Little Brother, Have You Heard the Saying "Leave No Hole Unentered"?
At this point, the battle was clearly nearing its end.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, a group of naked figures were herded into an area on the ground.
For a time, it was a truly magnificent sight.
"I wonder what's going to happen. This scene looks like it's going to be very exciting." In the city, someone looked on with anticipation.
Some people, with wicked smiles on their faces, looked at the group of disciples from the Star Moon Holy Land and said:
"They've all taken their clothes off, and given this atmosphere, we'll probably have to give them some kind of 'Yang Spring Powder' next."
These words immediately astonished countless people around, who all turned their gazes in Celestial Person.
"Damn, man, you're really vicious."
"That's too cruel. They're all men, and they're being fed this Yang Spring Powder'? Are they trying to suffocate them to death?"
"No, no, young man, have you ever heard of the saying 'everywhere is imperceptible'?"
"Hiss--"
The people in the city were excitedly discussing it, filled with all sorts of speculations.
Although the guesses differ, they all have one thing in common.
Cool!
They had been bullied so badly before, and were filled with worry. Now, seeing these disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land being taught a lesson, it was as if they had finally gotten their revenge.
How can we make people feel comfortable?
At the same time, Gu Chen and his group arrived in front of the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land.
This time, it wasn't Gu Chen who took the next step, but Mu Fan.
Although they all concealed their presence, some distinctive features were still discernible from the outside.
For example, there's a figure following beside you, a headless creature with only a body.
As Mu Fan stepped forward, among the crowd, there were quite a few Star Moon Holy Land disciples whose skin was almost charred black all over, and whose hair and eyebrows were shriveled together. Their eyes held extremely complex emotions.
At this moment, Mu Fan looked at Qian Shenglin and got straight to the point, saying:
"Come, let's talk about friendly cooperation."
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land immediately became strange.
Those disciples who saw the charred remains showed even more anger and frustration on their faces.
Friendly cooperation?!
How dare you say that?
They were just throwing talismans at me like crazy, almost treating me like forging material to be melted down. And now they're talking about friendly cooperation?
Then look at those with bumps on their heads, clutching their lower backs, and clenching their buttocks...
Friendly my ass!
Of course, while one may be angry, one should still restrain oneself from speaking.
We're at a disadvantage right now. These figures in black are truly powerful, and they're also cunning. We should be careful to avoid getting hurt again.
"Snort!"
Unlike the others, Qian Shenglin immediately snorted coldly upon hearing Mu Fan's words, stared directly at Mu Fan, and said:
"If you want to cooperate amicably, then return what you took first."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fan gently shook his head:
"Friendly cooperation, cooperation is the most important thing, friendliness is just a embellishment, don't you understand?"
As he spoke, Mu Fan waved his arm, and a scroll appeared in the void, suddenly unfurling.
Everyone turned to look.
Inside the scroll, there were clearly lines of text, and upon closer reading, the content was quite detailed.
To summarize the key points above, there are roughly the following main points:
The city occupied by Qian Shenglin and others is subordinate to Eighteen City, and they must provide a new city to occupy every five days at most.
Every day, more than 500 spirit beasts must be presented as tribute to the Eighteen City. They must be alive, but not too alive; they should be so alive that they could be killed with the slightest touch.
The attack caused significant damage to the Eighteen City, and therefore, various amounts of resources must be paid to the Eighteen City as compensation for the repairs. The required quantities and types of resources are detailed in the appendix, Jade.
During the time spent in the secret realm, those who come today must be available at any time to make up for the time wasted on the Eighteen City.
"Hiss."
After carefully reading through the conditions on the scroll, many disciples of the Five Symbols Sect around them had their eyes light up.
"Champa, tribute, reparations, plus the labor involved—this cooperation is truly... too amicable!"
"I never knew you could do that! I've learned something new. I definitely need to be more friendly when I meet people in the future."
"I see. No wonder I specifically instructed them not to seriously injure these people. It turns out they have other uses. That makes sense. I didn't even think of that. Although they've been stripped naked, these disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land are all big and burly, making them good choices for work."
In an instant, many disciples felt their horizons broadened, and some even took out jade talismans to take notes so they could put them into practice later.
Even the disciples from all walks of life couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw the content on the scroll.
"Such a cleverly crafted excuse is truly worthy of a disciple of Peak Master Lu; we still have much to learn from him."
"Peak Master Lu's disciple is not only exceptionally strong and skilled, but also possesses such remarkable attainments in this area. Truly, there are always those more capable than oneself; we still have much to learn and improve upon."
After reading the contents of the scroll, Xu Hao immediately looked at the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land.
I'm afraid the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land won't agree to such conditions.
Indeed, this was the case. Not to mention agreeing, it was rare to find even one calm and composed person among the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land at this moment.
"That's outrageous! How could we possibly agree to such conditions!"
"That's right! If we agree today, how will we face anyone afterward? How can our dignified Star Moon Holy Land become a laughingstock!"
"Absolutely not! Everything must have its limits. The disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land will never tolerate such humiliation!"
For a moment, the crowd was quite agitated.
Qian Shenglin's face was ashen, and the muscles in his arms bulged high. If his arms hadn't been bound so securely, he would have torn the scroll apart right now.
"Are you insulting my Star Moon Holy Land?!"
A cold glint flashed in Qian Shenglin's eyes as he stared at Mu Fan, the veins on both sides of his head bulging noticeably, like an enraged ape.
"Friendly, friendly," Mu Fan emphasized, then said:
"As the Holy Son and the leader, you shall sign this agreement."
"Don't even think about it!" Qian Shenglin without hesitation.
Leaving aside the immense infamy this would bring, the sheer level of humiliation at this point is absolutely not something one should do.
Moreover, the thwarted expectations and the stripping of his clothes had already filled him with immense resentment.
How could we possibly agree to that!
No one was surprised by this.
It would be strange if they actually signed it.
However, everyone was curious: why resort to such methods in this situation?
Was it coercion? Was it a threat of death?
At this moment, Mu Fan spoke again, saying:
"Since you're unwilling, then tell me your plans for cooperation."
This seemingly enlightened attitude left the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land somewhat bewildered.
What exactly is the other party up to?
"You..."
Qian Shenglin frowned, and just as he opened his mouth...
Brush.
Suddenly, Mu Fan swung his arm, and something flew out with a whoosh, shooting towards the gap between Qian Shenglin's lips.
