"There are hundreds of millions of races in the Upper Realm. Which race is it that wants to compete with us for this underground space?" A Greater Rat Demon-man in a purple robe, with a dark face and a crescent moon carved between his eyebrows, took the lead and asked.
Nie Yuan looked at this person and was shocked, then he could not help but sneer.
Trying to imitate others and make a fool of oneself to this extent!
He knew what was going on and deliberately asked, "Sir, how should I address you?"
"I'm Bao Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Justice. You can call me Minister Bao." The dark Greater Rat Demon-man adjusted his beard and pretended to be polite.
"Oh, it's Minister Bao. My apologies." Nie Yuan returned the gesture.
"Well said, well said. Please answer my question, Military Advisor Nie." Bao Cheng said seriously.
'He took the bait. Just now he was a rebel, and now he's Military Advisor Nie …'
Nie Yuan was delighted, then he said lightly, "If you want me to tell you the answer, please promise me three conditions."
"Impudent! You traitor, you don't want to redeem yourself, you dare to threaten the king! "A group of Greater Rat Demon-officials reprimanded.
"Silence!" Bai Shixin pressed his hand down, and the hall quieted down again.
"Let's hear it."
"First, pardon me for my previous crime of rebellion."
"Second, give me a territory of about ten thousand square kilometers."
"Third, grant me a death-exemption medal."
"Arrogant!"
"Greedy!"
"Push him out and kill him!" A group of ministers said indignantly.
Bao Cheng did not say anything. He frowned, and the crescent moon between his eyebrows changed shape.
"I approve, you can speak now." Bai Shixin reached out again to stop the ministers' noise.
Nie Yuan felt a chill in his heart after seeing this.
He had to admit that he was too far away from his master in controlling people's hearts.
The other party was obviously a cultivation loser, but he could still make so many people loyal. What kind of magic did he use to bewitch people's hearts?
'Damn it, the pile of books I stole was intercepted by Vigilante A, and I even got beaten up for nothing.
Otherwise, I could learn this method of controlling people's hearts, and I would not have to fight alone. '
He suppressed his thoughts and answered slowly, "The clan that is about to descend is the Upper Realm's famous Underground Clan … The Earthworm Clan. The origin of their race was originally a large earthworm that had attained enlightenment underground. I believe Master should know more than I do. "
"Earthworm Clan?" Many ministers looked at each other and then at their king.
Bai Shixin's face turned cold as he frowned.
"You are indeed a troublesome enemy. Step down first. This king will not forget what I have promised you."
"Hehe, I naturally believe in Master's promise." Nie Yuan smiled and left the hall.
As soon as he left, the hall became noisy.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the background of this Earthworm Clan?" Bao Cheng asked first.
"Minister Bao, you're all local Greater Rats that have turned into demons. You know very little about the Upper Realm," Bai Shixin said faintly. "The biggest characteristic of the Earthworm Clan is their unity."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by 'the unity of the people'?" Bao Cheng asked.
"That traitor just said that their clan originated from a large earthworm that attained enlightenment. Although ordinary earthworms are hermaphrodites, they also reproduce with different bodies. However, it's different. It's the only earthworm that attained enlightenment. Naturally, it can't reproduce with its ordinary kind. Therefore, it used a method … "Bai Shixin deliberately paused.
"What method?" The ministers immediately asked.
Bai Shixin did not speak, he only looked down …
The ministers came to a sudden realization. It seemed that the king was rather wary of them and did not say anything.
This method of reproduction was indeed strange. If ordinary earthworms did this, the mortality rate would be extremely high. It was not as if they could become two earthworms after being cut in half. There were many restrictions.
Only this kind of earthworm that attained enlightenment probably had a stronger regenerative ability. It could cut itself in half and still live separately.
"But Your Majesty, if one becomes two, what is the relationship between the two and the original one? Are they still the same cultivator, or two different cultivators? "Bao Cheng asked curiously.
"This question, let's put it this way. The one near the head is still the same cultivator, while the one near the tail is a new cultivator. They come from the same source, and their cohesiveness is unparalleled. They have never tasted defeat in the underworld. "Bai Shixin seemed to have lingering fears.
"Oh, if that's the case, aren't they natural enemies with our clan?" Someone said worriedly.
"No one knows who will emerge victorious." Bai Shixin said coldly.
"Your Majesty, our clan has just recovered from the turmoil, and our vitality is greatly damaged. If we were to become enemies with such a fearless clan, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses. Why don't we ask for external help?" An important minister said with a fist salute.
"Uh, it's a big flaw that our clan doesn't have strong people. If the Elder Ancestor was still here …" A Greater Rat Demon in a white robe said with a frown.
In times of crisis, people would always think of the era when the Bai Clan's Elder Ancestor was in power. At least back then, they never had to worry about foreign invasions.
"Fan Zhong, you misspoke." Someone reminded him.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Fan Zhong is guilty." The Greater Rat Demon in a white robe rushed to the high platform and bowed deeply.
"You're right. What's the use of being guilty?" Bai Shixin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. We'll deal with it when it comes. I have a plan to ensure that they won't be able to threaten us. "
"Your Majesty is wise."
…
Three days later, in the Great Sahara Desert, the Black Jade People's settlement.
"Great Elder, we have business!" In front of a low hut, a strong and dark-skinned man was shouting towards it.
Behind him was a person wrapped in black cloth. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"What's all the noise about?" An extremely old man in a white robe and a red hat slowly walked out of the shack.
"Elder Da, this is the Foreign Affairs Minister from the Greater Rat Kingdom. His name is Li Zhang. He wants to discuss a big deal with us." The strong man said excitedly.
"Oh, so it's the famous Minister of the Greater Rat Kingdom. Please come in and take a seat. The shack is not elegant, I hope you don't mind." The Elder Da extended his hand and invited him in.
"Hehe, it's on the ground after all. It's much better than us underground." Li Zhang laughed.
"Sure, sure." The three of them lowered their bodies and entered the shack. They sat down according to the host and the guest.
"May I know why Sir Li has come to this remote place of our clan?" The Elder Da asked curiously.
"Hehe, to borrow soldiers." Li Zhang said simply.
"Very good. It seems that you know of our clan's reputation. Our clan lives by fighting. May I know what price you're willing to pay? "The Elder Da said lightly.
"It's very fair. For every soldier that dies in battle, we'll provide you with ten items that can raise ten soldiers. As for how much you need to raise a soldier, just make a list and give it to us. A month's worth of pay for a soldier can at least provide for the daily needs of ten Black Jade People. "Li Zhang did not hide anything.
"That's a fair price." The Great Elder smiled.
The tanned man who led the way beside him was already overjoyed.
