Chapter 1275: Chapter 487: Height Competition_3

Owen Bertram unconsciously said, "The National Master is too confident; what makes you think you’ll certainly win? I might be the winner."

He just laughed faintly. Sun Daren cursed silently, knowing that her laugh was a provocation, but he still couldn’t help agreeing, "Fine, a word is a word!"

However, the National Master glared at him and said, "As a high-ranking official of Bevis Country, you shouldn’t be using such a lowly tactic to gain an advantage over a little girl. It doesn’t suit your status!

Please repeat my words just now without exploiting any loopholes in my language. Be magnanimous."

Sun Daren’s face turned red, thinking this old woman is so cunning! He indeed had that in mind, since the National Master had just made a promise, and he could choose whether or not to accept her request, but he hadn’t said so! He had really planned that if he won, he would propose a request that the National Master would never accept, but he didn’t specify that the National Master could choose whether to comply. His request would be compulsory!

Unexpectedly, the National Master saw through him, and he was embarrassed and angry: "How can the National Master look down on me without reason?"

The National Master glanced at him again: "Heh."

Helpless, Sun Daren repeated the National Master’s words from before. Then, with a guilt-ridden look, he glared at her fiercely, "Is that good enough?"

The National Master smiled like a blooming peony, a national beauty, and said, "It’s good. You may leave, if my predictions are correct, the Ancient Annihilation Domain of the True Dragon Water Palace will open within three days at most, giving you only three days to decide on your selection."

After she finished, the National Master bowed slightly on the Black Tortoise’s back, and the Black Tortoise stared ferociously at Little Loach before carrying her into the rolling sea waves.

Sun Daren also left, calculating in his mind how to choose his people. He didn’t bring anyone from his Horizon Bureau to East Sea this time, but he could still call people now. However, if he forcefully excluded the current Cultivators of Wood gathered near East Sea and allowed only people from the Horizon Bureau to enter, those Cultivators would surely find a way to sabotage his arrangements.

The moment the National Master and Sun Daren made the bet, only people selected by the two of them could enter the Ancient Extinction Domain; no one else would think of it.

The National Master had absolute authority on Sangdao Island; whoever she allowed would enter, and those not given permission would wait obediently outside, even if they were very dissatisfied. However, Sun Daren didn’t have such prestige in Wood Dynasty. This was not due to Sun Daren’s lack of ability, but rather the advantage accumulated by the National Master’s six hundred years of support on Sangdao Island.

"Although six people have to be chosen, the actual test is the command ability of the National Master and me. We cannot enter the Ancient Extinction Domain and can only observe it through the eyes of these six people. When encountering danger, it also needs to be resolved through their abilities."

"Hmm... I can grant powerful Magic Treasures, but the Fifth Great Domain can only exert the power of Tier-6 magical treasures at most. Even if they were given Tier-7, they wouldn’t be able to use them."

"Although the people of my Horizon Bureau are obedient, those with real ability, like David, have already advanced to the Sixth Great Realm. If I were to choose from the Fifth Great Realm, I may not necessarily win over these cultivators."

"And most importantly, the cultivators gathered here are all from the area around the East Sea. They naturally excel in water-related Divine Skills and Magic Treasures, making them more suitable for entering the True Dragon Water Palace."

"However, they need to be trained to be obedient." This is not a problem; Sun Daren has many methods to make these rogue cultivators submit.

With his mind made up, Sun Daren returned to the Spirit Leaf Immortal Boat, and he called the Three Elders over, saying, "I personally negotiated with the Sangdao National Teacher, and she has agreed not to enter the Ancient Extinction Domain of the Divine Water Dragon Palace in person. We and Sangdao will each select six people from the Fifth Great Realm to compete within the Ancient Extinction Domain!"

Upon hearing this, the Three Elders were moved and bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir, for your hard work!"

The Sangdao National Teacher was a veteran of the Seventh Level, having stepped into the Seventh Level earlier than Master Lane. In the eyes of the Three Elders, having persuaded the National Teacher to make such a commitment was greatly beneficial to the cultivators of the Wood Dynasty.

It is important to know that this was the East Sea, where the Sangdao Monks were like fish in water in combat. If the National Master were to personally enter the Ancient Extinction Domain, overlapping her mini-world with it - Sun Daren might not be affected, but other Cultivators of Wood might return empty-handed.

They were obviously mistaken, but whether it was Sun Daren’s persuasive techniques that deliberately caused this "misunderstanding" was unimportant. Sun Daren needed the Three Elders to spread the word that he had obtained advantageous conditions for everyone. By granting this "favor" first, the selection process would be smoother. This was also one of the techniques used by those in power.

Of course, Sun Daren was willing to accept the bet for his own reasons; even if he entered the Ancient Extinction Domain himself and fought against the National Master, it might not have much significance. First, the other side did not have a strong intention towards this battle between the two Seventh Realm cultivators. Secondly, if they actually fought, it would more likely damage the Ancient Extinction Domain, and many treasures inside would be destroyed for nothing, making it a loss.

Lastly, if the National Master was unwilling to fight, that meant she had other considerations. Sun Daren initially wanted a head-on confrontation, defeating the National Master and then advancing his plan against Sangdao. If the National Master had other considerations, he would have to make corresponding adjustments to his plan against Sangdao.

At least for now, Sun Daren believed that the National Master was sending some sort of "goodwill".

"How are the preparations for the alliance formed by the three seniors?"

The Elder of Skill Transmission stepped forward and replied, "We have almost contacted the 1,800 cultivators currently gathered near the East Sea. Among them, there are four top sects and families, as well as three rather powerful groups. Everyone is happy to form a Wood Dynasty Cultivators Alliance under your leadership, sir, and fight against Sangdao."

Sun Daren frowned secretly; adding the Holy Water Palace would make eight major forces, and he would have to choose six people from them...it would be somewhat tricky.

"Three seniors, please discuss this matter with everyone and quickly recommend some candidates. We need to choose six of them to participate in the competition for the Divine Water Dragon Palace." Sun Daren promised, "I will personally guide these six people."
