The Spirit Turtle Island cultivator looked at Qing Lan with a livid expression and said in a deep voice, "Qing Lan, aren't you afraid that our South Sea Army will destroy your Qinglan Sect's legacy?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Do you think the Black Sky Sect will let me go if your South Sea Army doesn't come? Since we're going to die anyway, it doesn't matter who kills us. Besides, if I help the Black Heaven Sect, they might let us go. At the very least, they're stronger than you guys. They're still willing to talk to us, but you guys didn't even talk and directly rejected them. "
"You …!" The person from the Spirit Turtle Island didn't know what to say. In their opinion, Qing Lan's actions were disgraceful. However, they couldn't say anything after hearing Qing Lan's words. This was because they knew that Qing Lan was right.
Previously, when Qing Lan went to the South Sea Army to talk about cooperation, they rejected him directly. In their opinion, they shouldn't be involved in this matter. Qing Lan and the Black Sky Sect had fallen out and the Black Sky Sect would definitely not let them go. Qing Lan and the Black Sky Sect would also not surrender. When the time came, both sides would definitely go to war. Therefore, whether they helped Qing Lan or not, they would still go to war with the other sects. So why should they get involved? Moreover, if the other sects really defeated Qing Lan and the Black Sky Sect, they would have to pay a heavy price. When the time came, the Black Sky Sect would send their troops and take over the buffer zone in one fell swoop. They wouldn't be so passive in the future.
However, who would have thought that at this time, they would suddenly receive news that the Sea Exploration Alliance had negotiated with the Black Sky Sect? The content of the negotiation was that the Sea Exploration Alliance would help the Black Sky Sect attack the South Sea. If they won, the Black Sky Sect and the other orthodox sects would give the buffer zone to Qing Lan and the Black Sky Sect.
When they heard this news, the people of the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea were all stunned. They really didn't expect the other side to do this. This was really too much. If the two sides really joined forces, the South Sea would really be in trouble.
It was precisely because of this that they immediately sent people to contact Qing Lan and the others. They wanted to cooperate with Qing Lan and the others to deal with the people from the Black Sky Sect together. This time, they sent two people to play the role of good cop and bad cop.
Sure enough, the person from Spirit Crab Island saw that the person from Spirit Turtle Island had nothing else to say. He then opened his mouth and said, "Qinglan, you have to think clearly. You have a great enmity with the Black Sky Sect. They are now saying that as long as you help them deal with us, they will give you the buffer zone. But do you really think that you can defeat the 72 Islands of the South Sea? We, the Seventy-two Islands of the Southern Sea, have stood tall in the Southern Sea for thousands of years and have our own methods. How can you deal with us? Once you fail, do you think the Black Heaven Sect will let you go? "
Qing Lan's expression changed. Then, he snorted coldly and said, "So what? We can't cooperate with the South Sea, so we can only bow to the Black Sky Sect. Otherwise, if they send an army over, can we stop them? Rather than die now, it's better to seek survival in the midst of death. "
When the person from Spirit Crab Island heard Qing Lan's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He understood what Qing Lan meant. It seemed like Qing Lan didn't want to cooperate with the Black Sky Sect. However, if they didn't cooperate with the Black Sky Sect, the Black Sky Sect's army would soon attack. Therefore, they had no choice but to cooperate with the Black Sky Sect.
When he thought of this, the person from Spirit Crab Island immediately said to Qing Lan, "Qing Lan, you left in a hurry before. We didn't say that we don't want to cooperate with you. We just said that we wanted to discuss it. However, we didn't expect that you would leave before we came to a conclusion. How can you blame us for this? This time, the two of us came here to ask you why you want to negotiate with the Black Sky Sect. Secondly, we want to discuss the matter of cooperation with you. After many discussions, we feel that it's possible to cooperate with you. This way, not only can we deal with the attack of the Righteous Sects, we can also strengthen our communication and trade with each other. This is a good thing. So this time, we're here to discuss the matter of cooperation with you. However, I don't know if you still want to cooperate with us. If you really don't want to cooperate with us, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. We'll go back now and prepare for the battle. But to be honest, we did cooperate with you before, so we don't want to fight with you. So, you have to think about it carefully. "
When Qing Lan heard the person from Spirit Crab Island, his expression couldn't help but change. Of course, he knew that this person was talking nonsense. What he said about him leaving in a hurry? What a long discussion. It was all nonsense. He clearly remembered that the other party directly rejected him at that time. But now, they were saying this again.
However, Qing Lan also understood the other party's meaning. The other party was just looking for a way out. They wanted to tell them that they wanted to cooperate again, so they could do as they see fit.
But this way, the initiative was in Qing Lan's hands. Moreover, this person was the representative of the 72 islands. Saying this was equivalent to admitting defeat. This was already giving them a lot of face.
Qing Lan's expression also changed. Then he looked at the person from Spirit Crab Island and said, "Everyone, do you really want to cooperate with us?" Since the other party had already bowed, he naturally couldn't go too far. After all, they really wanted to cooperate with the other party. There was no need to make the relationship too stiff. That wouldn't be good.
The cultivator from Spirit Crab Island immediately said, "Of course, we want to cooperate with you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come today. We'll just prepare for the battle."
Qing Lan said in a deep voice, "I thought you were here to denounce us. Everyone, please." After saying that, he leaned to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
The person from the Spirit Crab Island smiled faintly, then he patted a small pouch on his body. Then the big crab beside him disappeared. The person from the Spirit Turtle Island also patted a pouch on his body, causing the spirit turtle to disappear. The others did the same, they all received their spirit beasts.
The group quickly arrived at the main hall of the Qing Lan Sect. After they sat down, Qing Lan introduced Zhao Hai and the others to the people from Spirit Crab Island and Spirit Turtle Island. The two people also introduced themselves. The person from Spirit Crab Island was called Lin Feng, and the person from Spirit Turtle Island was called Xu Lei.
After everyone introduced themselves, Qing Lan looked at the two of them and said, "Both of you, I want to know how the 72 Southern Sea Islands want to cooperate with us. Will we cooperate according to what I said before, or do you have any other ideas?"
Lin Feng looked at Qing Lan and smiled, "Our method of cooperation is actually very simple. We'll cooperate according to what you said before. The 72 Southern Sea Islands will send out troops and force the Black Heaven Sect to retreat. After that, the matters in the buffer zone will be left to you. But after that, you must not cooperate with the Black Heaven Sect. Any attempt to attack from the Sword Spirit Continent and invade the Southern Sea through the buffer zone must not be allowed. Of course, the 72 Southern Sea Islands can also open the trading rights to you. You can trade with us, an equal trade."
Qing Lan nodded and turned his head to look at Zhao Hai and the rest. He said in a low voice, "Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads. Zhao Hai thought for a moment and looked at Lin Feng. He said in a low voice, "Then can you sign a treaty with the Exploration Sea Alliance? Include everything that we said before in it. At the same time, we agree that we will not invade each other's territory in the future."
When Lin Feng heard Zhao Hai's words, he could not help but be stunned. Then, he looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, "Yes, as long as you agree, there won't be any problems."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Qing Lan and said, "Alliance Lord, I have no problems." The others were the same, they had no problems as well.
Qing Lan nodded and looked at Lin Feng and the rest. He said in a low voice, "Okay, then let's do it this way. As long as we sign this treaty, we can immediately cooperate. As long as the 72 Southern Sea Islands can force the Black Heaven Sect out of the buffer zone, then the other sects in the buffer zone will be left to us. I guarantee that the buffer zone will eventually fall into the hands of the Exploration Sea Alliance."
"Good!" When Lin Feng heard Qing Lan's words, he could not help but exclaim, "Taoist Qing Lan is indeed straightforward. Then it's settled. Everyone can immediately draft the treaty. The treaty will be divided into two parts. Everyone will hold one copy and the other will be in our hands. Everyone can sign the treaty. After that, I will bring the treaty back and ask the island owners to sign it. After that, I will send your copy back. The day the treaty is sent back will be the official start of our cooperation."
Qing Lan nodded and said, "Okay, but the Black Heaven Sect has already given us a deadline. If we don't agree to cooperate with them by tomorrow, they will attack us. So everyone, please hurry up. Don't wait until we have already been destroyed by them before you sign the treaty. Then, everything will be too late."
"Don't worry about this, Master Qing Lan. After we return, we will immediately take action. Even if the treaty is not signed, we can still take action immediately. We will not let the Black Heaven Sect cause too much damage to you."
Qing Lan nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay, please wait for a moment." After saying that, Qing Lan called someone over and asked him to go to the Qing Lan Sect's storage room to retrieve a high-quality beast hide. After that, he wrote the contents of the treaty on the beast hide. He wrote two copies on each side. After that, all the sect leaders in the Sea Exploring Alliance wrote their names on the beast hide. Then, they passed the beast hide to Lin Feng.
After receiving the beast hide, Lin Feng glanced at the contents and nodded his head, "Okay, Taoist Qing Lan, then we will go back first. We will settle this matter immediately. Wait for our good news." After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Qing Lan and the rest. Then, he turned and left.
Qing Lan and the rest sent Lin Feng and the rest to the Teleportation Formation. As they watched the group of people disappear into the Teleportation Formation, Qing Lan and the rest revealed excited expressions. Qing Lan even shouted in a low voice, "That's great, it's a success!"
