"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
"you… "
"The envoy from the Qianfeng Empire has arrived." Just when everyone was furious, a familiar voice was heard from the entrance of the council hall. It was the cultivator who had led Ao Yue and others into the council hall before, announcing the arrival of the envoy from the Qianfeng Empire.
Um
Ao Yue couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had deliberately calculated the time to come here in order to be the first to reach an agreement with the Phoenix Clan and to make the envoy of the Qianfeng Empire make a wasted trip.
What Ao Yue didn't expect was that the envoy of Qianfeng Empire actually arrived a little earlier. He didn't know that the envoy of Qianfeng Empire had been traveling at full speed, and there was no obstacle after entering the Feng Clan, so he arrived a little earlier.
Feng Hao at the head of the group stared at him and said directly, "Please invite the envoy of Qianfeng Empire in."
Only with the arrival of the envoy from the Qianfeng Empire could the Phoenix clan, as originally planned, offer a high enough price for Ao Yue to agree. Otherwise, if it was just a negotiation between the two clans, Ao Yue would definitely not be willing to pay such a high price.
As Feng Hao finished speaking, a group of practitioners, led by the Wind Clan member, came to the meeting hall. Leading them was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
“It’s actually him!”
Looking at the leading man, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. He was not unfamiliar with the leading man. He was one of the high-level martial emperors who had followed Orlos from the Imperial Star to the front line. His name was Lei Ke.
Lei Ke looked at Feng Hao who was sitting at the top, and bowed slightly, saying, "I am the envoy of the Qianfeng Empire, Lei Ke, and I greet Patriarch Feng Hao!"
"General Lei Ke, there's no need to be so polite." Feng Hao said with a smile.
They greeted each other at the same time. Feng Hao's attitude towards Lei Ke in front of him was obviously much better, which was undoubtedly in sharp contrast to when Ao Yue came to the meeting hall before.
Although the relationship between the Phoenix Clan and the Qianfeng Empire was not necessarily very good, at least this time the people from the Qianfeng Empire came here openly and honestly. They did not force the Phoenix Clan into the water and plot against them like Ao Yue and others did.
After Lei Ke and his group sat down, Feng Hao looked at Lei Ke and said, "General Lei Ke, I wonder why you came to my Feng clan on behalf of the Qianfeng Empire this time?"
"To be honest, I was ordered to come to the Phoenix Clan this time, hoping to discuss cooperation with the Phoenix Clan." Lei Ke said.
Are they really discussing about joining forces
Hearing Lei Ke's words, the faces of everyone present changed slightly. Although everyone had expected this, Lei Ke and others knew very well that it was almost impossible for the Phoenix Clan to join forces with them. Even when the overall situation had already been decided, they still came to the Phoenix Clan to discuss joining forces with them. This was really beyond their expectations.
Everyone looked at Lei Ke who had spoken, and thought to themselves, "No wonder technological civilization has been able to develop. This kind of mentality alone is unmatched by many practitioners of the same realm."
If it were an ordinary practitioner, knowing that there was no chance, they would probably give up directly. But Lei Ke and the others came even though they knew there was no chance, and tried their best. This kind of persistence and courage is not something that everyone has.
Before Feng Hao at the head of the group spoke, Ao Yue, who was sitting opposite Lei Ke and his group, said directly, "General Lei Ke, don't bother with your tricks. Chief Feng Hao has already agreed to join forces with our Dragon Clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Phoenix Clan suddenly darkened. Although the Phoenix Clan had no other choice, they had not yet formally agreed to cooperate with the Dragon Clan. Besides, who to cooperate with was their own business. How could an outsider like Ao Yue have the right to express their opinions on their behalf
Is it too late
Upon hearing this, Lei Ke's expression changed slightly. They were in a hurry to come to the Phoenix Clan's territory because they were worried that the Phoenix Clan would reach an agreement with the Dragon Clan first, and by then everything would be too late. They didn't expect that they would be one step too late in the end.
Yang Qi looked in the direction of Ao Yue and the others, and chuckled, "Senior Ao Yue, I don't remember when Chief Feng Hao promised you to join forces with your Dragon Clan?"
Um
Hearing this, Lei Ke's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Yang Qi with gratitude. If the Dragon and Phoenix tribes really reached an agreement to join forces, he would naturally be powerless to change anything. But as long as the two tribes had not reached an agreement to join forces, he was sure to get the Phoenix tribe to stand on their side!
Ao Yue glanced in the direction of Yang Qi, then looked at Feng Hao and said, "Patriarch Feng Hao, the three of us have gathered together to discuss a major matter involving our three forces. Yang Qi is just a four-star Martial Emperor, so I'm afraid he is not qualified to speak, right?"
"Since Yang Qi is able to attend this meeting, he can naturally speak." Feng Hao paused here before continuing, "Besides, Yang Qi said that our Phoenix clan has not yet agreed to join forces with your Dragon clan!"
Hearing this, Ao Yue's face darkened, but he didn't say much. He had some idea of the Phoenix Clan's intention to let the Qianfeng Empire participate in this meeting. It was nothing more than wanting to get more benefits. In the end, they could only join forces with the Dragon Clan!
"Since the Phoenix clan has not yet joined forces with the Dragon clan, then our Qianfeng Empire still has a chance. Why don't the Phoenix clan leader listen to our conditions first?" Lei Ke said, looking at Feng Hao who was standing above him.
Hearing Lei Ke's words, Feng Hao sighed in his heart, and then said, "General Lei Ke, our Phoenix clan will not join forces with outsiders to deal with the tribes of the monster clan. Moreover, I believe you are very clear about the current situation. It is even more impossible for our Phoenix clan to join forces with you."
As soon as Feng Hao finished speaking, Ao Yue immediately looked at Lei Ke with a smile and said, "General Lei Ke, did you hear clearly?"
"Although we will not join forces with the Qianfeng Empire, if you want us to join forces with your dragon clan, you, the dragon clan, must show some sincerity!" Feng Hao said with a cold smile.
"Of course, no problem." Ao Yue nodded, then looked at Feng Hao and said, "We can give 50% of the benefits promised by the nine major cultivation forces to the Phoenix Clan."
"Fifty percent?" Feng Hao sneered and looked at Ao Yue and said, "We, the Phoenix clan, want the benefits that the nine major cultivation forces promised to give us when they first discussed joining forces."
What
Hearing this, Ao Yue's expression changed. Looking at Feng Hao who was sitting at the top, he said with an unpleasant expression, "Isn't the appetite of the Phoenix Clan a little too big?"
You have to know that the Dragon Clan joined forces with the nine major cultivation forces, but they took the initiative to lower some conditions, which means that the benefits obtained by the Dragon Clan are actually lower than the benefits obtained when the nine major cultivation forces and the two clans discussed the cooperation. Now the Phoenix Clan wants the conditions at the time of the initial negotiation, which means that the Dragon Clan will not only have to give up all the benefits obtained from the nine major cultivation forces, but also pay some back!
