Just as Xu Changxing hesitated, Daoist Wuchen, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly transmitted his voice to him:
"Actually, back in Ancient Times, some Immortal Venerables of the Myriad Immortals Alliance considered cooperating with us to reshape the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth together.
"But most Immortal Venerables at the time did not believe our Tianyan Sect had the strength, so we ultimately took a different path from the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
"Your appearance as sect master has most likely let them see some sort of opportunity. That is why Green Lotus Immortal Monarch dared to make such a promise."
After listening, Xu Changxing transmitted back, "Senior, do you think these terms are acceptable?"
Daoist Wuchen continued transmitting, "No, this hardly counts as a concession at all.
"Green Lotus is merely conveying the intentions of the Daluo Immortal Venerables.
"Sparing his life on those terms would let him off far too cheaply."
Those words suited Xu Changxing's wishes quite well.
He had finally gotten such an opportunity, and he did not want to let it slip away so easily either.
After a moment's deliberation, Xu Changxing spoke to Green Lotus Immortal Monarch again:
"This matter benefits not only our Tianyan Sect, but your Myriad Immortals Alliance as well, without doing you any harm.
"Trying to exchange that promise for the lives of your alliance's dozens of Immortal Monarchs is truly a flight of fancy.
"Offer something else."
Green Lotus Immortal Monarch frowned. "This is already the greatest sincerity our Myriad Immortals Alliance can offer.
"I truly do not know what more you want to demand."
By now, Xu Changxing had already decided on his terms. Without hesitation, he said:
"I am not asking for much. One million Origin Crystals, in addition to the terms you just mentioned.
