894: Deal Done

“The Dead Spirit Race won’t directly attack!”

Upon hearing Qing Yunzi’s words, Wang Chen’s face showed a hint of disappointment.

He had thought he would face a relentless pursuit from the Dead Spirit Race, with a large amount of experience points delivered to his doorstep every night.

But in the end, that’s it?

“It seems I still have to take the initiative. Waiting for them to come to me will be a futile endeavor.”

Thinking this helplessly, Wang Chen became somewhat dispirited.

“…”

Across from him, a hint of surprise flashed in Qing Yunzi’s eyes.

Wang Chen’s reaction was not what he had imagined. The Dead Spirit Race is secretly arranging people to intercept and kill him, so why is he disappointed? Doesn’t he worry about his own safety?

Qing Yunzi had no idea that Wang Chen was simply too eager to improve at the moment.

Experience monsters delivered to his doorstep were his favorite; he had no interest in personally dealing with anything else.

However…

At this point, Wang Chen had already made a decision regarding the trade proposed by Qing Yunzi.

“Senior Qing Yunzi, I can agree to this trade and eliminate Vast Treasure True Lord for you.”

“However, isn’t this trade a bit unequal?”

Looking at Qing Yunzi, Wang Chen said with a smile in his eyes:

“If it’s just to resolve the misunderstanding between us, this trade is fine. But now, the enemies I’ll encounter are clearly not just Vast Treasure True Lord. Senior, what you want to do is likely use me as bait to draw out the forces within the Human Race that have sided with the Dead Spirit Race.”

“The risk I’m taking is simply too great!”

At the end of his statement, Wang Chen spread his hands.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yunzi nodded in approval.

“Indeed.”

If Wang Chen agreed to the trade, he would have to leave Wanshou City and enter the wilderness, giving those hidden figures an opportunity. The risk was indeed very high.

Without the trade, Wang Chen could simply stay in Wanshou City. The Dead Spirit Race and those Human Race traitors who sided with them wouldn't dare to act in Wanshou City, even if they had a hundred guts.

After some thought, Qing Yunzi said:

“Vast Treasure True Lord is definitely not the only one among the Human Race cooperating with the Dead Spirit Race. You will encounter many enemies next.”

“If you are worried it’s too dangerous, you can refuse this trade, and I will not pursue the previous misunderstanding.”

“No, no, no…”

Wang Chen shook his head and, seeing that Qing Yunzi had misunderstood, quickly said:

“Senior, you’ve misunderstood. Junior is not trying to refuse; it’s just that the risk is too great. Don’t you think it should be…”

“You mean you want some extra benefits?”

Qing Yunzi looked at Wang Chen in surprise, feeling somewhat astonished.

He truly hadn't expected Wang Chen to make such a request.

However, he had no reason to refuse. Seeing Wang Chen nod, he calmly said:

“Alright, this matter will indeed put you in a very dangerous situation. You can make any request you want, and I believe I can satisfy them all.”

Although Qing Yunzi’s tone was calm, it was filled with a complete sense of magnanimity.

However, this was also normal. Xuantian Holy Land, as the head of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds of the Netherworld Human Clan, had stood for thousands of years without falling. The wealth it had accumulated was unimaginable to the world, and Qing Yunzi was fully qualified to say such a thing.

“Thank you, Senior. Junior’s request is very simple. I hope that after you regain control of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, you can help Junior collect various beast pet younglings. Of course, Junior will not let Senior help for free; all expenses will be borne by Junior.”

Wang Chen was overjoyed to hear this and quickly said politely.

After arriving in Wanshou City, he immediately made the handover with Bai Yuliang, but unfortunately, none of the beast pet younglings Bai Yuliang had collected during this period were satisfactory. The beast pet youngling with the highest potential barely reached the Divine Beast level, and it was at the bottom of the Divine Beasts.

However, these beast pet younglings were already found by Bai Yuliang with great effort. It was foreseeable that in the future, the number of different beast pet younglings Bai Yuliang could collect would be even less.

Of course, this was understandable. Bai Yuliang was only a Saint of Xuantian Holy Land, and his influence was basically limited to the Xuantian Holy Land’s sphere of influence.

But now, Qing Yunzi wanted to regain control of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, which made Wang Chen see an opportunity.

The trade routes of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce spanned the entire Netherworld, and the power it could mobilize was far beyond what Bai Yuliang could achieve. The speed of collecting beast pet younglings would definitely be faster.

Previously, Wang Chen had not entrusted the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce because he was too close to Bai Yuliang and worried that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would not do things diligently. But once his trade with Qing Yunzi was completed, he would no longer have to worry about this.

“Oh?”

Qing Yunzi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Wang Chen to make such a simple request. He had thought Wang Chen would ask for a lot.

Moreover, Qing Yunzi was prepared to agree to whatever Wang Chen asked for, whether it was top-tier defensive treasures or precious Heaven And Earth Treasure.

After all, killing Vast Treasure True Lord and drawing out those Human Race traitors who cooperated with the Dead Spirit Race would be extremely beneficial to Xuantian Holy Land and the Human Race.

Furthermore, Wang Chen, at such a young age, was able to single-handedly destroy a city-level gathering place of the Dead Spirit Race. The strength he displayed also had the value of investment and building good relations.

Moreover, the reason Qing Yunzi sought out Wang Chen was precisely because of Wang Chen’s identity as an outsider, someone not entangled with various forces in the Netherworld. As long as a good cooperative relationship was established, he would be trustworthy.

“Is that your only request?”

Qing Yunzi looked at Wang Chen with approval and said very generously:

“You can make some other requests. Whether it’s top-tier treasures or rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, I can satisfy your demands.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but beast pet younglings are what I need most. If Senior can help me collect suitable beast pet younglings, then to me, it is more valuable than any top-tier treasure or Heaven And Earth Treasure.”

Wang Chen shook his head and said politely.

“Is that so?”

Qing Yunzi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He recalled the scene he had witnessed outside Blade City that day, as well as the information reported by Bai Yuliang.

“Only beast pets, it seems he is following a path similar to the Beast Taming Sect from the ancient times of my Netherworld.”

Thinking to himself, Qing Yunzi waved his hand and pushed the box containing the Enlightenment Tea back towards Wang Chen:

“Then our trade is concluded. Please accept this meeting gift as well. The expenses for collecting beast pet younglings will also be borne by this old man.”

“I will not disturb you two young people any further. We will meet very soon at Xuantian Holy Land.”

As he spoke, Qing Yunzi did not allow Wang Chen to refuse. A slight magical fluctuation appeared, and the wisp of Divided Soul he had attached to Bai Yuliang immediately fell silent.

The next second, the golden-red light in Bai Yuliang’s eyes dissipated, and his consciousness regained control of his body.

However, his eyes were somewhat dazed at this moment, seemingly completely unaware of everything that had just happened, of Qing Yunzi’s arrival.

“Senior, I am truly sorry. I was a bit distracted just now.”

Facing Wang Chen’s strange gaze, Bai Yuliang was a little embarrassed.
