Ling Shoujing, the Appeasing Ambassador of the Fifth Prefecture of the Southland of Sorcerers, and Ling Lanyin, his daughter Jin Dan, looked at each other. Neither of them knew what the unpredictable, vengeful, and ruthless old monster was like, nor did they know what he had talked about with Han Yuantai.
Looking at Li Yao's face, which was rather young and expressionless, with a green birthmark shining at the center of his eyebrow, the two of them felt even more uneasy.
Ling Shoujing thought to himself that such an extraterrestrial Yuanying was probably not going to be convinced by the principles of loyalty. He might as well get down to business!
He coughed and said, "Master, I've come to the Southland of Sorcerers not only to appoint Huo Wuji as the Chieftain of the Southland of Sorcerers, but also to bring five thousand kilograms of high-quality crystals, thirty thousand kilograms of refined iron for refining marvelous weapons, and fifty thousand kilograms of raw materials for pills that are beneficial for training! Right now, Master, you are the best expert in the Southland of Sorcerers. All the barbarian Cultivators are in awe of you. I believe that it will be the fairest thing for you to deal with those things, Master. "
Li Yao was not moved at all. He sniffed and asked, "What else?"
Ling Shoujing hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It happened so suddenly. I'll tell you the truth. These things were originally prepared for Venerable Black Moon. But what realm is Venerable Black Moon in? He was only in the beginning level of Yuanying! But your Cultivation is at least in the high level of the Yuanying Stage, isn't it, Master?
"Considering your identity and Cultivation, such a gift is indeed too little. After I send the news that you have broken out of seclusion with your marvelous arts back to the court and the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty, the court will certainly not mistreat such an unparalleled expert like you, Master. What you offered just now will at least be doubled!"
Li Yao was still emotionless. He replied casually, "Okay."
Ling Shoujing was even more confused about what the old monster was thinking. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Purple Pole Sword Sect is the best sword sect in the world. We have countless classics on sword control and marvelous weapons. As long as you are willing to nod your head, any techniques or magical equipment will not be a problem!
"Right!"
Seeing that Li Yao was still not very interested, Ling Shoujing thought quickly. He seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, "With your current cultivation, it is not impossible for you to become a high official in the imperial court. If you are interested in this …"
Seeing that Li Yao was not interested in Cultivation arts, magical equipment, pills, or crystals, he thought that the barbarian monster was bored after living in the southwest for a long time and wanted to be an official.
Li Yao was left speechless.
He really didn't know whether to sigh or curse out loud.
Putting aside the standpoints of the Great Gan Dynasty and Yunqin, the difference between the realms of the two envoys was just too great.
Han Yuantai was talking to him about ideas, beliefs, ambitions, and the future!
What Ling Shoujing discussed with him, however, were crystals, medicinal pills, divine abilities, and magical treasures … these things!
If it were Master Spiritual Vulture, a barbarian who had never seen the world, he might have been tempted by the thousands of kilograms of crystals and pills.
However, for Li Yao, who boasted the strongest forces in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector, he only wanted to say coldly,
"Don't talk to me about money. Vulgar!"
Li Yao couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "I've never had the patience to bother with the trifles of the mortal world. Huo Wuji or Huo Wujiu, it doesn't matter who is going to be the Chieftain of the Southland of Sorcerers! Just tell me. What else do you want besides that? “
"It's done!"
Ling Shoujing was excited.
The old monster had tacitly agreed to let Huo Wuji, who was close to the Great Gan Dynasty, be the Chieftain of the Southland of Sorcerers. It meant that he had not reached an agreement with Han Yuantai, and the Southland of Sorcerers was still on the court's side!
Despite the twists and turns of the trip, the greatest purpose had been accomplished. Ling Shoujing took a long breath in relief and continued. "Besides, the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty right now is a bit …"
"I've heard a lot of things from Han Yuantai. You don't need to hide them anymore."
Li Yao stared at him and said coldly, "Just say that the Great Qian Dynasty is in chaos and half-dead."
"Don't believe Han Yuantai's exaggeration, Master!"
Ling Shoujing grew anxious. "Those people of Ghost Qin are as cunning as foxes and as brutal as wolves. Is there any truth in their words? Right now, there are indeed riots in the Great Qian Dynasty, and the north is not peaceful, either. However, the Great Qian Dynasty has experienced a thousand years of storms and is deeply rooted. How can a few insignificant waves be enough to sink it?
"Of course. When the mobs rise, the devils take the opportunity to go on a rampage. All kinds of ghosts and monsters are wreaking havoc in the human world. The people are suffering because of them! In such a chaotic world, it is exactly the time for the Cultivators to step forward and rescue the people from the fire and water! If the Southland of Sorcerers can provide fifty thousand ferocious soldiers and five hundred Cultivators, led by you, Master, and march north … "
"Hehe."
Li Yao put on a fake smile. "You want the Southland of Sorcerers to send fifty thousand soldiers out of the hot and humid forests to the freezing north to fight the cavalry of Ghost Qin that just crushed the three hundred thousand soldiers of the court last year?"
"Please don't misunderstand me, Master!"
Ling Shoujing had thought of it a long time ago. None of the Yuanying was an idiot. Even a barbarian like 'Master Spiritual Vulture' would certainly not agree to such an outrageous request.
Ling Shoujing, however, had other plans. He said confidently, "Rest assured, Master. The northerners are not good at water battles, and the southerners are not good at horse battles. Everybody knows that. I don't mean to ask the ferocious soldiers of the Southland of Sorcerers to go north to the Dark Cloud Prairies and get themselves killed for nothing!
"To be honest, despite the toughness of Ghost Qin, they are still vulnerable in front of the elites of the court and the real forces of the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty! However, the inland of the Great Qian Dynasty is now dominated by devils and ghosts. Most of the elites of the court and the high-level Cultivators are stalled by the devils, wolves, and ghosts and are unable to move at all. That is why Ghost Qin has a chance to take advantage of the situation!
"If the elites of the court and the main forces of the Cultivators are relocated to the north, the devils and ghosts in the inland will be out of control and expand. Won't it be the civilians who suffer in the end?
"Therefore, I am suggesting that the warriors of the Southland of Sorcerers and the Cultivators of the Southland of Sorcerers should be relocated to the southeast to suppress the riot of the local White Lotus Cultivators!
"In such a case, the forces of the southeast Cultivators and the powerful soldiers of the court will be mobilized to annihilate Ghost Qin in the north!"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He had never thought of such a proposal before.
Ling Shoujing continued persuading him. "In the southeast of the Great Qian Dynasty, there are a lot of rivers, lakes, and hills everywhere. The climate is warm and humid, which is quite similar to the forests in the Southland of Sorcerers. I don't think that there will be any problem of acclimatization during the expedition to the Dark Cloud Region!
"Also, the southeast is the most prosperous land with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Great Qian Dynasty. Which warrior of the Southland of Sorcerers doesn't want to take a look at it?
"I wonder, how did Han Yuantai explain the 'White Lotus Cult' to you just now, Master? The White Lotus Cultists are all the most ferocious, brutal ghosts! Their leader, Wan Mingzhu, is the notorious' mother of all ghosts' who lives by sucking other people's spiritual energy and flesh! As the saying goes, 'Wherever the white lotus passes, nothing grows'. The white lotus ghosts congregate into an army and sweep across the land like a tornado. After they passed, dozens of towns and villages were swept away. Not just the living people, even the chickens and dogs were all transformed into brutal ghosts. It was a tragedy that once happened in the human world!
"Slaying evil is the unshirkable responsibility of the Cultivators of our generation. It is an act of righteousness that we are doing justice for the heavens!
"Besides, after decades of seclusion, Master, you have finally grasped the marvelous techniques and broken out of seclusion. Even if you don't want to leave your name in history, you should at least want to be famous in the world instead of dying in obscurity in this corner of the southwest, right?"
Looking at Ling Shoujing's self-righteous and frank appearance, Li Yao suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
From the perspective of the Xing Yao Federation's' modern history ', if what Han Yuantai said was true, the' Riot of the White Lotus Cult 'should be classified as a' peasant uprising '.
Dispatching the soldiers of the barbarians in the southwest to suppress the peasant uprising was something that Li Yao could not accept.
He felt that his way of thinking was too different from Ling Shoujing's, even more so than his and Han Yuantai's. Continuing the communication would only be a waste of his precious time.
"Got it. You can leave now."
Li Yao snapped his fingers and said casually.
Ling Shoujing was slightly dazed. He did not understand why the old monster suddenly changed his attitude when they were talking just now.
However, he did not dare say anything, fearing that the old monster would be infuriated. Besides, the old monster did not refuse him on the spot, which meant that there was still room for negotiation. He could always negotiate the terms later.
Therefore, he bowed deeply and retreated with his daughter.
"Wait."
Li Yao suddenly said, "You can go. Your daughter stays here."
Ling Shoujing staggered and was dumbfounded. Cold sweat was popping up on his forehead.
Ling Lanyin's lips slightly opened, but she couldn't help but shudder.
"Well … Well … My daughter …"
Under Li Yao's aggressive gaze, Ling Shoujing completely panicked, not knowing what he should do.
Ling Lanyin, as a female Cultivator from the Jin Dan School, was rather proud. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down very soon and said in a low voice, "Rest assured, father. Master Spiritual Vulture is a well-respected senior whose name resounded in the Southland of Sorcerers a hundred years ago. With him here, do I need to worry that my daughter will run into any danger?"
Li Yao smiled. "You do know how to talk, kid. Rest assured. I am not 'well-respected' at all, but I will not trouble a Jin Dan School kid like you. I'm told that you are one of the most distinguished young disciples of the Purple Pole Sword Sect in recent decades. I'm only keeping you here because I want to ask you about the Purple Pole Sword Sect!"
The father and the daughter looked at each other and were finally reassured.
On second thought, although Master Spiritual Vulture was best known for his brutality and brutality, he was never known to be a lecherous man.
Besides, he had to consider the reputation of the 'Purple Pole Sword Sect' more or less. He would not completely piss off the Purple Pole Sword Sect just for a moment of pleasure, would he?
The Purple Pole Sword Sect, the greatest reliance of the Ling family, was at a critical moment because it was involved in Wang Xi's case. If they could get the help of such an old, immeasurable monster, it would certainly be the most timely help that they could ask for!
Thinking about that, Ling Shoujing gave his daughter a few instructions and left the garden uneasily.
