that if it was him, he might be able to use all the Dou Qi in his body to defend against this earth-shattering attack. However, Bai He did not have any Dou Qi, so how could he block it?
Bai He was also shocked. If he used the power of darkness, such an attack would not be a big deal even if it hit his body. However, he had hidden all his dark energy and turned it into light energy. With his half-baked light energy, it would be strange if he wasn't injured by such battle energy.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, the White Crane gritted its teeth and ignored its original intention of practicing light magic. It shouted in a low voice,"
"Tornado!"
The high-level wind element defensive spell immediately protected the white crane. The rotating wind elements easily dispersed Treany's battle energy. The powerful wind element magic energy gathered into the shape of a dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it pounced towards Treany.
Treny, who had just unleashed her most powerful technique, couldn't use any strength at this moment. She had never thought that the technique she was proud of would be so easily broken by her opponent. Her confidence was easily shattered by Bai He. She knew that she could not defend herself against such a powerful spell. She sighed and closed her eyes.
Laurel and Nasha cried out in alarm. The wind magic was about to hit Trene, but she didn't seem to be defending at all. The two of them hurriedly tried to save her, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, a dazzling light appeared beside Treny, blocking the spell.
Under the strong light, everyone could vaguely see the white crane's figure appear beside Treny. It gently lifted Treny's chin and kissed her.
After the strong light faded, they saw Treny standing there with a sword in her hand.
At this moment, she suddenly realized how shallow her past pride was. She finally understood what a true expert was. An irresistible power!
"It's actually the Light Attribute."
Yu Feng stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.#
