Chapter 491: Xu Qing's Friendly Negotiation

Xu Qing's words echoed in all directions.

His voice was very calm, and the madness in his eyes was not intense, just a touch.

Having experienced so many things, especially after engaging in friendly negotiations more than once, Xu Qing was already familiar with how to discuss things more amicably.

For example, the Ancient Spirit Emperor and the God's finger reached a consensus under his gentle consultation. Such a successful case made Xu Qing have no psychological pressure regarding the Near-Immortal race before him.

He knew very well that consultation must use sincerity as a weapon to be most effective.

One must be sincere to move the other party.

The simpler and more direct, the better the effect.

Therefore, what he said before was all facts.

If Fenghai County fell, then why would the Sword-Wielding Palace still seal gods for various tribes?

At this time, releasing the god and ignoring everything was the most logical behavior.

Conforming to logic, with clear pros and cons, this friendly negotiation could have its intended effect.

So after Xu Qing finished speaking, the three Near-Immortal race cultivators in the firmament also looked ugly.

Their status in the Near-Immortal race was extremely high, and they were all ancestors, but even they had to admit that once Xu Qing really unsealed the god, then... the Near-Immortal race, also in the capital, would definitely be the first target devoured by the god.

Because there were indeed too many mundane people in the human capital, and it was guarded by a net formed by countless taboo magic treasures, so choosing between spending great effort to devour some small snacks and spending little effort to eat a sumptuous meal—the choice was self-evident.

Although the price for this was that Fenghai County would truly collapse completely.

But the fact now was that if there were no sufficient supplies, the collapse of the front line was also bound to happen. The result was the same.

As such, the question Xu Qing asked back, "Do you dare?", became a lingering sound, echoing constantly in this world and in the hearts of these three Near-Immortal race ancestors.

After a long time, the Near-Immortal race woman in the middle suddenly spoke.

"You are the first human I have ever seen who dared to threaten us with such cultivation. So you came to the Miling tribe first, with the real purpose of luring us out. Good calculation, good scheming."

"And Fenghai County maintaining its original appearance is naturally better for us."

"So, what are your requirements?"

"This is a negotiation." Xu Qing corrected with a serious expression.

He was not surprised by the other party's compromise. Anyone with logic would handle it this way. He knew very well that the matter was not over yet.

Everything in this world depends on whether it is worth it. He understood this when he was at Seven Blood Eyes. If the requirements he put forward made people feel it was not worth it, then all turmoil would start instantly.

"All resources needed for the battlefield must be purchased at a fair price, and credit is allowed!" Xu Qing looked at the three in the sky and spoke slowly.

"You let me know what negotiation is. As for your requirements... all tribes attached to my Near-Immortal race, agreed!" The Near-Immortal woman looked at Xu Qing expressionlessly.

"The alliance continues, and the Palace Master's proposal to close the tribe also continues." Xu Qing spoke again. This requirement was not excessive. The three Near-Immortal races in the sky pondered for a moment and nodded.

"But you must not continue to slaughter the Miling tribe!"

This was actually beneficial to them. They didn't want to participate in the war. This was also the reason why they agreed when the Palace Master went to talk before, just that now there were some concerns about Xu Qing releasing the god.

But it didn't matter. Giving them some time to prepare specifically for this point could still avoid it to a certain extent, although it would take a long time.

At this moment, the direction was discussed. As for the details, everything was simplified in wartime, and there was no communication between each other. Xu Qing was not worried about the other party going back on their word.

Other alien races would soon know about the Near-Immortal race's compromise and the Miling tribe's near-extinction, so they naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Now that the negotiation was over, the cracks behind the three Near-Immortal races opened again. The woman in the middle suddenly spoke.

"What is your name?"

Xu Qing

thought about it. There was actually no need to hide this matter. It was too easy for the other party to know, so he spoke calmly.

"Zhang Siyun!"

Xu Qing's personality was cautious. Even for information that the other party could easily know, he didn't want to say it himself, especially now that everything was discussed and seemed smooth, it was easy to be careless.

Because he was not sure whether the Void-Returning technique had any fatal blow method that could be used immediately after answering the name.

And just after Xu Qing spoke, a roar came from the distant sky. A figure sped over from the direction of the capital. The speed was quite astonishing, and even overlapping shadows formed in the sky. In an instant, this person arrived.

It was the Commandant.

His expression was ugly and contained anxiety. After appearing here, his gaze swept across the three Near-Immortal races and then looked at Xu Qing. Noticing that Xu Qing was unharmed, his expression eased slightly, and he gave a low shout.

"Zhang Siyun, you have a lot of nerve. After this matter, I will definitely report it to the Palace Master!"

After speaking, he cupped his fists to the three Near-Immortal races, his face revealing an apology.

"The three of you, this matter is a misunderstanding. It is really that the battlefield is in an emergency, and this Zhang Siyun is also anxious in his heart, so he caused this disaster. After the war, I will definitely give you a perfect explanation!"

The three Near-Immortal races in mid-air each snorted coldly.

"Commandant, your human race has produced a good seedling who dares to threaten us."

"Zhang Siyun, you still haven't apologized to the three Near-Immortal ancestors!" The Commandant's expression was stern as he scolded Xu Qing.

Xu Qing blinked, hurriedly lowered his head, cupped his fists to the three Near-Immortal races, and spoke sincerely.

"Junior is anxious about the war zone and has offended you. Please forgive me, three ancestors."

The three Near-Immortal races stopped speaking, each having different thoughts in their hearts, and turned to walk into the cracks.

But just then, the woman in the center suddenly changed expression. She actually spat out a mouthful of purple blood, turned her head sharply to look at Xu Qing, then swept her gaze over the Commandant. Her face was gloomy, and her eyes revealed deep meaning.

Xu Qing's expression remained as usual. He saw that the other party should have unfolded some technique, but obviously... it failed.

The Commandant's eyes widened, revealing hesitation.

"This is, what happened?"

The Near-Immortal race woman gritted her teeth and didn't speak. It was not easy to talk about this matter. She was an ancestor of a race, but she used the name technique to calculate. Success would be fine, but now it failed...

And for her, this kind of calculation was just a spare move. Originally, she didn't care whether it could succeed or not. But what she didn't expect was that failure was one thing, but it actually caused a backlash.

Especially at that moment, she even had a feeling of being watched by an existence in the dark.

So her expression was ugly, and she walked into the crack rapidly and disappeared.

Until they left, the distant Ancestor Mi Ling stepped back a few paces, looking at all this with bitterness. The Commandant stood in mid-air, looked at Xu Qing, and sighed.

"This time you were too adventurous."

"Caw!" Qing Qin's three heads locked onto the Commandant, seemingly dissatisfied with him scolding the brother of its big brother like this, especially since this little brother had just given it a full meal and, like itself and its big brother, could also shine.

Seeing this, the Commandant gave a wry smile and bowed to Qing Qin with cupped fists.

Qing Qin then withdrew its gaze.

"Many thanks to the Commandant for coming; I've caused you trouble." Xu Qing also felt apologetic in his heart. He knew he had indeed been very crazy this time, so he bowed with cupped fists.

The Commandant's cooperation just now also made a sense of closeness rise in his heart.

"It's no trouble at all; it's all for Fenghai County. It's just that next time... you could tell me in advance." The haggard look on the Commandant's face was clearly more pronounced than it had been a few days ago.

"The Palace Master asked you to come back to cooperate in handling this matter, which is trust in you, and also trust in me. Let's go, let's go back to the capital together."

The Commandant said this while beckoning to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded. Qing Qin flapped its wings and rose into the sky, looking at the messy Miling tribe below with some reluctance.

At this moment, the Miling tribe had died nearly 40% of its tribesmen. For a tribe, this was an extremely

heavy blow, especially the two patriarchs of the veins, who were swallowed by Qing Qin.

Xu Qing also swept across, didn't speak, and in the silence and bitterness of this tribe, left with the reluctant Qing Qin.

On the way back to Fenghai County, Xu Qing transmitted an order to the Book-Ordering Division, asking them to notify all tribes again to start material transactions immediately, and at the same time arrange for people to come to this Miling tribe to receive supplies.

Just like that, after returning to the capital's Sword-Wielding Palace, three days passed.

In these three days, all alien races in Fenghai County, regardless of size, were strongly shaken. They heard about the Miling tribe's matter and also knew about the Near-Immortal race's compromise.

While this matter stirred up huge waves in all tribes, Xu Qing's name was naturally investigated. Everything about his past also appeared before the high-level officials of all tribes.

"Specific origin unknown, only know that this person joined the Seven Blood Eyes of Nanhuang Prefecture in his youth, served in the Capture-Criminal Division, and killed countless thugs upon taking office, with cruel methods and good at using poison!"

"Taking advantage of the war between Seven Blood Eyes and the Sea Corpse race, he and his senior brother, with Core Formation cultivation, acted boldly and sneaked into the Sea Corpse race, stole the nose of the god statue, and as a disciple of a remote sect, killed the former Daoist Son of the Eight Sect Alliance, Sheng Yunzi, suppressed all the peers of the Eight Sects, and forcefully became the new Daoist Son of the Eight Sect Alliance!"

"Participated in the Sword-Wielding trial of Yinghuang Prefecture, suppressed the Daoist Son of the Taisi Immortal Sect and a group of outstanding talents of the same prefecture, ranked first with an unparalleled posture, and even shone ten thousand feet in the human emperor's heart-questioning, opening the precedent of Fenghai County!"

"After stepping into the capital, he was appointed as the only accompanying Book-Ordering official of the Sword-Wielding Palace Palace Master, and concurrently served as a pawn in District Bing of the Prison Department with Core Formation cultivation!"

"In the early stage of the war, this person cooperated with the Sword-Wielding Palace Palace Master to handle official business, established the Book-Ordering Division, and his reputation rose greatly. He is considered by many to be the candidate for the next Palace Master."

"On Mount Zhaoxia, this person was like a god descending from heaven, rescued the crisis of Mount Zhaoxia, killed two early-stage Nascent Souls, and let a mid-stage and late-stage cultivator choose to avoid him. In that battle, he poisoned hundreds of rogue cultivators to death, with cruel methods. Anyone who was poisoned turned into black water, body and spirit destroyed!"

"This person is good at devouring other people's Heavenly Palaces. It is conceivable that once he advances to Nascent Soul, he will definitely feed on Nascent Souls. He is a living demon!"

"Looking at it this way, it is only natural for this person to cooperate with Qing Qin to devour the Miling tribe and threaten the three ancestors of the Near-Immortal race. This person's past experience has always been crazy!"

Various information spread constantly in Fenghai County, and Xu Qing's name completely shook Fenghai County.

Ning Yan couldn't help but sigh after knowing these.

"You still don't know, the crazy things this person has done also include disguising as the Black Heaven Son, destroying the Ten-Intestine Tree, becoming the father of the Heavenly Dao, and almost... reached the highest level within the Sheng Lan tribe."

And Qing Qiu, after hearing these rumors, felt a bit dazed in her heart. She suddenly realized a problem: Xu Qing came from Nanhuang Prefecture.

After recalling the gaze the other party looked at her with during the Ten-Intestine Tree trip, a guess that she couldn't believe arose, so the moment it just rose in her mind, it was strangled by her.

"Impossible, this person is abominable to the extreme, absolutely impossible!"

Qing Qiu took a deep breath, suppressing the thought in her mind. At that moment, she was looked at suspiciously by Xu Qing, who was sitting in front of her.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you continue to report the supply situation of all tribes!"

Qing Qiu said 'oh' like a maidservant when she was at the Ten-Intestine Tree, and instinctively continued to report cleverly. But after saying one sentence, she suddenly reacted, snorted coldly in her heart, and the mask's face put on a cold and arrogant posture again. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
