Bai Xiaowen slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Yuantang's appearance seemed like they had talked for a long time, but in truth, the conversation was carried out through his thoughts. It was as fast as lightning, and only an instant passed in the outside world.
Everyone could only see that Bai Xiaowen had accepted the lord rights of the Tang Gu territory.
"Congratulations, Lord Lu Wang. You have obtained another territory."
"Congratulations Lord Lu Wang. From now on, the relationship between the Great Xia and White Phoenix territories has deepened. We must help each other."
Guo Baisheng and the other evolvers all congratulated Bai Xiaowen, hoping that the White Phoenix Territory would stand on the same side as the Great Xia Territory.
Xia Feng did not bother, looking out of the window in a daze.
Bai Xiaowen knew what the evolvers of the Great Xia Territory were thinking. They definitely felt that the Great Yan Territory was giving them too much pressure, and Xia Feng did not have many strong allies. The strength of the White Phoenix Territory had already been partially verified, so the evolvers of the Great Xia Territory naturally had to make use of it.
Bai Xiaowen would not tell them about the relationship between the White Phoenix Territory, Xue Li Territory, and the Great Xia Territory. He smiled and said, "Of course, the White Phoenix Territory is also being eyed by the Tianfu Territory and even the Great Yan Territory. Since we have a common enemy, we should help each other."
Guo Baisheng and the others were delighted.
Following which, they held a meeting in the Tang Gu territory.
Although Xia Feng sat on the main seat, he spent most of his time in a daze. As for the follow-up matters, it was Guo Baisheng and Bai Xiaowen who discussed them.
"Lord Lv Wang, we've heard of your idea of establishing an economic alliance, and we're all in favor of it … Great Xia has a group of mature craftsmen. Although they don't have any masters, they have no problem creating standard equipment and general supplies. We can also participate in this alliance.
Bai Xiaowen nodded, "Building an economic alliance is only the first step. The key is to pull in other territories that are interested in cooperating and share the benefits. In the end, we will tie them to our chariot. However, there is a prerequisite. "
"What prerequisite?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "The Great Yan Territory has a very high prestige in the Interstellar Alliance. We have to beat it down to the ground so that more territories will dare to cooperate with us."
Guo Baisheng slapped his thigh. "Exactly!"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and took out the Demon Eye. "It just so happens that I recorded the process of the experts of the Great Yan Region participating in the ambush in the Bone Melting Region … Xia Jincheng and Qi Zeng are both well-known figures in Starlink. This video and the corpses of the two experts are ironclad evidence."
Guo Baisheng said, "Then put the evidence in the chat group of the Lords of the Blue Planet and ruin Xia Yan's reputation!"
Bai Xiaowen was just about to speak when he suddenly received a notification from the Spirit Realm. Xia Yan, the Grand Yan Overlord of the Blue Star Overlord Group, had sent him a private message.
The message was very simple. "It's all a misunderstanding. The Great Yan Territory is willing to compensate you with 100,000 spirit crystals."
Bai Xiaowen relayed the news to the others.
On the other side, Xia Feng had also received a similar message. However, the Great Yan Territory's chip was "one ton of Frost Essence Jade."
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's inquiring gaze, Xia Feng explained, "The Frost Essence Jade is a resource that the Great Xia Territory has been collecting."
Bai Xiaowen thought of the crystal coffin where his sister, Bai Xiaohua, was sleeping and nodded.
The Frost Essence Jade had a strange cold aura that was hundreds or even thousands of years old. When used as a coffin, it could prevent the corpse from rotting for many years, just like a newly dead person. Of course, this was only one of the uses of the Frost Essence Jade. More people used it to create accessories, necklaces, and other equipment.
How many gold or even dark gold accessories and necklaces could be created with a ton of Frost Essence Jade? The price that the Great Yan Territory offered to Xia Feng was indeed not low.
"Hmph, that old thing Xia Yan also has a day when he's nervous!" Guo Baisheng said angrily. "He offered 100,000 spirit crystals and a ton of dark gold materials in one go. What a big deal …"
Xia Feng said, "It's not like he's losing anything …"
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "Yes, 100,000 spirit crystals and a ton of Frost Essence Jade can preserve the Great Yan Territory's special status in the Star Alliance and maintain the relationship with the Pan-Asian Alliance. It's worth it."
"Lord Xia Feng, Lord Lu Wang, are you two planning to make a deal with that old bastard Xia Yan?" Guo Baisheng felt that something was wrong.
Xia Feng said, "That's what I'm thinking." When the Frost Essence Jade was carved into a coffin, the strange cold aura it contained would constantly dissipate, and its protective effect on the corpse would not be as good as before. Therefore, a new batch of Frost Essence Jade had to be exchanged every one or two years. This was also the reason why Xia Feng kept collecting Frost Essence Jade.
Bai Xiaowen frowned. "Wait a minute." He sent a message back to Xia Yan. "Two hundred thousand … for me to get over the shock."
Not long after, Lord Xia Yan replied, "Deal. Deal in person in the arena box of the Blue Planet's Evolver Platform. "
Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned. "I feel like I lost a bargain … Is this a scam?"
Xia Feng said, "I'll go with you."
Guo Baisheng's head was about to explode. "Lords, wait a minute … You can't let go of the Great Yan Territory just because of this small profit, right? Although it's not a small profit, it's still more important than destroying the Great Yan Territory! "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Old Guo, even if you don't agree to the deal, can you destroy the Great Yan Territory by spreading the news?"
Guo Baisheng shook his head.
"That's right. This matter will at most make the Great Yan Territory anxious and tarnish its reputation, but it won't shake its foundation or hurt its bones."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "So, it's good to seek a large profit from it for your own development. Most importantly … "
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was lost in thought, Guo Baisheng hurriedly asked, "What's the most important thing?"
"I always feel that the Great Yan Territory's attitude is a bit too rational." Bai Xiaowen said, "After all, they've lost two experts from the Extreme Tavern and a dozen other elite evolvers this time … I think Xia Yan should be gnashing his teeth at me and Lord Xia Feng. But he actually proposed peace talks first to restore the Great Yan Territory's reputation … "
Guo Baisheng trembled. "He's indeed a bit too rational."
"It's precisely this kind of attitude of choosing to keep the peace that makes people suspicious." Bai Xiaowen said, "I think it's very likely that he's trying to lower our guard, and he'll do something else later. However, it's actually a good thing that the Great Yan Territory wants to pay the price for peace, because our territory's development speed is much faster than theirs! I'll drag this out for a while, and I still have some more important preparations to complete. When I'm done, it won't be too much of a pressure to confront the Great Yan Territory. "
Bai Xiaowen then said to Xia Feng, "Brother Xia, have you heard of the Dark Age Plane?"
"I've heard of it." Of course, Xia Feng knew. This was the plane that Mengchuan had poured a lot of energy into trying to conquer, but Bai Xiaowen snatched it from him.
