1306 Potential Allies, We Wonât Know Until We Talk (2)
Zhou Shu looked helpless.
Mu Zhixing was really persistent.
But he was quite particular. After returning to the ancestral land for so long, he had restrained himself and didnât do anything overboard to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique.
Speaking of which, it was about time to end things with Mu Zhixing.
âCome in,â Zhou Shu said.
A moment later, Mu Zhixing walked in with a smile and said familiarly, âYour Highness, what amazing connate divine weapon did you forge this time? Can you broaden my horizons?â
He was also very interesting. He was clearly here for the Freedom Transformation Technique, but he acted as if he was just here to chat.
âMu Zhixing, listen carefully to the last part of the Freedom Transformation Technique,â Zhou Shu said calmly.
Mu Zhixing was delighted, and his expression became serious. âIâm ready.â
Of course he was ready!
He had spent so much effort to come to the ancestral land for the Freedom Transformation Technique!
He had been waiting for this day.
Zhou Shu didnât mind and continued, âMu Zhixing, I can impart the last part of the Freedom Transformation Technique to you now, but I have a condition.â
Mu Zhixing patted his chest. âYour Highness, tell me. As long as you ask, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire.â
âThereâs no need for you to go through mountains of blades and seas of fire. Furthermore, mountains of blades and seas of fire canât hurt you at all,â Zhou Shu said angrily.
With Mu Zhixingâs strength, how could mountains of blades and seas of fire hurt him?
He must have heard this term from some book and used it randomly.
Mu Zhixing smiled awkwardly. âItâs the meaning that counts.â
âMy condition is very simple. I want to meet someone in power in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom,â Zhou Shu said solemnly. âOr rather, someone who can make decisions in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.â
âYour Highness, you want to form an alliance with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?â Mu Zhixing quickly understood. He shook his head and said, âYour Highness, although I really want to agree, I have to tell you the truth.
âItâs useless. Itâs impossible for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance with the ancestral land.
âYour Highness, weâve spent so much time together. Iâm telling you this because I treat you as a friend. Otherwise, I could just take the Freedom Transformation Technique and casually introduce you to someone.â
Mu Zhixing said with a serious expression, âBut I canât lie to my friend. Your Highness, if you want to form an alliance with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, youâd better give up on this idea because itâs impossible.â
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing.
He wasnât sure if Mu Zhixing treated him as a friend, but he was certain that Mu Zhixing wasnât lying about one thing. It was impossible for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance with the ancestral land.
âWhy?â Zhou Shu asked.
âYour Highness, isnât it obvious?â Mu Zhixing said.
âFive Leaves Bloomed on One Flower. Back then, the worlds were separated because their ideals were incompatible. To put it bluntly, it was because their Daos were different. Be it the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom or the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, they were not friends of the ancestral land. At best, the people of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom have calm personalities and are unwilling to fight. Otherwise, just the battle of the Great Dao was enough to make them fight to the death.
âItâs already good enough that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom isnât helping the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. If you want the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to help you deal with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, forget it.â
Mu Zhixing looked very sincere.
From his current performance, those who didnât know better would think that he was really Zhou Shuâs friend.
âAll I know is that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âI think itâs not impossible for the ancestral land and the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to form an alliance.â
Mu Zhixing asked, âThen, Your Highness, what benefits do you think the ancestral land can give the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom? Arenât you afraid that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wants more than the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?â
His words hit the nail on the head.
Thatâs right. There were indeed no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.
But the problem was that the ancestral land might not be able to afford the benefits that the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wanted.
âIf we donât talk about it, how will we know itâs impossible?â Zhou Shu continued, his expression remaining unchanged. âWhether we can negotiate or not is my business. No matter the outcome, I wonât blame you.
âMy condition is for you to introduce me to someone who has the final say in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, or can you represent the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?â
Zhou Shu stared at Mu Zhixing without blinking.
Now, he could naturally tell that Mu Zhixing wasnât an ordinary person.
How many times could an ordinary vanguard escape from the second most powerful person of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom? And how many times could he make that person of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Zhan Jingtao, look miserable?
If an ordinary vanguard of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom had such strength, how powerful was the Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
That was simply impossible.
Mu Zhixing shook his head. âI canât represent the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. I can only represent myself. If you insist, whatever I say will become my deliberate obstruction.
âBut Your Highness, thereâs no spatial rift between the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the ancestral land. If you want to go to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, you have to pass through the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.â
Mu Zhixing pondered and said, âYour Highness, you should know the current situation of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Itâs not that easy to enter and exit the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom nowâŠâ
âItâs not that easy. But I believe you have a way,â Zhou Shu said.
Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly. âYour Highness, have you misunderstood something? Although I, Mu Zhixing, am a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, my strength is really average. Otherwise, I wouldnât have lost to you, right?
âDidnât I risk my life to come to the ancestral land to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique? Why do I want it? Itâs because Iâm not strong enough and want to increase my strength.â
Mu Zhixing said so much, but Zhou Shu didnât believe a single word.
Mu Zhixing might really not be as strong as him on the surface, but his true strength was definitely more than that.
One had to know that Zhan Jingtao was the second strongest person in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. His strength was truly at the Nomological realm!
If Mu Zhixingâs strength was only superficial, no matter how many dharma treasures he had, it would have been impossible for him to trap Zhan Jingtao.
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. âMu Zhixing, letâs not beat around the bush. I donât care who you are or how strong you are.
âI only have one condition. If you agree, Iâll immediately impart the rest of the Freedom Technique to you.
âIf you donât agreeâŠâ
âAlright, Your Highness, youâve already said so much. What else can I say?â Mu Zhixing said helplessly. âBut Your Highness, letâs be candid here. I can introduce someone to you, but the extent of the negotiation is not something I can control.
âAlso, I want the Freedom Transformation Technique first!
âWithout the Freedom Transformation Technique, Iâm not confident that I can pass through the current Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!â
Mu Zhixing gave a dignified reason.
âI believe you,â Zhou Shu said calmly. âI can give you the Freedom Transformation Technique. Moreover, after you obtain the cultivation technique, you can leave.
âBut no one can take away my things for free. You should know that even if the ancestral land is extinct, if I donât want to die, no one can kill me. Even if you escape to the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, I will definitely be able to find you.â
Zhou Shuâs tone was calm, but his words made Mu Zhixingâs heart turn cold, and the hair on his back stood on end. âYour Highness, do you not trust me, Mu Zhixing? I will never go back on my word! Even if I lie to anyone, I wonât lie to you.
âUnless I die, I will definitely complete your request. I will bring someone who can make decisions from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to talk to you.
âIf I canât do it, you can do whatever you want with me. I definitely wonât say anything!â
