Trade of Ten Provinces

"Breaking through the Seventh Heaven isn't that easy. Even Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, with his Dragon Race bloodline advantage and the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, has only just broken through."

"The ability to severely injure Chang Sheng with a single palm strike relies on speed. In close combat, whoever seizes the initiative gains the absolute advantage and achieves results far exceeding their normal level."

Zuoqiu Hongting spoke in a humble tone, her voice relaxed and leisurely.

Li Weiyi said, "You're avoiding the main point again! You know what I really want to ask is about your mental power level."

Zuoqiu Hongting gazed at him and sighed softly, "Some secrets can only be revealed at the moment of certain death, otherwise the consequences will be endless. You yourself have the same great secret, you should understand my helplessness, so why are you forcing me?"

Li Weiyi was startled and immediately realized that the ancient lamp Zuoqiu Hongting's eyebrows was probably more than just a broken Supreme Magic Tool.

That lamp possesses intelligence; it can see through Jiang Ning's secrets and also see his secrets.

As expected, those whose combat power could rival that of the Martial Path Son of Heaven in his youth all possessed great secrets.

Huo Xin and Zhen Xin released the Dao Heart Manifestation, the power of their will, which was applied to all the martial cultivators on the Horizon Ship.

The crimson and icy blue light condensed into two colorful clouds on the sea, creating a truly magnificent sight.

The martial artists on the first and second decks of the ship all glared angrily, but their cultivation levels were too low, and they trembled under the pressure of the other party's will.

The martial artists on the third and fourth levels either released their Dao Heart Manifestation and weapons. They were just waiting for Tang Wanzhou's command to launch a group attack.

With Huo Xin smile in Zhen Xin eyes, he knew that the Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator of the Lingxiao Shengjing would not dare to attack them.

Therefore, they acted with impunity.

Behind the two, on the sea below, martial artists from the Dao Palace and the Lingxiao Dao Cult appeared in the vicinity of the Horizon Ship, some riding ships and others treading the waves. They were all top-level experts, their bodies shrouded in clusters of magical energy.

This is no longer a provocation; it's more like encirclement and coercion.

If we cannot break this deadlock today, and cannot respond with a strong stance, the entire Lingxiao Shengjing's martial arts practitioners will be branded as weak and easily bullied.

Today, Dao Palace came to besiege the area without paying a price.

Then, tomorrow the Demon Race of the East Sea will come to surround them. The day after tomorrow, the Western Demon Race will follow suit.

The sixth level of the ship.

Tang Wanzhou, dressed in a long black robe, stood straight behind the array's Light Veil, one hand behind his back, looking down at Huo Xin and Zhen Xin in the distance. "As expected, they've arrived! Tang Wanqiu, go and deal with them."

"I?"

Tang Wanqiu was stunned, thinking she was joking.

Huo Xin or Zhen Xin, either of them is virtually invincible below the Longevity Realm in the Lingxiao Shengjing. In Tang Wanqiu's view, only Tang Zhan in the world today can rival them.

With Huo Xin, he stood on the ship's railing, his magical robes swaying in the wind, and proclaimed once more. "The Dao Palace is the sacred cultivation ground for billions of rice people across the world. The Canghai Dao Realm Ocean reigns supreme. This time, I have come to the East Sea with absolutely no intention of bullying the weak."

"The two disciples sincerely wish to make a deal with Young Master. In the entire Lingxiao realm, only Young Master is qualified to speak with them."

"I hope Young Master won't be so arrogant as to look down on the Dao Palace, otherwise it will be very difficult for the two disciples and Dao Palace."

"Dao Palace is a great religion of the world. If we suffer this humiliation, we will surely repay it," he said Zhen Xin.

"Xue Jian Tang Ting has absolutely no intention of showing contempt."

On the top of the ship, Tang Wanqiu quickly stepped out from the array of Light Veil.

Then, with a leap, he gracefully landed on the edge of the second-floor ship, looked down at the two below, cupped his hands and smiled, "I am Tang Wanqiu, the successor of the Xue Jian Tang Ting generation. I believe I am qualified to discuss matters with you two. May I ask what kind of transaction you wish to make?"

"Tang Wanqiu actually has such courage, interesting," Zuoqiu Hongting said with a smile.

Li Weiyi raised his head and glanced at the sixth floor of the Ship Tower, secretly guessing that Tang Wanqiu must have been forced into the boiling oil by Tang Wanzhou.

It must be said, this was a very clever move.

The Longevity Realm Giants in the Lingxiao Shengjing indeed dared not act against Huo Xin and Zhen Xin.

But with Huo Xin and Zhen Xin on the Horizon Ship, how could they dare to lay a hand on Tang Wanqiu?

Moreover, as the successor of Tang Wanqiu, he certainly has the right to converse with the two of them, and no one can find fault with him. This is a move to use their own methods against them.

The Huo Xin narrowed his eyes, his pupils burning with fierce flames, and his spiritual intent surged forth, overwhelming everything in his path.

Tang Wanqiu maintained a smile throughout, her body radiating light.

There is indeed a huge gap in their levels of understanding. But it is absolutely impossible for the Huo Xin crush him with just his will.

As a top inheritor, or rather, Chief-level genius, Tang Wanqiu's Battle Intent is like the snow-capped mountains of the North, capable of withstanding attacks.

Zhen Xin narrowed his eyes. "As expected of a top- Chief-level genius capable of cultivating at the Du'e Temple, this generation of Lingxiao Shengjing can be called the golden age. Tang Wanqiu, can you make a decision on behalf of Xue Jian Tang Ting and Lingxiao Shengjing?"

Tang Wanqiu's back was already soaked with sweat, but she smiled faintly and said, "I can still make decisions regarding matters below the Longevity Realm of the Snow Sword Tang Court. As for major matters concerning the Lingxiao Realm, those will naturally be decided by everyone present."

On the fifth floor of the Ship Tower, Li Weiyi said to Zuoqiu Hongting, "I don't care what level your mental power is, just use your identity as Li Weiyi to help me kill someone, okay?"

Zuoqiu Hongting didn't ask who she killed, "What's the reward?"

"You exposed my secret of coming to Moon Dragon Island Market and deceived Yao Yin. You still want compensation?" Li Weiyi said.

Zuoqiu Hongting sighed softly, "Alright, let's just let this go and not dwell on it anymore. Yao Yin, your Hidden Person say you won't pursue this further!"

Yao Yin's eyes were reserved; she had no intention of paying attention to the two of them. If it weren't for Huo Xin and Zhen Xin blocking her way, she would have left long ago. She said, "I also want to learn the Bone Shifting God Changing Chapter, otherwise I won't be able to get past this chapter."

"You still want to learn?"

Li Weiyi shook her head and resolutely refused.

The rumor involving Zuoqiu Hongting has already caused a huge uproar.

If another one comes along, who knows what trouble might arise in the future.

No wonder the "Bone Shifting God Changing Chapter" was lost in the Zuoqiu Courtyard after the disappearance of the Spirit Tablet Master. It turns out that the Spirit Tablet Master never passed it on to anyone at all; that's what makes him so experienced.

Zuoqiu Hongting asked, "Who do you want to kill?"

"Huo Xin," Li Weiyi said.

Zuoqiu Hongting stared straight at him. "You're not kidding, are you? Finding someone in the Lingxiao Shengjing who can rival him is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Even those in the Longevity Realm might not be able to kill him."

Defeating and killing are worlds apart.

He Zhen Xin revealed the deal that Dao Palace wanted to make with Xue Jian Tang Ting.

It turns out that Dao Palace wanted all the major forces in Lingxiao Shengjing to withdraw their troops from the Southeast Nether Realm in exchange for the Dao Palace's protection of the martial artists in Lingxiao Shengjing during the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton.

In the Southeast Nether Realm, the thirty-one states formerly under the rule of Lord Lan: the Dao Palace and the Lingxiao Dao Cult occupy ten states, the Lingxiao Human Clan occupies ten states, and the remaining eleven states are taken over by the East Sea Demon Race.

We must not agree to their demands.

Taishi Yu shouted, "If Lingxiao Shengjing withdraws its troops and hands over the ten prefectures, it will surely be like raising a tiger that will cause trouble in the future."

The Huo Xin chuckled, "Those ten states are all shrouded in the darkness of the Netherworld. What use are they to you? Why not trade them to the Dao Palace and let us establish the East Sea Rice Realm? Then, the East Sea Rice Realm and the Lingxiao Shengjing can join forces to fight against the spirits in the Netherworld. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

He Zhen Xin said, "You must not underestimate the impact of this opportunity. Exchanging the wastelands of the Ten Provinces for an opportunity for the rise of a new habitat is definitely a huge win."

"How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?"

"The rice man's wicked intentions will never die."

"We must not cede the land of these ten states. This is a buffer zone between us and the Rice People. Without this buffer, future wars will break out within our own territory."

The martial artists from all the major forces in Lingxiao Shengjing were filled with righteous indignation.

He was Zhen Xin patient, staring at Tang Wanqiu, then looking up at the array's Light Veil above, as if he could see Tang Wanzhou through Light Veil: "Those ten prefectures are almost entirely controlled by the Zuoqiu Courtyard, the Jiu Li Tribe, and the Lei Xiao Sect. Xue Jian Tang Ting is too far away and has suffered a great loss. Young Master's agreement is entirely beneficial."

"The East Sea Rice Realm can help the Xue Jian Tang Ting restrain the Zuoqiu Courtyard and the Jiu Li Tribe in the south."

The Southeast Nether Realm, in essence, borders the Eastern and Southern Realms.

The human forces in the eastern and southern territories were naturally able to arrive quickly and seize control.

Zhen Xin continued, "If Dao Palace is determined to take it, you will certainly not be able to hold onto those ten provinces. Why not exchange some benefits beforehand? Why must you resort to violence?"

The other party has already revealed their true intentions.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Many of the top experts and veteran powerhouses of Lingxiao Shengjing summoned their battle swords and spears from their ancestral fields.

When faced with a threat, one should not bow down.

Next comes kneeling down, then lying down on your stomach, at the mercy of others.

Only by fighting back and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy can we gain a foothold.

Zhenxin remained unfazed, not taking the martial artist before him Zhen Xin: "The opportunity arising from the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton Dao Palace not your enemy, but the Western Demon Race's. The Western Demon Race will definitely take this opportunity to retaliate. Only by obtaining the protection of the Dao Palace can you avoid being hunted down."

"We hope that the decision-makers in the Lingxiao Shengjing are rational, can understand the current situation, and make the right choices."

Zuoqiu Hongting asked in a low voice, "The Daoren's ambitions extend far beyond the ten states of Youjing. His Huo Xin is at the Upper Chief level, possessing an incredibly strong physical body with no weaknesses. Most importantly, we don't know what his trump card is. Knowing yourself but not your enemy, and then acting rashly, is a grave mistake."

She had murderous intent.

The Dao Palace has actually schemed against the Zuoqiu Courtyard. If the Xue Jian Tang Ting is short-sighted and actually agrees to the Lingxiao Shengjing's request, then the Inari people will have a reason to demand and attack the Ten Provinces of Youjing.

Li Weiyi said, "It's precisely because we don't know that it's necessary to take action today. We'll fight openly and force him to reveal his trump cards. Even if his trump cards are strong, we have Longevity Realm Giants from the Lingxiao Shengjing to help us withstand the attack."

Zuoqiu Hongting instantly understood Li Weiyi's intention. If they acted now, the Lingxiao Shengjing they represented would have someone to back them up, and they could use this opportunity to understand Huo Xin's true strength. Afterward, they could carry out the assassination.

Zuoqiu Hongting asked her final question, "Why did you insist on killing him?"

"He once hunted me in the Old Yuzhou and almost killed me," Li Weiyi said.

It would be strange if Zuoqiu Hongting believed him. "I understand, that's a good reason."
