"Clang."
Qinchuan sat in a small wooden cage and watched calmly as the other party tied up the door of the cage with vines. It was as though he wasn't a captive, but a spectator.
One day went by and Qin Chuan's surroundings were so quiet that it was as though not a single sound could be heard. Not even the sound of the wind could be heard. However, Qin Chuan did not mind it. He simply sat calmly within the cage and cultivated. It was as though he was in seclusion.
Qinchuan knew very well that there must be someone watching his every move in the dark. The more anxious and flustered he was, the less likely the other party would want to see him. On the contrary, the more stable and calm he appeared, the higher the possibility of the other party seeing him!
On the third day, Qinchuan finally received his first visitor. However, this visitor had no intention of communicating with him. He only untied the vines and dragged Qinchuan out of the cage. He then violently brought Qinchuan to a spacious hall.
There weren't many people in the hall. Other than Guda, there were a few people who stood beside Guda that day. They looked at Qinchuan curiously.
They were curiously sizing up Qinchuan. Qinchuan was also sizing them up. After a while, Qinchuan took the initiative to break the silence in the hall.
"Hello, friends from the resistance army. I'm Qinchuan."
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Guda snorted and said to Qinchuan, "Humanoid, you told me that you wanted to cooperate with us?"
Qinchuan nodded and said to Guda, "That's right. I do want to cooperate with you. I …"
"Hmph, nonsense!
Do you think I'll believe your words?! "
Before Qinchuan could finish, he was rudely interrupted. Guda stared sharply at Qinchuan and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I don't know that you're lying to me because you want to live?!"
Upon hearing Guda's words, Qinchuan didn't give any explanation. He simply replied, "I swear to the heavens that I sincerely want to cooperate with the resistance army of Sunflower Planet. If what I said is false, let my soul be destroyed immediately!"
Guda didn't expect Qinchuan to swear so straightforwardly. He looked at Qinchuan in surprise and asked, "Do you really want to cooperate with us?"
Seeing the change in Guda's attitude, Qinchuan laughed and said, "It seems that no matter where you are in the universe, swearing is always the best way to gain trust."
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Guda stared deeply at Qinchuan and replied, "No cultivator would swear so casually unless they don't want to live anymore. Since you're still alive, it means that you're telling the truth."
For cultivators, swearing was absolutely not something that could be done casually. Once an oath was made, it had to be kept. If it was broken, the punishment of the oath would definitely come true. For thousands of years, no one had been able to escape the punishment, not even the overlords of the universe. Therefore, this was why Qinchuan swore without any explanation. It was because this was the best explanation.
"So can I sit down and talk now?"
Qinchuan looked at Guda. "I sincerely want to help you. Of course, I also have some selfish motives. This is the truth, and I have to be honest with you."
Qinchuan's attitude had won Qinchuan's trust and favor. Therefore, someone quickly arranged a seat for Qinchuan. Qinchuan's seat was very high, so he could sit down and look at Guda at the same level. Qinchuan liked this feeling very much.
"I can feel your sincerity, so we can talk about other things now. For example, what do you plan to do?" Guda looked at Qinchuan. "What can we gain from this cooperation?"
Since they were going to cooperate, Guda naturally had to understand the purpose of Qinchuan's cooperation with them and what benefits they could gain. As a leader, he had to be responsible for the people behind him.
After hearing Guda's words, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Guda, "I want to know, if Sunflower Dao, the god you believe in, loses its current power one day, will you still believe in it?"
After hearing Qinchuan's question, Guda answered without hesitation, "Of course, we will always be God's people!
However, you are wrong about one thing. God's name is not Sunflower Dao. That is the name you outsiders gave God. God's name is God Sunflower. "
Qinchuan looked at Guda meaningfully and said in an extremely serious tone, "Okay, no matter what God's name is, I have a way now. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, there is a great chance that I can help you return to God Sunflower's side."
…
Ground camp.
After learning that Sunflower Planet's resistance army had captured many captives, Hai Feng was furious. He turned around and wanted to kill the captives he had just captured to vent his anger. Fortunately, the representative of the Heavenly Federation, Hart, stopped him.
"Mister Hai Da, don't be impulsive. The enemy must have captured our people because they want to exchange captives with us. If you kill these captives, our people will also be killed." Hart said to Hai Feng, "This won't do us any good!"
"Exchange captives?"
Hai Feng was furious, "Even if those captives are all dead, I won't agree to exchange captives with those aboriginals!"
After hearing Hai Feng's words, Hart's expression immediately changed. He quickly said to Hai Feng, "Mister Hai Da, look around and be careful with your words!"
After hearing Hart's advice, Hai Feng subconsciously looked around. When he saw the dissatisfied gazes looking at him, he immediately calmed down. Among the captives, there was no lack of Symbol Array Masters who had already surrendered to them. The words he had just said clearly showed that he didn't care about the lives of these captives. He still treated them as outsiders and didn't care about them. It would be strange if these Symbol Array Masters' expressions were good in the face of his attitude.
"Outside, you represent the Great Metropolis!"
Hart transmitted his voice to Hai Feng, "If the Great Metropolis hears what you just said, do you know the consequences?"
At this moment, Hai Feng had already calmed down. He also thought about the consequences of his words being spread. His expression immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I was too agitated just now. I was momentarily blinded by anger and said those irrational words. I will definitely actively communicate with the aboriginals of Sunflower Planet and discuss the matter of exchanging captives!"
Everyone saw that Hai Feng had changed his attitude. He had already verbally admitted his mistake and admitted defeat. Their gazes towards Hai Feng also became normal. However, if Hai Feng were to say one thing and do another, then they wouldn't be so good-tempered!
