Chapter 174 Tianhe's Reaction
Following Guan Bi and Shen Xu, they entered the Tianhe Society's main tent once again. The scene was the same, and the tent was full of people, even more than before. The difference was that the Tianhe Society had placed a chair for him in the middle.
Shen Xu glanced at Lu Qingshan, only to see that his expression had not changed at all, as if he had not recognized him at all.
"Let's remove the chair! I'm more used to standing," Shen Xu said.
Bai Lu asked, "Didn't you want to sit last time? Why don't you want to sit today?"
"The person I was yesterday is not the person I am today, let alone the person I was ten days ago!"
“Your Aoki Society is indeed not the same as it was ten days ago.” After Bai Lu finished speaking, she gave a look to the person next to her, who then walked to the middle and moved the chair aside.
"Xie Yue explained it very clearly to me in her letter. You guys are really good at this. If possible, I would really like to meet you at the First Meeting," Bai Lu said with admiration.
"There will be opportunities in the future, but she may not be the kind of person Chief Bai imagines." Shen Xu imagined Qingyun's expression when Bai Lu said "I've heard so much about you" to her, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I will judge what kind of person she is in the future. Now I want to know what your conditions are?" Bai Lu asked seriously.
Upon hearing Bai Lu's question, everyone in the tent perked up.
Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Shen Xu replied, "It's very simple. Apart from the Sword Selection Seeds, the Sword Selection slots will be divided equally among the five families. In addition, we need one-fifth of the Kun Yuan Breath from your Tianhe Society."
Upon hearing Shen Xu's answer, everyone's faces immediately showed disbelief.
"Does she want to cut off a piece of our Tianhe Society to fulfill her ambitions?" Bai Lu slammed her hand on the armrest of her chair, then suddenly stood up and questioned.
"It's not about cutting, it's about replacing!"
"Now that the Five Mountains Society and the Flame Society have agreed to our plan, once the Golden Rainbow Society also sides with us, we probably won't be able to negotiate peacefully here anymore."
"Can I understand you threatening us?" Guan Bi questioned.
"I am merely stating the facts, not making a threat. The fact that I am here shows that we do not intend to use the same ruthless methods we used against the Red Jade Society against the Heavenly River Society, but rather to use peaceful means to get you to accept our proposal."
"Whether Tianhe will agree to this matter or not, please go back! We will explore the path in the Misty Forest ourselves, so there's no need to trouble you," Bailu said coldly.
"Haha, since it's a negotiation, there should be give and take. Why is Chief Bai so arbitrary?"
"We certainly don't expect that simply showing us the way will make Tianhe accept our proposal, so I've prepared some other things to increase our sincerity."
"How does Chief Bai think of this condition, that you can enter the Kunyuan Palace without lifting a finger?" Shen Xu said with a smile.
"What did you say?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Chief Bai, there's no need to doubt me. I wouldn't joke about this. I think if you try to force your way into the Kunyuan Palace, the amount of flesh bitten off by those demonic beasts will probably be no less than the amount of flesh we need to exchange."
And can you guarantee that you'll definitely get in? Even if you do get in, how many of you here will actually be able to enter the Condensation Pool?
"But I can allow all of you here to enter that Condensation Pool. I think it's not unreasonable to offer your support in exchange for such a condition!" Shen Xu said slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, everyone present fell silent. They couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't become stepping stones for others when they entered the Kunyuan Palace.
"This is unbelievable, please forgive me for not being able to believe you," Guan Bi said, shaking her head.
Seeing the obvious suspicion in the eyes of the people around him, Shen Xu smiled and said, "I wonder if you all would allow me to perform a small illusion here, and what you want is inside."
"You mean you..."
"Chief Bai, you only need to answer whether you can or not. If you can't, I can leave Tianhe Society right now," Shen Xu interrupted Bai Lu.
Bai Lu suppressed her excitement and replied, "Alright! You can cast illusions here."
"Then everyone, watch carefully!" Shen Xu stretched out his palm, and thick white mist gradually enveloped the entire tent, also blocking everyone's view.
All that could be seen was the rising mist, which then revealed a series of scenes before their eyes. These were the scenes of the Kunyuan Palace that Shen Xu had seen earlier, and he even gave a close-up of the gate of the Kunyuan Palace.
But the thick fog quickly dissipated inside the tent, revealing the utterly shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
"How... how did you get in?" someone asked, somewhat incredulously.
“Originally, our Qingmu Society could have monopolized this Kunyuan Palace, but now we’ve given it to you. I feel we’ve done more than enough for you, so I hope you’ll seriously consider our proposal,” Shen Xu said with a smile.
“This is a very important matter, and we are afraid we cannot make a decision immediately. We hope you can wait for a while,” Bai Lu said.
"I understand, then I'll take my leave now!" Shen Xu said and walked straight out of the tent.
"The leader of the Aoki Society seems to want a title!" someone said impatiently after Shen Xu left.
"Aside from those five who obtained titles through luck, there seems to be no definitive answer as to how others can obtain titles. However, someone has already managed to distribute the quotas equally, but he did not obtain a title for it. The leader of the Aoki Society is still too naive."
"But she destroyed the Red Jade Society and allowed the Green Wood Society to take its place. With that added in, it's hard to say."
"The question now is, should we help them or not?"
"You're wrong. We have no choice but to help them. The fate of the Red Jade Society is clear. Even we probably can't withstand their attacks."
"Most importantly, their terms are very attractive!"
"Using both kindness and severity, what kind of person is the leader of the Aoki Society?" Guan Bi murmured.
"You're all mistaken. The real power isn't the leader of the Aoki-kai, but the man wearing the demon mask."
When he first came, he probably hadn't yet joined the rest of the Aoki Society, but he already knew about their predicament. He then decisively brought up the information from the Kunyuan Palace to buy time for the Aoki Society.
Moreover, I think he discovered the Kunyuan Palace all by himself, and he probably figured out the way to get in on his own. In other words, he single-handedly helped the Qingmu Society overcome the obstacles we faced here.
In Xie Yue's letter to me, she wrote that the evil spirit had mastered the sixth wave of the Overlapping Wave Sword Technique, and with a single strike, he sent the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators who had violated the rules back to Heavenly Sword Plaza. "Bai Lu said slowly.
"Sixfold Waves!!" The members of the Tianhe Sword Sect all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Chief, are you sure it's the Sixfold Wave?"
"Impossible! Almost no one can master the Sixth Wave Technique in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and even if they could, they couldn't possibly use it in actual combat!"
“Junior Brother Shen, it really is you!” Lu Qingshan’s gaze turned deep.
"The Five Waves were definitely not as powerful as Xie Yue described, nor could they possibly damage the Yuan Armor of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. The reason why they were willing to disband the Red Jade Society was largely due to the strength of the evil spirits."
"Since the evil spirit knows the Overlapping Waves Sword Technique, he must be from the territory of my Heavenly River Sword Sect, but I have never heard of such a powerful person before!" Bai Lu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
