Chapter 951: Fallacy (1)
Gong Qiang laughed softly. He was not anxious at all. He lifted his head and looked at Ji Fengyan. “Humans are so pitiful. Ji Fengyan, since you have the power, know that as a powerful person, your goal should be the highest position. The internal conflict within the Free Valley is nothing to you.” He raised his hand slightly. His gaze swept round the shelves that lined the room. The rows of shelves displayed his “collection” of many years.
“In the end, the Free Valley is nothing but a refuge for a group of pathetic worms. Chi Tong is nothing to me, much less Meng Fusheng. This place is merely for me to recuperate and build up my strength. Otherwise, why would I allow Fu Guang City and Yan Luo Dian to run amok under my nose?”
As he spoke, Gong Qiang darted his gaze to Ji Fengyan. A flame burned in his eyes.
“I can sense that your body has a very mysterious aura. I have never seen such an aura before. You are very powerful, more powerful than any adolescent girl I have seen before. I can help you reach your peak, and experience greater power than you have ever had before. Isn’t your single-minded desire to destroy my Zhai Xing Lou to gain more power within the Free Valley? I can give it to you. If you wish, I don’t mind even giving you Zhai Xing Lou. I can even help you acquire much more than that, much more than you can imagine.”
Gong Qiang voice was laced with temptation. He did not care at all about what happened within the Free Valley, or whether the others in Zhai Xing Lou lived or died. His goal had never been to put down roots within the Free Valley.
In fact, although Gong Qiang’s words were arrogant, they were true. With the power he possessed, he could easily deal with Yan Luo Dian and Fu Guang City. However, for many years, he had made no move. He was content with Zhai Xing Lou and did not wish to control the entire Free Valley.
In Gong Qiang’s eyes, the insignificant Free Valley was not his ultimate goal. What attracted him was the Forest of Freedom that hid innumerable ores and animal species.
Ji Fengyan looked coldly at Gong Qiang. She could not see any regret in Gong Qiang’s eyes, only a fanaticism towards gold cultivation that was so distorted, it approached perversion.
“Give me much more?” Ji Fengyan laughed softly. She lifted her chin slightly and said to Gong Qiang, “Make me like Gong Rui? Or like your daughters? Become a puppet of your gold cultivation?”
The fanaticism on Gong Qiang’s face lessened a little. He looked at Ji Fengyan with half-closed eyes.
“So you have seen Gong Rui.” He laughed softly and said, “You have much more apt.i.tude than Gong Rui. How could I treat you like that? Don’t worry, I will let you have much more.”
Ji Fengyan laughed coldly. “A pity that I’m not interested.”
Gong Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly. His shifty eyes swept across Ji Fengyan’s face.
“Ignorant. You don’t know the power of gold cultivation. I can easily awaken the giant soldier G.o.ds that others l.u.s.t for. Why begrudge a minor sacrifice, in order to obtain much more power?” Gong Qiang did not feel the slightest twinge of guilt over what he had done. To him, it was as it should be. “If not for me, Gong Rui, Gong Zhiyu and his brother, would all have died long ago. I gave them life. Of course they should make some minor sacrifices for my creations.”
