Chapter 123

Ba Chong didn't think that the Chenxiao Sect would send a Great Saint Master. He knew Yan Long, one of the top experts of the Chenxiao Sect. This time, they had left in a hurry. They had received news from the exploration team that they had found a natural rune fire zone in a new secret territory. Only one member of the exploration team had escaped, and they said that there was a Saint Master in the rune fire zone, but not a Great Saint Master. This made Ba Chong's judgment wrong. Only now did he know that the rune fire zone was discovered by the Chenxiao Sect first.

Ba Chong didn't give up. The natural rune fire zone was extremely precious. It was a necessity to ignite the soul fire. Even in a high rank continent, the discovery of such a rune fire would cause a fight.

"Hmph, let's go! Don't think that only your Chenxiao Sect has a Great Saint Master. We'll meet again soon! "

Ba Chong knew that he couldn't win if he fought now. Only by going back and asking the Saint Slaughter Mountain's Great Saint Master would they be able to compete with the Chenxiao Sect. Thus, he wisely wanted to retreat.

Yan Long's expression became serious. He said coldly, "You think you can come as you please? Leave as you please? How could there be such a good thing in this world! "How could he let his opponent go? He had to suppress him.

Ba Chong's expression changed. "What do you want?"

Yan Long said indifferently, "Nothing … I just want you to sign a rune agreement! Admit that this is the Chenxiao Sect's territory! With your status and identity, this agreement is binding enough. "

This was the first time Guo Shier had heard of a rune agreement. He asked in a low voice, "Madam, what is a rune agreement?"

Mo Nier smiled. "A rune agreement … is a rule made by the big sects to prevent large scale battles. It has a certain amount of binding power, but … in a situation where there's a huge difference in strength, a rune agreement is useless. Only a rune agreement signed by a sect with similar strength will be effective."

Ba Chong looked back at the crowd. He had brought a dozen Saint Masters and twenty Kuang Masters. In total, they only had forty professional fighters. On the other hand, other than a Great Saint Master, there were at least thirty Saint Masters. As for Kuang Masters and Great Masters, the two sides couldn't be compared at all. He couldn't help but curse the guy from the exploration team for saying that there were only a few Saint Masters.

"Impossible!" Ba Chong gritted his teeth.

Yan Long narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "The lives of over forty of you … are not even worth a rune agreement?" He bluntly threatened.

Ku Mu's mouth twitched. With his temper, he would've killed first. However, Yan Long was a Great Saint Master, so it wouldn't be good for him to make the first move. He could only patiently stand to the side, feeling extremely displeased.

This threat was no small matter. It must be known that the Sacred Masters were the highest existences in the sect. Once Yan Long seized the opportunity and killed them, the Saint Slaughter Mountain's strength would be greatly weakened.

Guo Shier understood that the fight might not happen. With a super expert like Yan Long around, the deterrence was too great. No matter how arrogant the Saint Slaughtering Mountain's Saint Masters were, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. At their level, large-scale battles had to be avoided.

Actually, even if Yan Long wasn't here, the Chenxiao Sect and the Shengtu Mountain wouldn't fight. Although the two sects were old enemies, they weren't mortal enemies. As long as it wasn't on the surface, the two sects would pretend that they didn't see it. If there was a battle between Advanced Professionals, the two sides would fight to the death, which was disadvantageous to both sides. Therefore, Yan Long only threatened and didn't make a move.

It was a stalemate. Yan Long said impatiently, "Ba Chong, what do you say?"

Ba Chong was trembling with anger. He wasn't a fool. He knew that if he didn't handle the situation well, it would lead to a war between the two sects. He didn't want to see that. As an Advanced Saint Master, he would have better combat power and experience. He wouldn't start a fight without reason. He said in a deep voice, "We, the Saint Massacre Mountain, want a share!"

Yan Long shook his head, "With your current strength, you can't get a share! We found this place. You can't get a share just because you saw it. That's not valid! "

Ba Chong had the intention to retreat. He knew that the Saint Massacre Mountain was misled by that guy from the exploration team. Looking at the situation here, it was indeed the territory of the Chenxiao Sect. He said shamelessly, "You didn't announce that this is your secret realm, your rune fire area … Of course, we want a share!" He didn't want to give up. This rune fire area was too important. Even a small part was fine.

Yan Long stared at him with an impatient expression. Ba Chong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He clenched his teeth and looked at Yan Long, encouraging himself in his heart: I can't give up!

The surroundings were dead silent. Only the roar of the flames could be heard.

A sharp air-piercing sound came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw a colorful light streaking across the sky, quickly flying towards the fiery zone. Yan Long's expression became angry. He smiled bitterly in his heart. The other side also had a Great Saint Master. This was going to be difficult.

The colorful light was extremely fast. It landed beside Ba Chong and the others. When that person revealed himself, Ba Chong was pleasantly surprised. He went forward and bowed, "Greetings, Eldest Brother Chen Kui. Why are you here?"

Chen Kui said indifferently, "Ah, it's Ba Chong. I received news that a natural rune fire area was found, so I rushed over … Coincidentally, I need natural rune fire … Eh? Yan Long? Why is someone from the Chenxiao Sect here? So many people … "

Guo Shier sighed in his heart. The other side also had a Great Saint Master. This was going to be troublesome.

Yan Long didn't say a word. He looked coldly at Chen Kui. He was extremely angry. He knew very well that it was very difficult to dominate the rune fire area.

Guo Shier quietly sized up this Saint Massacre Mountain super professional.

This person looked very young. His hair was as white as snow, similar to Master Ku Mu's. He wore a black robe and a dark green rune beast leather belt. He looked amiable and didn't have a fierce aura at all. Beside him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old disciple.

Ba Chong explained the situation to Chen Kui in a low voice. Chen Kui's face didn't change. He still had a smile on his face and nodded to show that he understood. He then turned around and flew over, greeting, "Brother Yan, long time no see. How have you been?"

Guo Shier's evaluation of Chen Kui was, "This person has an excellent demeanor. If he's not a smiling tiger, then he's a very good person."

Yan Long said unhappily, "Not good!"

Chen Kui smiled, "Brother Yan, don't be so sad. There are many good things in this world. Not all of them belong to the Chenxiao Sect. Moreover, this rune fire area is so big. If it's discovered by people from high-ranked continents, you won't be able to protect it. Hehe, even if you exclude the Saint Massacre Mountain, you may not be able to dominate this area!"

After hearing these words, Guo Shier knew that this person was very powerful. He immediately grasped the crux of the problem, which happened to be the Chenxiao Sect's weakness. If Yan Long didn't agree to Chen Kui's request, he could release the news at any time. This way, neither side would benefit.

Yan Long thought about it and knew that he couldn't continue being stubborn. Otherwise, he would lose more than he gained. Since the other side had a Great Saint Master, then the nature of the situation had changed. Great Saint Masters rarely fought each other. No sect could afford to lose a Great Saint Master. They were the deterrent force of the sect and the stabilizing force of the sect.

"Since you've come forward, I can agree to the negotiation. However, this rune fire area was indeed discovered by us first. There is no doubt about that!"

Chen Kui said magnanimously, "No problem. I agree with that!"

Ba Chong couldn't help but call out, "Eldest senior brother!"

Chen Kui glared at him and said, "I'll take care of this!"

The Eighth Layer of Gravity unwillingly retreated a few steps. Once Chen Kui confirmed that the other side had discovered this area first, then the Saint Massacre Mountain would be very passive in the negotiation. They wouldn't be able to get more than half of the flame area.

Yan Long nodded and said, "Also, if the Saint Massacre Mountain wants a part of the rune fire area, they must give the Chenxiao Sect a certain amount of compensation. Only then can I obtain the sect's understanding." This was the problem in the question. Chen Kui also nodded and said, "No problem. The compensation will be decided by the negotiators of both sides."

Guo Shier sighed and said, "This person is amazing!"

Mo Nier said, "Of course a Great Saint Master is amazing … This person is a super professional."

Guo Shier shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that his profession is amazing, but that his negotiation skills are amazing."

Mo Nier said, "How come I can't tell? Hasn't he been agreeing to our conditions all this while? I can't tell how amazing he is. "She didn't know anything about negotiation, so she obviously didn't understand how much advantage Chen Kui had. Originally, this rune fire area had nothing to do with the Saint Massacre Mountain, but now it was completely different. If the Chenxiao Sect wanted to occupy this area, they would have to negotiate with the Saint Massacre Mountain to divide their territory.

Guo Shier said, "That doesn't matter. The important thing is that the Saint Massacre Mountain has confirmed that they have the right to negotiate. This place … will be occupied by two sects in the future."

Mo Nier blinked her eyes indifferently and said, "Anyway, I won't come to this place anymore. Let them do whatever they want."

Guo Shier heard this and broke out in a cold sweat. This Master's wife was really powerful. However, he didn't really care about this. How the territory was divided had nothing to do with him. With their harvest in this half a year, they wouldn't need to collect any more rune fires in the future. In such a large rune fire area, all the valuable rune fires had been collected by them. It would take at least a hundred years for them to recover to their original level.

The tense atmosphere between the two sides quickly calmed down as the two great experts conversed. Not only did the people from the Saint Massacre Mountain let out a sigh of relief, but even the people from the Chenxiao Sect also relaxed. No one wanted to fight. This was different from normal battles. Battles between sects were extremely terrifying. Once they started, countless people would die. No one was willing to go that far.

As the atmosphere eased up, everyone's attention turned to the flames on the ground. Gu Mu said coldly, "Before the negotiation is successful, no one is allowed to collect the rune fires!"

Yan Long and Chen Kui immediately restrained everyone. These people didn't know that the good rune fires here had already been collected. When they saw so many rune fires, it was inevitable that their hands would be itchy. Luckily, Yan Long and Chen Kui had high prestige. Seeing the two of them speak, no one dared to act recklessly.

Chen Kui smiled and said, "Feng 'er, come and meet your Martial Uncle Yan." There was a trace of pride in his tone.

Yan Long asked, "Is this the last disciple you accepted?"

Chen Kui said happily, "Hehe, this child has great potential. He became a beginner great rune master at the age of fifteen, advanced great rune master at the age of seventeen. In another one or two years, I'm confident that he can become a crazy master … Hehe, an eighteen year old crazy master!"

Yan Long's face revealed a strange smile. Gu Mu slanted the corner of his mouth coldly.
