Chapter 163 Signing an Agreement, Plum Garden Conference!
"Elixir Purchase Agreement?"
Hearing Xu Hongzhen's words, Henry Zhang couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "It's not impossible, but the premise is that you have to answer my question."
"Brother Xiao, please speak."
Xu Hongzhen suddenly became energetic.
"What is your true intention?" Xiao Yang asked lightly.
"What?"
Xu Hong couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
"I believe you said that your King's City has no grievances against the Sun Federation, but what I don't believe is that King's City would take the initiative to show goodwill to a diamond-level federation!"
As Henry Zhang said, a sharp look flashed across his slightly narrowed eyes.
And Xu Hongzhen didn't expect that Henry Zhang would ask such a question. Only then did he realize that the young leader in front of him was far from being as simple as he seemed!
Under normal circumstances, even a diamond-level city lord would have been flattered by the king's city's favor, so how could he hesitate at all?
But Henry Zhang always remained calm and soon discovered the clues.
This made Xu Hongzhen panic. At this point, there was no way to fool him anymore. He had to come up with a convincing reason.
But it is impossible for him to tell the true intention of King's City. This will only make the Sun Federation more vigilant and reject this transaction agreement.
"If Xu Huashi feels embarrassed, he doesn't have to say anything." Xiao Yang said with a smile.
A little sweat dripped from Xu Hongzhen's forehead. After a long time, he finally smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xiao is really thoughtful. In this case, I won't hide it."
Henry Zhang remained silent, waiting for Xu Hongzhen's next words.
"The reason why King's City wants to show its favor to the Sun Federation is because of the gods behind you!" Xu Hongzhen said after taking a deep breath.
Hearing this, both Henry Zhang and the great elder flashed their eyes.
"So, your King's City has also done a lot of investigations." Xiao Yang said with deep meaning.
"Um!"
Regarding this point, Xu Hongzhen immediately admitted it.
"After all, the gods have not appeared on the mainland for more than ten thousand years. Even the king's city has to pay great attention to this!"
"But even so, the size difference between our Sun Federation and your King's City is still many times different. Is it worth your initiative to show your kindness?" Xiao Yang still asked with some doubts.
"Alliance Leader Xiao is joking. With the support of gods behind your Sun Federation, it is only a matter of time before you grow to the level of a king. Is it worth it?" Xu Hongzhen said with a hint of flattery in his tone.
For those who speak to the outside world in King's City, it is indeed a bit rare to speak in such a tone.
"Is it really just like this?" Henry Zhang asked again.
"It's really just like that!" Xu Hongzhen nodded heavily.
"Well, in that case, let's sign a transaction agreement as you said before, Xu Huashi!" Henry Zhang stood up and said.
Seeing this, Xu Hongzhen also had a look of surprise on his face, quickly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted to Henry Zhang:
"Thank you, Alliance Leader Xiao!"
…
After signing the transaction agreement, Xu Hongzhen said goodbye and left without any delay.
In the reception room, only Henry Zhang and the elder were left.
"City Lord, do you think Xu Hong is really telling the truth?" the great elder asked.
"I'm not sure, but even if he is telling the truth, it is definitely not the whole truth." Xiao Yang said lightly.
"Then why did you agree to sign the trade agreement?" the great elder asked in confusion.
"Because only by agreeing, can I follow the clues and find out the intentions behind the King's City. Moreover, this trade agreement will not do any harm to us. On the contrary, it will bring a lot of benefits to the Sun Federation. Next time, Zhongyuan
Lord Ji Gui is coming, and this is exactly what we need." Xiao Yang explained methodically.
"So that's it..." The great elder's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
After that, he seemed to remember something again and asked: "By the way, City Lord, are you really going to the Plum Garden Conference?"
You know, before Xu Hongzhen left, he specially took out an invitation letter and handed it to Xiao Yang, with the words Plum Garden Conference written on it.
According to Xu Hongzhen, the Plum Garden Conference in one month's time is a grand event held every ten years in the King's City. At that time, all diamond-level city lords on the mainland will be invited to see the unique scenery of the Plum Garden.
In response, Henry Zhang did not refuse, he just said that he would go when he was free.
But regarding this Plum Garden Conference, the First Elder was a little worried.
After all, we still don’t know whether King’s City is an enemy or a friend, and if Xiao Yang is alone, there is no guarantee that no accident will happen.
Henry Zhang obviously saw the worry of the great elder, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, with my current strength, looking at the entire Xuanwu Continent, as long as I am not besieged by several Daotai realm powerhouses at the same time, I still want to escape.
There is no problem at all, and since the King's City side has determined that I have the support of the gods behind me, they will not touch me easily!"
Hearing Henry Zhang's determined tone, the elder felt relieved and gave up the idea of persuading the former.
…
Time flies.
When Henry Zhang opened his eyes again from practice, it was already approaching the date of the Plum Garden Conference.
After thinking for a while, he decided to go to the King's City.
It’s not that Henry Zhang wants to participate in this Plum Garden Conference, but his cultivation speed in recent times is really too slow. It’s simply not on the same level as it was during the Ghost Festival.
This made Xiao Yang feel depressed. At the same time, he also thought that it would be better to go out and relax, and the upcoming Plum Garden Conference happened to be a good opportunity.
So, not long after, he said goodbye to the Great Elder and others, and headed to the King's City alone.
…
Flying at full speed, it only took Henry Zhang less than two days to reach the territory of the King's City.
As soon as he arrived in the sky above the King's City, he sensed an extremely rich aura of heaven and earth!
This aura of heaven and earth is at least ten times richer than any place on the mainland that Henry Zhang has been to!
The most shocking thing is that these rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth seem to be restricted in this area, with no intention of flowing to the outside world at all.
After Henry Zhang observed carefully, he discovered that the world was filled with faint fluctuations of runes.
It was the fluctuation of this rune that caused this phenomenon.
But just when Henry Zhang was about to study it, a majestic cold shout suddenly sounded from below.
"who are you?!"
Immediately afterwards, there were more than a dozen figures rising into the sky from the King's City below, surrounding Xiao Yang!
