Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 617: Coordinate the Performance

When he appeared again, Brother Cheng had already arrived in a strange room.

This room was the endpoint of the Transmission Spirit Pattern.

Without any surprise, it should be a secret base of the Earth Ruins Pavilion.

Yet, the expected Black Profound Race 'big shot' meant to receive him wasn't there.

The room was empty.

He opened the door, and outside was an inconspicuous courtyard.

Nearby were continuous residential houses, with occasional human voices.

He walked out, stood in the alley outside the courtyard, looking around, but still couldn't see the so-called contact person.

This made Sage Jiang a bit melancholy, as he realized he should've left someone alive earlier to lead the way.

In this situation, he could only rely on himself to find it.

"Ah, ultimately, I still have to depend on myself!"

Then he flew into the sky.

Shouting loudly downwards.

"Hey, can someone tell me where this is?"

"Hey..."

Echoes resonated, and many people in the small town below couldn't help but look up.

Upon this glance, Brother Cheng noticed something different.

The patterns on these people's foreheads were all black.

It seemed to be a small town of the Black Profound Race.

Upon discovering his white-patterned forehead, many people below flew up as well.

"A White Profound Race member?"

Soon, he was surrounded.

"How did you get here?"

"A White Profound Race member comes here and dares to be so arrogant?"

Even though there was no one behind him to capture him, Brother Cheng had to play the role of a 'captured weakling.'

So he could only smile and say, "I wasn't being arrogant, just asking."

As he spoke, he observed around.

Where on earth was the Black Profound Race's contact big shot? Hurry up and come to capture me!

"Just asking?"

The Black Profound Race folks surrounding him looked hostile, and someone started to stir up trouble.

"This looks like a spy!"

"Capture him!"

The enmity between the black and white races was deep, to the extent of no longer communicating.

Suddenly, having a White Profound Race member appear here was like being thrown into a pack of wolves.

Brother Cheng watched as they were about to take action against him, thinking if it really comes to it, he'd have to take them out.

He certainly wouldn't take a beating just to put on a show.

At worst, drop the act and head straight for the Black Profound Race Divine Hall.

Just as the situation was tense, someone outside suddenly shouted loudly.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

Then, there were waves of gasps from the crowd outside.

"Palace Master!"

"Oh my god, it's the Fire Spirit Hall Master!"

"Salute the Fire Spirit Hall Master."

The Black Profound Race could also cultivate Fire's Profound Pattern, thus having a Fire Spirit Hall Master.

In this ordinary small town, the sudden arrival of a Palace Master naturally caused quite a stir.

The crowd cheered and knelt en masse.

A middle-aged man in Palace Master-level black armor slowly walked up to Brother Cheng.

His eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Others didn't recognize Brother Cheng, but he could.

After all, he was the one who 'ordered' the capture of Sage Jiang from the Earth Ruins Pavilion, naturally having seen Brother Cheng's appearance beforehand.

But this made him extremely suspicious.

The agreement with the Earth Ruins Pavilion was to bring the captured target, Jiang Cheng, to the highest building in this small town for the transaction.

Both parties would exchange the person for the final payment.

Now, why had the target come here by himself?

Where were the people from the Earth Ruins Pavilion who captured him?

Could it be that the people there didn't show up, throwing the target here and just leaving?

If he hadn't noticed the commotion in the distance, he'd have missed it.

The Earth Ruins Pavilion was too careless. What if the target sneaked off? Didn't they want the final payment?

He was suspicious and couldn't manage the kneeling Black Profound Race cultivators, instead looking around.

Brother Cheng had to proactively remind him to deal with business.

"What are you looking for?"

Darn it, I'm standing right in front of you; shouldn't you just capture me already?

Your business skills are this poor, what are you even doing?

The Fire Spirit Hall Master of the Black Profound Race was also taken aback.

Instinctively, he asked, "Where are the people from the Earth Ruins Pavilion?"

Brother Cheng spread his hands, "They can't come."

After the question and answer, the Fire Spirit Hall Master was stunned.

Is this the reaction of a true hostage? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He strongly suspected Jiang Cheng of having a trick up his sleeve.

Could it be that the Earth Ruins Pavilion betrayed them; is there a conspiracy?

Or perhaps the White Profound Race was ambushed nearby?

However, it didn't look like it, and besides, the target Jiang Cheng was right before him.

With only the Extreme Profound Realm's First Layer, a weak realm without any disguise.

Seeing he still hadn't taken action, Brother Cheng was getting impatient.

"If you really don't have anything, I'll be on my way!"

Saying this, he indeed turned around and started flying away.

Seeing him flying farther and farther, the Fire Spirit Hall Master became anxious.

They came this time specifically to capture the White Profound Race's genius Great Sage, they couldn't just watch the target escape.

"No matter, catch him first, talk later!"

He suddenly flashed and flew in front of Jiang Cheng.

Brother Cheng cooperated within the act, didn't resist, just let him capture himself.

After truly capturing him, the Fire Spirit Hall Master himself felt surreal.

Did he really capture him so simply?

Did the Earth Ruins Pavilion really abandon the final payment?

Being cautious of potential deceit, he ordered the four Protectors behind him to stay alert at a distance.

Then he carefully held Brother Cheng, feeling like he was walking in a dragon's den.

Like this, the two slowly flew inside the Divine Hall branch within the city.

The Fire Spirit Hall Master didn't dare linger for a moment, taking Brother Cheng directly on the Transmission Spirit Pattern.

The next instant, the two appeared directly at the Divine Hall Headquarters of the Black Profound Race.

Having reached here, the Fire Spirit Hall Master finally sighed with relief.

Brother Cheng, being restrained by him, also felt somewhat reassured.

Soon, the Black Profound Hall Master and other Palace Masters and Protectors rushed over upon hearing the news.

Seeing Jiang Cheng, they all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, this genius of Purple Gold's Profound Pattern has fallen into our hands!"

"The Great Hall Master is wise, destroying the greatest hope of the White Profound Race ahead of time."

"This action removes the threat for our Black Profound Race, beneficial for the future!"

In their eyes, the unrivaled genius of the White Profound Race would eventually grow to become the Black Profound Race's number one enemy.

Thus, some Palace Masters and Protectors immediately shouted to kill Brother Cheng.

"Quickly deal with him!"

"Yes, yes, to avoid future troubles!"

Yet, the Black Profound Hall Master stroke his beard and said calmly, "Dealing with him is a must, but this child still has some utility value."

"I've already ordered people to send messages to the White Profound Race, telling them Jiang Cheng is in our hands!"

"What?"

Other Palace Masters suddenly didn't understand.

"Why inform them?"

"Yeah, won't that make them come to fight?"

The Black Profound Hall Master glanced at them sideways, "Your perspectives are too short-sighted, can't you see this is a great opportunity to further weaken the White Profound Race?"

"We're already enemies with them."

"Even if not informing them, wouldn't they still suspect us, the Black Profound Race?"

"Rather than that, announce it openly, taking advantage to demand a substantial amount of treasures for the ransom!"
