"No need for now. He's already having a lot of headaches dealing with things in Lingzhou. Leave this to me. You may leave now." Ancestor Ziling shook her head and refused.
"OK."
Knowing his own insignificance and lack of influence, Li Shenhai wisely left the main hall.
“Saint Ancestor Ziling, I never expected it to be you. Recently, your territory was seized by the Giant Spirits and their group. I thought you had already perished,” Saint Ancestor Yuansha said in surprise.
"Even if you didn't perish, so what? Now you're in a human sect, and you're likely to become a lackey of the human race. It seems you were seriously injured back then," Yuan Luo Saint Ancestor mocked.
The Giant Spirit and other Holy Ancestors were unaware that Bai Xuan was dead and still harbored illusions about the Tree of Life.
They have only seized the territory of the Purple Ling Saint Ancestor, but have not revealed the secret of the Tree of Life.
In the Demon Continent, if a Holy Ancestor dies or is injured, his territory is likely to be seized.
Without any real power, a holy ancestor would never have any territory.
Even if there are so-called territories, they are likely to be barren lands.
“You don’t need to worry about my affairs. I’ve come here to make a deal with you,” Zi Ling said.
"Do you think you're qualified to trade?"
Yuan Sha Saint Ancestor coldly said, "The person behind us is Saint Yuan Ancestor. Now that you are all alone, what do you have that we can trade?"
"You are a Demon Ancestor after all, yet you are willing to trade with us for the sake of a human. To be honest, you are not worthy of being a Demon Ancestor at all," Yuan Luo Ancestor mocked.
"You should still call that human to come out and hand over the Xuan Tian Ling Bao. You should know about the Xuan Tian Ling Bao here, so I won't beat around the bush." Ancestor Yuan Sha didn't want to waste any more words.
"Once you see what I have in my hand, you won't say anything like that."
Zi Ling prepares to use the Tree of Life to resolve this crisis.
"You still have treasures on you? Are you sure you're not joking?" Yuanluo Saint Ancestor mocked.
“If you truly possess a priceless treasure, why would you have fallen to this state?” Yuan Sha Saint Ancestor said disdainfully.
Zi Ling ignored the two of them and took out the Tree of Life.
She held a small tree about half a foot tall in her hands. The tree was lush and green, exuding a strong sense of life.
"The Tree of Life!!"
Yuanluo Saint Ancestor and Yuansha Saint Ancestor exclaimed in unison.
Neither of them expected that the Holy Ancestor Zi Ling possessed the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life ranks first on the Xuan Tian Ranking and holds special significance for the Demon Race.
The two arrogant patriarchs remained silent for a long time.
"If you possessed the Tree of Life, how could you have ended up here?" Ancestor Yuan Sha couldn't believe it.
“Take a close look at this Tree of Life. This is not the one that the Treasure Flower Ancestor owned, but a sapling.” Ancestor Yuanluo noticed the clue.
"No wonder you were chased here by the Giant Spirit Ancestor and others. It turns out you obtained the sapling of the Tree of Life."
"The Giant Spirit Ancestor was once a Saint Ancestor under the Holy Primordial Ancestor. He didn't even tell the Primordial Ancestor about the Tree of Life. He really deserves to die."
Yuan Sha and Yuan Luo were quite satisfied with the Tree of Life and did not mention the other Xuan Tian Ling Bao again.
Even if that Xuan Tian Ling Bao ranks second, it still can't compare to this Tree of Life.
Unable to control his greed, Yuanluo Saint Ancestor wanted to take the Tree of Life from Ziling's hands.
Zi Ling was already on guard and skillfully dodged Yuan Luo Sheng Zu's sneak attack.
“I’ll use this sapling of the Tree of Life to gain the cooperation of the Holy Ancestor and help Huangfeng Valley defeat the major sects of Lingzhou. What do you think?” Zi Ling took the initiative to distance herself from the two of them.
“If you hand over the Tree of Life to us, we can guarantee that we will not covet it again. As for your question about facing the various sects of Lingzhou, please don’t even mention it. No matter how powerful our Holy Ancestor Yuanyuan is, he cannot possibly fight against the entire Lingzhou by himself.” Yuansha Holy Ancestor refused.
"Since we can't fight against the entire Lingzhou, you have to compensate me in other ways. I want 100 million top-grade magic stones," Zi Ling changed her mind.
She said that on purpose so that it would be easier to negotiate the price later.
“One hundred million top-grade magic stones are too many. I can only give you thirty million at most.” Ancestor Yuanluo shook his head and refused.
The Holy Ancestor controlled many territories, and the monthly income from these territories alone amounted to millions of top-grade magic stones.
However, taking out 100 million top-grade magic stones in one go would be a huge financial burden.
“Thirty million top-grade magic stones are too few; I will not agree to that,” Zi Ling refused outright.
"Thirty million top-grade magic stones is the limit. There isn't a single more. If you don't obediently hand over this Tree of Life, you might not even get the thirty million top-grade magic stones you mentioned," Yuanluo Saint Ancestor threatened.
"You need to understand who's the butcher and who's the fish. You can't negotiate the terms. If you don't hand them over obediently, don't blame us for robbing you outright," Yuan Sha Saint Ancestor coldly snorted.
“I knew you would do this. If you don’t give me a hundred million top-grade magic stones, I will have my trusted confidants left on the Demon Continent spread the word that your Holy Ancestor obtained the Tree of Life.”
Zi Ling chuckled and said, "Since the Holy Ancestor couldn't withstand the siege of the various sects in Lingzhou, he should be able to withstand the siege of the other four ancestors."
“You…” Yuan Luo Saint Ancestor was furious.
"One hundred million top-grade magic stones are too many. The Ancestor asked us to bring quite a few top-grade magic stones with us this time. How about we add another fifty million top-grade magic stones?"
"It's still a bit too little."
"If you feel it's really not enough, we'll send you more when we return to the Demon Continent."
...
After some haggling, Zi Ling agreed to 50 million top-grade magic stones.
The idea that Yuan Luo and the other two holy ancestors could go back and make up for it is simply impossible.
It's better to be realistic and take whatever you can get right now.
"I have fifty million top-grade magic stones in this storage bag. You can check it." Ancestor Yuanluo took out a storage bag.
Zi Ling took the storage bag that was thrown to her and checked it, but found nothing unusual.
"If the inspection is correct, then give us the Tree of Life," Yuan Sha Saint Ancestor urged.
"In the end, I still couldn't hold on to it." Zi Ling felt very reluctant.
She obtained the Tree of Life from a secret realm, and only after nearly dying there did she manage to retrieve it.
Despite all the twists and turns, Zi Ling still couldn't hold on.
In fact, she could have been more selfish and let Yuanluo Saint Ancestor and Yuansha Saint Ancestor pressure Han Feng to hand over the Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure in their hands.
Few people know about the Tree of Life in his possession, so he can remain completely invisible.
However, considering how much Han Feng had helped her, she couldn't bear it and took out the Tree of Life.
Just as the two were about to complete the transaction, a figure appeared in front of Zi Ling.
"Han Feng!!"
Zi Ling was surprised.
