"How arrogant!"
The old woman drew her sword and struck out with a speed that did not match her age, stabbing towards his throat. She was as swift as lightning and as insidious as a venomous snake.
The elders vanished from their seats at the same time, silently appearing around Li Qingshan. Six lethal weapons stabbed towards six vital points, weaving into a net of death.
Who could survive an attack like that?
Li Qingshan raised his cup and drank. His clear gaze passed through the forest of blades and swords. Ye Mingzhu sat there without moving. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The blades and swords stopped. The tip of the old woman's sword was only an inch away from his throat. Swallowing a mouthful of alcohol, his Adam's apple bobbed, almost piercing through his skin.
"Stand down. Did I say you'd attack?" Ye Mingzhu waved her hand, and the elders immediately returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.
After hearing Ye Liusu's report, her first thought was "kill"!
What followed were various doubts. He clearly knew there was great danger, so why was he still bold enough to come? If he fought like a cornered beast, just what kind of losses would the clan suffer?
That was why today's banquet was held. As long as he showed even the slightest hint of weakness, it would be a fatal situation.
However, his behaviour was flawless. If he was not a madman, then he must have something to rely on. This feeling of indifference definitely could not be faked.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Mingzhu made up her mind. She stood up and arrived beside him with her hips swaying. She personally refilled his cup. "Sir North Moon, just what do you want?"
"Respect." Li Qingshan shook his cup with a smile, causing the alcohol to ripple.
This answer left everyone stunned. He was willing to take such a risk. It was nothing strange for him to ask for territory, treasure, or women at a banquet of night roamers, but what he wanted was a phrase that was very unfamiliar to regular daemons.
"That's all?" Ye Mingzhu frowned.
"Respect is the prerequisite for everything. By the way, do you want to become the strongest clan of night roamers? "
"What if my answer is yes?"
"I can help you."
This time, it was Ye Mingzhu's turn to laugh. The Spider Shadow Tribe was in a very difficult moment. Losing their territory only made matters worse. Right now, their greatest enemy was actually saying he could help them become the strongest night roamer clan.
Everyone present. They all felt that it was unimaginable, and their gazes towards Li Qingshan became even more unfriendly.
Until Li Qingshan took out a dozen spirit talismans. They were laid out on the table in a row.
"Do you think we can become the strongest clan with just this?" Ye Mingzhu sneered, but she was secretly surprised. Night roamers did not possess the ability to craft talismans, but she understood the power of talismans very well. In a dangerous battle, a single talisman could turn the tides of life and death.
It was fortunate that he did not fall out with them. Otherwise, he would have been able to drag a few of them down with him with just those top-grade talismans.
"Such a talisman. I have thousands of them. Of course, there are fewer top-grade and high-grade ones, and more middle-grade and low-grade ones. "Li Qingshan stuck the ice blade on the table again." I have thousands of such spiritual tools. Of course, they're the same as talismans. Oh right, I don't have any on me. "
With that, Ye Mingzhu was unable to laugh anymore. Her perky chest heaved. The elders' faces were filled with shock. They knew very well that such a large amount of resources would not be enough. They understood what this meant to the entire clan.
Mid or low grade talismans and talismans were not useless. After all, most night roamers still possessed cultivation. In the battles they encountered in the wilderness, these talismans and spiritual artifacts would allow them to gain the upper hand and strengthen the foundation of the Spider Shadow clan.
This would completely change the situation underground!
If it were not for what Li Qingshan had added at the end, they would have even considered killing and robbing them regardless of the consequences.
Through Li Qingshan's observations and his conversation with Ye Liubo, he discovered that night roamers were extremely lacking when it came to forging artifacts and crafting talismans. They paled in comparison to humans on the surface. This went without saying. After living underground for thousands of years, under the oppressive rule of daemons, the various clans still lacked communication. It would be unbelievable if their civilisation was even greater than the surface.
Afterwards, he immediately thought of the great pile of items he had accumulated in his hundred treasures pouch. There was no point in keeping them, nor was he bold enough to sell them. Even if he sold them through special channels, the price would definitely be pitifully low. Peace had been around for too long. The demand for these standard items of war had exceeded the supply a long time ago.
As a result, he discovered that the night roamers before him were the best buyers.
"Oh right, I still have over a thousand hundred treasures pouches."
One of the elders squeezed the wine cup in his hand flat.
"What do you want?" Ye Mingzhu really lived up to her status as a matriarch. She calmed down very quickly and asked the most important question.
"Spiritual herbs, as long as they're old enough." This was also what Li Qingshan had considered. There were plenty of spiritual herbs that were hundreds or even thousands of years old underground. Daemons did not know how to refine pills, but night roamers did know a little. However, what they used the most was the toxicity of these spiritual herbs. They would refine them, mix them in alcohol, and smear them on weapons. It was an absolute waste.
However, in the world of humans, any spiritual herb that was old enough could definitely be used in more than one pill formula. Once they surpassed a thousand years of age, they would become priceless.
"If sir North Moon had mentioned this earlier, there wouldn't have been a misunderstanding like Just Now." Ye Mingzhu smiled, as beautiful as a flower.
In war, people were willing to exchange their food for a gun so that they could finish off their opponents. However, spiritual herbs were not an indispensable resource to night roamers. Their method of cultivation was basically still accumulation and comprehension. Being able to exchange spiritual herbs for weapons was basically for the best.
Li Qingshan thought, If I had discussed things nicely right from the beginning and stated these conditions, this mirror clone would probably have been finished off already. None of us are kind. The weak are not worthy of working with the strong.
With that, the atmosphere in the hall changed drastically. Ye Mingzhu saw that the food on Li Qingshan's table was empty. "Get the kitchen to serve the food. Sir North Moon, if you're hungry, you can have my portion first! Where's the song and dance performance? "
The caretaker left in a hurry to make arrangements. A while later, a group of male night roamers actually came up to perform. Every single one of them was extremely handsome. They wore short shorts and performed a sharp sword dance.
The elders took turns toasting him. They all smiled from ear to ear.
Li Qingshan felt like he was an international arms dealer facing a group of African warlords.
Ye Liuxing's face was still frigid, but she could not help but offer him a toast. Ye Liusu was slightly lost. She was rather uncertain whether meeting him was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Master sure is impressive!" Ye Liubo stopped worrying. Her face was filled with joy. She looked at Li Qingshan so much that tears almost dripped from her eyes.
After drinking for seventy minutes, eating five different dishes, and both the host and guest enjoyed themselves, Ye Mingzhu blushed slightly. She smiled charmingly. "Sir North Moon, have you finished eating? You can discuss the deal in detail in my residence later. I'll deal with the matters in the clan first."
His face immediately froze. "Ye Liusu, Ye Liubo, kneel!"
