Chu Longye, unaware of Ning Chuan's thoughts, nodded upon seeing his agreeable attitude and said, "I will inform you separately of the arrival time of the Divine Child and Divine Maiden. The Ancient Pilgrimage Path has many restrictions on its use; it cannot be used simply because Martial Star has revived."
Without delving any further, he steered the conversation back to the cooperation between the two parties and began negotiating the specifics.
What does Horse Road Mountain need me to do?
Ning Chuan took the initiative to speak, eagerly inquiring, since knowing the job details would make it easier to raise the price.
Chu Longye had already thought it through and said directly, "After the Martial Star revives, your forces must obey the arrangements of the Divine Son and Divine Daughter and seize the ancient lineage of the Martial Star!"
The Ancient Pilgrimage Path has strict restrictions. This applies to Horse Road Mountain, the Moxuan Consortium, and other forces within the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom. The number of people who can enter Martial Star is extremely limited.
Often, only contemporary geniuses, such as divine sons or saints, possess such talents.
To contend for the orthodox lineage, relying solely on oneself is too inefficient.
Rebuilding a power base is too slow.
Supporting local forces is usually the first choice.
"No problem."
Ning Chuan readily agreed.
Seeing this, Chu Longye smiled faintly, then turned his head slightly to look at Li Wenyue, and instructed, "Your Mystic Weapon Pavilion is the same. However, because your strength is only at the River Realm, the treatment you receive in the cooperation will be lower than that of Zhang Tianzhi and the Great River Realm cultivator next to you."
As he spoke, Chu Longye raised his right hand and pointed at Ning Chuan.
Li Wenyue's eyes flickered with a hint of panic as he asked, "You recognize me?!"
Don't be afraid.
Chu Longye grinned, his smile widening, and said mockingly, "As the Grand Elder of the Mystic Weapon Pavilion, how can you have so little courage!"
Li Wenyue quickly turned his head and looked at Ning Chuan beside him, somewhat at a loss.
Ning Chuan had anticipated this and remained calm.
Horse Road Mountain could log into the Heavenly Martial Realm's network. With the technological level they possessed, it would be incredibly easy for him to infiltrate the Holy Heaven Alliance's database and steal information about powerful individuals.
In fact, he didn't let Li Wenyue disguise his identity so that people would recognize him and confirm his identity as the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm in the Holy Heaven Alliance.
The only person who can command such respect from a River Realm Heavenly King is an even stronger Great River Realm Heavenly King.
However, Ning Chuan naturally couldn't show it.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Elder Li, don't worry about it. We already agreed to share the benefits of the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm."
"However, if you reveal my identity..."
Ning Chuan's tone turned cold. He paused, then said, "That means damaging my gains. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Won't!"
Li Wenyue shook his head rapidly, then smiled with feigned delight and said to Chu Longye, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will certainly obey Horse Road Mountain's orders!"
"However, I truly cannot reveal the identity of the Heavenly King Great River Realm beside me."
Li Wenyue added.
"Can."
Chu Longye smiled, his gaze fixed on and sizing up the two of them.
He pointed out Li Wenyue's identity for two reasons: first, to put Ning Chuan in check, and second, to maintain a balance of power.
As for Ning Chuan's identity, that's not a problem.
"Second point."
Chu Longye collected his thoughts, held up two fingers, and then explained the details of the cooperation, saying, "Your two forces need to enter Martial Star ahead of time. We need a location where your lineage might appear in the world, to lay the groundwork for future competition."
"It's not possible right now."
Ning Chuan frowned, turned to Chu Longye, and explained, " The Divine Martial Stele in the North Sea Domain exploded, and the rampant energy has blocked its path. I estimate it will take at least a month for it to dissipate."
"It won't take that long."
Chu Longye shook his head and pondered, "In two or three weeks at most, once the energy level drops to a certain point, the forces of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom will definitely intervene, sending in something that can eliminate the energy and open up the North Sea Domain."
"So urgent?"
Ning Chuan was somewhat surprised and said, " Gu Yunyou said that the Martial Star's revival would occur in early summer."
Chu Longye glanced at him and explained the reason, "This has nothing to do with the plan on Martial Star, it's just because Ning Chuan is trapped on the Blood Curtain Plateau."
Or to be more precise...
Ning Chuan obtained the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor!
"Understood."
Ning Chuan nodded thoughtfully.
Chu Longye continued, " The Moxuan Consortium is not the only force that wants the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor."
If it weren't for the numerous restrictions Ancient Pilgrimage Path, some force would have already intervened, opening up the North Sea Domain so that powerful figures from the Martial Star could go to rescue Ning Chuan or seize his territory.
In any case, we must muddy the waters and prevent the Holy Heaven Alliance from seizing the spoils.
With that, Chu Longye shrugged, grinned, and said, "After all, it's much simpler to snatch the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor from Ning Chuan than to take it directly from the Holy Heaven Alliance!"
"That's not necessarily true..."
A chill ran through Ning Chuan's heart, but his gaze remained calm as he looked at Chu Longye and asked, "Is Horse Road Mountain also one of those forces?"
"Right!"
Chu Longye readily admitted, his face revealing undisguised desire, and asked directly, "Can you seize the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor?"
"As for the price, rest assured, it's absolutely worth the price of several martial arts techniques that grant you the King-Bestowing. You won't be at a disadvantage!"
Chu Longye smiled broadly.
Trading a few King-Bestowing arts techniques for the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor is an absolute steal!
Across from him, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up, revealing his attraction.
But after a moment, he sighed and said, "Difficult! There's almost no chance of success!"
"I saw him once when I was trading with Ning Chuan. His injuries were severe, but his condition wasn't too bad. I estimate that he could probably fight to the death against a few more Great River Realm Heavenly King!"
Ning Chuan shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Most importantly, even if I kill Ning Chuan and seize that Inheritance Stone, Gu Yunyou will take it away, and I won't be able to bring it to the Blood Curtain Plateau."
Bai Zhi had told him some information about the inheritance rights of the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture.
He can decide who will inherit the position.
It doesn't necessarily have to be limited to beings of Martial Star.
However, they cannot be beings from hostile Martial Star.
The Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom definitely does not meet the requirements.
"It's really difficult to solve."
Chu Longye nodded in understanding and said to Ning Chuan, "Since you can't take it, your job is to ensure Ning Chuan's safety."
"At least until the North Sea Domain is opened up, the supreme inheritance of the Prison-Suppressing Manor must not fall into the hands of the Holy Heaven Alliance."
Ning Chuan was speechless.
He's protecting himself?
The concerns these powers of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom have about his safety are probably no less than those of the Federation.
It has a touch of dark humor.
I will try my best.
Ning Chuan nodded in agreement.
"It's not 'try your best,' it's 'must do it.' This is an order. Things from Horse Road Mountain aren't so easy to take!"
Chu Longye's gaze turned cold as he stared directly at Ning Chuan and said solemnly, " The Ancient Pilgrimage Path can only transport matter in one direction now, but after the Martial Star is revived, it can be converted to two-way transport."
If it falls into the hands of the Holy Heaven Alliance, they only need to wait until the Resurrection Era to hand it over to the Moxuan Consortium.
Other forces, including Horse Road Mountain, will have no more chances!
Ning Chuan met his gaze, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and it wasn't hard to imagine the struggle etched on his face beneath the mask.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, gritting his teeth, "Okay!"
I will definitely make Ning Chuan live!
