NOVPUB"Taiyi entered the Da Yan Imperial Palace, praised and did not mention names, ascended the hall with sword and shoes!"
Yan Xingchen and Li Yu were not very concerned about these things, as these were very standard demands.
He, the king of Nanli, should not need to kneel to Emperor Donghua.
Xu Yaofeng continued to introduce, "The West Desert Buddhist Sect will distribute ten percent shares, the Demon Clan will have ten percent shares, the Sword Travel Palace will have fifteen percent shares, and our Jiguang Sect will have ten percent shares."
"The Dragon Palace will have five percent shares, Da Yan, the Immortal Court, and the Heavenly Master Mansion combined will have twenty percent shares."
"The remaining ten percent will be left to Senior Taiyi for discretionary allocation, to prevent contingencies, resolve the Blood Disaster, and quell rebellions."
"At the same time, Da Yan, the Immortal Court, and the Heavenly Master Mansion must acknowledge Jiguang Sect’s status as a legitimate sect, not a heretical one!"
What Xu Yaofeng was saying was just a rough outline, the actual negotiation details were far more complex, involving the power structure of the Death Realm, the status of disciples from other Great Sects, and the positions they would hold.
But these matters did not warrant personal exchanges from representatives like them, their task was merely to decide on a general framework.
Ji Ru, listening to Xu Yaofeng’s words, suddenly recalled the quotas that Senior Taichu had mentioned before; these were somewhat different from what Senior Taichu had said.
What exactly was Xu Yaofeng thinking?
Pondering over this, her gaze landed on Chen Qing; this plan must have been discussed between Chen Qing and Xu Yaofeng.
What were they trying to do?
Twenty percent, how could the Heavenly Master Mansion and the Immortal Court possibly agree?
Li Yu was the first to speak, "No way, only twenty percent? We cannot acknowledge Jiguang Sect’s status as a legitimate sect!"
Yan Xingchen retorted coldly, "Although defeated, accepting Jiguang Sect’s status as a legitimate sect is impossible!"
Chen Qing angrily replied, "Fine, it seems you still don’t think you have lost, then we can continue the fight!"
"My life span is long, I can play with you slowly here, the previous Master of the Mortal World stayed in the Death Realm for sixty years!"
"I can stay for six hundred years, or even a thousand!"
"I’m very curious, if I stayed in the Death Realm for a thousand years, what would be the consequence if Da Yan, the Heavenly Master Mansion, and the Immortal Court did not have a Mystic Gate Realm for a thousand years?"
Chen Qing reached out to caress the Heavenly Punishment beside him, "At worst, I will cut you all down today, and still be able to contract the Six Dao Ghosts!"
Ji Ru seemed to understand something and argued, "My death is not worth mentioning!"
"But twenty percent is still too little!"
Chen Qing laughed heartily, "It seems you haven’t been beaten into submission yet."
"I can give you an opportunity, a chance to fight for more shares!"
"Da Yan, the Immortal Court, the Heavenly Master Mansion, if any one of you can take seven moves from me without dying!"
"I will not only give you the ten percent I hold, but also throw in Ji Dang’s King Gu, and King’s Way 79’s Iron Horse Ice River as a bonus!"
Xu Yaofeng cast a meaningful glance at Ji Ru; at this moment, Ji Ru finally understood Taiyi and Xu Yaofeng’s intention.
Not only to let her, Ji Ru, gain fame and shake the world, winning the hearts of Da Yan’s people.
But also, to justifiably gift her a river-based King Gu to help her Light Butterfly ascend!
Having understood, Ji Ru said, "This matter still needs to be reported to the mortal world officials, we can’t make a decision here, we ask Lord Taiyi to give us some time!"
Chen Qing stood up, "I have plenty of time, I will wait for you, to challenge me!"
The news just reached the mortal realm, causing a sensation.
No wonder, the words Chen Qing spoke were extremely arrogant.
Using the fate of Mystical Gate Realm cultivators from the entire world as a wager, along with a King Gu.
In just a few decades, Chen Qing had come to be someone who could initiate such a grand gamble.
It was only at this point that they began to feel the weight of the authority in Chen Qing’s hands.
Betting with King Gu, wagering on the fate of cultivators worldwide.
And the cost was withstanding his seven moves.
Yet, thinking deeper, everyone couldn’t help but recall Chen Qing’s extraordinarily glorious victories.
First cutting down Feng Qiwu, then Ji Dang.
Instantly killing the Wind Dragon King, and in one battle annihilating Ying Shenji.
The only Sword Dao Master and Fist Master in the Death Realm.
With the King Sword Heavenly Punishment in hand, looking across the world, they really couldn’t find anyone who could withstand his seven moves.
To battle with Chen Qing, one must at least hold a King Gu or a high-tier King Gu’s companion spirit Gu.
Chen Qing’s arrogance was one thing, the problem was that after his arrogance, there really wasn’t anyone who could step up.
The dragon clan’s Ting Yun was barely qualified, his strength not far from the Wind Dragon King Da Feng, having a chance to withstand seven moves.
But would the dragon clan really be willing to gamble with life and death again?
Moreover, at that time, Chen Qing did not yet hold the Heavenly Punishment!
This was the dragon clan’s last preserved ancient dragon!
Shortly after the news broke, the Dragon Palace announced that Ting Yun was severely injured and had not recovered, making him unable to fight.
The Dragon Palace could no longer bear the cost of losing their last ancient dragon.
A month quickly passed; the mortal world debated ceaselessly, and each time they thought of someone to go to the Death Realm to confront him, that person would vanish without a trace.
Keen observers could see that those people were afraid.
Now, Chen Qing’s might was like the noonday sun, his power terrifying.
He could threaten to kill your entire family, and he would do it.
Yan Xingchen and Li Yu sought out Ting Yun several times, yet never met him, as Ting Yun now put all his effort into canal construction.
As for Ji Ru, they did not pay much attention to her.
Unless more people from the royal family were sent, they wouldn’t have even known of the princess living in the Imperial Palace."
