Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

If possible, we should draw up a contract to ensure a thousand-year peace.

However, this thing is like child's play.

War has never been bound by a contract.

"The princess knows exactly where the nearest exit is..."

"The Sea of ​​Infinity..."

Yue Li understood what Su Chen meant.

That place is now the battlefield where Luoyan City and Xueyuan Pavilion have been locked in a stalemate for three years.

The two armies were separated by the city of Tian Shu, their banners covering the sky.

Once the demon race shows itself, the cultivator armies of both sides will immediately have to turn their spears towards the demon race.

"The territory issue is easy to discuss."

"However, if I want to migrate smoothly, it seems that I will have to talk to my two Daoist partners this time."

Yue Li stared at Su Chen's profile, remaining silent for a long time.

Those two were naturally City Lord Lin of Luoyan City and Sect Master Bai of Xueyuan Pavilion.

This man was mediating between the two women, and he even included the lives of more than 40,000 demons in this game.

He calculated everything meticulously, yet his face still held that lazy, listless look.

My father lived for thousands of years, but in terms of intelligence, he couldn't even compare to half of this man.

Yue Li lowered her eyes, burying those words deep in her heart.

The dim luminous pearl suddenly lit up again on its own.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, blew into the narrow alley in the east of the city, all the way to the end of the alley.

At the entrance of Tingxue Danfang, a wooden sign saying "No Visitors Allowed" has been hung up again.

The cultivators in line dispersed, grumbling and cursing. Some even looked back before leaving, muttering about how the alchemy shop closed every few days, and whether it was still doing business at all.

The underground heating system in the back room was burning brightly.

Lin Wanwan arrived first.

This woman is too smart.

Su Chen liked her for this reason: she was insightful and exceptionally intelligent.

That's why it's difficult to deal with.

She swung her delicate feet and pouted as soon as she came in.

Eighth floor means they already know that Su Chen needs something from her.

Before half a cup of tea had been brewed, the curtain was lifted again.

Bai Luwei, dressed in a frosty white sect leader's robe, appeared noticeably more naive compared to Lin Wanwan.

The two women's eyes met briefly, then they looked away.

No one spoke first.

Su Chen was too lazy to wait, so he pushed the teacup onto the table.

"Su wants a ceasefire between the two sides."

"From the Sea of ​​Infinity northwards, all the way to the Cangwu Ridge, both sides withdrew their troops, making way for a path."

"The demon race is allowed to pass through."

The room fell silent.

A piece of charcoal in the brazier collapsed with a hissing sound.

Lin Wanwan put down her teacup, not in a hurry to answer.

Lin Wanwan didn't want a ceasefire.

After three years of fighting, half of the city beneath Luoyan City was scorched by the flames of war, and the spirit stones in the treasury were flowing out like water.

Why was Luoyan City the first to retreat?

My husband's words are tantamount to me, the city lord, taking the initiative to back down in front of Bai Luwei.

From now on, in her husband's heart and in Bai Luwei's eyes, Luoyan City will be inferior.

Bai Luwei twirled her fingertips inside her sleeve.

Allowing the demon race to pass through the middle of Xueyuan Pavilion's defenses is tantamount to handing a knife to one's own throat.

The disciples of Xueyuan Pavilion have fought against the demon race for generations, and the bones of many of their predecessors are still buried under the snowfields of Black Mountain.

Once this door is opened, the elders and devotees in the pavilion will probably wear down the threshold of the sect leader's hall.

But if it shouldn't be...

Even if my husband can't get things done, as long as Lin Wanwan nods first, I'll be considered inferior in his eyes.

The two women each had their own thoughts, and the air in the room gradually froze.

Wang Mei stepped forward with the teapot, first refilling Lin Wanwan's water, then Bai Luwei's, her wrist steady so that not a single drop spilled.

After finishing, he retreated to the medicine cabinet without saying a word.

Su Chen was speechless; his Daoist partner.

Why does he, the Talon player, have to beg those two?

Hmph, those two women deserve a good beating.

I'll have to use the dual cultivation technique to give him a little punishment later...

"So, you want your husband to beg you two?"

"Whether I help or not is irrelevant."

"Both of you are leaders of your respective regions, and now you've gained considerable influence."

"However, the matter of breaking through realms through dual cultivation..."

"Whoever cooperates well, I will help them first, my husband."

Upon hearing this, both women's expressions changed simultaneously.

Wang Mei kept her head down, fiddling with an empty porcelain bottle on the medicine cabinet, without even lifting her eyelids.

These two are both incredibly strong.

With just one sentence from its master, the two fierce tigers were completely under his control.

Actually, it doesn't really matter who comes first or last.

But this concerns the future status of the two Daoist partners.

However, Su Chen could only manage a wry smile.

If these two women were to ascend to the upper realm in the future...

He met Lin Zhiya, and that was compounded by Lin Zhiya's personality.

This is likely to cause chaos within the Haori Sect.

In this respect, Wang Yuyan and Li Tianqi are actually more understanding...

"The cultivators and disciples of Luoyan City shall withdraw from the north side of Tian Shu Star City within three days."

"Two days at Xueyuan Pavilion."

The two started arguing again...

"it is good."

"Then I, Su, will go to Cangwu Ridge to check out the place first."

"Please enjoy your tea, gentlemen."

Once the curtain fell, only three women remained in the room.

Neither Lin Wanwan nor Bai Luwei made a move.

Wang Mei hesitated for a moment, then picked up the teapot again.

The mountain ridges, a deep blue-green color, stretch for miles and seem to go on forever.

Su Chen withdrew his escape light and landed in a mountain hollow.

Cangwu Ridge is nestled between the Xuanhuang and Heishan continents.

The location is quite good; to the south lies a major human city, and to the north, a snowfield...

Moreover, no other sects have ever set foot in this place.

Further away from human territory.

With one step, the void trembled.

Su Chen slowly landed on the mountain ridge...

Although he had concealed his cultivation level, he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

But that kick did make quite a commotion.

Seven or eight figures suddenly emerged from the woods on both sides, completely blocking the mountain path.

The leader was a thin-faced man in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He looks like a rogue cultivator from somewhere.

Judging from his attire, he's definitely not a nice guy.

"Where did it come from?"

"Just passing by."

Su Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

After all, we still need to investigate this place further.

"I've heard that Cangwu Ridge is a spacious area, and I, Su, would like to come here and buy a place within a thousand miles."

The thin-faced man paused for a moment, exchanged glances with the men around him, and then burst out laughing.

"Buy the mountain?"

"Alright, all the mountains of Cangwu Ridge shall be under the jurisdiction of my Chishui Alliance."

"If you want to buy it, you have to see our leader first."

These words carried a hint of sarcasm.

How much wealth can a Nascent Soul cultivator possess?

They also want to buy the Thousand Mile Spirit Mountain?

Just kidding?

Besides, the person in front of me looks young; he's probably a fool.

What value is there in buying this barren mountain?

Good places are occupied by the capable, and strength is paramount.

If it were truly powerful, why would it need to be bought?

Therefore, most of the people in front of you are just young masters with some spiritual stones and no real ability.

We can make a hefty profit from this.

The Chishui Alliance's stronghold was nestled at the foot of a cliff in the heart of the Cangwu Mountains...

Su Chen was led into some kind of so-called "Hall of Righteousness"...

Just from the name.

It doesn't seem like an alliance of monks.

It's more like a wild and untamed place in the mortal world.

The auras of Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation were mixed together; roughly speaking, there were about ten Deity Transformation cultivators.

The man in the main seat was burly and broad-shouldered, with his shirt open and an old scar running across his chest.

Late stage of Nascent Soul transformation.

Chai Yue, leader of the Chishui Alliance.

Chai Yue looked Su Chen up and down, then grinned.

...
