Chapter 865: Chapter 0528: It’s Really Nothing_2 Chapter 865: Chapter 0528: It’s Really Nothing_2 If a conflict were to erupt between the two sides and the Eight Pill Alliance decided to use force, Wang Fengna advancing alone to combat the Twenty-four Star Array with just her own strength would have a very slim chance of victory. Wang Fengna was one person, but the Twenty-four Star Array had a full twenty-four Gold Core cultivators. The latter’s ability to recover and endure were not things Wang Fengna could match.
If the Eight Pill Alliance didn’t send just Wang Fengna into battle but mobilized everyone, then the problem would be even greater. Their cultivation levels varied, and their combat power was inconsistent. Once they engaged in battle, who could guarantee that the Twenty-four Star Array would only target the strongest, Wang Fengna, instead of attacking the others? This time, the Eight Pill Alliance had brought three core Gold Cores, and losing any one of them here would be a loss they couldn’t afford. Even if the loss wasn’t a core Gold Core, but a peripheral one like Zhong Weixi, it would still be a significant loss for the Eight Pill Alliance. It wasn’t easy to find a Gold Core powerhouse in Wanjie City who shared the same aspirations as the Eight Pill Alliance. The absence of anyone would be a major loss for them. Moreover, once a conflict broke out, no one could guarantee that the Eight Pill Alliance would lose only one Gold Core cultivator; it could be two, three, or even more.
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the Eight Pill Alliance had set up an array similar to the Twenty-four Star Array like Qi Tian’s group had. Then, combining the power of the Eight Pill Alliance, it was entirely possible to unleash an attack with the combat strength comparable to the Seventh Level of the Gold Core Realm.
However, that was an idea that would end as soon as it began. Such arrays did indeed exist, but the Eight Pill Alliance had no mastery over them. The eight core Gold Cores of the Eight Pill Alliance had started from scratch and lacked deep foundations and accumulation. The major sects and forces within Wanjie City strictly controlled any arrays and other means that could enhance the attack power of high-end Gold Core cultivators, and they would definitely not trade them to an organization like the Eight Pill Alliance.
If the Eight Pill Alliance wanted to obtain similar methods, they could only rely on their own abilities to research or on their luck to collect. Unfortunately, they hadn’t managed to gather any; of course, they did collect some Common Groceries that didn’t produce very obvious effects. If they used these to set up an array, it would only be slightly better than nothing and would not substantially increase their combat power.
Wang Fengna and the other two core Gold Cores began to discuss via Sound Transmission Skill. They hadn’t come here without secret weapons. Should they resort to these means, there was a great possibility that they could break through the Twenty-four Star Array. At that point, they could cut down Qi Tian and his group at will. But the question was, was it worth using the precious secret weapons here?
It wasn’t easy for the Eight Pill Alliance to accumulate a fortune. The secret weapons they had prepared were not only costly but also limited in number. If they used one or two on Qi Tian and his group, what would they do if they encountered a problem inside the Imperial Family Secret Territory that could only be solved with secret weapons? The Eight Pill Alliance had high hopes for the Imperial Family Secret Territory; it would be frustrating to have gone through all the trouble to get there only to leave empty-handed.
After an intense discussion, Wang Fengna, Commander Yang, and another core Gold Core named Wu Shangbin reached a relatively unanimous opinion. The peripheral Gold Core cultivators also largely supported this plan, so once again, Wang Fengna stepped forward to represent the Eight Pill Alliance and negotiate with Lin Zhiyuan.
“Lin Zhiyuan, we can talk. If your demands are not excessive, I can accept them,” Wang Fengna directly transmitted to Lin Zhiyuan.
Lin Zhiyuan did not respond directly to Wang Fengna’s query but instead countered, “Are you seeking my opinion alone, or the opinions of all of us?”
“Of course, it’s your opinion,” Wang Fengna had not forgotten, even at this juncture, to try to divide Lin Zhiyuan from Qi Tian and the others.
Lin Zhiyuan didn’t fall for it this time. He realized that Wang Fengna had changed her stance so quickly solely because they had set up the Twenty-four Star Array, pooling everyone’s power. If he accepted Wang Fengna’s terms, he would step out of the Array, and then the Eight Pill Alliance could divide and conquer them. He wouldn’t end well either.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Zhiyuan spoke out loud, “Zhao Haiying, the vice leader wants to negotiate with me. What conditions should I offer?”
Wang Fengna furrowed her brows, but seeing Lin Zhiyuan had already poked a hole through the window paper, she didn’t bother trying to stop it.
Zhao Haiying had already received instructions and authorization from Qi Tian, and said, “Vice Alliance Leader, there is nothing that cannot be discussed openly. If there is something you want to say, let’s be transparent. Say it out loud for all of us to hear.”
Wang Fengna said, “Fine, tell me, what conditions do you need to give up your confrontational actions against our Eight Pill Alliance?”
Zhao Haiying said, “Vice Alliance Leader, you misunderstand. Our formation is not to oppose the Eight Pill Alliance or to be enemies, but simply for self-preservation. The killing you did earlier scared us, we’re not very brave, and for the sake of survival, we had to unite.”
Wang Fengna snorted coldly and said, “I don’t care whether you’re opposing the Eight Pill Alliance or just trying to protect yourselves, I’m asking you what conditions are necessary for you to give up your opposition.”
Zhao Haiying said, “Our demands are not high, mainly consisting of the following points. First, you, the Eight Pill Alliance, must give us a promise that neither now nor in the future will you trouble us. We have no intention of being enemies with the Eight Pill Alliance, what we aim for is just to stay alive.”
Wang Fengna and the others had also discussed an acceptable range of conditions. Regarding the condition proposed by Zhao Haiying, they could completely accept it. She said, “We can accept this condition, but you also have to promise to keep today’s events to yourselves, at any time, any place, and not to mention today’s events to anyone.”
Wang Fengna didn’t want the reputation of their Eight Pill Alliance to stink up the streets, which is why she proposed such a condition.
“Fine, we can agree to this point. Let me continue with our second demand, which is that we must have the right to enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory, and you cannot block us,” Zhao Haiying continued.
“Agreed, but for us to agree, I also have several conditions that you must accept. Firstly, you must obey our deployment and command, working with us to break through the Defensive Barrier. Secondly, breaking the Defensive Barrier will cost our Eight Pill Alliance a huge price, so you have to provide corresponding compensation. Every Gold Core Realm cultivator who enters the Imperial Family Secret Territory must give us a certain number of Middle-grade spirit stones, specifically one hundred thousand for the First Level of Gold Core Realm, two hundred thousand for the second level, three hundred thousand for the third level, and so on. Moreover, once we enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory, we’re competitors, and among competitors, it’s not about friendship, only power relations. If a fight to the death or something should occur, it’s normal and doesn’t count as violating our oath. If you can agree to these conditions, then all right, I agree to let you have the right to enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory.”
Wang Fengna’s words were quite harsh, and the implication was clear: once Qi Tian and his group chose to enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory, they had to be prepared to be killed by the entire Eight Pill Alliance.
The threat in her words was intense, but whether it was Qi Tian and his group or Lin Zhiyuan and his group, neither took Wang Fengna’s threat to heart. It was simple, they had already offended Refining God Sect, and entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory was already a matter of life and death. One more Eight Pill Alliance didn’t really make a difference.
