Chapter 1007: Chapter 630: Negotiating with the Eight Wasteland Fire Dragon! (4K)_2

“Mmm, mmm, mmm.”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon nodded expectantly.

After so many years, it finally saw hope of escaping.

Oh heavens, oh earth, I’m finally leaving this cursed place.

The ancestors were inclined to help the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon break the seal. Firstly, to align with the Primordial Goddess’s arrangements; secondly, to drive away the indigenous like wolves against tigers, and maybe even use the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon to rescue the trapped Su Clan ancestors.

Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi eagerly looked at Lu Changsheng.

Although Lu Changsheng wasn’t the highest cultivator here, he had vaguely become the final decision-maker.

His decision influenced everyone’s final actions.

Seeing the hope of rescuing the Su Clan ancestors, Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi were already moved.

As long as the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon is released, with its power, it could definitely defeat the indigenous people.

After all these years, the indigenous must have discovered the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s presence, and the fact that it’s still alive indicates that its strength is greater than the indigenous people of this Ancient Star.

“Hold on.”

Lu Changsheng’s words calmed everyone down.

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s excited heart skipped a beat.

What’s this pesky kid up to now?

“This is just one side of its story and hard to believe. Although the Primordial Goddess is a legendary mighty existence, her cultivation far surpasses ours; however, her era passed countless years ago, full of great variables. How could she predict today’s events? What if the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon concocted such a reason to deceive us in order to escape? Wouldn’t we be fooled then?”

Lu Changsheng’s steady character made him question the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s claims.

Never trust a stranger you’ve just met, especially when it’s a dragon.

“That’s right, this is just the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s own story, and we almost got duped.”

“Seems like we can’t let the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon go, or we might become the immortal realm’s eternal sinners.”

“Who would have thought the notorious Eight Desolation Fire Dragon to be so cunning.”

The ancestors chattered and decided not to release the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.

“Roar—”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon roared furiously to the sky, spewing out terrifying pillars of fire, scorching flames seeming to collapse the firmament, the fire meteor even more terrifying.

This brat, daring to ruin its plans.

It hadn’t felt so angry in a long time.

The indigenous people didn’t dare to stay longer, exchanging thoughts secretly, and began retreating without knowing what was said.

It seemed these indigenous people weren’t entirely fearless.

If they angered the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, they would be doomed.

“The indigenous left; we should leave quickly too.”

Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected that angering the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon would scare off the aggressive indigenous people.

Now, Lu Changsheng and the others could continue their escape.

Lu Changsheng, for safety’s sake, was determined not to release the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, lest it turn back and kill them.

In Lu Changsheng’s view, the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was as dangerous as the indigenous people.

“Okay.”

The ancestors summoned Flying Swords, ready to leave.

However, Su Yun and Su Xiaoqi were worried.

Even if the indigenous people left temporarily, they would surely return once they left the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s territory, and they would be hunted again.

And their parents, the ancestors, were still trapped by the indigenous people’s Great Formation.

Without borrowing the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s power, they knew they couldn’t rescue the Su Clan ancestors.

Lu Changsheng could sense their worries.

Ordinary methods indeed couldn’t save the Su Clan ancestors.

To rescue the trapped Su Clan members, there was only one choice—to borrow the power of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.

But he couldn’t easily agree to release the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.

So, Lu Changsheng was gambling.

He was betting that the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon would make concessions.

“Wait, you can’t leave.”

After its anger subsided, the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon saw that Lu Changsheng and his party intended to leave and became even more anxious.

It couldn’t afford for them to leave.

“What are your terms? For freedom, I can agree to one condition.”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon saw Lu Changsheng frequently leading the discussion and realized that Lu was the final decision-maker, so negotiating with him would suffice.

“Kid, no wonder you don’t believe in the Primordial Goddess’s arrangements. Is this your plan?”

The Lin Clan Ancestor, Jiang Clan Ancestor, and Guanghan Palace Ancestors all understood Lu Changsheng’s intentions at that moment.

Actually, Lu Changsheng already believed seventy to eighty percent of what the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon said about the Primordial Goddess.

He only pretended not to believe, accusing it of being one-sided words from the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon to secure a more advantageous position in negotiations.

The Guanghan Palace Ancestors increasingly admired Lu Changsheng.

In their eyes, Lu Changsheng resembled the son-in-law of Guanghan Palace, and the better he performed, the brighter the future of Guanghan Palace.

Lu Changsheng finally revealed his cards: “I heard the Old Dragon Emperor defeated the chieftains of Dragon Clan’s tribes, unified the Dragon Clan, and signed a Dragon Clan Blood Oath with them. As long as you take a blood oath with me agreeing to eighteen conditions, we can break the seal and release you.”

How many?

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s eyes widened.

This kid was indeed asking for too much.

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon originally intended to agree to one condition, not expecting Lu Changsheng to demand eighteen!

For a Dragon King of Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s status, it was no less than surrendering lands for peace!

“Eighteen is too many, at most two conditions.”

“No way, at least seventeen.”

“How about three?”

“Three is too few, I’ll compromise to sixteen.”

“Four at most.”

…

The Guanghan Palace Ancestors and Tai Hua Sacred Land Ancestors were speechless as they watched the legendary Eight Desolation Fire Dragon haggling over conditions like an old lady in the market.

Only Lu Changsheng could make it behave like this.

“This young man faces the fearsome Eight Desolation Fire Dragon with such calmness and ease that he even negotiates with it effortlessly. Our Tai Hua Sacred Land has hope of becoming a top-notch immortal realm sacred land in the future.”

“He’s also one of our Guanghan Palace people.”

“He’s a disciple cultivated by our Tai Hua Sacred Land, so naturally, he is closer to us.”

“Why not let him marry into our Guanghan Palace? We can provide him with the best cultivation resources.”

“Don’t even think about it; how can a dignified man marry into a woman’s family?”

The ancestors from Tai Hua Sacred Land and Guanghan Palace began arguing.

They all saw Lu Changsheng’s great potential, especially his calm demeanor when facing a powerful entity.

Truthfully, Lu Changsheng was internally anxious beyond belief.

If the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon realized he was misleading it, it might incinerate him with Divine Fire in an instant.

“Seven conditions, no more, or I’d rather continue sleeping!”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, irritated by Lu Changsheng, bluntly stated its bottom line.

“Deal.”

Lu Changsheng decisively concluded the negotiation.

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was an Ancient Dragon King, just as humans needed dignity, so did dragons. They couldn’t press it too hard, or they might lose everything.

“Phew…”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon snorted, smoke swirling, finally satisfying this human brat.

Wait a second…

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon felt as though it had been duped?

Seven whole conditions!

The conditions set by a being of its stature were invaluable!

“Your conditions can’t be too excessive.”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon knew that once a Dragon Clan Blood Oath was established, it must be fulfilled.

If Lu Changsheng demanded an oath effectively leading it to self-destruct, how could the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon fulfill such a pledge?

“The first condition: if we release you, you cannot kill or harm us.”

Lu Changsheng’s first condition ensured the safety of his group.

“I can agree, but only limited to this place. Otherwise, once back in the Immortal Realm, if we become enemies, and I can’t touch you, wouldn’t I be at your mercy?”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, meticulous as ever, continued to bargain.

“That’s fair.”

“Second condition, help us rescue the Su Clan ancestors.”

“This Dragon King agrees, now quickly list all your conditions.”

The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon suddenly realized how numerous these conditions were becoming?
