"Well... how should I put it? Your attitude is much stronger than they imagined. Now they are confused and have no new negotiation plan for the time being."
At the reception, Ning Tian carefully selected his words and revealed the situation of Shrek to Xu Tianxi.
Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up. "So, now we can talk about whatever we want? It doesn't matter if we ask for a high price?"
Ning Tian's mouth twitched, and he nodded, "It's fine if you want to understand it this way, but I'm quite curious, why didn't you save the lives of those two people?"
"If you do this, Shrek will fight you to the death. When they return, they will definitely take revenge with all their might."
Xu Tianxi looked at Ning Tian in surprise and asked, "Do you think Shrek can still pose a threat to us now?"
"It's not that I look down on Shrek and the original three kingdoms. The strongest man in our country has already demonstrated it once in Xingluo City last time. No matter how many Title Douluo and Super Douluo Shrek has, they are nothing in front of him."
"As long as he wants, he can slaughter everyone in Shrek by himself. If no Ultimate Douluo comes out, no matter how many come, they will die."
Hearing this, Ning Tian couldn't help but think of the old man in hemp clothes with a bright moon hanging over his head. His scalp tingled and he asked, "Who gave the order to kill Qian Duoduo and Lin Huiqun?"
"I don't know about that." Xu Tianxi leaned back and laughed, refusing to admit it.
After that, he wiped his nose seriously and analyzed:
"But he is probably the only one who can give this order. Without his order, my brothers and sisters would not dare to take action."
"Maybe he felt that Shrek's attitude of begging for mercy was not respectful enough, and his gesture was not standard enough, so he wanted to kill two people for fun. Who knows?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep look of fear flashed across Ning Tian's cheek. He killed two top captives just because he was in a bad mood. The temperament of the strongest man in the Sun-Moon Empire was so terrifying.
Could it be that those who obey will prosper, and those who disobey will perish? Anyone who is unwilling to kneel down will end up like this? After thinking about it, Ning Tian felt that the idea of the elders of his own sect to negotiate terms was a bit ridiculous. Even Shrek was like this, let alone the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
"This... Let me ask for our sect, if, if we surrender now, what are the benefits?"
Xu Tianxi's eyes flashed with surprise, then he returned to normal, and said calmly: "How can I say this for sure? Even though I was given a small title of Marquis, I am actually just a decoration without real power. Few people take me seriously. The most I can do is to ask my senior brothers for you."
"As the saying goes, everything has a price. Can you please tell me a little about the strength of your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect so that I can talk to my brothers and sisters and at least get you a powerful marquis. Commercial tax exemptions are of course just a side issue."
Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "For the sake of your reputation as Yue Hou, I will tell you that you must not deceive an ignorant girl like me. The hopes of our entire sect rest on you..."
"Don't worry, I, Kong, always value trust and integrity."
…
The worship hall.
"The situation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is roughly like this. There are more than 3,000 disciples in the sect, five Titled Douluo, two Super Douluo, and the strongest is the ninety-sixth-level Emperor Sword Douluo Long Shang. This person has not left his home for many years, and few people in the spirit master world know of his existence."
Xu Tianxi sat in the recliner, gesturing with his fingers, and relayed the situation to Kong Deming and Ye Yulin.
"This strength is not weak. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still has some foundation." Ye Yulin commented.
Generally, a sect with a Titled Douluo in charge is a first-rate existence. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has seven of them, and their strength is quite impressive.
"After all, in this era, it is much easier for spirit masters to break through to the Titled Douluo level. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not short of money, and they can produce some Titled Douluo by spending resources."
Xu Tianxi stretched and yawned, "I think Ning Tian may be hiding something, but not much. How to appease them is up to you two."
Ye Yulin continued to ask for details: "When are they going to surrender to Sun and Moon?"
Xu Tianxi spread out his five fingers and said, "Ning Tian said that they have a large business network and fixed assets in the former Three Kingdoms that need to be dealt with. If all these are done well, it would be best if they could move their entire clan to Mingdu in time for the next competition."
"Before that, they are willing to secretly provide us with some necessary information, but they also have a request, which is that my soul experiment must be participated in by a direct disciple of their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."
Kong Deming half opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Xu Tianxi pondered and said, "In my opinion, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect still has a very high historical status, has great political significance, and is also quite powerful. We can use them as an example."
"Since they took the initiative to surrender with their entire clan, I think we can give the current Nine Treasures Glazed clan leader a marquis-level title. We can arrange for something like Marquis of Anle or Marquis of Guiming. After all, this thing is not worth much."
"Of course, these two titles have some special meanings. You can also think of other ones. It doesn't matter."
Ye Yulin asked curiously, "Not giving it to the Duke? It doesn't matter, right?"
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "The title of Duke is reserved for the royal families of the three great empires. Besides, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect might want to make contributions and advance in the future. If we promote them to the top now, what will happen if there is no more title to be given in the future? The position of Prince is not easy to give. There seems to be no precedent of Princes of other surnames in the history of our country. At most, they can be given the title posthumously."
Dean Hongchen controls two major institutions, Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Although he holds a high position and has great power, he is only a duke. If he dies of old age one day, the emperor will probably posthumously confer the title of a prince on him.
However, if he could produce Experimental Subject Zero and develop a groundbreaking humanoid soul guide mecha, he might be able to set an example and break the record.
Ye Yulin suddenly realized: "Junior brother is right, I was too superficial."
Kong Deming saw the conversation between the two and laughed and scolded: "Xiao Ye, if you are not clear-headed, you should ask your junior brother for advice. However, your brain is not suitable for participating in court affairs."
"Tianxi, why are you so interested in these things? You even know the history of your country so clearly."
Xu Tianxi smiled, spread his hands, and looked suddenly bleak. He sighed, "Have you forgotten how my mother's family fell into such a state? I can't ignore these things."
"These days, the affairs of the court are the most sinister. If you are not careful, even the princes of the royal family will end up in such a miserable situation, with their bodies and families destroyed."
Kong Deming heard it without any doubt, stood up and walked forward, patting Xu Tianxi on the shoulder.
After a moment, he comforted her, "Let the past be the past. The emperor's entire family is dead. When the uproar happened, I was in seclusion in the Worship Hall, otherwise I would never have allowed that son to do such a thing."
"You are now my successor. No one in the Sun Moon Empire can touch you, including the man on the throne." Xu Tianxi nodded, then suddenly raised his head and smiled,
"Speaking of the former emperor, his only son is not dead and has gone to Shrek. We caught him back earlier. How do you think we should deal with him?"
"Or should we care about him?"
Kong Deming's eyes flashed, "There are such prisoners among the Shrek students? I was only focused on capturing Zhang Lexuan at the time and didn't pay much attention to it."
Ye Yulin pondered, "The one who massacred the entire royal family was the Holy Spirit Cult leader Zhongli Wu. What does this old man do for a living? He can't even do such a simple job? How could he still leave someone alive?"
Many people want to kill the former emperor's entire family, but due to their status, they can only let evil soul masters do it.
Xu Tianxi was also a little puzzled: "I don't know. I sent people to check the records of Xu He, that is, He Caitou in Shrek. He was picked up by Fan Yu, the director of Shrek's Soul Guidance Department, in the Tianhun Empire. Zhongli Wu's business ability is so poor that he actually had the strength to escape to Tianhun."
"No wonder he is only a leader and not a supreme worshiper. He is far inferior to Xuan Zi."
Kong Deming raised his hand: "Forget it, let's not think about the evil spirit master's mess. Now think about this Xu He. His use is almost the same as chicken ribs... It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away."
This former prince is currently the number one genius in Shrek's Soul Guidance Department. If he is sent back as an undercover agent... his effect will be almost zero.
The Sun-Moon Empire doesn't need Shrek's garbage, but it's not completely useless either. Maybe it can provide Shrek with a route of action.
But the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect might be able to provide better information of this kind.
Xu Tianxi asked tentatively: "Then...should we kill them like those two people?"
"Well... just lock him up first and don't let him out of our sight. Of course, Tianxi, if you want to kill him to relieve your hatred, that's up to you."
Kong Deming said it didn't matter whether to kill or not, it was all up to Xu Tianxi to decide.
"I'm not so petty as to vent my anger on a loser like him."
Xu Tianxi waved his hand and asked again: "What about the current negotiations? How do you think it will end?"
Ye Yulin said: "I think they don't dare to mention Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao anymore. At most, they will take the others back to save face."
"After arguing with them for seven days, it's finally over. If I had known earlier, I should have thrown those two guys' heads up here."
Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and said, "If you had thrown it right away, the effect would not be as good as it is now; now some people from the original three countries might think that they pushed us too hard and that's why we took the knife."
"By the way, Mr. Kong, where is Zhang Lexuan? I want to take her to meet her fellow juniors. It's time to make them despair."
Kong Deming's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "I'll go for a walk with you."
"good."
…
"Boom—"
In the dead of night, the gate of Shrek prison opened again.
Xu Tianxi was still among the people who came in this time, but the person next to him had changed. It was not Xu Sanshi, but Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister that all the students were thinking about.
Next to him was Kong Deming, whose eyes were half closed and his feet were hanging in the air.
Xiao Hongchen was still following behind, taking pictures and preparing a speech in his mind.
Ling Luochen, who had the highest cultivation, woke up first. Looking at Zhang Lexuan, who had a miserable face and tears in her eyes, he asked in surprise, "Big Sister, why are you here?"
Students such as Huyan Bashan, She Yang, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, and the only teacher Wang Yan woke up one after another, and ran to the fence, casting expectant glances at the senior sister.
Zhang Lexuan burst into tears and did not answer Ling Luochen's question. She sobbed and said, "Dean Qian and Elder Lin are dead."
Boom boom——
The sound like thunder and lightning seemed to explode in the minds of every student and Wang Yan, making them at a loss and in a trance.
Did Elder Lin, whose cultivation level was as high as ninety-sixth level, and Dean Qian, whose cultivation level was as high as ninety-fourth level, just die like that?
"How did they die?" Wang Yan asked loudly.
Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and did not answer.
Kong Deming glanced at everyone and said leisurely: "The apparent reason is that they died of hunger strike, but in reality, it was naturally me who sent someone to send them off."
"You Shrek people have no sense of responsibility. You came to rescue me and argued for seven days and seven nights. You are unwilling to agree to the conditions. Unfortunately, my patience is limited. I'd rather die and have peace."
Xu Tianxi took over the conversation and said with a faint smile: "There are four core targets that Shrek wants to rescue this time. Two of them have been dealt with by us, one is already standing beside us, and the last twin martial spirit is with you. Please think carefully about how to choose."
"Our patience is limited. Being alive is better than being dead."
He placed one hand on Zhang Lexuan's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Aunt Xuan, do you think I'm right?"
Zhang Lexuan's thin shoulders began to tremble violently.
