Chapter 864 -337: One Deal Made, Longlong Tribe Annihilated (Part 2)
“This seat will only offer so much!”
The Master of Demon Flood was determined with Yi Tian.
“Then there’s nothing to negotiate!”
Yi Tian couldn’t stand such arrogance and directly hung up the portable crystal ball.
The Third Prince of Demon Flood was in his hands; if not, they’d just part ways.
With the Third Prince of Demon Flood’s aptitude, even if it couldn’t sell for one billion Celestial Dao Celestial Dao Gold, selling half was still feasible.
Little did he know, as soon as Yi Tian hung up the portable crystal ball, the Master of Demon Flood called back.
Yi Tian thought the Master of Demon Flood wanted to offer more gold, so he connected with him.
“Lord, if you bring out the Omen Stone, this seat is willing to offer items worth ten billion Celestial Dao Units of Gold!” The Master of Demon Flood said as soon as the connection was made.
“Demon Flood, do you think you’re stupid or I’m stupid?”
Yi Tian sneered.
Ten billion Celestial Dao Units of Gold is an astronomical figure.
But if he traded away the Omen Stone, he wouldn’t live to spend it.
One of the functions of the Omen Stone that Yi Tian knew was to erode the mist of the Lord.
He had so many enemies; without the mist, he would surely meet a tragic end.
His strength had not yet developed.
“Hehe, Lord, this seat knows what you’re concerned about? You Lords have Celestial Dao Contracts. This seat can sign a Celestial Dao Contract with you, guaranteeing that after obtaining the Omen Stone, I will not go against you.” The Master of Demon Flood knew this lord was invincible among those of the same level; if the mist remained, challenging through force was not feasible for the Demon Flood Abyss.
He could only plot this way.
“Trying to play word games with me? If your Demon Flood Abyss doesn’t go against me, the other abysses will certainly retaliate against me. Spare it; as a righteous lord, I have to protect the Omen Stone.” Yi Tian wouldn’t fall for the Master of Demon Flood’s tricks.
If you have the ability, come attack and seize the Omen Stone.
Yi Tian wouldn’t compromise on the Omen Stone in any way.
Yi Tian’s forward development meant he might face any enemies.
With the country’s map in his left hand and the throat’s cut in his right, a fool would not do it.
“Boy, are you sure you want to go against my abyss to the end?” The Master of Demon Flood’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
“Let’s talk about the ransom for Jiao Tianjiao instead.”
No matter how urgent, without breaking into his territory, they could only watch helplessly.
“One billion units of gold.” Though angry, the Master of Demon Flood stuck to this price.
“Then prepare a coffin for Jiao Tianjiao!” Yi Tian decided not to waste time nagging with the Master of Demon Flood.
The abyss not only overlooked life but was also indifferent to familial ties.
“I am very sorry, Your Highness the Third Prince.”
Yi Tian said faintly to the Third Prince of Demon Flood, clutching the portable crystal ball as he left the cell.
The Third Prince of Demon Flood looked desperate.
This sentence from Yi Tian was equivalent to a death sentence for him.
He had long suspected this would be the outcome.
The Master of Demon Flood, so close to becoming a demon, was a mighty being. High and mighty, how could he compromise with the Demon Lord for his sake?
With two consecutive big deals falling through, Yi Tian found it hard to accept.
At this moment, the Fire Dragon brought news to Yi Tian, saying the people behind Young Master Jin were willing to negotiate with Yi Tian.
“Great Wei Emperor, pleasure to meet you!”
Yi Tian greeted the Great Wei Emperor in the crystal ball.
Yi Tian initially thought the Jin Race looked similar, but when he saw the Great Wei Emperor, he realized he was wrong.
The Great Wei Emperor was quite distinguishable among the Jin Race, looking much like Maitreya Buddha.
“Terms! This time it seems our Great Wei Dynasty has suffered. I need to redeem the Young Master, Master Jin Shex, and twenty-four of our clan’s Celestial Prides, as well as other warriors.”
The Great Wei Emperor got straight to the point.
What seemed like a piece of fat meat turned out to be an iron plate.
These losses, in the vast Dynasty, are but a drop in the ocean.
He could only temporarily swallow this frustration and wait for Young Master Jin and Master Jin Shex to return to discuss countermeasures.
“Looking at the Great Wei Emperor’s demeanor, it’s clear you’re a straightforward person. Give me eight billion Celestial Dao Units of Gold, and I’ll release everyone except Master Jin Shex.” Yi Tian set his terms.
Master Jin Shex was an Array Master and valuable to Yi Tian, so releasing him was impossible.
Young Master Jin’s aptitude fell far behind the Third Prince of Demon Flood, not justifying Yi Tian raising the price.
Yi Tian primarily considered the financial strength of the Great Wei Dynasty. If they wished, eight billion gold was insignificant.
“Why not release Master Jin Shex! Also, our small country, outnumbered population, cannot afford that much gold.”
The Great Wei Emperor was well-versed in the art of trading and, of course, would not agree to Yi Tian’s steep demands.
Apart from personal reasons, Master Jin Shex’s importance to the Great Wei Dynasty far eclipsed Young Master Jin.
“Master Jin Shex is arranging the array for me, requiring some time. Once Master Jin Shex completes the array for me, we can discuss Master Jin Shex’s matter again.”
Yi Tian wanted to keep the Great Wei Emperor engaged while leaving some room for negotiation.
If he outright stated he didn’t plan to hand over Master Jin Shex to the Great Wei Dynasty, this deal might fall through too.
“Though the Dagu Realm is small, its name rings like thunder in the Great Wei Dynasty, known across three thousand territories. I wasn’t making outrageous demands; I was quite sincere.”
Yi Tian had heard the phrase ‘small country and sparse population’ many times. Ordinary kingdoms say this phrase, dynasties say this phrase. The Dynasty also says this phrase.
“Eight billion Celestial Dao Units of Gold is too much. The most I can give you is two billion gold. The nation isn’t something I alone can decide. Offering two billion gold is the royal family’s limit.”
The Great Wei Emperor flagrantly lied.
The royal family is wealthy but wouldn’t recklessly ransom a prince.
If they did, the Great Wei Dynasty would cease to exist.
Everything has its value.
Family ties can’t dictate the running of a nation.
Even if it’s Young Master Jin, the Great Wei Dynasty’s Crown Prince can’t expect the Dynasty to spend recklessly.
