"There is no problem with the spiritual stones, but the number of spiritual materials is too large and there are too many types. We can only pay one-third at most. And even so, we cannot collect such a large amount in a short time, so we can only pay part of it first . The remaining part must be paid slowly after winning this battle." Moen answered in a deep voice after trying to calm down the anger in his heart.
Although he had long been mentally prepared for the Ice Demon Lion to open his mouth, when he really saw the conditions proposed by the other party, Moen still couldn't help but feel furious in his heart. Five million high-grade spiritual stones are okay. Although the number is large, Huangzhou can still get them at the moment, but the number of spiritual materials on the list is terrifying. In total, it should be more than all the treasures of the seven temples combined. And the northeastern part of Huangzhou claimed by Youzhou is the area with the richest resources in Huangzhou, except for the central area. The Ice Demon made such a condition, and it was clear that he wanted to break the bones and suck out the marrow. If everything is carried out according to their conditions, even if Huangzhou repells the attack of Zhongzhou monks in the future, he will be suppressed by the ice demon.
However, although he was filled with rage, Moen did not let his anger go to his head in the end. Although Huangzhou is not defeated now, it is still at a critical moment of life and death. In this battle with the Qingxu Sect Alliance, Huangzhou must win a big victory. Once it fails, or even just defeats the Qingxu Sect Alliance, its own strength will be greatly damaged, and Huangzhou will still be in crisis of destruction. Therefore, no matter how harsh the conditions offered by the Ice Demon are, Moen can only negotiate hard and cannot directly turn against him.
"The spiritual stones must be paid before we take action, and the amount of spiritual materials cannot be less. However, considering the time issue, we can give you some time. Before the war begins, you only need to pay half, and the remaining part can be used in the next twenty years. Pay it off. If you can't do it, then let this matter go." After a brief exchange, Tie Hong responded coldly. When offering such conditions, Tiehong and others estimated the payment ability of the seven major temples in Huangzhou. Knowing that the other party cannot produce so many spiritual materials at once. However, the reason for offering such a high price is not that Tie Hong and others do not want to make a deal, but that they want to squeeze out as much of Huangzhou's heritage as possible to prepare for suppressing Huangzhou in the future. After all, after losing such a large amount of spiritual materials all at once, the recovery speed of the monks in Huangzhou will be greatly reduced, and the monks may even be disconnected. Until then, Youzhou suppressed. It would even be easier to annex the barren state.
"Little friend Mo, you have to think clearly. Although there are a lot of spiritual materials, they are external possessions after all. If this battle fails, will these things still belong to you? I'm afraid they will become the trophies of the monks in Zhongzhou, right? We Ice Demons People only want these things to restore their strength quickly, and they will not endanger the foundation of Huangzhou." Tie Guda said gently.
As expected by Moen and others, the Ice Demons are also afraid that the people from Zhongzhou will destroy the monks in Huangzhou and annex Huangzhou. After all, to the Zhongzhou monks, the Ice Demons were a completely alien race. And occupying Youzhou, which is not too barren in resources, race wars are almost inevitable. Therefore, for the Ice Demons, the best situation is for a weak Huangzhou to resist the pressure from Zhongzhou on the front line, while the Ice Demons use the extorted resources and land to continuously increase their own strength until they have the strength to confront Zhongzhou head-on. When the monks are fighting. Then annex the barren state and dominate the northern land.
To achieve such a goal, reaching an agreement with the monks from Huangzhou and extorting enough resources from Huangzhou is a necessary choice. Otherwise, even if the ice demons take action to plunder. It is also difficult to obtain the necessary supplies from the seven temples' warehouses. Therefore, Tiehong pressed Moen hard and improved the conditions. At the same time, he also needed Tieguanda to act as a good guy. Relaxed atmosphere.
"The spiritual materials are at most two-thirds of what is on the list, and we can only pay one-third first. And in terms of land, we can only cede the original land of Youzhou. The monks of Huangzhou will not cede their own land. If you insist on ceding the northeastern part of Huangzhou, we can only give up asking for help and rely on our own strength to fight the Qingxu Sect Alliance. After losing to the Qingxu Sect Alliance, Huangzhou will still be ruled by the human race. If we agree to your conditions for ceding territory, In the future, Huangzhou will probably belong to the Ice Demon." Moen said through gritted teeth. Although he knew that the current situation in Huangzhou was not good, Moen was not ready to fully accept the other party's conditions. After all, the Ice Demon has bad intentions. If he insists on compromising, the other party is likely to open his mouth again and put forward more harsh conditions.
"As far as I know, the Thousand Ox Temple's sphere of influence should be in the northwest of Huangzhou, and it has not set foot in the northeast region, right? You see, we have expressed our sincerity by choosing the northeast instead of the northwest. And let the Jade Goddess Temple and Tian Wouldn't it be more conducive to the future development of the Thousand Niu Temple if the Void Temple loses some of its foundations?" Tie Guda said with a strange expression. The Ice Demon wants to annex the northeastern region of Huangzhou. In addition to valuing the resource conditions here, another important reason is to cause internal conflicts among the six major temples in Huangzhou. After all, having suddenly lost most of its foundations, even an existence like the Tianxu Temple would quickly shrink in power. At this critical moment of life and death, the temple whose core interests have been harmed may still be able to bear it, but after the war??, dissatisfaction with other temples will inevitably break out. Even if the Heavenly Slaughter Temple coordinates the interests of the major temples, it will inevitably cast a shadow on the relationship between the temples. If this situation can happen again in the Tianshi Temple in the future, then the Ice Demon will be able to laugh out of his dreams.
"The six major temples are connected with each other. Although I am a disciple of the Thousand Ox Temple, I am here on behalf of the six major temples. Therefore, I will never sacrifice the interests of other temples and cede territories belonging to other temples." Moen was very solemn. said. The Ice Demon's differentiation method was barely concealed, and Moen could naturally see it, so Moen didn't dare to let go at all. After all, land is the foundation of everything. The Youzhou land that has just been acquired and has not yet been digested can be used as a bargaining chip, but the local territory of Huangzhou must not be ceded. Because no matter which piece of land is ceded, it will cause internal rifts in Huangzhou. A weak but united Barren State still has hope of turning around, but a weak and divided Barren State will definitely only become the meat of other forces.
"The matter of spiritual materials can be done as you say, but we must obtain part of the land in Huangzhou. If you are unwilling to cede the northeastern part of Huangzhou, then you can cede us part of the northwest part of the Thousand Ox Temple." Tiehong Lengbingbing Said: "One-seventh, this is our bottom line."
"If you insist, I have nothing to say. But after the war, we do not guarantee that we will not take back the land belonging to Huangzhou." Morn said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Of course. If you have the strength, it will be no problem to take back the land of Youzhou. But now, you must hand over what we want." Tie Hong said with a sneer. (To be continued.)
