Eastern Region Human Sovereign Palace, Main Hall.
Lu Xiufu paced back and forth in the hall. As a peak Great Emperor powerhouse and the guardian of the Eastern Region, his premonitions had always been very sensitive.
He'd been waiting for news from Stone City for the past few days. He was waiting for the alliance agreement to be signed with the Wu people.
Although he was the commander of the White Tiger Legion, there were some things that couldn't be decided with just a few words.
The various great powers were intertwined. Half of the million strong army came from them. This was a balance.
His duty was to maintain this balance. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of taking another step forward, but he also knew how great the resistance would be.
Humanity was indeed stronger than it had been fifty thousand years ago, but even more people were content to stay in a corner of the world. They would rather drag out an ignoble existence than fight the alien races.
And these people were the Great Five Alliances, which controlled most of humanity's resources.
"If this kid doesn't sign the alliance agreement with the Wu people, then humanity … will have no choice but to negotiate with the Gods," Lu Xiufu said with a wry smile.
Lu Xiufu cared more about the alliance agreement than Bai Richu. If Bai Richu hadn't been the future White Tiger he'd raised, he wouldn't have frowned even if he were his personal disciple.
He was the ruler of the Eastern Region. Everything in the Eastern Region was his chess piece. The White Tiger Legion was no exception. Bai Richu was no exception. Even Ye Tianze was a chess piece.
But what he needed was for this chess piece to be effective. If it wasn't, then he wouldn't hesitate to discard it.
But he realized that Ye Tianze also seemed to understand this principle. So, although the things he did were out of line, Lu Xiufu was convinced every time. There was no way he could discard this chess piece.
"You've only been in the White Tiger Legion for less than a year, but you've already turned the world upside down. You dared to kill the leaders of the Great Five Alliances, fight the Gods, and even kill my personal disciple. You even dared to disrespect me. I really don't know what else you, Ye Tianze, can't do," White Tiger said.
White Tiger muttered to himself, "If you don't sign this treaty, you will die. Do you know that? You better not disappoint me. Otherwise, I'll be the first to kill you! "
At this moment, someone reported that Lu Xiufu had returned. Lu Xiufu sat back in his chair and regained his usual dignity.
Lu Xiufu hurried over. Seeing his expression, Lu Xiufu understood half of what had happened. He asked, "Has the treaty been signed?"
"I did!" Lu Ran said.
"Oh." Lu Xiufu was relieved. "Did you sign a contract with the Wu people?"
"Yes, that guy … he didn't even tell me. He went to the Wu people's camp alone and signed the treaty," Lu Ran said.
"Haha, isn't this kid always like this?" White Tiger said, "Hurry up and tell me. What kind of humiliating agreement did he sign? I still have to use this as an excuse to make a fuss and teach him a lesson."
Lu Ran was a bit speechless. He said, "If … if he signed a lot of humiliating agreements, what … what would you do to him?"
"Five alliance leaders of the Great Five Alliance are dead. The Heavenly Dao Academy won't let this go. The other major realms won't let this go either. If I didn't suppress him, do you think he could split the Great Five Alliance so easily? Actually, the Great Five Alliance is putting on a show for him. On the surface, it's splitting, but in reality … it's numbing that kid! "
Lu Xiufu said, "If he signed such a treaty, I have to be fair, right? The Great Five Alliance can forget about keeping Stone City, but … I can allow them to kill him openly. He was the one who caused this trouble. If they want to vent their anger, they have to take it out on him. "
Lu Ran broke out in cold sweat. He said, "What if he doesn't sign the treaty with the Wu people?"
"If he doesn't sign it, I'll kill him!"
Lu Xiufu said, "I'll crush him with my own hands. If he doesn't sign it, the Great Five Alliance will have to sign a humiliating agreement with the God Race. When I become the White Tiger, the history of the human race will record that I, Lu Xiufu, am useless and have an illicit relationship with the God Race!"
Lu Ran's expression changed greatly. He hadn't thought of this. Now he finally understood why Ye Tianze had said those words before he left.
But he looked at Lu Xiufu and didn't know how to convey it.
"Do you have something to say?" Lu Xiufu asked.
"I …" Lu Ran really wanted to hide it, but he knew he couldn't. So he conveyed Ye Tianze's words word for word.
"Is what you said true?" Lu Xiufu's expression was cold. "He really said that?"
"Y-yes." Lu Ran broke out in cold sweat.
"Hahaha …" Lu Xiufu suddenly laughed loudly.
"Milord, y-you mustn't be angry. Although this brat is cruel and unscrupulous and has eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts, but … the things he did were unexpected."
Lu Ran hurriedly handed over the alliance agreement. "You should take a look and make a decision."
"Lu Ran, Lu Ran, you are an Earth Realm expert. You've been by my side for so many years, but you don't understand me as well as a brat."
Lu Xiufu said, "Do I even need to take a look? This brat even dared to say such words. Doesn't that mean that what he signed wasn't some humiliating treaty, but rather … a treaty of equality? "
"Milord, y-you … how did you … know?" Lu Ran said in disbelief. "I only understood after I opened it."
"This is why you are not the White Tiger, but I am the White Tiger."
Lu Xiufu said, "What are you spacing out for? Quickly take it and announce it to the world. "
"Yes, milord." Lu Ran immediately accepted the order and left.
As soon as he left, Lu Xiufu laughed again. He laughed for a long time, then calmed down and paced left and right, talking to himself.
"It's been fifty thousand years. The agreement at Buzhou Mountain, the sword that hung in the hearts of the human race and the White Tiger Legion, has finally been taken away."
Lu Xiufu said, "The Wu people? Haha, you will also have this day. The history of the Yore-Wilds will remember this day. Because what you released was not a white tiger, but a dragon. A dragon that rode the wind for ninety thousand miles, ascended the clouds, and stepped on the Heavenly Palace! "
The truth was just as Lu Xiufu had expected.
The alliance agreement with the Wu people shook the entire human race. It had to be known that the agreement signed at Imperial Dragon City was actually only at the northern border. The Azure Dragon Legion would no longer fight to the death with the Wu people.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao Academy had presided over the signing of the covenant after the dark invasion and the upheaval in the Mortal Emperor's Palace. All of the advantages Ye Tianze had gained in the Mountain Sea Arena had been wiped out.
The Azure Dragon Legion had retreated a thousand miles to show their sincerity in allying with the Wu people, but the human race had gained nothing.
However, such an alliance received the support of countless major powers. That was because these major powers no longer needed to send their disciples to serve in the Northern Region's Azure Dragon Legion. They could send more people to Mount Buzhou and send them to the Great Five Alliance to seize the benefits of this place and strengthen themselves.
Although this place was dangerous, it was rich in resources. Most people who came here were unwilling to leave.
But this time, the agreement was an equal alliance. The Wu people supported the human race to ascend Buzhou Mountain and broke the agreement signed fifty thousand years ago. The human race gained the right to ascend Buzhou Mountain and gained a powerful ally in the form of the Wu people.
However, many people weren't happy. East, South, West, and North. Except for the southern border, the major factions in the other major territories were all sorrowful.
This was because the alliance with the Wu people meant a complete break with the Shen Race and the other two races. The human race would wage an all-out war with the three races.
Except for the northern border, all the major territories were about to go to war against the alien races. The Human Emperor's Palace wouldn't conscript outsiders, but the major factions that usually lived like princes and occupied ninety percent of the human race's resources.
On the battlefield of Buzhou Mountain, the Great Five Alliance was in an uproar when they received the news. They originally thought that Ye Tianze would sign an unequal alliance agreement.
This way, they still had room to maneuver. They could use the alliance agreement to claim the righteous cause and send troops to attack Stone City.
This would prove to the alien races that the human race had no intention of starting a war with the Shen Race, and that it was Ye Tianze who had done it alone.
The originally divided Great Five Alliance was once again united because of this alliance agreement.
The new leaders of the Great Five Alliance were restless in the Great Dragon City.
"If we send troops now, we'll have no justification. Moreover, the North and the Eastern Alliance have just signed an agreement with Stone City. If we send troops to attack Stone City now, I'm afraid it'll arouse public anger. It'll be hard to explain to the army. I'm afraid that Sun Qiqi won't agree to move the tavern to Stone City."
The new leader of the North said.
"Are we just going to let things slide? We had an agreement before. On the surface, we were divided, but in fact, we were just fooling that little bastard. "
The new leader of the Southern Alliance said, "You're not really going to surrender to that kid, are you? Buzhou Mountain is our territory. That little bastard Ye Tianze is nothing. If it weren't for Lu Xiufu behind the scenes, we would have killed him long ago! "
The leaders of the North and Eastern Alliance were silent. They were now in a difficult situation, but they could still turn the act into reality.
But the West and South didn't have such good treatment. The South was now under the control of Ye Tianze's Tiannan State. Between the West and East was Buzhou Mountain. How could it be easy to transfer resources?
In the end, they all looked at the leader of the Imperial Dragon Alliance. This guy was newly appointed and was from the Heavenly Academy. When he left the Heavenly Academy, he was only an Immortal Realm genius. Now, he was already in the Heaven Realm.
But his expression wasn't much better than the leaders of the South and West.
"Don't look at me like that. The Alchemy School and the Tool Refining Sect are obviously on Stone City's side. What they want is just resources for refining tools and alchemy. Cultivation resources are secondary. Stone City has given them so many benefits. They are more comfortable than the Northern and Eastern Alliances."
The leader of the Imperial Dragon Alliance said, "Especially the Divine General's Estate. They're dead set on following Stone City. The Divine General's Estate has always been close to the army. Many of the officers in the White Tiger Legion are disciples of the Divine General's Estate. They can't be touched or forced."
"We've all been tricked by this little bastard and Lu Xiufu. Lu Xiufu lied to us. This little bastard and Lu Xiufu are acting together."
The leader of the West Alliance said, "There's only one way now. We'll directly fall out with them. Put up a reward at the Hunter's Tavern. The contribution points from the Hunter's Tavern are counted into the military card. Those unscrupulous guys hiding in Buzhou Mountain won't listen to us, but they can't ignore the contribution points, right?"
"That's right. The Red Devil Cloak is said to be Taiyi's item. Ye Tianze, that little bastard, obtained Taiyi's inheritance, so he'll definitely want the Red Devil Cloak. Those monsters on Buzhou Mountain must also want it. Now that the Human Emperor is weak and the road to the Human Emperor is about to open, these guys suppressed their cultivation and cultivated hard in Buzhou Mountain. Isn't it because they're waiting for this day?"
The leader of the South Alliance said, "The Southern Alliance offers five hundred million contribution points."
"The West Alliance also offers five hundred million!" The leader of the West Alliance said.
After they finished speaking, they looked at the leaders of the North and East Alliances. Unexpectedly, they looked at each other and bowed, "We … we still have some things to do. We'll think about it."
