Chapter 153: Casting a Wide Net and Waiting for Fish!

  The Fourth Volume of Iron Clouds Filling the Sky Chapter 153 Casting a Wide Net and Waiting for Fish!

  "This, it's hard to say..." Chu Yang said with great difficulty: "You know, Iron Cloud City has tens of millions of people, and five major districts. The noble residential areas are relatively easy to manage, but the poor districts are like a bottomless pit. Even if a thousand people go in, it would be like fish returning to the ocean or tigers entering a deep forest. To find them... I'm afraid we'd need to mobilize the entire city, with both military and civilians taking action, conducting a blanket search. The manpower and resources required would be astronomical..."

  "If we can find this person, I, Chu Yu Zuo, can represent the Black Magic Family and grant you a request!" The Sword King hastily interrupted him. If he let Chu Yu Zuo continue speaking, the entire Black Magic Family would have to do hard labor to repay this debt... "Ah, senior, your words are unjust, how could junior be someone who repays kindness with malice?" Chu Yang said discontentedly: "This remark is too belittling of me."

  The Knife King's heart was filled with indignation, thinking to himself, "You've already opened your mouth as wide as a lion's, yet you're still not someone who repays kindness with ingratitude..." Chu Yanwang's eyes rolled once, and he immediately changed the subject, putting on a serious face: "However, my Iron Cloud is currently plagued by internal and external troubles, really in a precarious situation; the Golden Horse Knights' Hall of Great Zhao is eyeing me greedily, and they have a top-notch expert stationed there... this is going to be very difficult..."

  "Are you asking us to help you deal with the Golden Horse Riders' Hall?" The Knife King was shocked and said, "This is not acceptable!" He felt a bit bitter in his heart; this guy's previous sentence was still righteous and powerful, but his next sentence immediately started complaining.

  "No, no, no. It's not that simple." Chu Yu Zuo said with a deep and calculating tone: "However, in the recent period of time, the Golden Horse Knights will definitely take action against me, the Tian Xuan Pavilion. There won't be many people coming over, at most only ten or so. Senior, you just need to help me deal with these people."

  "There are only a dozen or so people... it's almost manageable." The Sword King thought for a moment and felt that this was feasible. If killing a dozen ordinary officials, or general masters, could exchange for the life of a Mo family throne, then this deal was very doable.

  "So, Senior has agreed?" Chu Yuze hammered while the iron was hot, and he had to nail down this matter.

  "Alright!" The Sword King thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.

  "Senior is truly great in benevolence and righteousness! Saving countless people from water and fire, turning back the crazy waves that were about to collapse; with a high sense of justice, chivalrous and righteous, Chu Mou pays respects without end! The six million people of Tieyun are all grateful for your great virtue!" Chu Yu's throne was somewhat moved to tears. Ah, I've been worried about this for so long, now it's finally resolved... "Hmm, you can rest assured! Although we can't help you directly deal with the entire Golden Horse Knights' Hall, if they send people here, I guarantee: let them come and go as they please! One person comes, one person dies; two people come, two people die!" Dao Wang said generously.

  Chu Yang burst out laughing and said, "Exactly! Senior's divine might is unparalleled, even if hundreds of Golden Horse Riders came, they would only end up with hundreds more spirit plaques!"

  "Hundreds of people? Didn't you just say a dozen or so?" The Sword King frowned.

  "The lower official said... this batch of people..." Chu Yang let out a long sigh: "Who knows if they'll come one by one, or ten at a time, or even hundreds at once... it's hard to calculate."

  The Knife King was furious! Just now, this guy said there were 'only a dozen or so people' on top of the sky, but in just the blink of an eye, he added ten times as many... and still didn't give a fixed number.

  Is this still a human mouth? The upper and lower lips are flipped, and anything can be said. One moment it was black, the next it was snow white... No wonder others can become officials at a young age, and even sit on the throne, just this mouth alone is enough to make someone a prime minister!

  Dào Wáng left Bǔ Tiān Gé at that time, almost escaping. His face was ashen!

  I'll never deal with Chu Yan Wang again after this transaction! He's too deceitful!

  In Chu Yu Zuo's mouth, everything is reasonable and lawful; he first touted himself as a heroic knight of great benevolence and righteousness; in the midst of praise and flattery. But after a while, you'll find that what he's actually praising is himself... At first, I only agreed to one thing with him, but somehow later on, I ended up agreeing to several more things through his clever twists and turns... Especially that last sentence: "Don't worry, Blade King! This matter, although we are weak and powerless, for the sake of Sword King, I'd be willing to sacrifice my life, go through fire and water, and die a thousand deaths without regret! What reward is needed? What conditions need to be exchanged? Not only does this belittle me, but it also insults you, Senior! You say so, don't you? We're like two old friends who've known each other for years... Who's on whose side, anyway?"

  Chu Yanwang patted his chest with a good brotherly appearance, and Dao Wang's legs were cramping. Isn't this already a condition swap?

  Finally, Chu Yan Wang's one sentence made Knife King flee in a hurry: "...right, there is still something that really makes me worried..."

  He hadn't even finished speaking when the Knife King hastily stood up to bid farewell...Damn it, you've mentioned seven or eight things that have been troubling you, and I've solved them all for you. Now you're still troubled by something else...You're not done yet...Chu Yang finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  Got it!

  But this matter is not over yet. There will be a follow-up; since such a big pie fell from the sky, I must catch it myself.

  Next, Chu Yang went to the Great Prison; the defenses of the Great Prison were the most stringent in history since the founding of Iron Cloud Nation! But Chu Yang still felt it was not enough.

  Frowning, he went in and after seeing the arrangement of some traps, Chu Yuze was furious, grabbing a few people in charge here and scolding them loudly: "This is called a trap? You are not even qualified to be hunters catching rabbits!"

  Scolded several martial arts masters, scolding with gritted teeth and bulging veins.

  In the eyes of Chu Yan Wang, these traps are obvious at a glance and can't deceive anyone. Moreover, their power is too small to trap an expert... In short, there are problems everywhere.

  One of them was borrowed from the Crown Prince's mansion, and actually retorted: "We can't arrange it well, you come? Doing nothing, just talking with your mouth, who can't do that?"

  Chu Yang gave him a cold glance and said, "Watch!"

  He said it and did it, then he took the initiative to handle the trap, remove the camouflage on top, and apply a large amount of deadly poison to the blade below. Then, he poured water in, only revealing the tip of the knife. He also sprinkled soul-stirring medicine into the water. With a swoosh, he pulled over several branches, propping up the surface. He brought over several fallen leaves, and with a wave of his hand, rolled up a piece of floating soil, lightly covering it on top. Slowly, he stepped forward, leaving an almost imperceptible footprint... Then, he set up a secret device above, ensuring that when someone triggers the trap, the roof above would suddenly collapse, and inside, soul-stirring smoke, poison powder, and other things were not enough, as ten powerful crossbow mechanisms were also installed on the roof... Moreover, in all directions, east, south, west, and north, many more vicious designs were added. In short, this trap was almost a collection of all the most sinister designs from ancient times to the present!

  The most absurd thing is that it's full of... According to Chu Yu Zuo, once one's power reaches the level of Wu Zun or above, things like scattered powder and soul-drugging medicine don't work anymore. But **it** is something that even a high-ranking master cannot resolve with just one move... Everyone thinks about those enemies who fell into the trap, their lower body bulging, their faces flushed red, their eyes full of desire, and they can't help but shiver with excitement.

  Finally, Chu Yanwang said regretfully: "Alas, it's a pity that the time can't be fixed. Otherwise, I could have arranged for several barrels of boiling oil to be poured down, and since the weather is cold, I could have also arranged for several poisonous snakes and insects..."

  Everyone collapses together!

  Everyone already thought it was excessive, yet in Chu Yan Wang's eyes, it still wasn't perfect... Everything was done, and Chu Yang asked lightly: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this trap?"

  "Satisfied, extremely satisfied." A group of experts nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and their eyes, looking at this Chu Yu Zuo, were also filled with apprehension. Not just satisfied? Extremely terrified!

  "We can't let it fall into his hands, or else it's a fate worse than death......" "What's your name?" Chu Yang glared at the martial arts master who still looked somewhat defiant.

  "Gu Shao Bo!" The martial arts master said calmly: "What advice does Chu Yu Zuo have?"

  "I don't dare accept your instruction, but you can go back to the prince's side now." Chu Yang said coldly: "By the way, tell the prince that his people are of no use to me."

  "What?" Ku Shaobo was startled.

  "You heard it very clearly, didn't mishear." Chu Yang said coldly: "I don't want to see you again! That's how it is."

  "Why? Can't you give me a reason?" Qu Shao-bo asked with wide eyes. He was getting anxious, if he were to be sent back like this, he would definitely not get any good treatment from Tie Bu-tian.

  "I want to use people, I need obedience! For some disobedient and resentful bastards, I have never tolerated them!" Chu Yang said calmly: "And you, dare to defy me, question me! So, I don't need you!"

  "Would you rather have some yes-men pigs than a master?" Qu Shao-bo was furious and spoke without thinking. As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area was filled with angry glares.

  "Wrong, I'd rather have some mediocre people than a pig-headed one!" Chu Yang said ruthlessly: "Now, get out of here immediately! If you dare to say another word, I'll kill you without mercy!"

  Qiu Shaobo's chest heaved with agitation, his eyes slowly turning red. He knew very clearly that if he left, Iron Cloud's future would be completely ruined!

  "You... Chu Yanwang, don't be too arrogant!" Qu Shao Bo stared at Chu Yang: "You will regret it!"

  "Kill!" Chu Yang gave the order without hesitation: "Those who shrink back and do not advance will be punished for the same crime, and their entire clan will be implicated!" Since this person does not obey, it is only fitting to use him as an example of authority, and let others see that even if someone is under the Crown Prince's command, when I, Chu Yanwang, say kill, they will be killed!

  Who would dare to disobey from now on? This is a model! Moreover, at this critical moment, the attitude of anyone is related to the success or failure of this major event. How could Chu Yang let such a person stay here?

  Can't keep it, can't release it, have to kill it!

  Chu Yang may have been soft-hearted at times, but he had never been soft-handed!
