Chapter 1061: Chapter 562 Tunnel Alliance (4K)_2
She brought more than a dozen core members of her territory with her.
Apart from one Legendary Realm Moon Sword Immortal, the others were all civil officers of the territory; she came well-prepared!
“Gu~ Lord, you make a lot of sense.”
The leader of the Han Yue City negotiation team, who was in charge of the city’s commerce and led two major chambers of commerce—a Fourth-order Limit strong warrior named Xie Li—was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
Xie Li was a hero recruited by Han Yue from a tavern inside a miraculous wilderness structure.
She possessed superior natural talent and was once the daughter of a great noble, skilled in commerce and governmental affairs. Even though Xie Li’s attempt to break through to the Legendary Realm last year ended in failure, she remained one of Han Yue City’s leading talents.
...
However,
Lord Daisy of Tianyuan City made too much sense, and we couldn’t outtalk that, really couldn’t!
Our bottom line was exposed instantly.
Lord, it is my weakness, gu.
Suck on a lemon!
The Lord of Han Yue City looked towards the Tianyuan City side—the head of a chamber of commerce with numerous cunning tricks, Daisy, who attended the meeting, the Chief Minister of Tianyuan City, Isloa, and General Duo Lai stealthily snacking by the side…
Each one of them was a genius.

As for the matter of interest negotiations, it was both important and unimportant. A cooperation agreement was definitely feasible; a bit more or a bit less profit didn’t really concern her.
The true value of establishing the space tunnel was to turn Han Yue City into a hub city.
However, to her surprise, the Tianyuan City side eventually offered a fifty-fifty split—
—the maintenance and toll fees collected from travelers passing through the space tunnel would be shared equally between both parties.
She had thought she would only get thirty percent.
“Hmph, I originally suggested a seventy-thirty split for our Lord, but our Lord insisted that the friendship between the two cities be the priority. Otherwise…”
Daisy snorted, displaying a reluctant demeanor as if she had no choice but to agree because of her own Lord.
But in reality, she totally agreed with the fifty-fifty split; Tianyuan City had no need to quibble over such superficial benefits. Favors and relationships were the truly important profits.
Once the space tunnel was established, a city like Han Yue could only be a minor hub while Tianyuan City remained the core hub.
That was the biggest benefit.

In order to tightly bind Han Yue City to this war chariot while also allowing her own Lord to return and sell favors, Daisy also promised that the representative of Han Yue City would be given several deeds to little hub towns.
These hub towns were worth their weight in gold, with land values far exceeding those in Pan Shi City and Tianze City.
Even, that was for a developed future.
Daisy was assertive during the negotiation because she wanted to have absolute control.
Although it seemed that the Lord of Han Yue City completely disregarded the management and pricing rights within.
Daisy said, “The transit fees for the space tunnel could be collected in a manner similar to highway toll booths; we will construct toll booths at both ends of the tunnel. Additionally, the pricing of the tolls must be affordable—we need to estimate the flow of people and then determine the pricing carefully.”
“One of the purposes of the fees, in fact, is to control the flow of people. For merchant caravans and large transport teams, we could have a certain increase in the toll fee.”
These were all rough strategies; more specific ones would have to be developed step by step.
Daisy could foresee that she would become very busy in the coming period, possibly too busy to even attend to chamber business—oh, she had forgotten that she had the Incarnation Skill.
Such busyness was exactly what she hoped for.
She was confident about turning Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce into a world-level chamber of commerce, wielding massive wealth and affecting countless lives, but this process could take years, decades, or even longer.
And the establishment of the space tunnel?
Hmph, it wouldn’t take long before Tianyuan City’s influence reached every corner of the world.
“Right now, this significant project only lacks one last issue, that is…”
“Finding another suitable hub city to establish a space tunnel.”
Once the space tunnel between Han Yue City and Tianyuan City was established, people could only travel between these two places.
If Tianyuan City were located in the vicinity of Pan Shi City, then there would be no issue, a railway extending from Tianyuan City to Pan Shi City could just be constructed.
However, currently, Tianyuan City is situated deep within the wilderness of the Ten Directions Island Domain, surrounded by dangers, and is very far from Pan Shi City.
Of course, Tianyuan City also had its own geographical advantages.
To the north, it could advance into the Red Mist Land, and to the east, it could head to the Shen Luo Domain, with several outer domain passages nearby.
But these advantages had nothing to do with transportation convenience.
Only with one spatial tunnel established, its true value cannot be brought into play.
They must establish at least two cross-domain tunnels to truly connect the two distant Great Domains.
Among them, Han Yue City, located in the Scenic Highlands Great Domain, was definitely excluded.
“This matter is simple~!”
Lord of Han Yue City confidently said, “This public Secret Realm is indeed very rare, and those who already possess huge customer groups of super Secret Realms certainly wouldn’t want to part with them, but…”
“But when it comes to the alliance, such a massive whole, finding one or two suitable public Secret Realms is not difficult.”
“We just need to cooperate with the Officials and choose a proxy Lord, and this matter will be settled. Mr. Lin and the others will definitely support this project that benefits both the country and the people.”
Officials is a generic concept.
Within the ordinary Lord circles, Official Lords, Group Lords, and Independent Lords are indeed clearly distinct. But those powerful Lords who already hold important positions within the Pioneer Group and Tai Xuan Liangyi have on many occasions already been able to represent Tai Xuan.
Much less someone like the Lord of Han Yue City, whose Combat Power and status both stand on the peak of Tai Xuan.
She is a symbol of the Officials.
However, they now need the alliance to provide this public Secret Realm, so the profit gained by the third Lord will have a large portion directly entering the treasury of the alliance.
Therefore, this third person can only be called a proxy Lord.
Even so, the benefits to be gained are still very substantial. Wealth stirs the heart, and most Lords even fail to hold on to it.
Within this massive entity of the Officials, there are also factions.
Even if they are cooperating with the Officials, Mu Yuan of course also hopes that this third Lord can get along well and have sufficient strength to expand their “Tunnel Alliance.”
Under the premise of needing the Officials to provide the main materials, you also need to designate a cooperative Lord?
This seems far-fetched, however, by coincidence, Mu Yuan and Liu Xiyue, the Lord of Han Yue City, both already possessed the ability to influence such decisions.
Of course, the choice of this third Lord must also leave no room for rebuttal.
Mu Yuan had a target in mind all along.
It seemed the Lord of Han Yue City did as well.
The two exchanged a glance, and she said, “This will of course need to be selected from our younger generation in the alliance!”
To be called part of the younger generation and yet be powerful enough—there are only a few such Lords in the entire alliance.
Sword Lord Liushi, Lord Qinxin, Twilight Elephant City Lord.
The City Lord of Twilight lacks a bit in comparison.
As for the likes of Lord Pan Shi and Lord Ice Fist, well, in the eyes of Han Yue, they are still too weak.
Han Yue said, “Liushi has stronger power, and the geographical location of his territory is also good. Qingxin is a softy, but it’s undeniable that she has a knack for managing her territory, and moreover, she’s got connections.”
…
The foundation of the “Tunnel Alliance” had been set.
Who the third cooperative Lord would be still had to be discussed.
Mu Yuan actually tended toward wanting them all.
The limitation of spatial tunnels was not as big as the Lord of Han Yue City imagined; the difficulty was only focused on the cost of construction.
With the enhancements of the World Vine, in the future, the number of spatial tunnels that could be constructed would continue to increase.
After setting the foundation, as the host, Mu Yuan warmly entertained the Lord of Han Yue City.
Han Yue took a stroll around Tianyuan City, and this process wasn’t just about tasting lemons.
She observed the multitude of city defense methods in Tianyuan City, including the City Defense Barrier that could even withstand beings from the Law Realm for a period.
She nodded in satisfaction.
To say where the biggest risk of the “Cross-domain Tunnel” lies, it’s at Tianyuan City. Once Tianyuan City is struck by a disaster, the Cross-domain Tunnel would naturally collapse as well.
Now it seems, Tianyuan indeed deserves her name as the next generation leader; the entire city is not only grand in construction but the internal defenses and enemy repelling strategies are even formidable.
She didn’t go investigating, but her intuition had already given several warnings.
Within this city, there are mighty strategies that even she must carefully handle, and not just one.
You truly deserve it, Tianyuan.
With these arrangements, these many mighty strategies, dealing with the powerful beings from Dragon Sleep Valley, she believed it would be enough.
Supporting the worst-case scenario for a while, no problem.
“Indeed, but the main reason my intuition keeps giving repeated warnings is, standing here, I am only a Divine Soul Avatar after all.”
