Although Divine Lord Cold Bamboo was unwilling, the demands Yu Ci put forward were not outside the "principled" boundaries set by the Xiyu Alliance.
Before he was ordered to negotiate with Yu Ci, he had already obtained the full authorization of the Xiyu Alliance and was entirely capable of making such decisions; however, if he simply agreed to every single item Yu Ci named, what use was there for him?
After turning a few thoughts over, Divine Lord Cold Bamboo decided to stall: "This matter touches upon the foundation of our sect, the alliance must discuss it further..."
"Then discuss it until you reach a result before speaking." Yu Ci was not angry, merely replying in a flat tone.
In truth he was angry, but with his expression currently so wooden, others could not tell, needlessly giving Divine Lord Cold Bamboo a great deal to puzzle over.
Yet even more beyond everyone's expectations, Yu Ci next said: "For the likes of Wuji Pavilion, with their remnants not yet eliminated, the alliance probably still needs a certain amount of time to deal with them, so there is no need to rush..."
Well, well? How did he suddenly display such magnanimity?
Just as Divine Lord Cold Bamboo's thoughts stirred, he saw Yu Ci turn toward Madam Hua, a smile appearing for the first time on his stern face: "Today's affairs saw Madam Hua become a victim as well, and the alliance should naturally offer some compensation. In that way, the madam and I can be considered to be standing on the same side..."
Abruptly hearing him speak thus, a deeply ominous notion suddenly arose in Divine Lord Cold Bamboo's heart, but before he could open his mouth to stop him, Yu Ci abruptly did an extremely eye-catching thing, completely blocking his words
