Lin Che followed Ji Wuhuan and landed in front of the huge forge.
This place is simply a military shipyard for manufacturing aircraft carriers. It is so huge.
Moreover, what surprised Lin Che was that he could clearly feel a stream of icy cold water flowing beneath the ground.
It seems that this is one of the reasons why the Divine Craftsman City was built here.
Lin Che looked up and saw that it was inlaid with glowing stones, illuminating the entire huge shipyard as bright as day.
There are many forging rooms inside, and there are many people waiting in front of each room. It seems that they are all here to seek magical weapons.
With Ji Wuhuan's guidance, they walked straight inside without any inspection.
It wasn't long before they arrived in front of a huge gate.
Lin Che had to admit that the forging technology here was both technologically advanced and aesthetically pleasing, just like the huge gate in front, which also looked a bit like a military gate.
In front of the gate, a group of monks were also waiting.
At a glance, there were hundreds of people. Judging from their hair and clothes, most of them were cultivators of the Tianyu clan.
“Fellow Daoist Lin Che—hahahaha, how are you?”
At this moment, a white-haired old man walked out from the crowd with a smile.
It was none other than Elder Jitai, whom he had met in the thousand-year secret realm before.
"Everything is fine. Elder, how are you?" Lin Che also greeted with a smile.
Jitai smiled and said a few polite words, then said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Ji'er, the Grand Elder of our Tianyu Clan!"
Ji'er was a harmless-looking old man with a slightly chubby belly and small eyes. He smiled and said, "I've been hearing about Fellow Daoist Lin Che for a while now, and today I finally get to meet him. We'll have a lot of collaborations in the future, so I hope we can keep up the good work."
Lin Che knew that the other party was talking about the one thousand cities. Retaking the cities was not going smoothly, and it seemed that the Tianyu Clan wanted to complain.
But Lin Che wasn't stupid. If the Tianyu Clan couldn't even take back a thousand cities, what was the point of coming?
The previous cooperation allowed the Tianyu tribe to protect him, but he didn't really pay anything in return.
"We really should travel more. Especially for those one thousand cities, we still need to rely on fellow Taoists from the Tianyu Clan."
Jitai interrupted, "We are indeed facing some obstacles now. I was thinking of discussing it with you."
Lin Che quickly cut him off: "No need to discuss this with me. Just follow what we agreed on. You, the Tianyu Clan, will reclaim one thousand cities, and five hundred of them will be yours."
No one present was stupid, so they immediately understood the meaning of Lin Che's words.
The task of retaking the city still fell on the Tianyu Clan, and Lin Che didn't want to give in at all.
All of a sudden, Jitai and Jier seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Are they supposed to admit that they are indeed somewhat powerless against the Heavenly Dao Alliance? Or should they simply abandon the city they have finally acquired?
"I say, do you still have any shame? Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Suddenly, a young woman next to them couldn't help but say a few words in a sarcastic tone.
Although she didn't look at what Lin Che said, everyone was silent at that time, so when he spoke, everyone heard it.
Lin Che frowned immediately and looked at the woman. She was pretty, but her face was typical of someone who was very critical.
"Wuxian! Don't be rude!" At this time, Elder Jitai scolded in a deep voice.
Ji Wuxian, however, didn't give Ji Tai any face at all. Instead, he folded his hands and said coldly, "I didn't say anything wrong. How was I rude? I'm polite to people who deserve it, not to people like him who take advantage of me and act like a spoiled brat."
Lin Che didn't want to endure it anymore. She originally thought that less trouble is worse than more. Since Ji Tai scolded her, she just let it go.
But Ji Wuxian became even worse.
Lin Che said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about me? If you have any objections, why not be direct and speak clearly!"
Elder Jitai wanted to stop him, but Ji Wuxian took two steps forward, almost confronting Lin Che. She said coldly:
"Okay! Since you want to hear it, then there's nothing I can't say. I know everything about you. Finding the Hunyuan Emperor Weapon in the Millennium Secret Realm was indeed a bit of luck. But you must first understand that the reason you were able to enter the Millennium Secret Realm was because our Tianyu Clan gave you the opportunity."
"Without us, the Tianyu Clan, you wouldn't be able to enter. You wouldn't even be worthy of hearing this once-a-millennium feast. We gave you a chance and personally took you to the entrance of the secret realm. When you offended the Tiandao Alliance, we, the Tianyu Clan, were the first to stand up and protect you."
"I'm telling you these are all facts, right? Without our Tianyu Clan, you wouldn't be able to take even ten Hunyuan Emperor Weapons. Everything you have is because of our help, and in the end, you only gave us such a small thing. Don't you think you're being ungrateful? How dare you come here? How dare you ask us to recapture those cities? Humph!"
Lin Che finally understood. It turned out that the other party thought it was too little.
Moreover, looking at the attitude of the Grand Elder Ji'er who remained silent, it was obvious that even this Grand Elder thought so.
Ji Wuhuan, on the other hand, angrily said, "Shut up! That was our agreement, it was consensual. Stop disgusting people here and ruining the reputation of our Tianyu clan."
"Yo yo yo! When you left the Sky Feather Clan and headed for the human world, why didn't you care about the Sky Feather Clan's reputation? Now you have the Time Sand, and you've benefited from it. Of course you said that, but what did all of us get?"
When Ji Wuxian spoke, many of the cultivators around him nodded. Although they didn't say it explicitly, their expressions showed that they agreed.
Ji Wuxian continued, "In my opinion, without our quota, you alone as a human race wouldn't be able to get anything. If this quota belonged to one of us, then we would have found the Hunyuan Emperor Weapon ourselves. Why would we give it to you?"
"However, we of the Tianyu Clan don't seek repayment for favors. Since it has already happened, let's not dwell on it. But you need to replenish our treasures."
Lin Che was so angry that she almost laughed. She never thought that there was someone who could be so shameless.
And you're asking for a favor? What kind of favor is that?
However, Lin Che also wanted to know what other outrageous words Ji Wuxian could come up with!
"Oh? If you put it that way, what else do I need to supply you with?"
"Hmph! 'Replenish' isn't a good word. It should be returned. You should return two thousand of the Time Sands to us. You should also give us eight thousand of the ten thousand swords. As for the quota for training at the Divine Sword Mountain of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, you only need to keep one. The rest will belong to our Tianyu Clan."
"Oh, and the most important thing is, those one thousand cities. How could the cities you gave us still be occupied? You have to conquer them and return them to us, only then will it count."
"Don't worry, as long as you do it, our Tianyu tribe will still be your strongest backing!"
