Unremarkable grandfather

"Don't worry, it won't be long before City Lord Tong will take you out."

"Instead of being angry here, why not drink tea with me and wait slowly," Lin Qin explained.

Mu Zhen curled her lips, picked up the tea in front of her and drank it down, still sulking.

……

At this time, a mission of more than ten people had appeared outside the city lord's mansion.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his 40s, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the seventh floor of the Infant Modeling Realm.

Beside him was a snow wolf that was taller and stronger than Xiaoxue, with scarlet eyes full of tyranny.

The strength is also not bad, the third-level spirit beast, the combat power is enough to match the late-stage cultivator of the Infant Realm.

Behind him were five men and one woman, all of whom were in their 30s.

The strength is also good, there is only one Jindan Realm ninth floor, and the rest are all in the Infant Realm.

The strength of these people alone surpassed everyone in Dadi City except Tong An.

The only female monk was about 30 years old, and she looked somewhat similar to Muzhen in appearance.

Without exception, these people were filled with a strong evil spirit all over their bodies, as if they were not close to strangers.

The two guards guarding the gate felt a strong sense of oppression, and their hearts were raised in their throats.

In addition, there are two groups of people.

A wave of four people, a wave of five people.

These two groups of people kept a certain distance from the group of middle-aged men, and there was not much communication between them.

Not long after, a guard came out of the city lord's mansion, "The city lord has promised to see you, but...you are too many, just send a few representatives to enter, and the rest will arrange accommodation with me."

Before the middle-aged man at the head said anything, someone from the other two groups yelled, "What do you mean? We represent the entire Wasteland Star Continent, but we don't even allow the door to enter. Your city lord is really putting on airs."

The guard frowned slightly, but did not speak, and quietly held a formation flag with his right hand.

If this group of people wants to make trouble, he doesn't mind launching a killing array to kill them all.

The middle-aged man ignored the yelling person, but said: "Xylophone, Hua Nang, and Gan Lan, the three of you come with me, and the others will arrange accommodation."

Seeing him speak, even if the other people objected in their hearts, they couldn't speak again.

"Also, animal pets cannot be brought in," the guard added.

The middle-aged man nodded, bowed his head and whispered something in Snow Wolf's ear, and then led the three of them into the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after, a group of people came to the meeting hall.

Tong An had already sat in the first seat, and the table was filled with five cups of spiritual tea.

Wisps of fragrance wafted through the entire hall, making people feel refreshed.

"Please take a seat. It's the first time you come to our land city, you can taste the local special spirit tea first."

Tong An got up and nodded, motioning for everyone to sit down.

"Next is Mu Yifu, head of the mission, who met City Lord Tong."

"Mr. Mu, please sit down!" Tong An said again.

Mu Yi clasped his fists together, and then sat down, and the others sat down one after another.

"City Lord Tong, you should have seen Mu Zhen, I wonder where she is?" The woman asked impatiently as soon as she sat down.

"You are?" Tong An looked over and felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar.

"Under the xylophone, it's Muzhen's older sister." The xylophone clasped her fists and introduced herself.

Tong An nodded and said, "She's fine now, and I'll bring her to you later."

Lin Qin had already sent him a voice transmission, and asked him to pick up Mu Zhen later.

Xylophone breathed a sigh of relief, showing a relieved expression, and thanked with a smile, "Then I would like to thank City Lord Tong, and if there is anything wrong with Sister She, please also ask Haihan."

"Good talk, good talk!"

Tong An picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, looked at Mu Yi, and asked, "I don't know why all of you are so laborious?"

Mu Yi glanced at the tea in front of him, and didn't intend to pick it up to taste it, "I believe City Lord Tong already understands the purpose of our coming here."

Tong An shrugged, and didn't say he knew, nor did he say he didn't know.

Seeing him like this, Mu Yi had no choice but to continue: "There are three main things, one: our Wasteland Starland wants to form an alliance with Cangcheng."

Tong An frowned, and stretched out his hand to interrupt the other party, "Wait, isn't Snow Wolf Sect and Dadicheng allied? Why did it become an alliance between two star lands?"

"It's like this, we form an alliance, and then promote cooperation and exchanges between the two major star continents."

"I believe that both Dadi City and Cangcheng Xinglu are happy to see such a situation, aren't they?"

Tong An smiled coldly, "Mr. Mu, don't you think this topic is too ridiculous?"

"I don't know you at all, so I came here to form an alliance. Who knows if you have good intentions or harbor evil intentions?"

"You know, the massacre of the Beastmaster Sect in Cangcheng has already caused dissatisfaction among many monks."

"To tell you the truth, you are the only one who caused the most damage and damage when the four major star lands invaded our Cangcheng. There is still a possibility for us to cooperate with other star lands, but with you...it is impossible."

Snapped……

One person slapped the table fiercely, stood up abruptly, and violent breath gushed out.

"My Beastmaster Sect not only lost more than [-] monsters in this invasion, but also lost a fifth-level baby-shaping-level expert and a digital infant-shaping-level early-stage expert. So what?"

The person who spoke also appeared to be around 40 years old, and his cultivation was at the beginning of the first layer of the Baby Shaping Realm.

Judging by the breath, the breakthrough time is not long.

Tong An sneered, and with a wave of his sleeves, the aura that filled the hall dissipated instantly.

"Nian you are the first offender, you can ignore it this time, and next time, don't blame me for being rude."

"You..." This person only felt his body sink, and his whole body was pressed back to his seat.

"Hua Nang, stay by the side honestly, don't speak, or get the hell out of here." Mu Yi glanced at this person coldly, with a bit of sharpness in his eyes.

Hua Nang glanced at the others, seeing that no one was speaking for him, he snorted coldly and dared not say any more.

"City Master Tong, don't mind, I apologize to you on his behalf." Mu Yi said sincerely.

"There's no need to apologize. You'd better tell me all your future intentions, so that I don't have to reject them one by one." Tong An waved his hand indifferently, and said straightforwardly.

The other two also showed some dissatisfaction when they heard this.

"City Master Tong, my main purpose this time is also to apologize to the monks in Cangcheng on behalf of Yushouzong and offer compensation. As long as you make a price, if you can afford it, we will send the compensation to you as soon as possible. Come to Earth City."

"At the same time, we also request Dadi City to provide large-scale support to the wasteland star land."

"Support? Thanks to your thinking, you are not afraid of us playing tricks behind our backs, cooperating with the enemy inside and outside, and killing you all in one go?" Tong An showed a half-smile expression on his face.

But he secretly said in his heart: "I'm afraid this wasteland star land will encounter huge troubles, otherwise it will not make such a bad plan."

Seeing the weird expression on his face, Mu Yi felt very helpless, and could only say: "We have no other choice, Litian Xinglu unilaterally tore up the covenant for some reason. Therefore, we have no choice but to seek help from Cangcheng. "

"Actually, we are thinking about Cangcheng."

"There are five space cracks in the wasteland star land, and starry sky monsters invade all the time. It is already very difficult for our five major sects to deal with these monsters."

"Once Litian Xinglu provokes a war, the defensive army will collapse in a very short period of time. At that time, these starry sky monsters will drive straight in and cause extremely serious losses to Cangcheng."

"Unless we have to, we don't want to give up the home we've been living in. If we can't defend ourselves, we won't stick to it. At worst, we will hand over the Wasteland Starland to others."

Mu Yi said in an extremely sincere tone, but Tong An still heard the threat.

"Then let them come over." Tong An shrugged indifferently.

Mu Yi frowned. Before coming again, he had already investigated the past deeds of Dadicheng, and knew that people here like to be kind to others.

That's why I suggested letting the pure-minded Mu Zhen take the front line to test Dadicheng's attitude.

It was just the result that made him dissatisfied.

"City Lord Tong, we can make compensation. Moreover, those starry sky monsters are quite powerful. Once the entrance is lost, it will cause irreparable losses to the five star continents."

"It's not just people who are lost, but also the star land on which we live."

"For countless years, in order to protect this land, our five major sects have suffered heavy deaths."

"The seniors threw their heads and sprinkled their blood, completely using their lives to block the five space cracks."

Tong An waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words.

"Mr. Mu, you are indeed great. I was almost moved. But what does this have to do with me?"

"Speaking so much, it's better to talk about something practical." Tong An didn't really want to reject these people, but to raise the bargaining chip for the next negotiation.

"First of all, let Yushouzong come up with compensation that satisfies us. We will not ask for these compensations, but use them to build a fortress at the junction of stars and land."

"Secondly, we will send a powerful monk army team to assist you in defending the void cracks. However, they must be paid accordingly. And the monk army is allowed to recruit members from the entire wasteland star land."

"Thirdly, if... I mean if, after assisting you to guard the void cracks, if you want to build a city, you must build an earth temple in each city to worship our ancestors for generations."

"As long as you agree to these three conditions, it is not impossible to help you defend."

Mu Yi and the others looked at each other, lost in thought.

No matter which one of these three conditions can be easily fulfilled.

The third thing is even more illusory. Judging from the current situation, not to mention completely guarding the void cracks, it is already overestimated to persist for ten years.

If you can really keep it completely, it is very cost-effective to build a useless earth temple.

The most difficult thing is the additional conditions of the first two. The first one needs to build a fortress on the border.

You don't need to think about its function, it must be used to defend against starry sky monsters.

The second one is equivalent to enhancing the power of Dadicheng in a disguised form.

"If you agree, let's discuss the compensation in detail." Tong An said with a smile.

Since Mu Zhen's visit, he has used the power of the Wheel Soul Sect to investigate the matter of the wasteland star land.

Coupled with the news that Zhou Tai sent back from time to time, combined with each other, it is easy to judge the authenticity of Mu Yi's words.

"We need to discuss it with people in the sect."

After a while, Mu Yi spoke.

This matter is quite important, he cannot make a decision by himself, and needs to pass the news back.

"Please, everyone can wander around the city freely. Oh, by the way, Lingshan is a restricted area, so don't get close." Tong An reminded with a smile.

"Master Tong, what about my sister?" Xylophone couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, I'll go and take her to the inn where you are staying." Tong An picked up the teacup and took a sip. After talking so much, his mouth was really dry.

"Then thank you, the city lord!" Xylophone stood up, bowed slightly, and thanked.

"It's okay, it should be!"

Tong An waved his hand, beckoned the guards to come in, and took these people out.

And he was sitting on the seat, with an incomprehensible expression on his face.

After a while, he also got up and left, it was time to fetch Mu Zhen out.

In Lingshan, Lin Qin was still sipping tea.

Mu Zhen who was sitting opposite was a little restless.

Just when I was about to ask, the white mist rolled around, as if an invisible big hand was stirring inside.

Soon, a passage appeared, leading directly to the edge of the formation, and a figure stood inside the formation.

"City Lord Tong!"

Mu Zhen jumped up in surprise, and just ran a few steps, as if thinking of something, she turned her head to look.

Apart from the rolling white mist behind him, where is Lin Qin's shadow?

Just when she was about to go back to look for it, Tong An's voice came over, cutting off the thoughts she had just raised: "Miss Muzhen, why did you come here? The wasteland mission is looking for you somewhere."

"Really?" Mu Zhen was overjoyed.

Tong An nodded, "Your sister Xylophone is also here."

"Sister is here too, that's great!" Mu Zhen quickly ran over with Snow Wolf.

Soon after the formation, they were taken to the inn where the mission stayed.

Tong An came out of the inn and went straight to Lingshan.

"My lord!" Tong An stood behind Lin Qin and saluted respectfully.

"How are things going?"

"Everything is going well. According to the old slave's guess, they will agree. After all, the conditions we gave are not too much." Tong An stood up straight and said with a smile.

"You can talk to Gu Xiaojun in detail later, so that he can get ready." Lin Qin nodded and said without looking back.

Tong An showed surprise on his face, "My lord, don't you send a stronger earth monk army?"

"Don't you think it's easier for cultivators in the Wasteland Starland to be recognized by the Dragon Soul?"

Tong An came to a sudden, "Your Excellency is more thoughtful."

Lin Qin laughed dumbfounded.

"There is something I need to remind you of."

"Sir, please speak!"

"Unknown variables have appeared in Litian Xinglu. In the past few days, you and the ghost old man will go back to the Soul Sect to completely remove the unstable factors in the sect."

"The ghost old man will stay there, using the three major cities as the base of the formation, and the body of the wheel soul tower as the eye of the formation, to build a huge protective formation to prevent all forces from entering Cangcheng."

"At the same time, build a teleportation array to make it easier to go back and forth."

"Okay, I'll make some preparations and leave immediately." Combining what Mu Yi said before, Tong An already had some guesses.

He only needs to bring the ghost old man there before he can return without delaying the negotiation with the mission.
