"Four hundred thousand people? That's too little. However, if you can really take out a hundred large artifacts, then we can try to attack the Kunshan Sect. "Luo Guan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice. Of course, he didn't believe that Zhao Hai could only take out four hundred thousand people at most. However, Zhao Hai took out a hundred large artifacts, which surprised him a little. One must know that their Western Deity Sect only had about two hundred large scale instruments. Refining a large scale instrument was very troublesome. After all, it was too big. If one wanted to make a large scale instrument, it would be impossible without a high level of refining.
On the other hand, the Kunshan Sect was a sect that specialized in refining artifacts. It was said that their sect had a lot of large artifacts, at least more than the Western Deity Sect. However, it wasn't that much more. Otherwise, the Kunshan Sect would have attacked the Western Deity Sect a long time ago.
Now that the Sea-Exploring Sect was willing to provide a hundred large artifacts, this was a good thing. It could offset the Kunshan Sect's advantage in large artifacts. Now, the Western Deity Sect would have more confidence in dealing with the Kunshan Sect.
In fact, Luo Guan said that the Kunshan Sect had ten million disciples. This was just an imaginary number. The number of disciples in the Kunshan Sect might really exceed ten million. However, many of these disciples were low-level disciples. Their strength hadn't reached the Qi Refinement Realm yet. In other words, they couldn't fly. Such disciples could only play a limited role in a war between two sects.
In fact, the number of disciples in the Kunshan Sect that could fight wouldn't exceed two million. If the Sea-Exploring Sect sent four hundred thousand troops, then in addition to the disciples of the Western Deity Sect, it wouldn't be impossible to destroy the Kunshan Sect.
Zhao Hai was very clear about the number of disciples that the two sects had. Because of this, he was able to say that the number of disciples he could provide was something that the Western Deity Sect could accept. As for the large artifacts, Zhao Hai didn't really care about them. For other sects, refining large artifacts would be very troublesome. However, for the Sea Exploring Sect, refining large artifacts wasn't that troublesome. Their large artifacts were different from other large artifacts. Their artifacts didn't need to be refined as a whole. Because of this, refining them was naturally easier. Zhao Hai didn't care about the large artifacts that the Sea Exploring Sect had.
Now that Zhao Hai heard Luo Guan's words, he understood that Luo Guan had basically agreed to his plan. Zhao Hai couldn't help but be happy as he asked Luo Guan, "Sect Master Luo, does that mean you agree that both of us will send troops to deal with the Kunshan Sect?"
Luo Guan waved his hand and said, "Sect Master Zhao Hai, attacking the Kunshan Sect isn't a trivial matter. I can't make the decision alone. We still need to discuss this matter. Let's not talk about this today. Come, let's drink."
Seeing that Luo Guan didn't want to talk about it, Zhao Hai also didn't say anything. He just nodded to Luo Guan and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it today. Let's drink." Then the atmosphere of the banquet became better. Both sides exchanged glasses and drank happily.
After the banquet was over, Luo Guan arranged a place for Zhao Hai to rest. Zhao Hai also went to rest. It was a very large immortal cave. Moreover, the inside of the cave was very clean. It can be seen that this place was specially made to entertain guests.
Zhao Hai also noticed that there weren't any surveillance or listening devices in the cave. It seems like the people of the Western Deity Sect also understood that if they installed surveillance or listening devices, it wouldn't be good if they were discovered. Therefore, they simply didn't install any.
After Zhao Hai led Long Dingtian and Ding Chunming into the cave, Zhao Hai asked the two to sit down. Then he turned to Ding Chunming and said, "Chunming, do you think that they will agree?"
Ding Chunming replied, "They should. According to the intelligence analysis, the people of the Western Deity Sect are very arrogant. Moreover, they have been wanting to deal with the Kunshan Sect for a long time. If the Kunshan Sect's strength wasn't bad and their large artifacts weren't inferior to the Western Deity Sect, then the Western Deity Sect would have already made their move. Now that we've joined, although we didn't send a lot of disciples, we still have a lot of large artifacts. Under such circumstances, the Western Deity Sect has no reason to refuse. However, with the arrogance of the Western Deity Sect, they might ask for more benefits, such as land, mineral veins, and so on."
Zhao Hai said, "These things don't matter. As long as we can destroy the Kunshan Sect, then as long as they agree to send troops with us to destroy the Western Deity Sect, we can agree to their conditions."
Ding Chunming also understood what Zhao Hai meant. Although there weren't any surveillance devices in the cave, there were still some things that couldn't be said. Therefore, Ding Chunming also said, "Then there shouldn't be any problem. I think that the people of the Western Deity Sect should agree to send troops. With our two sects joining forces, destroying the Kunshan Sect shouldn't be a problem."
Zhao Hai said, "I hope so. Alright, you guys go and rest. We'll see what the Western Deity Sect has to say." Ding Chunming and Long Dingtian nodded before they turned around and left.
At this time, Luo Guan also arrived at his study room. Some of the elders of the Western Deity Sect also followed Luo Guan into his study room. After entering the study room, Luo Guan looked at the elders and said, "Everyone, take a seat. Let's see what you think about the proposal of the Sea Exploring Sect."
The elders sat down. Xuan Fei looked at Luo Guan and said, "Sect Master, the proposal of the Sea Exploring Sect is very good. They're offering 400,000, which isn't a small amount. Most importantly, they can take out a large artifact. This is what we need. With these large artifacts, we don't need to be afraid of the large artifacts of the Kunshan Sect. Moreover, our sect has more disciples compared to the Kunshan Sect. If we don't count the large artifacts, we would've already dealt with the Kunshan Sect."
Luo Guan nodded and said, "I also know that this is possible. However, the proposal of the Sea Exploring Sect seems to be a bit too good. Most importantly, if they have a lot of disciples, then wouldn't we have to face them after dealing with the Kunshan Sect? I think we have to guard against this. "
The elders nodded. Elder Xuan Fei said, "We really have to guard against this situation. However, I don't think that the Sea Exploring Sect would have a lot of disciples. Moreover, if we can really destroy the Kunshan Sect, then we would be able to obtain their disciples. Our strength would then increase. When the time comes, we might even be able to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect."
Luo Guan's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Right, you're right. When the time comes, we might be able to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect. I don't believe that the Sea Exploring Sect is that strong."
The elders nodded. Then another elder said, "If the Sea Exploring Sect is as strong as the Gold Spirit Trading Company said, then I'm afraid that they would have already come out. Whether it's us or the Kunshan Sect, we wouldn't be able to stop the Sea Exploring Sect. But now, they're joining forces with us. This shows that they aren't as strong as the rumors say. This is an opportunity for us. If we can destroy the Kunshan Sect and the Sea Exploring Sect in one fell swoop, then our Western Deity Sect would be able to dominate the Northwest."
When the elders of the Western Deity Sect heard this, their eyes lit up. They felt that what Luo Guan said was reasonable. Luo Guan nodded and said, "Alright, then let's do that. We agree to join forces with the Sea Exploring Sect. First, we'll destroy the Kunshan Sect. Then we'll send troops to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect and sweep the entire Northwest."
Everyone nodded. Then Luo Guan said, "However, we can't let the Sea Exploring Sect take advantage of us. How about this, we'll tell them that one-third of the Kunshan Sect's land will belong to them, but all the spiritual fields and mines will belong to us. Otherwise, we won't send troops. Let's see how they react."
The others nodded. Then Xuan Fei said, "This will be a test. We'll see if the Sea Exploring Sect is plotting against us. If they aren't plotting against us, then they'll certainly compete with us. But if they're plotting against us, then they won't compete with us. This is because they'll think that we've fallen into their trap. Therefore, everything will belong to them. Even if they agree with us now, they can still take it back later."
Everyone nodded. Then Luo Guan looked at the others and said, "You're right. If they really compete with us, then it means that they aren't plotting against us. But if they don't compete with us, then we'll have to be careful of them."
Everyone nodded. Afterward, Luo Guan said a few more words to everyone before allowing them to leave. They had already decided that they would talk to the Sea Exploring Sect the next day and see how they would react.
The next day, Luo Guan invited Zhao Hai to the Western Deity Sect's conference room. After everyone sat down, Luo Guan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Zhao Hai, we've discussed it yesterday. We feel that your proposal is very good. We agree to send troops with your Sea Exploring Sect to deal with the Kunshan Sect."
When Zhao Hai heard Luo Guan, he couldn't help but be happy. Then he immediately said, "That would be great. Many thanks, Sect Master Luo."
Luo Guan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Zhao, please don't thank us. We still have conditions. We can send troops, but if we really destroy the Kunshan Sect, your Sea Exploring Sect will only get one-third of the Kunshan Sect's land. Moreover, all the spiritual fields and mines will belong to my Western Deity Sect. What do you think?"
When Zhao Hai heard Luo Guan, his expression couldn't help but change. He looked at Luo Guan and said, "What does Sect Master Luo mean? This time, we agreed to send troops with the Western Deity Sect. We're not asking the Western Deity Sect to send troops together. It's true that my Sea Exploring Sect has enmity with the Kunshan Sect, but does that mean that the Western Deity Sect doesn't have any enmity with the Kunshan Sect? If that's really the case, I wouldn't have allied with the Western Deity Sect. Since both our sects have contributed, why should the Sea Exploring Sect get one-third of the Kunshan Sect's land? Moreover, all the spiritual fields and mines will belong to the Western Deity Sect. If the Western Deity Sect really has such a request, then I don't think you have any sincerity in joining forces with us. We'll take our leave. "
Luo Guan really didn't expect Zhao Hai's attitude to be so unyielding. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, he immediately looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Zhao, you're wrong. The Kunshan Sect has more than ten million disciples. Your Sea Exploring Sect has only sent four hundred thousand troops. The rest of the troops were all sent by my Western Deity Sect. Are you saying that my Western Deity Sect can't get those lands?"
Zhao Hai looked at Luo Guan and said, "Sect Master Luo, there's no need to lie. Do you really think that I don't know how many troops the Kunshan Sect has? You're not the only one who has a branch of the Jinling Trading Company. Our Sea Exploring Sect also has one. Do you think that we can't buy information about the Kunshan Sect? Our Sea Exploring Sect has already shown enough sincerity. The land on the mountains of the Kunshan Sect will belong to the Western Deity Sect. We only want the land on the plains. Although there are some spiritual fields and mineral veins there, there's nothing we can do about the quantity and quality. Compared to the land on the mountains, who has the advantage? Everyone should be clear in their hearts. Our Sea Exploring Sect didn't send a lot of troops this time, but we also sent a hundred large artifacts. If we can't get a bit of mineral veins, our large artifacts will be damaged and we won't have anything to repair them. Is this reasonable? "
Luo Guan looked at Zhao Hai and smiled faintly, "What Sect Master Zhao said is reasonable. Let's do it like this, the land at the foot of the mountain will belong to the Exploring Sea Sect. However, the Exploring Sea Sect can only keep five ore veins and ten spirit fields. This is my bottom line. Sect Master Zhao Hai, you should know that even if the Kunshan Sect doesn't have 10 million disciples, they still have several million. You only sent 400,000 troops, this is already a lot.
What do you think? "Zhao Hai frowned when he heard Luo Guan's words. He thought for a while and said," Alright, but the mineral veins you give us can't be the ones that have been mined by the other party. We want new mineral veins and spiritual fields that are no less than ten thousand mu. This is also our bottom line. "
"Hahaha, alright. We'll do as Sect Master Zhao says. We'll give you five new mineral veins, one crystal mine, four iron mines, and ten spiritual fields, no less than ten thousand mu. Sect Master Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Hai thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, it's settled then. However, we'll need some time to prepare before dispatching our troops. We'll divide our troops into two groups and launch a pincer attack. This way, we'll be able to take down the Kunshan Sect in one fell swoop. What does Sect Master Luo think?"
Luo Guan said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Dispatching an army isn't an easy task. We'll set a deadline of one month, one month of preparation time. After one month, our two sects will dispatch our troops and eliminate the Kunshan Sect. This time, I hope that our two sects can cooperate fully and eliminate the Kunshan Sect in one fell swoop. If we can't, then everything we've discussed before will be in vain. What does Sect Master Zhao Hai think?"
Zhao Hai said, "Alright. Although I can't personally lead the troops during the attack, I'll send these two to follow me. These two are my guards and also elders of the Sea Exploring Sect. They're very strong. With them leading the troops, there won't be any problems. Sect Master Luo can rest assured." While speaking, Zhao Hai pointed at Ding Chunming and Long Dingtian.
When Luo Guan heard Zhao Hai's words, he glanced at the two and discovered that they were very strong. He nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as Sect Master Zhao says."
