"Yang Dingtian, what else do you want?
I just want to protect the Ning Clan. I treat your son like my own. He's the future master of the Ning Clan. What else do you want? "Ning Wuming said sternly.
Yang Dingtian remained silent. "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Refuse to cooperate with the Snow Clan, and don't give them the treasure of the Demon City's Merchant Palace," Ning Wuming said.
Yang Dingtian said, "But two days ago, when Ximen Ju came on your behalf, he proposed a deal. He wanted me to give you the treasure of the Demon City's Merchant Palace."
"That was just a test. I just wanted you to know the value of the treasure. Don't cooperate with the Snow Clan," Ning Wuming said.
"Your ears are very sharp. When the Snow Clan came to find me, you already knew," Yang Dingtian said.
"The Snow Clan and the Ning Clan have been in contact for almost a thousand years. How could we not be familiar with each other?"
Ning Wuming said, "It's because of your existence that the Snow Clan has an ambition they shouldn't have. They're trying to take over the entire southernmost land."
"If the Snow Clan didn't come to cooperate with me, would you have come to me?" Yang Dingtian suddenly asked.
"Green Lord Zhu wanted to get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness, so I had the urge to come to you. But in the end, I still didn't want to cooperate with you," Ning Wuming said. "Even if Green Lord Zhu wanted to get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness, he didn't have the strength to do so.
I would have continued to cooperate with Green Lord Zhu to eliminate you.
Then I would have followed him and the Pleasure Palace to divide the western region. "
Ning Wuming sighed. "I didn't expect the Snow Clan to appear. I know the experts of the Snow Clan very well.
If they fully support you, then you and Green Lord Zhu's power will be on par. No one will be able to eliminate the other.
If the two of you are fine, then I'm not.
I'm not afraid of Green Lord Zhu, but I'm afraid of you.
He can't kill me, but you and the Snow Clan can.
Originally, you had nothing to do with the Snow Clan, but Mo Zhi is pregnant with your child. "
"So I thought about it, but there's nothing I can do.
I can only cut off the possibility of you cooperating with the Snow Clan and work with you myself. "Ning Wuming said," Whether the Snow Clan saves you or I saves you, it's all the same. "
Yang Dingtian fell silent for a moment before he said, "Do you know what the Demon City's Merchant Palace's treasure is?"
"Roughly." Ning Wuming said.
"What?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"It should be considered a key."
Ning Wuming said, "The key to opening an endless treasury. After entering this treasury, you might be able to become the number one person in the world."
"Since it's so precious, why didn't anyone fight for it at the auction? Why did I get it so easily?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Because no one knew what it was at that time?" Ning Wuming said.
"Then why do you know now?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Because a very, very, very important person wants this item." Ning Wuming said, "I'm sorry, that's all I can say.
If you want to know more, I'll tell you after we complete the transaction! "
Yang Dingtian continued to be silent.
Ning Wuming said, "Yang Dingtian, the terms I proposed are already very good.
As long as you refuse to cooperate with the Snow Clan, I'll help you defeat Zhu Qingzhu.
Then, you'll send Wu Mozhi to me. I'll treat the child in her womb as my own and make him the successor of the Ning Clan.
After that, your Council of Light and my Ning Clan will mind our own business. I won't interfere in the affairs of the world! "
"What if I refuse?" Yang Dingtian said.
"Then I'll help Zhu Qingzhu beat you with all my strength." Ning Wuming said.
"But I have the help of the Snow Clan's experts. I'm not at a disadvantage anymore. You can't do anything to me." Yang Dingtian said.
"That's right. When the time comes, you'll have five Martial Grandmasters. We won't be able to kill you. Zhu Qingzhu can only retreat." Ning Wuming said, "Next, you'll join forces with the Snow Clan to attack my Ning Clan.
So, in order to save my life, I can only rely on others. For example, Wu Youming!
I'm sure you don't want to see that happen! "
"Yang Dingtian, this is a very good deal." Ning Wuming said indifferently, "I'll help you kill Zhu Qingzhu and we'll mind our own business.
Wu Mozhi will belong to me and your son will become the future leader of the Ning Clan! "
Then, Ning Wuming took out a box and said, "There's a pill called Fierce Flame Pill inside. Put it on the coffins of the Snow Clan's experts and it will cause great damage to them.
When I arrived at the battlefield, I smelled the scent of the Snow Clan's experts and knew it was your signal.
Whether you agree or not, I'll give you the Fierce Flame Pill. "
Yang Dingtian took the box and put it in his bosom.
"I hope we'll have a pleasant cooperation!" Ning Wuming said and then quickly left.
Yang Dingtian went to have a meal with Mistress and the others. Then, he used his fastest speed to return to the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
…
Three days later.
The Snow Clan's experts arrived. Three women escorted twelve ice coffins and flew to the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Among the twelve coffins, there were three Venerable Masters and nine Venerable Masters!
The Snow Clan's woman, Brooke Moni, said to Yang Dingtian, "I've brought the Snow Clan's experts.
Sect Master Yang, did you get the Phantom Spirit Demon Matriarch? "
"Yes, I did."
Yang Dingtian said, "It's just a ten thousand year old ancient Frigid Ice Jellyfish. It only has two instincts. One is to constantly absorb the ice energy and the other is to constantly release it."
The Snow Clan's woman was overjoyed, "Sect Master Yang is indeed powerful. No one in the world can catch the Phantom Spirit Demon Matriarch and you actually got it.
So, have you decided to make the deal? "
"Not yet." Yang Dingtian said.
"Why?"
The Snow Clan's woman said, "The Demon City's Merchant Palace's treasure is useless to you."
"Because I don't know what kind of treasure it is. If it's too valuable, I'll be a fool." Yang Dingtian said.
"You're too greedy, City Lord Yang." The Snow Clan's woman said, "What could be more important than your life?
If you can't even keep your life, what's the point of this treasure even if it's priceless? "
"It's not the time to make the deal anyway. I still have time to think, don't I?" Yang Dingtian said.
"Indeed, your performance reminds me of the saying, 'You won't cry until you see the coffin'." The snow woman said: "I have to warn you, you only have two grandmasters on your side.
As for Zhu Qingzhu, he had a total of six martial grandmasters.
Without our help, you'll die without a doubt. "
"If there's a need, I'll definitely ask for your help!" Yang Dingtian said.
The Snow Clan's woman's expression was full of displeasure.
Then, the three Snow Clan's women escorted the twelve coffins into the deepest dungeon of the castle. They didn't sleep or rest, guarding the twelve coffins.
… …
The Council of Light's upper echelons were all in a secret room.
Yang Dingtian repeated the details of Ning Wuming's negotiation, then asked, "Everyone, do you think Ning Wuming's words are true?"
"I don't trust him. He's extremely cunning." Song Chunhua said, "His every action and every word is a trap!"
Qin Wanchou said, "I've never seen such a cunning person in my life. We have to be careful!"
Tang Bozhao said, "According to the relevant information, Zhu Qingzhu had reached an agreement with the Vulture Palace.
When Zhu Qingzhu was trying to obtain the Sky Cloud Pavilion and Earth Splitting City, the Vulture Sect interfered and almost caused him to fail!
Perhaps the agreement between Zhu Qingzhu and the Vulture Sect has something to do with the Ning Clan of the South Sea. "
Qin Huaiyu suddenly said, "Sect Master, I'd like to ask, are Ning Wuming's feelings for Wu Mozhi real?"
Yang Dingtian recalled for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be real."
Qin Huaiyu said, "If a person's love is real, then his ambition will also be vicious. Basically, one leg will be tied up, so even if he's evil, it's very difficult for him to be completely evil!"
Qin Huaiyu was judging others by their own standards. He was also a ruthless person, and he was completely unscrupulous in the past.
Later on, because of Ning Rou 'er and Little Ningning, a flaw appeared in his heart, and he gradually became weak.
Then, after a long period of contact with Yang Dingtian, in addition to being suppressed by Qin Qiqi and Qin Wanchou, he almost fell into a desperate situation and even committed suicide.
Since then, Qin Huaiyu had completely changed.
It was as if a person who died once would undergo a transformation.
He felt that if a person truly loved, then there would be flaws and weaknesses in their character, and it would be very difficult for them to be extremely evil.
Therefore, Qin Huaiyu chose to trust Ning Wuming a little.
Moreover, Qin Qiqi had also said that Ning Wuming had said so much to him, such as forcing him to kill Qin Qiqi, because he wanted to save Qin Qiqi's life.
In the end, regarding the contents of Ning Wuming's negotiation, it was impossible to determine whether it was true or not.
"If we really want to keep Zhu Qingzhu and Ning Wuming, do we have to cooperate with the Snow Clan?" Zhu Hongxue suddenly asked.
Yang Dingtian nodded, and so did Qin Wanchou.
Now, Yang Dingtian's side had a total of six martial grandmasters.
Zhu Qingzhu also had six, so it would only be a situation where both sides would suffer.
It was impossible to keep Zhu Qingzhu.
However, if the Snow Clan's three martial grandmasters and nine martial grandmasters were added, it was completely possible.
If the contents of Ning Wuming's negotiation were true, then if they chose to cooperate with the Snow Clan, the number of martial grandmasters on both sides would be nine to six.
Yang Dingtian had nine and Zhu Qingzhu had six.
At this time, it was possible to keep Zhu Qingzhu, but it was very difficult. There was only a twenty to thirty percent chance of success.
If they chose to cooperate with Ning Wuming.
Ning Wuming had said that they could use the Temple Token to force Joyous Palace to change their attitude.
Moreover, he had hidden an expert in the Black Heaven Sect.
In this way, Zhu Qingzhu would only have three martial grandmasters left, but he would have to face the pincer attack of Yang Dingtian's six martial grandmasters and the three martial grandmasters from the Evil ways.
The ratio of power was now nine to three.
With a ratio of nine to three, the probability of taking down Zhu Qingzhu was at least eighty to ninety percent.
In this way, the benefits of cooperating with Ning Wuming were much greater. They would not have to lose the trump card of the Demon City's Merchant Palace, and the probability of eliminating Zhu Qingzhu was much higher.
However, the key was whether to believe Ning Wuming's words.
His deal seemed very tempting.
Yang Dingtian would not have to pay anything, and Ning Wuming would help him eliminate Zhu Qingzhu.
Then, before the Demon King was resurrected, he would never step foot on the mainland.
Moreover, the child in Wu Mozhi's stomach would become the new Ning Clan Master in the future!
It seemed like the terms of this deal were extremely generous.
However, if Yang Dingtian chose to cooperate with the Snow Clan, even if they could not eliminate Zhu Qingzhu, defeating him would not be a problem.
After that, Yang Dingtian would cooperate with the Snow Clan to eliminate the Ning Clan.
When that time came, the entire Ning Clan would be destroyed. If Ning Wuming wanted to escape, he would have to rely on Wu Youming as a servant. However, this would be extremely painful for Ning Wuming.
Moreover, it might not be possible because he was already Li Ming's lackey. Even if he wanted to rely on someone else as a lackey, they might not be willing to accept him.
Even if they did, Li Ming might not let him off in the future.
…
"Sect Master, Zhu Qingzhu has secretly left the Black Heaven Sect. He should be fully prepared."
Qin Wanchou said, "If nothing goes wrong, he will mobilize all his top experts to eliminate the Council of Light by tomorrow night at the latest."
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Qin Wanchou said, "No matter what decision or choice you make, you must make it.
However, no matter what choice you make, we will support you! "
"Thank you!" Yang Dingtian nodded.
"Then I'll go have a good sleep and prepare for tomorrow's big battle." Qin Wanchou patted Yang Dingtian's shoulder and left.
Now, Yang Dingtian had three choices.
The first choice was to not hand over the trump card and not cooperate with the Snow Clan.
However, if he did not cooperate with Ning Wuming, both he and Zhu Qingzhu would suffer losses.
Neither side could do anything to the other, but both sides would suffer losses.
Perhaps many of the Grandmasters would die.
The second choice was to cooperate with the Snow Clan.
Then, he would definitely win this battle, but the probability of killing Zhu Qingzhu was about twenty to thirty percent.
The consequence would be to hand over the trump card.
The third choice was to cooperate with Ning Wuming. Then, not only would he win this battle, but he would also be able to eliminate Zhu Qingzhu.
Moreover, he would not have to hand over the trump card.
However, his only concern was whether he could trust Ning Wuming or not!
The first choice did not require him to hand over the trump card, but the casualties would be the greatest.
The second choice required him to hand over the trump card, but the casualties would be small and the battle results would be small, but it was the safest choice.
The third choice had the greatest benefits, but the risk was also the greatest.
These three choices, no matter which one it was, were all a gamble!
…
Late at night, Yang Dingtian came to the depths of the cave.
The three Snow Clan women did not sleep or rest, guarding the twelve ice coffins.
"What?
Sect Master Yang, have you made up your mind? "
The Snow Clan woman said, "As long as you hand over the trump card, the twelve of us will guarantee your safety and even victory."
"Can you open the ice coffins? I want to see the people inside." Yang Dingtian said.
"No." The Snow Clan woman said, "After you agree and release the Phantom Spirit Demon Mother, the twelve of us will fight with you.
The twelve masters of the Snow Clan will immediately come out and fight for you. Otherwise, they must stay in the coffins. If they open the ice coffins, their cultivation will be damaged. "
"Just for a moment, there will be damage?" Yang Dingtian sneered.
"Yes, there will be some damage." The Snow Clan woman said.
"What if I must see it?" Yang Dingtian said.
The Snow Clan woman fell into a fierce struggle, then nodded, "Okay, only one coffin can be opened."
"I want to see the person with the highest cultivation." Yang Dingtian said.
The Snow Clan woman frowned, "Sect Master Yang, the person with the highest cultivation is also the one with the most noble status. Don't go too far."
"What if I must?" Yang Dingtian said.
The Snow Clan woman gritted her teeth, then nodded, "Sect Master Yang, you really disappoint me!"
Then, she came to the middle coffin.
Suddenly, the three Snow Clan women guarded the coffin in the middle.
"Whoosh …" The Snow Clan woman suddenly opened the coffin.
Instantly, a bone-piercing cold aura rushed out.
Almost in an instant, the entire floor of the dungeon was covered with frost, and the temperature dropped to below zero.
The person in the coffin had a ruddy face, without the slightest feeling of being frozen.
The face was somewhat familiar.
The person in the coffin was middle-aged, wearing an incomparably luxurious brocade robe and holding an ice jade sword.
His face was extremely handsome and dignified, somewhat similar to Wu Mozhi.
Could it be that the person in the coffin was Wu Mozhi's father?
The Snow Clan King!
If that was the case, then the Snow Clan had really sent out all their forces.
Even the King of the Snow Clan had come, which showed how determined he was to get this treasure.
"Sect Master Yang, do you see our sincerity?" The Snow Clan woman quickly closed the coffin, then said coldly.
Yang Dingtian nodded and said, "Many thanks for your noble's deep friendship.
I have one last question. "
The Snow Clan woman said angrily, "Sect Master Yang, don't go too far.
Don't think that we have to beg you. "
Yang Dingtian asked, "I would like to ask. What exactly is this Demon City's Merchant Palace's treasure that you want to obtain from me?
Don't be too detailed, just tell me a little, okay? "
The Snow Clan woman immediately shut her mouth, not saying a word, and glared coldly at Yang Dingtian.
Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian stood straight in front of her and stared at her.
After a long while, the Snow Clan woman said, "That thing is only a key, a key to open something.
Alright, that's all I can say. "
With that, the Snow Clan woman Brooke Moni sat on the ground, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breath, no longer paying any attention to Yang Dingtian.
"Then see you tomorrow, goodbye." Yang Dingtian said.
…
The next day came.
Today, Zhu Qingzhu's six grandmasters and dozens of grandmasters would definitely attack.
In fact, they were already here.
The Demon Eagle Legion had detected them at the first moment. They came from the Joyous Palace in the north.
Hundreds of black figures riding Demon Spirit Rays flew toward the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
All of them were wearing the black cloak of the Joyous Palace.
Because they were attacking in the name of Evil ways, Zhu Qingzhu and the others had to dress up like the Joyous Palace.
Yesterday, Zhu Qingzhu and a few hundred experts set off from the Joyous Palace. Now, they were eighteen thousand li away from the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
When the sun rose today, they discovered Zhu Qingzhu's group of experts in the Bedlam Sea.
Currently, they were nine thousand li away from the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
When night fell, Zhu Qingzhu's six grandmasters, dozens of grandmasters, and hundreds of grandmasters would arrive at the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Although there were only a few hundred of them, they could destroy the heaven and earth.
This was the biggest battle!
Night fell.
Zhu Qingzhu's group of experts and hundreds of black figures appeared in the sky above the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
The final battle had finally arrived.
