Yuan Ling entered alone, cupped his hands, and said, " Yuan Ling greets the clan leader!"
Dao Wuxin sighed, "How many years has it taken you to come here this time? Why didn't you inform me beforehand? Don't tell me it's about something from ten years ago, is it?"
"It only took me half a day to travel from Yellow Springs City to Star-Array Abyss."
"Your starship has finally been upgraded?"
"..."
Seeing Dao Wuxin's delighted expression, Yuan Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It wasn't that his starship was advanced; rather, Xie Feng used Cross-Dimensional Converter, which allowed him to arrive so quickly.
Dao Wuxin asked, "What brings you here this time?"
Yuan Ling gathered his emotions and began to sob and cry:
"Clan leader, you may not know this, but there are some things I haven't told you over the years, mainly because I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position. In the Fifth Universe, because I upheld your principle of valuing peace, I was constantly targeted by the War Faction's Shi Yan!"
"This man always dislikes me, bullies my subordinates, occupies my land, beats my horses, and roasts my fish! His deeds are too numerous to recount! Not only that, he also constantly mocks me for being cowardly and weak, just because I consider the issue from the perspective of the long-term interests of both tribes, I have become the coward in his eyes."
"His disdain for the Peace Faction is a dig at you too! Just a few days ago, I personally witnessed him bringing in 500,000 elite troops from Star-Array Abyss. These people are definitely all supporters of the War Faction! If this continues, our situation as the Peace Faction will become more and more difficult every day!"
Upon hearing this, Dao Wuxin's anger was instantly ignited.
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Seeing this, Yuan Ling quickly said, "Clan leader, please don't be angry. Just a few months ago, I met a friend. He is very powerful, and it was because of his appearance that Shi Yan's attacks against me suffered repeated setbacks. This time, Shi Yan personally came to Star-Array Abyss to borrow troops because of my friend, who made him retreat one defeat after another! However, one dragon cannot defeat ten thousand snakes, and our Peace Faction is severely lacking in combat power!"
He first tied his own stance to Dao Wuxin's, making the latter empathize with him, then brought Xie Feng into the picture to build goodwill, and finally took the opportunity to make his demands. As for how much truth was in those words... that's up to the listener to interpret!
Dao Wuxin indeed developed curiosity and a liking for Xie Feng, and asked, "What is your honorable name, my friend?"
" Jiaming!"
At this moment, Xie Feng strode in from outside the door, speaking confidently.
Dao Wuxin nodded. " Jiaming friend Jiaming, you are a man of outstanding bearing and exceptional talent, truly a brilliant young man!"
Xie Feng smiled and said, "Clan leader, you flatter me! I've come to borrow troops from you!"
How much do you want to borrow?
Two million!
"Hmm... this is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Dao Wuxin hesitated for a moment.
It's not that the headquarters doesn't have enough troops; on the contrary, the headquarters has a very large troop strength, it's just that the troop deployment method is complicated!
His approval alone is not enough!
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. As expected, Dao Wuxin would refuse!
His original intention was not to have two million people, but to first inflate the number, and then, after fully understanding the other party's psychology, gradually lower it until he achieved his goal.
Xie Feng asked calmly, "And one million?"
"This is too much! Jiaming, I know you are a friend of my Peace Faction, but it's not that I'm unwilling to lend so many troops at once, but my Demon-Burying Clan has three clan leaders, and power is divided among them. My word alone doesn't count!"
You mean, this won't work either?
"This is really putting me in a difficult position!"
"Five hundred thousand! That's my bottom line! And I guarantee you, give me five hundred thousand troops, and I'll take those five hundred thousand troops, along with the five hundred thousand that Shi Yan borrowed, back to Dongcheng and make them all support the Peace Faction!"
Xie Feng patiently guided him!
Dao Wuxin was stunned, and his heart wavered.
"Is what you said true?"
Whether it's true or false, you'll only know by experiencing it for yourself.
What if you disappoint me?
The word "failure" doesn't exist in my dictionary!
Xie Feng's firm words completely moved Dao Wuxin, who said, "Alright, young friend Jiaming, give me some time, I'll go and persuade those two!"
With that, he strode away.
Go to the South City and find Yao Zhi!
After Dao Wuxin left, Yuan Ling gave him a thumbs up. "Young Master Xie, you're really amazing! This clan leader always responds to force but not persuasion, yet you won him over without even a scratch."
"In this world, peace cannot be achieved without violence; a silver tongue can do just as well!"
Xie Feng smiled smugly.
Yuan Ling was filled with admiration.
"Oh, there's one more thing..." Xie Feng said, taking out a communication talisman and contacting Yao Cang in the Fifth Universe.
" Little Cang, there's something I need your help with."
"Teacher, what is it?"
"Go contact your mother now and tell her that I've kidnapped you and abused you!"
"Ah?..."
"This is my strategy. You go ahead and do it, I'll tell you later."
"OK!"
Yao Cang hung up the communication talisman, and being as clever as he was, he quickly understood its deeper meaning.
Following his teacher's instructions, he immediately contacted Yao Zhi, throwing a tantrum and screaming in agony as he told her he was being tortured to the point of despair.
"Mother, I've been tricked! That damned human is using me! Ugh! He even had me beaten! I finally managed to steal a communication talisman to contact you! Ah! Ah! It hurts so much! I'm bleeding! Waaah! Mother! Father! It hurts so much!..."
The Yao Cang cried out for its parents, its screams so pitiful they were unbearable to hear.
Yao Zhi's heart is broken!
A burning rage raged within her; she hated Xie Feng to the core!
She comforted her son while preparing to head to the Fifth Universe!
Just as Yao Zhi was in a state of utter confusion, Dao Wuxin arrived, holding a transfer order and smiling as he said:
" Yao Zhi, I need to mobilize 500,000 troops. I helped you last time, so you have to help me this time, right? I know we had a falling out before, but now that you sign this troop mobilization order, it's all settled!"
Yao Zhi ignored him and hurried forward.
Dao Wuxin: "Why are you ignoring me?"
"You should talk to Zang Tian about this first!"
"That won't do!"
"Get out of my way!"
"I won't leave until you sign."
Dao Wuxin resorted to shamelessness, Yao Zhi clenched her fist, causing the flames to flicker.
Dao Wuxin glanced at her hand and snorted, "If I need to fight to get you to sign, fine, let's fight! Winner signs!"
Yao Zhi glared at him, trying her best to suppress her anger.
I don't have time for jokes!
She was extremely anxious; if she didn't get there quickly, her son might be in grave danger!
She knew that humans hated Demon-Burying Demon and were capable of anything!
However, Dao Wuxin kept obstructing them, and besides, if they were to fight, their strengths were roughly equal, and it would take a lot of time...
Yao Zhi, restless and agitated, stared at the paper and reached out, saying, "Give it to me! I'll sign it!"
Desperate to save her son, she had no choice but to sign the order to mobilize troops!
