As time went on, after receiving a reply from Misty Rain Tower, Dai Tianfeng took a guard and left the palace, heading towards Misty Rain Tower.
Arriving at the entrance of Misty Rain Tower, he pushed open the Misty Rain Tower and glanced around. Finding no one inside, he chuckled softly, "The people of Misty Rain Tower Misty Rain Tower are indeed cautious. Well, let's wait here for them and see what kind of person is in charge of Misty Rain Tower."
Dai Tianfeng sat down in the Misty Rain Tower, waiting quietly, while the guards stood behind him expressionlessly.
About two hours later, Dai Tianfeng opened his eyes and looked towards the door. He saw two people walking in unhurriedly.
One of them was dressed in black and wore a mask, revealing only his eyes. Moreover, all Dai Tianfeng could see in his eyes was indifference.
The other person was completely covered by a cloak, obscuring his face, but he lagged half a step behind the person in front and entered the Misty Rain Tower.
After entering the Misty Rain Tower, Bi Zihan also looked at Dai Tianfeng sitting in front of him. Dai Tianfeng had an air of authority that could only come from someone who had been in a high position for a long time, and there was also a strong sense of admiration in Dai Tianfeng's eyes.
Bi Zihan sat down in front of Dai Tianfeng, while Demon Scythe stood behind Bi Zihan, his eyes wary of Dai Tianfeng and the guards behind him.
" Star Luo Emperor, since we are here to discuss this, let's start by stating your terms." Looking at Dai Tianfeng before him, a calm and composed voice emanated from Bi Zihan.
"A young man of such young age possesses such ruthless methods, forcing three sects to stand by and watch, not daring to act rashly. He has cleansed half of the nobles in my Star Luo City, destabilizing the Star Luo Empire and causing the massacre of three villages on the northern border by suspected Evil Soul Master. Truly impressive methods, but what good will this do for your Misty Rain Tower? You've offended the royal family, the nobles, and three sects. Do you think Misty Rain Tower can thrive in the Star Luo Empire?" Dai Tianfeng sized up Bi Zihan with interest. From Bi Zihan's physique and somewhat childish voice, he could easily tell that Bi Zihan was not very old.
Hearing Dai Tianfeng's voice, Bi Zihan reached for the teapot on the table and said, "What you're saying is like this teapot in my hand. Everyone knows it was picked up by Misty Rain Tower, but who can prove that the tea inside was drunk by Misty Rain Tower? Of course, you are the Star Luo Emperor, and you can easily find a pretext to accuse us. But Misty Rain Tower is not weak. If we really fight to the death, the result is not what you want to see."
Bi Zihan looked at Dai Tianfeng indifferently, not caring about what he said at all. He had done nothing wrong, but they just couldn't produce any evidence, and he could push everything away. If they really wanted to attack him, then they should be prepared to fight to the death.
"The royal family needs an explanation, and so do the nobles. Let's settle this issue first, and then we can talk about other things." Dai Tianfeng's eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Bi Zihan.
However, in Dai Tianfeng's heart, he felt both apprehension and deep admiration for Bi Zihan. He was apprehensive because, at such a young age, Bi Zihan possessed such ruthless methods, decisiveness, and meticulousness in his actions. He admired him for the same reason; if Bi Zihan could be used by the royal family, he would be a powerful ally.
"An explanation is all I ask. Now you can tell me your bargaining chips." A wicked smile appeared on Bi Zihan's lips beneath his mask, but no one could see it because of the mask.
Dai Tianfeng was not surprised by his answer. To put it bluntly, an explanation is something or a statement that can save face for both parties.
"A Mimetic Cultivation Ground, and permission to establish the Misty Rain Tower within the Star Luo Empire —that's my condition," Dai Tianfeng stated, holding up two fingers.
"If that's all there is to it, then the Star Luo Emperor really has no sincerity whatsoever. A Mimetic Cultivation Ground is nice, but I don't think much of it." Bi Zihan shook his head slightly. Mimetic Cultivation Ground is indeed nice, as it can speed up Soul Master's cultivation and is very helpful for building a foundation for Soul Master.
However, his cultivation depends on his mood, and he spends most of his cultivation time comprehending the sword. A Mimetic Cultivation Ground is not entirely useless to him, but it is practically useless as well.
"Then tell me your conditions. I'd like to hear what your Misty Rain Tower's conditions are." Dai Tianfeng looked at Bi Zihan with interest, wanting to hear what his negotiation conditions were.
"A Mimetic Cultivation Ground, permission to build the Misty Rain Tower in every city of the Star Luo Empire, half of the property of the nobles who have been cleansed, fifty rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and all kinds of resources needed for cultivation—I want them all. As for how much you give, that depends on your sincerity." After stating his conditions, Bi Zihan mentally prepared for a verbal battle.
Upon hearing this, Dai Tianfeng suddenly chuckled softly.
"Hehe, your Misty Rain Tower is really asking for too much. I really don't know which sect, family, or hermit sect could produce someone like you."
"I can agree to any of the conditions you have proposed, but I have one condition: I want your Misty Rain Tower to become Guest Elder Force of our royal family, and all the Titled Douluo in Misty Rain Tower to become guest ministers of our royal family."
"Don't rush to refuse. I'm not asking you Misty Rain Tower, Misty Rain Tower Misty Rain Tower, to become a vassal of our royal family. Rather, our royal family will support you, providing you with resources unconditionally every year. You will also have a certain status within our royal family, and I will grant you the title of Duke in the Star Luo Empire. However, whenever our royal family needs you, Misty Rain Tower Misty Rain Tower must provide unconditional assistance, no matter what, without any disobedience."
Dai Tianfeng stared directly into Bi Zihan's eyes. He recognized the strength of Misty Rain Tower and Bi Zihan's abilities. Regardless of his talent, his ruthless methods and vision alone would make him a potential strategist for the empire, or even a national advisor.
Having such a person in their hands would be absolutely beneficial, and with the addition of Misty Rain Tower, whose strength rivals that of the Upper Three Sects, the royal family would be guaranteed to make a profit.
By slowly subduing the entire Misty Rain Tower, using the method of "boiling a frog over a low flame," everything will eventually be theirs, no matter how much they have to give up.
