Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 304 Deterrence and refuge

Xia He walked towards the door, and realized that the Heavenly Grade martial artist who was in ambush wanted to stop them, but the Xiangx King behind him raised his hand to stop everyone, Xia He smiled slightly, and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion like a leisurely stroll.

After returning to the camp, Xia He told Gongyang Qianruo about the negotiation, and Gongyang Qianruo said noncommittally, "It's fine if you don't easily trigger the war, Junior Brother Xia, you are right, Diaoyu City can experience many wars." If the siege city is still standing, it must be of extraordinary strength, tell me, whether this King Xiangxue will surrender smoothly."

Xia He analyzed, "Xiang Axe is a smart man, he is very powerful, and he has dozens of heavenly warriors under him. The strength is equivalent to the sum of two or three war departments. Even if we insist on storming Diaoyu City, the result will only be the same as Just like the previous war department, it is better to use the power of the sect to suppress King Xiangxue and let him join us, this way, it will be more beneficial for us to obtain resources."

Gongyang Qianruo also agrees with Xiahe's move, but he still has doubts. "Xiang Axe has never seen the power of Great Cultivator Nascent Soul, what if he is still lucky and refuses to give in?"

"Then there is no other way, kill." Xia He said coldly, "Our two war headquarters have entered the new world for a few days, and if we don't fight a battle to show our prestige, how can we deter the world in the future? Use him to stand up."

Gongyang Qianruo looked at Xiahe's decisive appearance, with admiration in his eyes, "Okay, then according to what you said, give them five days to think about it."
Xiahe and Gongyangqianruo restrained the people in the war department, stationed in place, and could not easily provoke a war. During this period, a major event happened. King Xiangxue sent a team of soldiers to deliver dozens of carts of gifts. Xiahe ordered his men to He opened the cloth covering the car, and in an instant, he heard everyone behind him take a breath of air at the same time.

Gongyang Qianruo stared at the ore and medicinal materials on the cart, and muttered to himself, "Is this King Xiangxe an idiot? With such huge wealth, does he still expect us to give up easily?"

"My God, here are all middle-grade spirit stones, and there is also a carload of top-grade spirit stones. These mortals are too rich."

"Star-spotted konjac, monkey tail vine fruit, double-faced grimacing flower, these are all extinct elixir, they are piled together like a bundle of cabbage, it is really blind."

"Bat pearl sand, what a precious material this is. Back then when my master condensed the natal magic weapon, because he didn't have enough money, he only added three taels of bat pearl sand to it, and the power was already extraordinary. It actually weighs ten catties."

"It's really a bunch of local rich people. It's unreasonable not to rob them all."

Xia He lightly pointed at the crazy war department member, "Brother Gongyang, money touches people's hearts. King Xiangxue's move is to frighten us with money. He doesn't know how powerful the Sifang Immortal Sect is behind us. It can be turned into a joke."

Gongyang Qianruo said bitterly, "It's really stupid. Even if we don't want to fight, the eyes of the subordinates are red when they see so many spirit stone medicinal materials, and they can't suppress it anymore."

Xia He smiled, "Senior Brother Gongyang, no matter how powerful the Xiangx King is, it is just the mind of a mortal. He can't understand the strength of us immortal cultivators, so he resorted to such clumsy methods. If we are ordinary chaos , maybe they will be bribed. Now, we still need to see the answer given by King Xiangxue."

Gongyang Qianruo pointed to the belongings on dozens of carts and asked Xia He, "Junior Brother Xia, how do we divide these things?"

Xia He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Gongyang, please pick out the things that are suitable for use, and distribute the rest to the generals and soldiers below."

Gongyang Qianruo asked curiously, "Why, Junior Brother Xia isn't interested?"

Xia He waved his hand, "I don't have anything I want right now."

Gongyang Qianruo said comprehendingly, "Oh, I see, Master Zhenlian must have rewarded Junior Brother Xia with a lot of treasures, how could Junior Brother Xia be interested in these ordinary things." Yang Qianruo has also heard about it, and he also thinks that Xia He's financial resources all come from Elder Zhenlian.

"However..." Gongyang Qianruo changed his tone, "Junior Brother Xia, the war department has its own rules. When it comes to sharing benefits, the people above don't nod, and the people below dare not stretch out their hands. Everyone in this batch of supplies You have a share, Junior Brother Xia and you are no exception, if you refuse to accept it, I am afraid that the generals and soldiers below will not dare to accept it either."

Therefore, Gongyang Qianruo's subordinates were responsible for dividing the gifts. Yin Wenxiu from Xiahe's side testified and distributed the supplies to everyone in the two war departments. Gongyang Qianruo and Xiahe also received their respective shares.

Three days later, Gongyang Qianruo called Xia He to him, and said to him solemnly, "Xia He, something serious happened."

Seeing that Gongyang Qianruo's application was not good, Xia He knew that the so-called big thing must not be a good thing, so he immediately asked, "What is it?"

"Suzaku Yuzong has arrived in the new world." Gongyang Qian Ruoyi immediately threw out a shocking news, "He razed a city to the ground as soon as he made a move. The people and animals in the city were wiped out, and no one was spared."

Xia He was a little surprised. After all, Sifang Xianzong and Tumu Tianbao had similar goals. They both wanted to occupy the rich land in the New World and seize local resources. They had no deep hatred with the local residents. Killing people was only a means of conquest, not an end. There is no need for such a tragic thing like the massacre of the city. Although the Suzaku lineage is a yin cultivator, it is not bloodthirsty. It is really puzzling for Suzaku Yuzong to do such a thing.

"It's bad this time." Xia He was a little worried. "Suzaku Yuzong is a member of Tumu Tianbao. Right now, he is the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the new world. We don't have the strength to fight against him. If he disregards his status and starts divination, what should we do?"

Gongyang Qianruo patted him on the shoulder, and said consolingly, "Don't worry, our people have heard the news and immediately passed it back to the Zongmen. Don't dare to be too presumptuous."

Xia He suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "Xiang Axe King didn't believe in the existence of Great Cultivator Nascent Soul at first, but if he hears this little news, what kind of reaction will he have?"

Gongyang Qianruo said, "In my opinion, Suzaku Yuzong did the right thing. Although these mortals have some power, they are still hard to compete with us immortal cultivators. Let them recognize the reality early and get rid of their arrogance. Good thing."

Xia He's conjecture was soon fulfilled. Not long after Suzaku Yuzong slaughtered the city, that is, on the fourth day of the five-day period, King Xiangxue sent a messenger to invite Xia He to the city for business.

Xia He asked Gongyang Qianruo's opinion to see if he would go with him, and Gongyang Qianruo said, "One thing is nothing to worry about, since Junior Brother Xia He and King Xiangaxe are old acquaintances, Junior Brother Xia will be fully responsible for the negotiation. Bar."

Xia He came back to the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, he found that the situation in Diaoyu City had become much more tense. There were no civilians on the street, only teams of heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth. The bibliography has also doubled. Xia He knows that this is the impact of Suzaku Yuzong's massacre of the city. Mortals are mortals after all, and they cannot be deterred without absolute power.

King Xiangaxe retreated to the left and right, and personally welcomed Xiahe into the city lord's mansion. This time, there were no warriors in ambush nearby. As soon as Xiahe was seated, King Xiangaxe asked eagerly, "Mr. Xia, is the Bowei City in the west destroyed? It's what you said about the elders in the sect."

King Xiangxue only saw his gray hair in one night. Bowei City in the west is a big city as famous as his fishing city. Destroyed into ruins, the residents of the city, from the city lord to the common people, were not spared. What a terrifying power this is. Upon hearing the news, King Xiangxue's first reaction was not to believe it, but the person who reported the news pledged his life. The story of Bobit City has spread all over the world, and there are survivors who witnessed the whole process outside the city to testify. The attacker is like a demon god. It only took an hour to destroy Bobit City. This shocking news is not fabricated, every word is true .Immediately King Xiangxue thought of what Xia He said, and began to believe it. He was worried about the future of Diaoyu City, and was so anxious that he invited Xia He to the City Lord's Mansion before the five-day deadline. No need, would someone who has the power to destroy a city still use such a small method as assassination?
King Xiangx looked at Xia He nervously, finally Xia He spoke, and he shook his head and said, "No."

King Xiangxue heaved a sigh of relief and was a little disappointed, but Xia He said immediately, "The person who made the move is not one of us. On the contrary, he is the enemy of my master's sect. Our hatred is as deep as sea, and we cannot share the sky."

King Xiangxue didn't react for a moment, and he tried to ask after a long time, "Then, is there such a person in Mr. Xia's school?"

"Of course." Xia He said with a smile, then lowered his voice and stretched out his palm to King Xiangxue, "There must be more than one palm of such a person in my master's school."

"So powerful." King Xiangxue widened his eyes, staring blankly at Xia He's palm, with countless thoughts turning in his mind.

Looking at the hesitant expression of King Xiangxue, Xia He knew that if he worked harder, he would succeed, and then said, "My lord, once this news spreads, the principles of the princes from all walks of life will change. They used to be able to Resist tenaciously, but now, if they don't want the city to be destroyed, the only choice is to join us."

"It's cooperation." King Xiangxue insisted, "Mr. Xia, it can be seen that you are not from this world. You invaded our country for nothing more than medicinal materials, minerals, and spiritual coins, our land and people. It doesn't work for you, so my king's suggestion is that Mr. Xia and the forces he belongs to don't need to do too much. You cooperate with this king. This king can provide everything you want. All Mr. Xia needs to do is Receive supplies on time."

Xia He slumped his body on the back of the seat, listening to Xiang Fu Wang's talk with a blank face, watching the prince's efforts to preserve his kingdom.
