The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 907 Negotiation Ground
Chapter 907: Chapter 907 Negotiation Ground
Chu Xianlie quickly received a response from Chu Hongnan.
Although several forces had already chosen to pay the Chu Family a resource commission, the Chu Family did not intend to stop this operation.
The next target was the Third Grade force Hua Family. Without any suspense, the Hua Family battle camp was razed to the ground.
However, by the time Chu Xianlie arrived at the fourth target, the Heavenly Illumination Sect Camp, it was already deserted. Clearly, the martial artists of the Heavenly Illumination Sect had chosen to flee before Chu Xianlie and others arrived.
They knew that staying behind would not stop the Chu Family’s attack and would only lead to death. So, they chose to leave the Heavenly Illumination Sect Camp and temporarily withdraw from the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering.
Since the Heavenly Illumination Sect members had left the camp, Second and Third had no good way to pursue them, so they simply destroyed the Heavenly Illumination Sect Camp and headed to the final target, the Qin Family Camp.
As expected, the Qin Family Camp was also empty.
Later, Chu Xianlie reported the entire process to Chu Hongnan. Chu Hongnan immediately went to see Jing Yan to explain the escape situation of the Heavenly Illumination Sect and Qin Family camps’ members.
"If they escaped, so be it!"
"There’s no need to pursue them. Destroying these forces’ camps aims to intimidate rather than simply kill these people. Since the members of the Qin Family Camp and the Heavenly Illumination Sect Camp left early, let it be," Jing Yan said slowly.
Next, the Chu Family began to send personnel to take over the mining resources belonging to these five forces. At the same time, they also dispatched inspectors to other forces.
After all, without supervision, the Chu Family could not ensure that these forces would honestly disclose all the Spirit Stone quantities mined from the sources.
Previously, the Netherworld Sect had also sent inspectors to various forces’ mining sources, and all the Spirit Stones mined had to be counted by the inspectors.
After the thunderous actions of the Chu Family this time, the various forces in the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering were very obedient. They were also very courteous to the inspectors sent by the Chu Family, not daring to resort to any deception to cover-up.
They now knew for sure that provoking the Chu Family was a bad idea. Otherwise, the camps of those five forces would serve as a cautionary tale. The current Chu Family was ruthless and domineering, and if anyone dared to deceive the Chu Family, they probably wouldn’t even get a chance to explain themselves.
The operation of the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering gradually returned to normal.
Half a year passed in a flash.
In a corner of the Chaotic Land, martial artists started to gather from all directions.
This place was where the negotiation between the Netherworld Sect and the Chu Family was to take place. Now, with the negotiation date approaching, many forces’ martial artists arrived early to wait.
The five Divine Domains were very concerned about the negotiations between the Netherworld Sect and the Chu Family. Some major forces also sent people to gather information. They wanted to know how this negotiation would end. Would it end in a handshake or with one side being wiped out?
In fact, everyone understood.
The chances of the Netherworld Sect and the Chu Family shaking hands and making peace were very slim.
The Chu Family now controlled the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering, so how likely was it for the Chu Family to return the acquired advantages to the Netherworld Sect?
On the other hand, the Netherworld Sect would never sit idly and watch the Chu Family grow stronger. The Chu Family had already threatened the Netherworld Sect’s position in the Quicksand Divine Domain. How could a First-class Sect be willing to see itself gradually replaced? If the Chu Family continued to control the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering for a long time, surpassing the Netherworld Sect would be just a matter of time.
Especially now, the Netherworld Sect had already lost three Saint Realm Third Stage powerhouses, severely damaging its top combat power. Under such circumstances, if they allowed the Chu Family to grow stronger, it wouldn’t be long before the Chu Family surpassed the Netherworld Sect to become the largest force in the Quicksand Divine Domain.
Moreover, the Chu Family now had a group of mysterious and powerful allies.
Therefore, an ultimate showdown between the Netherworld Sect and the Chu Family was likely to happen soon. This time, although both sides publicly claimed it was a negotiation, in reality, it might be the final battle.
"Are you sure about the information? The Netherworld Sect has allied with the Ten Thousand Sword Sect of the Flame God Domain? And the Fang Family of the Tianxia Divine Domain is also openly supporting the Netherworld Sect?" A Saint Realm martial artist near the negotiation site asked with glittering eyes.
"Yes, the information is basically confirmed. We have someone who saw with their own eyes the First Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect, the Great Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and the Clan Leader of the Fang Family gathering and conspiring together. Moreover, these three First-grade forces have all deployed a large number of Saint Realm martial artists this time," another Saint Realm martial artist nodded in agreement.
"Three First-grade forces joined forces?"
"Just to deal with the Chu Family? A mere Second Grade force?"
"Even if the Chu Family has strong allies, I’m afraid they are doomed," the Saint Realm martial artist gasped and exclaimed unconsciously.
"The Chu Family’s foundation is still too shallow, without enough depth. This time the Netherworld Sect is determined to eliminate the Chu Family at any cost," said the martial artist in the red robe with glinting eyes.
"The Chu Family Patriarch can’t be that incompetent, can he? He should have anticipated that the Netherworld Sect would have many countermeasures prepared to deal with the Chu Family. So, could the Chu Family also secretly be contacting some major forces? For example, the First-grade forces of the Lan Ning Divine Domain and the Eight Dragon Divine Domain?" The Saint Realm martial artist in a blue robe hesitated.
"It’s difficult! The First-grade forces of the Lan Ning Divine Domain and the Eight Dragon Divine Domain probably won’t intervene easily. Especially since the Chu Family is currently at an absolute disadvantage," the red-robed martial artist shook his head.
"Only two days left until the negotiation date. The Chu Family people haven’t shown up yet, we don’t know what they’re thinking,"
"By the way, if a large-scale battle really happens, I wonder if the people from the Sky Sacred Hall will take action. The Guardian Lord probably wouldn’t want to see a war breaking out in the Chaotic Land, right? It is said that four thousand years ago, the Guardian mediated the battle between humans and gods because he saw that the last complete chaotic land in the world would be destroyed," the blue-robed martial artist remarked wistfully.
"It’s hard to say, but I think the Sky Sacred Hall must have already received the news. Guardian Chen Long should also come out in person. As for whose side he’ll take, it’s hard to say," the red-robed martial artist shook his head again.
Such discussions often occurred near the negotiation site.
It was indeed difficult to completely conceal the gathering of the Netherworld Sect, Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and Fang Family leaders from the Saint Realm martial artists. Moreover, judging by the three major forces’ stance, they didn’t seem to want to hide it. They had even appeared together in public occasions.
They didn’t seem afraid of the Chu Family getting the news in advance. In fact, they seemed to hope the Chu Family would get the information early, making them lose courage before the negotiation even started.
