However, to Jiang Ping'an's expectation, Ping'an City did not usher in Celestial Race's second attack.
On this day, Jiang Ping'an received an urgent report. Celestial Race sent a sage to deliver a message. His saint requested face-to-face negotiations with Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an was quite surprised and suspected fraud, but still ordered the Celestial Race messenger to be let into Ping'an City. He met the Celestial Race messenger in the inner city government office.
"Lord Ye, my name is Brun Guan." In the hall, the Celestial Race messenger said to Jiang Ping'an who was sitting on the throne, "I am sending a message to you on behalf of my saint."
Brun Guan put away his arrogance.
Jiang Ping'an didn't expect to meet Brun Family, but he didn't express his emotions and anger, and said quietly, "Say."
Brun Guan said, "My saint invites Lord Ye to negotiate at the main peak of Spirit Connection Mountain at noon tomorrow."
Jiang Ping'an pondered for a moment, then Zhang Zhe immediately stood up and said, "Since it is a negotiation, the time and place cannot be decided by you."
Feng Yihuan, Ji Wusu and others also echoed their words.
Obviously, they are all worried that Celestial Race is a scam.
Ji Wusu said, "The location should be decided by us!"
Brun Guan said, "No problem."
Jiang Ping'an said, "Just in front of the city gate."
"Okay." Brun Guan said.
Ji Wusu said, "Both sides can send envoys to negotiate. There is no need to work for our city lord and noble saints."
Brun Guan refused this time. "This is not possible. My saint does not want to waste time talking."
When Ji Wusu, Zhang Zhe and others wanted to talk, Jiang Ping'an said, "Then let's talk face to face."
After Brun Guan left, the Ping'an City senior officials in the palace immediately persuaded Jiang Ping'an to be careful of Celestial Race being deceitful, as there might be two or three Celestial Race saints setting an ambush.
Jiang Ping'an also basically agreed with their guess, but he was not afraid of being surrounded by two or three Celestial Race saints.
He laughed loudly and said, "How can you fight against Celestial Race if you don't even dare to leave your home? You don't have to worry."
If two or three Celestial Race saints really ambushed him tomorrow and he successfully "escaped", Celestial Race would have almost given up.
Although everyone admired Jiang Ping'an for his arrogance, they still tried their best to persuade him.
Jiang Ping'an is too important. If something happens to him, Ping'an City will fall immediately.
In the evening, Jiang Ping'an returned to the Ye Manor, and Ye Qingluan also persuaded Jiang Ping'an and expressed strong concerns.
Jiang Ping'an comforted Ye Qingluan and said, "Since I dare to agree, I am absolutely confident. Madam, please rest assured."
"Okay, I just want to ask your husband to be careful." Ye Qingluan couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to say this.
Jiang Ping'an smiled, took Ye Qingluan's hand, and patted the back of his hand with the other hand. "Thank you, madam, for your concern."
Ye Qingluan sighed, "Great Barrens is dangerous and disturbing. Husband, after this matter is over, let's have a child, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Ping'an agreed with a smile.
This matter can't be put off any longer. Ye Qingluan is virtuous and gentle, and should be a good mother. She will raise the child specially, so he can basically rest assured. What's more, his mother Jiang Shuyue is also helping out.
At noon the next day, under the watchful eyes of countless human monks in Ping An City, Jiang Pingan flew out of Ping An City and negotiated with the Celestial Saints more than ten miles in front of the city gate.
Brund looked at Jiang Ping'an carefully and met Brund's gaze. Jiang Ping'an suddenly thought of something: the saint could see through that he was Ancient Sacred Body.
Then, he discovered that Brund didn't show anything strange, and he immediately thought that Profound Emperor Armor could prevent prying eyes.
"You should not die." Jiang Ping'an secretly said.
If the saint Celestial Race on the opposite side could discover that he was Ancient Sacred Body, he would have no choice but to kill him immediately to avoid bringing real disaster to Ping'an City.
Brund said, "This saint Brund. It is impossible for Ping'an City to avoid paying tribute!"
Jiang Ping'an asked, "What do you want Human Race's blood for?"
"This matter is confidential, don't try to inquire." Brund immediately warned.
Immediately, he took out a list and sent it to Jiang Ping'an with his magic power. "This is the minimum condition. If you miss it, you will regret it."
It turned out that he sent people back to the Celestial Continent to ask for reinforcements, but no saint was willing to come to help. He also decisively put down his burden.
However, he could not go back empty-handed, so he could only achieve his goal through negotiation.
Jiang Ping'an took the list and unexpectedly found that the amount of sperm and blood on the list was blank. He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Brund, who pretended not to see his gaze.
Jiang Ping'an withdrew his gaze, took out the pen from Storage Ring, and counted the numbers on it.
Dao Unification Realm Essence and blood: 0
Dao Inquiry Realm Essence and blood: 10
Law Manifestation Realm Essence and Blood: 50
Dragon Transformation Realm Essence and Blood: 200
Divine Treasury Realm Essence and blood: 1000
Body Tempering Realm Essence and Blood: 2000
Primordial Sea Realm and Channel Opening Realm essence and blood:
Not practicing blood purification: 0
After filling out, Jiang Ping'an returned the list to Brund.
Brund was quite speechless when he saw the number on the list. This was to send a beggar away. He said dissatisfiedly, "You are too young, the amount of blood essence and blood must not be less than the population of Ping'an City."
Jiang Ping'an said seriously, "Ping'an City There are only so many people."
"It can't be less than 100,000 drops of blood essence!" Brund gritted his teeth and handed the list back to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an took over the list and changed the amount of the Body Tempering Realm's essence and blood to 20,000 drops, and changed the number of the Primordial Sea Realm and Channel Opening Realm's essence and blood to 79,000 drops.
Finally, return the list to Brund.
Brund looked at the quantity on the list, looked at Jiang Ping'an helplessly, and said solemnly, "It will be ready within five days!"
After saying that, Brund turned around and flew away.
Jiang Ping'an still felt a little surprised that there was really no ambush.
"It seems that Celestial Race is seriously rotten inside." He thought to himself, then turned around and flew back to Ping'an City.
As Jiang Ping'an flew back to Ping'an City, Ping'an City immediately let out a roar of cheers, and all Human Race monks were extremely excited.
One is to cheer the safe return of their respected city lord, and the other is that it seems that the negotiation has been successful and there is no need for war.
Celestial Race, as the current master of Great Barrens, has put too much pressure on them, and almost everyone is ready to die in battle.
Ye Qingluan flew out of the city wall, greeted Jiang Ping'an, and said happily, "Husband."
Jiang Ping'an took Ye Qingluan's jade hand and said with a smile, "Things went smoothly."
Below, people were shouting in unison excitedly, "City Lord! City Lord's wife! City Lord! City Lord's wife..."
Jiang Ping'an and Ye Qingluan held hands and flew into Ping'an City, announcing loudly. "The negotiation was successful."
The crowd immediately burst into even more excited cheers.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Ping'an said again, "But don't let down your guard, beware of scams!"
Flying back to the inner city yamen, in the city lord's hall, Jiang Ping'an sat high on the city lord's throne, Ye Qingluan sat next to him, and a group of Ping'an City's senior officials stood below in two rows.
Jiang Ping'an revealed the amount of Human Race's essence and blood to be "tributed", and all Ping'an City's senior officials couldn't help but be extremely surprised and unbelievable.
It's only one hundred thousand drops of essence and blood, which is almost negligible to the five to six million people Ping'an City and Moonrise City combined.
People who are not practicing can have two to three drops of blood essence, but if they are refined and take out a drop of blood essence, their vitality will be severely damaged, which will affect them for the rest of their lives. This is why Jiang Ping'an chose to fill in zero. Although the value of uncultivated essence and blood is the lowest.
Channel Opening Realm monks generally have five to ten drops of blood essence, and Primordial Sea Realm monks generally have more than twenty drops of blood essence. Body Tempering Realm has thirty to fifty drops of blood essence.
After a drop of blood essence was extracted from the Primordial Sea Realm and Tempering Realm, there was basically no impact and they recovered easily.
Jiang Ping'an lectured everyone. "Celestial Race is strong, but not that terrible. As long as we dare to fight, they will not be able to ask for anything from us!"
"What Sect Master said is that we are waiting to be taught!" All senior executives of Ping'an City bowed to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an continued, "However, we can't suffer a small loss and forget the shame! Celestial Race asks for our blood essence and blood, which means openly sucking our blood and eating our flesh!"
"One day, we will take revenge ten thousand times!!!"
