How did Shen Lang know that the White Jade Jing envoy would come? Did he know how to predict things? Of course not.
The reason was simple. The White Jade Jing had sent an envoy to the transcendence meeting, so she would definitely come to Flame Capital.
Of course, even so, it was difficult for Shen Lang's faction to contact the White Jade Jing envoy. She was very elusive. But the White Jade Jing had a base in the east. There was an ice pyramid at the top of a snowy mountain in the north. That was the White Jade Jing's base.
But most of the time, the ice pyramids were empty. There was no one inside.
So, Shen Lang's faction used three methods to contact the White Jade Jing envoy. A few people went to the ice pyramid at the snowy mountain in the north. Some of the Black Mirror Division spies went to Flame Capital. Shen Lang contacted Zuo Ci again and asked him to tell the White Jade Jing envoy that Shen Lang wanted to make a big deal with the White Jade Jing.
According to Shen Lang's calculations, the White Jade Jing envoy should have arrived by now. Why hadn't she appeared yet? Shen Lang thought it was because she was pretending. She did not like to appear in the dark.
Ying Wuque coldly said, "Fine, then wait. I will give you four hours. If the White Jade Jing envoy does not come to protect you, then I will cut off two of your fingers."
Ying Guang, the leader of Stupa Mountain, and the princess of Stupa Mountain did not say anything. It was as if they agreed with what the parrot said.
Then, everyone fell silent. They waited quietly.
An hour passed. Two hours passed.
The White Jade Jing envoy still had not arrived. Shen Lang's eyebrows twitched.
"Shen Lang, are you anxious?" Ying Wuque coldly laughed. "Who do you think you are? If the White Jade Jing was willing to protect you and save you, you would not have ended up like this. Three years ago, you would not have had to run away like a stray dog. "
Shen Lang coldly looked at him. Where is my home? It should be in Qian Capital, but it was taken over by the Ying father and son. Without my grandfather, you, Ying Guang, would have starved to death by the roadside a long time ago. How would you have been able to enjoy the glory and wealth that you have after that?
There shouldn't be a single clan in the world that has betrayed you more thoroughly than your Ying Clan. Not only did you betray your master to survive, you even killed your master's entire family.
"Shen Lang, stop waiting. It's meaningless." Ying Wuque laughed coldly and said, "You are nothing in the White Jade Jing's heart. You keep saying that you are the White Jade Jing's grandson. To a certain extent, the Empress Dowager is your great-aunt. Would the Great Yan Empire show mercy to you? Great Yan's emperor and Jiang Li were cousins? Did he spare Jiang Li back then? "
"Shen Lang, you're nothing. You're as light as a feather to White Jade Jing. Stop dreaming and just obediently watch as I cut off two of your fingers. "
At this moment!
"Master, Master, it's snowing outside!"
They were in the south, and it was still summer. Moreover, this was not the effect of fake snowflakes created by Ying Wuque in a small corner. It was really snowing in the sky above them.
Ying Guang, the Stupa Mountain Master, Ying Wuque, and the others trembled slightly. The White Jade Jing's envoy had really come?
Moreover, she had actually found this top-secret underground city. Could it be that Stupa Mountain had no secrets from the White Jade Jing?
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Let's go and welcome them."
"Alright," Ying Guang said.
Then, the two important figures walked outside.
Was the White Jade Jing really that arrogant? It was just a single envoy, yet it required two mega giants to welcome them together? The rest of them did not even have the right to welcome them.
After a while, the three of them entered together.
The temperature in the catacomb instantly dropped. The place was already cool to begin with, but now, it was cold.
Shen Lang finally saw the White Jade Jing's envoy for the first time. It was not just Shen Lang. It was also the first time everyone else present had seen the White Jade Jing's envoy.
However, this could not be counted as seeing her. This was because she was wearing an ice mask and did not reveal her face. She was also wearing a snow-white dress, which made it seem as if she was dancing in the snow.
"Shen Lang, you tried so hard to make a deal with us. You can speak now," the White Jade Jing's envoy said.
As soon as this was said, Ying Wuque's cold eyes shone with pride.
Shen Lang, you keep saying that you are the White Jade Jing's grandson, but what happened in the end? How cold is her attitude? You are just being cold-shouldered. She is not here to protect you. She just wants to see what kind of deal you have with her.
Shen Lang said, "How about we talk in private?"
The White Jade Jing frowned slightly. Then, a strange scene appeared.
The air around them became colder and colder. Then, a snow-white cold air came out of her body and spun quickly. It wrapped around Shen Lang and the envoy, completely isolating them from the outside world.
It was really too awesome. It actually created an ice and snow vortex in the air, creating an absolute private space.
"You can speak now," the White Jade Jing's envoy said. "What do you want in exchange? What do you want in exchange? "
Shen Lang said, "I want you to be a middleman. You will be the judge of a deal between me and the master of Stupa Mountain."
The White Jade Jing's envoy looked confused. "You don't want me to save you?"
Shen Lang said, "If I asked you to save me, would you do that?"
"No," the White Jade Jing's envoy said. "You are not worth that."
That was very direct. However, Shen Lang had never wanted the White Jade Jing to save him. Plus, he still had an important mission to complete. How could he leave?
Shen Lang said, "What I want is very simple. It's because I don't have the strength to even truss a chicken, and I don't want to suffer any physical harm before completing this transaction. So, I need you to be the judge of this transaction. Before the transaction is completed, the other party is not allowed to harm me in the slightest."
The White Jade Jing's envoy said, "Tell me, what can you give me in exchange?"
Shen Lang said, "White Sovereign City. The Great Yan Empire may launch a destructive attack on White Sovereign City."
The White Jade Jing's envoy frowned. "This information is not enough. It is far from enough."
Shen Lang said, "But I don't want you to do much. You only need to witness and judge this deal."
What he meant was that the White Jade Jing's price was too high.
The White Jade Jing's envoy said, "Yes, your request is not high. It is insignificant to the White Jade Jing. However, if you want me to make a trip, the value is high. "
He understood. A portion of fried rice noodles was not worth more than 20 yuan. However, if it was personally delivered by Ma Yun, it would be priceless.
The White Jade Jing's envoy said, "Shen Lang, if you want me to protect you this time, you must take out a bigger bargaining chip and something more valuable."
Shen Lang was confused. Someone wanted to destroy White Sovereign City. Was this news not valuable enough? Shen Lang did not know where White Sovereign City was. He did not even know if it had anything to do with the White Jade Jing.
After thinking for a while, Shen Lang hesitated about whether he should take out another bargaining chip. He felt that it was a pity. Although this bargaining chip did not seem valuable, it seemed to be priceless.
"My time is limited," the White Jade Jing's envoy said. "As time passes, the value of what you offer will decrease in the eyes of the White Jade Jing. We do not lack anything, and we do not want anything."
Shen Lang said, "The comet in the sky is the one that hit the ground not long ago and caused a big explosion."
"What do you think?" the White Jade Jing's envoy asked.
"It is not a comet," Shen Lang said. "It is not even a celestial body. It is … a product of an ancient civilization."
The White Jade Jing's envoy was silent for a long time. She did not show any shock, but her calmness spoke for itself.
"Deal." The White Jade Jing's envoy said, "It is a pleasure to work with you. However, please understand that we are not trading this information with you. We are simply exchanging what we need."
"I understand," Shen Lang said. "You bought this information because you want to completely seal it off."
The White Jade Jing's envoy looked at Shen Lang. He was indeed an extremely intelligent person. Unfortunately, she did not appreciate his intelligence or the direction in which it was directed.
The snowstorm dissipated, and Shen Lang and the White Jade Jing's envoy reappeared in the catacomb.
For some reason, Shen Lang wanted to do something. The action of tying his belt gave people the feeling that he had done something shameful in the snowstorm. However, after thinking about it, he gave up. The White Jade Jing's envoy was not someone to be trifled with.
"I am willing to be the guarantor for Shen Lang in this transaction," the White Jade Jing's envoy said. "Goodbye!"
Then, she left just like that.
However, he did not even know what the transaction was. Could he bear the consequences if he acted as a guarantor?
Shen Lang quickly realized that he was overthinking things. The White Jade Jing did not need to know about the transaction between Shen Lang and Stupa Mountain Master. It was willing to bear the consequences. Besides, who could make the White Jade Jing bear the consequences?
However, the White Jade Jing's arrogance was as high as the sky.
… …
Stupa Mountain Master and Ying Guang were curious about what price Shen Lang had paid for Stupa Mountain to be his guarantor.
However, the White Jade Jing was different from any other force in the world. What was priceless in the eyes of others was worthless in the eyes of the White Jade Jing. What was worthless in the eyes of others was priceless in the eyes of the White Jade Jing.
Ying Wuque sheathed his dagger because he knew that before this deal was completed, he would not be able to harm a single hair on Shen Lang.
The Stupa Mountain Master looked at Shen Lang. "Half a month's deal?"
Shen Lang: "Yes!"
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Within half a month, you must give me ten sticks of Dragon's Regret, and also … cure my daughter."
Shen Lang: "Yes."
Stupa Mountain Master said, "If you can't do it, then hand over the two stolen Regret of the Dragon and cut off one of your left hands as punishment. I think this punishment is very reasonable, because cutting off one's hand for stealing has been in accordance with the law since ancient times."
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, very reasonable. “
Stupa Mountain Master said, "Then swear on your father, Jiang Li."
Shen Lang: "Within half a month, I will hand over ten sticks of Dragon's Regret to Stupa Mountain Master and cure my daughter Yingying. If I can't do it, then one of my left hands will be cut off, and I will unconditionally hand over the two sticks of Dragon's Regret that I stole. If I violate this oath, then my father, Jiang Li, will never have peace in the underworld. "
Stupa Mountain Master said, "Deal."
Ying Wuque said, "Sect Leader Ren, don't be fooled. This is definitely Shen Lang's scheme. Shen Lang, let me ask you, if you could obtain ten sticks of Dragon's Regret, why would you risk your life to be captured by us and steal two sticks of Dragon's Regret? You could have just destroyed these ten sticks of Dragon's Regret. "
Shen Lang didn't explain.
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Time is very tight. What do you want to do next?"
Shen Lang: "Sect Leader Ren, I heard that your wife was exploring the ancient ruins when she was pregnant? She even barged into a very strange whirlpool? When she came out of the whirlpool, she didn't remember anything. Her mind was blank and she even lost all her consciousness. That's why Princess Ren Yingying was abnormal after she was born. "
The Stupa Mountain Master couldn't help but roar. Her name wasn't Ren Yingying, but it didn't matter.
The key was that Shen Lang's words made his face twitch slightly. This matter was top secret, but he wasn't the only one who knew about it. This Wu Tuzi simply said everything.
In fact, Teacher Wu Tuzi didn't specifically mention this matter. Back then, when Mulan's remaining child, Shen Ye, was in danger, Shen Lang wanted to find a Marrow Cleansing Essence for her. Wu Tuzi mentioned this matter because her situation was slightly similar to Mulan's.
At that time, Mulan was in a long slumber, and her vitality was constantly weakening. On the other hand, the Stupa Mountain Master's wife had lost all her consciousness and memories. She was like a walking corpse. The Princess of Stupa Mountain had never appeared in public after she was born, so everyone knew that she was abnormal.
Shen Lang: "This kind of energy whirlpool can be found in many ancient ruins. The whirlpool that your wife encountered was only a minor one. There are even more terrifying whirlpools. Once a person enters them, they will immediately be crushed into pieces and turn into ashes."
As soon as this was said, the Stupa Mountain Master's face trembled slightly as if some memory had been evoked.
Shen Lang: "It seems that the abnormality of Princess Ren Yingying's body is closely related to the energy whirlpool that your wife passed through when she was pregnant."
This sounded very familiar. It was just like how pregnant women couldn't go for X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Otherwise, the fetus might be abnormal.
Shen Lang: "Therefore, the treatment for Princess Ren Yingying has to start from this root cause."
The Stupa Mountain Master: "What about the 10 Dragon's Regrets? I want to know how you are going to give them to me. "
Shen Lang: "Sect Leader Ren, if I'm not wrong, your Dragon's Regrets should have been developed from the huge ancient ruins in the Southern Sea. Furthermore, the method of obtaining it should be very violent. "
The other party didn't say anything.
Shen Lang: "I have seen the secret ancient base. The Dragon's Regrets were almost completely fixed on the ground. No amount of force could move it, unless the ancient energy control center was cracked. However, a few years ago, Stupa Mountain clearly didn't have the patience and chose to directly detonate these energy cores, causing these key secret rooms to lose all their defenses. You guys obtained a lot of equipment and weapons, including the Dragon's Regrets. Therefore, during that period of time, the Southern Sea had frequent undersea earthquakes. The subsequent earthquake was probably to completely destroy the Xue Family and monopolize the control of the entire Southern Sea. How can I allow others to sleep on my bed? But before that, there was a series of explosions at the bottom of the sea. "
"This is very normal. This is the so-called violent mining." Shen Lang: "Because Stupa Mountain needs to obtain a huge harvest in the shortest amount of time. Any transcendent force is like this. In the beginning, it is violent mining, but it gets more and more detailed. "
Stupa Mountain Master tacitly agreed and even wanted to chase Ying Wuque out.
Shen Lang was very right. After obtaining the power of the ancient civilization, anyone would first eat their fill and become stronger. After that, they would slowly chew on the food and continue to develop.
This was just like the development of industry. In the beginning, one would definitely not care about the environment. Big chimneys emitting thick smoke and waste water, who cared so much? Develop first before governing. Although this was repeatedly denied and criticized, all countries in history had done this.
After obtaining the power of the ancient civilization, they would not be arrogant or rash in their development. For fear of causing severe damage, they would not hesitate to plan for ten years or even a hundred years. That was Emperor Jiang Li. However, his outcome was clear to everyone. Before he could develop these ancient powers, he had already died, allowing others to take advantage of him.
Shen Lang: "Therefore, there must still be some secret laboratories and secret bases in Sect Leader Ren's huge ancient ruins. It's very difficult to open them using normal methods. However, I don't want to carry out violent development, so I left them there. "
Stupa Mountain Master continued to remain silent.
Every word that Shen Lang had said was a guess. However, every word that he had said was correct. This was the truth.
This ancient ruins was simply too huge. Stupa Mountain violently developed it for two years and reaped huge rewards. In just two years, it had developed more than a hundred years and became extremely powerful.
Therefore, Stupa Mountain was now qualified to carry out sustainable development. Previously? Talking about sustainable development?
Don't joke around. Fortunately, Stupa Mountain was so powerful. Otherwise, this huge ancient ruins in the Southern Sea Domain would have been plundered by others. After confirming the scale of this ancient ruins, the Great Yan Empire and the Punishing Sky Pavilion were not just eyeing it covetously.
It wasn't without reason that Stupa Mountain and the New Qian Kingdom joined forces in an attempt to overthrow the existing order and break away from the control of the Emperor.
Shen Lang: "Therefore, at this time, my impatience was revealed. My value shone so brightly that it almost blinded the dog's eyes. Sect Leader Ren, do you know where my only Dragon's Regret came from? I obtained it from a secret base of the Zhu Clan. In addition, I also exterminated everyone on that island. Thousands of people from the Zhu Clan stayed in that secret base for more than 20 years, but they gained nothing. They couldn't even move the Dragon's Regret and couldn't even open the key secret rooms. When I went there, I easily opened all the secret rooms and easily got into contact with the energy control center. As for the reason? I don't have to explain. Of course, it's because I'm too awesome. My blood is like the sun, and I have the highest authority. The door will open automatically. "
Everyone's faces twitched. Shen Lang, how long have you been out of danger? Why are you acting so arrogant again? Trembling? How dare you speak dirty in front of us?
Shen Lang: "Therefore, Sect Leader Ren, do you think it's easy for me to give you 10 Dragon's Regret? As long as you bring me to that huge ancient ruins, I promise to get you 10 Dragon's Regret within a day. "
Ying Wuque trembled and said, "Sect Leader Ren, don't be fooled, don't be fooled. Shen Lang only wants to enter your ancient ruins. He has a conspiracy, he has a conspiracy."
"No, I have value." Shen Lang said faintly, "Do people give up eating for fear of choking? Actually, Sect Leader Ren already had this plan, but it was interrupted by me because I stole two of your Dragon's Regret. Sect Leader Ren, there must be an extremely important secret base and secret laboratory in your ancient ruins. Normal methods are completely unable to open it, but opening these laboratories is extremely important to you. Now is the time for me to create a miracle and let Stupa Mountain advance by leaps and bounds again. "
"Sect Leader Ren, what you need to do is very simple. You just have to knock me out and send me directly to the interior of the huge ancient ruins. There, you will arrive in front of an extremely important secret laboratory. I can easily open it because I have the highest authority.
"I can bring you not only Dragon's Regret, but also other strategic materials."
"Sect Leader Ren, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't break the rhythm just because I just stole two Dragon's Regret."
Ying Wuque shouted, "Sect Leader Ren, don't agree, don't agree. Shen Lang definitely has a conspiracy, a conspiracy."
Stupa Mountain Master looked at Shen Lang and said, "You are really amazing. You are simply a demon. After stealing two Dragon's Regret, not only did you not run away, but you also want to continue your plan of being a captive. You even want to obtain greater benefits! Your audacity is simply unimaginable. You are simply a lunatic. "
Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sect Leader Ren, are you willing to give it a try?"
Ying Wuque said sternly, "I will castrate you now and end all troubles once and for all. This will prevent you from causing even more trouble."
Then, he suddenly pulled out his blade and rushed towards Shen Lang.
"Cough …" A soft cough came from behind, and Ying Wuque's movements immediately stopped.
Sect Leader Ren said, "Shen Lang, you are so crazy and do whatever you want. Be careful not to invite trouble upon yourself."
Shen Lang said, "Sect Leader Ren, I just want to perform a miracle for you."
"You will definitely burn yourself if you play with fire," Stupa Mountain Sect Leader said slowly. "You are a lunatic, a complete lunatic."
Then, with a light pat of his palm, Shen Lang immediately fainted.
… …
After an unknown period of time, when Shen Lang opened his eyes again, he was already in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Where, where is this?
This is too strange. What kind of place is this? He had never seen it before. He couldn't even imagine it. It was like a fantasy world.
"Shen Lang, didn't you want to perform a miracle? This is a secret room in the ancient ruins. You have never seen or heard of it before, right? "
"There are no mechanisms in this secret room. There are no doors, no openings, no signs, no clues, no lights, and no special features. However, you have to open it within 30 seconds. If you succeed, we can continue with our deal. If you fail, then your hand will be useless and can be cut off. "
"Didn't you claim to be able to perform a miracle? Then you can start. "
"Countdown begins. 30, 29, 28 …"
… …
