A second negotiation, martial arts collection in progress...

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.

Everyone turned to look and saw a dashing young man in black clothes with a mocking expression.

"Li Xin, how dare you, a member of the Shadow Sect, grace this Yazhi with your presence?" Meng Huazhen looked at the young man without any politeness.

Li Xin was taken in as a confidant by Xu Ruyan, and through his excessive drug use, his strength has almost reached the Celestial Realm.

Generally, martial artists at the Celestial Realm are level 50 NPCs.

"Sect Master!" Li Xin exclaimed in surprise, looking behind Meng Huazhen.

Meng Huazhen suddenly stood up and looked behind him.

There was nothing after that.

Meng Huazhen's face turned pale with rage, his killing intent palpable. He pointed at Li Xin and cursed, "Li Xin, you wretched creature, do you want to die?"

Having lost face in front of so many top experts, he really wanted to make a move!

"We're all working for Building Lord Xu, why are you being so hostile?" Li Xin teased.

Upon hearing this, many people frowned.

"It was supposed to be a cooperative relationship," said an old monk dressed in a black robe, with a gaunt figure and an eerie aura.

This person is named "Free and Unfettered Monk," and is the abbot of the "Great Free and Unfettered Temple" of the Seventy-Two Divine Sects. He holds an extremely high position among the NPCs.

The status of Great Free and Unfettered Temple was even higher than that of Daoya.

Of all Buddhist temples, Great Free and Unfettered Temple is the most vicious and evil, its origins traceable to an ancient Demon God named "Rahu".

Jialan nodded and said, "Master Zizai is right."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They wouldn't do something without doing anything after receiving benefits, but the problem is that Xu Lang's previous actions were indeed unethical, ruining everyone's martial arts skills.

Now it's understandable that they just eat and do nothing, since they've already paid for their meals.

Great Yin Empress sneered inwardly, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction as she watched Bai Ze lose face.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Lang suddenly spoke, a perfectly timed look of confusion on his face. "The reason we've gathered everyone here is to discuss how to resist the Demon Race's attempt to destroy the world, and to protect your lives."

The atmosphere in the room froze immediately upon hearing this.

"You have no idea how much pressure I'm under right now!" Xu Lang shook his head and sighed, "Many people are advising me to abandon you, after all, the Demon Race army wants to kill you and destroy the Grand Wuxia World, which is essentially unrelated to our Mad King Building!"

The NPCs gasped, feeling their blood pressure spike.

"Building Lord Xu, that's not how it works! You promised to help us fight the Demon Army, but now you're going back on your word!"

"That's right, if the Demon Race kill us, do you think you'll survive? Don't you understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

"We are currently at a critical juncture in our seclusion. If only Building Lord could buy us some time, I will surely help you annihilate the Demon Army and Titan Building once I break through to the Martial Shattering of the Void Realm!"

The NPCs were in high spirits, a group of top experts arguing like street thugs!

There's no way!

Who the hell can stand being kicked out?!

Everyone knows that going out now is a death sentence!

The Demon Race army's sword hangs over their necks at all times!

As for seeking refuge with Titan Building...

You must be joking!

Putting aside everything else, Building Lord Xu is truly skilled at surviving. I don't know what methods he used to make the Demon Army only attack Titan Building!

The Mad King Building is now the safest place!

Only an idiot would want to go to Titan Building; wouldn't it be better to stay in Mad King Building and cultivate?

These NPCs weren't without connections; many factions placed their bets separately. They learned that the resources offered by Titan Building weren't much better than those offered by Mad King Building, since Titan Building had too many NPCs, and original Transcendent items were very rare.

Considering all of the above, everyone was even less inclined to leave.

"Sigh, you've all misunderstood me too much." Xu Lang suddenly sighed, "Accumulating your strength is of paramount importance. The later you go, the greater your value and the stronger your combat power will be. How could I send you to the battlefield now?"

It's not about asking them to do the work, it's about asking them to do what?

Some people had already guessed Xu Lang's plan, and their faces darkened.

After all that talking and going around in circles, it all comes down to wanting something in return!

"I understand that you need to build up your strength. We players need to build up our strength, and I hope you understand that too," Xu Lang said with a smile. "Last time when I handed over my martial arts techniques, I know you all held back a little. This time, I hope that won't be the case."

Jialan opened her mouth, then closed it again.

"Everyone, the player missions released in the Dormitory Survival Game are crucial for us. Titan Building has already started its operation and could seize the initiative at any time," Mary said solemnly.

Great Internal Skill, Great Fist Technique, Great Lightness Skill, Divine Weapon Register.

Apart from the last Divine Weapon Register, everyone in Demon King Castle suspected that the other three martial arts were Mythic- level martial arts!

After all, Great Yin Empress and Pei Yizhi possess Mythic martial arts skills. Surely the main quest in the Dormitory Survival Game wouldn't also involve Legendary- level martial arts?

During the last martial arts exchange, these top NPCs kept a lot of secrets. At the time, Xu Lang used Nightmare Eye to spy on them and knew that things were not going to work out, so he did not forcefully demand them.

The ancients had a serious problem with hoarding their secrets. Even with the impending doom looming, they would still hide their secrets, each one like a martial arts encyclopedia. But when it came to actually copying martial arts techniques, they would make all sorts of excuses to avoid it.

Now, with interests at stake, it's unclear what choices these people will make...

Xu Lang was really dissatisfied that he only managed to retrieve less than ten Legendary martial arts manuals last time!

His eyes narrowed, a sharp glint appearing within them.

With the mission at hand, a conflict between Mad King Building and Titan Building is inevitable. If things don't go smoothly, they might have to resort to violence.

He shares a similar characteristic with Lü Bu.

He was not fond of fighting, but rather of resolving conflicts.

If you can avoid taking action, then do so.

"This old nun is willing to lend Building Lord a hand!"

In the end, Jialan, who had previously collaborated with Xu Lang, relented and broke the silence.

Once these top-tier NPCs relented, things became much easier.

The Residents' Committee members went to find the lower and middle-level NPCs of their respective factions and tried their best to collect top-notch martial arts techniques.

The progress of collecting martial arts techniques at Mad King Building is accelerating rapidly!
