Chapter 1257: Luring Fish to the Bait (1/2)
It was definitely tougher to converse andering cultivators, in no small part due to their sensitivity An offhand coht solicitation for their allegiance These great e up in resistance
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh at the reaction “Do you live inside my head? How do you knoant you to join Sacred Peafowl Mountain?”
“Isn’t that the case?” The man’s voice was cold
“Of course not You h to invite all of you together rather than talking to you individually if I wanted to recruit you” The young rinned “That would work a lot better, wouldn’t it? Plus, there’s reat emperors here Even if Veluriyam Capital had the a soto our abilities I’m not that foolish, I assure you”
His speech assuaged the hostile attitudes soht If he wanted to persuade the wandering cultivators to join, a more private and personalized approach would have been much more effective What need was there tolike that was put into the open, a single voice of opposition would evoke a chorus of defiance It was coelse in reat eardless of what he now thought “What bargaining chip are you talking about then?”
What was soreat eth and wealth The only other thing that came to mind was spirit stones Was it truly possible to buy the Pinecrane Pill with spirit stones alone?
Jiang Chen cast a sidelong glance at the defiant e Instead, he turned a thoughtful gaze upon E “Senior Hui, my Pinecrane Pill needs neither spirit stones nor cole instance of your help”
“Helping just once?” E’s eyes were impenetrable “How?”
“Simple I would like your help in an hour of need,” explained the young lord
“Who’s your opponent?” The emperor’s heart thuht now Would you agree to so Chen bea to declare war on Pillfire City, young lord Zhen?” Eree to that The wandering cultivator world has never participated in inter-faction conflict, and we have no intention of disturbing that balance If I may put it more plainly, Veluriyaether Doing so is painting a target on your back”
The e wandering cultivators onto participating in the destruction of a faction was one of the greatest taboos in the cultivation world It would unquestionably cause backlash from all factions, possibly even panic The other factions would gather together in a coalition for self-preservation, the tip of their spear fir Chen wasn’t about to engage in such an ill-advised scheme
“Do you think I lack a brain, Senior Hui?” The young lord chuckled “If I’ war on Pillfire City, then I’ll do it with honesty and frankness I won’t do so by the hand of wandering cultivators There’s no glory and every sha an underhanded tactic like that”
“Then what do you propose?” E couldn’t understand it
“The help I want isn’t to attack some faction In fact, I’ll only need your help within Veluriyam’s own territory”
Within Veluriyam’s own territory?
The proposition instantly sounded a lot s ht denizens frorand sche in an attack on Pillfire City was one thing, but defending Veluriyam Capital was quite another The former was invasion, and the latter was justified self-defence The nature of the tere night and day
“Is it really that easy?” The emperor looked back at the youth in disbelief
In response, Jiang Chen tossed the Pinecrane Pill in his hand at Eo blank, but instinctively caught the pill
“What do youlord Zhen?” The eesture
“Old Brother Mo has mentioned you many times to me, Senior Hui He says that you’re one of the rare peers that he admires His adhtfully yours Consider it my respect to you We can talk about a deal later on, yes?”
The senior emperor was a little e cultivator world were like this If he was displeased by soe his mind But if he was showered with kindness, favors, and praise, he would find it much harder to refuse a future invitation
E was that kind of person He found the Pinecrane Pill in his hand to be strangely hot
