Ning Weiyue Compromises

Most importantly, these progress bars are all very slow. Although Xu Bai has upgraded his cheat system several times and the speed has become much faster in his eyes, they are still considered good items according to the previous standards.

Even though he was used to seeing progress bars, seeing so many in front of him still made him feel excited.

A Wu, who was standing next to Xu Bai, looked at the pages of the book on the ground, then glanced at Xu Bai's face and said with a smile, "These things should be enough to improve you a lot."

Xu Bai glanced at A Wu and said, "It's still better without something that has countless worlds. It's a pity, since you won't tell me how to get in."

A Wu shrugged, looking utterly helpless, and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really don't know how to get in. By the way, are you ready to start now?"

Xu Bai nodded. "Since we're just sitting here anyway, let's get started now."

Although he chats with A Wu every day here, it has taken up a lot of time, and he hasn't made any progress in a long time.

Now that he has so much to work on, he certainly won't waste his time. Improving his strength sooner will allow him to leave sooner and have a better chance of facing the Supreme Saint.

After all, the situation may seem calm now, but in reality, things are already in turmoil.

A Wu gave a knowing look, tilted his head, found a place to sit cross-legged, and said nothing more.

She knew that Xu Bai was about to get busy.

Xu Bai didn't waste any more words, staring intently at the pages on the ground, and began to work on it.

Everything was progressing smoothly in the Ghost Market, while on the other side, in the mysterious sea, Ning Weiyue was looking at the constantly flashing afterimages ahead with a melancholy expression.

The dense array of ghostly figures was enough to send chills down one's spine.

She is very distressed because these people are about to be resurrected, and once they are resurrected, she will no longer have any advantage.

She originally had a significant advantage, but due to time constraints, she now has effectively lost half of her team.

If things continue like this, he won't have much credit at all. If that being gets angry, or if the benefits given to her are too small, she will be at a disadvantage.

To put it bluntly, she's being forced into this role; she's been completely pushed into it.

The old wine on the table remained untouched; Ning Weiyue had no appetite for it, and the more she drank, the more agitated she became.

"No, I can't wait any longer. If I keep observing, by the time it's my turn, I might not even get a sip of soup."

After pondering for a moment, Ning Weiyue slammed her hand on the table, stood up from the recliner, and looked in one direction.

There, her loyal subordinates stood quietly. Upon hearing Ning Weiyue slam her hand on the table, they quickly stepped forward, bowed, and lowered their heads.

"General, what are your orders?"

Ning Weiyue hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and waved her hand, saying, "Take some people to Liu Yue's place and tell them that I really want to cooperate."

There's no other way. Now that Liu Yue Liu Yue has established his own kingdom and has reached the level of Exiting Sainthood, they have the advantage, while we are at a disadvantage.

If we really have to compare, whether the other party can cooperate with us now depends entirely on their mindset. If they don't want to cooperate, then no matter how attentive we are, there's no possibility of cooperation.

The soldier pondered for a moment and said, "Yes! I will definitely deliver the message!"

After saying that, he was about to turn and leave, but before he could take two steps, Ning Weiyue called him back.

"Add a few more words, telling them that no matter what they want to do, as long as they have the record of killing a hundred extraordinary experts last time, I will fully cooperate without the slightest hesitation," Ning Weiyue sighed and said.

The soldiers were very surprised when they heard this, and their eyes showed disbelief.

It should be noted that Ning Weiyue was known for her arrogance during the Era of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, so her current humble manner would surprise anyone.

Most importantly, as Ning Weiyue's trusted confidants, they knew that Ning Weiyue would never do such a despicable thing unless faced with a truly desperate moment.

It's clear that the current situation looks like it's in their favor, but in reality, they've already put themselves at a disadvantage.

The soldier shook his head, dismissing his earlier thoughts, and then clasped his hands in salute once more. "Please rest assured, General, I will certainly deliver the message. I will take my leave now!"

Watching her subordinate leave, Ning Weiyue returned to her chair and lay down. Because she was leaning back in the chair, she gently raised her head and looked at the vast blue sky and the fluffy white clouds.

"In that case, as long as I lower my stance and reach a cooperation agreement, I can at least get a share of the credit," Ning Weiyue thought.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the white clouds in the sky shifted slightly, but everything remained the same.

A barren land where yellow sand has accumulated.

Liu Yue looked at the soldier who came to report the news and smiled slightly, "Go back and tell your master that there is no problem. Cooperation is perfectly possible. We are not like you. We will not look down on people like you do."

The soldiers knelt on the ground, their faces covered in sweat. Feeling the pressure from Liu Yue, they couldn't help but tremble. This wasn't because they lacked backbone, but rather an instinctive reaction that they couldn't suppress.

Especially after hearing what Liu Yue had just said, the soldiers felt insulted and felt a surge of anger, but they dared not express it, so their expressions became very strange.

There was a time when they were provoked by this, but today, even if they ask someone, there's no way to change it.

The soldier suppressed his anger and spoke in a respectful voice, "Sir, I would like to ask what the specific cooperation method is so that I can go back and report. Otherwise, I will have to make another round trip."

"I almost forgot, you don't have those mirrors anymore. Oh well, go back and tell her. The specific cooperation method is very simple: she brings everyone over to join the Great Yue Kingdom I've established, and then I'll lead them to solve the trouble. Don't worry, this time, the Great Chu Kingdom will definitely suffer heavy losses." Liu Yue patted his head, as if he hadn't remembered it before, and made a gesture of sudden realization.

The soldiers nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

But before he could take ten steps, Liu Yue called him back. Before he could even turn around, he heard Liu Yue's voice.

"Remember this, I didn't discuss this with you. This is a condition. If you don't want to join, then don't come back. I don't need to discuss any other conditions, understand?" Liu Yue said calmly. "I hope that next time you come, you will bring them all with you."

The soldiers shuddered at the faint killing intent emanating from behind them and quickly fled.

After the soldier left, Bai Zhong asked curiously, "After they arrived, they left a trace of Xu Bai first, and then wiped them all out?"

Bai Zhong had anticipated that the other party would lose their composure so easily, after all, they had already pushed the other party to such a desperate situation. However, he did not expect that everything would proceed so smoothly.

Liu Yue shook his head and said, "We definitely need to wipe them all out, but not now. We'll think of another way after they arrive, since our main objective is their location."

"Location?" Bai Zhong stroked his chin, pondering, "Does that mean we need to keep this charade going and get more and more people to join us so we can concentrate our efforts on eliminating them?"

Liu Yue continued to shake his head and said, "We can't do it like this. We must eliminate them as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more people they will resurrect, and the stronger they will become. It will be difficult to deal with them then."

Bai Zhong frowned and asked, "So, what do you mean we should do?"

Liu Yue said, "It's not my idea, it's His Majesty's idea. His Majesty told me that once they've all gathered, we should try to sow discord. If Sowing Discord Succeeds, that will be the greatest gain. If it fails, we should kill them all. That way, we can at least lighten the burden. Then we should keep the secret until a new batch of people are resurrected, and then we can repeat the cycle."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhong's eyes lit up slightly. "I think I understand. If we can't Sowing Discord Succeeds, we should kill them and block the news. When the new batch of people are resurrected, they will know that we are still traitors and will try to contact us again."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "That's roughly the idea. Anyway, let's wait until they arrive before making any decisions."

Bai Zhong.

The two fell silent and waited quietly.

After the soldiers acted as messengers, they rushed to the mysterious sea. When they arrived, they explained everything, and Ning Weiyue did not hesitate any longer.

"Ready to depart!" Ning Weiyue stood up and immediately led all her men toward the barren land covered in yellow sand.

The journey was smooth and without any threats. When they arrived, they were greeted by a smiling Liu Yue.

Ning Weiyue readily clasped her hands and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhong raised an eyebrow. "As expected of someone from the Era of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, he is indeed a remarkable figure."

A person who can take things on and let them go, who can enjoy wealth and honor and also endure humiliation, is truly a remarkable individual.

Ning Weiyue is clearly like that now.

She knew that they were the weaker party in this collaboration, so she didn't put on airs and readily yielded.

Liu Yue said calmly, "Your Majesty? That's a very nice title. I like it. Now that we're all on the same side, there's no need to be so formal. Let's talk about some serious matters."

Ning Weiyue was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and turned to look at the soldiers behind her, giving them a wink.

The soldiers understood Ning Weiyue's meaning and quickly left, soon leaving only the three of them.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wishes to discuss with me?" Ning Weiyue asked.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. I want to know where you are hiding."

After those words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Ning Weiyue's eyes. "Why ask about this? That place is a secret, and it cannot be known to outsiders. We dare not reveal it either, otherwise that being will be angry and hold us accountable."

Liu Yue had actually heard this many times before. After he subdued the group of defectors, he tried to gather intelligence on them under various pretexts, but they were determined not to reveal anything, clearly terrified of the Supreme Saint.

Liu Yue wasn't surprised to receive the same response.

But when he talked to someone else, he made a new discovery, because he found that among this group of people, Ning Weiyue was the most ambitious.

"What I mean is, how about we kill them all and then take all the credit?" Liu Yue continued.

Ning Weiyue was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, absolutely not. If that being finds out, we will be doomed."

"You still don't understand. The being you're talking about is supreme. He only cares about the result. If we present the result well, the process is unimportant." Liu Yue held up a finger and shook it gently.

Ning Weiyue still shook her head. "With them around, although the credit will be divided, it will ensure our chances of winning. But if we kill them all, can we really win?"

Actually, when Liu Yue said those words, she was already tempted, but after thinking about it, she realized it was a very serious problem. If she failed, it would be utterly disastrous.

Liu Yue shrugged, pretending to be indifferent. "It's okay, I was just making a suggestion. If you don't agree, that's fine. You can rest for a while, and we can discuss a new plan in a few days."

He didn't press too hard; instead, he softened his tone and didn't want to discuss the topic further.

Ning Weiyue hadn't expected this. She thought the other person would linger on the topic, but the sudden stop left her completely bewildered.

But after thinking it over carefully, she decided not to say anything, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and left.

Bai Zhong remained silent, watching Ning Weiyue's departing figure until it disappeared into the vast expanse of yellow sand. Only then did he say, "Why don't we continue the discussion? I think she's already fallen for you."

Liu Yue laughed and said, "She is indeed tempted, but if we push her too hard, we will give ourselves away. There are some things she needs to think through herself. If she understands and wants to do it, that's a good thing. If she doesn't understand, then kill them all."

Bai Zhong shrugged and said, "How much time do we need to give them?"

Liu Yue's eyes gradually turned cold, and his tone became extremely chilling. "If you don't give me an answer within a month, I will personally kill them all."

"I hope so." Bai Zhong seemed somewhat uninterested. "I'm going to take a nap first. Call me if you need anything."

He turned around and left.

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, almost a month had gone by.

The Ghost Market.

Xu Bai took a deep breath, looked at the bare paper in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"I worked like crazy and finally finished all the progress bars."
