Chapter 1724: I’ve Got Many Small Secrets

“6 million element crystals?” Zhang Tie shook his head as he watched Yuan Lang, asking, “Do you think my master would make a concession only for a few element crystals? Star Emperor Immortal Palace is sincere; however, I’m afraid that the old man couldn’t be moved by such a poor sincerity.

“Besides element crystals, we could make further negotiation if Your Majesty has other requirements!” Yuan Lang said after taking in a deep breath, “If this event went worse, it would not be good for both immortal palaces. Actually, Star Emperor Immortal Palace lost a lot of immortal generals too. I guess that Your Majesty must be in Heavenly Square City at that time. Your Majesty must be the one who attacked them. Why not stop avenging each other, Your Majesty...”

Wu Qiankun took a look at Yuan Lang out of slight shock as if he had not imagined that Star Emperor Immortal Palace had known it.

“Right, it was me who killed those immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City!” Zhang Tie confessed frankly as he didn’t mean to deny it at all; instead, he answered grimly, “That day, I didn’t know that Star Emperor Immortal Palace had dispatched its immortal generals to Heavenly Square City. I encountered them in a boite of Heavenly Square City. I’ve not imagined that the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace had already colluded with Zi Clan and were scheming to occupy Heavenly Square City. How dared they ignore the existence of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace? What was more, they dared flirt with the female immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. If I kept them alive, it would not be helpful to my ruling. Of course, I killed them all. Not to mention that the old man was also nearby Heavenly Square City during that period. Even if I didn’t launch a strike, those people couldn’t survive either...”

Zhang Tie’s last words fixed the problem of the huge pit outside Heavenly Square City and the chaos that he aroused in Heavenly Square City. He attributed everything to the late Dragon Emperor, by which, he could exert greater stress to the opponents and have everyone feel that the Dragon Emperor who had returned after over 900 years’ disappearance became more powerful and terrifying. Additionally, they believed that the Grand Dragon Emperor must have mastered a horrible, powerful secret method which contained amazing battle skills.

If they fought such great power, they could barely win the battle.

Before Star Emperor Immortal Palace dispatched people here for negotiation, they must have already had people investigate the collapsed mountain peak outside Dragon Emperor City so as to speculate the current battle strength of the Grand Dragon Emperor. Additionally, as long as the representatives of Star Emperor Immortal Palace arrived here, they could easily connect the collapsed mountain peak outside Dragon Emperor City with the catastrophe facing Zi Clan and the huge pit outside Heavenly Square City. Because there were so many similarities between the results of the two strikes, which could never be covered.

Zhang Tie’s casual strike outside Heavenly Square City that day was attributed to the Grand Dragon Emperor which was a pretty delicate solution.

Given Yuan Lang’s eyes, Zhang Tie had known that his scheme had worked. After hearing that the Grand Emperor was also nearby Heavenly Square City in those days, this ambassador of Star Emperor Immortal Palace turned solemn at a stroke as a shrewd light flashed across his eyes.

“Additionally, didn’t Star Emperor Immortal Palace have countermeasures? How could Dragon Emperor Immortal match Star Emperor Immortal Palace in avenging the opponent?” Zhang Tie refuted with a smile, “I wonder whether His Majesty has known that you bribed red and blue devils to have them kill all the people of Dragon Emperor Immortal’s branch in Heavenly Square City in Brokenstars Ocean? But the old man has known it. He was driven mad. Therefore, Star Emperor Immortal Palace owed us two times...”

“Erm...erm...neither Emperor NvWa Palace nor I know that...” Wu Qiankun became embarrassed at once as he threw a glance at Yuan Lang unpleasantly. Star Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t tell him about that at all. Now, this event made this peacemaker very passive in front of Zhang Tie. He knew that Zhang Tie had got a piece of evidence for that. Wu Qiankun answered, “Where are the red and blue devils!”

“Of course, I’ve killed them. If I were not with the airboats that day, I’m afraid that all the tens of thousands of common followers and those immortals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the branch of Heavenly Square City had already been killed...”

“The two human scumbags should have long been killed...” Wu Qiankun said out of fury.

Zhang Tie let out a sigh, saying, “Star Emperor Immortal Palace has gone too far in some aspects. Although Dragon Emperor Immortal has declined, it’s not the others’ turn to bully us by occupying our cities, killing our immortal generals through colluding with human scumbags. Star Emperor Immortal Palace even wants to kill all the followers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in the branch of Heavenly Square City. How could we stand that? It could never be dealt verbally or through paying off some element crystals. If the old man avenges Star Emperor, he’s never seized with a sudden impulse...”

The red and blue devils were notorious in Motian Realm. If this event was unveiled to the public, it would definitely inflict a great loss to Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

“Ahem...ahem... His Majesty doesn’t know that; neither do I. I think it should be arranged by the subordinates. After going back, I would definitely report it to Star Emperor and make a strict investigation into it so as to satisfy Dragon Emperor...” Yuan Lang couldn’t disavow it at this moment; instead, he could only reply in a perfunctory way; meanwhile, he threw a glance at Wu Qiankun for help.

“Your Majesty, you have to persuade the Grand Dragon Emperor to not declare war towards Star Emperor Immortal Palace for the sake of the billions of people in Motian Realm. Otherwise, as long as war broke out between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace, it would be a great misfortune for all the living beings in the world as people’s blood would enable weapons to float...” Wu Qiankun told Zhang Tie sincerely.

After hearing Wu Qiankun’s words, Zhang Tie stood up, hands on his back. He then started to walk slowly in the room with a solemn look. Sometimes, his face looked gloomy; sometimes, it turned sunny as he took a look at the two people as if he was thinking about something or making a difficult decision.

Wu Qiankun and Yuan Lang remained silent as they fixated onto Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie walked slowly for 3 minutes in front of them as he stopped with a resolute expression. Closely after that, he turned around and watched the two people, saying, “General Manager Wu is right. If a war breaks out between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace, a lot of immortal generals on both parties would lose their lives, not to mention the result of the combat between two emperor-level powers. Additionally, this might provide a chance for demons to raid us. If you want to resolve the conflict between two immortal palaces or persuade the old man to not avenge Star Emperor Immortal Palace, you have to meet a condition...”

Wu Qiankun and Yuan Lang let out a sigh at the same time. After exchanging a glance with each other, Yuan Lang said, “Go ahead, Your Majesty!”

Zhang Tie then took out an element crystal and put it on the teapoy in front of them, saying “I want to buy something from Star Emperor Immortal Palace using this element crystal. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace agrees with me, all the conflicts between us will be canceled off. I believe I could persuade the old man to not find Star Emperor Immortal Palace’s trouble. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace doesn’t agree, you two could go back. As for what happens in the future, it depends on God’s will!”

“Your Majesty, what do you want to buy from Star Emperor Immortal Palace using this element crystal?” Yuan Lang asked as he turned extremely solemn.

At the same time, Yuan Lang had got some different answers——to buy all the cities of Star Emperor Immortal Palace in Nine Heavens Big Domain, to buy the heads of some immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace or to buy a public apology from Star Emperor...

It was negotiable for the first answer. However, Yuan Lang would never agree with the rest two answers. If Star Emperor Immortal Palace gifted the heads of its own immortal generals to Dragon Emperor, how would Star Emperor Immortal Palace keep its fame in the world? It was also not acceptable for Star Emperor to apologize to Dragon Emperor in the public, no matter what powerful cultivation method has Dragon Emperor mastered over the past 900-odd years. As the latter two choices would ruin the fame of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, they had been denied by Yuan Lang inside in advance.

However, Zhang Tie’s answer was completely out of the expectation of Wu Qiankun and Yuan Lang.

“It’s very simple. I want to buy 10 living demon water generals and 5 living demon wind generals...” Zhang Tie said calmly.

“What? Your Majesty wants Star Emperor Immortal Palace to exchange demon generals with...” Yuan Lang thought he misheard it. Did Zhang Tie want to buy a pile of demon generals? It’s more like having Star Emperor Immortal Palace catch living demon generals for him for free. What a weird and unimaginable condition!

“Right, I want demon generals. 10 living demon water generals and 5 living demon wind generals, each of which should be above 5 change realm...”

“You only want demon general?” Wu Qiankun asked out of curiosity.

“Yeah, only demons. As long as they’re alive, I don’t care whether they’re disabled or idiots...”

“Your Majesty...what do you want these demon generals for?” Yuan Lang asked with a frown.

“It’s none of your business. Just answer me whether you will agree with me or not...”

“Erm...erm, please wait for a second, I need to consider it for a short while, Your Majesty...”

“Help yourself!”

Zhang Tie then sat on his chair as he took his teacup and had a sip leisurely.

Actually, Yuan Lang was going to negotiate about it with the top powers of Star Emperor Immortal Palace. Yuan Lang must carry a jade plate which he could use to contact the powers in Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

Zhang Tie knew that his condition was completely out of the expectation of Star Emperor Immortal Palace, which couldn’t be made easily.

However, it was easier than facing the revenge from the late Dragon Emperor that Zhang Tie had shaped successfully.

To fight an immortal emperor or to catch some demon water generals and wind generals alive? The two choices were absolutely not on the same level in difficulty.

Additionally, although Zhang Tie required 10 demon generals, only 5 of them were heavenly knights. It should be accepted by Star Emperor Immortal Palace. If Zhang Tie wanted 10 or 20 demon heavenly knights, it would be much more difficult for Star Emperor Immortal Palace to do that. After all, even though Star Emperor Immortal Palace had more than one power above heavenly knight, it was not that easy for them to catch some demon heavenly knights alive.

The key was that this trade term or solution could keep the fame of Star Emperor and its powers.

Additionally, as human immortal palaces were opposite to demon palaces, it was not sharply distinctive for them to kill demon generals or catch demon generals alive, despite being different in difficulty.

As was predicted by Zhang Tie, in less than half a minute, Yuan Lang had taken a look at him before taking the element crystal in front of them and telling Zhang Tie in a muffled voice, “Star Emperor Immortal Palace agrees with this trade. Hopefully, Your Majesty could keep your promise...”

“From now on, as long as Star Emperor Immortal Palace doesn’t find us trouble, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would not find Star Emperor Immortal Palace any trouble. Tit for tat is fair play...” Zhang Tie said solemnly.

“That’s great. That’s great...” Wu Qianku let out a sigh as his round face revealed a smile.

“Hopefully, Star Emperor Immortal Palace could complete its trade within 2 years. If it is overdue, this trade would be invalid...” Zhang Tie added.

“2 years, no problem!” Yuan Lang took a look at Zhang Tie as he asked, “Your Majesty, do you want us to send these demon generals at once or in batches...”

“In batches is acceptable!”

“Well, Emperor NvWa Palace will be responsible for sending these demon generals to Your Majesty!”

“Hmm, okay!”

“We got to go then...” The envoy of Star Emperor Immortal stood up, followed by Wu Qiankun...

...

As there was no Purgatory Samsara Method in Motian Realm, how could Emperor NvWa Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace know what those demon generals mean for Zhang Tie?

Sometimes, many things that looked hard or impossible to gain could be gained pretty easily.

After the representatives of Emperor NvWa Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace left, Zhang Tie sat in Yunshui Palace alone calmly as he started to drink his tea leisurely. Not until 10 minutes later when the tea water in his cup was finished did Zhang Tie reveal a smile. Finally, his smile turned into laughter and guffaw...

...

“I’ve got a horn on my head.

I’ve got a tail on my back.

Nobody knows

how many small secrets do I have?

I’m a small cyan dragon.

I’ve got many small secrets.

I’m a small cyan dragon, a small cyan dragon, a small cyan dragon...

However many small secrets, small secrets, small secrets do I have?

I’ve got many secrets.

I won’t tell you.

I won’t tell you.

I won’t tell you...”

Hearing the strange song faintly, those guards outside Yunshui Palace exchanged a glance with each other as their faces turned weird.

‘Is Dragon Emperor...okay?’
