Xie Feng tentatively asked, "Don't tell me that the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race has a grudge against him..."
"During my time as a princess, I was carefree and didn't need to think about so many things. But... after ascending the throne, I learned about many important matters, including... the silkworm cocoon that my clan's queen used to possess was stolen by Gu Yuan, the Evil Lord of the Imperial Evil Realm!"
"Moreover, ten years ago, Lu Yinjian and our clan fought over resources, and of course, we couldn't defeat him..."
"Teacher, I know that you and Gu Yuan are friends, and you are also Ge Ya's junior brother. I was shocked for a long time when I first heard this news, but now that I see you again, I feel at ease."
"Firstly, this is not a time for war. I have just assumed power, and what I need most is to bide my time and protect my people. Secondly, you are my teacher, and a very powerful one at that, so I have no grudge against you!"
Qianying shrugged and explained clearly.
Xie Feng patted his heart. "That's good. Now, we can coexist peacefully!"
Qianying: "..."
Okay?
It was obtained in exchange for the generosity of the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race!
If anyone else had said those words, I would have been tempted to kill them too!
Who told her to like him...?
Love is without blame!
Suddenly, Little Sword shouted, "Hey, stop chatting! Have you guys forgotten something important? Nan Mingli!"
Qianying was taken aback. "What Nan Mingli?"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice, "It's her who caused us to be trapped in this space. She shouldn't have left the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race yet!"
Without a word, Qianying immediately took out a communication talisman and calmly ordered, "Elder, immediately mobilize all relevant forces of the clan to search for Nan Mingli, the clan leader of the Illusory Void Feilian Race! We cannot let her leave the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race!"
Setting down the communication talisman, Qianying explained, "Our clan covers a vast area, Nan Mingli cannot escape in a short time. I have already contacted multiple forces and will definitely keep her trapped within the clan. Teacher, please rest assured!"
Xie Feng nodded. "This is troublesome!"
Qianying smiled, her eyes narrowing, "As teacher and student, it's only right! I will forever remember Qianying kindness you showed me in creating my Dantian!"
Xie Feng smiled wryly and said, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."
"No, I'll hang up!"
Qianying pouted, inadvertently revealing the cleverness of a young girl.
Xie Feng shook his head helplessly, indicating that he couldn't afford to be hurt.
At the same time!
Outside the Spirit Silence Swamp, Nan Mingli's figure appeared at the border of the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race!
She walked hurriedly, her eyes filled with anger and urgency.
We must get back!
Nan Mingli gritted her teeth and swiftly traversed the space.
Suddenly, the space rippled!
Two men appeared before her, their auras fierce and imposing, exuding authority without even trying!
Sushang!
Yue Heng!
Nan Mingli suddenly stopped. She first quickly looked Sushang up and down, then her gaze drifted to Yue Heng. When she saw that the latter had strength that surpassed the Indestructible Realm, her heart trembled!
A cold glint flashed in Sushang's eyes as he said in a chilling voice, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Nan Mingli frowned slightly and asked warily, "I have no grudge against you, why are you blocking my way?!"
Sushang said, "Well, you have no grudge against us. Do you know my brother Xie Feng? Or Su Jin?"
Nan Mingli remained silent!
"Silence means consent. My brother's enemies are my enemies, and I will not allow them to harm my brother!" A cold glint flashed in Sushang's eyes!
"So... you guys are in cahoots..."
Nan Mingli spoke, her eyes darted around, seemingly searching for a way to escape!
Yue Heng crossed his arms and calmly said, "Stop staring. Even if you stare a hole through this space, you won't have anywhere to escape, because I've locked the space!"
Nan Mingli's face instantly darkened.
With a flick of his wrist, Sushang conjured the Great Cosmos Karmic Fire, a black flame that resembled an endless black hole capable of devouring everything!
Nan Mingli's eyes darted around, and she quickly reached out to make a gesture to create distance and stop her, saying, "Don't be impulsive!"
Facing Sushang, who Indestructible Realm Fifth Stage, she, at the Indestructible Realm Sixth Stage, already found it somewhat troublesome. But as soon as the Great Cosmos Karmic Fire appeared, she knew that she could not contend with Sushang.
Not to mention there was a ninth-tier Indestructible Saint eyeing them covetously nearby!
To leave safely, we must use strategy!
Sushang flicked a wisp of flame with her fingertip, playing with it as she said calmly, "What can you do to prevent me from acting impulsively?"
Nan Mingli lowered her head in thought!
Sushang had a sudden inspiration and said with a grin, "How about this, I'll release you, but you have to redeem yourself! If the conditions for your redemption satisfy me, I can let you leave."
Nan Mingli's eyes widened, revealing a look of shock.
She redeemed herself?
Are all city folks this good at having fun?
But now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to agree. She is outnumbered and outmatched, so she has to endure it if she can.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!
She was particularly good at comforting and reassuring herself. After figuring things out, she said, "I'll give you the most important Dao Realm mineral vein of the Illusory Void Feilian Race! How about that? The value of this mineral vein is greater than my own!"
Upon hearing this, Sushang frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then shook her head. "Not enough, raise the price!"
"An entire mine isn't enough?!"
"Um!"
"..."
After a brief silence, Nan Mingli cursed greed in her heart while reluctantly saying, "Then add another five thousand Dao Grade weapons!"
"I feel... it's still not enough!"
"Then... add another five thousand Dao Grade weapons!"
"Is the life of the clan queen so cheap?"
"Land! I'll give you a million miles of land in the north with black iron ore, how about that?! Any more than that would be beyond my authority!"
"Make a deal!"
Sushang finally revealed a satisfied smile.
Yue Heng glanced at her, feeling a strange familiarity with that smile, as if he'd seen it on someone else's face before...
Nan Mingli's heart was bleeding.
Although she was the clan leader, not the clan chief, the old clan chief was a sickly man who couldn't survive without his general mother from Su Jin. So, all these years, the real power had been in Nan Mingli's hands.
She truly loves this land!
The kind of love that runs deep!
Ceding territory was truly humiliating!
Her main goal right now is simply to get rid of Sushang and the other man!
A piece of land—I gritted my teeth and took it!
brush!
A gust of wind blew by, Nan Mingli looked up to see Sushang tossing her a piece of paper, smiling slightly, "Words are no proof; a signature is the best proof!"
Nan Mingli said with a gloomy face, "You don't believe me?"
Sushang raised an eyebrow. "Is your self-perception really that flawed? I don't even know you, why should I believe you? Huh?"
Nan Mingli's eye twitched. Seeing that Sushang was difficult to deal with and she was extremely anxious, she could only glare at her fiercely before scanning the paper.
The paper detailed the land and resources she had just offered. Left with no other choice, she pricked her finger and signed her name with her blood.
Sushang took the contract, shook it lightly to dry the blood-stained words, and then waved his hand dismissively. "You can leave!"
Without any hesitation, Nan Mingli turned and left!
"Etc!"
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice came from behind!
