After thinking it through, Lu Xiufu felt that his mind was clear, and his strength had increased again. If it weren't for the fact that the Human Sovereign Realm only had one Karmic Fruit, he would have been in a much better position.
He even felt that he could touch the edge of that position.
But he quickly calmed down and asked, "What is Ye Tianze doing now?"
Lu Ran was no longer as nervous as before. "He led the Seven Tiger Tribes and defeated the foreign tribes. Then he fought the Sky Sword Elder. It's said that he defeated the Sky Sword Elder but didn't kill him in the end. That's why the Sky Sword Elder resorted to guerrilla warfare and kept attacking his strongholds. Even though he won a great victory, he can't send out experts to excavate those resources."
"Sky Sword?"
Lu Xiufu frowned. "He's strong, but unfortunately, he's cold-hearted and useless. Ye Tianze can't always be on guard against him!"
"That can't be helped. Even in the Great Five Alliance, not to mention Stone City, there might not be an expert who can contend with the Sky Sword Elder."
Lu Ran said, "I'm afraid only those old monsters on the mountain can keep the Sky Sword Elder in check. But those people can't leave the mountain."
Lu Xiufu thought about it. He wanted to send someone to help Ye Tianze, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
If Ye Tianze could survive such a dangerous situation, how could he achieve great things if he couldn't even deal with the Sky Sword Elder?
However, just as he was having this thought, he suddenly frowned and raised his hand to slap Lu Ran.
Lu Ran trembled all over. He didn't expect Lord White Tiger to suddenly attack him. But in front of a peak great emperor, he had no right to resist. He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Slap!
There was a loud noise. Lu Ran felt the wind blow past his ears. There was a loud noise behind him, followed by several coughs.
He opened his eyes and found that he wasn't dead. He looked back and saw a young man coughing up blood.
Lu Ran was shocked when he saw his face. "You … Why are you in the Human Emperor Palace? Weren't you at Mount Buzhou?"
The young man coughed a few times and said, "If I didn't come, you guys would have killed me!"
Lu Ran hurried over to help him up. Lu Xiufu, on the other hand, was expressionless as he said, "I used less than ten percent of my strength in that slap. It won't kill him."
The young man looked at Lu Xiufu and realized that the current Lu Xiufu was very different from the Lu Xiufu he had met before.
This young man was none other than Ye Tianze. He had rushed over from Buzhou Mountain in order to have a good chat with Lu Xiufu. If Lu Xiufu continued to hinder him from behind, he would have a lot of trouble.
He wholeheartedly wanted to restore the hegemony of the Human Race. If Lu Xiufu insisted on going about things the wrong way, he would never allow Lu Xiufu to block his path.
But now that he saw Lu Xiufu, he felt completely different.
Lu Ran helped him up and said, "Sir, how can you be such a petty person?"
Ye Tianze smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Before he killed me with a slap, I can't be sure if he's petty or not."
Lu Ran was speechless. He didn't know what to say to Ye Tianze. He was the commander of the White Tiger Legion, the lord of the Human Emperor Palace. How could he speak to him like that?
"Then do you think I'm still petty or not?" Lu Xiufu asked.
"Well, we'll have to wait and see. That slap earlier was filled with resentment," Ye Tianze said.
"You barged into the Human Emperor Palace without permission and even tried to play tricks in front of me. Don't you deserve to be beaten?" Lu Xiufu said.
Seeing that Lu Xiufu was a little angry, Lu Ran hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Sir, don't bicker with a child like him."
But when he said that, Lu Xiufu, who wasn't angry at first, became a little angry. "You mean to say that I'm bickering with him?"
Lu Ran was immediately speechless. He was just trying to smooth things over. Who had he offended?
Ye Tianze said, "I've always heard that Sir White Tiger is fair in his rewards and punishments. I just don't know if this is true."
Lu Xiufu was also a shrewd person. How could he not see through Ye Tianze's act of flattery? He said, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to fart, then fart. Don't try this again."
Ye Tianze smiled and stretched out his hand. Without any trace of politeness, he said, "Sir White Tiger, please reward me."
"What reward do you want?" Lu Xiufu asked.
"I want the quota to enter Buzhou Mountain. I want Sir to give me all the quotas of the army," Ye Tianze said.
Lu Xiufu smiled and said, "Why don't you also give Stone City to the army?"
"I'm not joking," Ye Tianze said.
"Then do you think I'm joking?" Lu Xiufu asked.
"Even if the army wants these quotas, at most they will just add some new people. There won't be much they can do. But if these quotas are given to me, the role I can play on the mountain will be greater than the army."
Ye Tianze said.
"Why don't you just say that the army is a bunch of trash?" Lu Xiufu said coldly.
Seeing that the two of them were at odds with each other, Lu Ran broke out in cold sweat. He thought that Ye Tianze was too bold. He actually dared to speak to Sir White Tiger like that.
"They're not trash. After all, there's still the Great Five Alliance at the bottom," Ye Tianze said.
As soon as he said that, the hall was filled with killing intent. Lu Ran felt as if he had fallen into hell. One could see White Tiger's current mood.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiufu asked.
"Didn't Sir just say that you want to exchange Stone City with me?"
Ye Tianze said. "Alright, let's make an exchange. I'll give you all the strongholds on the mountain, and you'll give me White Tiger's position. How about that?"
"How dare you!"
Lu Ran shouted angrily. He did not expect Ye Tianze to be so bold. "The position of White Tiger was personally conferred by the Human Emperor. How can a child like you covet it? Quickly kneel down and admit your guilt to Sir!"
Although Lu Ran shouted, he was actually trying to protect Ye Tianze. If it were anyone else, they would have been slapped to death by Lu Xiufu.
No matter how good his temper was, he still had a bottom line.
Who would have thought that not only did Ye Tianze not appreciate his kindness, he even sneered. "My wife is Zhu Que. Logically speaking, she should be on the same level as Lord White Tiger. I'm also the South Vanquishing King personally conferred by the Human Emperor. In terms of status, I'm not any lower than Lord White Tiger. Since he can sit, why can't I?"
Lu Ran looked at him speechlessly. This was a world where the strong were respected. You're talking to me about status? Status was also built with strength.
How could it be the same?
Lu Xiufu did not say a word, but Lu Ran felt that the air in the hall had frozen. This was not Mount Buzhou.
If Ye Tianze was in Mount Buzhou, Lu Xiufu would have to put in a lot of effort to kill him.
This was the Human Emperor Palace. Lu Xiufu, who was at the peak of the Emperor Realm, could kill Ye Tianze with just a thought.
Do you really want to die by going against Lu Xiufu here?
But no matter how many glances he gave to Ye Tianze, not only did Ye Tianze not respond, but his eyes became even fiercer.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed, followed by White Tiger's hearty laughter.
Lu Ran turned around and looked at White Tiger in confusion.
"The position is yours." Lu Xiufu said, "But if you can't do anything, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
