Unable to Wait

The satellite's positioning of the ship was very precise, pinpointing exactly which area of the Thousand Islands Alliance the ship would approach, even if that area wasn't a port.

To facilitate a chance encounter between Zhang Huang and Hu Yu, the Thousand Islands Alliance set up dozens of temporary roadside stalls nearby in advance, where priests and priests from various sects disguised themselves as backpackers, online celebrities filming videos, chefs, and diners.

Zhang Huang is the small business owner of these roadside stalls, responsible for visiting his shop in various locations.

"You're doing pretty well!"

Upon learning that Huang's soul was in decline and that he had risked possessing a body lacking consciousness to gain a new life and even run a chain business to adapt to modern life, Hu Yu was unusually moved.

Compared to Hu Yu and Hu Hao, who are descendants in the bloodline sense, Hu Yu does indeed favor Huang more, even though Huang is only the only fanatic who survived his rigorous training back then. Huang has at least spent decades with Hu Yu.

Tiger Feather felt a pang of nostalgia upon seeing old acquaintances, but he couldn't stop moving forward.

He needs to travel to the Scarlet Alliance State to carry out a surprise attack in the most covert way, and then kill Zhang Xuezhou or reclaim Yunyi, otherwise he will be caught in a long and arduous journey.

In a monk's life, traveling long distances is a pure waste of life.

Most monks spend nearly half of their lives traveling, leaving very little time for actual business and spiritual practice.

This is undeniably an absurd situation, yet it is also a very real problem.

Tiger Feather couldn't stand this situation, and he had to change everything.

He was willing to communicate with Zhang Huang partly because of their past interactions, but more so because Hu Yu wanted to leverage Zhang Huang's familiarity with the local area to arrange the fastest car and the most convenient way for him to reach the Scarlet Alliance State.

After exchanging only ten or so sentences, Hu Yu directly stated his requirements.

"I joined an organization and have heard about you, including the story of that Zhang Xuezhou Sequence Holder repeatedly caused trouble for you in Qinmeng. I've also contacted him repeatedly!"

Zhang Huang spoke with extreme caution.

He regarded Hu Yu as a lifelong friend, but Zhang Huang was not a fool. He had new friends, and he and Zhang Xuezhou even shared the same bloodline, creating an inexplicable and inexplicable bond.

Zhang Huang had hardly ever spent time with Zhang Weimeng, Song Fengying, and the others, but his blood ties with them allowed him to integrate into the group without any barriers.

He looked at the white-browed, white-haired human-shaped Tiger Feather before him. Apart from the change in his fur, he could hardly see any change in Tiger Feather's appearance.

The other party was indeed Hu Yu, the same 'Yu' from his memory.

During the thousand years of his torment of missing 'Feather', Tiger Feather also forgot him for a thousand years.

He didn't know Hu Yu's past, but Zhang Huang knew that the extinction of human habitation and the emergence of strange and ferocious beasts on the Qin Meng Continent were highly likely related to Hu Yu.

This was not the gentle and patient 'Yu' he remembered, but Zhang Huang didn't know why he had maintained his idealized perception of Hu Yu.

He had considered various options and uttered the most important sentence that needed to be inserted after they had become familiar with each other.

"His name is Zhang Xuezhou?"

Hu Yu's gaze sharpened in an instant as he scrutinized Zhang Huang's body from head to toe, his eyes almost freezing Zhang Huang in place.

"Yes," Zhang Huang nodded, "He is the leader of our Gene Sequence organization and also guides our cultivation!"

"Oh!"

"He knows about dimensional ascension, and after reviewing many cases, he's worried about being targeted and eliminated by you, so he's thinking of striking first," Zhang Huang said earnestly.

When did this surname appear in the Tiger Saint Realm?

Hu Yu scrutinized Zhang Huang.

The initial casual conversation was fine, but Zhang Huang's mention of these matters would inevitably make him pay attention and scrutinize every word Zhang Huang said in order to ascertain the truth.

What pleased Hu Yu was that Zhang Huang had not lied so far, but had been telling the truth.

"His whereabouts are somewhat mysterious; he often appears and disappears without a trace. He taught us the ability to cultivate Gene Sequence, but he didn't tell us about the Tiger Saint Realm," Zhang Huang said. "He actually didn't want to clash with you, but based on past cases, he had no choice but to target you!"

"Oh!"

"If possible, I would like to act as a mediator to resolve this conflict," Zhang Huang said. "As long as you agree, I am willing to persuade him!"

"Oh!"

Tiger Feather gave a soft snort.

While he was having a headache over Zhang Xuezhou, the other party was clearly having a headache over him as well.

Possessing the origin of the world, he is the most powerful force in this world, and no one can defeat him. If he hadn't damaged himself to exchange for cloud wings, Hu Yu wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation.

"Make him return my Cloud Wings, return them to Hu Hao, and dismantle the Crimson Gold Cloud Wings, and I might spare his life," Hu Yu stated directly.

"I've had discussions with them, and a crucial condition was that negotiations must not be conducted in a way that harms either side!"

Zhang Huang's heart skipped a beat.

If Li Yingbo and others hadn't conducted a pre-game rehearsal and provided multiple ways to deal with Hu Yu's reaction, Zhang Huang, acting as a persuader, would have reached a stalemate after only a few words.

Compared to the proof Zhang Xuezhou needed, Hu Yu's mindset was clearly to eliminate future troubles.

If Zhang Xuezhou and others agree to these conditions, there will be no possibility of negotiation where they can exert equal control, and they will be doomed.

Zhang Huang had to emphasize this.

He hoped that they could leave each other alone, with Hu Yu peacefully ascending to higher dimensions on the Qin Meng continent, while they lived normal lives on other continents, each minding their own business.

"As a gesture of goodwill, Zhang Xuezhou is willing to return the Cloud Wings that belong to you," Zhang Huang proactively offered, adding, "He also promises not to bother you again, as long as you don't arbitrarily change the weather conditions!"

"No... oh, what are his conditions for showing my sincerity?"

Hu Yu was about to vehemently criticize Zhang Huang's proposed conditions as being far from sufficient, but then he realized that the advantageous conditions needed to be achieved step by step, and his anxious heart calmed down.

Regardless of what happens, let's retrieve our own Cloud Wings first.

Even without the Azure Cloud Wings and Crimson Gold Cloud Wings, his own cloud wings are sufficient to meet most of his needs.

With this unparalleled speed, the advantage will once again be his, and he will be able to make whatever conditions he wants without caring about the present moment.

"He doesn't have any special requests," Zhang Huang shook his head and took out the magic stone and spirit jade again, saying, "However, he hopes you will transform these two jades into mountains. This jade represents him, and the other jade represents you. The two mountains formed from the jades will be closely connected, which also means that your alliance remains unchanged!"

"That's interesting!"

Tiger Feather glanced at it and casually grabbed the magic stone.

The magic stone was crushed into powder in his hand, causing Zhang Huang's eyelids to twitch. He then saw the previously crushed magic stone be restored to its original shape in Hu Yu's hand.

"If he wants to form an alliance with me, he should at least come to see me in person!" Tiger Feather said, clutching the magic stone.

"If you transform into a jade mountain, he is willing to come with cloud wings!"

"Oh!"

Tiger Feather's gaze swept over Zhang Huang, the magic stone in his hand spinning continuously in his palm, and then began to be wrapped with multicolored light.

When he reached out and threw his hand toward the rocky mountain on the coast, the distant mountain rapidly changed color, and the entire rock layer turned into magic stone.

"Since this is a closely linked alliance, I have already shown half of my sincerity. If he is willing to come, I will show the other half!"

Tiger Feather did not do things properly the first time; he merely transformed a magic stone mountain instead of creating a spirit jade mountain.

He gestured to Zhang Huang, indicating that he had done what he needed to do, and Zhang Huang at least needed to send back the agreement before they could discuss the next step.

In Hu Yu's imagination, Zhang Huang should have difficulty communicating and require repeated discussions.

However, Zhang Huang took out his communicator and spoke only a few words before his request was met; Zhang Xuezhou was willing to come in person to negotiate.
