Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's face turned ashen, and he was furious, feeling deeply provoked.
A rising genius dares to criticize him, the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm?!
"Presumptuous!"
Xu Yuan angrily retorted, "Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't exist. The Federation has contingency plans for various situations..."
Ning Chuan sneered, interrupting him, and said sarcastically, "Is your so-called plan just endless concessions and appeasement?"
Ning Chuan, don't you have any sense of respect for elders and elders?!
Xu Yuan sternly reprimanded him, saying, "When you stand in my position and look at things from the perspective of the Federation and all of humanity, you will realize how foolish and ignorant your current views are!"
Concessions and appeasement are for the sake of future rise!
Without sufficient strength, being forceful will only lead to a fall into the abyss!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's sarcasm deepened, and he transmitted his voice, "I don't need to stand in your position. Just now, what was the deal with your negotiation with the Blazing Flame Lion?"
"Should the Federation and all of humanity back down in the face of a few ferocious beasts?!"
Ning Chuan's words are sharp.
Xu Yuan listened with a grim expression and furrowed brows. After a long while, he said, "With a formidable enemy at hand, even a king-level ferocious beast could cooperate with the alien race at any time!"
In this situation, what's wrong with sacrificing some interests during negotiations?
Ning Chuan smirked coldly and said mockingly, "You call your actions negotiation?"
I'll agree to all of my opponent's demands without a second thought!
If I'm not mistaken, even if the Blazing Flame Lion asked any of the king-level ferocious beasts for a copy of the Divine Wave Meditation Method, you would agree without hesitation.
"So what if it is!"
Xu Yuan's tone was icy, and he made no attempt to hide his thoughts, saying, "You're just worried about your own interests."
Ultimately, it all boils down to selfishness!
I can't bear to dedicate myself to the Federation!
Bai Qi and Wei Chen were truly blind to appoint you as the World Walker!
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, and said, "That's right, then you'll have to pay the price."
Give me all your wealth.
In return, I will grant all of the Blazing Flame Lion's requests and facilitate cooperation between the beasts and the Federation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's breath hitched, and his face quickly flushed red.
All eyes in the room turned to him, scrutinizing him and Ning Chuan.
Although neither of them spoke, the frequent energy fluctuations between them, coupled with Xu Yuan's angry expression, made it clear to everyone that a conflict had broken out between them, and they were engaged in a heated argument.
You don't need to provoke me.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, his expression returning to calm, and said, "When the Federation needs my contribution, I will naturally give it all."
Your little tricks won't work on me.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze and ignored it.
He had a general idea of Xu Yuan's character.
Xu Yuan was indeed concerned about the safety of the Federation.
However, the reason is completely different from that of Bai Qi and Wei Chen, the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm.
They don't care about the lives of the people or the continuation of humanity!
It was simply to maintain their status and interests as the rulers of the Federation.
Xu Yuan stared coldly at Ning Chuan, then said, "I'm warning you, if you agree to the demands of the King-level ferocious beast and dare to ruin this negotiation, I won't let you off!"
After speaking, Xu Yuan waited for a moment but received no response.
His brows furrowed, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face. He transmitted his voice coldly, saying, " Ning Chuan, don't think you're invincible."
Bai Qi and Wei Chen value you, so your safety is not a problem.
However, I will propose to all the Federation Heavenly King that you be stripped of your two methods of cultivating spiritual power and made public, so that from now on, the Federation Heavenly King will jointly decide how to use them.
Trust me, no one would refuse such a suggestion!
The words had barely left his mouth.
Ning Chuan responded.
However, it was not a transmission of sound.
Instead, he spoke directly.
" Xu Yuan, there's no need to hide anything. If you have the guts, you can say it now."
Ning Chuan stood up, placed one hand on the table, and said coldly.
Silence fell after the words were spoken.
The already quiet meeting room became even more oppressive.
At this moment, Bai Qi turned his gaze to Xu Yuan's face and said indifferently, "What do you want to say?"
Xu Yuan stared at Ning Chuan with a sinister look, pursed his lips, and ultimately didn't speak. Instead, he said, "It's a small matter. I told him to be careful, to prioritize the overall situation, and not to ruin this negotiation."
Upon hearing this, many of the Federation's Heavenly King frowned, puzzled by Xu Yuan's actions.
Saying such things directly to the face of a king-level ferocious beast is simply giving them the opportunity to make exorbitant demands.
Ning Chuan has always been tough and rarely compromises.
If things go wrong, the negotiations could fall apart.
Sure enough, the Blazing Flame Lion's eyes flickered as it sized up Ning Chuan and Xu Yuan, who were locked in a standoff, and it felt there was still a chance.
After thinking for a moment, it came up with an idea and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can understand the difficulties of the ferocious beast clan."
The era of revival is about to begin, and the Federation's Heavenly King possesses a method for cultivating spiritual power.
There are also foreign races now.
If we ferocious beasts want to survive, we must also cultivate.
If the Federation cannot meet our conditions, then there's nothing we can do.
The implication is that if the Federation doesn't agree, the ferocious beasts will join forces with the alien races.
Many of the Heavenly King frowned deeply, clearly worried.
Xu Yuan sat upright, his expression indifferent, but a hint of mockery flickered in the corner of his eye as he glanced at Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan glanced at the Blazing Flame Lion, too lazy to delay any longer, and said, "If you want the Divine Wave Meditation Method, agree to my conditions; otherwise, leave."
As for threatening with other races, let's not talk about that anymore.
"You should know better than I whether we can obtain methods for cultivating spiritual power from the Council."
Upon hearing this, the expression of the three-headed River Realm beast froze, then vanished in a flash.
But the Heavenly King's senses were sharp, and he clearly perceived everything.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the conference room.
"Fire Lion, you've grown bold, haven't you? Waving your flag in front of my Federation, you think I won't skin you alive?!"
"A risk-free, highly profitable business, huh!"
"You think humans are easy to bully? We gave you the Divine Wave Meditation Method, and instead of being grateful, you dare to bargain!"
The Heavenly King realized what was happening and surrounded the three-headed River Realm beast, their expressions turning hostile.
Nine out of ten alien races did not offer a trade for a method of cultivating spiritual power.
Even if such conditions exist, the requirements would be extremely stringent, far less favorable than those offered by the Federation!
The ferocious beasts of the Three-Headed River Realm lied throughout, relying on their alien race to intimidate the Federation with various overt and covert threats.
However, although these Heavenly King were annoyed and their expressions were not pleasant, their tension had dissipated considerably.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the negotiations are essentially on track to succeed.
There was only one exception.
Xu Yuan!
Noticing the gazes directed at him, his composure vanished, and his face instantly darkened, as if it were about to drip water.
Ning Chuan exposed the false trump card of the King-level ferocious beast, not only thwarting his plan to strip the Divine Wave Meditation Method, but more importantly, demonstrating his previous incompetence in negotiations.
King-level ferocious beasts would never cooperate with alien races.
Blindly agreeing makes him look like a clown!
Thinking back to the argument with Ning Chuan...
Xu Yuan clenched his fists tightly, feeling utterly humiliated; his skin felt like it was about to burst from the force.
