Chapter 496 Never Compromise
"What did you say? Do you want to make the original? Give us a handwritten copy?"
Dongfang Wei almost thought he had heard it wrong. After all, they used to cooperate with "Dugu Cang" and agreed to give "Dugu Cang" only a handwritten copy. Unexpectedly, after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, "Dugu Cang" now cooperated with them and actually wanted the original one directly.
"Dugu Cang, don't go too far! We discovered the inheritance of the Great Emperor. If you help us break the stone tablet, we will at most give you a handwritten copy of the Emperor's Sutra. How could we give it to you originally?"
Zhao Bitong said angrily, "Dugu Cang"'s request was too much for them. Their War God Palace is an imperial power, and the Dugu family is a small first-class power. Why should we compete with them for the original of the Emperor's Sutra?
Of course, what really angered her was that "Dugu Cang" didn't take them seriously at all. The heavenly priests of the Dugu family had a sense of superiority, which Zhao Bitong could understand. After all, the inheritance time of the Dugu family was longer than their War God Palace. Moreover, the Tianjian Domain where Chongxu Holy Land was located was the territory of the Dugu family.
Zhao Bitong really doesn't know how the sense of superiority of "Dugu Cang" came into being. The Dugu family is a branch of the Dugu family, just like their branch of the God of War in the Tianjian Domain, and is incomparable to their God of War.
Liu Chi was so angry that his face turned red. It would be fine if "Dugu Cang" didn't take him seriously, but the key was that Dongfang Wei didn't take him seriously either. The elders of their God of War Palace arranged for Dongfang Wei to lead the team, which just means that other Heavenly Venerables in their God of War Palace needed to listen to Dongfang Wei. A genius like him who could be promoted to Heavenly Venerable at any time did not need to listen to Dongfang Wei at all.
Dongfang Wei knew about Liu Chi's situation, so he had never ordered Liu Chi to do anything before. But now, Liu Chi has no hope of being promoted to Tianzun, so Dongfang Wei naturally would not respect Liu Chi as much as before.
"Dear junior brothers and sisters, have you heard clearly?" Liu Chi did not argue with Dongfang Wei, but encouraged other heavenly priests to say, "He asked for the original Emperor's Sutra, can we spoil him? I think we can take him down. If he doesn't help us break the stone tablet, we will torture him to death!"
In Liu Chi's opinion, the single-handed "Dugu Cang" is not qualified to negotiate with them. Moreover, if other heavenly priests in the God of War Palace are willing to listen to him, "Dugu Cang" will soon admit the fish on the chopping board and let him slaughter it.
Relying on Dongfang Wei, there is obviously no chance, Liu Chi can only place his hope on other heavenly priests. After all, the conditions offered by "Dugu Cang" have angered many heavenly priests. As long as he has a little boost, these heavenly priests may be used by him.
"I think Senior Brother Liu's proposal is feasible. It is much easier to take him down than to negotiate terms with him."
"What we say is reasonable. As long as we take him down, how can we just knead him? Then, don't talk about the original, we don't even have to give him the manuscript."
The eyes of these heavenly priests of the God of War Palace looked at the sword demon, which contained endless anger and hatred. If it weren't for "Dugu Cang" who destroyed Dongfang Wei's "Holy Talisman" and the prototype of Liu Chi's ninth heavenly mansion last time, how could the emperor's inheritance in Zhao Bitong be snatched away by the heavenly priests of the Dugu family?
"Don't be impatient. I will discuss the conditions. You guys will retreat to the side."
Dongfang Wei said with a cold face. Although he also thought that "Dugucang" was not their opponent, defeating "Dugucang" was one thing, and taking "Dugucang" was another thing. If "Dugucang" sensed their intention and immediately ran away, the possibility of them taking "Dugucang" was almost zero.
Unfortunately, these heavenly priests in the God of War Palace have no intention of retreating at all. Compared with negotiating terms, they are more inclined to take action. Why should the domineering people of the mere first-rate power negotiate terms with them?
"What? What I said doesn't work?"
Dongfang Wei asked sternly that if he could do it, he would not negotiate terms with "Dugu Cang". The other priests of their God of War Palace obviously underestimated the strength of "Dugu Cang", but he would not make such mistakes.
The elders of the God of War Palace asked him to lead the team not only because of his strength, but also because of his overall situation. Liu Chi would be blinded by personal grudges, but he would not. The inheritance of the emperor is what he values most, and the importance of revenge must be ranked below the inheritance of the emperor.
In fact, the conflict between Dongfang Wei and "Dugu Cang" is not a personal grudge. "Dugu Cang" destroyed Dongfang Wei's "holy talisman" in public, causing their God of War Palace to fail to preserve the inheritance of the emperor. "Dugu Cang" can be said to be the public enemy of their God of War Palace.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, what we mean is..."
Feng Chiyan was stopped by Dongfang Wei just halfway through his words. Dongfang Wei was not discussing with them, but giving them an order. Unless they broke up with Dongfang Wei, they would definitely listen to Dongfang Wei's orders.
These priests of the God of War Palace only hesitated for a moment, and decided to retreat to the side to watch the show according to what Dongfang Wei said. They didn’t need to take action, and Dongfang Wei could handle it completely. If Dongfang Wei and "Dugu Cang" were not agreed on, it would not be too late for them to take action. At that time, I believe Dongfang Wei would not stop them, and might even help them.
"It was not possible, we can only give you a handwritten copy." Dongfang Wei no longer looked at the Heavenly Lord of their God of War Palace, but turned around and discussed with the sword demon, "Compared with Dugu Mei, my sincerity is obviously more sufficient. The last time you cooperated with Dugu Mei, Dugu Mei didn't even give you a handwritten copy, right?"
Dongfang Wei knows who Dugu Mei is. "Dugu Cang" cooperates with Dugu Mei purely to seek skin from a tiger. What Dongfang Wei can't understand is why "Dugu Cang" can appear in front of them without any harm. Normally, shouldn't Dugu Mei kill "Dugu Cang"?
"Of course she won't give me a copy, because she gave me the original."
The sword demon said the truth, but unfortunately, Dongfang Wei and the others would not believe it. Of course, whether they believe it or not, the sword demon actually doesn't matter. Otherwise, the sword demon will directly take out the emperor's inheritance, wouldn't Dongfang Wei and the others have to believe it?
"Do you think of me as a three-year-old child?" Dongfang Wei pointed to the stone tablet in front and bewitched, "As long as you help me break the stone tablet, I will definitely give you a handwritten copy of the Emperor's Sutra, and I will not tell the warriors of the Dugu family about the news that your Dugu family got the handwritten copy of the Emperor's Sutra."
"If you are worried, I can swear in the name of God of Tao!"
Whether the Dugu family has a manuscript of the Emperor's Sutra, their headquarters of the God of War Palace doesn't care at all. Anyway, if the Dugu family is strong, it will only be incomparable to the Dugu family. Their God of War Palace is far away in the War God Realm and has almost no intersection with the Dugu family.
