Chapter 261 Decoy
Yan Jie sighed and said, "Use the seven of us as bait to lure the Demon Lord out!"
"What?!"
Ye Feng and Hua Yu exclaimed again, Hua Yu's face was pale and asked, "Let us seven go and lead the Demon Lord? Isn't this let us die?"
Seeing that Hua Yu and Ye Feng showed an angry look, Yan Jie said, "What else do you have to worry about? Am I here too? Even if I want to die, I will be the first one. As long as I am still alive, you don't have to worry."
Yan Jie's words were clearly using Chen Mi as a shield. In fact, it was Yan Jie's own idea to go out of the city to seduce the Demon Lord. Moreover, even the fact that Chen Mi had a trump card to deal with the Demon Lord was just a guess.
However, with Yan Jie's style of conduct, he felt that this matter was 80% sure and it was worth a try, so he volunteered to lead seven people out of the city to investigate.
However, if Ye Feng and Hua Yu knew that this was entirely due to Yan Jie's idea, they were afraid that they would turn against him immediately. In order to shock the two of them, Yan Jie had to pull Chen Mi out and said, "This matter is all Chen Mi's idea. When I was the supervisor, he had already given me instructions in advance. If you refuse to obey the order, then you will simply get rid of you together. There are too many casual cultivators in the supervisory department, which is already enough to upset him. If everyone does not obey the order, it would be better to kill a warning to him. Perhaps the remaining people can play a role in the next battle!"
Yan Jie said this completely in a tone of Chenmi. Ye Feng and Hua Yu had met Chenmi, so he had no doubt at all.
In fact, no one would believe that Yan Jie would take the initiative to make such a request. Who would have thought that there would be cultivators in this world who are not afraid of death?
When Ye Feng heard this, he waved the long sword in his hand, and a sword light flashed. A big tree in front of him was immediately cut off and slowly fell to the ground.
His sword was furious, and the sword energy was condensed but not exposed, and its power was hidden but not revealed. After cutting off the giant tree, the power of the sword light disappeared and no waste of magic power wasted.
Obviously, Ye Feng's swordsmanship has been practiced to an extremely high level, allowing him to instinctively control the power of his swordsmanship when he is angry without having any unnecessary impact.
Yan Jie secretly praised in his heart, saying that he is worthy of being a sword cultivator. If Zhang Shijie had half of this guy's ability, he would probably leave sideways!
At this time, Hua Yu's face was ashen and her beautiful face was full of anger, but she restrained herself and did not show it like Ye Feng.
Yan Jie sighed, secretly glad that he had pulled Chen Mi and then used it as a shield. Otherwise, Ye Feng's sword just now would have stabbed him.
Fortunately, Ye Feng and Hua Yu are both calm and restrained people, not as irritable as Ling Sanniang and Huang Pao. It is precisely because of this that Yan Jie chose to explain the matter to them first, so as not to cause unanimous attacks from others.
As expected, the two of them quickly got rid of their anger, looked at each other and asked Yan Jie: "Master Supervisor, does this mean we have no choice?"
Yan Jie nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, when we came out of Chuyue City, we had no choice but to complete the mission, and there was no other choice!"
Hua Yu frowned and asked, "Where is the teleportation array in the city?"
Ye Feng's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, aren't there any teleportation arrays in the city? As long as we choose to teleport back, will it be fine?"
I knew you would ask this!
Yan Jie smiled in his heart, but he looked sad and said, "How could Chenmi's calculation be so simple? The teleportation array was arranged by me personally, but Chenmi added some special rune modules to it. Without his permission, the teleportation array would not be activated at all."
"What?" Hua Yu's face changed and she asked, "Can't be activated? What does this mean?"
Yan Jie smiled and said, "The meaning is very simple: Chenmi will send people to track our every move at all times and make judgments by the people in the city. Only when facing huge dangers will the teleportation array in the city be activated. Otherwise, all seven of us will have to stay outside, and no one will return to Chuyue City."
"This is too cruel. Chen Mi's plan is clearly pushing us to death!" Ye Feng returned the sword to sheath, but his face was still a little gloomy.
Yan Jie sighed and turned to say, "However, Chen Mi is not an unreasonable person. If we participate in this mission, no matter whether we succeed or not, he will give you huge authority to get what you want from Tianji Sect. Of course, it is limited to foundation-building cultivators, and it cannot be higher! This is also the limit I can achieve!"
Yan Jie knew very well that the best effect can be achieved by using big sticks and sweet dates together. Therefore, after a bit of threat, he took out huge benefits and lured the two to take the bait.
Ye Feng and the other two were moved when they heard the conditions Yan Jie said.
In fact, the reason why the six people took huge risks to go out of the city to complete the task was not to go for the huge rewards behind the task? People died for money and birds died for food. If there is enough profit, the monks could risk their lives to complete some seemingly impossible tasks.
This is also the common reason for all adventurers throughout history.
Yan Jie's strategy of carrots and sticks successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of Ye Feng and Hua Yu, allowing them to quickly accept reality.
Hua Yu sighed and said, "It's over here, and it's useless for us to say anything more. Do you have any other plans to call us here?"
Yan Jie nodded and said, "The reason I asked about your spiritual consciousness just now is to determine the next target."
"Oh? Please give me instructions!"
Yan Jie glanced at the surrounding environment and said, "We are now entering Cangchu Ridge, and we don't really know the situation of the Demon Lord. Are they acting alone or cooperating with each other? Should they attack in formation or drive corpses to harass them? We don't know anything about life habits or fighting methods. Therefore, the best way is to explore on the spot to see if we can get some useful information."
"Did you want to take the opportunity to catch one or two live-action addresses so as to ask them some useful answers?" Ye Feng frowned and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. The subordinates of the Demon Lord are all dead and hard members. Once captured, they will keep silent. Even Lord Chen Mi, who is proficient in interrogation, will find it difficult for them to reveal the truth."
Yan Jie frowned and asked, "What if he uses soul searching?"
Hua Yu was shocked. Unexpectedly, Yan Jie looked harmless and actually spoke up as a vicious spell like Soul Search.
