"Your Earth is an interesting planet, rich in resources and rich in spiritual qi. But the funny thing is, such a resource-rich planet is ruled by puny humans."
"What a waste." Ao Zhen shrugged.
"As the first commander of the advance corps of the Alliance of Races, I don't want to see Earth destroyed by the flames of war. That's why I want to work with you. You are the strongest human on Earth, and you have the ability to do whatever you want."
"You are in the light and I am in the dark. Agree and I will order the races to withdraw. But all I want is riches.
"Gold, jewels, ores, spiritual qi, I want them all. But I won't take it all. I will take it slow.
"As long as you agree, I will guarantee that Earth will never be invaded again. What do you think?"
Ao Zhen laughed at Li Mo.
"I think you're a fool."
"What do you mean?"
Li Mo said, "Nothing much. Ao Zhen, I believe you're not valued in the clan, right?"
Ao Zhen's bird face changed.
Li Mo was right. Ao Zhen might be the third crown prince, but he wasn't important in the Nine Head Clan. Only the crown prince and the second princess with royal blood were of importance to the Nine Head Clan.
Ao Zhen had always been a fringe figure in the Nine Head Race.
"You think they made you the commander of the races for you to wield power?
You think you can make the races listen to you? "
"What are you thinking?"
"You're just cannon fodder. You can lead the races to invade, but you don't have the power to make them retreat."
"Nonsense!"
Ao Zhen stood up in anger.
"Do I need you to tell me how much power I have as the first commander?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the leader behind you and see if I'm right."
"He-he, you want to trick me into withdrawing?"
"Whether you withdraw or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not afraid to tell you that I never cared about your race alliance."
"Ha-ha-ha, you're crazy."
"I'm just speaking the truth."
"Alright, I'll give you an order right in front of your face. Watch carefully!"
Ao Zhen took out a piece of jade and poured a strand of Spiritual Qi into it. The jade immediately flickered.
This was a technological product created by the Nine Head Clan. It had the same function as a mobile phone, just that it was more practical and more powerful.
"I've already made the strongest person on Earth surrender. He's now completely obedient to my orders, so I don't think there's any need to attack Earth. I'm preparing to retreat."
"You're just the vanguard, not the highest commander. Ao Zhen, you can only command your Nine Head Tribe and its subordinates. Do you understand me?"
A cold voice came from the jade.
Li Mo's eyes narrowed.
He was very familiar with this voice.
"What do you mean?
That's not what you said when you asked me to lead the army! "
"As for what I said, you can go and ask that old lion of yours. Ao Zhen, I will tell you clearly that the order to attack the earth will never be changed. Our goal is to destroy the earth, not to make them surrender. Do you understand me?"
"If you can't do it, I'll send someone else to replace you!"
The glow on the jade stone disappeared.
The arrogant bird's face was rather unsightly.
Li Mo sneered.
'How can such a big alliance withdraw with just a word from Ao Zhen?'
'This fool thinks he can order the allied army as he pleases after becoming the vanguard's commander. He can't be any more stupid.'
Li Mo said, "What right do you have to bargain with me?"
Ao Zhen cursed, "Damn it, is there something wrong with the higher-ups' brains?
There's no need to attack Earth, yet they still want to destroy it! "
"You were talking to Celestial Venerable Huo, weren't you?"
Ao Zhen was shocked, "H-how did you know?"
Li Mo sneered, "I remember his voice."
Celestial Venerable Huo was a member of one of the ten strongest races in the universe, the Fire God race. Huo Ling 'er, the one Li Mo tortured in the True Spirit Battlefield, was his niece.
Celestial Venerable wasn't a name, but a title. Just like how an eighth level was known as a mighty figure, the ninth level was a sage, and the tenth level was Celestial Venerable.
The past Celestial Venerable Huo hunted Li Mo for hundreds of years to get the Staff of Origin. If not for Li Mo's many escape methods, he would've died by his hand. It wasn't until Li Mo met his close friend, the Earth Fire race's young master, and learned the Fire Manipulation Art that Celestial Venerable Huo gave up and returned to Divine Fire Planet.
If not for the Path of Immortality opening, Li Mo would've killed his way to Divine Fire Planet and exterminated the Fire God race.
"Ao Zhen, you still have the right to bargain with me."
Li Mo said, "Tell me who's behind the allied army and I'll spare your life."
"Spare my life?"
"Ha-ha-ha …" Ao Zhen laughed, his nine bird heads swaying back and forth.
"I, Ao Zhen, may not be as strong as big brother and sister, but in the entire Nine Origins Planet, only a select few can stand up to me.
"Li Mo, I want to work with you, not because of you, but because of Alien Beast Galaxy's Douglas!"
Ao Zhen glanced at the cub. From the start, Ao Zhen was wary of Li Mo, not the cub.
The Alien Beast Galaxy was unreasonable. If you provoked them, no matter how far, no matter how far, they wouldn't stop until you were dead.
If not for the black tiger's paw, Ao Zhen would've killed Li Mo already.
"Where do you humans rank among the universe's races?
He-he, from what I've seen, the number of humans who can reach the sixth level is few and far between.
"Weak power, short life. You're only a little stronger than a snowman, no?
"Cut the bullshit!"
"You mean you don't want to tell me who's behind this?"
Ao Zhen sneered, "If you want me to speak, bring out your strength!"
"Alien Beast Galaxy's Douglas, you need to know that this human provoked me, not the other way around!"
"It's none of my business."
The black tiger cursed and snuggled into Ye Xiaolu's bosom, enjoying the 'softness'.
"Alright." Ao Zhen relaxed. He didn't want to mess with Alien Beast Galaxy's Douglas.
As for Li Mo, Ao Zhen sneered and flew into the sky.
"Let's fight in the sky!"
His luxurious chariot and expensive goods were all on the ground. He didn't want them ruined.
Li Mo flew.
Ao Zhen's nine bird heads swayed and spat out nine beams of light.
Tu ~
Nine beams slammed into Li Mo, throwing him ten meters back.
"Ha-ha-ha, puny human, you're asking for it. Don't blame me!"
