Chapter 200 Let’s Talk About Cooperation Again
While one side was jubilant, the other side was filled with worry and sorrow, because the demon-sealing formation set up by Hu Qi and his men had run into problems again.
The Demon Sealing Array, as the name suggests, is used to seal the demons. Note that it is a seal, not a destruction. The reason why it has the function of killing demons is because of the superposition of the Wind Blade Array and the Purple Thunder Talisman. The Purple Thunder Talisman was drawn by Zhong Ling'er when she comprehended the magic of thunder, so this is not an ordinary Thunder Talisman, but a Purple Thunder Talisman, which only Zhong Ling'er can draw.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The small tower is the one that really plays a role. It collects all the demonic energy into the tower and brings it to the Canghai Pearl. Therefore, after the monsters enter the array, they are cut to death by the wind blades and shattered into countless pieces by the divine thunder and cannot be gathered together again. Finally, they are transformed into demonic energy and are sucked away by the small tower. Therefore, the monsters in the magic-sealing array will disappear soon.
But Master Hu, who copied the homework, did not understand the principle. Yes, he understood the formation and could set it up, but he used ordinary thunder talismans and did not have the secret operation of the small tower. The demon-sealing formation could only prevent the demonic energy from leaking out but could not take it away. When the wind blade weakened and the talisman became ineffective, the full demonic energy would nourish a powerful monster.
When Hu Qizhen and his men were setting up a demon-sealing array at the second location, the demon-sealing array at the first location exploded again, and two combined monsters ran out. Fortunately, there were protection arrays and teleportation arrays, and there were only three hundred people, so there was no crowding like the first time, and everyone was evacuated quickly. But this also meant that their hard work for two or three days was all in vain.
This time, no one believed Master Hu's words anymore, and no one was willing to cooperate with them anymore. Zhong Ling'er had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and here they were confident, but they had tried twice and both ended in failure. Even a fool would know what to choose.
Moreover, they could not wait any longer. Zhong Ling'er and her allies had been ahead of them for several days. If they continued to make efforts, all the benefits would become theirs.
This time, led by Patriarch Bai and True Man Tianming, True Man Wuchen was invited to sit together to discuss matters of cooperation.
If Zhong Ling'er were here, she would probably see at a glance that these people were determined to not give up until they achieved their goal.
A group of people praised, begged, threatened, and used moral blackmail. In short, they appealed to the emotions and reasoned with the people. Some played the villain, some played the hero, and some tried to smooth things over. In short, they used all the methods they could, but in the end, they only got a few words from Wu Chen Zhenren: "You have to listen to Ling'er on this matter."
Tian Ming Zhenren didn't understand, and pointed at Wu Chen Zhenren and shouted, "Master Wu Chen, as a master, can't you be the master of your disciple?"
Wu Chen Zhenren looked aggrieved, "It's not a question of whether to make the decision or not. It's useless for me to promise you. The jade talismans for entering are all on Ling'er. The ones she left for us are the ones for casual cultivators."
"Also, she said early on that she was the only one who set up those formations. No matter how fast she is, her speed is limited and she can't supply everyone. Therefore, she only cooperates with those who are sincere. She doesn't want to associate with those who are against her, including those who are fence-sitters."
Everyone's breathing held, especially those who had signed the contract and then went back on their word. They wanted to slap themselves in the face for ruining a good hand.
Master Wu Chen took out the Palm of the Universe and when he saw that it was Zhong Ling'er looking for him, he quickly connected them.
"Master, how many groups of independent cultivators do you have? I'll finish them all. I don't have enough talismans, so I need to go back and draw some. Also, ask Uncle Five to help me prepare some formation bases!"
Wu Chen Zhenren looked at the people in front of him and chuckled, "Ling'er, there are still about a hundred groups of independent cultivators. You should come back and take a rest. Don't be too tired. Oh, Tian Ming Zhenren and his men hope to cooperate with us. What do you think?"
"Master, I can't set up the formation that quickly. There are just enough people at the moment. Any more would be redundant. Let them figure it out on their own."
Zhong Ling'er cut off the connection. Master Wu Chen spread his hands, put on a helpless expression, and then went out to run errands for his little disciple.
Many people began to complain with dissatisfaction. They did not dare to find fault with Master Tianming, so they pointed their spearheads directly at the head of the Bai family and Master Hu. If they had not said that they could replicate Zhong Ling'er's formation, they would have cooperated with Zhong Ling'er long ago, and the situation would not be like now, with either the death of disciples or the waste of resources, and most importantly, the waste of time.
Patriarch Bai and Patriarch Zhu went straight to the point, saying that they were the ones who wanted to cooperate because they were greedy for more favorable conditions. They did not force or beg anyone to sign, and they were responsible for their own choices.
The quarrel ended in a quarrel where everyone left in a bad mood and the alliance was completely broken up.
But they did not just let it go and each went their own way. Wu Chen Zhenren was often dragged away to drink tea and had to fill his stomach with water every day, which was really miserable.
Of course, drinking tea is secondary, the main thing is giving gifts, but Master Wu Chen only drank tea and dared not accept the gifts, which made Zhong Linger, who knew about this, stamp her feet with heartache, and felt that several small goals had slipped away from her sight.
"Master, you can accept this gift. The battlefield is so big that we will definitely need their help. We will have to form an alliance sooner or later. I just want to break up their alliance to avoid causing trouble for us in the future."
Master Wu Chen smiled helplessly. Even though he understood what his young disciple meant, it was not his style to return the favor after receiving favors from others.
Seeing that Master Wu Chen refused to give in, many people went straight to Zhong Ling'er, the most anxious person among them was Master Hu.
After studying Zhong Ling'er's formation again, Master Hu racked his brains but couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. Why didn't the same formation work in his hands? So, he decided to find Zhong Ling'er to ask for clarification.
Zhong Ling'er looked at the demon-sealing formation he had set up, turned around and said, "Your talismans are different from mine. Mine is the Purple Thunder Talisman, and yours is the Thunder Spirit Talisman. The killing power of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder on monsters is not comparable to that of ordinary thunder magic."
Master Hu let out a long sigh and said that it was not his problem. He knew the formation but did not understand talismans, which was not his strong point.
Afterwards, several lobbyists stood in front of Zhong Ling'er. The heads of the Xuanyuan and Qi families, as well as Zhenren Taixu and Zhenren Xuancheng, persuaded her for a long time. Finally, Zhong Ling'er agreed to sit at the negotiation table and talk more.
"You don't want me to cooperate with the entire cultivation world, do you? Even if I dare to agree, do you dare to believe it?"
Zhong Ling'er's first words struck everyone's soul. Yes, there is only one Zhong Ling'er and no matter how strong her abilities are, they are limited. She cannot cooperate with everyone present. So whoever gets the opportunity depends on their own abilities.
Zhong Ling'er looked at the people in front of her. The head of the Gu family had a flickering look in his eyes, and he was very worried. This included True Man Tianming, who also had a hint of urgency in his eyes. And True Man Mingyuan, his whole face was full of bitterness, which really made people feel happy.
