"I don't care about that …"
Qin Fang waved his hand. "If you really hope that we can work together sincerely, then give me this brocade box … Then, you'll have priority when it comes to the distribution of benefits!"
"Priority …"
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Bilbados' eyes, as if he was slightly tempted.
"Mr. Qin, about this condition … I can't give you a definite answer for now, I can only say that I'll try my best to fight for it!"
After a moment of silence, Bilbados expressed his opinion. "But I hope that even if I can't give you what you need, you'll still give me a chance to work together … Or, change to another condition that I can fulfill!"
It was obvious that Bilbados was very enthusiastic and eager about working with Qin Fang to ambush the Vatican. Not only was he very humble, but he even tried his best to favor Qin Fang in some of his conditions.
"We'll talk about this when the time comes, I'll wait for your news …"
Qin Fang wouldn't give in so easily. He just waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Since you already have news, I believe it'll be soon. You should hurry up …"
"You should know that I'm not a European. If the Vatican is really too powerful, I can just go back to the Long Province … That's my territory. No matter how powerful the Vatican is, they wouldn't dare to go to the Long Province to deal with me!"
This was also why Qin Fang was fearless …
Bilbados still remembered the battle back then. Although Qin Fang didn't send out too many powerful forces, he couldn't remain calm when he thought about the powerful sect behind Qin Fang.
Among the "Four Emperors" who were known as the strongest on Earth, his teacher and adoptive father, Dark Lord Summerfield was one, but the other three were all from the Long Province …
Although the Vatican was very powerful, and the Pope who held the legendary artifact was a terrifying powerhouse who wasn't inferior to the "Four Emperors", he was only more arrogant and despotic in his own territory. When he was in the Long Province, he had to be humble even if he was a dragon or a ferocious tiger …
Who knew how many peerless experts were hidden in the vast and mysterious Dragon Nation. Even his teacher, Dark Emperor Summerfield, had once admitted that the Four Emperors were not truly invincible. There were experts even stronger than them who were hiding in the shadows … If one had to say which place was most likely, the mysterious Dragon Nation of the East was the most likely!
There were many secret realms on Earth that had yet to be developed, and there were some in Europe as well. However, of the eight secret realms recognized by the entire Earth, three of them were located in the Long Province … These three secret realms were the Savage Secret Realm, Kunlun Secret Realm, and Penglai Secret Realm. They were ranked first, third, and sixth.
Comparatively speaking, Europe was much weaker. The Odin Secret Realm in Northern Europe and the Olympus Secret Realm in Ancient Greece in the Mediterranean Sea … The former was ranked eighth, and was a secret realm that had completely declined. The latter was ranked fourth, but strictly speaking, it wasn't completely in Europe.
The Holy See was very powerful, but the Holy Mountain Secret Realm, which belonged to the origin of the Holy See, was ranked fifth. However, it had been closed for countless years, and the location of the Secret Realm was in the hands of a certain sect of the Holy See … However, this sect was completely different from the Holy See.
This was also why the various forces in the Western World never lacked supreme powerhouses, but they never had the strongest powerhouse … Their foundation was strong, but their foundation was lacking.
If his teacher, the Dark Lord Summerfield, hadn't had a fortuitous encounter, he might not have been able to reach the level of the "Four Emperors" …
Qin Fang was young, only around 20 years old, but his cultivation was already at the Supreme-Being level … Such talent could no longer be described as simply 'genius' or 'monstrous', he was completely abnormal.
And the master and sect that could produce such a freakish expert was definitely not simple …
What was even more frightening was that such a young man's future achievements would definitely be limitless. In fact, Bilbados also consciously wanted to form a good relationship with Qin Fang. This way, when Qin Fang truly grew up in the future, having such a relationship would be extremely beneficial to him.
His teacher, the Dark Lord Summerfield, was still alive, so he could naturally control the Gathering of Darkness and ensure his safety. However, if any "accident" happened to him, then the entire Gathering of Darkness would fall into chaos, and it would be a big problem for Bilbados to keep his life.
The Dark Parliament's influence was not as strong as the Church's, but the number of experts in the Sovereign realm was not much lower than the Church's. There were quite a few experts in the Middle Stage of the Sovereign realm like Bilbados, and they were all much stronger than him.
For example, the Swift Family that Qin Fang had mentioned …
The family head, Old William, and Swift, had reached the late stage of the supreme level. Little William and Swift had also reached the early stage of the supreme level, and they would be able to advance to the intermediate stage of the supreme level in a few years' time.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take away such a treasure from the Swift Family …"
With such a problem in mind, Bilbados left the manor that Qin Fang was hiding in. In the next few days, he would have to spend a lot of effort on this matter. Who asked Qin Fang to hold onto this?
"Gathering of Darkness … Hahaha … As long as you can bring it to me, it's not impossible for us to work together!"
Bilbados had left, but Qin Fang was still there, smiling as he muttered to himself.
The reason why he did not tell Bilbados was because he did not want him to be greedy.
In this world, there were probably no more than three people who knew what was inside the brocade box. And among these three people, Qin Fang was one of them … The remaining two also had very close relations with Qin Fang.
"How can the supreme technique of the Mount Shu Sword Sect be covered in dust like this?"
Qin Fang muttered to himself.
If these words were heard by other sword cultivators, these people would definitely attack the Swift Family ferociously. Even if the Swift Family had many experts, they would not be able to stop their ambitions.
That's right, the brocade box that the Swift Family possessed contained the Mount Shu Sword Manipulation Technique that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Long Province. Later on, due to some reason, it was disbanded and fell apart.
Back then, when the Mount Shu Sword Sect fell apart and completely declined, the disciples divided up many of the sect's treasures and secret techniques. Only the supreme technique of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect, remained unknown …
For hundreds of years, countless experts had been searching for this lost supreme technique. It was so tempting that they even dug up the tomb of a certain sect leader of Mount Shu. Countless people had died, but they still could not find it.
However, Qin Fang found out from a certain channel that this supreme technique had already been secretly sent away before Mount Shu fell apart. Then, it passed through the hands of many people for many years, and finally landed in the palace.
It was all the way until a hundred years ago, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, that this supreme technique was taken away by the ancestors of the Swift Family …
Currently, only a few people in the Xu Family knew of this secret …
One of them was Qin Fang's woman, Xu Jiao, and the other was the current head of the Xu Family, Elder Xu … The Xu Family could be considered a branch of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, but in reality, someone from the Xu Family had once served as the manager of the palace treasury. He had once seen the corresponding list, and only then did he know the whereabouts of the Mount Shu Sword Manipulation Technique.
Unfortunately, before this Xu Family expert could steal this secret technique from the palace treasury, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded and knocked open the palace treasury, taking away this secret technique of the Mount Shu Sword Manipulation Technique …
However, the brocade box that the Mount Shu Sword Manipulation Technique was stored in was forged from the extremely rare Ice Mysterious Iron … This was an extremely hard meteorite from outer space, almost indestructible and simply impossible to destroy.
Moreover, this brocade box was even set up by a mechanism expert with the most powerful Nine Heavens Star Mechanism Lock. If one didn't know the method to open it, one simply couldn't hope to open this brocade box unless one was a top-notch mechanism expert.
Using modern methods to forcefully crack it, there was only one result, and that was to be forcefully killed by the offensive formation attached to the mechanism lock … Even the brocade box was equipped with a self-destruction mechanism that would automatically destroy the secret technique of the Mount Shu Sword Manipulation Technique inside!
It was precisely because of this that Qin Fang could be sure that even though the Swift Family had obtained this brocade box, it was absolutely impossible for them to open it … As long as it hadn't been completely destroyed, Qin Fang still had hope of taking it back.
The brocade box had fallen into the hands of the Swift Family a hundred years ago. At that time, technology was far less developed than it was now, and it was believed that they had long since given up on opening this brocade box. It had even been abandoned in the Swift Family's treasury to eat dust for a hundred years.
Qin Fang's sudden request to obtain this brocade box would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Swift Family. However, this was the difficult problem that Bilbados had to deal with … If he couldn't obtain this brocade box, then he couldn't hope to cooperate with Qin Fang.
Even though Qin Fang didn't know what Bilbados was fighting for, he could be sure that this cooperation to ambush the Vatican would definitely benefit Bilbados greatly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown such a strong reaction when Qin Fang said that the initiative to split the profits would be given to Bilbados.
Qin Fang actually didn't place too much importance on these kinds of profits.
The things that the Gathering of Darkness wanted were definitely not simple. However, compared to the ultimate technique of the Mount Shu Sword Sect … unless the Vatican used a legendary divine item, otherwise Qin Fang wouldn't even be interested in it.
He had even forcefully destroyed the God-Slaying Spear, and the other three divine items were just so-so.
Of course, if the Vatican really used three divine items this time, Qin Fang wouldn't mind snatching them … The Holy Blood contained within the divine items was still extremely attractive to Qin Fang.
However, from Bilbados' reaction, the possibility of it being these three divine items wasn't particularly high … Qin Fang pondered and instead felt that the Vatican might have used a secret treasure that belonged to the Gathering of Darkness!
