Chapter 929 The last bargaining chip

In Meng Zhe's opinion, this small barrier in front of him naturally couldn't stop him, the White Tiger Lord. However, he was very curious about one thing, that is, this old ghost Duan Tiande didn't think about how to escape at this moment, but chose to hide in this barrier. Was he too confident? Or was he really injured to the extent that he couldn't even move a step?

At the same time, Duan Tiande in the barrier had actually sensed Meng Zhe's presence. The aura of the other party, neither human nor ghost, made him realize that he might have really met a tough guy this time. Thinking of this, Duan Tiande looked at Deng Yaohui and said, "Do you... know those people who want to arrest me? Especially a man named Song Jiang."

Deng Yaohui smiled and said, "I do know them... but we are not familiar with them, so I don't know their origins or backgrounds. However, from the first day I met these people, I understood one thing, that is, I must not make enemies with them, otherwise I will be the one who dies."

Duan Tiande frowned, analyzing in his mind how much of what Deng Yaohui said was true and how much was false? At the same time, he couldn't figure out who the other party was? Why did he have to make things difficult for him? His only rival in the world should still be trapped in the enchantment of Que'ergou. Apart from him, there should be no one else who would fight him to the death... Moreover, Duan Tiande had always been low-key in his conduct and never easily made enemies over the years. How come a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wanted to kill him today?

"Song Jiang..." Duan Tiande softly muttered the name he heard from Alice, thinking that this man named Song Jiang should be of average ability, otherwise Alice would not treat him as a toy. Also, Alice mentioned that there was a very powerful guy next to him, so powerful that even a red-eyed ghost of Alice's level did not dare to offend him easily.

  When he thought of Alice, Duan Tiande was even more angry. The other party knew to use the ghost boy to trap him, which obviously knew his origins. This made him doubt the evil ghost who revealed the information to him. But this evil ghost was one of the more than 400 evil ghosts he brought out from the hell. Logically, he shouldn't betray him easily, right? ! And the young man he saw at the auction before, why did he look at him with a familiar look?

Seeing that the flesh on Duan Tiande's face had turned white, Deng Yaohui kindly said to him, "Are you really not going to save this body? After all, you have been Duan Tiande for so many years, at least you should give him a decent death. Besides, Mr. Duan should have a lot of wealth, and it would be a great relief for others if he died suddenly like this."

How could Duan Tiande not understand this? But his primary concern now was not whether he could be Duan Tiande again, but whether he could have a chance to be a human being again? ! He originally thought that Deng Yaohui was his way out, but he found out that the other party was not a good person either. Even if they fought to the death, they could not take his body away... Leaving him in the barrier was nothing more than hoping to use him as a hostage in the end.

Thinking of this, Duan Tiande asked in a deep voice, "I think Mr. Deng is not from the Xuanmen sect. He must have received help from a master to be able to possess someone else's body, right?"

Deng Yaohui did not deny it, nodded and said, "Indeed... I am just a businessman, I am greedy for the empire I have built, so I have lived on for another life. The experts said that even if my situation is known to the underworld one day, it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. If I manage things well, no one will bother me anymore. But I see that your situation doesn't seem to be that simple, brother Duan. If you can, then leave."

Duan Tiande smiled bitterly and said, "If you can leave, leave... It's easy to say. If I hadn't set up this barrier, I'm afraid I would have been found by the other party long ago. But what is coming will eventually come. Mr. Deng, I'm afraid I will offend you in a while."

At this time, Meng Zhe was 100% sure that Duan Tiande was in the barrier, so he turned around and said to Song Jiang, "Call Gu Hao and tell him that we found the old ghost. Let him come down and clean up the mess himself. I will not let him have a good ending."

Song Jiang knew that Meng Zhe always said one thing and meant another. Although he said that he would not help Gu Hao deal with the aftermath, he actually understood that this matter had to be handled by Gu Hao himself, otherwise it would be difficult for him to let go of the guilt in the future. Thinking of this, Song Jiang sighed and said, "Okay, okay, okay... I'll fight right away, but you have to at least open this barrier, right? I don't know if Alice and Deng Yaohui are in there too?" Meng Zhe raised his eyelids and said, "I don't know if Deng Yaohui is here, but Alice is definitely not here..." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and ripples immediately appeared in the air, and then a door appeared out of thin air where the oil painting was originally hung in the corridor...

After the barrier was broken, Duan Tiande immediately tensed up all over. He raised his hand and pulled Deng Yaohui to his side, then pinched his neck and stared at the door, fearing that a strong enemy would break in from outside the door in the next second... Who knew that he waited for a long time but there was no movement from the person outside the door, until he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, the office door was heavily slammed open by an external force.

When Gu Hao saw Duan Tiande's current condition, he was secretly surprised and realized that the other person's face must be Alice's masterpiece. When Song Jiang and Deng Kai, who came in later, saw Duan Tiande's face, they instantly felt nauseous. After all, no normal person could look at this bloody face calmly.

Deng Kai felt relieved when he saw that Deng Yaohui was fine, and asked softly, "Brother...are you okay?"

Deng Yaohui is indeed an old man who has seen many storms. Although he is the one being held hostage at this moment, he still calmly comforts the panicked Deng Kai and says, "Brother, I'm fine... Don't worry. I am Mr. Duan's last bargaining chip now. I believe Mr. Duan will not hurt me easily."

At this moment, Duan Tiande had no time to watch Deng Kai and the other two being so friendly and respectful to each other. Instead, he looked up at Song Jiang and the others and asked in a deep voice, "I don't think I have ever met you, let alone have any grudges against you. I wonder why you want to kill us all today?"

Gu Hao heard this and said coldly, "Old ghost... you still don't know who I am?"

Duan Tiande's expression changed after hearing this. He said in astonishment, "It's you...? Impossible! With your level of skill, it's impossible for you to get out of that barrier!! How could it be you!?"

Facing Duan Tiande's three questions, Gu Hao laughed and said, "Why can't it be me? There is a saying that goes, 'A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few.' You have been in the world for so many years, have you made a few true friends? Is there anyone who would save you from danger at the critical moment of life and death? It's nothing but intrigue and mutual exploitation."
