329: Severing ties, the princess's cooperation

Ye Hongfu shouted angrily.

She was extremely displeased with Demon Spirit Child!

A seductive vixen. She hadn't drawn her sword, entirely because Qin Wushang hadn't spoken.

And cooperate?

Impossible!

"Don't be so quick to refuse! This is beneficial for everyone!"

Demon Spirit Child said.

"Speak."

Qin Wushang's words were brief as he coldly demanded.

"Little brother~ You really are a cold-blooded and heartless guy... I've already said this much, yet you're still so icy."

"I'm truly heartbroken."

As she spoke, Demon Spirit Child quickly retreated.

She put distance between them, landing in front of Ye Xuanye, her smile growing even more pronounced.

"They are indeed people from my Southern Barbarian Demon God Kingdom."

"Give me some Face, how about letting them go?"

Demon Spirit Child spoke, causing the other defending generals to be greatly shocked.

Although this possibility had already been largely verified, hearing it spoken by the Princess of the Demon God Kingdom herself... they were still astounded!

These damned fellows had truly betrayed the Great Chu Empire and defected to the Southern Barbarian Demon God Kingdom.

"Give you Face?"

"Who do you think you are? Give you Face? What kind of thing is your Face anyway?"

Qin Wushang stared straight at Demon Spirit Child, his shocking words making it hard to believe.

Not only did he refuse, but his words were extremely harsh.

"You..."

Demon Spirit Child also hadn't anticipated such words and was so angry she stomped her foot.

She had thought he would refuse, and then they would negotiate again until both sides were satisfied.

Who would have thought Qin Wushang would refuse just like that.

Without any room for discussion, his refusal was so blunt, so resolute.

"Don't you want to hear about our proposal for cooperation? Do you truly have no desire to cooperate at all? Aren't you afraid that by refusing me, you'll miss out on matters related to Immortals?"

Demon Spirit Child spoke, her words astonishing.

Even Ye Hongfu was surprised.

Related to Immortals... that was no ordinary Opportunity. Even a Quasi-Emperor Expert hearing such words would be tempted.

"Are you talking about the matter of Black Cliff Mountain?"

Qin Wushang retorted.

This made Demon Spirit Child freeze for a moment, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared at him silently.

She was so shocked, so incredulous.

He actually knew!

How was this possible?

Apart from their Southern Barbarian Demon God Kingdom, only those few they looked down upon knew about the matter of Black Cliff Mountain. No other beings should know.

How did he find out?

Could it be that the Great Chu Empress's spies had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Demon God Kingdom?

"Do you have people around this Princess?"

She asked, staring intently at Qin Wushang's Supreme Double Pupils.

"Guess."

Qin Wushang said, his tone indifferent.

Through the System's introduction of Opportunities, he was still interested in the Primordial Immortal Bone at Black Cliff Mountain.

"Impossible... Those few are the people this Princess trusts the most, my clan's death warriors. They couldn't possibly betray me..."

"You must have gotten the information from somewhere else! Like... those old ghosts from the Hehuan Sect!"

Demon Spirit Child thought of one possibility!

The old ghosts of the Hehuan Sect, the ones who attacked Qin Wushang, one of them even had his Physical Body shattered.

Perhaps they leaked something!

"I'm curious... what did you give them to make them willingly work for you?"

Qin Wushang said.

"That's none of your business!"

"You only need to know that what your Great Chu couldn't give them, our Demon God Kingdom can, and that's enough."

"By the way... you don't actually think an imperial edict can control them, do you?"

As soon as Demon Spirit Child's words fell, the defending generals of Desolate City standing beside her laughed.

Each of them erupted with extremely powerful auras and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, there's no need to waste words with him. Kill him. The Chu Yuehua can't get here in time."

"By then, we can take control of this entire Desolate City, and even seize the Great Chu's imperial edict. Wouldn't the mountains and rivers of Great Chu be ours to command?"

"This way, we can certainly affect Chu Yuehua's Dao unification, stopping her from forging a new path and stepping into the Emperor Realm."

"And these fence-sitters will be at our mercy."

Ye Xuanye suggested.

Since they had already torn off all pretense, there was no need for him to keep up the disguise.

"Right! Kill him!"

"An ungrateful wretch, truly thinking his bit of talent makes him remarkable! Today we'll let him know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is! Ginger is still spicier when it's old!"

"Hmph! He really thinks holding the imperial edict lets him do as he pleases and bully us!"

"Exactly! Kill him! I heard the Chu Yuehua is quite fond of this guy. Killing him will definitely affect the Chu Yuehua's Dao unification!"

They spoke up, all suggesting to kill Qin Wushang.

Demon Spirit Child smiled.

She said, "See? They say we should kill you. Do you think this Princess should make a move?"

"Go ahead and try."

Hearing this, Qin Wushang remained calm and composed in the Face of such a situation, showing not a trace of panic.

"This Princess is very curious... what kind of backing do you have to be so composed."

"Are you counting on them?"

"Or are you just too arrogant, clinging to Face even when facing certain doom."

Demon Spirit Child asked, surprised.

If they were to fight, it wasn't certain the other defending generals would risk their lives for a junior like Qin Wushang.

Not even holding the imperial edict guaranteed it!

"Oh, right! If you defect to this Princess, I can also sever your connection to the imperial edict for you."

"Although you'll be weak for a period of time, from then on, your lives will be your own to command, no longer needing to heed others' orders."

As soon as Demon Spirit Child's words fell, the entire place erupted in an uproar.

Sever the connection to the imperial edict!

This was something many of them had dreamed of doing!

It's a pity that by the time these people had journeyed from the academy to this point, climbing to their positions, they realized the imperial edict was a trap... Although binding with the imperial edict, under the influence of national fortune, could accelerate cultivation.

But the longer they lived, the more they feared the drawbacks of the imperial edict.

"So that's why. No wonder they'd be weak for a period."

Qin Wushang immediately understood.

"So what if you know!"

"Now, will you still refuse to cooperate with this Princess?"

"Especially you!"

"If a fight breaks out, do you think you can protect the man you love?"

Demon Spirit Child looked at Ye Hongfu and said smugly.

She had been so arrogant earlier, now it was her turn to gain the upper hand and mock her back.

"Go ahead and try to make a move!"

Ye Hongfu responded coldly.

Since Qin Wushang wasn't in a hurry to show his hand, she believed he must still have means to handle the situation.

"Severing the connection to the imperial edict is nothing much."

"This Young Master is a bit curious, just how do you plan to cooperate with me?"

Qin Wushang asked.

"Lend me your seed! This Princess thinks you're quite good. I need your seed to propagate my clan's excellent Bloodline and create even more powerful descendants!"
