Murong Fan paused, then continued, "Regarding the matter of the Old Ancestor, the entire Murong family feels deeply saddened and remorseful.
But please, in light of our sincere repentance, grant the Murong family a chance to reform.
This time, I bring not only countless resources but also the Murong family's commitment to the future—we will fully support you in fighting against the Demon Race and jointly safeguarding the peace and tranquility of the Profound Light Continent."
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a playful smile. He looked at Murong Fan with a smile that was not quite a smile, and said, "I have received the Murong family's sincerity, but whether the sincerity is enough remains to be seen through your actual actions.
As for your Old Ancestor, he is indeed in my hands now, but you can rest assured about his safety. Although I, Li Chengfeng, am not a saint, I will not harm anyone without a reason."
Hearing this, Murong Fan's expression changed unpredictably. He finally understood that the Murong family's plan had completely failed.
Not only had it not achieved the desired effect, but they had also been caught red-handed.
The Old Ancestor's soul was of utmost importance to them. In the chaotic situation of the human world, they still needed to rely on the Old Ancestor's soul for guidance.
But now, the Old Ancestor's soul had fallen into Li Chengfeng's hands.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Li, let's not beat around the bush. Everyone knows what's going on.
In this world, it's the law of the jungle. If you're not strong, many people will covet you.
So, I don't think the Murong family's choice back then was wrong, it's just that they lacked foresight.
Now that you stand at the same height as us, or even higher, we humbly come to beg you.
This is the way of the world. I don't have the ambition and scheming of Gongsun Haiming; I'm just being realistic. I hope you can give me a chance."
Li Chengfeng looked at him and said with a smile, "Indeed, you are an honest man.
I like what you said, it's all about the survival of the fittest.
If I, Li Chengfeng, didn't have so many men and forces, I would have run away long ago. How could I have the capital to negotiate with you?
Why did I build up my own power? It's to sit at the negotiating table and talk to you fairly.
Without these forces, I probably wouldn't even have a chance to get to the table."
Murong Fan nodded and said, "That's absolutely true.
So, Lord, please tell me your requests. If I can make the decision, I will. If I can't, I'll go back and call a meeting to discuss it immediately."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I, Li Chengfeng, am not a bloodthirsty person."
Hearing this, Murong Fan shuddered inwardly, thinking, "You're not a bloodthirsty person? You wiped out the entire Gongsun family and built a tower of heads. How cruel is that?"
However, the tower of heads was indeed effective. Now, no one dares to provoke Li Chengfeng.
The Murong family will also obediently come to apologize with thorns on their backs because they don't want to become the second Gongsun family.
Li Chengfeng continued, "I can give your Murong family a chance. Just prepare the resources according to the list above.
If you haggle, then our cooperation is off the table. If you do well, I will not only return your Old Ancestor to you but also help him reincarnate, because only I in the world can do that."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fan's heart skipped a beat. He knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly said, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely report this back."
He finally got the list, which Li Chengfeng had prepared long ago in this jade slip.
Murong Fan took it and scanned it with his divine sense, almost fainting. The things on this list were simply going to strip the Murong family of a layer of skin! All kinds of natural treasures, obviously good things, Li Chengfeng wanted them all.
However, this was not something he could decide. He took the list, turned around, and disappeared into the sky.
Li Chengfeng immediately ordered, "From now on, the White Tiger Legion will use this place as its base camp. This will be the main camp of the White Tiger Legion."
Qingyang looked proudly at the huge mansion and laughed, "Ten thousand years have passed, but I didn't expect the current cultivators to not only not have declined but become stronger and stronger.
A junior is so knowledgeable. Although the new waves push the old, rest assured, with the White Tiger Legion in my hands, no one in the entire gathering place will dare to invade! Whoever dares to provoke me, I will uproot them!"
His words were full of confidence and heroism, obviously with a high evaluation of his own strength and means.
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Qingyang hurriedly said, "Haha, now that I know your methods, I think you really suit my heart.
If my sister had been like you before, this world would probably have a different scene."
Li Chengfeng led everyone into the main hall of the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family, because they left in a hurry, had no time to destroy it, and no one dared to destroy it.
Wouldn't that be openly opposing Li Chengfeng? If these people dared to destroy even a blade of grass or a tree here, Li Chengfeng would definitely not let them go.
Li Chengfeng convened an important meeting. He knew that the Evil Dragon Clan, as an alien race, had a status and future that needed to be resolved urgently.
If something unexpected or accidental happened to him, the Evil Dragon Clan might become the target of public criticism, which was also the biggest concern of the New Dragon Clan.
At the meeting, Li Chengfeng showed his deep foresight and decisive decision-making.
He elaborated on his new plan in detail, including how to allocate resources, how to ensure the status and future of the Evil Dragon Clan, and how to deal with possible changes.
He promised that if the human world could not let them stand one day, he would take them to other realms to create a new world.
Li Chengfeng's words were full of confidence and determination. He said, "I already have a new plan. After all, the human world cannot ascend. If you want to ascend to the Spirit World and seek breakthroughs, you must go to other realms and use the ascension channels of other realms.
Now, I have almost finished studying the inter-realm altar, and I already have some clues about the coordinates. I am only waiting for my plan to be completed, and everyone will benefit."
Hearing this, everyone was excited, and the Evil Dragon Clan was even more enthusiastic.
They knew that Li Chengfeng never broke his promises. His reputation was here. He could fulfill ninety percent of what he said.
Moreover, the inter-realm altar was not unfamiliar to the Evil Dragon Clan. They themselves came here from the Evil Dragon Realm. Couldn't they go from the human world to other realms and then choose other channels to ascend? This was very feasible!
Li Chengfeng first painted a beautiful future for everyone, and then left here, because the Soul Huntress had an appointment.
With a thought, the three thousand forbidden cultivators and Long Tianqi entered his River of History.
Li Chengfeng paid attention to stability in everything he did. Although the other party was considered an ally, if something unexpected happened, he had to ensure that he could respond at any time.
He had to be able to fight if he wanted to fight, and escape if he wanted to escape. He had to have many means. This was also why he first put the three thousand forbidden cultivators and Long Tianqi into the River of History.
