"Star Dou Great Forest has such power?" This question immediately entered the minds of everyone present.
A Demon Eye Magic Tree with 450,000 years of cultivation was already terrifying.
A Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear with 400,000 years of cultivation? That was a terrifying species that could contend with ordinary 10,000-Year Spirit Beasts even at the 1,000-year level.
A species like that, possessing 400,000 years of cultivation, had power beyond imagination.
Not to mention there were even stronger Spirit Beasts secretly lurking?
They weren't sure if the Demon Eye Magic Tree's words were half-truths; Bi Ji's intention not to participate in the battle and her lack of combat prowess were completely omitted.
But even so, it was enough to awe everyone present.
"School Master Ning, what do you think we should do now?"
The people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School exchanged glances, digesting the newly acquired information. Yu Yuanzhen, after giving them some time, was the first to speak.
He looked as if he was leaving the decision to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
In reality, he was also wary of the Spirit Beasts.
Without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's cooperation, he wouldn't be able to cooperate with the Spirit Beasts alone.
It wouldn't be so easy to trap Blue Silver City then.
"To express our apologies, no matter what benefits there are, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will choose first, and we can also concede a step in terms of distribution. This is an apology for this rebellious son." This offer was not immediately rejected. Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have discerned their attitude.
He then continued to speak.
Under normal circumstances, if Ning Fengzhi was truly interested, he would accept the offer decisively.
Even Yu Xiaogang, kneeling on the ground nearby, pricked up his ears, hoping to hear the answer he desired.
It was just a pity... "This matter is too important; I still need to consider it."
"I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Ning Fengzhi was an old fox. He quickly glanced at the situation, not intending to gamble directly. His fingers subtly rubbed together, but he still restrained himself.
Although he was indeed tempted, cooperating with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was a strong alliance. The Spirits of the two Sects would combine to unleash power greater than 1+1.
Not to mention they would choose the benefits first. The 100,000-Year Spirit Bones recently displayed by Blue Silver City were very enticing.
If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could each get one, it would help them break through their bottlenecks and greatly increase their strength.
This was definitely a good thing.
However, considering Lan Tian's situation, the risk of such a gamble was too great.
And these Spirit Beasts, conspiring with a tiger, Lan Tian was a dangerous existence, and these Spirit Beasts were also very dangerous existences.
Especially the intelligence displayed by the Demon Eye Magic Tree, still scheming something. In his opinion, a beast is a beast; the other party was even more dangerous and untrustworthy than Blue Silver City, or even Spirit Hall.
"This..."
Not getting a response, Yu Yuanzhen was not satisfied.
Even if the other party had directly refused, he would have had something to say.
What was this dragging on?
"Sect Master Yu, today's news was indeed a bit unexpected for us."
"You are also aware of Blue Silver City's current situation. I'm sure Spirit Hall will act soon."
"So for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the threat from Blue Silver City isn't as great as imagined. In fact, it's possible that we are the ones who should cooperate, and there's no need to take such a big risk. Therefore, this matter requires consideration."
"Let's leave it at that for now. I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Ning Fengzhi showed a troubled, contemplative expression.
He had already stood up while speaking, clearly not intending to continue the discussion.
"And Myriad Demon King Your Excellency, once I leave, I will temporarily forget what happened here. If you have other plans, you can temporarily pretend we don't exist."
"Farewell."
He indicated that he would not leak the secret and was already walking outside.
He also wanted to see what these Spirit Beasts were truly capable of.
Were they really that terrifying? If so, then Spirit Hall would bear the brunt of it if the sky fell.
As a supportive force, if such a major conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts truly arose, their value would be immense. He could even bide his time and name his price, so there was nothing to worry about.
Neither Yu Yuanzhen nor Myriad Demon King was very satisfied with this attitude.
But seeing Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo slowly retreating behind Ning Fengzhi, they did nothing.
"Then we await School Master Ning's news."
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will advance and retreat with School Master Ning."
Yu Yuanzhen quickly adjusted his state and responded.
The Demon Eye Magic Tree, however, looked at the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with dark eyes, as if contemplating something.
"If the news of this conversation gets out, I believe they will quickly make a choice."
After the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disappeared, the Demon Eye Magic Tree looked at Yu Yuanzhen. He also saw that the other party would not cooperate with them alone.
He immediately offered advice to the other party.
"Heh, you have so many ideas. I truly wonder if you are a Spirit Beast or a human."
"With such a tactic, aren't you afraid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will directly betray you and defect?"
Yu Yuanzhen stared at the Demon Eye Magic Tree, as if trying to see through him.
These guys, every single one of them, were dishonest.
"Although I am a Spirit Beast, I have learned a lot from humans."
"Since there's no immediate outcome, I'll wait for the news, but it won't be long."
"The guys outside can't wait. They'll probably attack the city soon. By then, I hope you'll have an answer."
"The best outcome is to lure them out to hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and then you cooperate to counter-kill them."
"Of course, you can also just hand them over to us."
The Demon Eye Magic Tree tempted, as if the other party only needed to do a small thing to solve a big problem.
If the people of Blue Silver City and the Spirit Beasts could truly be made to fight, they would certainly not suffer any losses.
"You shouldn't wander off for now."
"Wait for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's reply."
Yu Yuanzhen was not tempted by the other party and responded expressionlessly.
He restricted the person to this outpost.
The Demon Eye Magic Tree didn't care about this; he could act without this body if he wanted to.
"Father, a great opportunity to deal with Blue Silver City is right here."
"Give me a chance, I'll go persuade School Master Ning and the others."
"I'll go find Flender, find Ning Rongrong; they will definitely come out."
"At worst..."
After the Demon Eye Magic Tree left the room, Yu Xiaogang seemed to revive and quickly began to speak.
He had already seen the hope of cooperation being achieved and Blue Silver City being dealt with.
However, before he could finish speaking, a huge palm came flying towards him.
Yu Yuanzhen grabbed the other's head with one hand.
This made Yu Xiaogang's face turn a bit red, and he felt a sense of unease, beginning to struggle.
"Xiaogang, I've done my best; don't blame me. Now, just stay put."
"He's yours, second brother."
Unable to make any move, Yu Xiaogang was invaded by a blue spirit power. The next moment, his entire body became paralyzed, unable to move or speak. He trembled uncontrollably, watching helplessly as his second uncle grabbed him.
He also understood his father's meaning: once the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no intention of dealing with Blue Silver City, he and the Demon Eye Magic Tree would be treated as discarded pawns, handed over to Blue Silver City for revenge. His father would completely abandon him, and this made him truly feel fear.
If his father truly abandoned him, he would have no way to survive. Although he wanted to struggle, he was helpless. Not to mention his father, even Yu Luomian alone made it impossible for him to escape.
Hope came quickly, but despair came even faster than he expected.
At this moment, he hated his father, hated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and hated these cowards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he was also helpless. At this point, he could only be at their mercy.
"I won't let him cause trouble."
The two brothers each had their own focus.
Meanwhile, the group from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who had left, were now departing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's outpost.
They were heading towards their own residence, passing by various festive scenes with lanterns and decorations everywhere, walking on the bluestone road.
After Bone Douluo sensed that there were no other prying presences nearby, he looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, what are you thinking?"
"This is indeed an opportunity, and perhaps also an opportunity to understand a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast."
Although he didn't speak aloud, his voice, accompanied by spirit power, entered Ning Fengzhi's ears.
Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi did not speak, maintaining his composure, and continued towards their outpost.
Bone Douluo did not rush him, simply waiting for his reply.
Upon returning to their outpost, Ning Fengzhi sat in the hall, tea prepared. After dismissing the servants, his expression finally changed. He had clearly considered the matter and made a judgment.
A communication crystal quietly emerged from his spirit tool and landed in his palm.
