Chapter 24: Rogue Negotiation
In the Heavenly Master Cave Mansion, Zhang Nianqiu sat cross-legged, listening to the people around him report back to him on the affairs of the cultivation realm, ten months have passed since the battle to seize the sect, and a lot of things have happened in the past ten months.
The first is that the Zhang family is actually in power and began to secretly suppress the Li family, followed by the demon clan's entrenchment in the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect and its refusal to leave, and then the first assassination sect in the Xiuzhen Realm, the Blood Moon, issued an edict to hunt down Li Yue and others, and the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect negotiated with the Blood Moon Sect many times, but to no avail, so a person surnamed Zhang was sent to track down Li Yue's whereabouts.
Nominally, it was to take the young sect master home, but in fact, it was to cooperate with the pursuit.
In short, Zhang Nianqiu's table did not suppress the Li family, but the dark box continued to suppress, causing the entire Li family to rebound, and the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect experienced several battles large and small, which greatly damaged the vitality of the sect.
The demon clan took advantage of the chaos and occupied half of the mountains and rivers of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, Zhang Yue and Zhang Nianqiu went to the demon clan station many times to persuade them to leave, but the three demon clans prevaricated for various reasons.
It wasn't until Zhang Nianqiu proposed to share the true meaning of the Dao Law and made a lot of compromises that the demon clan withdrew one after another, and the path of withdrawal was through the Shura realm.
This made Zhang Nianqiu vigilant, but the demon clan drama was also done enough, and it was divided into groups of three or five for three months before withdrawing one after another.
The channel of the Six Realms is still not opened, and the masters of each sect in the cultivation realm have returned to their own sects to repair, when they heard that the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect has changed the dynasty, these sect masters are also old and sophisticated, first gathered the sect masters to go to the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, and after some beating, they got substantial benefits from the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect one by one.
And he also got the promise of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect to share the true meaning of the Dao Law, which also made the sects turn a blind eye to the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect's pursuit and killing of Li Yue.
Zhang Yue was furious in the hall of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, after this battle to seize the sect, the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect was alive and was pulled out by all sides, and a large number of cultivation resources were sent out like flowing water.
Zhang Nianqiu didn't think so, in fact, he almost didn't use any cultivation resources, he was cultivating in the dark abyss in his life, where was barren and terrible, where could he find the elixir immortal medicine, and secondly, he himself was a master of the Eight Dao Dao, and his cultivation speed was dozens of times faster than others.
However, just because he doesn't need it doesn't mean that the whole sect doesn't need it, and during this time, the whole sect is tightening their belts to live.
Seeing this, Zhang Nianqiu could only issue an edict again, because the Zhang family has been friendly with the demon clan for generations, so the secret of the true meaning of the Dao law is shared with the demon clan first.
This time, the cultivation realm exploded, and soon, all the sects sent representatives to the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect.
In the hall of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, a white-bearded old Taoist snorted, blowing his white beard, and said sourly, "I only heard that Zhang Tianshi is a master of demon slayer, and I have never heard that he is still friendly with the demon clan for generations!"
"That's right, the secret of the true meaning of the Dao Law should be shared by the cultivation realm first, how can you, the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, tell this secret to other realms?"
"Yes, it's still friendly for generations, why don't you say that it has been the inherent territory of your Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect since ancient times?"
Zhang Nianqiu sat in the first place, squinting at the way everyone jumped in the guest seat, and it was not until everyone was noisy that he raised his hand to quiet everyone.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, the friendship between my Zhang family and the demon clan does not allow anyone or anything to be destroyed. ”
When the white-bearded old man heard this, he immediately jumped up, pointed at Zhang Nianqiu's nose and shouted, "It's still friendship, I think there is only a relationship of interests, I'm afraid you have received the benefits of the demon clan." ”
Zhang Nianqiu snorted coldly and continued, "Yes, it is to receive the benefits of the demon clan, our Zhang family and the demon clan have been friendly for generations, often communicate with each other, and it is common for each other to give gifts, if anyone, any organization, any sect wants to destroy the friendship between the Zhang family and the demon clan, our Zhang family does not hesitate to fight, the Zhang family is now weak, but the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, anyone who intends to dig meat on our Zhang family, our Zhang family will definitely bite their heads and bleed!"
The white-bearded old eyes were round, and his beard exploded even more, he didn't speak for a while, but a scholar-like person next to him said calmly, "What can you decide about a little baby, call your mother out." ”
"I'm sorry, my mother is recuperating from her injuries and it's inconvenient to see guests. Zhang Nianqiu owes himself and said, "The affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect will be handled by me for the time being." ”
"A little baby who has not yet been weaned presides over the sect?haha......" The scholar laughed suddenly, and said coldly, "Is there no one in the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect?"
"That's right, it's just that there is no one, ten months ago in the battle to seize the sect, the vitality of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect was greatly damaged, and then it was successively fallen into the well by everyone who was seated, and the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect is now panicked, and many people have left the sect. Zhang Nianqiu put on a bitter gourd face and said, "Hey, you guys talk about a big sect and let me, a five-year-old child, preside over it, how tiring it is!"
"Okay, it's been ten months, is Zhang Yue still recuperating from his injuries? Even if he has an affair with a wild man and is pregnant, he should give birth!" The scholar was angry, and his words had no regard for anything else.
Zhang Nianqiu raised his eyebrows, his fingers kept tapping on the chair, and finally sighed heavily.
"The sect is weak, the person in charge of my sect has been slandered and fornicated! If you don't retract this, next month you will be ready to receive the edict of the Dragon Tiger Dao Sect and fight for respect!" Zhang Nianqiu pointed to the scholar and asked, "Which sect are you from, Xiaoxiangyuan? Eight Sects? The edict of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect must always be issued in the right place!"
"Huangkou Xiao'er, you dare! Everyone, now that the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect still thinks of itself as the leader of cultivation, it is better for us to go back to the sect and play the sect master and crusade against the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect together. The scholar jumped up from the chair and wanted to unite with other sects to question Zhang Nianqiu, but when he glanced at it, he saw that the representatives of the elders of the other sects looked at other places one by one, and none of them dared to look at him, even the previous white-bearded old man closed his eyes, looking like he was cultivating his body and mind.
Zhang Nianqiu stood up suddenly, the eight Dao Dao tides were fully opened, the vitality of his whole body was exuded, and the magnificent momentum filled the entire room, he looked at the scholar proudly and said, "Okay! My Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect is not afraid of a battle! If you want to fight, I will accompany the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect to the end!"
The scholar sat on his chair with a 'snap', breaking out in a cold sweat, he was not afraid of Zhang Nianqiu's strength, he mainly couldn't bear the battle between the two sects.
This Zhang Nian revenge is very insidious, he has always said how the Zhang family is friendly with the demon clan, and also said that the Zhang family is weak but not worth the battle, as if the Zhang family and the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect are separated, making people mistakenly think that the Zhang family has not fully controlled the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect.
In the past few months, he has also heard about the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect one after another, and he also knows the rebound of the Li family, so he naturally looks at the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect and the Zhang family separately in his heart.
But he didn't expect Zhang Nianqiu to suddenly declare war in the name of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect! At this moment, he realized that the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect was what the Zhang family said.
The scholar didn't dare to say much, and the war between the sects was not something he could afford alone, and Zhang Nianqiu didn't want to do more research when he saw this.
"Everyone, you have an idea, it has been ten months, and if the young sect master is pregnant with a child, he should be about to give birth. Zhang Nianqiu regained his momentum and sat down again, his fingers still tapping on the chair.
Quiet, as soon as he said it, the lobby was silent, this strange atmosphere made people feel a kind of pressure, thinking about Zhang Nianqiu's words, after scrutinizing it, he felt that cold sweat broke out on his back, does Zhang Nianqiu mean to allude to the secret of the true meaning of Taoism?
"What do you mean? Li Yue's child has the secret of the true meaning of the Dao? Why haven't I heard of this?"
"Do you think that our old sect master is idle and bored to let his granddaughter marry a mortal?" Zhang Nianqiu looked at the people in the guest seat like a fool, "Isn't marriage just to have children, is it a family play? Do you really think that one of the young sect masters or one of the young masters Tang has the secret of the true meaning of the Dao? If any of them has the secret of the true meaning of the Dao, the old sect master of my family does not need to let the two of them get married at all. ”
"Even if what you say makes sense, you can't make sure that Li Yue is pregnant, as far as I know, you haven't found Li Yue in the past few months!"
"Hey, it's tiring to talk to you. Zhang Nianqiu squinted his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? If the young sect master is not pregnant, can she return to the sect? With what identity does she come back, can she come back with Qi cultivation? She must have an identity, and she wants to change the battle situation at that time through that identity, but she came back a little later, the battle situation has been decided, and she can't control it, think about it, what is her identity?"
The head of Zhang Nianqiu's analysis is the Tao, but everything is just speculation, everyone also has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, and it is impossible for them to fully believe Zhang Nianqiu's words.
Zhang Nianqiu continued, "But whether you believe my words or not, the secret of the true meaning of the Dao is in the hands of our Dragon Tiger Dao Sect, the sect master is still recuperating in the sect, and the young sect master will come back sooner or later to fulfill his filial piety, and when the time comes, ...... Hey, I didn't want to be the first to share with the demon clan, after all, even if the friendship is there, but we and the demon clan are not of the same clan, but the demon clan promised to increase support for my Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, and my Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect is short of money!"
Zhang Nianqiu's words were intended to make everyone present give up their thoughts of taking the secret of the true meaning of the Dao Law for themselves, even if they found Li Yue's whereabouts, as long as Li Junlin was still held hostage by the Zhang family, they would not be able to hear anything about the true meaning of the Dao Law from Li Yue's mouth.
Second, Zhang Nianqiu also made it clear that it was not the Zhang family who was willing to take the lead in sharing the secret of the true meaning of the Dao with the demon clan, but the demon clan had provided resources.
Since the demon clan can contribute resources to buy the secret of the true meaning of the Dao Law, they can also, after making up their minds, the representatives have no intention of staying in the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, and they are annoyed when they see Zhang Nianqiu now, it is really this guy who has no negotiation skills, and he completely uses hooligan negotiation, and what they eat most now is this rogue negotiation method.
Seeing off the last representative, Zhang Nianqiu let out a heavy sigh, sat on the threshold of the lobby, he looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "Where will the young sect master go?" In the past ten months, she has been forced to have no way out, there are only two places, then I will stay in one place and force her to go to another place!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Nianqiu smiled coldly, stood up, waved his small sleeves, and flew out as a rainbow.
