Chapter 880: Acting Tough by Imperial Decree

The content of the imperial decree was related to the envoys of the Bai Ze and Si E clans.

In short, these two vassal clans of Yanyue had come to sign a ceasefire and a subsequent thousand-year contract, but the process was not smooth.

There were multiple signs of wanting to restart the war. Although this was impossible, these two clans had an arrogant attitude, and many demands were extremely unreasonable.

If this stalemate continued, it would not be perfect for the upcoming ancestor worship.

Thus, in the Imperial Palace hall, someone proposed to ask Xu Qing to come forward to coordinate.

This matter was unanimously agreed upon by the ministers, so there was such an imperial decree.

Although Xu Qing was in seclusion researching, since the imperial decree had arrived, it was not good to refuse directly, especially since it was indeed more suitable for him to come forward.

So after pondering, he got up and left the Alien Immortal School, walked out of the Imperial Academy, and headed toward the Foreign Affairs Pavilion where the negotiations were taking place.

He didn't walk fast. While moving forward, he was thinking about the gains of this month.

During this period, he had thoroughly studied all the inheritances and classics of the Alien Immortal School without any omissions.

Inside, there were not only changes in those divine diagrams but also many insights from predecessors' cultivation, as well as future fantasies for the Alien Immortal School.

These were all like nutrients, merging into Xu Qing's heart.

Gradually, a vague thought appeared in Xu Qing's mind with a little outline.

This outline was his exclusive cultivation technique that perfectly matched himself when he was in the Ruins, created by himself for the Alien Immortal School.

It was just that creating something like this was difficult, especially since the Alien Immortal School was more of a conceptual idea, so the difficulty was naturally greater.

But Xu Qing was not in a hurry; he vaguely already had a direction.

"Still need to perfect it and try many times before it can be finally determined..."

Xu Qing muttered. While thinking and moving forward, his right hand occasionally raised unconsciously, pinching out seals according to his thoughts.

As a result, a strange scene gradually appeared on his body.

He saw his whole body sometimes blurry, sometimes clear, sometimes appearing overlapping, sometimes disappearing completely, and suddenly appearing in the distance.

In addition, the mysterious feeling that the Alien Immortal School Master had observed on him that day was even stronger at this moment. Vaguely, there were some law threads appearing out of thin air around him,

flashing, but he didn't grasp any of them, just silently sensing and observing.

Just like this, time passed bit by bit with his footsteps.

At this moment, in the Foreign Affairs Pavilion specifically for receiving foreign clans in the Imperial Capital, a negotiation that had lasted for more than a month was still going on fiercely.

Inside this pavilion hall, on the left were human cultivators, headed by the First Prince, responsible for the signing of this contract and negotiation matters.

The corresponding personnel of the Foreign Affairs Department were assisting, and there was even a Heavenly King here to sit in town.

This Heavenly King was a woman, precisely the Ruolan King who was rumored to have a close relationship with the Sixth Prince.

At this moment, except for Ruolan King who was closing her eyes with a calm expression, most of the others had gloomy expressions, glaring at the alien cultivators opposite them.

Opposite the human ranks, that is, on the right side of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion hall, sat the representatives of the Bai Ze and Si E clans, totaling dozens of people.

Most of them had cold indifference in their eyes, carrying a hint of condescension. Although they rarely spoke, the aura on their bodies was full of killing intent.

Especially since there was one from each of the two clans sitting there, the whole body emitting an astonishing aura. They were precisely the Heavenly Kings within their respective clans.

Although they were not multi-world Sovereign Gods, they were also in the appearance of one or two worlds, their gazes locked on Ruolan King, carrying a hint of contempt.

As for the few who spoke among the representatives of these two clans, their words were even sharper. Regarding some of the contract content, they not only didn't give an inch but instead went from bad to worse, asking for exorbitant prices.

"This matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore. The areas that have already been conquered, my Bai Ze clan will absolutely not return!"

"In addition, regarding the captives, my Si E clan only agrees to a one-for-one exchange with your human race. As for the remaining human captives, you need to redeem them according to our prices."

"A dignified human race, how can you be so stingy even when redeeming your own clansmen?"

"Also, to increase the friendship between the clans and conduct a thousand-year friendly agreement, the transaction of exchanging secret techniques between clans naturally needs to uphold a fair attitude, requiring a one-for-one exchange!"

Regarding these words, the human side had gloomy expressions. After the First Prince was silent for a few breaths, he changed his attitude from when he was in Yanyue and instead had eyes like lightning.

"The areas you two clans have occupied, if one foot is missing, my human race will release a Sun of Dawn. If you want to try, my human race will accompany you to the end."

"As for redeeming clansmen, although you are asking for exorbitant prices, this matter... my side agrees!"

"However, regarding the exchange of secret techniques, my human race has a long history and once unified Wanggu. How can the number of secret techniques left behind be compared to you Yanyue vassal clans, and are you worthy of a one-for-one exchange with us?"

"This matter is a joke. Thirty for one, otherwise no exchange!"

Hearing the First Prince speak like this, the representatives of the Bai Ze and Si E clans had their auras soaring, and cold light appeared in their eyes.

To them, agreeing to a ceasefire was originally a kind of favor, and in fact, they were extremely dissatisfied with this in their hearts, but the order of Yanyue could not be disobeyed.

So in this state of mind, this negotiation naturally couldn't be smooth, and having such an arrogant attitude was inevitable.

Even in their view, if it weren't for Yanyue's obstruction, if the war continued, although it was impossible to say they would devour the human race, summoning a few more vassal clans to send troops together, at least beating the human race to a cripple was something that could be achieved.

Thus, the Heavenly Kings of the Bai Ze and Si E clans had strong killing intent in their eyes at this moment, while Ruolan King's side also had burning gazes, not giving an inch.

Although she was a woman, her personality was explosive, and she was even more bloodthirsty than ordinary men.

Especially every time she led troops to fight against alien races, there were definitely no captives.

Because all captives were ordered to be beheaded by her.

Even for victory, she had done things like slaughtering cities of alien races several times. Even for her own subordinates, for the sake of the victory of the general direction, when they should sacrifice, she didn't hesitate.

Even herself, if the general direction really needed it, she could sacrifice the same.

The title of Ruolan King carried thick alien blood and madness.

"No need for nonsense. After tossing for more than a month, this King doesn't have that much time. You immediately order the war to restart. This King's slaughter in this battle hasn't been satisfied yet."

Ruolan King spoke slowly, her voice hoarse, and the meaning of bloodiness instantly permeated the entire hall.

The Heavenly Kings of the Bai Ze and Si E clans also had soaring battle intent, and each stood up.

Seeing that the matter had reached this point again, the First Prince had a headache. Such a scene had already happened five times in this month.

And it looked like it was going to break out more and more.

Although he understood that it was impossible to continue the war, he was ultimately worried about the possibility of an exception. After all, no one had ten percent certainty about this kind of thing.

Especially the Yanyue Inspector on the side of the two clans had only appeared in a hurry on the first day in this month and a half, and had never shown up since then.

If this person showed up, this negotiation would probably not be like this. After all, that person represented Yanyue, and the ceasefire order was issued by the three power-holders of Yanyue.

"Why is this Fan Shishuang like this? Could it be that he is hiding from Xu Qing?"

The First Prince hesitated, not knowing many details. So for Fan Shishuang's behavior, he was very puzzled.

And now, seeing both sides being explosive, the First Prince could only bite the bullet, just about to speak to ease things like the previous few times, and then end the negotiation for the day.

But at this moment, a calm voice came faintly from the gate of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion.

"What is the noise about."

The voice entered the hall, and the human side instantly showed surprise. The First Prince stood up abruptly, walking out quickly as if seeing the Emperor.

And the cultivators of the Bai Ze and Si E clans were completely opposite. Everyone's expression changed instantly.

Even those two Heavenly Kings had their hearts jump, rapidly looking at the gate.

Under everyone's gaze, a figure of a cultivator wearing a green shirt, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a handsome face, like a banished immortal, walked in with a calm expression in the sunset light.

The sunlight formed a halo on his body, as if it were also conquered by him, willing to accompany him.

It was precisely Xu Qing.

The First Prince stepped forward rapidly, arriving in front of Xu Qing, performing the salute of a junior student, and bowing deeply.

"Greetings, Grand Tutor."

Other human cultivators also bowed one after another.

"Greetings, Zhencang King."

Ruolan King's side also put away her killing intent. Although she was expressionless, she also nodded toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded in response, then scanned with his gaze, landing on the two clans on the right.

The moment he looked, the Bai Ze and Si E clan cultivators were silent for a few breaths. Following Xu Qing's gaze turning cold, they immediately left their desks and knelt down toward Xu Qing.

Regardless of cultivation level, even those two Heavenly Kings were no exception!

No matter how they struggled inside, how unwilling, how they roared, they still had to kneel down.

Because, that was the Great Xuantian!

"Greetings, Great Xuantian!"

Great Xuantian, vassal clans must perform the kneeling salute upon seeing him!

Even with the status of Heavenly Kings of the two clans, as long as they still cared about the clan, as long as they were in awe of Yanyue Xuantian, then they had to comply. This was the rule.

The rules of Yanyue Xuantian; breaking the rules was more serious than death.

For a time, the humans here looked at this scene, all moved, their hearts shocked as if a monstrous wave had been set off.

Although they knew the power of the Great Xuantian, knowing and seeing it with their own eyes were two completely different kinds of impact. So, witnessing Xu Qing's status at this moment, how could they not be shocked.

Even Ruolan King had light appearing in her eyes. Clearly, there were also waves in her heart.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over these two vassal clans of Yanyue, finally landing on one person, and he spoke faintly.

"Where is Fan Shishuang?"

Through the imperial decree, he naturally knew who the representative of Yanyue coming here was.

"Reporting to the Great Xuantian, Fan King is in seclusion."

That Bai Ze clan representative who was stared at by Xu Qing's gaze felt a tremor in his heart. He had seen Xu Qing fight with Yan Xuanzi with his own eyes and knew Xu Qing's terror, so he bit the bullet and spoke.

Xu Qing didn't commit to a view, stepped toward the human side, and sat in the corner.

"You continue."

After speaking, Xu Qing closed his eyes, immersed in his self-creation of the Alien Immortal School. Regarding everything here, he seemed not interested at all.

But his presence here itself represented an attitude. ===== CHAPTER 881 =====
