“Xiao Rui understood the meaning behind Tang Zhen’s words. He was telling his Black Rock City not to think about taking advantage of him. He could help him, but he had to give him some benefits! ”
“Although he had a bit of a friendship with Tang Zhen, that was only a matter between the two of them. It had nothing to do with the current situation. Moreover, from Xiao Rui’s point of view, he couldn’t wait for Black Rock City to be in trouble! ”
“Regarding the murder of his parents, he had already hated all the management of Black Rock City. If they had not colluded with each other, his parents would not have died, and he and his sister would not have to suffer so much, be bullied, and be looked down on. ”
“He had to avenge his parents ‘death. However, he was currently representing Black Rock City. He was discussing with Tang Zhen about how to send troops to resist the corpse clan. Therefore, he had to correct his attitude and not let the cultivators from Black Rock City behind him see through his plan. ”
“After thinking up to this point, Xiao Rui took a deep breath and said to Tang Zhen,””Let’s not beat around the bush. As long as Castellan Tang agrees to send troops, please let us know if you have any requests. We, Black Rock City, will consider them and do our best to fulfill them.”” ”
“When a cultivator from Black Rock City heard this, he was about to say something but was stopped by his companion. However, his eyes were filled with a trace of contempt and disdain as he looked at Tang Zhen. ”
“Tang Zhen was happy when he heard that. He looked at Xiao Rui and said with a smile,””Good, you’re indeed a person who does things efficiently. If you continue to waste time on nonsense like if the lips die, the teeth will be cold, then I’ll turn around and leave. ”
“Let’s just state our conditions. If it works, we’ll cooperate. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just drop it. It’s such a simple thing!”” ”
“As soon as Tang Zhen’s voice fell, a cultivator from Black Rock City jumped out from the city wall and pointed at Tang Zhen as he cursed, Who Do You Think You Are? I’ve given you face, but you don’t want it. I’m giving you face by asking you to send out your troops. How dare you raise conditions? do you believe that after Black Rock City has eliminated the undead race, your City Tower will be the first to be destroyed! ”
“As soon as he said that, the scene suddenly fell silent! ”
Xiao Rui was so angry that his teeth itched. He wished he could kill this bastard who claimed to be helping him but was actually monitoring him.
“Among all the cultivators in charge of the negotiations, there was one such person. Just because they were the juniors of the higher-ups in Black Rock City, they were all arrogant and would jump out from time to time to point their fingers. They were all useless trash who could not accomplish anything. ”
Who knew what the higher-ups of Black Rock City were thinking to make such a stupid decision? or could it be that they did not trust these emissaries and were afraid that they would betray the interests of Black Rock City?
“No matter how he looked at it, this was a bad move. It also meant that Black Rock City’s decline was not far away! ”
“Xiao Rui’s face was as dark as water, and he stood in place without saying a word. ”
“The other three cultivators from Black Rock City had looks of agreement on their faces. It was as if it was only right and proper for the Holy Dragon City to send out their troops, and it was outrageous for them to ask for benefits. The cultivator from Black Rock City, on the other hand, had a smug look on his face. He would look at Xiao Rui with disdain from time to time. ”
Tang Zhen simply disdained to care about the mood of the few people below the city. He was already laughing crazily in his heart.
“F * ck, there was actually such a fellow who could not see the situation clearly in this world. Tang Zhen was originally worried about finding an excuse to extort a sum of money. In the end, this fellow took the initiative to jump out. If he did not take the opportunity to raise the price, he would simply be letting down this weirdo. ”
“Oh, I didn’t expect your Black Rock City to be so powerful. Fine, my Holy Dragon City shouldn’t overestimate its capabilities. Since you have the ability to destroy my Holy Dragon City, you can naturally exterminate the corpse race as well. Take care, everyone! ”
Tang Zhen turned around to leave after he said these words with an expressionless face.
“””City Lord Tang, you haven’t told us your conditions yet,”” Xiao Rui quickly said. ”
“Seeing this, the cultivator who had jumped out shouted again, “” you’re actually so submissive to the castellan of a mere Level 1 city. You’ve completely disgraced our Black Rock City. Just you wait, I’ll report this to the castellan when we get back. You’ll be punished! ”
“After he finished speaking, he turned his head and gave Tang Zhen a contemptuous smile. ”
“Xiao Rui was overjoyed. He looked at the cultivator coldly and laughed coldly. Then, he turned around and left without hesitation. Seeing that the leader had left, the other cultivators from Black Rock City quickly chased after him. ”
“Looking at the cultivators from Black Rock City who were gradually disappearing into the distance, Qian Long crossed his arms and sneered, “” “”This bunch of people really think they’re something. They’re really stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Black Rock City is in a life and death crisis this time. ”
“Under such circumstances, there’s still a guy who can’t see the situation clearly. Such big words, I really don’t know if he has a brain or not?”” ”
“As soon as Qian Long finished speaking, Tai Seng lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff, “” just look at that guy’s appearance. He must be a junior of the higher-ups in Black Rock City. He’s in charge of monitoring the leader of the team. He’s a brainless idiot. ”
“After a short pause, Tai Seng continued, “” Black Rock City is becoming more and more dejected. They’re no longer popular with the people. Now, they’re even spying on their own people. Who else can they trust? “” ”
“The young man who led the team was an understanding person and could see the situation clearly. Unfortunately, he was from Black Rock City. That place was not a place where you could rise to power just because you had the ability. ”
“Don’t think that this matter has been messed up by the junior of the higher-ups, when we return to Black Rock City, that fellow will definitely be fine. On the other hand, the young man who led the team will inevitably be punished. Tsk tsk tsk, what a world this is!”” ”
“Tang Zhen did not interrupt when he saw the mocking expressions on the faces of the two. He only waited for the two of them to finish speaking before he spoke with a somewhat serious tone,””Even if the emissaries from Black Rock City didn’t come, I still planned to go to the nest of the undead race to take a look. You may not know this, but the undead race is actually monsters from another world. There were eight powerful corpse Kings in that world, and this corpse tide was triggered by a guy called the spirit brain corpse King. ”
“This lingbrain Zombie King’s cultivation is at least at the Overlord tier and above, and the most powerful thing about this guy isn’t his cultivation, but his arrogance!”” ”
“Tang Zhen pointed at his own head and looked at Qian Long and Tai Seng, who had shocked expressions, before continuing, although the intelligence of the corpse race is extremely simple, the corpse King is different. It is the king of the corpse race, so you must never underestimate those guys who look stupid, or you might suffer a big loss! ”
“Tang Zhen slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the strange building of the corpse race. He softly said, not to mention that The Spiritual Brain corpse King has already successfully built a city with some unknown method. We can’t let our guard down against such a powerful enemy! ”
“””The corpse race actually constructed a city!”” ”
“Tai Seng and his partner were shocked by Tang Zhen’s words. The two of them weren’t fools, so they naturally knew what this meant. ”
“The corpse race was originally that kind of abnormal existence. Now that they had a base, it would be difficult for them not to grow. As the corpse race grew stronger, the living space of the human race would also become smaller and smaller. ”
“When they thought of the severity of this matter, the two of them immediately fell silent, and their brows could not help but furrow. ”
“Tang Zhen laughed softly as he looked at the worried expressions of the two people,””You don’t have to worry too much. Everything in the world is bound to counter each other. The seemingly powerful corpse clan must have an irresistible natural enemy. Since we can’t beat them head-on, we’ll try to take a roundabout route. Who knows, we might get unexpected results!”” ”
“After he finished speaking, Tang Zhen gave a mysterious smile. He ignored the two of them and slowly walked down the city wall. ”
“that’s right, if the emissaries from Black Rock City come again, tell them that without twenty thousand Level 2 brains, don’t expect Holy Dragon City to send troops! ”
Tang Zhen’s voice faintly sounded. Thousand Dragon Tai Seng looked at each other and laughed in unison.
“If the Holy Dragon City wanted to advance to Rank 2, they would need to sacrifice 20000 Rank 2 brains. It seemed that the Lord Castellan really wanted to slaughter the Black Rock City! ”
