Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 245: Chapter 239: Pressuring the Liu Family, the Second Transaction

Invasion?

Return?

Regarding the notion of return, Lin Yuan had actually heard of it before.

The last time, he had heard this idea from Great Black Heaven’s mouth.

”Back then, Great Black Heaven mentioned the concept of return, but did not elaborate,” Lin Yuan said slowly.

”Just as people are divided into good and evil, so too is the world.”

”Once upon a time, the Mysterious World and the Real World were one, the Mysterious World representing the bad side, and the Real World the good side.”

”Due to some special reason, they were cast apart.”

”However, no matter what, the Real World and the Mysterious World are ultimately one, the return is inevitable, and no one can change it!” The dean informed Lin Yuan of what he knew.

It was precisely because the inevitability of this couldn’t be changed that the Nine Cities Plan came to be.

In the future, the world will undoubtedly be one where humans and evil spirits coexist, making the Nine Cities Plan extremely important in such circumstances.

After chatting a bit more, Lin Yuan remembered his plan to obliterate the Deceitful King Faction.

Originally, this was something to be discussed with Ye Qing, since matters in this area were his responsibility.

Lin Yuan thought again, considering that the dean was wise almost to an abnormal extent, he was like a living Zhuge Liang!

Why not tell him about this, perhaps he could offer some advice.

”Dean, I want to wipe out the Deceitful King Faction, do you think this is feasible?” Lin Yuan asked tentatively.

”A bit difficult!” the dean replied.

”I’m already Tier Four!” Lin Yuan emphasized.

”Still a bit difficult!” the dean reiterated.

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Seeing Lin Yuan’s puzzled expression, the dean explained, ”The headquarters of the Deceitful King Faction is a place I cannot perceive.”

”If my guess is correct, the Ghost Leader is likely the World Honored’s representative in the Real World.”

”At this stage, the World Honored definitely cannot descend into this realm. However, perhaps the Ghost Leader can use some of the World Honored’s power.”

”The reason for not acting against the Deceitful King Faction so far is precisely because it’s a place beyond my knowing.”

”The unknown is the truly terrifying.”

The power of the World Honored, even in the Mysterious World, is absolutely top-tier.

Lin Yuan estimated it was Tier One, at the very least Tier Two.

Even the dean did not know the depths of the Deceitful King Faction, which illustrated how unfathomably deep the waters in Lin’an City were!

Suddenly, Lin Yuan had an idea.

Since it was unclear how deep the waters were, there was only one solution.

Which is to have someone test it first.

And Lin Yuan had already chosen this person; it was Yang Jing.

Yang Jing’s strength was sufficiently strong, and since he was part of the Deceitful King Faction, the Ghost Leader likely wouldn’t be wary of him.

By surprise, in a sneak attack situation, there would be a chance to probe the depths of the Deceitful King Faction.

Also, from his last conversation with Yang Jing, Lin Yuan knew that Yang Jing no longer wanted to live.

Before he died, having Yang Jing make a final stand at the Deceitful King Faction’s headquarters would be the high point of his life.

However, there was a pre-condition for this plan to be implemented.

The prerequisite for all of this was that Lin Yuan had to rescue Yang Jing’s sister.

Only by rescuing Yang Chan would Yang Jing cooperate with him.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible.

”Dean, do you have any way of rescuing someone from the Deceitful King Faction’s headquarters?” Lin Yuan asked the dean.

Dean: ”?????”

The dean looked at Lin Yuan with a look that said, ”Are you kidding me?”

Feeling perplexed under the dean’s gaze, Lin Yuan wondered if he had said something wrong.

”Do you want to think about what you’re saying?”

”You’re asking someone bedridden to help you rescue someone, and from the Deceitful King Faction’s headquarters at that?”

”Is it possible that I need someone to push my wheelchair when I go out for a walk or to get some sun?” The dean had a speechless expression.

The dean was the peak of human ”wisdom.”

Rescuing someone was truly beyond his capability.

The most critical issue was that he was paralyzed from the waist down.

Lin Yuan felt a bit awkward, and he explained his agreement with Yang Jing and his plan to the dean.

”This matter is simple!”

”How did you get to the Mysterious World?”

”The Teleportation Gate of the Liu Family could send you to the Mysterious World, so sending someone to Peng City would naturally be just as simple.”

”Although the Liu Family’s Teleportation Gates are few, having one more is not a big issue.”

”Aren’t the Liu Family members still in Peng City without leaving? Just negotiate with them for another Teleportation Gate...” The dean whispered a few words in Lin Yuan’s ear, explaining how to negotiate with the Liu Family.

Lin Yuan chatted with the dean for a while longer and agreed that after resolving the hidden threat of the Deceitful King Faction, he would come to learn how to harness the power with the soul.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yuan went to see Ye Qing, instructing him to mobilize forces from various places to cooperate with his plan to eliminate the Deceitful King Faction.

Since Lin Yuan’s plan had already been approved by the dean, Ye Qing naturally had no objections.

Moreover, Ye Qing was inherently part of the official hawk faction.

He had long wanted to take action against the Deceitful King Faction.

After discussing all matters with Ye Qing, night fell, and Lin Yuan familiarized himself with Jian Bing’s apartment.

...

...

After the Liu Family’s last negotiation with Lin Yuan, there had been no substantial progress.

However, the Liu Family’s need for Guardian Demon Alloy was too urgent.

Thus, the representatives from the Liu Family hadn’t left Peng City, always ready for a second round of negotiations.

In the past few days, representatives from the Liu Family had approached Yang Dingguo several times to request a second round of negotiations.

At that time, Lin Yuan had already ventured into the Mysterious World, making a breakthrough, and was not in Peng City.

So Yang Dingguo simply didn’t meet with them and directly instructed Secretary Wang to reject them all.

The Liu Family repeatedly sought negotiations with Lin Yuan, yet were repeatedly refused.

Liu Bei went to visit Zhuge Liang only three times, but the Liu Family has been rejected at least seven or eight times.

Initially, the Liu Family had little hope, but today Lin Yuan actively requested to meet them.

This thrilled the Liu Family members, thinking Lin Yuan wanted to complete a deal with them.

After all, the Liu Family’s Teleportation Gate technology was indeed needed by the government.

Peng City.

Inside the conference room.

Lin Yuan sat at the head seat, looking at the slightly tense Liu Family members sitting there.

”Mr. Lin, may I ask, are you willing to trade the Guardian Demon Alloy with us?”

”Rest assured, as long as you are willing to trade, we can provide the Teleportation Gate technology at any time. Moreover, for any missing parts, we will promptly deliver them to you!” the Liu Family representative quickly said.

Having stayed in Peng City long enough, they were left hanging with no one to receive them daily.

After being left like this long enough, they felt increasingly powerless.

At this moment, the Liu Family delegation just wanted to quickly conclude the deal and then leave Peng City.

However, Lin Yuan shook his head and coldly said, ”I made it very clear last time about the Guardian Demon Alloy.”

”This item cannot be traded.”

”The higher-ups are also clear. It is impossible to allow you to build a Giant City. If you let the Deceitful King Faction build a Giant City, it would be a real joke to the law of the land.”

”The reason I called you here this time is that I still need a teleportation gate like the one last time.”

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the Liu Family representative’s brow furrowed, and his face turned extremely unsightly.

The Guardian Demon Alloy was not possible for them to trade, yet they were called here to obtain the teleportation gate.

It’s worth noting that last time, to show sincerity, the Liu Family had already provided a teleportation gate in advance.

Lin Yuan was clearly treating them like a rank-smelling urinal, taking them out when needed and pushing them back under the bed when not needed.

”Mr. Lin, I hope you understand that the teleportation gate is our bargaining chip for the exchange.”

”If you are unwilling to exchange the Guardian Demon Alloy, then we will refuse to provide you with the teleportation gate.”

”The Liu Family’s technology would rather be destroyed than be handed over in vain again.”

”I hope Mr. Lin, you will consider it well. I believe this deal is very necessary.”

”If you agree to the trade, not only will you gain the teleportation gate technology, but you can also create the previous type of one-time teleportation gate and establish permanent teleportation gates connecting shelters everywhere.”

”This matter holds strategic significance for you.” The Liu Family representative was getting a bit anxious. Although he used the polite form, his language had a certain desperate undertone.

”Bang!” Lin Yuan slammed the table, the aura from his body instantly filling the conference room. He shouted angrily, ”Do you mean to threaten me?”

As Lin Yuan’s presence enveloped the conference room, the few people from the Liu Family felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making even breathing extremely difficult.

After a moment, Lin Yuan withdrew his oppressive aura and slowly said, ”For one teleportation gate, my condition is that during future reckoning, Liu Family children under the age of fourteen can be exempted from guilt and have the right to reside in the Giant City.”

”Otherwise, during the reckoning, the Liu Family should prepare to face annihilation!”

According to the laws before the Mysterious World invasion, the punishment did not extend to family members; even during a reckoning, it would not necessarily annihilate the entire clan.

But in chaotic times, harsh measures are needed.

In the current state of the world, to deter those with malicious intentions, there can be no leniency toward the core members’ families of the Deceitful King Faction.

Annihilating the entire clan is certain.

Exchanging a teleportation gate for immunity for children under 14 is actually quite a favorable deal for the Liu Family.

Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the faces of the Liu Family members turned ashen, their bodies trembling slightly.

Reckoning.

Immunity for children under 14.

No wonder they were unwilling to trade the Guardian Demon Alloy; it was because the day of reckoning was approaching!

They were not far from death.

”Gulp!” The Liu Family representative swallowed, easing the terror in his heart, and spoke, ”I can’t make the decision on this matter, I need to contact my elder brother.”
