After Lu Qing'an returned to his residence, he immediately added several layers of defense. What he had to do next was to wait for the demons to come.
Just after he finished the arrangement, Murong Qingming suddenly sent him a message to inform him that he had found the two materials needed for the formation, both of which were provided by the Xianjian Sect, but he needed to negotiate with them.
Furthermore, he claimed that Zhao Dezhu had guessed that the Demon Hunting Formation was not the work of Li Ming, and that it was clear who had done it. He also assured Zhao Dezhu that he had not revealed this to him.
After hearing this, Lu Qing'an understood the specific meaning.
The so-called negotiation was nothing more than Zhao Dezhu and his group wanting the Demon Hunting Formation. Actually, it wasn't difficult to guess that he was the one who came up with the formation structure. After all, he was the only one in Panlong City who was special enough.
Unfortunately, he did not want his formation to be spread, otherwise his original formation structure would easily be thoroughly studied by some top formation masters in the fairy world.
It will inevitably lead to many subsequent troubles.
The best thing to do is to confess at the last moment and pretend that this is all a scam, a trick to trick the demons into showing up.
So, Lu Qingan said in a voice transmission: "Bring them to my residence."
Not long after the voice transmission ended, Murong Qingming brought Zhao Dezhu to Lu Qingan's residence.
"Fellow Daoist Jia, I heard from Fellow Daoist Murong that you need two special materials to set up the 'Demon Hunting Array'. To be honest, we happen to have them. I killed a demon many years ago and happened to keep his corpse. And the spirit body you need, my junior brother has it." Without waiting for Murong Qingming to speak, Zhao Dezhu looked at Lu Qing'an with a smile.
Lu Qing'an smiled calmly and said, "This is truly a coincidence. The Immortal Sword Sect is willing to do its best to help Panlong City eliminate the demons. This is truly a blessing for the city. Fellow Daoist Murong, on behalf of the countless lives of Panlong City, you should thank the fellow Daoists of the Immortal Sword Sect!"
Knowing Zhao Dezhu's purpose, he knew how to negotiate.
That is to stop considering yourself as a person from Panlong City.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. No matter whether he is pretending to be someone else or the real situation, he is not from Panlong City. Although he does not want Panlong City to fall, it does not mean that he will sacrifice too much personal interests for Panlong City.
After hearing this, Murong Qingming and Zhao Dezhu were both stunned for a moment, and the negotiation words Zhao Dezhu had prepared in advance also stopped.
Murong Qingming took a deep breath and followed Lu Qingan's words, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, on behalf of all the living beings in Panlong City, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your help."
The corners of Zhao Dezhu's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said with a brave face: "To be honest with you two fellow Daoists, although the corpses of demons are not rare, this spirit body is the most precious thing of my junior brother, and its value is insignificant."
Lu Qing'an nodded in understanding, "We naturally understand this. Fellow Daoist Murong, you in Panlong City must find other ways to express your gratitude to the fellow Daoists of the Immortal Sword Sect."
"......." Murong Qingming couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
You guys are more thoughtful than me.
Murong Qingming said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, if you have any requests, Panlong City will definitely do its best to meet them. The most important thing right now is to set up the formation as soon as possible."
Zhao Dezhu said solemnly, "This formation is crucial to our Xianjian Sect's future efforts to eradicate the demons. If this formation proves successful, I hope you two fellow Daoists will teach us the formation or how to set it up."
Although these words were spoken to Murong Qingming, they were actually a request to Lu Qingan.
Murong Qingming then looked at Lu Qingan and asked, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Jia?"
Lu Qingan sighed and said, "This formation is the result of many years of research and all my life's efforts are put into it. This request makes me very embarrassed."
Murong Qingming secretly complained in his heart: That’s not what I said last time!
He also said that he figured it out by himself...
"I understand what you mean, but I hope you will consider the future of the human race and not care about your personal interests. If this formation can be completed, there will be no place for demons to run rampant in the human territory!" Zhao Dezhu suddenly bowed to Lu Qing'an, and decided to use that set of righteousness to bind Lu Qing'an.
Lu Qingan responded calmly, "Fellow Daoist Zhao has such a broad mind, which is truly admirable. However, I am just a casual cultivator, and I don't have the ambition to care about the people of the world. I only care about petty gains."
Don’t try to blackmail me morally. I have no morals, how can you blackmail me?
Zhao Dezhu was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and his expression was a little dazed.
How different this was from what he had imagined!
And this conversation just ended like this? ?
Seeing this, Murong Qingming knew that further discussion would be futile, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "Why don't we wait until the formation is set up before discussing this matter? The most urgent task is to eliminate the demons in Panlong City!"
Lu Qingan nodded and said, "Yes, it's still unknown whether this formation will work. We'll make plans after it's properly arranged."
Zhao Dezhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's discuss this after the formation is set up."
Although Zhao Dezhu had originally come to negotiate, he ultimately reluctantly handed over the two materials without receiving any tangible benefits. However, he knew full well that no amount of words would be of any use at this point; the real negotiations would have to wait until the formation was successfully deployed.
After all, Lu Qingan did use their things to set up the formation. Unless Lu Qingan could dismantle the formation after it was successful and return the consumed items to them intact!
After Lu Qing'an took the materials, he politely sent Murong Qingming and the others away, and at the same time he had a plan in mind.
"I set up the formation, so how could I not make more preparations? As long as I slightly change the structure of the formation, I can still return the item to you after use."
Lu Qing'an raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking that as long as he didn't use the formation publicly, even if he was forced to hand over the formation manuscript, he could just hand it over directly after making some minor modifications.
