Today's second update: Chapter 2414! 2/4!
Xu Kun gestured for everyone to sit back down before speaking slowly, first setting the tone. "I was invited by the Tiger Fiend Race to act as a negotiator, not to seek profit. First, Qi Ge and I share an unbreakable friendship; then, Mountain Lord entrusted me with this heavy responsibility. Therefore, I hope you elder brothers will understand. I absolutely cannot betray the Tiger Fiend Race and earn a lifetime of infamy."

Qiongqi, however, let out a long breath and looked at Xu Kun's back, his heart full of emotion.
If one found a true friend in life, what more could one ask for?
"Secondly, you elder brothers did not despise me for my youth and were willing to sit down and discuss matters with me. I am deeply grateful. Therefore, a war with the Tiger Slaying Alliance is not what I desire either."
"Then what about the Phoenix Captive Army?" the Three-Faced Lion Lord probed.
Since you neither wanted to betray the Tiger Fiend Race nor fight the Tiger Slaying Alliance, why not withdraw this powerful army?
Xu Kun took a sip of wine before continuing. "If negotiations fail, then I have only one request. I hope you elder brothers will allow the allied forces to make way. Hundreds of millions of Phoenix Captive Army soldiers are willing to enter Myriad Peak Tiger Prison Mountain unarmed and live or die alongside the Tiger Fiend Race!"

I will not kick you from behind, but I will still help the Tiger Fiend Race. I will help them
