C790 Negotiations
"Boss, no!" The first to react was Qing Yu. She nervously held Feng Yimo's hand. "Boss, if you go to see the demon beasts, they will definitely eat you!"
"That's right, boss. Don't do anything stupid!" Lone Wolf also tried to persuade him.
Feng Yimo waved his hand and walked in front of Elder Ji, Elder De, and Elder Bei. "At present, there is only one way to go. Does everyone have a better way?"
Elder De admired Feng Yimo's courage, but he did not agree. Just as he was about to speak, Elder Ji glanced at him and said, "Tell me your plan!"
"I went to see the commander of the demon beasts alone and discussed with him honestly. I told him that the secret of opening the treasure is in our hands. If they don't agree, even if they seal off the path to the treasure, they won't be able to obtain the treasure. Only by cooperating with us will they have a chance. I think he will agree." Feng Yimo said calmly.
Elder Ji narrowed his eyes. "How do you know we have a way to open the treasure? Also, are you sure they will agree?"
"Hehe, this is a simple question. If there is no way to open the treasure, I think Elder Ji and Elder Pang will not risk their lives. If I'm not wrong, those demon beasts are not from this world. They are the demonic beasts of Demon Realm. It was impossible to return empty-handed. Most importantly, we have stayed here for such a long time. The fact that they haven't come over shows that they've allowed us to exist. They are waiting for us to find them. Feng Yimo spoke frankly.
Elder De, Elder Bei, Elder Feng, and the others all nodded. They felt Feng Yimo's words made sense.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought about this question, but the key was who would become the messenger. If they made a mistake, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den. They wouldn't be able to return. No one was a fool. Naturally, they didn't want to stand out.
Now, everything was fine. Someone stood out. Unfortunately, it was Liu Duansheng. His appearance made all the cultivators feel ashamed.
"Your idea is not bad." Elder Ji nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, who else is willing to go with Liu Duansheng?"
The scene was completely silent. All the cultivators were looking at their noses, noses, mouths, and minds, and they were like old monks that had entered a meditative state and were silent.
"Boss, I'll go with you!" Lone Wolf was the first to stand out and shout.
"Me too!" Hsu Mu continued.
"Count me in." Qing Yu did not want to be outdone.
Feng Yimo's eyes turned red. At the crucial moment, they were still brothers. This was not a sightseeing trip, but a negotiation among hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts. If they were not careful, they would die without a burial.
"Alright, the three of you, stop arguing. I alone will be enough to deal with it. All of you just stay here obediently and listen to Elder De's words!" Feng Yimo said and gave Elder De a fist salute. "Leave them to Elder De."
"Alright, don't worry. I will ensure their safety." Elder De said solemnly.
Feng Yimo left the cave alone and walked towards Duzhuo Mountain under Lone Wolf and the others' gaze. His back was so lonely and majestic.
"This kid is a character. If he can cultivate, his future will be limitless!" Elder Bei praised.
Elder De deeply agreed.
Elder Ji sighed in his heart. Such a figure couldn't escape the fate of dying in the treasure. The Zixia Mountain wouldn't let anyone else know the secret of the treasure and leave alive!
Everyone was looking at Feng Yimo with both worry and anticipation.
...
Feng Yimo had just obtained important information from Elder Ji's mind.
The reason why he said "the secret of opening the treasure is in our hands" was to let Elder Ji think about the opening of the treasure. This way, he could successfully capture the thoughts in Elder Ji's mind with the Great Wisdom Eye.
Sure enough, Elder Ji was taught the way to enter the cave by State Sovereign and Huo Junshan. He also gave him a brocade pouch and told him that only after entering the first trial would he be able to open it. If he couldn't even pass the first trial safely, he would ask everyone to withdraw and stop exploring.
All the secrets were in Elder Ji's hands alone!
After grasping Elder Ji's secrets, the next step was to convince the demonic beasts.
He believed that the person who was able to command so many demonic beasts was not an idiot. At the same time, he felt that that person also wished for humans to find him.
Because no matter how powerful the demonic beasts were, they would not open the treasure vault. If the treasure vault above the Duzhuo Mountain could be broken by brute force, it would not exist for so long. Huo Junshan had been planning for more than a thousand years.2
"Roar!" A colorful tiger leapt in front of Feng Yimo, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Its eyes were filled with an ominous glint, as if it wanted to swallow Feng Yimo whole.
"On behalf of the humans, I want to make a deal with your commander!" Feng Yimo said fearlessly.
Tiger Demon was stunned. He thought to himself, "Why is this human not afraid of me? Is it because I am too kind?
"Roar!" The tiger demon roared again. Its sharp teeth were all bared. Its pair of big eyes were full of ferocity. Its front claws revealed sharp claws. It seemed like it was going to pounce on it.
Feng Yimo clenched his right fist and struck the tiger demon's head. The tiger demon's huge body was immediately sent flying dozens of feet away. "Go and find someone among you who can make the decision. I don't want to waste time!"
The tiger demon trembled. After landing on the ground, it turned around and ran. However, the other demon beasts didn't want to do it. They roared and surrounded Feng Yimo in the middle. Each of them glared fiercely at Feng Yimo and wanted to charge forward and tear him apart.
Elder De, who released the Green Bee Bird, told everyone what he saw. Everyone was worried for Feng Yimo.
"Humph, you are quite bold. You dare to cause trouble for our clan's chief. Are all of you humans so bold and reckless? Do you not know the difference between life and death?" A thunderous voice sounded. Hu Fei's tall figure appeared in front of the tiger demon, and he sent it flying with a kick. "Useless thing, scram to the side!"
The tiger demon whimpered as it ran away with its tail between its legs.
Because Hu Fei appeared, none of the demonic beasts present dared to act rashly.
"You are the commander here?" Feng Yimo asked suspiciously. He could tell that the transformed demon in front of him was a Ninth Level Demonic Beast, an existence comparable to a Tribulation Crossing Period old monster. Moreover, judging from the behavior of all the demon beasts, they were very afraid of the big man in front of them.
"That's right. The chief of the family is the person in charge here. If you have anything to say, you can tell the clan chief!" Hu Fei said casually.
"Alright, I will represent the human race to negotiate with you. Together, we will explore the treasures in the cave of Duzhuo Mountain!" Feng Yimo said seriously.
"With just you? What right do you have to explore the treasure with us? With our clan leader's hundreds of thousands of troops here, if you all go up the mountain, where will you be able to excavate the treasure? You all think too highly of yourselves! Hurry up and get lost! "While the clan head is in a good mood, I won't bicker with you!" Hu Fei boasted shamelessly.
