(PS: Sorry for the late update!)
On the afternoon of the 29th of June, Di Renjie and his group arrived at Quanzhou and checked into the Four Quarters Embassy.
Upon seeing Gao Ying, Di Renjie's first request was to personally participate in the trial of the poisoning case, which made Gao Ying feel embarrassed.
This request was obviously a sign of distrust towards the Sui Ministry of Justice. But who was the person in front of her? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one detective in China.
That night, Di Renjie interrogated the suspect.
In just one night, Number 15's identity as the secret agent of [Imperial Wind] was exposed.
Once the results were out, Gao Ying was completely speechless.
Sui Wendi was even more furious when he got the news. He didn't expect that [Yan Huang Alliance] would put on a show of cooperation, but at the same time, set Great Sui up and put them in a disadvantageous position. Their intentions were truly sinister.
Such an action was truly despicable.
Ouyang Shuo took this opportunity to raise the first condition of the peace talks. The Great Sui had to set Handan City, Blood Red City, Overlord City, Dan Yang City, Swordsman City, Luoye City, and Asura City of the [Yan Huang Alliance] as enemies.
This way, not only would it cut off [Yan Huang Alliance] from recruiting people in Quanzhou, it would also cut off trade between them, and it would also cut off the possibility of [Yan Huang Alliance] colluding with Great Sui.
Sui Wendi didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
After being tricked, Sui Wendi bore a grudge against [Yan Huang Alliance].
Di Chen probably didn't expect that this seemingly ingenious move would cause such trouble. He didn't expect Di Renjie to be such a freak that he could pry open Number 15's mouth in a single night.
As a top secret agent of [Imperial Wind], Number 15 shouldn't have confessed so easily.
How could he be called a godly detective for no reason?
Other than that, Ouyang Shuo didn't plan to go easy on [Flowing Light Pavilion] of [Yan Huang Alliance] either.
[Flowing Light Pavilion] was the guardian guild of Quanzhou's satellite city. Before the battle for the satellite city, the owner of the pavilion had already been bewitched by [Silver Hand] and betrayed [Mountain and Sea Alliance] to join [Yan Huang Alliance].
By the time the Dragon Seeking Acupuncture Point exposed the scandal of [Yan Huang Alliance], [Flowing Light Pavilion] and the other guilds were thrown into a storm. The identity of the owner of [Flowing Light Pavilion], Jun Ji Lao's illegitimate son, was exposed.
Even so, that storm did not cause any serious damage to [Flowing Light Pavilion] or to Old Jun. The traitor from back then was still free and unfettered.
This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to let Jun Yi Lao have a taste of his thunderous methods and the wrath of an Emperor.
Great Xia's second request for the peace talks was for Great Sui to revoke the rights of Flowing Light Pavilion as the guardian guild and choose another guild to guard Star City.
As the ruler of Quanzhou, Sui Wen Emperor had the right to do so. However, he had to pay a small price for breaching the contract. If it was done properly, there was basically no loss to Great Sui.
Since that was the case, Sui Wendi had no reason to refuse.
As soon as the news came out, the entire [Flowing Light Pavilion] was thrown into chaos. The Pavilion Master Jun had become the target of public criticism. The old scores of the past were dug up one by one.
Without a doubt, it was Old Jun's betrayal of the [Alliance of Mountains and Seas] that dragged the guild into the abyss today.
For [Flowing Light Pavilion], once their rights to guard the guild were revoked, it was undoubtedly a disaster. In addition, Great Sui was unfriendly towards the [Yan Huang Alliance]. It was undoubtedly a death sentence for [Flowing Light Pavilion] in Quanzhou.
At that time, not to mention guarding the guild, whether or not they could establish themselves in Quanzhou would be a problem.
The life and death of the guild was related to the benefits of hundreds of thousands of members. How could they not be anxious?
[Flowing Light Pavilion]'s actions could not be said to be slow.
On the same day that the news came out, Old Jun was collectively dismissed by the guild and chased out. Of course, Old Jun's shares in [Flowing Light Pavilion] were protected by the law and could not be taken back.
Even so, for Old Jun, it was already a disaster. Without the support of the guild, Old Jun's future as a healer in the game was really worrying. It was likely that he would not be able to make a name for himself again.
Without the protection of the guild, Old Jun was in danger of being killed at any time.
As the owner of [Flowing Light Pavilion], in the process of [Flowing Light Pavilion]'s development, Old Jun had made many enemies in Quanzhou. Those enemies could not deal with the powerful [Flowing Light Pavilion], but to deal with an abandoned guild leader, it was as easy as flipping one's hand.
It was estimated that Old Jun could only guard the shares of [Flowing Light Pavilion] and live the rest of his life in the game in humiliation.
As expected, as soon as he walked out of the Satellite Town, Old Jun was assassinated and returned to the Reincarnation Hall.
After this incident, Old Jun became the first guild leader to be chased out by the founding guild, creating a precedent in the Wilderness. A generation of guild leaders fell just like that, it really made people sigh.
No one knew if Old Jun, who stayed in the Reincarnation Hall, regretted betraying the [Mountain and Sea Alliance]. Old Jun probably would not have thought that after so long, Ouyang Shuo still held this grudge.
Once he seized the opportunity, he would kill him.
The miserable experience of Old Jun made Taoist Priest Green Ox of the [Laojun Temple] and Sword Qi Thunder of the [Tingyu Building] break out in a cold sweat. Both of them, like Old Jun, were betrayers.
Who could guarantee that at some point in the future, they would not encounter the same kind of revenge as Old Jun?
Thinking of this, Taoist Priest Green Ox could not sleep at night. He regretted the mistake of listening to his master's bewitchment. Even so, there was no turning back.
Similarly, the sadness in Sword Qi Thunder's eyes became more intense.
…
Just expelling Old Jun naturally could not change the fate of [Flowing Light Pavilion]. They were not that naive.
As soon as the new owner of [Flowing Light Pavilion], Knight Hao Ran, was elected, he rushed to Quanzhou City and urgently contacted Di Renjie. He said that as long as Great Xia was willing to withdraw the punishment of [Flowing Light Pavilion], they could raise any conditions.
Ouyang Shuo smiled leisurely when he got the news.
Since [Flowing Light Pavilion] was so tactful, Ouyang Shuo naturally stopped while he was ahead. Destroying [Flowing Light Pavilion] would not be of much benefit to Great Xia. Instead, it would incur hatred, and it was not worth it.
This time, if he really completely cut off the source of income of hundreds of thousands of players of [Flowing Light Pavilion], their revenge would also make Ouyang Shuo's scalp numb.
"What we need to eliminate is an individual enemy, not an entire group."
Ouyang Shuo had a clear understanding of this point.
Since [Flowing Light Pavilion] had admitted defeat, Ouyang Shuo had no reason to be lenient. How could Ouyang Shuo rest assured if he did not completely control [Flowing Light Pavilion]?
Ouyang Shuo had experienced enough betrayal, and he would not be so gullible anymore.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo raised three conditions.
First, promote a member of [Flowing Light Pavilion] to be the deputy pavilion master.
This person was none other than a secret agent that the Mountain and Sea Guard had placed in [Flowing Light Pavilion]. This time, he was only moving from behind the scenes to the front stage, officially representing the existence of Great Xia in [Flowing Light Pavilion].
Second, cede 5% of the shares and give Ouyang Shuo the title of "Honorary Pavilion Master".
Although the Honorary Pavilion Master did not have any power, he would have the same status and treatment as the pavilion master. This way, Ouyang Shuo would be able to control this trip at the crucial moment.
Third, request [Flowing Light Pavilion] to merge with [Black Cloth Alley], a guild in Quanzhou, and promote the leader of [Black Cloth Alley], Busybody Mountain, to an elder of [Flowing Light Pavilion].
Without a doubt, [Black Cloth Alley] was also a guild that was 100% under Ouyang Shuo's control.
With these three conditions and the secret agent of the Mountain and Sea Guard in [Flowing Light Pavilion], Ouyang Shuo's control over [Flowing Light Pavilion] was basically guaranteed, and it would be difficult for him to cause any trouble.
With [Flowing Light Pavilion] returning to the camp of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, [Mountain and Sea Alliance] regained some ground in the guild circle. They occupied four of the Nine Great King Cities, which was basically the same as the [Yan Huang Alliance].
This way, all the schemes of the [Silver Hand] ultimately fell through.
…
For Great Sui, it was naturally good that they did not have to violate the contract by revoking the rights of [Flowing Light Pavilion] to guard the guild. It could be said that everyone was happy.
However, when he thought about how he was used by Great Xia, Sui Wendi felt rather unhappy. However, he had no choice but to lower his head when he was under the eaves. No matter what, he had to swallow this anger.
Moreover, these two conditions were just appetizers for this peace negotiation. The most important condition had not been mentioned yet. Thinking about this, Sui Wendi became even more depressed.
