I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2081 Negotiation
The man in the white mask stood beside the table, his eyes swept across the two chairs opposite, his mouth twitching slightly, as if he was suppressing his inner dissatisfaction. Then he took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and tapped the tabletop with his fingers, making a dull sound.

Wu Rendi sat calmly on a chair, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and still had a faint smile on his face.

Liu Junze sat on another chair, his eyes moving back and forth between the two sides with a smile on his face.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn and tense, like a taut string that could break at any time. The eyes of both sides met in the air, as if they were engaged in a silent contest. There was a sense of oppression in the air, like the calm before the storm, foreshadowing the coming storm.

On one side were ten Half-Step God King late-stage warriors led by the white mask, and on the other side was Wu Rendi, who was alone but exuded a suffocating pressure, like an insurmountable mountain.

As for Liu Jun, well, although he is a Divine King, his strength is too low, and almost no one present cares about him.

The white mask took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fluctuations. He knew that the Wu Rendi in front of him was extremely powerful, and even if the ten of them joined forces, they might not be able to gain an advantage.

"Wu Rendi, we are here to talk to you." The voice of the man in the white mask was deep and powerful. "In this war, you who are strong enough to be at the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm or above cannot take action."

Upon hearing this, Wu Rendi curled up a disdainful smile and swept his eyes over the man with white mask and others, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

"Oh, why?" Wu Rendi asked provocatively, his voice full of contempt.

The white mask was filled with rage, but he knew that this was not the time to act impulsively, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and spoke again: "So, let's negotiate! Even those of us who are at the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm or above will not take action."

"You guys? A bunch of trash. Does it matter whether you take action or not?" Wu Rendi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of those wearing white masks and others.

Their faces turned ugly in an instant, but thinking of the tragic scene of the orange mask being slapped away by Wu Rendi, they could only choose to endure it.

The man in the white mask clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He then took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Talk about it. Tell me your conditions."

Seeing this, Wu Rendi's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He slowly put down his hands, and his eyes became deep.

"Okay, since you want to talk, I'll give you a chance." Wu Rendi paused and continued, "My conditions are very simple. In this war, you must surrender unconditionally and compensate the losses of the Skyfire Divine Realm."

"Are you crazy? What's the point of restricting your actions?" The white-masked leader spoke in a low voice with obvious displeasure.

Wu Rendi seemed unusually calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "I am thinking about you, you will surrender sooner or later." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if he was mocking the other party's ignorance.

The white mask snorted coldly, obviously angry at Wu Rendi's attitude. "You don't need to think about this. Tell me some practical conditions."

Wu Rendi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Okay, let me give you some practical advice. Except for your late Half-Step Divine King Realm warriors, no other late Half-Step Divine King Realm warriors on your side are allowed to take action. And we will start the war in a month."

The white mask frowned, obviously surprised by Wu Rendi's conditions. "Are you sure these are the conditions?"

With such simple conditions, White Mask couldn't help but doubt Wu Rendi's intentions.

Wu Rendi sneered, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "What? How about I add some more conditions?"

There was a hint of provocation in these words, as if testing the other party's bottom line.

The white mask was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. "No, I'll do as you say."

Now that the terms had been agreed upon, the man with the white mask took out a piece of yellow cloth, wrote a few words on it, wrote his own name, and then handed the yellow cloth to Wu Rendi.

"Haha, you can even get this thing. You are well prepared." Wu Rendi laughed, took the yellow cloth and wrote his name on it.

This yellow cloth is specifically used for signing contracts, and this kind of contract is witnessed by the way of heaven. As long as the contract is reached, any party that violates the contract will be punished by heaven.

The moment Wu Rendi signed, the yellow cloth emitted a faint light, and this light meant that the contract was reached.

Seeing that the contract was reached, the ten late-stage Half-Step God King Realm warriors led by the white mask breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Of course they knew that if ten people attacked together, they would be able to defeat Wu Rendi, but they were not sure how many people would have to die to do so.

The white mask glanced at the yellow cloth and spoke slowly: "Wu Rendi, since the contract has been signed, we will act according to the agreement. I hope you will not let us down."

Wu Rendi sneered, and his eyes swept over everyone, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "You, who are in the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, may be quite powerful, but in my eyes, you are nothing more than ants. However, since I have signed the contract, I will naturally abide by it."

The faces of the people wearing white masks changed slightly when they heard this, but they soon regained their composure. They knew that Wu Rendi's strength was unfathomable, and even if the ten of them joined forces, they might not be able to win. Now that the contract has been signed, they can only hope that Wu Rendi can keep his promise. "In that case, we will take our leave." The leader of the white mask bowed and turned to leave with everyone.

Wu Rendi watched them leave, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, then he looked down at the yellow cloth in his hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Witness by the Way of Heaven? Humph, it's just some boring tricks."

He casually put the yellow cloth into his arms, turned around and left the meeting room, and went out of Nanjiang City.

At the same time, the ten people in white masks had already left Nanjiang City and were out of Wu Rendi's sight. They stopped and looked at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes.

"We were really lucky this time." One of them whispered, "If Wu Rendi didn't sign the contract, we would have to pay a heavy price."

The white-masked leader nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wu Rendi's strength is indeed far beyond our expectations. However, since the contract has been signed, we don't need to worry anymore. Next, we just need to act according to the plan and wait for the opportunity."

Everyone nodded, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They knew that although this operation was full of dangers, it had finally achieved its goal. Next, they only needed to wait for the opportunity to completely change the situation.

The night was dark and the stars were dim. The ten people in white masks set off again, walking towards the distance. Their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if they had merged into the endless night.

On the other side, Wu Rendi was walking alone in the wilderness. His steps were slow, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he stopped, looked up at the sky, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Heaven's witness?" Wu Rendi murmured in a low voice, "Heaven? He is nothing but a hypocrite."

Wu Rendi sneered and continued to walk forward. As the night wind blew, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, as if he had merged with the world.

In this endless night, the conclusion of the contract seemed to herald a turning point in fate. However, both Wu Rendi and the people in white masks knew that the real battle had just begun.

In the meeting room, the heavy atmosphere almost froze the air. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and uneasiness. Although the contract signed by Wu Rendi and the ten late-stage Half-Step Divine King Realm powerhouses on the opposite side clearly involved the terms of this war, the question was, weren't they also a party to the war? However, from the beginning to the end of the negotiations, they seemed to have not participated in the whole process, as if this war had nothing to do with them.

General Nie Yun couldn't help but break the silence, with a hint of anxiety in his voice: "Your Majesty, are they done with the negotiations?"

Liu Jun smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "What else? You also want to sign the contract?"

His eyes swept over the crowd, as if observing everyone's reaction.

General Nie Yun laughed dryly and shook his head: "No need for that. I am not qualified for this."

Military Advisor Chu Liuying was more direct, with a hint of worry in his voice: "Your Majesty, without Senior Wu Rendi's help, can we survive the war in a month?"

His eyes were fixed on Liu Jun, as if looking for a glimmer of hope.

Liu Jun replied confidently: "It's okay, it's not a big problem."

In fact, after Liu Jun mastered the Destruction Space, his realm directly broke through to the early stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. Although he was still inferior to the strong men in the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, he had enough confidence to face the opponents in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm.

After hearing Liu Jun's answer, the doubts in the meeting hall were slightly alleviated. However, the shadow of war still loomed in everyone's mind. They knew that the next month would be a critical moment to determine victory or defeat.

Liu Jun stood up, his eyes swept over everyone, and his voice was full of majesty: "Everyone, in the next month, we need to go all out and make all preparations. The outcome of the war will depend on our efforts and determination."

Everyone nodded, their fighting spirit rekindled. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would fight side by side to meet the upcoming challenges.

At this moment, the space around Liu Jun suddenly began to waver, as if the water surface was gently stirred, and ripples appeared everywhere. Before he could react, an invisible huge force suddenly attacked and swept him into it. Then, the world seemed to be turned upside down, and the surrounding scene was spinning rapidly. Liu Jun felt dizzy and his eyes were blurred.

When his vision gradually became clear, he found himself in a quiet grove. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees. Wu Rendi was standing beside him, looking indifferent, as if everything that had just happened was just a piece of cake.

Liu Jun looked up and saw the outline of Nanjiang City not far away. The city walls were high and the towering towers were majestic. He then smiled bitterly, with a bit of helplessness and ridicule in his tone: "Senior, if you want to call me over, just tell me directly. It won't take me much time to run over. Why did you use this method? It caught me off guard."

Wu Rendi heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "It has been useless for a long time, I am just practicing."

His tone was relaxed, as if the space transfer just now was just a little trick.

Liu Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart: "What a good practice! If I don't practice well, I will be thrown into the turbulent space. By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find my bones."

Although he was muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. After all, the strength of the senior in front of him was unfathomable, and he was just an ant in front of him.
