Upon hearing this, the Zhao cultivator who had wanted to object fell silent.
The Zhao Emperor nodded. "Yuqi is right. Yan's strength is not something Zhao can compare to. If they truly wanted to stir up trouble in Zhao, they would not even need to act themselves.
With the Yan Supreme Emperor's artifact-refining methods, if he casually sold some fifth-tier puppets or Flying Warships to Song, neither our Zhao Supreme Emperor nor Duke Zhenguo would be a match for them.
When that time came, Song could easily destroy Zhao and divide Zhao's territory with Yan. What could we do then?
Not to mention Blood Shadow lurking in the shadows. Zhao has two Nascent Soul Cultivators; Blood Shadow has accumulated foundations over tens of thousands of years. How many Nascent Soul Cultivators must they have?
You should all have heard about Zhao Liang's Core Formation.
He previously had no Violet Mansion Phenomenon. If talent like that could form a core, Yan must possess some special method.
With this method, the number of Golden Core Cultivators in Yan will soar in the future.
Our relationship with Yan has always been good, and the two sides have commercial dealings. Zhao has also earned quite a few Spirit Stones.
We must not offend Yan over trivial matters."
Everyone in the hall nodded. Offending Yan for a fit of pride was simply courting death.
Zhao Qingjie cupped his hands. "According to Your Majesty's meaning, should we simply agree to Yan's demands?"
The Zhao Emperor shook his head. "Yuqi, I will leave these negotiations to you. You and Yu Ying share the same mother, so you can also draw closer to her.
Yan sent my son-in-law here as well, which carries that meaning. Their sincerity is considerable.
Do your best to negotiate for us too. It
