Chapter 967: Chapter 967: Lone Defeat of Heavenly Participant in Battle

Xiao Zheng was a bit dissatisfied with Zhu Chanji’s proposal to support only three thousand people from Sky Net. He furrowed his brows and said nothing.

"Haha."

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s expression, Zhu Chanji showed no sign of embarrassment; instead, he laughed confidently.

"Evil God, believe me, these three thousand people are absolutely worth it. Because their leader is... Dugu Baitian!" Zhu Chanji uttered these words.

Xiao Zheng was stunned and then exclaimed joyfully, "Are you saying that Dugu Baitian will also join this war?"

Dugu Baitian, like Xiao Zheng, was a young king who had reached the status of a quasi-Martial Saint, and he even concealed some of his true strength, which was unfathomable.

Such a person could not be measured in numbers. At critical moments, he could even change the tide of battle and reverse the overall situation.

Zhu Chanji said with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn’t deceive you. Since I chose to cooperate with your Sky Net, I naturally have to show enough sincerity."

Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "I’ve seen your sincerity, and I can guarantee here that Sky Net will be Futu’s most loyal partner in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhu Chanji was a bit moved. As a leader, some words cannot be spoken lightly, because once said, one has to be responsible, and going back on one’s words would damage one’s credibility. Since Xiao Zheng dared to make such a statement, it shows that he would truly act according to it.

"May we have a pleasant cooperation!"

Zhu Chanji stood up and extended his hand to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and firmly shook hands with Zhu Chanji.

Then, both of them sat down again. Xiao Zheng said, "Since you’ve decided to join the war, our intelligence naturally needs to be shared. These past few days, I have swept through several Demon Shield Bureau bases and obtained some very important intelligence."

Zhu Chanji asked curiously, "What intelligence?"

Anything that makes Xiao Zheng treat it so seriously is definitely not ordinary.

Xiao Zheng said, "Before preparing for the final battle, the Demon Shield Bureau took many actions, one of which was to draw a large number of materials from various branches into headquarters. According to my observations, the custom steel alloy components, Dragon Glue, and others they drew are very likely for making strong bows and other cold weapons!"

"Really?" Zhu Chanji said in surprise, "You have Kun Gu Ni’er, and high-tech weapons have lost their effect, so the Demon Shield Bureau started targeting cold weapons? Given the foundation and level of the Demon Shield Bureau, the bows and arrows they make will surely be amazing!"

Xiao Zheng’s face showed a worried expression, and he said, "That’s what I’m worried about. If, by the time the final battle comes, the Demon Shield Bureau launches Ten Thousand Arrows, it will definitely cause a significant number of casualties for our Sky Net."

Hearing this, Zhu Chanji fell silent as well. This issue was indeed quite tricky. Suddenly, Zhu Chanji thought of something and said, "Evil God, do you remember the fierce battle with Hozon in Southeast Asia?"

"Hozon?" Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this name. It felt so distant, like it was when he had just returned to Zhonghai and encountered a major foe. However, for Xiao Zheng, that so-called major foe wasn’t worth mentioning.

The only thing worth recalling was that Hozon used some tactics to kill a few Sky Net warriors. That too was partly due to Xiao Zheng’s negligence.

"Back then, while you were fighting Hozon, he used a very ancient defense weapon, the Southern Barbarian Vine Armor! This was an elite armor, invulnerable to blades and spears, created during the times when Zhuge Kongming captured Meng Huo seven times from those Southern Barbarian Tribes!" Zhu Chanji said excitedly, "Due to the presence of the long spear Kun Gu Ni’er, the upcoming battle will surely be a cold weapon showdown. If all the warriors could wear such armor, it would definitely withstand the Demon Shield Bureau’s onslaught."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng gave Zhu Chanji a half-smiling glance and didn’t respond directly. Instead, he said, "It seems the chief knows all about my affairs. You’re very familiar with my battles in Southeast Asia."

Zhu Chanji was stunned for a moment, then gave a few dry laughs and said, "Forgive me, Evil God. Haha, although our relationship is good, at first, we didn’t know you well. With such an esteemed figure like the Sky Net leader returning to Zhonghai, naturally, we had to keep an eye on things."

Futu is like the guardian deity of Hua Country, and one of its important responsibilities is to prevent various martial arts forces and major forces that transcend secular limits from disrupting the normal order.

If there were no such organization, Hua Country would have long descended into chaos. When martial arts forces and major forces started fighting ordinary people, where would common folk have any chance?

The entire Hua Country would be divided by these large and small forces, and ordinary people would live in misery and suffering.

So after Xiao Zheng returned to Zhonghai, Futu closely monitored him, fearing he might stir up trouble.

Fortunately, after returning to Zhonghai, although Xiao Zheng caused some stir, it was within the manageable range and didn’t cross any lines. Moreover, he had a lot of cooperation with Futu, bringing great benefits to them. Gradually, Futu didn’t regulate Xiao Zheng as much.

"That, I can understand," Xiao Zheng said with a smile after hearing Zhu Chanji’s explanation, although a cold glint still flashed in his eyes, "But I’m still a bit angry."

"You really are a cunning person," Zhu Chanji said with a bitter smile. He had lived this long; even without eyelashes, he could see Xiao Zheng’s intentions clearly.

"For your Sky Net’s aid, I’m willing to add another two thousand people, bringing the total to five thousand," Zhu Chanji said solemnly. "Moreover, we at Futu will also be responsible for acquiring the Southern Barbarian Vine Armor needed in battle."

Xiao Zheng immediately grinned and said, "Chief, you’re indeed a smart man."

Zhu Chanji shook his head, "Smart? Compared to you, I’m not even a single hair."

This conversation was originally within normal limits. But Xiao Zheng suddenly and keenly caught a flaw, then knocked a lot of benefits from Futu with it. Such sharpness and cunning are beyond ordinary people.

Of course, Zhu Chanji fully acknowledged this. Because for prominent figures like Xiao Zheng, monitoring them is extremely offensive, and those with a volatile temper might even start a fight with Futu!

Xiao Zheng merely asked Zhu Chanji for some war assistance without saying much else, which was already quite magnanimous.
