In the past few months, the various activities of the Hades Palace in the Eastern Wasteland have been really strange. Not only the Heavenly Court is curious about it, but the Huangquan Tower is also very interested.
For them, catching Cao Xuanbin is secondary, the most important thing is to understand the intentions of the Hades Palace.
Because of this, they had previously sneaked into Qisha City and remained silent.
If the commotion outside the city hadn't alarmed them today, they wouldn't have taken action so quickly for fear of things changing.
Knowing the intentions of Huangquan Tower, the killers led by Hades God Palace avoided the important points and took the easy way out.
"This person was appointed by the higher-ups. I don't know the exact reason. But there have been instructions from the higher-ups. If this person falls into the hands of Heavenly Court or your Huangquan Tower, you should not use force easily. We can have a good talk.
"
"How to talk? If you don't answer the questions I asked, what else is there to talk about?"
The spiritualist of Huangquan Tower said this verbally, but he was very restrained.
Both sides had similar numbers and strength, so he wasn't sure if there would be a big fight.
"We, the God of the Underworld, are willing to exchange a bottle of underworld water for Cao Xuanbin."
As soon as these words came out, the spirit summoners in Huangquan Tower immediately became commotion.
It seems that the value of the underworld water is extraordinary.
"Is this true?"
The leader's face changed several times, and his eyes hidden under the ghost mask were faintly excited.
"It's absolutely true, as long as you hand him over, we promise to do it."
"Of course, we are just ordinary underworld soldiers, and valuable things such as underworld water are naturally not with us. They are jointly kept by several underworld generals."
"If you accept the conditions, we can notify the superiors immediately, and then we will hand over the goods and deliver the goods."
The killer from Hades Palace added.
"Hmph, I asked you to inform us. When the underworld arrives, we may not be able to die without a burial place."
The people in Huangquan Tower shook their heads repeatedly. "Besides, this matter is not ours to decide. To tell you the truth, we are planning to send this kid to a Soul Eater."
"Then let the adults on both sides discuss it and make a decision! With the hostages in hand, you don't have to worry about us doing anything detrimental to you."
The people from Hades Palace suggested.
The people in Huangquan Tower lowered their heads and whispered to each other for a while, and quickly responded. "Okay, let's get in touch and see."
As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate, and several leading figures used methods such as Wanli Telephone Notes to contact their respective superiors.
After a while.
"The Soul Eater said that if the Netherworld Palace is really willing to exchange the Netherworld Water, we can give up on Cao Xuanbin."
The people from Huangquan Tower said, and when the fat boy who was carried on his shoulders heard this, his eyes suddenly widened with reluctance on his face.
But he couldn't move, couldn't even open his mouth to speak.
"Master Mingjiang has also given feedback. Since the master responsible for keeping the Mingshui is far away, he probably won't be able to get here until tomorrow morning, and then the transaction can be carried out."
The people from Hades Palace hesitated.
"Humph, there won't be any conspiracy, right?"
The people in Huangquan Tower were immediately very dissatisfied.
"We are sincere in the transaction. Please believe that we hope that Cao Xuanbin can survive more than you do. If we play any tricks and you kill the hostages directly, we will have a greater responsibility."
The people in Hades Palace immediately explained, but the people in Huangquan Tower didn't seem to believe it.
Seeing this, the leader of the Hades Palace sighed and said again.
"To be honest, this kid was appointed by the senior leader of our Hades Palace, the Hades Guard, nicknamed the Man in the Hat. He has repeatedly said that he must be captured alive and not dead, so we really don't dare to play tricks.
What a naughty thing."
When it came to this, the people in Huangquan Tower believed it a little, avoided them, and started talking in private.
"Lord Soul Eater said that he won't be able to get here until late at night. Why don't you agree to them first and wait until he comes to make a decision?"
"That Lord Soul Eater knows the secret technique of searching for souls. No matter what the underworld palace wants to do, I will search the soul of Cao Xuanbin and obtain his memories, and the truth will be revealed."
This proposal was approved by everyone and they nodded.
Both sides are equally powerful. If they don't agree to this condition, they will have to fight, and then half of their troops will probably be lost.
None of them were willing to lose their lives for Cao Xuanbin, who had no idea of his worth.
"What if the Hades Palace is just a delaying tactic and takes advantage of our lack of preparedness to launch a sneak attack?" one person asked cautiously.
"If that's the case, then you have to keep an eye on Cao Xuanbin. He is our talisman. For the sake of Ming Shui, this risk is worth taking. Lord Soul Eater, if this transaction can be completed smoothly, each of us will be
great merit."
Thinking of the rich rewards, a group of spiritualists were secretly excited, and the leader came forward to accept the conditions of Hades Palace.
"In that case, let's camp here and wait one night for the top leaders of both parties to come over and let them negotiate in person."
"For the sake of caution, please retreat five miles away."
The people in the Hades Palace had no objections, and the people in the Huangquan Tower couldn't escape within just five miles.
So the two parties opened a distance of five miles from each other, lived in peace, and prepared to wait all night.
Two miles away, Gu Chen, whose spiritual consciousness spied on the entire negotiation process between the two parties, could not help but frown deeply at this time.
"I originally thought that the two sides would definitely fight. Then I could take advantage of the troubled waters and kill a few guys from Hades Palace."
"I didn't expect that the Hades Palace would offer conditions to buy the Huangquan Tower. What kind of treasure is the Hades Water? Is it so valuable?"
Gu Chen's expression was gloomy. According to the development of this situation, Hades Palace will get Cao Xuanbin as hoped!
And he was busy in vain!
"Their negotiations must be disrupted, no matter what!"
Gu Chen gritted his teeth, the dark bird robe that was as dark as the long night stimulated his nerves.
However, the numbers of the two forces far outnumbered him. No matter how he tried to destroy it, it might cost him his life.
At this time, it was too late to go back to Heaven to bring in reinforcements. He could only rely on himself!
Gu Chen's expression was uncertain and he thought for a long time.
Until the sky was almost darkening, he saw wild geese flying south in the distance. One wild goose broke away from the group and looked very uncoordinated. An idea flashed in his mind.
"Yes, let's do this!"
The corners of his mouth curled up, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
The blood moon is like a hook, and the night is as cold as water.
Twenty soul-callers from Huangquan Tower were stationed on the hill, with bonfires lit and chatting and laughing with each other.
As long as the Soul Eater arrives late at night and they successfully hand over the Cao family's little fat boy, they will receive generous rewards.
This reward is so heavy that the rewards from ten ordinary tasks cannot match it.
The people in Hades Palace were five miles away, and it was very comfortable to watch them keep their peace and quiet in the night.
Boom!
The strong wind was blowing, and suddenly there was a high-pitched whistle.
A spiritualist was meditating silently when a green arrow suddenly arrived, as fast as light and fire, revealing its murderous intent!
puff.
He didn't have time to react, his head was pierced through, an arrow was nailed to the ground, and blood spurted out!
