Chapter 569: Chapter 371: Negotiations Before the Battle, Best of Three! (Part 2)
The core area of a Tier Four Sect is naturally the Tier Four Spirit Meridian, stretching endlessly for thousands of miles, filled with countless Spirit Halls and a hundred Spirit Peaks, truly the gate of the mountain.
This vast expanse of land is completely shrouded by the Sect’s Grand Array.
However, in addition to this, to fully sustain a Tier Four Sect, numerous supporting Spirit Peaks, Spirit Fields, and subordinate forces are indispensable.
Mere thousands of miles cannot ensure peaceful cultivation for a Tier Four Sect.
All kinds of Spirit Ores, Medicinal Gardens, and other facilities cannot possibly be crammed into the mountain gate of the sect, and must be developed externally.
This is a massive asset.
Under normal circumstances, protected by a Tier Three Array, plus top-tier combat power from the Thousand Scripture Pavilion, these assets are never dared to be coveted by anyone.
But in times of life-and-death crisis, when a character of extreme power comes to the door, and the Thousand Scripture Pavilion must shrink its defenses, these assets become helpless.
Hearing this, Master Hong Lie’s face immediately darkened.
How long has it been, how long has the Thousand Scripture Pavilion been this embarrassed, actually being oppressed to their doorstep, unable to fully protect their mountain gate foundation.
Master Hong Lie was shocked and angry inside, but he didn’t dare rashly step out of the Grand Array.
Outside the Grand Array, two late-stage Daoist Embryos, one mid-stage Daoist Embryo, and also a mid-stage Tier Four Demon King whose appearance time is unknown.
This power already far exceeds that of the Thousand Scripture Pavilion.
Most crucially, although the foundation of the Celestial Demon Sect is inferior to his Thousand Scripture Pavilion, it truly has a Tier Four Mountain Protection Array. This sect was annihilated in just one day, who knows whether this Master Yunyang has other means to break his Three Lights Grand Array?
The lessons of the past are vivid; how can he not be vigilant in his heart?
With this thought, he exhaled a long breath, forced a smile, and through Divine Thought, quietly transmitted to Master Yunyang across the Grand Array:
"Fellow Daoist, it was my Thousand Scripture Pavilion’s fault earlier. I am willing to offer several Tier Four spiritual materials as an apology, how about asking Fellow Daoist to retreat?"
"The great foundation of Jiuyi Mountain, everything awaits rebuilding, it would be better for Fellow Daoist not to linger in front of my Yinhuang Mountain."
"Once the Dao Field and other courtyards of Jiuyi Mountain are established, I am willing to present further gifts, the two families working together, sharing this tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, wouldn’t it be wonderful?"
Master Hong Lie’s Divine Thought Transmission clearly shows an unwillingness for the "apology gift-giving" to be known by everyone.
However, Master Yunyang had no such concern and just laughed loudly: "A few mere Tier Four spiritual materials, trying to dismiss us? Do you think we have come here to beg?"
"The Three Lights Grand Array, let me see if it is really as formidable as the rumors!"
"No matter how good the foundation of Jiuyi Mountain is, how can it compare to this Yinhuang Mountain?!"
Master Yunyang laughed heartily, and the purple-armored Daoist soldiers also grinned fiercely, then closed their eyes and began muttering spells.
Although the Purple Armor Daoist Soldier’s voice was very light, given his gigantic size, even gentle whispering sounded like thunder.
Afterwards, the densely flowing Dao Seals on his armor turned into pieces of purple bamboo leaves in an instant, and not only that, the body of the purple-armored Daoist Soldier slowly transformed, eventually becoming a thousand-zhang-tall purple bamboo, standing in front of Yinhuang Mountain.
This Purple Armor Daoist Soldier was originally transformed from Master Yunyang’s Purple Bamboo, now seemingly returning to its original form.
But the place where it rooted made Master Hong Lie’s face immediately change color.
He controlled the Grand Array and could clearly feel that the purple bamboo Daoist Soldier rooted in the ground like a mountain, stable and unyielding. Moreover, its roots seemed crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi from nearby Spirit Meridians, even slightly interfering with the Spiritual Qi of the Three Lights Grand Array.
Though this interference was slight, who knows if it won’t eventually overturn the Grand Array over time?
"Fellow Daoist, what is your intention?!"
Master Hong Lie asked urgently.
"I’m merely planting the Spiritual Bamboo here first, settling in to gradually break the Array!"
Master Yunyang heard this and chuckled softly.
His Purple Sky Daoist Soldier, now transformed into bamboo, can seize Spiritual Qi, it’s extremely aggressive. However, with a mere thought, it could transform back into a Daoist Soldier, possessing late-stage Daoist Embryo power. Now planted at the Thousand Scripture Pavilion’s gate, he wouldn’t believe they wouldn’t submit.
"What exactly is Fellow Daoist seeking, why not speak plainly, surely you don’t truly intend to destroy my Thousand Scripture Pavilion?"
"Such cost, I fear Fellow Daoist cannot afford it!"
Seeing Master Yunyang seem intent on settling at his doorstep, Master Hong Lie was furious, but soon calmed and spoke coldly.
He wasn’t a fool. By now, he had already seen through Master Yunyang’s "intent to force."
"I want these thirty-six Spirit Peaks, twelve Shell Fields, three Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Gardens, one Ten-thousand-year Dragon Ginseng, three million people for the territory of ten thousand miles, three Tier Four Spiritual Treasures, ten copies of the True Scripture of Primordial Images, and also for your Thousand Scripture Pavilion to announce in the East Mountain Realm an apology to my Daoist School."
As the time came, Master Yunyang swung his sleeves, pointed to the place under the Celestial Vault brimming with Spiritual Lights, and laughed.
"Impossible, you’re robbing!"
Master Hong Lie became furious hearing even the first half, roaring in anger immediately.
"Robbing?!"
"Weren’t the previous actions of Fellow Daoist nothing but this?"
Master Yunyang only coldly laughed.
His power was established, today pressing upon Yinhuang Mountain, intending to take a big bite, enjoying the gain!
Robbing?
He was part of the Daoist School under the Celestial Palace, targeting an Evil Sect, how could there be a ’rob’ word?
"Fellow Daoist, stop joking. Your demands, I cannot meet."
"At most, I’ll offer three Spirit Peaks, three million people, and three Tier Four spiritual materials."
There was a moment where Master Hong Lie almost wanted to charge out and battle with Master Yunyang, but in the end, he restrained himself.
Such lion’s demands, the opponent just wants to get a significant cut, or lure him out of the Array.
