Plotting for the East Sea

After Song Qingxi returned to the Hall of General Affairs, she replied to the Brocade Banner Song Clan according to Song Changsheng's instructions.

In her response, she deliberately made an exorbitant demand over the stakes, creating the illusion that the Song Clan wanted to use this to make them retreat in the face of difficulty.

It would naturally be ideal if this made the other side lower their guard. Even if it failed, they could still make them cough up a little more.

The deadline Song Qingxi gave the Brocade Banner Song Clan was ten years later. If they could wait, then wait; if they could not, no one else could be blamed.

Ten years was merely the time it took a Golden Core Cultivator to enter seclusion. There was a high probability they could afford to wait, and by then, Song Changsheng's magic artifact would likely be finished as well.

Moreover, she changed the original single match into three matches: one contestant each from the Golden Core Stage, Purple Palace Stage, and Foundation Establishment Realm. Whoever won two rounds first would be victorious.

The Foundation Establishment Realm match was uncertain, but with Song Qingxing in the Purple Palace Stage match, victory was basically guaranteed. The previous challenge at their gates had already fully proven that point.

Unless the Brocade Banner Song Clan produced a contestant stronger than Song Yuqing, they had a chance of winning.

However, Song Qingxing's cultivation would likely advance further over the next ten years. By then, Song Yuqing would be utterly outclassed.

They would likely be able to take the Golden Core Stage match as well. Presumably, the Brocade Banner Song Clan thought the same. All that remained was to await their reply...
