The monk on Linggui Island looked at Qinglan, his face turned livid, and he said solemnly: "Qinglan, aren't you afraid that our Nanhai army will destroy your Qinglan Sect's inheritance when it arrives?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? If your Nanhai army doesn't come, will the people of Xuantian Sect let me go? Anyway, I'm going to die. It doesn't matter whose hands I die in. After all, I'll help Xuan Tianzong." Tianzong, they might be able to let us go, at least they are better than you, and they are still willing to talk to us, but you refused to talk to us, and just refused."
"You...!" The people from Linggui Island didn't know what to say. In their view, Qinglan's behavior was naturally treasonous, but now that they heard what Qinglan said, they couldn't say anything. What happened, because they knew very well that Qing Lan was right.
Before, Qinglan went to Nanhai to discuss cooperation with them, but they refused directly. In their opinion, they should not be involved in this matter. Qinglan and the others had already fallen out with Xuantian Sect. , Xuantian Sect will definitely not let Qinglan and the others go, and Qinglan and the others will not surrender. When the time comes, they will definitely fight, so whether they help Qinglan or the others, they will fight with all the major sects, so Why are they involved? And if the major sects really defeated Qinglan and the others, they would have to pay a heavy price. Then they would just send troops to capture the buffer zone in one fell swoop, and they would no longer have to be so passive in the future.
But who could have imagined that at this moment, they suddenly received news that the Tanhai League and the others actually had peace talks with Xuantian Sect and the others, and the content of the peace talks was that the Tanhai League helped Xuantian Sect attack Rennanhai. If they win, then Xuantian Sect and other righteous sects can give the buffer zone to Qinglan and others.
As soon as they heard the news, the people on the Seventy-Two Islands in the South China Sea were all stunned. They really didn't expect that the other party would do this. This was really too much. If the two of them really united, Then they in Nanhai might be really in trouble.
It is precisely because of this that they immediately sent people to contact Qinglan and the others, hoping to cooperate with Qinglan and the others again to deal with the Xuantian Sect and the others. This time, the two people they sent were one One person is a good person and the other is a bad person.
Sure enough, the man from Ling Crab Island was speechless when he saw the man from Ling Turtle Island. He then said: "Qing Lan, you have to think clearly. You have a big grudge against Xuantian Sect. What they are saying now It sounds nice. As long as you help them deal with us, we can give you the buffer zone when the time comes. But do you really think that you can defeat our seventy-two islands in the South China Sea? Our seventy-two islands in the South China Sea will stand firm in the South China Sea for thousands of years. , with our methods, how can you deal with it? Once you fail, do you think Xuantian Sect will let you go?"
Qinglan's expression changed, and then she snorted coldly: "So what, we can't cooperate with you in Nanhai, so we can only bow our heads like Xuantian Sect and others. Otherwise, if they wave their army now, we can stop it." Can you live there? Rather than die now, it’s better to live in death.”
When the man from Ling Crab Island heard what Qing Lan said, his eyes lit up. He understood what Qing Lan meant. It seemed that Qing Lan didn't want to cooperate with Xuantian Sect, but they didn't cooperate with Xuantian Sect. Xuantian Sect's army will attack soon, so they have to cooperate with Xuantian Sect and others. If he has other choices, then naturally he does not have to cooperate with Xuantian Sect and others.
When he thought of this, the man from Ling Crab Island immediately said to Qing Lan: "Qing Lan, you left in too hasty before. We didn't say we wouldn't cooperate with you. We just said we wanted to discuss it, but we didn't expect it. , you left directly before we came to a conclusion. How can you blame us? This time we are here, one is to ask you why you negotiated peace with Xuantian Sect, and the other is to discuss cooperation with you. After many discussions on the matter, our Seventy-two Islands feel that it is okay to cooperate with you. Not only can we deal with the attacks of the righteous sects together, but we can also strengthen our communication and trade with each other. This is a good thing. Son, so this time we are here to discuss cooperation with you. I just don’t know if you still need to cooperate with us. If you really don’t want to cooperate with us, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything. We are now Just go back and prepare to fight, but to be honest, we have cooperated with me before, and we don’t want to fight with you, so you have to think about it carefully.”
Qinglan's face couldn't help but change when he heard what the people from Lingxi Island said. Of course he knew that this person was talking nonsense. Why was he in a hurry when he left? Why did it take so long to reach a conclusion? It was all nonsense. He I clearly remember that the other party rejected him directly at that time, but now he said so.
But Qing Lan also understood what the other party meant. What the other party said was just to find a way down, to tell them that now we want to cooperate again, you can figure it out.
But in this case, the initiative is in the hands of Qinglan and the others, and as the representative of the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea, being able to say this is tantamount to admitting defeat, which is already a great deal of face for them.
Qing Lan's expression also changed. Then he glanced at the man on Ling Crab Island and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you really want to cooperate with us?" The other party had already lowered his head, so naturally he couldn't It's too much. After all, they really want to cooperate with each other. There is no need to make the relationship too stiff, which will be counterproductive.
The monk from Ling Crab Island immediately said: "Of course, we just want to cooperate with you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here today. We would just prepare to fight."
Qinglan said in a deep voice: "I thought you all came here specifically to ask questions, please." After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation on one side of his body.
The man from Ling Crab Island smiled slightly, and then gently patted a small pocket on his body. The big crab next to him disappeared directly, and the man from Ling Turtle Island also patted himself. In one of his pockets, the spirit turtle also disappeared. The others did the same and put away their spirit beasts.
The group of people soon arrived at the main hall of Qinglan Sect. After they sat down, Qinglan introduced Zhao Hai and the others to the people on Lingxi Island and Linggui Island. The two people also introduced themselves. The man on the island is called Lin Feng, and the man on Linggui Island is called Xu Lei.
After everyone had finished their introductions, Qinglan looked at the two of them and said, "You two, I want to know how the Seventy-Two Islands in the South China Sea can cooperate with us. Should we cooperate as I said before, or do you have any other ideas? .”
Lin Feng looked at Qing Lan and said with a smile: "Our method of cooperation is actually very simple. We will cooperate according to the method you mentioned before, Taoist Qing Lan. We will send troops to the Seventy-Two Islands in the South China Sea to force Xuantian Sect and others to retreat and let them Their people have withdrawn from the buffer zone, and then the matters in the buffer zone will be left to you to solve. However, after the matter is completed, you must not cooperate with Xuantian Sect and others. Any attack from the Sword Spirit Continent, You cannot allow any attempt to attack the South China Sea through the buffer zone. Of course, our seventy-two islands in the South China Sea can also open trading rights to you, and you can trade with us on an equal footing."
Qing Lan nodded, turned to look at Zhao Hai and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone shook their heads. Zhao Hai thought for a while, glanced at Lin Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Then can you make a covenant with our Sea Exploration Alliance, write down all the things mentioned before, and agree at the same time, From now on, we will not invade each other."
When Lin Feng heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he glanced at Zhao Hai, then nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you agree, there will be no problem."
Zhao Hai nodded, turned to Qinglan and said: "Leader, I have no problem." The same goes for the others, who have no problem either.
Qing Lan nodded, glanced at Lin Feng and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do this. As long as we sign this covenant, we can cooperate immediately. As long as the Seventy-two Islands in the South China Sea can control Xuantian If the people of the sect are forced out of the buffer zone, then the other sects in the buffer zone will be left to us to deal with. I guarantee that the buffer zone will eventually fall into the hands of our Sea Exploration Alliance."
"Okay!" When Lin Feng heard what Qing Lan said, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Taoist Qing Lan is really happy, so it's settled. You can draft the covenant right away. The covenant is divided into two, and everyone holds a Put another copy in our hands. Everyone signs the covenant. Then I will take the covenant back and ask each island owner to sign it. Then I will send your share back to you on the day the covenant is returned. , is the beginning of our formal cooperation.”
Qinglan nodded and said: "Okay, but Xuantian Sect has given us a deadline. If we don't agree to cooperate with them tomorrow, they will attack us, so please hurry up and don't wait until we have already They have been wiped out and you are signing a covenant, so it will be too late."
"Master Qinglan, please rest assured. After we return, we will start taking action immediately. Even if the covenant has not been signed, we can take action immediately and will not let Xuantian Sect and others cause you too much loss."
Qinglan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, please wait a moment." After saying that, Qinglan called someone over and asked him to go to the Qinglan Sect's warehouse and take out a piece of high-quality monster skin. The content of the covenant was written on the skin, two copies were written on one side, and then the heads of all the sects in the Sea Exploration League wrote their names on the skin, and then they handed the skin to Lin Feng.
After Lin Feng took the animal skin, he glanced at the content on it, then nodded and said: "Okay, Taoist Qinglan, let's go back first and handle this matter right away. You guys are waiting for us." Good news." After saying that, he stood up, saluted Qinglan and everyone, then turned and left.
Qinglan and the others sent Lin Feng and the others to the teleportation array. Seeing them disappear into the teleportation array, Qinglan and the others showed excited expressions on their faces. Qinglan even shouted in a low voice: "That's great. Success!" (To be continued.)
