Xia Tianqiong remained silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "We have a common enemy. If you go to war with the Void Clan, I should help you."
The Silver Fir elder finally smiled, "That's good. We'll advance and retreat together, and those Void Clan won't be so scary."
"The Void Clan originally had eight generals, but now one is dead, one is seriously injured, and six remain."
If you and I join forces, even including the crippled Monkey Clan elder, we only have five of us. I'm afraid we can't defeat the Void Clan. By the way, didn't you say you also have elders in seclusion? How many are there?"
After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, before the Silver Fir Clan Elder could reply, the Monkey Clan Elder came over to refute him.
"You're the one who's crippled; I'm just injured and will recover quickly."
No one paid any attention to him.
The old man of the Silver Fir clan suddenly brightened up in his old eyes, as if he had thought of something.
“That’s right. The Void Clan only has six capable generals left. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Perhaps we should really give it a try.”
He wasn't saying this to Xia Tianqiong; he was talking to himself.
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan, standing nearby, excitedly said, "This battle is unavoidable, so let's fight them! Invite the elders who are in seclusion, as well as the cunning generals from other settlements, to come as well."
Before the Void Clan can react, a preemptive strike might be enough to wipe them out.
Xia Tianqiong was somewhat taken aback. Compared to the hesitant Silver Fir Clan Elder, this female clan elder was more decisive and direct.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan was also moved by these words and nodded repeatedly.
However, he then cautiously added, "This matter is of great importance. We need to summon the clan elders who are in seclusion and discuss it before making any further plans."
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan rolled his eyes, but said nothing more.
The three elders then dissolved their equal contract with Xia Tianqiong and hurriedly flew back, while Xia Tianqiong was a step behind.
He needed to find his men who had been thrown into the air by the explosion first.
They were taken into the mirror space and then given large amounts of ghost gold as a reward.
During this process, the burned ghost and the escaped Leng family ghosts also quietly returned and rejoined the group.
As soon as the Burning Ghost returned to the Mirror Space, it hurriedly asked, "Master, you didn't really kill Leng Manjin, did you?"
After all, he also shared the surname Leng, so he was somewhat worried about Leng Manjin, this younger generation.
Xia Tianqiong communicated with him telepathically, "Of course not, Manjin is recuperating in his own yard right now. You can go and see him when you have time."
When Xia Tianqiong attacked Leng Manjin with his palm, he used the power of reincarnation to send Leng Manjin into the body of the ferocious monster that collided with him.
If you didn't look closely from nearby, you'd think he'd been beaten to a pulp on the spot!
There were naturally some flaws, but the fighting was so intense that the three elders didn't notice what was happening there.
The burning ghost then asked, "What about Mr. Wang? How badly was he injured?"
Before Xia Tianqiong could answer, Old Man Wang spoke up himself.
"I was severely injured by you just a few days ago, and now you've faked a self-destruction, which is like adding insult to injury. I'm afraid it has damaged my very essence, and it will be difficult for me to recover!"
His tone was melancholic, with a hint of complaint.
The old woman in the shroud asked in surprise, "Are you seriously injured? I think the power of your explosion just now was about 30% less than last time, so it shouldn't have damaged your core."
Old Man Wang's trick is to compress space and then detonate it with a large amount of nether energy.
It looks very similar to the effect of self-destruction.
Moreover, at that time, there was a blood-red cloud that blocked his vision and senses. After he released the strange technique in the cloud, he entered Xia Tianqiong's body, which created the illusion of his self-destruction.
They completely fooled the three clan elders.
Old Man Wang snorted in dissatisfaction, "Whether the damage has affected the source or not, I know best myself."
"Alright, tell me, how much ghost gold do you need to restore it to its original state?"
Xia Tianqiong spoke up at the right moment, knowing that the old man definitely wanted more money.
Sure enough, Old Man Wang tentatively said, "Two hundred taels should be about right."
"How long will it take you to recover to your full fighting strength?"
"At least half a month!"
"No, I can only give you three to five days at most."
"Then it will have to be at least five or six hundred taels."
“You’re stingy. I’ll give you a thousand taels. Do your best to recover to your peak condition. A real life-or-death battle is coming up soon.”
"..."
Old Man Wang was stunned.
He was the last of the Ghost Generals to join. He knew Xia Tianqiong was rich, but he didn't know he was this rich.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Old Man Wang, you lost our bet!"
Old Man Wang was quite straightforward, and said with a faint smile, "Actually, I knew I would lose long ago, but I'm just taking this opportunity to give you a treasure."
"What treasure? Where is it hidden?"
"The location of the treasure in the Central Continent of the Ghost Realm is dangerous and quite far. Once you have more than ten Ghost Generals or even a Ghost King, you can retrieve that treasure. As for what it is, you will naturally find out then."
"Damn it, you old bastard, you're kidding me!"
"Of course not. You should know that I can't lie to you."
Xia Tianqiong didn't argue with Old Man Wang, but she did find that this seemingly respectable old man was actually quite cunning.
After this grand spectacle, the burned ghost, the old woman in the funeral clothes, and the bespectacled boy were all seriously injured and their fighting strength greatly diminished.
"The three of you will each receive one thousand taels of ghost money."
Xia Tianqiong treated everyone equally, without neglecting any one of them.
Upon receiving the Netherworld Gold, the four ghost generals were overjoyed and extremely excited.
The old woman in the funeral clothes seized the opportunity to praise, "The second fire has been lit, and your plan has finally succeeded."
