Chapter 1606: The Struggle for Power
Since ancient times, power has been the supreme thing that people have been chasing, whether it is a well-intentioned pursuit or a malicious one. Almost no one can resist the temptation of power, it is human nature, no one is born with the pleasure of being controlled by others, but the pleasure of giving orders is addictive. Whoever is in power means who makes decisions, if they don't trust each other enough, how can they rest assured of other people's decisions? The Demon Clan in the River and the Jiulan Sect have no trust at all, so whoever leads the other party will be questioned, and it is impossible for them to unite with each other in a way that is integrated. Especially the demon clan in the river is now confident that it is strong and domineering, and its posture is very high, not to mention others, even Cao Xiangu, who is also a shape-shaped demon beast, must not be acceptable. Lu Yi doesn't want to negotiate now, because there is nothing to talk about in the power struggle, but since he promised the Jiulan Sect, it would not be good if he didn't go, so he reluctantly did it.
When the day of negotiation came, the second senior brother and Venerable Ping Jian came to invite Lu Yi early in the morning, accompanied by two monks in the middle stage of soul building. The group of five set off, and after leaving Guanfeng City for nearly a thousand miles, they stopped at a col in the wetland, which was also nearly a thousand miles away from the river of the nearest Thoji River, which was the tipping point of the sphere of influence agreed upon by both parties. Lu Yi has a big head, these two sides are strange enough, just talking in the wilderness like this? At least he should find a place that can block the wind and rain and sit down and communicate calmly, right?
The five of them waited for a while, and five spiritual lights flew from the opposite direction, and after getting closer, Lu Yi saw clearly that they were five monks with the appearance of three men and two women, and it seemed that the two sides had already agreed on the number of negotiators. Maybe it was because they saw that the Jiulan Sect had changed people, or maybe the other party thought that the appearance of such a spiritual monk as Lu Yi surprised them, and the five monks stayed in the air for a moment, and one of the sturdy male cultivators asked, "What's the matter? Do you have no one in the Jiulan Sect? What does it mean to get such a doll?
Lu Yi's momentum suddenly changed, and in a blink of an eye, he became the peak cultivation in the early stage of spirit building, and pretended to be sorry and said: "I'm sorry, I'm used to playing the world on weekdays, and I have been suppressing the aura of cultivation, and I forgot to return to my original state." ”
Lu Yi used the Rejuvenation Technique to raise his cultivation to the stage of spirit building, which is already the limit of his ability to change his breath for a long time, if he changes his cultivation to the middle stage of spirit building, it is not impossible to do it, but it cannot be maintained for a long time, Lu Yi does not know how long the negotiation will take, in order to avoid revealing the stuffing, he still promoted it to the early stage of spirit building for the sake of safety.
But this kind of cultivation is obviously not enough, the other five people are all demon beasts in the late stage of transformation, and their cultivation is equivalent to the late stage of soul building, they naturally don't pay too much attention to Lu Yi, the person who spoke first just let out a contemptuous snort in his nose, and then he no longer looked at Lu Yi, he continued to ask the people of the Jiulan Sect: "What about that long-legged chicken with an unobtrusive mouth, why don't you dare to come?"
This is obviously about Cao Xiangu, Lu Yi heard Venerable Ping Jian say that in the first few negotiations, Cao Xiangu and the other party quarreled almost from beginning to end, the two sides were sarcastic and sarcastic to each other, and neither of them said a good word about the other party. This is also one of the reasons why negotiations between the two sides have repeatedly collapsed, because the two sides are natural enemies.
"Wouldn't it be better if the sect master wasn't there? Let's have a good talk, the first few times, we barely talked about business, just you quarreled. The second senior brother said with a smile.
"Hmph! That long-legged chicken has eaten so many of my children and grandchildren, how can I give up with her?!" A thin man on the edge of the five demon clan monks in the river roared angrily when he heard this, which showed that his resentment against Cao Xiangu was still very deep.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, do we have to show some sincerity today, otherwise if we continue to talk like this, it is estimated that the demon clan will have already been beaten before we talk about it. Venerable Ping Jian seemed to be very tired of Cao Xiangu's grievances with the River Clan, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop the man's words.
"Tell me, how are you going back to discuss, when are you going to incorporate it into our hands?" said a bewilderably dressed woman on the River Clan side in a shrill voice.
Since the two sides are cooperating sincerely, should we first draw out the framework of cooperation for discussion, and I would like to stress once again that we are cooperating, not who wants to annex whom and who wants to override whom. Venerable Ping Jian retorted.
The woman was silent, she glanced at Venerable Ping Jian in disgust, and turned her head to look into the distance.
"Then you should tell me, how do you Jiulan Sect plan to cooperate with us, and what capital do you have to negotiate terms with us?" The other woman was dressed in a decent manner, and her speech was more reliable.
"How to cooperate, a few of you should be impatient, and please listen to our Senior Brother Lu to give you one by one. ”
What Lu Yi didn't expect was that the second senior brother suddenly opened his mouth and pushed himself out, but Lu Yi really didn't have any preparation, seeing that the other five were all focused on themselves, Lu Yi had to talk nonsense with them.
