The old patriarch suddenly realized one thing, that is, he was really wrong, and his mistake was very outrageous.

The temptation of the demon spirit to the Spirit Void Clan is simply irresistible. If Lin Xiu proposed to unite against the Demon Clan, he would do his best to make a good impression on the other party, and even be more direct and bold, and put the entire Spirit Void Clan in the hands of the other party, just like the Demon God Clan.

In that case, thinking that Lin Xiu would become the patriarch of the Lingxu Clan, he would definitely not be too stingy with his own people.

And now, the Lingxu clan still has to contribute to the other party, but because of the relationship between the two sides, it has been imprinted with the brand of transaction, and there are more businessmen and scheming.

Every year, since the other party of the five demon spirits dares to say such a thing, it means one thing, and the demon spirits he can get are far more than five demons. Although the old patriarch still didn't know how Lin Xiu was going to obtain the demon spirit, for some reason, he couldn't help but choose to believe in the other party.

Thinking of this, the old patriarch's expression became more and more bitter. If the other party really became the patriarch of the Lingxu Clan, I think the benefits of the Lingxu Clan would be far more than that.

He was thinking about whether there was any way to salvage the situation, but suddenly someone in the audience said coldly

"The five demon spirits want us to work for you for a year, what are you? Are you a beggar on the side of the road?"

The old patriarch secretly said "Oops", and was about to scold the other party, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiu let out a burst of sneers before him, and the extremely strong ridicule in that voice made him suddenly change color.

Lin Xiu raised his head suddenly, staring at the person who exited with some condescendingness, and asked word by word, "Then what do you think you are?"

The other party's momentum was weak, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Lin Xiu laughed again, and said, "The Lingxu Holy Clan who is high up, makes people bow down and worship, and talks about the color change? Or is it a group of peerless powerhouses who are fascinated, can point out the country and the mountains while talking and laughing, and passionately write?"

"Hmph, to put it mildly, with the strength you have shown so far, you can't even match my 30,000 troops. If I had known that the Spirit Void Clan had already fallen like this, I wouldn't have bothered to break the seal at all. ”

At that moment, Lin Xiu seemed to have completely incarnated into a philistine businessman, and the businessman's bitterness and meanness were actually fully interpreted by him. Even Chongyun and the Third Elder on the side were stunned, they couldn't believe that the young man in front of them was really the gentle and elegant Lin Xiu in their eyes, who would not be easily angry at any time, let alone aggressive.

"You, what are you talking about, you dare to underestimate our Lingxu Clan and compare us to an army of 30,000?"

Lin Xiu's words seemed to arouse the anger of the crowd, and anger appeared in the eyes of everyone in the hall, eager to devour him alive. Seeing this scene, the old patriarch who was about to speak closed his eyes with some pain, and a long sigh echoed in the hall.

Heaven is evil, it is still life, but it is self-inflicted, and it is not alive

He had already expected from the prophecy left by his ancestors that Lin Xiu was the hope of the Lingxu Clan, and he was indeed ready to support Lin Xiu to become the Lord of the Lingxu Clan, but it was only because he heard that the other party was ready to unite the Demon God Clan and the Human Race, the two races that had brought harm to the Lingxu Clan, to fight against the so-called Demon Clan, and he was indignant for a while, which caused a lifetime of regret.

Today's situation is already difficult to recover, and it is difficult to break through the situation

Lin Xiu rolled his eyelids, glanced at the person who spoke, and said coldly, "Compare?" Oh, you reminded me, I really shouldn't compare you to my 30,000 army, because you don't deserve it at all." ”

The man's face froze, and the next moment his face turned red, and he took a step forward, looking ready to fight desperately, and shouted angrily, "What do you say, you say it again." ”

Lin Xiu said indifferently, "Any commander of my 30,000 troops is also a cultivator at the peak of the Rain-Covered Realm. Even if it is an ordinary soldier, there is no one lower than the Returning Star Realm. Why, do you think you can stand up to such an army?"

Hearing this, the man's face suddenly froze, and the faces of the rest of the people in the audience also became a little ugly. If what Lin Xiu said was true, such an army was really not something they could fight against now.

In fact, Lin Xiu's sentence is very artistic

The black-armored iron cavalry was originally the elite of the army, but even if it was that elite, there were only two or three people at the peak of the Rain-Covered Realm. He said that any commander is the pinnacle of the Rain-Covered Realm, and this sentence is not wrong, but what the Lingxu people don't know is that unlike the commanders in other armies who often have dozens or hundreds of commanders, there are only three commanders in the Black Armored Iron Cavalry.

And he said that there is no lower than the Returning Star Realm, although this sentence is also true, but because of the previous sentence, the Lingxu people have a preconceived impression, making the other party think that the vast majority of ordinary soldiers are in the Cloud Turning Realm between the Returning Star and the Covered Rain, and only a few are Returning to the Star Realm

Although there were only some deviations in their understanding, in this way, the combat power of the entire army in their impression was very different from the black-armored iron cavalry that actually returned to the Star Realm, more than 90% of them.

Lin Xiu understood why their faces were shocked, but he didn't say anything, because his words were misleading.

It is both a transaction and a negotiation, and it is necessary to have bargaining chips to negotiate the desired result. In terms of true cultivation, the three of them were obviously unable to fight against the powerhouses of the Spirit Void Clan here. In this case, there is only exaggeration, using small and large, and dotting the surface, so as to create a strong deterrent to the other party from the heart.

The highest level of falsehood is three points of truth and seven points of falsehood. Coupled with the fact that the Lingxu Clan had been sealed for thousands of years at this time, and he knew nothing about the outside world, this gave Lin Xiu the opportunity to be honest and talkative.

Lin Xiu would not have behaved like this, but with the gradual increase of life experience, he found that only by constantly changing himself can he make himself more suitable for today's world.

But fortunately, no matter how he changed himself, he did not touch the purest essence in his heart, which was his persistence, something that would never change

The temple was silent again for a long time, and the old patriarch sighed lightly and muttered, "Since there is such a powerful force behind you, then with the current situation of my Spirit Void Clan, it seems that it will not help you at all. ”

Lin Xiu groaned slightly, his face softened slightly, and he said softly, "I can't say that. After all, what is really powerful in the Spirit Void Clan is the ability to devour demons and gather spirits. I know that as long as you can obtain powerful demon spirits, your cultivation will be able to make breakthroughs on the original basis in a short period of time. ”

"For example, the old patriarch and others who have reached the Supreme Realm, it may be a little difficult to storm the Heaven Listening Realm, but those who are already at the peak of the Rain-Covered Realm still have a great chance to impact the Supreme. ”

"Frankly speaking, the most is better for anyone, isn't it?"

Lin Xiu drew a large cake again, making the eyes of these people in the hall who had been hungry for a long time shine.

The old patriarch's eyes also flashed, but he didn't forget the most important thing, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then asked, "Five demon spirits a year, for today's Spirit Void Clan, it is indeed a bit stretched, I don't know if it can be improved slightly?"

After saying this, he quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not insatiable, I'm just thinking that if I can increase the number of people promoted, it will help you even more, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiu fell into deep thought, and the occasional flash of struggle and pain between his eyebrows seemed to show everyone that the acquisition of the demon spirit was not as simple as everyone thought in their hearts.

The old patriarch stared at the other party intently, his face was full of nervousness, he didn't ask Lin Xiu how to obtain the demon spirit, he only talked about the quantity, and he already believed that the other party had that ability. However, it was this kind of trust that made the disgust in Lin Xiu's heart a little weaker.

Perhaps, this is something that the old patriarch did not expect at all.

After a while, Lin Xiu took a deep breath, then looked up at the old patriarch, and then gritted his teeth with a painful face and said, "Five a year, no more." ”

Hearing this, not only the old patriarch was stunned, but other people in the hall, including Chongyun and the three elders, were also stunned at the same time

You didn't add any more to it, who did you show the pain on your face?

However, just as everyone looked at each other and looked strange, Lin Xiu continued, "But to show my sincerity, I can give you five demon spirits for free as a deposit. At the end of the year, as long as we cooperate happily, I will still pay the other five demons as promised. ”

"And as long as the cooperation between us can be sincere and trustworthy, then I promise to give an additional five demon spirits as a reward every year. ”

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Chongyun and the three elders glanced at each other, and they both saw a faint smile in each other's eyes. They were obviously a little surprised that Lin Xiu was so slippery, this way of increasing the chips not only firmly held the initiative in their own hands, but also played a role in motivating them in disguise.

Do you want more demons? Yes, then you have to work hard for me.

However, until now, the three elders were still a little strange about how Lin Xiu was able to obtain the demon spirit. After all, a demon spirit represents the life of a demon god clan

The old patriarch pondered for a long time, secretly exchanged opinions with the extremely elders in the hall with his eyes, suddenly took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, we agreed to this deal."

At the mention of the word transaction, his expression looked a little painful, after all, the relationship between them and Lin Xiu should not be like this.

But it has come to this point, it is useless to say more, I just hope that in the future, there will be a chance to slowly redeem all this.

Lin Xiu nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief with some relief.

However, at this moment, the three elders standing beside him said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, please ask the old patriarch to lead the clan and make an oath in front of the statue of the god in the sacred square."

The old patriarch's face froze, and his eyes looked at the three elders with a slightly gloomy look
