Chapter 1867 - 959: Thorough Investigation

Investigate thoroughly!

The Evil Cult is hidden too deeply for me to destroy, but you, Xu Family, must give an explanation!

If you don't give an explanation, that's fine. Even if the Association isn't really going to attack the Xu Family with no mercy, during the upcoming Three Phases and One System conflict, don't blame us for providing some support and taking a few Heavenly Artisan items!

If previously at the Central City meeting, the confrontation between Hai Province and East City looked hostile, but could actually be negotiated.

Then now, with the Lou Family and Xu Family sitting together, it looks negotiable, but in reality, negotiation is almost impossible!

Now, Lou Suwen is confident, just waiting for Xu Youquan to break ties!

The choice lies before him.

You better persist stubbornly, continue to be tough, so that our families' centuries-old grievances can finally have an end!

Otherwise, hand over the Evil Cult!

Even if it's not there, you have to conjure it for me!

If you can't conjure it, then don't blame me for personally making it appear...

An instant so brief it's almost imperceptible, is already an epoch long enough to think through eternity for the Ascension Heavenly People.

In the great darkness, a hoarse voice sounded.

"Stop here."

Lou Suwen sneered, unable to resist cursing: barking like a dog for ages, I thought you wanted to fight me, but you chickened out again.

How did Xu Shan Hong raise such a coward like you?

"The price?"

He asked bluntly.

After a brief silence, Ghost Spring Master from the great darkness presented his hand, deeply sacrificing:

"Ten thousand Life Spirits."

[Life Spirit], in the Xu Family's Ascension Series Servant Spirit lineage, is a technique and monopoly result, it can simply be described as artificial spiritual bodies infinitely close to the soul.

Pure, blank, and precise, lacking any consciousness, just placed in a high-density spiritual environment, it can autonomously regenerate spiritual battery and is an excellent Secret Ritual offering and alchemy material!

Each one is a priceless treasure on the market; even if other Ascension techniques are somewhat similar, only the Xu Family has the capability for large-scale production.

Despite this, ten thousand Life Spirits is the accumulation of many years for the Xu Family.

In response, Lou Suwen raised one hand, spreading five fingers:

"Fifty thousand."

Xu Youquan almost laughed from the absurdity.

Fifty thousand? You've got the nerve! Do you think it's fifty thousand cabbages? It's not about whether there are fifty thousand or not; even if there were, producing so many at once would completely ruin the family core Soul Cleansing Pool, better to just get into a fight!

"Lou Suwen, don't go too far."

"What's excessive?"

Lou Suwen retorted: "Our Fly King project has totally collapsed with such a massive investment and costs; you wouldn't think a basic cost could settle it, would you? Besides, I haven't even calculated the collateral losses for you. If we get into calculations, the Xu Family couldn't pay it even if selling themselves, and you'd still have to thank me!"

"You're aware if it has truly collapsed!"

Xu Youquan wouldn't believe even a single word, knowing full well the effects of the Curse Poison. Moreover, could he not perceive the feedback from Heavenly Destiny!

"Then ten thousand will do."

Lou Suwen voluntarily 'retreated' a step, casually speaking: "Then throw in ten Evil Cult members, and I'll point out who they are for you."

You damn—

In the great darkness, Xu Youquan's gaze turned sharp, nearly stabbing the old man dead here.

Damn it, what's with "I'll point them out for you"? Whoever gets pointed is an Evil Cult member, huh!

Coming to my house to point and kill directly?!

If Lou Suwen actually points out ten people, he would definitely wipe out the entire next generation from the family at once! What's the difference with slow extermination?!

"Or thirty thousand Life Spirits then."

Lou Suwen calmly said: "I'm not an unreasonable demon; you decide."

In extreme frustration, one invariably laughs.

Xu Youquan's expression twitched uncontrollably.

Exchanging twenty thousand Life Spirits for ten Evil Cult members?

What member of the Evil Cult could equate to two thousand Life Spirits? Lu Changsheng would commend Lu Changsheng for hearing such terms, perhaps selling the secret association's assets outright!

"Get this straight, old man, if it really escalates to a Heavenly People resolution, I'm not necessarily at a disadvantage!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Lou Suwen smiled: "What's the point in negotiating then? Let's fight directly, I've already prepared the death battle application, once you sign it, we can submit to the Heavenly Governor!"

In less than a few seconds, within the perception span of the two Ascension Heavenly People, they couldn't know how long they'd been struggling against each other, until finally, just as Xu Lingwei was about to lose patience and explode with Lou Feng, they heard a voice from the great darkness, faces changed immediately.

It felt as though they had consumed several pounds of something, expressions twisted.

But ultimately, it did not erupt.

There was simply no opportunity for expression.

The agreement was finalized.

Massive reserves of spiritual crystals, numerous Ascension Series materials, the exorbitant transaction painstakingly agreed upon between North City and the Xu Family, and the sixteen thousand Life Soul Spirits accumulated over fifteen years by the Xu Family.

With these hefty compromises, in exchange for the Lou Family sparing them.

Xu Youquan decided firmly and issued commands, with Xu Lingwei finally stepping forward to bear the blame and sign the Spirit Contract as the scapegoat.
