The corpses of the dragon clan, and they are also powerful at the heaven level. If they are simply dismantled and "retailed", although they can also bring huge profits, they will not be able to exert their true value.
Although the corpses of the dragons only possess the physical strength of the dragons during their lifetime, Ye Zan even asked for the dragon beads. In other words, if you combine dragon balls and dragon bones, it is very possible to create a true heaven-level puppet.
In fact, when Ye Zan was cleaning up Tongtian Peak, he had obtained the body of Supreme Tongtian. However, after repeated consideration, he still returned the corpse to the Star Sect. After all, if the Tongtian Supreme was really made into a puppet, not only would the Star Sect be extremely dissatisfied, but it would also damage the reputation of the Yuqing Sect.
With the development momentum of Yuqing Sect, there is really no need to make oneself infamous for the sake of a heaven-level combat power. Moreover, the supreme power of human cultivators lies in their mastery of the great road. Even if you have your own avenue, you still need to have the corresponding understanding to truly use its power.
However, this dragon skeleton is different. It came from the Dragon Clan "uprightly", and the Dragon Clan will definitely not be able to accuse this in the future. As for the human race, there is no moral blame at all for using the corpses of foreign races to make things, even if they are from the same highly intelligent race.
Regardless of whether they are dragons, monsters, or spirits, even if they have the same intelligence as humans, they will still not be treated as equals by humans. This is actually not surprising. The human race has always liked to say, "Those who are not from our race must have different minds." And this is indeed true. If it were a "non-human" intelligent race such as dragons, they would not treat other races equally.
This is nothing to condemn, it is a selfish nature that allows the species to continue.
Faced with the conditions proposed by Ye Zan, no matter whether Ao Yu felt comfortable or not, he could only nod in agreement and agreed to pay four dragon bones as compensation to the Yuqing Sect.
"The ransom and compensation can be decided like this, right? Then, fellow Taoist, if you have any other names next, please tell me once." Although Ao Yu agreed to Ye Zan's request, but in his heart It must still be very unpleasant, so he couldn't help but have a bit of ridicule in his tone.
However, Ye Zan didn't care about this with the other party. Anyway, he had almost got the benefits, why couldn't he let others vent their emotions a little? He shook his head with a smile, and the expression on his face was so sincere, and said: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ao, the four dragon skeletons are enough to compensate our sect for the loss, so I will not have any other demands. Next we can talk about the issue of swearing.”
Despite being cut several times by Ye Zan, Ao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could finally talk about the last question. The original unhappiness in his heart was thrown away to the Kingdom of Java in an instant when everything was about to settle. He quickly said: "Okay, on behalf of the Dragon Clan, I can swear to heaven and earth here that I will never interact with you again." Yu Qingzong is the enemy!”
Of course, Ao Yu's words were not a formal oath, but just expressed his own attitude towards the oath, or it was a rough draft.
You know, when you swear an oath to heaven and earth, although you don't have to write a contract with thousands of clauses, you still have to pay attention to the oath. The will of heaven and earth is not artificial intelligence. It will not supervise overly detailed terms and can only restrict it in a general direction. This leads to the fact that if the oath cannot be too detailed and comprehensive, it will be easy for people to take advantage of it.
As for the oath, Ye Zan had naturally prepared it long ago. He passed it to Ao Yu's Qianli Chuan Shen and said, "Fellow Daoist Ao, you can take a look at this. This is an oath drafted by our sect. If you agree, you should swear by it."
Ye Zan would not let the Dragon Clan, who was not an enemy of the Yuqing Sect, just deal with this matter. Let’s not talk about whether Ao Yu can represent the Dragon Clan. Even if he can really represent the Dragon Clan, won’t the Dragon Clan let others come to trouble the Yuqing Sect
After all, the Dragon Clan still has a very high prestige in this mortal world, and there are also people or forces who want to cling to the Dragon Clan. Therefore, maybe after the Dragon Clan makes an oath, as long as they casually reveal some meaning in this regard, there will be a lot of people, demons, demons, etc., who will vent their bad breath on the Dragon Clan's behalf.
Ao Yu didn't expect that Ye Zan had already prepared the oath. He lowered his head and clicked on his Qianli Zhuanshen, and then opened the text file sent by the other party. Just at this glance, the expression on his face changed again. He suddenly looked up at Ye Zan and said, "Fellow Taoist, is this oath a little too much?"
It turns out that the oath given by Ye Zan did not just require the Dragon Clan to no longer be enemies with the Yuqing Sect, but it certainly did not require an alliance with the other party. The general meaning of that oath is that if the Yuqing Sect encounters any trouble, regardless of whether the troublemaker is the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan will bear responsibility for it.
That's right, according to this oath, not only the Dragon Clan cannot be the enemy of the Yuqing Sect, but even the Dragon Clan's relatives and friends cannot be the enemy of the Yuqing Sect. However, is it possible that the only people or forces in the world who would cause trouble for the Yuqing Sect are the people or forces of the Dragon Clan? If the person causing trouble for the Yuqing Sect has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan at all, why should the Dragon Clan bear responsibility!
"Is it too much? Fellow Daoist Ao, don't just look at it one way. This oath may actually be a good thing for the Dragon Clan." Ye Zan didn't look ashamed at all, but explained to Ao Yu with a sincere face.
"Good thing? Then I want to hear what the good thing is about the so-called good thing!" Ao Yu was almost happy. He said before that he had never seen such a shameless person, but now it seems that he is still He really didn’t wrong the other party at all.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, please think about it, why did you pay such a big price this time and bring the dragon beads and dragon bones? Isn't it just to make friends with my sect? If someone else comes to our sect to cause trouble, , all these things were snatched away in a blink of an eye, have you lost a lot?" Ye Zan gave the other party such an explanation without blushing, and then said without waiting for the other party to refute: "Moreover, the Dragon Clan is this. If you mess up the thing for the first time, the higher-ups will definitely be unhappy. If someone else comes here and it succeeds, won't it look like the Dragon Clan is quite useless? "
Ye Zan's explanation is somewhat bandit logic, or simply bandit logic. Anyway, he wants to tie the dragon clan to his own ship. Moreover, unlike other allies of the Yuqing Sect, the Yuqing Sect does not have to bear the obligations of allies to the Dragon Clan. To put it bluntly, when someone hits me, you have to stand on my side, but when someone hits you, you don’t want me to stand on your side.
Who said the Dragon Clan was the defeated party
If the Dragon Clan was treated the same as other allies on the Yuqing Sect ship, wouldn't it be unfair to other allies
Of course, this is not an ally relationship, which means that in terms of interests, neither party is qualified to share the other's cake. Whatever benefits the Yuqing Sect gets, it is impossible for the Dragon Clan to get a share, and conversely, it is impossible for the Yuqing Sect to get benefits that belong to the Dragon Clan from the Dragon Clan.
"You... this is simply..." After hearing Ye Zan's explanation, Ao Yu was really angry and speechless.
"Fellow Daoist Ao, don't be so excited. I know that this oath is very considerate to the dragon clan. Who told me that the human clan is a clan of etiquette!" Ye Zan seemed to have no understanding of Ao Yu's psychological activities, thinking of himself. It is covered with gold.
Ye Zan's "shameless" behavior was ultimately forced by reality. After all, the enemies of the Yuqing Sect were well-established, and they were beings who could control the Dragon Clan. Although, this "envoy" may not be exactly like using a slave. Most of the time, the Dragon Clan is just going along with the flow, just to sell the other party a good deal. However, after all, the other party is an immortal in the Immortal Court, and has conveniences that the Yuqing Sect cannot match in many aspects.
Forcibly tying the dragons onto the ship actually gave the enemies in the Immortal Court an extra layer of scruples when they were plotting some intrigues. You must know that due to the plan of the outer world, the Dragon Clan is still quite valuable in the eyes of Xianting. Those immortals who are really at the top may acquiesce to the people below to cause trouble for the Yuqing Sect, but they will not allow anyone to drag down the plans of the outer world.
Therefore, when the immortals in the Immortal Courtyard discover that making trouble for the Yuqing Sect is tantamount to making trouble for the Dragon Clan, they may not be able to do whatever they want.
"Forget it!" Ao Yu sighed. He didn't expect that in a short period of time, he would sigh so many times and say these two words helplessly so many times. However, it is really helpless. Everything has been negotiated. At this time, it is obviously not worth overturning everything because of a vow.
Of course, you still have to struggle a little bit. If you can lower the price, you still have to try.
So, after sighing, Ao Yu no longer felt angry as before, but said to Ye Zan with a probing attitude: "However, the oath of fellow Taoist to always use our clan as a shield is a bit too much, isn't it? "
There is no time limit in the oath given by Ye Zan. If the text is kept intact, the Dragon Clan will really become the shield of Yuqing Sect forever. No one is willing to do anything forever, be troubled forever, and never be freed.
This time, Ye Zan did not act rogue again, but nodded in agreement and said: "What Taoist Fellow Ao said is indeed a problem, but I didn't think it through. In fact, I didn't mean, How about the Dragon Clan, if all the Dragon Clan Taoist friends who come here can make this oath on their own, wouldn’t it be more acceptable than ‘forever’?”
Eternal is a word that describes eternity, but it has become the most unreliable word in people's practical applications. No one can truly promise "forever". Things like loving you forever and being free forever are actually all nonsense. When people say "forever", it is more because they are not sure, not sure how long they can love you, not sure how long they can be free.
Moreover, when swearing an oath to heaven and earth, this "forever" cannot truly become an effective condition that binds the swearer. From the most extreme perspective, even this heaven and earth are not truly eternal, so what can be used to constrain "eternity". To be more realistic, the world is changing, which does not mean that it will invalidate the oath, but it will definitely have some impact, especially under uncertain conditions.
Of course Ye Zan knew this, and the reason why he decided on "forever" from the very beginning was just a strategy to ask for a high price. Moreover, he does not think that as the Yuqing Sect develops and as he improves, the Dragon Clan will always be needed to ensure the safety of the Yuqing Sect.
Now, Ao Yu raised objections to this time limit, and Ye Zan also seemed to be very generous, changing the condition to be limited to the existence of powerful dragon clan officials. In other words, as long as Ao Yu and his group of dragon masters are alive, they will have to work as free bodyguards for the Yuqing Sect, but their death will be considered a settlement.
This is actually quite shameless. After all, the lifespans of the powerful dragon clan are still very long, which is enough to buy enough development time for the Yuqing Sect. If any of these powerful dragons can attain the immortal position and reach the level of living as long as heaven and earth, this "eternal" may really become eternity.
Another point is that changing the object of the oath from the dragon clan to these individuals in the dragon clan will also strengthen the binding force of the will of heaven and earth. After all, if you swear by the Dragon Clan, you are actually using the Dragon Clan's luck as a pledge. The fate of a clan is closely related to the will of heaven and earth, but the will of heaven and earth also has "selfishness".
It is said that "heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs", but the will of heaven and earth is not exactly that "heaven and earth". The will must have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When this will is found to damage the fate of the family and have a bad impact on oneself, it is difficult to say that such an oath will be strictly enforced. Even if the will of heaven and earth really fulfills its oath, it will have to make up for it elsewhere, such as making the other party pay a price, or eliminating the threat in advance.
Ye Zan couldn't be sure about the "idea" of the will of heaven and earth, and he didn't know what changes there would be in the future. And Ao Yu, although he also knew about this problem in the oath, he also did not dare to take risks with the luck of the dragon clan.
Therefore, although Ye Zan's revised conditions are still very harsh in Ao Yu's view, it is still a barely acceptable result.
"Yeah... Okay, then according to what fellow Taoist said, we swear to heaven and earth with ourselves, and we hope that fellow Taoist can fulfill what we promised before." After thinking for a moment, Ao Yu finally agreed to Ye Zan's offer. condition. Apart from the pressing situation, he was not too worried about offending someone in the Immortal Court.
