Xiang Nan looked at Li Yao and said with a smile, "Although this is only a battle of cities in Crimson Dragon Realm, it involves Renhuang realms. I need to think about it."
Li Yao looked into Xiang Nan's eyes. He couldn't tell what Xiang Nan was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Very well. If that's the case, I'll wait for your good news."
After saying this, Li Yao got up and left. Xiang Nan stood up to see him off.
After Li Yao left, a cold smile flashed in Xiang Nan's eyes. Li Yao was good at scheming. He wanted to drag the other Renhuang realms down with him.
If the conflict intensified in the future, it would lead to more intense battles, or even a realm war. If Emperor Xia's Realm had to face two Renhuang realms, it would be difficult.
Moreover, the price he had to pay was only the Emperor-level cultivation methods that Ye Futian had stolen or the demonic arts of Yu Sheng.
"Come here," said Xiang Nan. Someone stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "Your Highness."
"I'll write a letter. Go to Qianye City and give it to Ye Futian in person. Don't draw too much attention," said Xiang Nan.
"Yes." The man nodded. Xiang Nan quickly wrote a letter and gave it to him. The man left with the letter and headed for Qianye City.
At the same time, Li Yao headed for the Ancient Imperial City.
The Ancient Imperial City was different from many other cities. There was only one top force that ruled the city.
The Ninth Servant, the City Lord of the Ancient Imperial City, was rumored to have one foot in the Renhuang Plane. He had trained many powerful figures.
The Ancient Imperial City had a special status among the cities of Crimson Dragon Realm.
Outside the Ancient Imperial City's City Lord Mansion, there was a tall city wall. The mansion was like an ancient city, and there was a huge bronze gate in the center.
There were only a few guards at the foot of the gate, but every one of them had a terrifying aura.
An old man sat on the top of the city wall. His clothes were ragged, but they were clean. There seemed to be no aura coming from him.
But Li Yao and the others didn't dare to look down on him. He said, "Li Yao of the Dali Dynasty greets you, sir."
The old man glanced at Li Yao. His cloudy eyes looked a bit listless. He squinted and seemed to be able to see Li Yao clearly. "What is it?"
"I, Li Yao, am here to see the City Lord," Li Yao bowed slightly and said, looking very polite.
Even though he was a prince of the Dali Dynasty, this was the Crimson Dragon Realm, not Emperor Li's Realm. He did not have any prominent status here. Furthermore, those who stood at the pinnacle of Saint Plane would not have cared much about the status of a prince.
Furthermore, the person he wanted to see was the Ninth Servant, who was said to be the number one figure in the cities around Crimson Dragon City.
The Renhuangs of other realms did not dare to come to the Crimson Dragon Realm and cause trouble. The Ninth Servant was very likely to be one of the top figures in this vast and boundless land. He did not need to care about anything. So what if he was the son of a Renhuang?
"The City Lord has something to do and is cultivating in isolation. He won't see any outsiders. If you have something to say, I will convey it on your behalf," the elder said faintly, not showing much respect for the prince of Dali Dynasty.
Li Yao's expression was calm, and he did not look displeased. However, if he could not see the City Lord, it would be meaningless.
"Then, can I pay a visit to Brother Xing Chou?" Li Yao continued.
"The Second Young Master is consolidating his cultivation after entering the Saint Plane. He will not see any visitors. My apologies," the elder nodded at Li Yao.
The cultivators around Li Yao frowned. Their eyes suddenly became sharp, piercing toward the elder on the city wall.
Li Yao, as a prince of Dali Dynasty, wanted to see Xing Chou of the Ancient Imperial City, but he was refused.
This old guy did not give him any face at all.
"Senior, this is a matter of great importance. It even involves a Renhuang level treasure, so I hope that you can make an exception," Li Yao continued.
"You can say it here. The City Lord and the Second Young Master will know," the elder said again.
Li Yao looked a little displeased. He looked at the elder and pondered for a moment. The elder was still indifferent, as if he did not see them.
"In that case, farewell," Li Yao said and left with his people.
They went to three cities: Peacock City, Xiang City, and the Ancient Imperial City.
It was not a smooth journey. None of the cities agreed to fight for him.
Kong Xuan of Peacock City refused right away. She could not see anyone from the Ancient Imperial City. As for Xiang Nan of Xiang City, he had to consider it.
Obviously, he had not achieved his goal.
Of course, this trip was also to try his luck. It would be best if he could find someone to ally with. If not, he could only rely on the strength of Emperor Li's Realm.
…
In the City Lord's Office of Qianye City, Ye Futian suddenly received news that someone from Xiang City had come to see him.
This made Ye Futian a little puzzled. What were the people from Xiang City doing here?
Previously on the battlefield of the Crimson River, Xiang Nan had injured Wuchen, but he had been injured by Yu Sheng. Since the battle of the Crimson River had ended, this matter was over. It was unlikely that a battle of the Crimson River, which had nothing to do with life and death, would cause a war between two Renhuang realms?
But at such a sensitive time, he still met with the envoy from Xiang City.
"City Lord Ye," the visitor said to Ye Futian in a very polite manner.
"You're welcome. What brings you here?" Ye Futian asked.
"His Highness wrote a letter for you to read in person, City Lord Ye." The visitor handed over a letter to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian took it and opened the letter. There was a line of words on it.
After reading the letter, Ye Futian put it away calmly. He looked at the visitor and said, "Did His Highness Xiang Nan ask you to deliver anything else?"
"No, His Highness just asked me to deliver the letter," said the visitor. After delivering the letter, he didn't intend to leave immediately. Instead, he decided to stay here.
It seemed that he was waiting for Ye Futian's reply.
Ye Futian nodded and took out a storage ring. He walked up and handed it to the visitor, saying, "I am very grateful that His Highness Xiang Nan told me this. This is a small gift. Please pass it on to His Highness for me."
"Okay, I will deliver it," said the visitor. "Then I will go back and report."
"Very well." Ye Futian nodded. "I won't see you out."
"You're welcome, City Lord Ye," said the visitor and left.
After the visitor left, Xia Qingyuan asked Ye Futian, "What did Xiang Nan mean?"
Ye Futian handed the letter to her and said, "Take a look."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his expression. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and the smile on his face was nowhere to be seen.
After reading the letter, Xia Qingyuan's eyes also flashed with coldness. Sword will surrounded her, and the letter was crushed in her hand.
The general meaning of the letter was that Li Yao had visited him and deliberately mentioned that Li Yao planned to give him the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, Yu Sheng's demonic arts, and Qianye City. Therefore, the visitor came to inform him.
If one only looked at the literal meaning, it seemed like a kind reminder.
But they were not friends with Xiang Nan. If Xiang Nan had refused Li Yao, he could have just said no. Did he need to inform them?
Moreover, the letter did not mention that Xiang Nan had refused Li Yao. It was as if it was just a statement.
More importantly, the letter was so straightforward. It directly mentioned the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, Yu Sheng's demonic arts, and Qianye City.
In the end, the visitor didn't even leave after delivering the letter. He stayed and waited for Ye Futian's reply.
What did that mean?
Li Yao offered to ally with me to attack Qianye City.
Are you going to make a stand?
Let him see Qianye City's sincerity.
It was more than appropriate to say that this was robbing a burning house.
If Qianye City was sincere enough, they would not cooperate with Li Yao. In this way, they could get benefits without having to participate in the war.
"What did you give him?" asked Xia Qingyuan.
"I won a lot of things from the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon. Half of them are in the storage ring," said Ye Futian. "But I'm afraid it won't satisfy Xiang Nan's appetite."
"If that's the case, why did you give it back?" Xia Qingyuan stared at him.
"Li Yao asked Xiang Nan to choose. Xiang Nan sent someone here, which means that he doesn't want to choose and wants us to choose for him. I gave him a gift, which shows my attitude. It's up to him how he chooses," said Ye Futian. Ye Futian said, "Moreover, given the current situation, do you really think we can just fall out with Xiang Nan?"
After all, Emperor Xiang's Realm was behind Xiang Nan.
If Emperor Xiang's Realm got involved, it would be a bit tricky.
Xia Qingyuan said nothing. The situation had become more complicated.
"Princess," said a voice. The Great Shaman walked over.
"Great Shaman," said Xia Qingyuan.
"His Highness is here," said the Great Shaman. Xia Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, but then she looked pleasantly surprised. She smiled and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the group of people walked out.
Outside the City Lord's Office, a group of people descended. They seemed to be an army, and their auras were extremely strong. Almost all of them were of the Saint Plane. It was a very strong lineup.
The leader of the group was handsome and had a dignified bearing. He was smiling at the moment, which made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
He had the iron-blooded spirit of a soldier, but also the elegance and nobility of a prince.
The First Prince of Emperor Xia's Realm, Xia Rong, was an Unblemished Saint of the third level of Saint Plane. He had grown up in the army and was rarely in the palace.
Now, the First Prince was the Deputy General of Tian, second only to the Sacred General of Tian, who was of the Nirvana Plane. He had a very high reputation in the army and was a true iron-blooded prince.
However, at this moment, Xia Rong's iron-blooded temperament was gone. He looked at Xia Qingyuan and smiled warmly. "Qingyuan."
"Brother, why are you here?" Xia Qingyuan looked happy. Although Xia Rong spent most of his time in the army, he would visit her every time he returned to the palace. He had watched her grow up and doted on her like a brother and a father. The two of them had always been very close.
"Now that Emperor Li's Realm is ready to make trouble, and the Imperial Advisor of Dali has brought people here, I am not at ease with you here, so I came to ask my father," said Xia Rong.
"Thank you, brother," said Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Rong turned his eyes and looked at Ye Futian, who was beside Xia Qingyuan. Ye Futian stepped forward and bowed. "Ye Futian greets the First Prince."
"No need to be so polite." Xia Rong smiled and said, "I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance because I was in the army. Now that I see you, you are indeed a man of striking appearance. No wonder Qingyuan …"
"Brother." Xia Qingyuan stopped him and glared at him. Xia Rong smiled and waved his hand. "My bad, my bad!"
