Hearing Guhan's explanation, Jiufeng's face turned red. She had never thought that she would be the one who led the wolf into the house.
She had been too careless, relying on the excellent shielding ability of the underground palace.
If she had checked Yaoguang's medical chamber properly before she returned, then Guhan would never have found such a secret underground palace. Now, even Zu Wu's blood essence had been taken away by Guhan.
"Wait!
You arrived at the Guardian's Mansion in Baihu later. You have never touched this medical chamber. Did you already know that I would take this medical chamber away? "Jiufeng was not stupid. She immediately realized what was going on.
"You've finally found out!"
Guhan smiled. "That's right. Actually, I had already put the Past Water Sword in the medical chamber last night."
"So, you deliberately let me find the medical chamber. Could it be that the person has already been exposed?" Jiufeng was shocked.
"If you're talking about Ye Fan, then he has already been locked in the safe underground prison. What awaits him is the severe punishment of the human beings. You have no more spies among the human beings!" Guhan said.
"So, you've already found out that Ye Fan is a spy. I can't believe that the entire Wu people have been tricked by you!"
Jiufeng spat out a mouthful of blood. This was not "almost spitting out blood" like before, but a real mouthful of blood.
A large amount of pitch-black blood gushed out of Jiufeng's mouth like a fountain. This Senior Sorcerer had actually spat out dozens of kilograms of blood because of Guhan's anger.
However, Jiufeng did not know that Guhan had only confirmed that Ye Fan was a spy after she had left. After all, Guhan did not have any conclusive evidence. He had only been suspicious of Ye Fan at the beginning, so he had sent someone to keep an eye on Ye Fan. In the end, he found out that Ye Fan had gone to Baihu's Mansion in the middle of the night to ask about Yaoguang.
Then, he had hidden the Past Water Sword in Yaoguang's medical chamber. Unexpectedly, he had found the most secret place of the Wu people.
"Suck!"
Jiufeng took a deep breath and then said to Guhan, "If you give me back Zu Wu's blood essence, I promise you on behalf of the Wu people that you will stay in your own territory for ten years and will never hurt any human. You should know the credibility of the Wu people."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Guhan said disdainfully, "As long as I destroy this drop of Zu Wu's blood essence, the Wu people will lose a Senior Sorcerer forever. This is not something that can be replaced by ten years.
If I let the Wu people rest peacefully for ten years, won't we humans face a super strong wave of attack after ten years? "
"Then twenty years it is!"
Jiufeng immediately doubled the number of years and added, "In these twenty years, the population of the Wu people will not exceed one hundred thousand. If you are worried, you can send messengers to check the number of the Wu people freely among the tribes."
"No way …" Guhan said dryly.
"Fifty years!"
Jiufeng gritted her teeth and said, "In these fifty years, the population of the Wu people will be limited to fifty thousand people. Furthermore, after the fifty years are over, you will be given another ten years to prepare. During this preparation period, the Wu people will not attack the human race's defense line. Both sides can only fight in the Wu people's territory."
Jiufeng saw that Guhan was still unmoved after saying that and said angrily, "This drop of Zu Wu's blood essence belongs to the Xuanming Tribe. As long as I, Jiufeng, do not die, the Wu people will still have twelve Senior Sorcerers. Even if you destroy this drop of Zu Wu's blood essence, the strength of the Wu people will not decline."
"Look at what you are saying. If I kill you, won't the Wu people never have a Senior Sorcerer, Jiufeng?
Who knows, the entire Xuanming Tribe might even be wiped out. "
"Then what do you want?" Jiufeng was instantly anxious. The Wu people really could not lack any drop of Zu Wu's blood essence.
If Jiufeng had not known that even ten of her would not be a match for Guhan, Jiufeng would not have negotiated with Guhan. She would have just taken it by force.
"Hand over Liunian Ling and guarantee that the Wu people will not attack the Shanhai Pass defense line for the next 100 years. At the same time, the total number of Wu people will be suppressed to less than ten thousand. Then, I will return this drop of Zu Wu's blood essence to you!
At the same time, remove all the shielding blood arrays in your territory and let the human race install a surveillance system without any blind spots. This way, I can ensure that the Wu people will not pose a threat to the human race, "Guhan said in a low voice.
"That's impossible!"
Nine Phoenix let out a strange cry. "It's fine if it's 100 years, but if our Magi population is only 10,000, wouldn't we be at your mercy?
Furthermore, wouldn't we be completely exposed to the eyes of the human race if we were to install surveillance systems in our territory? Wouldn't it be easy for the human race to exterminate all the Wu people? "
"With the twelve Senior Sorcerers like you around, how can the Wu people be exterminated so easily?
Furthermore, even if the Wu people are really exterminated, can't you still rely on Zu Wu's blood essence to be reborn? "
Guhan persuaded gently. "I know that this request is a little hard for you to accept. Actually, if the Wu people reduce the number of people in the Shanhai Pass, the human race will also reduce the number of troops in the Shanhai Pass.
The world outside the Shanhai Pass is too dangerous and lacks sword-bearers. If we can transfer half of the sword-bearers in the Shanhai Pass, the threat that the Wu people face will be reduced by half. The Wu people will still be relatively safe. "
"As for the surveillance system, it's just to ensure that you will fulfill your promise.
The surveillance system itself does not have any lethality. As long as you abide by your promise, the surveillance system will not exist.
Anyway, the human race is not interested in watching the Wu people mate, "Guhan said in a cheap way.
"What nonsense are you spouting, b * stard?
The Wu people never do such dirty things, "Jiufeng said angrily when she heard Guhan mention the word mating.
"Yes, yes, yes!
The Wu people reproduce asexually, not sexually. I almost forgot about this! "Guhan's words almost made Jiufeng vomit blood again.
"Fine, I've told you my request. If you don't agree, I'll kill you right now and destroy this drop of Ancestral Witch's Blood Essence. This way, I'll be able to gain something."
After Guhan said that, the Past Water Sword in his hand began to emit sword Qi. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Jiufeng.
Although Jiufeng did not care about her own life and death, she was very concerned about the Zu Wu's blood essence. When she saw that Guhan was about to make a move, she immediately said, "I promise you, I promise you everything you said. Return the Zu Wu's blood essence to me now, and I will agree to all your requests."
"There's no proof. Of course, I can't return it to you now. Return Liunian Ling to me first, and then follow me to the Taiyin Garrison to discuss the details. When the Wu people's population is reduced to only 10,000 people and all the surveillance systems are installed, I will naturally return the Zu Wu's blood essence to you," Guhan said.
"In that case, wouldn't I, Jiufeng, become a complete fool?"
Of course, Jiufeng would not listen to Guhan's words. Of course, Guhan did not think that Jiufeng would be so stupid.
The excessive request was just to pave the way for the following words.
"Then let's each take a step back. You return Liunian Ling to me, and I will return the Zu Wu's blood essence to you!
Three days later, you will organize a delegation of the Wu people, and we will discuss the details in the Taiyin Garrison. How about that? "Guhan finally put forward a more reliable suggestion.
"That's it then!" After saying that, Jiufeng disappeared into the depths of the underground palace. It seemed that she had gone to find Liunian Ling.
Nurhachi watched the whole transaction in confusion. After Jiufeng disappeared, Nurhachi walked to Guhan. "I seem to have witnessed a shameful transaction!"
"Why do you use the words' shameful '?"
Guhan looked at Nurhachi with interest and asked, "My transaction is aboveboard, and I have to report it to the Human Sword Commission to establish a file. Why is it shameful?"
"Because you don't want to return the Zu Wu's blood essence to that phoenix!"
Nurhachi still called Jiufeng a phoenix. "You are lying to that stupid bird. You don't want to focus on completing the transaction at all."
"How did you know?" Guhan was surprised. He did not expect that Nurhachi could see through his mind.
"What's so strange about it?
I am the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. I have experienced no less than a hundred battles in my life, and I am used to all kinds of deception. Your deceit is all my leftover tricks. "
Nurhachi said proudly, "I tricked the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty into signing three contracts with me, and also tricked the stupid emperor into killing Xiong Tingbi, a very tricky guy. In the end, even the last bit of Qi Jiguang's family was killed by me in the Battle of Sa Erhu. My deceit is not a person, but the whole world.
Your little trick is just child's play in front of me. How can I not see through it? "
"Hmm."
Guhan did not speak. Although this Nurhachi was Yuan Kou, he was after all the founding emperor of a generation. His vision and knowledge were really extraordinary, and he did see through Guhan's true intentions.
But while he was thinking, Jiufeng's figure appeared in the underground palace again. This time, Jiufeng's claws were holding a girl who was sleeping with her eyes closed. It was Liunian Ling who had been taken away for ten days.
"It's Ling!"
Guhan only took one look at Liunian Ling, and he was sure that this Liunian Ling was not a fake, but the real Liunian Ling.
Thank the heavens, Gu Han could finally put down the huge stone in his heart.
