Chapter 363: The Alliance Between the Two Great Clans and the Heaven Dou Empire
Chen Xin stated plainly that he did not want to take such a huge advantage from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
His direct refusal made Ning Fengzhi somewhat anxious, but this matter was actually not difficult to resolve.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never intended to simply give the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to Chen Xin for free. So when Yu Yuanzhen hinted that a trade involving benefits was possible, everything became much simpler.
Ning Fengzhi immediately began a lively discussion with Yu Yuanzhen, negotiating the price required to obtain this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone. His attitude was also very clear: any problem that could be solved with money was not truly a problem.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were both among the Upper Three Sects. Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had now completely surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in overall strength, when it came to wealth, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan at all. The gap between them was enormous.
There was no helping it. Spirit Masters who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul were naturally gifted at appraising and searching for treasures. The only difference was the degree of talent. Because of this, the wealth accumulated by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was astonishing, enough to be described as rivaling an empire.
After the Soul Hunting Operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had suffered heavy losses in assets. Furthermore, the clan's massive relocation and the construction of its new territory were burning money like flowing water. Now was the perfect opportunity to recover part of those losses from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Before long, the two Clan Heads finalized the many details of the transaction.
Several major industries under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were directly transferred to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In addition, there were several other important exchanges of benefits. In the end, both sides were quite satisfied with the result.
Although this was a transaction, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone could truly be called priceless. More importantly, it could restore Chen Xin's severed right arm.
Strictly speaking, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had still gained a huge advantage.
Everyone present understood this clearly. In other words, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan now owed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan an enormous favor.
After seeing that his grandfather and Ning Fengzhi had finished their discussion, Yu Tianlin held the lead box in both hands and handed it to Chen Xin.
After receiving the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Chen Xin glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen. In the end, he only nodded silently and said nothing more.
He kept this favor in his heart.
"Sword Douluo may absorb the Spirit Bone here in peace," Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile as he stroked his beard. "Once your right arm is restored, let us fight again."
After saying this, Yu Yuanzhen brought Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling out of the room, leaving the quiet room to Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi. Then he headed toward another room to meet Prince Xue Xing.
Ye Lingling knew that meeting Prince Xue Xing had nothing to do with her, so she voluntarily stopped halfway and did not continue following.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin thought for a moment and felt that meeting Prince Xue Xing did not require his involvement either, so he also stopped beside her.
However, Yu Yuanzhen clearly wanted Yu Tianlin to follow and gain more experience in such matters. Seeing that Yu Tianlin had stopped, he beckoned for him to catch up.
Since that was the case, Yu Tianlin could only go along and observe.
At this moment, in another quiet room, Yu Mingfeng was receiving Prince Xue Xing.
As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Head, personally receiving Prince Xue Xing could not be considered neglectful.
When Yu Yuanzhen entered with Yu Tianlin behind him, Prince Xue Xing, who had been exchanging polite but meaningless words with Yu Mingfeng, immediately stood up. Yu Mingfeng also rose from his seat.
As soon as Yu Yuanzhen entered, he said, "I apologize for making Your Highness wait. This is my fault."
"I would not dare, I would not dare." Prince Xue Xing waved his hands repeatedly. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has just relocated, so it is only natural that Clan Head Yu has many matters to handle. Besides, Brother Mingfeng's hospitality was already more than sufficient. Although our conversation was brief, I learned quite a few things from him."
After some polite exchanges, Yu Yuanzhen naturally took the main seat of honor, while Yu Tianlin and Yu Mingfeng stood on either side of him.
After another round of pleasantries, Prince Xue Xing went straight to the point.
"Clan Head Yu, Spirit Hall recently committed such heinous acts. It is truly shocking. Unfortunately, the empire's influence in the northwest is weak, so we were unable to assist the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Fortunately, your clan is powerful and successfully repelled the ambitious Spirit Hall."
As he spoke, a trace of fervor flashed through Prince Xue Xing's eyes.
By now, news of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength had essentially spread everywhere. In particular, the fact that they possessed five Titled Douluo was now known to all.
After fully understanding this situation, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was desperate to pull the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into its camp. That was why, as soon as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan settled into its new territory, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family impatiently dispatched Prince Xue Xing.
"Spirit Hall..."
At the mention of Spirit Hall, Yu Yuanzhen paused briefly before saying, "Your Highness, I already have a general understanding of the purpose of your visit. Here, I can clearly state that when it comes to dealing with Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can stand unconditionally with the Heaven Dou Empire."
He agreed directly?
Prince Xue Xing was stunned for a moment, then immediately became overjoyed.
When he had spoken with Yu Mingfeng earlier, Yu Mingfeng had only responded vaguely with polite remarks. Prince Xue Xing had not expected Yu Yuanzhen to state his position so clearly the moment he arrived.
"Clan Head Yu, please rest assured," Prince Xue Xing said quickly.
Since Yu Yuanzhen had already made his stance clear, Prince Xue Xing naturally had to show the attitude of the Heaven Dou Empire as well. He patted his chest and said, "Spirit Hall has committed such despicable acts. Its greedy ambitions are obvious to anyone with eyes."
"In the future, Spirit Hall will definitely become a great enemy of the empire. On this point, the interests of your clan, the empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan are completely aligned."
Although the Heaven Dou Empire had a million troops, the number of high-level Spirit Masters it possessed was far too small.
Previously, the strongest existence they could rely on was Dugu Bo. However, Dugu Bo's status was rather detached. The Heaven Dou Empire could only maintain its connection with him through favors and benefits. It could not truly command him at will.
But now, because of Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, two powerful clans, had directly aligned themselves with the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although this was only an alliance, and the two great clans could not be commanded freely by the Heaven Dou Empire just like Dugu Bo, the empire's strength had still increased greatly.
Just imagine it.
The five Titled Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and nearly ten thousand Spirit Masters from both clans combined, all standing on the same front line as the Heaven Dou Empire.
With a million soldiers below, ten thousand Spirit Masters above, and several Titled Douluo standing at the peak, this deterrent force alone was enough to make Spirit Hall hesitate before acting recklessly.
