"Nonsense! How can the fight for hegemony be so childish? "Yu ManLou said with displeasure.
"In my eyes, this is just a game." Ling Tian chuckled, "This is also a game worth gambling on in one's life. Lord of Tamago, don't lie to me. I know that you are already tempted and I'm afraid that in your heart, this game is even more insignificant. However, there is a huge difference between the two of us. What you care about is the outcome while what I care about is the process. "
"As such, we can split up and clear out the various powers in our respective areas without having to worry about each other holding us back. Naturally, our speed will be much faster." Ling Tian continued, "When the world is split into two, it will be the time for us to become one. Within a few years, either you destroy me or I destroy you, and the world will be settled! This way, it will be much better than us scheming against each other. If we continue like this, one of us might win in the end. However, regardless of whether it is you or me, it will definitely take a long time. If that's the case, it will be too meaningless. Furthermore, there is a high possibility that both of us will suffer great losses and the Xiao family or other aristocratic families will be able to take advantage of us. "
"I believe that you wouldn't be willing to see such an outcome, right?"
Ling Tian chuckled coldly, "Take today for example. You might have the strength to kill me, but if I knew that I was going to die and retaliated with all my might, I would be able to keep you bedridden for at least half a year or even worse. You should know that I'm not speaking empty words. "
Yu ManLou fell into deep thought and nodded his head slowly. He had to admit that the Ling Tian in front of him did indeed possess the strength to fight against him!
"If we were to fight to the death today, even if you were to win in the end, your Tamago would be defeated in the battle against the Shui Family! If that's the case, the Xiao family would have the support of Above Heavens, and your Tamago would be at a disadvantage. Although it could be said that you would be defeated, it would be impossible for you to have the chance to conquer the world like you do now! "Ling Tian smiled confidently and pointed out," Thus, we need to work together. I don't need you as much as you need me. That's why I dared to wait for you here! "
Ling Tian stood up and waved his hand. "If this world is a chess game, then you and I are the two sharpest chess players! If this world is a gambling table, then you and I will each bring gold and silver onto the stage! " Ling Tian laughed heartily. There was an indescribable wildness, an indescribable arrogance, an indescribable arrogance, and an indescribable confidence!
It could be said that Ling Tian had a rather accurate grasp of Yu Manlou's personality. From the little bit of information he had gathered, Yu Manlou was simply someone who had reached the peak of his desire for power. Furthermore, he was extremely powerful and had the hope of unifying the world.
Ling Tian's words were tailored to Yu Manlou's character. Even Ling Tian's incomparably arrogant actions at the end had greatly stimulated Yu ManLou's wild ambition, as well as his morbid desire for power!
Yu Manlou's pupils constricted, and two sharp beams of light shot out!
"What a good gamble! What a good gamble with the world at stake! "Yu ManLou cheered. His eagle eyes stared deeply at Ling Tian. "Ling Tian, ever since you were five years old and stood out in Sky Bearing, I had already sent people to keep an eye on you."
Ling Tian was startled. Five years old? Did Yu ManLou have nothing better to do? Why would he care about a five-year-old child?
Was he crazy?!
"As you grew up step by step, your reputation became more and more tarnished. Just this point alone made me lower my guard." Yu ManLou let out a self-mocking laugh. "The spies I sent over also found out about your silkpants deeds, which made me more and more disappointed. It was only after five years that the underground forces of Sky Bearing were suddenly unified and controlled by an unknown power. Even with Tamago's manpower, they were unable to find out who the mastermind was. Only then did this matter attract my attention again. While there were still a few gangs on the surface, and the mastermind behind the scenes was hidden well, you should know that once there is a target, it would not be able to hide it from those who are observant. As long as you look at everything in detail, you would definitely notice that there was no conflict between these gangs. "
"As such, I ordered them to investigate just who could be so generous. However, no matter how they investigated, they were unable to find anything. However, they did find out that all the silkpants deeds of young master Ling Tian were spread by these people. Furthermore, if they were to investigate the matter, it would all be groundless accusations with no evidence at all. I knew it. I'm afraid that you have something to do with Cheng Tian's matter. "
"However, at that time, no, before the scholarly meet, I only thought that you were a talented and intelligent child. While you had some tricks up your sleeves, it was not enough for me to pay attention to you. However, it was only after the battle of Sky Bearing that I placed you in the list of dangerous characters. "
Yu ManLou let out a heavy sigh. "Only until today did I realize that you have already grown to become my greatest opponent. Even the Shui Family would not be able to be compared to you. At least, that is the case in my heart. I originally did not want to agree to your suggestion. I really wanted to kill you on the spot, even if I had to pay an unbearable price. Because you are just too dangerous, I had no choice but to agree to your suggestion! Ling Tian, your research on me has already reached such a deep level! "
Yu ManLou looked at Ling Tian and said solemnly, "I agree to your suggestion!"
"There is no need to wait for three months. I will agree to your suggestion right now!" Yu ManLou said. "If Justice was able to kill you, would he have dragged it out for three months? Since he wasn't able to kill you in the past three months, as a Justice, he had already lost. He is just unwilling to admit it. "
Yu ManLou let out a mocking laugh. "To be unable to kill a teenager even after three months, this Martial Order Medallion owner is truly a new laughingstock."
Ling Tian chuckled. He never expected that Yu ManLou would have even more confidence in him. Yu ManLou had never exchanged blows with him before, so how would he know how frightening he was? He could not help but chuckle. "According to what I know, Tamago Medallion owner has always wanted my life as well. However, he is still sitting with me and chatting happily." In other words, what rights did Yu ManLou have to talk about the Martial Order Medallion owner? You guys are only in the upper class.
"Furthermore, I only believe half of what you said previously." Ling Tian stretched out a finger and shook it. "You have always been scheming against me. It has already been a few years. Do you still need to deny it in front of us? In Sky Bearing, I'm afraid that you already have many subordinates under you! "
Yu ManLou froze for a moment and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He then said angrily, "Don't tell me that in Bright Jade City, Ling Tian's subordinates can be lacking?"
Ling Tian burst out into laughter and Yu ManLou looked at Ling Tian's smile with a solemn face. After a long while, he also burst out into laughter. The two of them laughed heartily and without any scruples.
Both old and young foxes had their own ulterior motives, but each of them was laughing more happily than the other. However, who would have the last laugh between the two of them?!
"Let's follow your suggestion. With Cold River as the boundary, Jiangnan will be yours and Jiangbei will be mine. How's that? "Yu ManLou looked at Ling Tian and threw out a suggestion.
Cold River was the largest river in the entire Heavenly Star Continent. North of Sky Bearing, it was only a hundred miles away. Yu ManLou's suggestion was equivalent to taking away half of Ling Tian's territory! This suggestion seemed fair, but it was actually extremely harsh!
Ling Tian did not get angry. With the current situation, if Yu ManLou did not make use of this opportunity to extort a sum of money, he wouldn't be Yu ManLou. Ling Tian chuckled, "Why don't we use Bright Jade City as the boundary, with you in the north and me in the south. How's that?" This suggestion was even more ruthless, directly taking Tamago's territory into his own territory.
Yu ManLou also laughed. His previous suggestion was just a test to see if Ling Tian would compromise under such circumstances. To put it bluntly, if Ling Tian were to compromise, it would mean that Ling Tian did not have the sincerity to cooperate with Yu ManLou. He might not even have the qualifications to talk about cooperation with Yu ManLou. How could someone who lacked the bearing of a superior be Yu ManLou's opponent? Yu ManLou might even take action to kill Ling Tian, an opponent who wasn't qualified to be his opponent!
Ling Tian shook his head helplessly, "I knew that you wouldn't agree. If you were to agree, you wouldn't be Ling Tian anymore." He pointed towards the west, "I have already spent too much effort on the Western Han side. It can be said that half of the Western Han belongs to my Tamago. I will definitely not give up and there is no room for negotiation. "Yu ManLou's calm tone sounded as though he was describing a fact and not bargaining.
Ling Tian laughed mockingly, "Perhaps this is just your own feeling. When you really need it, you will realize that what you have is far from half. In fact, it might not even be a tenth of what you have. The unification that I am talking about is not one side submitting to the other. Even if you submit completely, the power will not belong to you completely. You should understand what I mean. "
Yu ManLou's eyes shone brightly, "According to what you are saying, the next five years will be extremely difficult for us."
Ling Tian laughed nonchalantly, "That's right. Without sufficient pressure, how can there be sufficient motivation?" He raised his head and looked into Yu Manlou's eyes. "You and I are used to planning and hosting everything in the dark, hiding behind the scenes. However, we can make the world move with our words and thoughts. I have to admit that this kind of feeling is extremely moving. However, conquering the world can't be achieved with just plotting and assassination. Thus, this time, we will need to use proper methods. "
As Ling Tian said this, he recalled Li Xue's warning. While plotting might work for a while, it wasn't the true way to conquer the world. If he wanted the world to submit to him, he had to rely on proper methods!
Thinking about this, Ling Tian revealed a proud smile, "On this point, you are at a disadvantage because your Tamago and Shui Family are still restricting each other. Furthermore, there is still the Xiao family that is waiting to make a move. Thus, even though I have given you the authority to divide the borders, it doesn't mean that you can open your mouth like a lion. I am very clear about this point and I believe that you are also very clear about it. This is the most important point for us to work together." Ling Tian's voice turned cold, "If you want to become a fatty in a single bite, you have to first see if you have the appetite to eat. If you are too greedy, you will definitely die from overeating!"
Yu ManLou laughed coldly. Obviously, he accepted Ling Tian's words, "If that's the case, we will use the Soul Shattering Valley 300 miles west of Sky Bearing as our border. That was originally the border between Western Han and Sky Bearing. My Tamago will conquer the Western Han, unite the Northern Wei, destroy the Wu Empire, destroy the Shui Family, and unify half of the continent within five years! As for the rest, it will be up to you. "
The rest would naturally be the Southern Zheng, Eastern Zhao, Sky Bearing, and the Xiao family. Apart from the fact that Sky Bearing had already fallen into the hands of Ling Tian, the Southern Zheng and Eastern Zhao were still in perfect condition. Furthermore, there was still the mysterious Xiao family. The difficulty for Ling Tian's side was undoubtedly much greater than for Yu ManLou.
Both of them had a common point, and that was that the countries they belonged to had already been destroyed. In their respective territories, they were truly able to cover the sky with a single hand! However, Bright Jade City had been single-handedly destroyed by Ling Tian's schemes. In this aspect, Yu ManLou was at a disadvantage. However, the experts of Tamago in Sky Bearing would also be able to achieve something. Overall, it would still be a draw.
When Ling Tian suggested this, he had already predicted that Yu ManLou would make such a choice. Thus, Ling Tian wasn't surprised by this outcome.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Tian let out a bitter smile, "You are taking too much advantage of this division. You have to give me some compensation. "
"F * * k your mother! Why didn't this daddy give you any compensation? This daddy didn't take your life today. Isn't that the best compensation I can give you? " Yu ManLou let out an angry roar. He never imagined that this little brat would be so unsatisfied. He actually had the cheek to ask for compensation! Yu ManLou's stomach almost exploded from anger, and he directly roared out, "The Northern Wei is already a mess. There is also the Shui Family, the Western Han, and the Wu Empire. Which one of them is easy to deal with? Furthermore, behind me, there is the Moon Deity Empire and the Lei Family. Aren't these your backup plans? "
Yu Manlou replied viciously, "You're talking about unification, not peace. Five years later, if any side of the Stellarsky Continent is still independent of the two of us, that would mean that the person on that side has lost. No matter how far away the Moon Deity Empire is, it still belongs to the Heavenly Star Continent, right? At that time, wouldn't that be your excuse? The difficulty for this old man is much greater than yours! "
"But in truth, this young noble has already helped you settle the Water of Heavenly Wind. We are already partners, so shouldn't Family Head not mention Ling Tian's life and death?!" Ling Tian cursed in his heart. This old fox really isn't stupid.
"Your little life is still in this old man's hands. Isn't that the truth? Besides, this old man has also gotten rid of many of the Above Heavens people under your schemes! " Yu ManLou roared in a low voice, "Even my Tamago people have been schemed against by you. As for your own troops, they are still sleeping peacefully in your camp without any losses! Why didn't you mention this point? "
Ling Tian raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, we will do as you say. Is that alright?"
Yu ManLou glared at him and cursed under his breath. Suddenly, he sighed, "Five years …" He suddenly came to a realization, "Good lad! I still fell for your tricks in the end! "
Ling Tian glared at him innocently, "How can there be such a thing?"
Looking at Ling Tian's lazy appearance, Yu ManLou couldn't help but be angered, "The Shui Family is in the Heavenly Wind Continent. How can our Tamago control when they come and create trouble? Even if we win the battle three years later, the Shui Family's foundation will still be there! As long as they want to, they can still drag this old man down! If that's the case, wouldn't this old man be in a much more difficult position? "
"That is your problem." Ling Tian replied shamelessly. "This doesn't seem to be something that I should be worried about. What I should be worried about now is the incomparably powerful Xiao family. "
"Incomparably powerful?" Yu ManLou snorted with ridicule and did not say anything else.
"This is only a bet between the two of us, with the ownership of the continent as the wager. However, neither you nor I have the qualifications to predict what will happen during this period of time." Ling Tian said solemnly, "I can only restrict my troops from finding trouble with you. As for other matters, before I unify the continent, I am unable to make any promises. In other words, it is the same for your side. I hope that you will be able to control your Tamago. "
Yu ManLou sneered, "That is only natural. The words of I, Yu ManLou, always carry more weight than your words." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If that's the case, I will give the order for the Tamago experts in Sky Bearing to retreat. I hope that you will not do anything about this."
Retreat? Ling Tian almost wanted to burst out into laughter. You think that you can go and retreat as you wish? Do you think that Sky Bearing is your Tamago's back garden? Yu ManLou sneered, "I will definitely not do anything. However, if they are able to return, you can just let them return."
"As long as you don't do anything, I believe that no power will be able to stop them from returning." Yu ManLou's eyes flashed as he said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will not let them take away anything that belongs to you from Sky Bearing."
Letting go when necessary and abandoning when necessary, this was Yu ManLou's style. Since there was already such a bet, there was no need for him to scheme anything through Yu BingYan in the dark. If news of this bet were to spread out, most of the people in the world would scoff at it with disdain and disdain. However, Yu Manlou knew that this was not a joke!
Yu ManLou firmly believed that this delicate young man in front of him was the same type of person as him! They were both crazy, emotionless and callous!
This was the conclusion that he came to after observing for a long time. Yu ManLou firmly believed that his judgement would not be wrong!
Let the entire world be the wager of these two lunatics! Yu ManLou thought to himself with glee.
However, it was still unknown whether Ling Tian would be like what Yu ManLou was thinking. At the very least, if Ling Tian knew that Yu ManLou thought of him in such a manner, he would probably burst out into laughter.
Once the bet was made, regardless of who unified the world in the end, they would definitely save at least half of the time needed! Regardless of whether it was Ling Tian or Yu ManLou, both of them would be extremely satisfied with this half of the time.
Thus, Yu ManLou was truly unwilling to drag Ling Tian down at this moment.
Ling Tian replied with an indifferent smile, "Do as you wish."
Yu ManLou nodded his head slightly and a fanatical look could be seen in his eyes. Such a bet was exactly in line with his crazy personality. To use the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces! Just how crazy was this? What kind of shocking news was this?
Yu ManLou was extremely satisfied. In his heart, all living beings in the world were insignificant and were nothing more than ants! Only he was fit to be the one who controlled the life and death of all the ants in the world.
Yu ManLou was extremely confident that he would win this bet! No matter how outstanding or talented Ling Tian was, so what? How could a thousand years of accumulation be offset by Ling Tian alone?
Yu ManLou did not even hope that Ling Tian would be able to pacify the east within five years and have a final showdown with him. However, Yu ManLou did not care about that. What he wanted was to pacify the west within five years and occupy half of the world! If Ling Tian really managed to unify half of the east at that time, Yu ManLou would not care about that world war!
But no matter what, this would definitely save him a lot of time compared to his original plan! What Yu ManLou wanted was only time.
Looking at the fanatical look on Yu ManLou's face, Ling Tian did not know what to feel in his heart. Admittedly, this plan, or rather this bet, was something that Ling Tian had planned out meticulously to cater to Yu ManLou's crazy mentality. But the moment the bet was established, it also placed Ling Tian on a path of no return.
Five years!
The difference between Ling Tian and Yu ManLou was that the thing that Ling Tian had the most was time. He was not even 17 years old this year and he could afford to drag things out. Ling Tian was not as crazy as Yu ManLou. While the masses had a place in his heart, Ling Tian would definitely not be stingy with the sacrifices that were necessary in order to unify the world!
Even if that was the case, even if he managed to obtain five years of time from Yu ManLou, these five years were destined to be filled with bloodshed!
On this point, Ling Tian had countless backup plans and Yu ManLou also had countless tricks up his sleeves. The two of them schemed against each other and were delighted. Both of them thought that they had already fallen into their trap and were confident that victory was within their grasp!
Both of them laughed complacently at the same time.
"Since that's the case, let us make an oath! We will never go back on our words! "Ling Tian said solemnly.
"Pa, pa, pa!" The two of them exchanged three palms and took a step back. Then, both of them did the same action at the same time.
Both of them lowered their heads and looked at their palms which they had yet to retract. Both of them fell into deep thought and furrowed their brows.
"You, what did you see?" A moment later, Yu ManLou raised his head and asked calmly. His calm voice was filled with the smell of blood.
