The Xiyue City Lord's Mansion was very large. Yan Xiong and the others walked for a long time before arriving at a meeting room.
Before Yan Xiong entered the conference room, he first signaled Bu Jingyun and the other two to wait outside, and then followed the middle-aged scholar into the conference room.
"Yanxiong, what do you want to do?"
As soon as Yan Xiong came in, Cheng Yan asked with a gloomy face.
The swordsman who had greeted Yan Xiong and others and the monk he had met before stood behind him motionless, like two door gods.
Beneath him was a golden chair made of pure gold.
The chair has clear patterns and is carved with mythical beasts, making it look very majestic and domineering.
"I heard that the Water Banner of the Heavenly Demon Sect is divided into two demon candidates?"
There are five elements in the Heavenly Demon Sect, but there are eight demons in charge.
Except for the two most powerful and prestigious people who are in charge of a flag alone, the other demon candidates are in charge of a flag together with two others.
Among them is Cheng Yan.
Although he is also a fourth-grade demon, he is weaker than other demon candidates. Even if he has a brother, the Demon Lord, behind him, he cannot be allowed to command a flag alone.
The other demon candidate who shared power with him was called Han Sihai, also known as Han Old Demon.
The two have always been at odds over who should be in charge of the Water Flag, and often try to trip each other up.
"So what? You want to interfere in the affairs of my Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Cheng Yan nodded slightly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Yan Xiong's attempt to interfere in the affairs of their Tianmo Sect.
"I can't say I'm interfering, so how about we make a deal? I'll help you get the upper hand in the fight with Han the Old Demon, and you'll restrain your Heavenly Demon followers and tell them not to attack my Tianxiahui caravan?"
Yan Xiong sat down on the chair at the bottom and spoke.
"Haha! I was wondering why the leader of Yanda Gang came to my Tianmo Sect, it turns out it's for this!
It seems that you, who have Beihan Pass in your hands, want to do something big!"
When Cheng Yan heard Yan Xiong's words, she suddenly laughed.
"But why should I promise you
You are not a polite guest at all. As soon as you entered my city, you injured many of my followers. Now you actually want to make a deal with me. Do you really think that I, Cheng Yan, am a soft persimmon?"
As he laughed, he suddenly stood up and spoke in a cold tone.
Yan Xiong did not even raise his eyes to his actions and said:
“I’m not really good at negotiating.
To be honest, I think I have given you, Master Cheng, enough.
Old Demon Han is an old demon with many years of experience. He has many experts under his command. Without my help, you may not be able to defeat him.
I heard that the Demon Emperor of your Tianmo Sect has disappeared for many years, and now you are planning to elect a new Demon Emperor.
I think you also want to help your big brother, Lord Bloodthirsty Demon!
If you take down the entire Water Flag, you should know how many gang leaders you can bring to your big brother.
And then, if you don’t agree, then my Tianxiahui will have no choice but to raise an army to eliminate the demons!
Although my Tianxiahui cannot deal with your entire Tianmo Sect, but I can deal with you alone, hehe..."
The first part of Yan Xiong's words was still analyzing Cheng Yan's situation, but suddenly the tone changed and he directly threatened Cheng Yan.
Although what Yan Xiong said was indeed true, who could tolerate such a threat without regard for others
So, as soon as Yan Xiong finished speaking, Cheng Yan stood up with a gloomy face.
"Are you threatening me? Very well, since you are so confident, I will prevent you from leaving Xiyue City today.
Kill him! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk and swordsman standing behind him suddenly jumped out.
The powerful sword intent and a Zen stick as strong as a mountain attacked Yan Xiong at the same time.
Yan Xiong stood up slowly, and the San Fen Gui Yuan Qi began to circulate, and the oppressive true energy began to appear.
“Stop, stop!”
Just as the battle was about to begin, the middle-aged scholar called Mr. Wei by the swordsman suddenly shouted loudly.
At the same time, Mr. Wei actually stood directly in front of Yan Xiong, the swordsman and the monk.
Zheng...
Bang…
The long sword and the Zen staff suddenly stopped, and the two men looked at Mr. Wei in front of them with frowns.
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean?"
Cheng Yan looked at Mr. Wei with an unpleasant expression.
Yan Xiong also looked at him with a little surprise.
This Mr. Wei seemed to be helping him.
"Boss Yan, please calm down and let me discuss this with my clan leader."
Mr. Wei clasped his fists towards Yan Xiong, then signaled the swordsman and the monk not to fight. He then walked up to Cheng Yan, who had a grim look on his face, and whispered:
“Master, I know you can’t stand threats, but what Yan Xiong said is actually true.
You should know that the Demon Lord has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the Demon Lord of Life and Death.
At this time, we must not provoke the Tianxiahui again.
Isn't the reason we retreated here because the Demon Lord doesn't want you to waste your strength on the Eighteen Cities of Qilian
Although the Tianxiahui is slightly inferior to the Eighteen Cities of Qilian, it is not to be trifled with.
Do you think you are confident that you can keep Yan Xiong
Although I am not proficient in martial arts, I know that if a fourth-rank warrior wants to escape, there is basically no one who can stop him without two people of the same level to stop him.
If Yan Xiong escapes, he will go back and lead his men to attack.
By then we won’t be able to support the Demon Lord.
If the Demon Lord is defeated by the Demon Lord of Life and Death, we will be trapped here again.
Where will the Demon Lord start his great cause then
Since all Yan Xiong wants is a trade route that won't be robbed, we should just give it to him.
As long as you agree to this deal, you may be able to ask Yan Xiong to help you get rid of the old demon Han in the north.
Having said this, please think twice before you act.
If the leader still wants to take action, I will not stop him, but the consequences..."
I don’t know what means Mr. Wei used. He clearly didn’t use any sound transmission, but Yan Xiong couldn’t hear what he was saying to Cheng Yan at all.
I could only vaguely hear two words from the Demon Lord.
After Mr. Wei talked to Cheng Yan for a while, he stepped aside.
Although Cheng Yan's face still looked a little ugly, she still spoke to Yan Xiong:
"I agree to the deal you mentioned. I guarantee that no one will dare to touch the caravans of your Tianxia Association passing through this area.
But what you said... "
Before Cheng Yan finished speaking, Yan Xiong interrupted him, "Master Cheng, please rest assured. I, Yan Xiong, keep my word. I heard that Han Qifeng, the son of Han Lao Mo, is in the north. I will set off for Shenshui Palace in a few days.
When the time comes, I will take it down for you, and you can go collect the water flags afterwards."
"I hope you keep your word, otherwise, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."
Cheng Yan said gloomily.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Go away! I don't want to see you again!"
Yan Xiong smiled, said nothing more, and turned away.
Outside the conference room, Bu Jingyun and others were confronting a large number of people from the Demonic Cult.
Apparently the noise they made in the hall just now was heard outside, so several people wanted to go in, but were stopped again.
Afterwards, perhaps because he heard the noise disappear, and he didn't believe that Yan Xiong would be killed instantly, he guessed that they might still be talking, so he didn't go in, but continued to confront these members of the Demon Sect outside.
"Let's go! This matter is over!"
