She Li looked at Fang Yun angrily and said, "Even though I am the Holy Son of the Snake Clan, I can only get one Dragon Snake Grass every three years, and now there are only two! This thing is essential for the poisonous magic of my snake clan. It can only be grown in the residence of the Snake Saint. It matures once every ten years. More than half of the harvest every year is exchanged for things needed by the snake clan. It is very precious! You must have been plotting against me a long time ago."

Fang Yun said sincerely: "When the demon king first came, he made such a big noise that I was terrified. How could he dare to plot against you?"

She Li's gaze softened slightly. It was indeed comfortable to be flattered by a human genius.

Fang Yun continued: "However, after discovering that you couldn't even answer three questions, of course I had to take advantage of your Dragon Snake Grass."

She Li's eyes were full of ferocity, and he said, "Don't let me meet you at Liangjie Mountain! If I don't kill you, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Well, when I become a university scholar, I will have the chance to exchange ideas with you. Thank you for your dragon snake grass. Seven leaves of dragon snake grass can help me avoid poisoning seven times at least." Fang Yun said.

The snake's head was covered with scales, and its expression could not be seen, but its eyes flickered with regret.

Green-clothed Dragon Marquis couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fang Yun, next time you encounter She Li, divide a leaf of Dragon Snake Grass into five parts and hold one part in your mouth for an hour. This will ensure that his poison magic will have no effect on you. Of course, if you encounter a great demon king, you still have to be careful."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "The Snake Demon King traveled hundreds of millions of miles across the two worlds to give me the Dragon Snake Grass. His love is sincere and deep. I will definitely use this Dragon Snake Grass on my blade."

She Li's eyes were filled with rage, but he suddenly closed his eyes, his body rose and fell slightly, and then became calmer and calmer.

Seeing that She Li had noticed that he was irritating it, Fang Yun stopped talking nonsense.

Dong Wencong looked in the direction of the Holy Court and said, "Lord Long Hou, the people from the Holy Court have not arrived yet. Please wait for a moment."

“No problem, I can just stay a little longer. The Dragon Palace is too boring, it doesn’t have as much fun as the human beings. It’s a pity that I was having so much fun a few days ago, but was called back by Grandpa Dragon Saint. If this gamble wasn’t so important, Grandpa Dragon Saint wouldn’t have let me come.” The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis smiled and sat on the first seat, with the human race and the Snake Demon King on either side of him.

Soon, three white clouds flew in from the sky and slowly descended.

Everyone stood up. There came three university scholars, from the East Saint Pavilion, the Criminal Hall and the War Hall respectively.

Fang Yun recognized one of the scholars, Yan Daxueshi, who had accepted his Yinjiangbei and sent it to Dongsheng Pavilion for safekeeping.

Feng Zimo, Lu Hongyi and Qingyi Longhou all knew Academician Yan. After chatting for a while, they sat down.

Fang Yun looked at the human people and the Green-Clothed Dragon Marquis. They all gestured for him to speak, so he nodded politely.

"Snake Demon King, I have two bets. One is to bet my life with the Demon Emperor, and the other is to bet the ancient galaxy with the demon saints. Please confirm it." Fang Yun said.

The Serpent Demon King said, "You wrote thirteen 'legendary' war poems in three years. That's right, isn't it?"

"And my life." Fang Yun's eyes were extremely firm.

The Snake Demon King spat out his tongue and said, "Very good. The only thing that can guarantee the validity of the bet is the great oath between the two worlds. Once both parties violate it, they will lose the protection of the power of the two worlds. Do you understand?"

"Of course I know that once I break the contract, you saints can easily kill me together. The saints of the human race did not participate in the bet. Their power cannot protect me. Once you break the contract, you will be rejected by the power of the demon world, and your strength will not only not increase, but will gradually weaken."

"That's good. We can now swear a great oath between the two worlds." She Li said.

"Wait." Fang Yun put his hands on the negotiating table and straightened his body.

"Why, do you want to go back on your word?" She Li asked.

"Of course not. Before the bet is officially made, I need to put forward a small condition, otherwise this bet will be just a piece of paper." Fang Yun said.

"What conditions?" She Li stared at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Cancel the hunting of me on the hunting list."

She Li was not surprised at all. Instead, he showed a disdainful smile and said, "You really have revealed your true colors! The saints guessed correctly. Your three-year bet was a countermeasure."

Everyone in the Academy of Literature suddenly understood Fang Yun’s purpose.

"So what? I just ask you, are you going to retreat or not? You have already made a bet, but you sent people to kill me at the same time, which proves that you monsters are all cowardly bandits." Fang Yun said.

"The hunting list of the human race was jointly formulated by the demon and barbarian saints. It is absolutely impossible to change it arbitrarily! If you are removed, the hunting list will no longer be fair, which will be extremely disadvantageous to both our demon and barbarian races!" She Li's answer was firm.

Fang Yun immediately stood up and said, "Then we have nothing to say. This behavior is like putting a knife to my neck and gambling with you at the gambling table. I'm sorry, I won't play with you!"

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned and left.

The rest of the people stood up immediately, whether they were officials from Yuhai City or university scholars from the Holy Academy, without the slightest hesitation, they followed Fang Yun firmly.

"Alas, the talks broke down." The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis slowly stood up, but did not leave. Instead, he stood there and smiled.

The snake coiled in front of the negotiation table, slowly spitting out its tongue, making a hissing sound, and looking at Fang Yun's back.

Seeing Fang Yun about to step out of the gate of the Academy of Literature, She Li said, "Why don't we both take a step back?"

Fang Yun stopped and looked outside the Academy without looking back, saying, "Remove the Hundred Bloods bounty and bonus, and I will stay on the hunting list."

She Li said unhappily: "Those special rewards can be removed, but the Hundred Bloods bounty must not be removed."

"Oh? So from now on my bounty can only be holy blood?"

"Can."

As soon as She Li finished speaking, Fang Yun immediately turned around and returned to the negotiation table with a smile.

"Continuing again?" Qingyi Longhou smiled and sat down.

The literati were not surprised at all and continued to pay attention to the negotiations.

The big stone in Fang Yun's heart fell completely. If the monsters and rebellious people took action, the Holy Academy could basically prevent it. If the monsters encouraged potential rebellious scholars to kill him, then he could only stay in the Holy Academy until he became a university scholar to be safe.

"Then let's start the great oath between the two worlds?" She Li asked.

"Where is the Taikoo Galaxy?" Fang Yun asked.

"It seems that you have only heard of the Ancient Galaxy, but don't know its true appearance. Humph! Even if the Ancient Galaxy is sealed by the power of the Semi-Saint, you will die if you touch it, but I dare not touch it! Don't worry, once the Great Oath of the Two Worlds is established, the Great Demon King of Moyao Mountain will bring the Ancient Galaxy to the lower world and hand it over to your human Confucian scholars, and then send it to the Holy Academy for storage. If you win, the Ancient Galaxy will belong to you. If you lose, the Holy Academy will not be able to suppress the power of the Great Oath of the Two Worlds, and the Ancient Galaxy will naturally return."

Fang Yun nodded, and couldn't help but think of the content of the ancient demon inheritance. She Li was right. The ancient galaxy was indeed very powerful. If it had not been sealed by the demon saint, the great scholar could only hold it for a quarter of an hour, and it would inevitably be swallowed by the ancient galaxy after a quarter of an hour.

Thinking of the role of the Ancient Galaxy, Fang Yun's heart was burning with excitement. No matter whether it was the Comet Corridor or some secret technique of the demon clan, they were far inferior to the Ancient Galaxy. The reason why the Demon Half-Saint was so powerful and the Demon King would definitely be canonized as a saint was because of this thing.

This ancient galaxy is equally useful to the human race, but the price paid is too high and the gains are full of uncertainty, so the saints do not demand too much.

But Fang Yun has the inheritance of an ancient demon.

A trace of curiosity flashed across the handsome face of the Green-clothed Dragon Marquis, and he said, "Fang Yun, She Li, what exactly is the Ancient Galaxy? I've also heard my father talk about the Ancient Galaxy, and I wanted to ask him, but he didn't tell me, so I went to find Grandpa Long Sheng, but he started nagging about the teachings of the ancestors and the master, and then blew me away in one breath, saying that a little thing like me shouldn't ask nonsense, which made me so angry that my liver hurt."

Many people laughed, wondering who knew where this Green-Clothed Dragon Marquis learned these words from.

She Li said, "Lord Long Hou, this item is too mysterious. It is said to involve the great secrets of the myriad worlds and races in the ancient times. Of course, there are too many such legends. I guess your Dragon Palace has many such great secrets, but what are their uses and how great are their uses? At least you have to become a great demon king or a great scholar to be barely qualified to explore them."

"Oh, if that's the case, then I understand. I've been studying the relics of the Ancestral Dragon recently, and every time Grandpa Longsheng finds something, he blows me away." The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis said helplessly.

Everyone present, whether human or demon, looked at the Green-Clothed Dragon Marquis with great envy, because that was the relic of the Ancestral Dragon. In the legends passed down by the dragon clan, the Ancestral Dragon was an invincible existence, and all the saints in the world were no match for him.

Fang Yun also knew that in China, the Ancestral Dragon generally refers to Qin Shihuang, but in the Shengyuan Continent, the Ancestral Dragon refers to the ancestor of all dragons.

Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, and even if Zulong disappeared long before the demons took over the demon world, his power is unquestionable, because even Confucius said when he was the second sage that he was far inferior to Zulong.

Fang Yun half-jokingly said, "Young Marquis, you'd better stop showing off. Look at them, their eyes are red."

The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis fanned himself and said with a smile, "How can this be called showing off? This is called sharing!"

"If we work hard to get what you said, then you are sharing; if we work hard but cannot get it, then you are showing off. Do we have a chance to study the relics of Zulong?" Fang Yun said with a smile.

The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis was stunned, touched the dragon horn on his forehead, and said, "You are really interesting to talk about. Others may not be able to do it, but you have a chance. Do you want to be the consort of our East China Sea Dragon Palace? Our Dragon Palace does not have the broken rules of the royal families of the ten countries. You can continue to be an official after becoming a consort. Didn't you eat a lot of dragon balls? Keep eating, and when you become the consort of the dragon clan, these will be transformed into great benefits! But be careful, it doesn't matter if you eat dead real dragon balls, but if you dare to kill our living real dragons, it will be a fight to the death!"

"I already have a wife, so I can't be the dragon clan's prince consort." Fang Yun said.

"It is a bit troublesome, but you know so many secrets of the universe. Grandpa Longsheng might be willing to meet you. He has gone crazy studying the relics of the Ancestral Dragon." said the Green-clothed Dragon Marquis.

"I will definitely go to pay a visit to His Majesty the Dragon Saint if I have the chance." Fang Yun said.

"Alright, start the great oath between the two worlds. I'll stay away." After saying this, the Green-Cloaked Dragon Marquis left his chair and stepped back a dozen steps.

The people on both sides of Fang Yun also stood up and retreated.

There were only one man and one snake left at the negotiation table.

She Li spat out his tongue and said, "Fang Yun, you are using the bet to delay the saints, but it is in vain. Once our great saint returns, the human race will have no hope. Before I came, the saints told me that as long as you are willing to surrender, we will conquer the human race and make you the emperor of mankind, and you will rule the human race."

"Human Emperor? Not bad, but it's not what I want." (To be continued...)
