#320 - Don’t believe the King of France!
Liang Jin glanced at the so-called Profound Ice Snow Lotus.
Five years of cultivation?
That's a bit too little.
Liang Jin had previously consumed natural treasures that increased his cultivation by ten years, even thirty years.
As a result, these mere five years of cultivation seemed somewhat useless to him.
Liu Yuan whispered a reminder from the side:
"This Profound Ice Snow Lotus is a divine medicine of the Western Desert, extremely rare in quantity."
"This one in your hand alone would be difficult to buy even with a thousand taels of gold."
Liang Jin was somewhat surprised to hear this.
This Profound Ice Snow Lotus was actually so valuable?
However, Liang Jin also knew that the previous natural treasures he had obtained were all thanks to the system.
Products of the system, or those of the fifth rank guided by the system, were bound to be good things.
And although this Profound Ice Snow Lotus was a bit inferior to the system's items, it was probably already a rare divine medicine in this world.
Liang Jin couldn't help but glance at the Ox-Head Bright King.
This old Bright King was quite thoughtful in giving gifts.
What he gave to Liu Yuan was something her deceased father cherished.
What he gave to Liang Jin was a simple and crude rare item.
It seemed that everything this old Bright King was doing was for his son, Xiong Xiang.
Immediately, Liang Jin smiled and said:
"Thank you, Bright King!"
"Bright King, rest assured, Xiong Xiang is one of us when he's with us."
"We will definitely discipline and take good care of him."
Xiong Xiang couldn't help but snort again when he heard this, wanting to continue cursing.
But after the Ox-Head Bright King glared at him coldly, he could only shut his mouth.
The Ox-Head Bright King smiled and said:
"If that's the case, then this monk is relieved."
After saying that, he bowed again in farewell and then turned to walk towards the camp.
At the same time.
A voice suddenly rang in Liang Jin's ear:
"Benefactor Meng, do not trust the Dharma King's words."
His gaze turned to the back of the Ox-Head Bright King.
The Ox-Head Bright King was walking away.
But the one using sound transmission to speak secretly to Liang Jin was none other than the Ox-Head Bright King.
Liang Jin smiled wryly.
Did the Dharma King even know which side he was on?
However, in everyone's eyes, Liang Jin was on Ayina's side.
He was the Si Ha Li Kingdom's agent in the Western Desert.
The Ox-Head Bright King was reminding Liang Jin that although the Immeasurable Dharma King showed the intention of forming an alliance with the Green Garment Tower and Ayina, it was actually feigned!
There might even be other plans.
Liang Jin's eyes flickered for a moment.
This Immeasurable Bright King Sect was indeed seriously divided.
The Immeasurable Dharma King and his subordinate Bright Kings were not of one mind.
As for who was telling the truth between the two of them, Liang Jin didn't care at all.
Because his true goal was not the same as these agents at all.
"Let's go."
Liang Jin, Liu Yuan, and Xiong Xiang then began to walk towards their own camp.
They had only taken two steps.
Liang Jin felt a gaze focused on him.
He turned his head to look, and the gaze came from the Great Snow Mountain Sect's camp.
The Great Snow Mountain Sect's camp was on higher ground, and a figure was standing at the edge of the camp.
It was actually Cang Du.
Cang Du frowned, silently looking at Liang Jin.
Liang Jin also knew that all parties were now paying attention to him.
His sudden visit to the Immeasurable Bright King Sect must have been received by the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
Liang Jin then grinned at Cang Du and then left straight away.
When he returned to the camp, he discovered that there were too many people and things in the camp.
There were even a large number of people and horses moving items out of Hidden Wind Valley and into the camp, causing the camp to expand several times in size.
Obviously, these were all warriors who had newly joined the Green Garment Tower.
Yun Long quickly came forward to report:
"Mr. Meng, registration has ended today."
"There are a total of one thousand two hundred and thirteen people who have registered to join the Green Garment Tower."
"When everyone is gathered later, should we give a speech to everyone?"
Liang Jin was surprised to hear that so many people had joined, a whole thousand people.
But he also knew very well that there was a lot of fluff in these people.
In the days to come, there would probably still be a lot of people leaving.
But since they had already registered their names, then wanting to leave the Green Garment Tower would come at a price.
"Yun Long, have you told them the rules of the Green Garment Tower?"
"Those who leave the sect without permission will die."
Liang Jin asked.
Yun Long replied:
"Don't worry, Mr. Meng."
"I have already explained everything that needs to be explained."
"By the way, there are also some sect leaders requesting to see Mr. Meng, hoping to form an alliance with Mr. Meng's Green Garment Tower to jointly deal with this treasure hunt."
Liang Jin sneered disdainfully upon hearing this.
Alliance?
What qualifications did they have to form an alliance with the current Green Garment Tower?
If they had chosen to form an alliance earlier, then they could have shown their value, and Liang Jin might have agreed.
Now that the Green Garment Tower already had so many people and its momentum was strong enough.
Liang Jin no longer needed them.
Immediately, Liang Jin said in a deep voice:
"I will not see these people."
"You go and tell them, either join my Green Garment Tower, or play on their own."
Yun Long nodded, then he took out a thick stack of lists and handed them to Liang Jin.
"Mr. Meng, the top one is the list of new disciples who have joined the Green Garment Tower."
"The middle one is the list of warriors who have not joined the Green Garment Tower."
"The bottom one is the list of personnel from the three major forces."
"It can be said that the names or titles of more than 90% of the warriors gathered in Hidden Wind Valley have been recorded on it."
After Yun Long received Liang Jin's order to collect the list, he had been busy these days.
Originally, this task was quite arduous.
But with thousands of people joining the Green Garment Tower today, the work of collecting their names suddenly became easier.
So, after Yun Long's busy day, he finally came up with the results.
Liang Jin took the list and looked at it, satisfied:
"Good job, I'll remember this contribution."
Now that more than 90% of the people had been registered on the list, Liang Jin could let go and do things.
Even if there were a few who were not on the list, it was no longer important.
Yun Long continued:
"Mr. Meng, there is one more thing."
"The three major sects have agreed to negotiate with our Green Garment Tower."
"The time is at midnight tonight, and the location is in Hidden Wind Valley."
Liang Jin waved his hand upon hearing this, indicating that he already knew.
Yun Long then bowed and retreated to deal with this matter.
Liu Yuan had Xiong Xiang bring a large whetstone, she wanted to sharpen the knife that the Ox-Head Bright King had given her, which was almost broken into a saw.
The waist knife was so badly damaged that it was naturally impossible to restore it to its original state by sharpening alone, unless a blacksmith specializing in making weapons was found to repair it.
However, Liang Jin was too lazy to care about her.
He went straight back to his tent.
He wanted to consume the Profound Ice Snow Lotus to increase his cultivation.
Although five years of cultivation was a bit less, it was better than nothing.
Liang Jin sat cross-legged in the tent, consumed the Profound Ice Snow Lotus, and then began to concentrate on cultivating and digesting the medicinal effects.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.
Liang Jin had also finished digesting the medicinal effects of the Profound Ice Snow Lotus.
"My cultivation has indeed increased a bit."
"It has improved a lot from the mid-stage of the fourth rank, and if all my clones concentrate on hard cultivation for a few more days, I'm afraid I'll be able to enter the late stage of the fourth rank."
Liang Jin would never嫌多 too much when it came to all kinds of natural treasures.
"Should I try 'Mad Blade'?"
Liang Jin thought of the earth-grade saber technique he had just learned today.
But he still chose to give up.
Once "Mad Blade" was used, he would not recognize anyone.
Liang Jin wouldn't use it lightly without absolute certainty, otherwise, what if he accidentally killed all the people from the Azure Clothes Tower around him?
He only planned to try it on [Snake Mask] after finding a deserted place.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
At that time, even if [Snake Mask] couldn't suppress the madness of 《Mad Blade》, it wouldn't cause too many casualties.
Afterward.
Liang Jin began to enter the list.
He entered all the personnel lists that Yunlong gave him into [Thousand Mile Tracking].
An hour later, Liang Jin finally finished entering.
He just breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time.
Yunlong came to the outside of the tent and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Meng, it's almost time."
"Zi time is almost here."
Once Zi time arrived, it would be the time for the Azure Clothes Tower to negotiate with the three major factions.
For this negotiation, it was meaningless to Liang Jin.
But it was meaningful to the Azure Clothes Tower.
So Liang Jin still chose to participate in person.
So he got up and came to the outside of the tent, and called Ayina and Mo Dao Kuang.
Yunlong had already gathered all the new warriors who had joined the Azure Clothes Tower together.
The scene of thousands of warriors standing there was very spectacular.
When Liang Jin appeared, thousands of warriors shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Tower Master!!!"
With the shouts, everyone saluted Liang Jin in unison.
Liang Jin looked at the thousands of warriors, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.
It's easy to recruit a thousand people.
But it would be extremely difficult to recruit a thousand warriors.
But now, he has done it.
He could completely believe that if he let these thousands of people help him kill people, then he would soon complete the system's achievement of killing ten thousand people.
His power can be said to have suddenly risen to a whole new level today.
Liang Jin calmed down.
He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone! Today, we gather together to negotiate with the three major sects on the division of treasures. This is a major event concerning our vital interests and the rise and fall of the Azure Clothes Tower."
"The three major sects have always relied on their strength to bully the weak, and they vainly attempt to dominate the treasure. We stand up not only for profit, but also to break the injustice and seek justice for the warriors of the world. Now, the great wanderer Mo Dao Kuang has joined, and Miss Ayina of the Si Ha Li Kingdom has also helped, plus the unity of all of you, we have gathered into a powerful force, enough to stand against the three major sects."
"However, the road to negotiation must be full of thorns. How can the three major sects easily compromise, and they will definitely do everything possible to suppress and divide us. However, as long as we are united and uphold our firm beliefs, we will have nothing to fear."
"If the negotiation goes smoothly and the treasure is obtained, this will be our common glory. We will distribute it fairly according to the size of the contribution, so that every fellow who has contributed will be rewarded. Even if the negotiation is difficult, we must never retreat. No matter what the outcome, we must let the world know that the people of the Azure Clothes Tower have backbone, are responsible, and dare to declare war on injustice!"
"Finally, I hope that you will remain calm and rational, follow the command, and unite closely. Believe in yourself, believe in your fellow disciples, and believe in the Azure Clothes Tower!"
Liang Jin finished speaking.
His voice used sound skills, which could be clearly heard in the ears of every warrior.
These warriors shouted in unison to strengthen their momentum and courage.
Liang Jin listened to the earth-shattering cheers of the crowd, but secretly shook his head in his heart.
These cheers are too noisy.
There isn't even a unified slogan.
It's really a group of disorganized rabble.
In this regard, Liang Jin did not blame Yunlong.
Even if Yunlong is a famous general, it is not something that can be done in a day or two to make thousands of people strictly obey organizational discipline.
"Departure!!!"
Liang Jin ordered.
Then he walked at the forefront, leading everyone to the Hidden Wind Valley together.
Hidden Wind Valley.
Although it was already night at this time, the valley was already full of torches.
The people of the three major sects have also gathered here.
Of course, they are not just here for Liang Jin.
After these days of excavation, the abandoned mausoleum will be excavated soon.
It may be tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning.
At that time, the treasures in the abandoned mausoleum will appear in the world.
Therefore, the disciples of the three major sects gathered here to prepare in advance.
Of course, they also need to face a share of the pie from the Azure Clothes Tower.
I saw.
In the most open place in the valley, several tables and chairs have been placed.
The main leaders of the three major sects have already sat at the table, and only warriors with the fourth rank and above are qualified to sit at the table.
Ordinary disciples stood far away.
In addition to this.
There are also some small sects and some independent warriors.
These people originally accounted for the majority of the number of people in Hidden Wind Valley.
But as most of them defected to the Azure Clothes Tower, this made these people become a minority instead.
Therefore, they are not qualified to participate in this negotiation, and can only stand in the distance to watch the excitement, and are not even qualified to approach.
At this time.
Liang Jin led the people from the Azure Clothes Tower and slowly came to the scene.
Seeing this scene, Liang Jin raised his hand, signaling the others to wait in place.
Then, he took Ayina and Mo Dao Kuang towards the scene.
Three empty seats were also left at the table.
Although Ayina is only a fifth-rank warrior, she represents the Si Ha Li Kingdom, so naturally she has a seat.
Mo Dao Kuang's strength is unknown, but his reputation is there, and he also has a seat.
Needless to say, Liang Jin, as the Tower Master of the Azure Clothes Tower, of course also has his seat.
The three of them took their seats.
This negotiation can also begin.
The first to speak was a peak master of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
Liang Jin didn't know her name, but he had seen her in the tent before.
I only heard this peak master say in a deep voice:
"Azure Clothes Tower? I've never even heard of it. When did you become qualified to sit with our three major sects?"
"This what... Tower Master Meng, please take your people away quickly."
"Regarding the treasure, after our three major sects have arranged everything, we will leave you some leftovers."
"Retreat immediately, and I will think highly of you."
"If you continue to be shameless, you will make a fool of yourself."
The words of this peak master obviously represent the opinion of Bai Qiuying, the head of the Great Snow Mountain Sect.
As the head, Bai Qiuying considers himself to be a generation higher than Liang Jin, and the background history of the Great Snow Mountain Sect is also higher than the newly built sect of the Azure Clothes Tower.
So of course Bai Qiuying couldn't personally tear up the pretense.
Unpleasant words will be said by the peak master under his command.
Sure enough.
After this peak master finished speaking, Bai Qiuying and Cang Du both had calm expressions, quietly waiting for Liang Jin's response.
It's just that both of them looked at Liang Jin and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Two days ago, Liang Jin was only a younger brother in the eyes of the two of them.
But in the blink of an eye, Liang Jin was able to sit on this table, trying to sit on an equal footing with them.
They, of course, cannot allow it!
This is a matter of dignity!
Because how could they easily admit their mistakes?
Faced with those who tried to prove that they were wrong, they would naturally be angry.
Therefore, the Great Snow Mountain Sect was naturally the first sect to launch an attack on the Azure Clothes Tower.
