Summoners: One Golden Term per Level
Chapter 493 - 89: City Created in a Thought, Negotiations
Cangjie walked on air, and Li Mu and the others came to pay their respects, saying, "Master Cang."
Although they were all Human Immortals, in terms of both status and strength, they were a cut below.
Cangjie was renowned not only in the Youxiong Tribe but throughout the entire Human Race.
A great sage of the Human Race.
Respect was naturally due.
"Hmm."
Cangjie glanced at the wounded Li Mu and his men, then spoke, "Peel!"
As Cangjie’s words fell, characters appeared out of thin air, forming the word ’Peel’ from the Great Wilderness.
Like a whirlwind, they surrounded the group, spinning, while strands of green light emanated from these characters.
The green light turned into needles, extracting the Law from everyone’s wounds like silk being drawn from a cocoon.
"Heal."
The green light transformed again, becoming green water that bathed everyone’s wounds, which began healing at an astonishing speed.
"Thank you, Master Cang!"
Feeling that all their injuries had recovered, Li Mu and the others sighed in relief.
As expected of Master Cang.
One person alone could rival Human Immortals who comprehended various Laws.
"It’s nothing."
Cangjie nodded, then looked toward the roughly built city, his voice serious, "City!"
Countless sands and mud flew into the sky, landing upon the city Li Mu and others had built.
In the next moment.
The entire city began to multiply and change, as though countless people were rapidly aiding in its construction.
In a short time.
The city that settled was no weaker than the Zhenyi City of old.
Even those like Li Mu, who had spent years in Youxiong, were stunned by such power.
It was their first time seeing Cangjie exert his full power.
"It’s done."
Cangjie’s expression remained unchanged; this was an easy task for him.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Cang."
Li Mu cupped his fists in salute.
"Tell me, what’s the situation with Jiu Li?"
"Yes!"
Once Cangjie landed in the city, Li Mu shouted, "Everyone, stand guard!"
...
Facing such power, Fang Lingyun and the others raised their eyebrows, their tone filled with awe.
"This Cangjie... formidable."
Creating a city with a single thought, destruction is always harder than creation; even their ancestors couldn’t achieve this level.
At most, they could destroy this nearly vast encampment, but creating a city with a single word.
Even Tier Ten couldn’t manage that.
"Do we still need to negotiate with Shen Fei? With Cangjie here, until the Wind Queen and Ying Dragon finish seclusion."
"Youxiong might not lose."
Ni Tianxiong asked.
Fang Lingyun nodded, "Yes, always prepare backup options, as long as Shen Fei’s terms aren’t too outrageous."
"We can agree."
Fang Lingyun spoke calmly, "The strength of the aristocratic family is not about brute force; if needed, we can lie low while Shen Fei is present.
Empires come and go, but aristocratic families stand firm."
"Even when Meng Zhengguo allied with many Tier Ten, they only coexisted with us."
"Even if Shen Fei comes to power, can he wipe us all out?"
Ni Tianxiong nodded; this is why the aristocratic families and the Breaking Abyss Army fight but never break apart.
They are interdependent.
"I’ve already asked Fang Ruxue to make contact; it’s just a matter of terms then."
"The Ancient Secret Realm will always be just an Ancient Secret Realm, and the people or things inside cannot easily affect the present world."
"Only tangible benefits are real."
...
Jiuli Army.
Shen Fei looked at Fang Ruxue who came to find him and listened to her words, raising his eyebrows.
"Reconciliation? At this moment, ... are they joking?"
Shen Fei wasn’t surprised that Fang Ruxue could connect with Fang Lingyun and the others.
After all, it was a huge force that existed since the beginning of the Professional era.
Having special tools to interfere with this Ancient Secret Realm is normal.
Even the people of the Breaking Abyss Army could leave at critical moments.
But he didn’t expect Fang Ruxue to actually be summoned by Fang Lingyun, saying they intended to reconcile.
They even intended to trade.
Everyone now knew that these people gathered to use the unique rules of the Ancient Secret Realm to kill him, right?
Now feeling uneasy, they want reconciliation?
"Do they have any proposed terms?"
"Leader, I’m just relaying the message," Fang Ruxue said.
"After we leave, the leader may take one Mythical Object each from the Dugu, Fang, and Ni families, and henceforth wherever the leader intervenes,
they will naturally retreat."
"They surely are generous."
Shen Fei heard of the three Mythical Objects; knowing that back then when his mentor Luo Ran and Meng Zhengguo personally confronted the Holy See,
they only got two or three Mythical Objects, and just agreeing to reconciliation would secure him three Mythical Objects.
That’s to say.
The depth of these aristocratic families is indeed impressive, and there’s another term after that.
As long as he is involved, the aristocratic families will retreat in the future.
In other words, as long as he undertakes any actions, the aristocratic families will not oppose them.
"You go back first; Dugu Hongchen is a Demon and has already been wiped out by the Breaking Abyss Army."
Shen Fei spoke calmly, and before Fang Ruxue could show surprise, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Uh, Leader. I do think reconciliation is possible; an aristocratic family is like a centipede, not easily killed.
Even if I became the leader, I barely know much about the Fang Family, and I can’t explain it clearly.
But the information held by the aristocratic families is far greater than what the Breaking Abyss Army currently knows."
"The Breaking Abyss Army is strong, but the numerous aristocratic families have survived for long and possess information the Breaking Abyss Army cannot match."
Fang Ruxue cautiously said, "If the leader wants to know more in the future, the aristocratic family might be a good channel."
"Besides, they haven’t made any moves yet."
After speaking, Fang Ruxue kept her lips tightly shut; ever since the leader became the Jiu Li Great Priest,
his presence grew more imposing, unlike someone of his age.
Shen Fei nodded, "This can be discussed, but three Mythical Objects are too few."
"If you have the means, I hope to meet with them in person."
"Then I’ll get in contact."
"Tell them, I only wish to talk with the people of Wu Xia, and the rest should think it over."
Shen Fei spoke, indeed considering negotiation with those from the aristocratic families, but not to let them go.
Firstly, he never really took them seriously, and after the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable became Chi You,
the opponents in this Ancient Secret Realm were no longer those people.
Secondly, if the aristocratic families had other means, it would indeed be difficult to harm them significantly.
As long as they paid a big enough price, Shen Fei could let them off.
Of course, it’s just those from the aristocratic families.
As for those from America, forget it.
Although according to Qin Wan, those on Blue Star might be remnants of the Divine Dynasty,
in Shen Fei’s view, they were still an Alien Race.
