Chapter 99
The Nether God Palace's activities in the East Continent in the past few months were really strange. Not only was the Celestial Court curious, but the Underworld Tower was also very interested.
To them, capturing Cao Xuanbin was secondary. The most important thing was to understand the Nether God Palace's intentions.
Because of this, they didn't make a move when they sneaked into Seven Kill City.
If the commotion outside the city hadn't alarmed them, they wouldn't have acted so quickly.
The leader of the Nether God Palace's assassins was aware of the Yellow Spring Tower's intentions.
"This person was designated by the higher-ups. I don't know the specifics. But the higher-ups have instructed that if this person falls into the hands of the Celestial Court or your Yellow Spring Tower, we cannot easily use force. We can have a good talk. "
"How? If you don't answer my questions, what else is there to talk about? "
The Netherworld Manor's Soul-Summoning Envoy said this, but he was very restrained.
Both sides had similar numbers and strength. If they were to fight, he had no confidence in winning.
"My Nether God Palace is willing to exchange a bottle of Netherwater for Cao Xuanbin."
The moment he said that, the Netherworld Manor's Soul-Summoning Envoys were in an uproar.
It seemed that the value of the Ming Water was extraordinary.
"Is that true?"
The expression of the leading Spirit Summoning Envoy changed several times. His eyes hidden under the ghost mask shone with excitement.
"It's absolutely true. As long as you hand over the person, we promise to give it to you."
"Of course, we are just ordinary Netherworld Soldiers. Something as precious as the Netherworld Water is naturally not with us. It is jointly guarded by the Netherworld Generals."
"If you accept the conditions, we can inform the higher-ups immediately. At that time, we will hand over the goods."
The assassin from the Nether God Palace added.
"Hmph, I'll let you guys go inform them. Once the Underworld Generals arrive, we'll probably die without a place to be buried."
The people from Yellow Spring Tower shook their heads. "Moreover, we don't have the final say in this matter. To tell you the truth, we are planning to send this kid to a Soul Devourer Envoy."
"Then let the lords from both sides discuss and make a decision! With the hostages in our hands, you don't have to worry about us doing anything to harm you. "
The person from the Nether God Palace suggested.
The people from Netherworld Tower lowered their heads and whispered to each other before quickly replying. "Alright, let's contact them."
Thus, the two sides were in a deadlock. A few of the leaders used methods such as the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman to contact their respective superiors.
After a while.
"The Soul Eater Envoy said that if the Nether God Palace is really willing to use the Dark Water in exchange, we can give up on this Cao Xuanbin."
The person from Netherworld Tower said. When the fat youth on the shoulder heard this, his eyes widened and his face was filled with reluctance.
But he just couldn't move. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak.
"Lord Netherworld General has also responded. As the lord in charge of the Netherworld Water's safekeeping is quite far away, he will probably only arrive here tomorrow morning. Only then can we proceed with the transaction."
The man from the Nether God Palace said hesitantly.
"Humph, don't tell me he's plotting something?"
The people from Netherworld Tower were immediately displeased.
"We are sincere in our dealings. Please believe me, we wish for Cao Xuanbin to live even more than you do. If we play any tricks and you kill the hostages, we'll be held responsible. "
The people from the Netherworld God Palace immediately explained, but the people from the Netherworld Pavilion didn't seem to believe them.
Seeing this, the leader of the Netherworld God Palace sighed and said, "Truth be told, this lad is a high-ranking member of our Netherworld God Palace.
"To tell the truth, this brat is a member of the upper echelon of our Underworld God Palace, an Underworld God Guard with the nickname of the bamboo hat man. He has repeatedly said that he must be captured alive, not dead, so we really don't dare to play any tricks."
When they said this, the people from Netherworld Tower somewhat believed them. They avoided them and started to discuss privately.
"Lord Soul Eater Envoy said that he can only arrive here late at night. Why don't we agree and wait for him to arrive before making a decision?"
"That Lord Soul Eater Envoy knows the Soul Searching Secret Technique. At that time, no matter what the Netherworld God Palace wants to do, Lord Soul Searching Cao Xuanbin and obtaining his memories will naturally reveal the truth."
This proposal was approved by everyone, and they all nodded.
Both sides had similar strength. If they didn't agree to this condition, they would have to fight to the death. At that time, they would probably lose half of their people.
None of them was willing to lose their lives for Cao Xuanbin, who had no value.
"What if the Netherworld God Palace is just stalling and wants to launch a sneak attack while we're not on guard?" one of them asked cautiously.
"If that's the case, you have to keep an eye on Cao Xuanbin. He's our protective talisman. For the Netherworld Water, this little risk is worth taking. Lord Soul Eater Envoy said that if this transaction can be completed smoothly, all of us will have made a great contribution. "
Thinking of the generous rewards, the group of Soul Summoning Envoys were secretly excited. Their leader stepped forward and accepted the Netherworld God Palace's condition.
"Since that's the case, we'll set up camp here and wait for the night. When the higher-ups of both sides come, they will personally negotiate."
"For the sake of caution, please retreat five miles away."
The people from the Netherworld God Palace didn't have any objections. It was just five miles away. The people from Netherworld Tower couldn't run.
Thus, both sides moved five miles away from each other and got along peacefully, preparing to wait for the night.
Two miles away, Gu Chen, who had used his Divine Sense to spy on both sides' negotiation, couldn't help but frown.
"I thought that both sides would definitely fight. At that time, I could take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. At the very least, I could kill a few fellows from the Netherworld God Palace.
"I didn't think that the Netherworld God Palace would offer conditions to bribe Netherworld Tower. What kind of treasure is the Netherworld Water? Is it really that valuable?"
Gu Chen's expression was gloomy. According to the development of the situation, the Netherworld God Palace would be able to snatch Cao Xuanbin as they wished!
As for him, all his efforts would be in vain!
"I must disrupt their negotiation, no matter what!"
Gu Chen gritted his teeth. The Netherworld Sparrow robe that was as black as the night stimulated his nerves.
However, both sides had more people than him. How could he disrupt the negotiation? If he made a mistake, he might lose his life.
It was too late to go back to the Celestial Court and ask for reinforcements. He could only rely on himself!
Gu Chen's expression flickered, and he pondered for a long time.
When the sky was about to darken, he saw wild geese flying south in the distance. One of the wild geese separated from the flock, looking very uncoordinated. An idea flashed through his mind.
"Got it, let's do it!"
The corners of his mouth curled up, and a ruthless light flashed through his eyes.
The blood moon was like a hook, and the night was as cold as water.
Twenty Spirit Summoning Envoys from Netherworld Tower were stationed on a hill. A bonfire was lit, and they chatted cheerfully with each other.
As long as the Spirit Devourer Envoys arrived late at night, they would be able to smoothly hand over Cao Family's Little Fatty, and they would receive generous rewards.
This reward was so great that the rewards of ten ordinary missions couldn't even compare.
The people from the Netherworld God Palace were five miles away. They looked at the peaceful night, which was very comforting.
Swoosh!
Astral winds blew, and suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound.
A Spirit Summoning Envoy was silently meditating when a blue arrow suddenly shot toward him. It was as fast as lightning, and its murderous intent was revealed!
"Pfft."
Before he could react, his head was pierced through, and he was nailed to the ground by the arrow. Blood spurted wildly!
