Because Shopkeeper Seven had something to do, Du Zhenren had to leave with him. He really didn't have the courage to face Chen Taizhong directly.
A month later, the two made a comeback, but unfortunately, Chen Taizhong was still not there.
Two months later, the two came again, and this situation lasted for four months...
On this day, they finally met Chen Taizhong.
Chen Taizhong had a dirty look on his face, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He even hosted a banquet for the two of them, "Ignore the past grudges. Now that I'm here, you are the guests and I am the host. I always want to
Let’s entertain.”
Du Wuji tried his best to smile, "It seems that Master Chen has gained a lot from this trip?"
Chen Taizhong looked at him indifferently and said, "It's just some things about Haoran Sect. Master Du, don't think too much about it."
Du Wuji had a meal, but the conversations at the dinner table were all anecdotes from the Fenghuang world, such as how the demon cultivator was surrounded and suppressed. There was basically no room for him to show off, and it was a bit boring.
After the banquet is gone, it’s time to get down to business.
Du Wuji really couldn't hold himself back and spoke directly, "Zhenren Chen, everyone knows that the Haoran sect wants to be promoted to the sect. I still have some influence on the lower sects in the sect. Can we have a private discussion?"
The seventh shopkeeper immediately responded, "The wine prepared by Master Chen is really delicious. I'm a little overwhelmed right now, so I need to take a break first."
Without waiting for a response from both parties, he had already withdrawn and left. Otherwise, this person could stand out in the Jianbao Pavilion where there were many strong players. His ability to observe words and emotions was indeed remarkable.
Chen Taizhong glanced at Du Zhenren, sighed and shook his head, "Old Du, you have nothing wrong with you. You are just too self-righteous. Do you think I really care about a few subordinates?"
The corners of Du Zhenren's mouth twitched and he thought, "If you don't care, how can you agree to see me?"
So he answered simply, "I want to bring Master Chengxian back. The efforts that should be made will definitely be done. Master Chen doesn't have to worry about anything. Don't talk about these digressions."
The co-author thought that Chen Taizhong said this to gain the maximum gain by expressing his disdain.
"Look, you are self-righteous again." Chen Taizhong raised his hand and pointed at the other party helplessly, "What I said is not a digression at all. Is there a sect in Xuefeng Temple? Is there a sect in Qingyun Temple?"
"Ah?" Du Wuji was dumbfounded when he heard this. Xuefeng Temple and Qingyun Temple did not have any sects. He knew that, but the skills of those two schools were unique and had been passed down for a long time. Therefore, there were no sects.
Looking at Chen Taizhong's appearance, he knew that the other party was not lying and there were no outsiders at the moment. Is there any point in lying?
After being stunned for a while, he asked with hesitation, "Is this really true?"
"I can stretch out my hand and crush you to death. Is it necessary to lie to you?" Chen Taizhong smiled disdainfully, "To say you are self-righteous is an understatement. You don't have enough brains!"
"But..." Du Wuji waited for a long time before he spoke with difficulty, "But Qi cultivation is different from Xuefeng Temple and Qingyun Temple... Qi cultivation can have subordinates."
The inheritance of Qi Cultivation is also long-standing, and the techniques are also unique. However, Qi Cultivation is a major category of cultivators, and it is normal to include other subordinate sects. In the heyday of Qi Cultivation, there was more than one sect, and the subordinate sects under his command
Quite a few.
Chen Taizhong curled his lips disdainfully, "Does the Haoran Sect have any lower sects or sects?"
Du Wuji was immediately at a loss for words, and after a long time he sighed and said nothing.
"Do you regret it?" Chen Taizhong looked at him with a smile, his heart was extremely happy. He liked to see his enemy lose his face the most. "You shouldn't have provoked me in the first place, right?"
"Tsk," Du Wuji smacked his lips, then nodded heavily, and sighed, "Oh."
The other party directly guessed the nature of the conflict, so how could he deny it?
When Chen Taizhong saw that he didn't speak, he didn't speak either. He just looked at the other person with interest, admiring the disappointed expression.
"Oh, you are so self-righteous," Du Wuji sighed heavily again, "If I had known this would happen...why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Taizhong smiled, because he was annoyed by this bastard's logic, "Did you ask me beforehand?"
This is an unwarranted disaster, one that was asked for by oneself! When Du Wuji thought that he had strongly supported the Haoran faction, he regretted it, let alone mention it: the two families had been working very well together in the Netherworld.
If he had known the ambitions of the Haoran Sect earlier, why would he have done something unnecessary and added another enemy to our sect out of thin air?
However, fighting for subordinates is all done in the heart, and it is impossible to tell the truth in advance. He found a reason for himself, and felt a little better, "Then I am confused, so... what can I do?
Take Xiang Chengxian back?"
Chen Taizhong looked at him angrily and amusedly, "You ask me? You were the one who found me."
"I want to introduce a few subordinates so that you can communicate more," Du Wuji replied with a grimace.
Chen Taizhong did not answer, but looked at him calmly: You continue.
"Chengxian will definitely not agree to introduce the subordinates," Elder Du said with a sad face. He had already confirmed this from Xiang Chengxian's mouth, "He still has a bright future, and he still needs to cherish his feathers. I, an old man, have already
There is nothing left to cherish, so I will do this shameless thing, and I hope Master Chen will be considerate."
When he said this, his brows were lowered, as sad as he felt, as decadent as he wanted.
"Which of you is shameless and who is shameless is not important to me at all," Chen Taizhong interrupted his self-pity without politeness, "Want to take the person away? Okay, tell me what you can give."
In fact, he had no other purpose in arresting Xiang Chengxian than to make Wu Neng angry. As a result, Master Wu did not have strong desire to retaliate against him.
Thinking that the backup leader of the White Camel Sect was in his hands, it could be regarded as a warning to certain forces, so he did not deal with it.
Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago if he should have been killed, and let go if he should have been.
"I can introduce you to some resources from my subordinates." Elder Du really didn't prepare anything else, and Chen Taizhong would certainly be interested in the resources he could get his hands on, "How about... a geomagnetic energy stone?"
Now the entire Western Xinjiang knows that the geomagnetic energy stone is hard currency for the Haoran Sect, and is more useful than the spiritual stone.
Although this thing is useful to everyone, if you want to impress the Haoran sect, other things will not work.
"How many?" Chen Taizhong was really interested.
However, when he learned the specific amount, he lost interest. There wasn't much at all.
Du Wuji begged again, saying that he could guarantee that three subordinate sects would come to vote. He also said that with the addition of the Blood Spirit Sect, which you have a good relationship with, the Haoran Sect would have four subordinate sects. For a sect that was promoted to the sect for the first time.
, which is considered very face-saving.
Chen Taizhong was still not interested, but after much deliberation, he finally thought of something, "As my Haoran sect ascends to the sect, the area will definitely expand. Zhenyi Sect has also allowed me to have several counties. By then, the areas of the Haoran sect will be connected."
It’s one piece, there can’t be an enclave.”
"The subordinates who passed by have left it to me to coordinate." Du Wuji was really in a hurry and went to the doctor. Hearing this, he immediately patted his chest, "Where is it specifically?"
The corner of Chen Taizhong's mouth twitched, "This...where exactly it is, I haven't discussed it yet. I've been quite busy."
This is the case. The corners of Elder Du's mouth twitched. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Then shall I come to discuss with the sect?"
Chen Taizhong looked at him meaningfully, "Will you do your best?"
"I will definitely do my best," Du Wuji wanted to rip his heart out. He patted his chest and promised, "If you are not satisfied, I will go and talk to you again, as long as you are willing to authorize me."
Chen Taizhong smiled when he looked at him, "I didn't expect that when I was promoted to a subordinate, I would help negotiate for conditions. It's really... haha."
Du Wuji's face turned red when he laughed. This kind of thing was indeed quite strange, but the crux of the question was... did he have a choice?
After calming down, he spoke, "I'm in a hurry to rescue...take Chengxian away. If you want to laugh, that's up to you."
"You go ahead and talk," Chen Taizhong replied noncommittally. "Inform the sects involved to relocate as soon as possible, so as not to make everyone look bad."
Elder Du thought for a moment before replying, "Can we not relocate? I will be your subordinate."
For many sects, the foundation of the sect is more important than anything else. For example, the Lanxiang sect in the past and the Haoran sect now have been inherited for too long, and the roots are rooted there. Whoever cares about this area will recognize whoever comes and cannot move away.
of.
Of course, for those emerging sects that are still short-lived, this is not a serious matter. It is nothing more than finding a place to settle down, and if you don't like it, you just move.
Chen Taizhong thought about it and nodded reluctantly, "Try to let them move, but... you can also try and put the subordinates of other sects into my territory, and you can just sit back and watch the tigers fight.
.”
Du Wuji really had this idea in his subconscious to instigate other sects to fight with the Haoran sect, but he was frightened to death by Chen Taizhong. Hearing that the other party even said such words, he could only laugh dryly, "Of course I won't
Do this.”
Chen Taizhong smiled faintly, "Really?"
"Definitely not," Du Zhenren nodded in an unusually simple manner. He was already timid and had been warned, so how could he still dare to dwell on it?
After a pause, he spoke tentatively, "This will take some time. Can Xiang Chengxian go back during the negotiation? I can't lie to you anyway."
He really didn't dare to play any more tricks. It should be noted that Chen Taizhong was too strong now. If he went to Baituomen to block the door, there would be no problem at all. He only lacked a reason.
Of course, Du Wuji would not be so stupid as to take someone away and then give him a chance to get angry.
But Chen Taizhong didn't see it that way. He also knew that the other party should not dare to play any tricks, but if you touch your lips, you will take them away. How can anything be so cheap in the world?
"I don't like trouble very much," he said lazily, "Xiang Chengxian should stay here honestly for now. As for when he will go back...you should handle your affairs first, and then we can discuss it." (Unfinished)
