I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 327 - 323: Negotiation (4) Request for Monthly Ticket, Request for Recommendation\'

Looking at the two brothers standing together, blaming him, Old Xu felt both irritated and amused, especially by their fearful words of being cheated, which touched him deeply.

But both of them forgot how difficult it was for him, who possessed the Tongming Sword Body, to accept and acknowledge someone. Once he did, it meant he treated them as close as kin. And what was there to haggle over with his own kin? This was the main reason why Old Xu was indifferent to losses.

However, given the current situation, he definitely had to accept these resources. If he didn’t, who knew what punishment awaited him? As for how much he would accept, the world wandering Xu still possessed his own judgement: “Even if Big Brother insists on giving, I can’t take five million divine medicinal herbs a year, so this is what I’ll do. One million a year is enough for me to expand my power, I won’t take a single one more.”

This was the first time they had seen someone complain about having too many resources. Ji Fu laughed bitterly: “You really put your big brother to shame with this attitude.”

“Come on now, Big Brother, there’s no need for such words, we’re all brothers— ” Old Xu joked, as he scratched his head.

“Enough! Are we negotiating or not!” Tang Luo couldn’t bear to watch the two frolic around any longer, and hastily interrupted.

Ji Fu, who had previously been sincere, let his face turn cold as he turned to Tang Luo, and said ominously, “We’ve negotiated the profits, now we just need to transport the goods and suppress the Blood God. What else is there to discuss?”

“How can there be nothing else to discuss!?” Tang Luo exclaimed in panic, “You’re not thinking of sending me away with just three million spiritual herbs per year, are you? Because of the Blood God, my Tang Clan has lost countless spiritual herbs and divine medicine. Now that this Blood God belongs to you, shouldn’t you compensate me a little?”

“It’s not just your Tang Clan who has suffered losses, moreover, I have already pledged three million divine medicinal herbs a year to your Tang Clan!” Ji Fu retorted coldly, “Even if there are millions of divine medicine in the treasury, it will be filled up in thirty years!”

“Sir Ji seems to have misunderstood; these three million spiritual herbs per year are the price you paid for the exclusive rights to the Blood God, from me and my cousin.” Tang Luo calmly replied, “And what about the divine medicinal herbs that my Tang Clan lost due to the Blood God? We need to address that, right?”

“Hmph!” Ji Fu, listening to Tang Luo’s absurd argument, coldly replied, “What ‘addressing’ do you want.”

“Not much, just that my Tang Clan suffered a huge loss this time, and I want to ask Sir Ji for something.”

“What is it?”

“The control method for the Minor Spiritual Realm!”

As Tang Luo’s words fell, the whole council chamber suddenly fell into silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Ji Fu looked at Tang Luo with a stern face.

Old Xu’s expression wasn’t too good either, because he felt this request was a tad too excessive.

“Cousin, don’t be like this. It must have taken the Han Family’s ancestors a lot of effort to build this Minor Spiritual Realm, including constructing a soul­binding array palace that is a marvel of its era. This Minor Spiritual Realm is very important to the Han Family, and it can’t just be given to you.” Old Xu turned to Tang Luo and advised. The few Minor Spiritual Realms in the world were divided among some powerful forces, and the Minor Spiritual Realm were the last barriers of the powers.

Although one couldn’t cultivate in the Minor Spiritual Realm, it worked as a refuge. When annihilation of a clan was imminent, the Minor Spiritual Realm served as a place to preserve the lineage and recuperate; how could the Han Family hand it over to the Tang Clan?

“The Tang Clan, what a big appetite!” Ji Fu coldly uttered to Tang Luo.

“I have big appetite!?” Tang Luo stood up, his hands supporting the table, and said furiously, “A hundred years from now, your Han Family would definitely return to Zhongzhou. By then, would you abandon us, the Tang Clan? Even though the Tang Clan is reluctant, hasn’t it been tied to your war chariot by the Han Family? The Tang Clan is only a worldly family; how can it compete with your Han Family, a holy land that has been dormant for a thousand years? When death falls upon my clan, where can I go to seek justice!”

From the moment the Tang Clan began cultivating the Undying Battle Body, regardless of how much the Tang Clan denied it, the An Clan in Zhongzhou would always consider them a branch of the Han Family—a misunderstanding that could never be cleared. Therefore, once the Han Family prepared for war, the Tang Clan in Longzhou West would undoubtedly be attacked by the An Clan.

Tang Luo’s words rendered Old Xu and Ji Fu speechless, and Tang Luo continued, “I don’t want to monopolize the Minor Spiritual Realm. This soul­binding formation is extremely profound. Do you think my Tang Clan has a way to remodel it? I just want to leave a way out for the Tang Clan. This Minor Spiritual Realm is located within my Xiling territory, so when a great war is about to break out, my Tang Clan can hide some descendants within the Minor Spiritual Realm, and that’s all. Is this request too excessive!?”

From his words, the two understood that Tang Luo didn’twant to monopolize the Minor Spiritual Realm, he simply wanted the right to enter it, providing a hideaway for future battles.

Because of the Combined Attack Technique of the Fierce Realm, which had the power to destroy cities and kingdoms, just look at how the valley outside Jianglin had become an abyss due to Tang Siyuan and the others attacking it. Once Xiling became a battlefield, countless descendants of the Tang Clan would die undeservedly.

After hearing Tang Luo’s sad predicament, Old Xu sympathized and said, “Cousin, don’t worry, when that day comes, I will surely be there to protect the Tang Clan!”

A real man should be able to protect his family; if even his kin couldn’t be protected, then there was nothing else to discuss. Although the An Clan might currently be powerful, his Xu Clan might not be afraid!

“Hmph, foolish.” Ji Fu looked at Tang Luo’s scared face and coldly said, “If my Han Clan ever launches an assault on Zhongzhou, it surely would be with absolute confidence. You actually think that the Tang Clan would be a prime target, you think too highly of yourself!”

The Tang Clan would indeed be tied to this, but it wasn’t due to the Clan’s amazing abilities, but rather because Ji Fu saw a historically young pinnacle Mortal Realm cultivator. Now, given his selfish and cunning character, he would certainly be a usable force a hundred years later. The Tang Clan was nothing more than an accessory, with dozens of Fierce Realm squadrons scattered amongst the nobles’ conflicts; it wasn’t worth mentioning.

“Since Sir Ji is so domineering, let’s not haggle over this. Can you teach me the controlling method for the realm?” Tang Luo courteously asked Ji Fu.

Upon hearing this, Old Xu also backed him up, “Yes, Big Brother, my cousin doesn’t want to take over the Minor Spiritual Realm, he just seeks a place of refuge. The Minor Spiritual Realm is still under the Han Family’s control, consider it rented.”

Ji Fu glanced at Old Xu and said to Tang Luo, “Alright then, for the sake of my second brother, I’ll hand over the control method for the Minor Spiritual Realm to your Tang Clan, and the Boundary Breaking Stone will be stored in your Tang Clan.”

“So generous!” Tang Luo laughed, “Thankyou, Sir Ji!”

“Don’t rush to thank me.” Ji Fu waved his hand, “This Minor Spiritual Realm is not being given to your Tang Clan for free. I have a requirement.”

“Oh? I wonder what Sir Ji would want from my Tang Clan?”

“When my Han Family attacks Zhongzhou, I expect you to fight for my Han Family.” Ji Fu coldly stated as he looked at Tang Luo.
