As a rational politician, maximizing profits in different situations is the ultimate goal. Since the other party is willing to share benefits, the Fifth Prince is satisfied. After all, since the Treasure Basin is in the hands of Aegean Saint Xiao, Prince Tang Zang understands the wisdom of bowing his head under the roof.
Regarding credibility, the Fifth Prince absolutely believes that what this Aegean Saint Xiao says is as good as done. Updates are released by novel•fire.net
"Have your fourth brother come over to help too? Killing these Netherworld demons shouldn’t violate monastic rules, right?" Liu Zhenhuan made the decision on the spot: "Don’t worry! I won’t let my brothers suffer losses. This time, I’m prepared to first send you five hundred Osteo Wands and five hundred Shield Gems. Everyone can use these treasures, and your Silk Continent doesn’t produce them!"
"Fourth brother is in seclusion translating scriptures, so it’s unlikely he’ll come to help. The Golden Guards also need to keep a part to guard the homeland. How about this: this time, I’ll bring five Dinghu Immortal Masters to help! But what about those Mirror Cannons? Just the Osteo Wands and Shield Gems? I want Mirror Cannons!" The Fifth Prince was also forthright: "This time, I’m definitely bringing the ’Five Elements Defense Array’ and ’Ten Thousand Miles of Flying Cloud’ with me. No matter what, you can’t shortchange me, right?"
"The Treasure Basin can only create things three times a day at a galloping pace. I’m busy preparing for war myself, so how can I find the time to make extra Mirror Cannons for you? Once all this is over, anything’s up for discussion!" Liu Zhenhuan was extremely frustrated: "Our two continents don’t lean on each other; you won’t come to attack me, and I can’t reach you. Are you still afraid I’ll cheat you? This time, bring me a few tons of those magic-replenishing elixirs. Let me make it clear, I’ll need to count on your support for elixirs in the future!
"Golden Elixir is no big deal." The Fifth Prince asked plaintively: "But lately, the Jade Emperor has been contacting comrades, preparing to collectively question why our government is colluding with foreign bandits to oppress our citizens. How should I respond, do you think? You appeared with me that day, don’t think the Jade Emperor didn’t notice! He’s got quite the temper; despite you sweeping his headquarters, his influence is still considerable! I’m really worried about how to answer these Jianghu rogues. Today I’m helping you, but should a day come when I need your help to suppress these rogues, you can’t just stand by."
"I’ll handle this for you; later I’ll send you a map and a new coordinate. Then you gather all these Jianghu rogues for a meeting, tell them I’m from the Demon World, hand them the map, and use the magic teleportation array I left you to teleport them across space to the Demon World!" Liu Zhenhuan had long thought about how to handle this matter. With so many masters among the Silk Continent’s populace and the Jade Emperor’s strong influence, it was just as well to let them cause trouble in the Demon World.
On Wenvinok Island in the Demon World, there’s a magic teleportation array left by Liu Zhenhuan, serving as a transfer base. He and the Demon Clan’s Silver Eyes look so alike, these Silk rogues seeing them in the Demon World would have no choice but to believe it.
As for whether these Silk rogues would cross the Space-Time Rift to suddenly arrive on the Aegean Continent, Old Liu wasn’t concerned about that for the time being.
"Will this idea really work?" The Fifth Prince only half-understood what kind of entities the Demon Clan were, and he was uncertain.
"Once these guys are transported to the Demon World, it’ll be unlikely they’ll want to return to the Silk Continent again!" Liu Zhenhuan laughed: "Haven’t you always wanted to exile those Jianghu rogues? I’m just solving a major hidden problem for you!"
This statement hit the Fifth Prince right in the heart, and he agreed readily.
It was only with inviting the Tang Zang masters that progress was relatively smooth; other invitations, due to various reasons, had negligible results.
Among those, Old Liu’s eldest daughter-in-law Enrida, having been absent from the Abyssal Realm for over ten thousand years, was busy reorganizing her tribe and subordinating her former subordinates, leaving her no time to offer help. Meanwhile, the Sea Dragon King of the Nasdaq Sea Kingdom in the Demon World only had trade relations with Old Liu, no close ties, and thus was not eager to send high-ranking warriors for such a perilous battle upon receiving the invitation—it’s not merely a matter of dispatching a master to cast a Forbidden Curse; in a large-scale melee, the slightest misstep by an Incantation Holder could mean death!
However, Old Liu had not yet handed over all the An’erle Formation’s decomposition diagrams to the Sea Dragon King. The worldly-wise King Lydonto naturally couldn’t just refuse the invitation outright. After much deliberation, the Sea Dragon King agreed to bring a few masters to observe the battle, as risking their lives wasn’t necessary, but they could certainly offer help sparring with peace-seeking punches.
There were undoubtedly many who shared the same sentiment as the Sea Dragon King. This time, not all five of the Aegean’s Great Magicians came to assist; it wasn’t that the Great Magicians lacked revolutionary martyr spirit against foreign invasion, but the stakes were high, the danger too great, and since it was a defensive battle initiated personally by the Lord Saint Xiao, coming suddenly to participate might very well lead to an unavoidable mishap.
The countries where the Magicians resided brought up numerous excuses to obstruct their attendance at Phylenzi to help.
The probability of a nation producing a Magician is exceedingly low; no matter how fearless the Magicians are towards death, their kings wouldn’t take such risks.
After all, this involves battling against the formidable Underworld Clan; no matter how renowned the name of the Lord Saint Xiao is, it wouldn’t help.
According to the balance of power in the Aegean World, even if a deity were to come to this Main Material World, as long as they transform into a metabolic life form, they can likewise be killed, whether it’s a matter of ants overwhelming an elephant or being felled by a top-tier magical coup de grâce, both are very possible, and the Underworld Clan possesses ample conditions for both.
