"Wow, what a spectacular sight! And it seems the temperature has warmed up a bit too."
Standing on the Xuanjia Sword, Xiao Chen felt the surrounding temperature and couldn't help but shake his head. Cultivators have extremely delicate perception of the environment, and he could feel that the temperature had warmed up quite a bit.
Although the temperature has only warmed from minus fifty degrees to minus forty degrees, this is a trend, meaning that the Earth will probably soon return to temperatures above zero.
Who knows what might happen then?
The Xuanjia Sword's temperature rises rapidly; in just two and a half minutes, Xiao Chen traversed several provinces and arrived at the mountain city where Qin Bajiao was located.
Xiao Chen had previously visited the Nine Fire Sect in the city where Qin Bajiao lived.
"Hey, do you think our Nine Fires Sect's cooperation with the Earth King's Mansion will go smoothly this time?"
In front of a tall and magnificent building, two women stood guard at the gate, and in their spare time, they spoke curiously.
"I don't think so. After all, the Earth King is arrogant and relies on the fact that they have weapons of mass destruction. Given our sect leader's personality, I doubt we can reach an agreement."
One of the women shook her head as she spoke, while the other nodded in agreement.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
Just then, a magnetic voice came from the side. The two women looked over and prepared to fight, but stopped when they saw that it was Xiao Chen.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Clearly, this was how the people of the Nine Fires Sect addressed Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen didn't care and instead asked curiously.
What were you talking about earlier?
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but recently people from the Earth King's Mansion have come to our Nine Fires Sect to discuss cooperation. Today, the Earth King himself came to the sect to discuss cooperation with the sect leader."
One of the Nine Fire Sect members quickly told Xiao Chen everything he knew, which surprised him.
In his memory, this Earth King was named An Xing, the former Governor of the Mountain Province (the governor was changed to governor). Shortly after the apocalypse, he awakened earth-based superpowers, which allowed him to manipulate the power of rocks, making him incredibly powerful.
However, some people speculate that An Xing may have unknowingly awakened a special ability, but all of this is just speculation and cannot be verified.
"Okay, I understand. I'll handle this. You guys keep a close watch and make sure no zombies get in."
After saying that, Xiao Chen walked into the Nine Fires Sect, leaving only the two people standing guard, their eyes full of stars.
Clearly, everyone in the Nine Fires Sect knows Xiao Chen and holds him in high esteem. After all, their sect leader is so strong, how could Xiao Chen be weak?
Inside the Nine Fire Sect's main hall, a righteous-looking man sat in a chair, his fingers tapping incessantly on the table, while Qin Bajiao sat in the main seat, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Clearly, the collaboration was making her feel somewhat conflicted.
"Sect Master Qin, I've already given you a lot of face. All you need to do is send half of your Nine Fires Sect's people, and you'll get 40% of what we get this time."
At this moment, the man finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke, his eyes constantly darting over Qin Bajiao. Clearly, he was a dying man.
Feeling the other person's gaze, Qin Bajiao felt a surge of disgust and said coldly, "Lord An, you should go back. Your attitude displeases me, so I will not cooperate with you."
Before An Xing could speak, one of his trusted confidants sitting next to him angrily said, "Hey, Sect Master Qin, do you know who's sitting in front of you? It's no exaggeration to say that if this person just opens his mouth, wiping out your Nine Fires Sect wouldn't be difficult at all!"
Qin Bajiao was about to get angry when she heard this, but An Xing spoke first.
"Sect Master Qin, I was being willful. I apologize to you."
After saying that, An Xing slapped his subordinate across the face. Seeing this, Qin Bajiao was too embarrassed to say anything more.
An Xing then continued.
"Sect Leader Qin, are you really not going to reconsider? If we were to take out all the resources there, it would probably be enough for our two major forces to use for a very long time."
Before Qin Bajiao could say anything, Xiao Chen, who had just arrived, interrupted her.
"I don't think there's any need for cooperation."
Upon seeing that it was Xiao Chen, Qin Bajiao's face lit up with joy. She then looked at An Xing and said coldly, "In that case, there is no need for us to cooperate. Mr. An, you may go back."
An Xing was very unhappy about Xiao Chen's sudden appearance, but he could also tell that Xiao Chen's status in the Nine Fires Sect was probably not low, otherwise Qin Bajiao would not have shown such an attitude.
"May I ask who this gentleman is?"
An Xing smiled and looked at Xiao Chen, asking him a question.
"I don't think I need to explain this to you. I have a quirk: I don't talk to insignificant people, so as not to lower my own status."
Xiao Chen's words made An Xing's face twitch, but after remembering that this was the Nine Fire Sect and not his own territory, he suppressed his anger and said...
"Sect Master Qin, I hope you will reconsider this matter. After all, there are many things in that place. If we can acquire them, it will be a good thing for both of our families. So please think it over again. Let's go."
After saying this, An Xing led his men away from the Nine Fire Sect. The people of the Nine Fire Sect naturally did not stop them and could only let An Xing and his men leave.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Chen walked up to Qin Bajiao and asked curiously. Qin Bajiao rubbed her temples wearily, stretched, and showed off her perfect figure. Xiao Chen was only attracted for a moment before looking away.
Just kidding, I'm tired of seeing it all.
"I'll stop here for now. It's been so long since we last met, I've been missing you."
After Qin Bajiao relaxed, she gave Xiao Chen a seductive look.
"Fine, if you want it, then come on."
Xiao Chen had never been afraid. If Qin Bajiao wanted it, then let her have it.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder; after being apart for almost half a month, the trip became even more enjoyable.
After the battle ended, Xiao Chen asked again, "Now you can tell me what An Xing wanted to see you about?"
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, a hint of weariness flashed in Qin Bajiao's eyes, and she then told him about the matter An Xing had asked her to discuss.
After hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown.
