#3941 - Desolation·Last Face?
“I don't understand why our superiors can't even handle the most basic negotiations. Do they really think that having Hongjun means they can completely control this native? It seems like the other side doesn't care about this at all. Perhaps, in their eyes, the reason they're negotiating with us is because our alliance with Hongjun poses a bit of a threat.”
“It's not just a bit of a threat. A threat doesn't mean anything to this native. I estimate that the other side feels it's a bit troublesome. This time, it seems like they're negotiating with us, but in reality, they're just here to inform us of their position. Whether we accept or reject this position isn't that important. It's frustrating to even think about.”
“Then what can we do? Who told us that we don't pose any threat to this native at all? Over the years, we've been constantly proving with our actions that we're no match for them. Every time I think about this, I feel so sad. Why have we, the Chaos Gods, fallen to this point?”
“Alright, now is not the time to talk about these things. I hope our superiors can be a little more rational. I don't want them to provoke this native again. Quickly agree to this native's idea and buy us some time of peace. Why continue to fight someone we can't beat?”
......
The reason why these seal-controlling powerhouses think this way isn't because they've completely surrendered in their hearts.
It's purely because they're afraid.
If they ever get a chance in the future, they definitely won't show any mercy.
Through Qin Buyi's words, these old guys in the depths of the Barren Land naturally understand what he means.
It's precisely because they understand that they're even more unhappy.
This unhappiness mainly stems from the various feelings of powerlessness in their hearts.
They originally thought they could threaten the other side through Hongjun.
Now it seems that their ideas are still a bit naive.
Thinking of this, the eyes of these old guys suddenly dimmed.
After a long while, the negotiations proceeded very smoothly.
From the moment Qin Buyi stated that he wasn't afraid of them joining forces with Hongjun, these old guys stopped expressing any other opinions.
This isn't like buying things at a vegetable market, where you need to haggle.
After Qin Buyi left, these old guys came back to their senses.
They realized that Qin Buyi had been in control of the conversation the entire time.
They couldn't help but clench their fists, their hearts seemingly suppressed with intense anger.
“Damn it, why is this bastard so arrogant! And how dare this bastard say that he's not afraid of our alliance with Hongjun? It seems like this guy might be crazy, saying some stupid things that he himself might not even understand. It's really pathetic. Perhaps we can let this guy know how foolish he is.”
“Alright, the other person has already left. What's the point of us saying these things now? If you had the courage to say what you were thinking just now in front of that native, we wouldn't be so passive. The conversation is over. Next, we still have to find a way out. We can't always be led by the nose.”
“That's a joke. What do you mean by having the courage to say those words just now? If I really said them, do you think this matter would have passed so easily given that native kid's temperament? Definitely not. It would have brought us a lot of trouble. It's completely not worth it.”
“Since you all know it's not worth it, then there's no need to discuss this matter behind his back anymore. This matter has already reached a conclusion. However, we still shouldn't give up on contacting Hongjun. At least it can give us one more option. That native just decided on this matter with nothing but words. There's no guarantee.”
......
What makes these old guys feel very uncertain is that Qin Buyi said he wouldn't attack them, but there's no time limit.
One day, one year... who knows when he will attack them.
If they wait for the other side to take the initiative, they will be completely passive by then.
Qin Buyi returned to his territory.
He found Wang Tian and Bai Ze and said, "In the future, we can gradually occupy more territory inside the Barren Land."
The reason for making this decision was also derived from the conversation with those old guys in the depths of the Barren Land.
Originally, Qin Buyi didn't want to do this at all.
Qin Buyi thought very clearly before. He didn't know if doing so would make those old guys desperate.
After the conversation, Qin Buyi found that he still had to appropriately increase the pressure on the other side.
If he didn't increase the pressure on them a bit, these old guys would really court death.
Wang Tian immediately said: "Yes!"
The next day, he spread the news to every part of the Barren Land.
After many Chaos God powerhouses heard this news, they were naturally furious.
“I knew these natives would definitely be insatiable. Now it seems that's indeed the case. They're really wishful thinking. Aren't they thinking too much? If we allow them to do this, wouldn't our faces be trampled under their feet by these guys? It's so sad to even think about it.”
“You say we can't allow those natives to do this, but what power do we have to resist them? The real reason is because we can't beat them. If we could beat them, we wouldn't be in this situation. The superiors have already admitted defeat. What reason do we have not to accept our fate?”
“Hmph, the superiors admitted defeat because they themselves are very useless! If it weren't for their wrong judgments in the past and some operations that people can't understand at all, how could the situation have become like this? If they had launched a destructive attack on that native earlier, there would have been no reason for the other side to jump around to this day.”
“What's the point of saying anything now? Also, our Barren Land is so big. If they want to occupy it, then let them occupy it. These territories don't have any major value. Besides being barren, what value is there in this broken place called the Barren Land? It's just that Hongjun is sealed here by us.”
......
Having no value doesn't mean that this behavior is meaningless.
Along with the actions of Wanlong and the others, this is also releasing many signals.
From a certain point of view, this is also announcing that Qin Buyi's side has completely taken the lead.
Hongjun, who was secretly observing all of this, now showed a sneer on his face.
Qin Buyi said that the old guys in the depths of the Barren Land were cooperating with him was like seeking skin from a tiger.
In Hongjun's view, wasn't it the same for these old guys to cooperate with Qin Buyi?
Isn't the other side already no longer concealing their behavior now?
It's laughable to even think about it...
“Stupid ants, you are just being played in the palm of someone's hand...” Hongjun gritted his teeth and said.
He was so angry because these ants that he looked down on the most were now controlling his future.
The ultimate fate of these old guys in the depths of the Barren Land is to fall.
Since they are going to fall, what difference does it make whether Qin Buyi achieves the final victory or he achieves the final victory?
It's better to just let go of himself so that he can deal with Qin Buyi, and by the way, destroy them as well...
However, these old guys in the depths of the Barren Land just can't understand this principle.
How can it not make people angry!
After Qin Buyi issued the order, he didn't continue to stay in the Barren Land.
There was not much value for him to stay in the Barren Land.
It's better to seize the time to deal with other things.
By the way, let his cultivation increase rapidly, wouldn't he be more confident when he comes next time?
After he left, Bai Ze and Wanlong commanded many subordinates to start expanding their territory.
When expanding the territory, the movement must not be too small.
Especially since their side has already released the news, whether it is Hongjun or those old guys in the depths of the Barren Land are paying attention to them.
They must make a huge noise!
Wanlong said to Bai Ze: "What should we do?"
Bai Ze said with a smile: "Isn't this simple? Just make it known to everyone."
Hearing the answer in Bai Ze's mouth, Wanlong was still a little dazed.
He looked at Bai Ze blankly and said: "Known to everyone? What do you mean?"
Seeing Wanlong like this, Bai Ze couldn't help but sighed:
“You guy, there's no cure for you.”
There was still half a sentence behind, Bai Ze didn't say it because he was considering Wanlong's face, that is, a wooden head, difficult to enlighten.
Soon Wanlong knew what Bai Ze meant.
When expanding the territory, Bai Ze deliberately sent people to beat gongs and drums, making it very lively.
You must know that Wanlong's subordinates are all Third Rank Quasi-Saints, not mortals in the mortal world.
The movement they made like this, the entire Barren Land has not calmed down for many years...
This made those old guys in the depths of the Barren Land even more resentful in their anger.
What is called hitting someone without hitting the face, now the other side is not a question of hitting the face or not hitting the face.
It's simply insulting them!
It's completely treating them like air.
“Hmph, we can't deal with that native kid, can't we deal with these guys? If we old guys can't even deal with that native kid's subordinates, then what are we fighting with the other side? It's better to just hand over the Barren Land with both hands. Now we need to think of a win-win solution.”
“Those dragon races of Wanlong all have formations to protect them. Moving them is equivalent to moving the foundation of our Barren Land. If Hongjun really runs out by then, we will definitely not have any good end. We can't attack them, doesn't mean we can't sabotage. Aren't they going to expand their territory? We just tear down the stage.”
“At any rate, we are all old-brand powerhouses who have been famous for a long time. Is it not very good to do this? I think it's a bit too embarrassing. It's better to let the people below do it. We only need to be responsible for issuing orders. The people below will definitely do it very well. We don't necessarily have to go down in person. I am resistant.”
“You said to hand this matter over to our tribe below? Isn't this nonsense? What can they do well? You must know that the cultivation of those Wanlong guys has reached the Third Rank Quasi-Saint realm, and there is also that old Yin 13 of Bai Ze, and whether the native kid has left them with powerful means, this is all an unknown.”...
Once upon a time, if you were to say to these high-ranking old guys.
They would do this kind of seemingly very inferior thing, they would never believe it.
They are all old-brand powerhouses who have been famous for a long time. It is too embarrassing to do this kind of thing.
Now this is being forced by Qin Buyi and there is no way.
If you can't substantively deal with Qin Buyi's side, then you can only find a way to save face for yourself.
They can't beat the other side, and completely giving up fighting with the other side are two completely different concepts.
The former can retain the last bit of face, as for the latter... that is, there is no face at all.
Soon these old guys put their plan into action.
That is to attack the territory and buildings expanded by Wanlong and others.
“Boom~!” “Boom~!”
“Boom~!”...
Continuous explosions sounded continuously in the Barren Land.
