Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 388 Evil Eye Baphomet

We did indeed consider surrendering!

Although no one says it directly, many people think this way in private.

Those who can become candidates are already considered prominent figures in the Tianjiu Secret Realm.

Surrendering in public before the battle even begins reveals a weak and cowardly side, and this is not just a matter of saving face.

It also involves many practical interests and one's reputation within the family, so it's not a decision to be made lightly.

The Six-Eyed Cheetah and the Strange Crocodile are the best candidates on the planet Manyin.

Seeing that the demons present had no morale, they also felt it was very troublesome.

The strange crocodile said irritably:

"The other dozen or so guys have already decided to concede defeat before the battle."

"You've all come here for a meeting, surely not just to collectively surrender?"

The remaining demons all looked conflicted, unable to make up their minds.

The Six-Eyed Cheetah, observing the other candidates' lack of interest, spoke up:

"This time, the ethnic group offered very high-quality rewards."

Many members of the royal family wanted to compete for it, and I was no exception.

If everyone is willing to help weaken Whiteledo's strength, I will definitely reward you handsomely.

After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent; no one was willing to respond.

After a long while, a red-eyed demon, over twenty meters tall and resembling a standing goat, spoke:

"Dietrich, what benefits can you offer?"

I'm all alone, so if your reward is good enough...

I could consider it.

The six-eyed cheetah was secretly delighted. He wasn't afraid that these guys would ask for a high price; he was just afraid that they wouldn't listen to reason.

He quickly said:

"My family is in the Central Star Region. You can make any requests you have."

The red-eyed goat laughed and said, "Then I want a priceless treasure. Can you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Dietrich immediately flew into a rage and cursed:

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

The entire venue was filled with gloating laughter.

A priceless treasure!? This goat really dares to ask for it!

The red-eyed goat chuckled and said, "So, see for yourself."

You absolutely cannot produce truly good stuff.

If you really want everyone to work hard, then show some sincerity!

Don't make us bring it up!

Upon hearing this, the demons present cheered even more.

Even those who wouldn't dare to face Bai Yang at all would find it worthwhile to witness Dietero's humiliation.

Dietrich was annoyed to see the situation getting out of control, but couldn't think of a solution.

The demon race is a group of people whose emotions far outweigh their rationality.

Although there are many demons here, there is no one who can make a final decision; they are just arguing amongst themselves.

Dietero was also helpless, as he, the strange crocodile, and the red-eyed goat were the strongest among these demons.

However, the gap between them is not that big; otherwise, the single spot for the star region would have been decided long ago.

How can such a disorganized group fight against Whiteley?

The meeting lasted for several hours, but ended in discord.

Instead of working together, the demons saw through each other's hesitation and weakness, which strengthened their resolve to surrender before the battle.

Late that night, Bai Yang and his group's spaceship landed on Manyin Star.

They originally planned to issue a formal challenge the following day.

To everyone's surprise, the spaceship had only just landed.

Bai Yang received more than twenty emails demanding that he voluntarily admit defeat.

This even included the red-eyed goat Rigot, a demon who had even requested to join the Baiyang family lineage.

He found the guy's peak Domain Lord level cultivation and his identity as an illegitimate son of a royal family rather intriguing.

Spencer exclaimed with delight, "Master! What a great opportunity!"

As a royal family, how could they not have royal vassals?

I think this Rigault is actually quite sincere.

Bai Yang didn't respond, but instead asked Xing Shou to check the information and learn about this guy's past.

"A lone wolf? Never been involved in the human breeding business before?"

That's something we could consider.

Let's meet then.

The Abyss clone gently clicked on the contact information in the email, and his consciousness instantly connected to a virtual network.

Bai Yang's enormous spatial clone appeared here.

A red-eyed goat, dressed in a white robe, bowed to him in a seemingly respectful manner.

He also wore a pair of frameless glasses on the bridge of his nose, giving him a refined and aristocratic air.

"Lord Whiteleydo, hello!"

I am Rigault.

Bai Yang glanced at him only once before praising him:

"You have a very strong bloodline. Are you a direct descendant of the Baphomet clan?"

Rigot was overjoyed; the other party had actually seen through his true race at a glance!

That means you truly accept the strength of your bloodline!

His face was beaming with joy as he said:

"That's right! I do come from this clan."

"It is my honor to have gained the recognition of the royal family."

Bai Yang nodded approvingly:

"The Evil Eye Baphomet, as a hidden royal family, is one of the top fifty powerful clans."

You're just in time to take one of my moves.

Without waiting for the other party's reply, he lashed out at him with his tail!

Rigault was not angry but pleased; Whiteley's character is one of leaving no survivors.

This battle in the virtual network actually proved that he had no intention of killing.

There will definitely be challenges if I want to join this emerging family lineage.

With a roar, he instantly transformed from a height of over twenty meters into a colossal beast nearly five kilometers tall.

Moreover, he did not overestimate himself and chose to confront Bai Yang head-on, but instead transformed himself into a wisp of wind.

Bai Yang lashed out with his tail, instantly blasting towards the opposite side like a vacuum cannon.

Before this, not a single demon could withstand his attack; they were all reduced to a pile of minced meat.

But this time, an unexpected event occurred.

Thump!

After a loud bang in the air, Rigold's body, which was clearly transformed into wind elemental, was pierced through most of the way by an air cannon.

He could no longer maintain this form and reverted to his flesh and blood body.

His entire right shoulder and abdomen looked as if a large chunk had been cut away.

If it weren't for luck that the life core wasn't here, he would have died on the spot.

Moreover, this in itself is a potentially fatal injury.

Even the strongest domain lord would need at least ten seconds to recover from such a large amount of physical damage.

That's enough time for the opponent to find the life core and kill him thousands of times over!

Bai Yang glanced at his pitiful appearance and praised him:

"The intangible mystery of the wind element's laws?"

"You have indeed inherited the talents of the Baphomet clan, very good."

Rigault, his face covered in sweat from the pain, humbly asked:

"Then Sir...?"

Bai Yang nodded casually and said:

"From now on, get to work properly."

"Now I grant you permission to heal your body."

A white light flashed across Rigault's body, instantly "refreshing" his physical condition and relieving his pain.

Then he bowed to Bai Yang again and said:

"Master of the family!"

Bai Yang glanced at him and said:

"You'll accept the other candidates' surrenders tomorrow and help me secure the spot, right?"

"Your will is my command!"
