Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal
Chapter 939 - 408: Contract Dispute! The Five Diamond Vajras
Near the territory of the Celestial Court.
Wei He and the four others looked at the people ahead, waiting for their decision.
Yi Qianxi was uncertain, feeling somewhat tempted.
At this moment, Zhang Wei, who was standing by, was getting a bit upset!
"Boss Yi Qianxi, no matter what they say, I still think signing the Lord-Vassal Contract is unreasonable! It's fine if they want us to join the Celestial Court, but we absolutely cannot sign this contract!"
Zhang Wei's tone was firm!
He was also one of the core members of this team, and his words carried some weight.
"This..."
Yi Qianxi hesitated at that moment.
The others murmured in agreement, with many feeling that the contract shouldn't be signed.
Before Wei He could speak, Cao Li, who had been silent, began to get a bit displeased!
"Let me tell you the truth! Not just anyone is qualified to join our Celestial Court! His Majesty is willing to take you in only because you're his compatriots, otherwise, people from other countries wouldn't even have the chance to join us!"
"Once you join our Celestial Court, you'll gain great benefits. First, the immense Gui Cang Divine Pavilion of our Celestial Court will be open to you, allowing you to rapidly increase your strength."
"Secondly, after joining us, once this second round of the power struggle is over, you'll become members of the Heaven-Suppressing Force, the sole victors of the second round, and you'll reap enormous benefits."
"Conversely, if you don't join the Celestial Court, you'll become the losers of this second round, with the Celestial Punishment Curse upon you! You might even die!"
"That's why our Majesty thought of recruiting compatriots, to save you from the curse. You don't show gratitude, and yet you nitpick!"
"In reality, with your current strength, joining the Celestial Court would only be a burden to us, with no significant contributions at all!"
Cao Li's words made several disciples of the Celestial Court nod repeatedly.
But Yi Qianxi and the others were immediately infuriated.
Each one of them was fuming!
This guy claimed that the Celestial Court recruiting them was a favor to them!
And that their joining was just to hold them back!
Wasn't this looking down on them too much!
Right then, Zhang Wei sneered, "You say we'd hold you back? That's laughable! Say no more, just our big brother Yi Qianxi's strength is stronger than the five of you combined! Please, is that what you call holding back?"
No sooner than he finished speaking, everyone chimed in.
"Utterly arrogant! Our big brother Yi Qianxi is a 3A Talent powerhouse, none of you can match him, so on what grounds do you say we'd hold you back?"
"Exactly! At the very least, our big brother is no burden!"
"Brother Yi Qianxi, go challenge one of them to a duel and show them your prowess!"
At this moment, everyone was filled with indignation.
Yi Qianxi was also boiling with anger.
Right then, he said, "Gentlemen! We're all compatriots, so we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves! However, the facts must be clarified. Although I'm at the Profound Tier Realm, my overall strength is comparable to the Earth Tier Third Realm."
"Could you please tell me how my strength compares with the five of you? How does it compare with your leaders in the Celestial Court?"
Yi Qianxi steadily questioned, each word resounding forcefully.
He slightly lifted his chin and looked proudly at Wei He and the four others.
In his view, once Wei He and the others learned that he had the strength of the Earth Tier Third Realm, they'd surely be shocked and look at him differently, possibly even apologizing for their earlier remarks.
Unexpectedly, once Wei He and the four others heard him, they glanced at each other with peculiar expressions.
Earth Tier Third Realm, huh!
That level of burden is quite severe!
Forget Earth Tier Third Realm, even the Sixth Realm makes them feel a bit disinterested!
However, compatriots!
They still needed to take care of them!
But if they didn't show the true strength of the Celestial Court, these compatriots might continue to misunderstand them.
It seemed time to reveal the truth!
Perhaps once they knew the truth, they'd willingly defect to the Celestial Court.
With this thought, Wei He and the others shared looks, contemplating how to demonstrate their power.
Just then, a commotion arose from the west.
Everyone was startled and looked over to see a group of Western White People charging fiercely towards them.
That group numbered over five thousand!
Yi Qianxi and the others saw this and their expressions drastically changed.
"Oh no! It's the Hundred Coloured People, Curry People, and Stick People coming!"
"Darn it! They're definitely targeting the Celestial Court! Everyone, form up! We can't let them set foot into the territory!"
"Also, you five hurry back to the territory to call for reinforcements!"
"Exactly! What are you five waiting for? Go call for reinforcements now! We'll help hold them off for a while!"
At this moment, Yi Qianxi, Zhang Wei, and the others urgently pressed Wei He and the others to return to the base for backup.
Seeing this, Wei He and the four others were touched.
Even with the previous argument, at this crucial moment, the Hua Country People still stood together.
"What's wrong with you five? Quickly, go call for reinforcements!"
Zhang Wei, whose temper was flaring, was now hopping with impatience as Wei He and the others remained motionless.
At this moment, Wei He spoke: "This entire territory, everyone stationed here is already present, where would we call for reinforcements?"
"What?!"
These words left Yi Qianxi and the others dumbfounded, their mouths agape!
They couldn't believe their ears!
This vast territory, guarded by only five people?
At that moment, Wei He and the others looked eagerly at the Hundred Coloured People, Curry People, and Stick People.
They were just distressed about how to show these compatriots the true power of the Celestial Court.
Now, a solution had presented itself!
These Hundred Coloured People, and their minions, had delivered themselves to the doorstep.
