Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2528: Chapter 826: Negotiation, Hidden Motives! (Part 3)

If not for the fact that he regarded the East Emperor’s successor and his shocking strength, he would definitely have fought a battle with Lu Changsheng!

Otherwise, wouldn’t that make it look as if he were afraid of him!

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor took a deep breath and continued, ”If Daoist Friend has any other conditions, you can state them directly!”

”This deity was originally in seclusion cultivating in the Great Dream Marsh; your Seven Sects of the Ocean came again and again to disturb me and shattered my peace.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly for a moment, then spoke up: ”Coincidentally, this deity is preparing to change locations for secluded cultivation, so I’ll use the Fu Hai Sect’s territory as compensation.”

Although he could still open his leonine mouth and demand more.

But asking for more territory now was meaningless to him.

After all, territory required someone to sit in town and garrison it.

Demanding the Fu Hai Sect was also because he wanted to borrow the Fu Hai Sect to seal off the Great Dream Marsh.

And to use the Fu Hai Sect as a springboard to prepare for advancing into the Starry Sky Sea in the future.

Aside from that, he was currently breaking through to Nascent Soul and needed a Fourth Rank cave mansion as an emergency measure, to be used for cultivation and breakthrough.

”The Fu Hai Sect!?”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor’s heart jolted fiercely; he hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to actually demand the Fu Hai Sect as compensation.

His heart first surged with anger, but in the next instant, surprise.

After all, he had been fretting over having no time to probe into Lu Changsheng’s background and situation.

Worried that the other party would come without a trace and leave without a shadow.

Yet unexpectedly, the other party actually demanded the Fu Hai Sect as a spirit land.

As long as the other party dared to cultivate in seclusion in the Fu Hai Sect, he could then lay down a Heaven-and-Earth Net, summon his true body, and annihilate him!

For a moment, the Sea Suppressing Ancestor almost couldn’t wait to agree immediately.

But having lived so many years, he still knew that matters like this absolutely could not be allowed to be seen through by Lu Changsheng; in a deep voice he said, ”Daoist Friend’s appetite is a bit too big, isn’t it?”

”My Seven Sects of the Ocean took thousands of years to establish such a foundation, and with just one word Daoist Friend wants to split off one sect’s territory!”

While the Sea Suppressing Ancestor spoke, not only was there a trace of anger in his tone, but the Mana of his Nascent Soul Middle Stage surged continuously, forming a terrifying spiritual pressure that made even the air seem to solidify.

”Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to waste time; let’s show our true skill with our hands!”

Although Lu Changsheng had already consumed more than half of his Tianyuan Lotus’s Mana and his current state was ordinary, he still acted extremely forceful and domineering.

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror trembled above his head, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism; in his hand, the Nine Tribulations Sword’s endless sharp Sword Qi flowed as he was about to strike at the Sea Suppressing Ancestor.

”Daoist Friend, wait a moment!”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor immediately raised his hand and shouted, placing the deep-blue turtle shell horizontally in front of him as endless waves swept around.

”If Daoist Friend wants the Fu Hai Sect as compensation, this old man can agree, but there is one condition.”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor stared at Lu Changsheng before him, his eyes full of anger, unwillingness, and regret.

Then he said somewhat weakly, ”As long as Daoist Friend agrees, I am willing to use the Sea Suppression Sect as compensation.”

Lu Changsheng looked levelly at the Sea Suppressing Ancestor, motioning for him to state his condition.

”That is, in name, the Fu Hai Sect still belongs to my Seven Sects of the Ocean; Daoist Friend may order them as you wish, and even all subsequent profits will belong to Daoist Friend.”

”As long as Daoist Friend can agree, I am willing to use the Seven Sects of the Ocean as compensation to offer to Daoist Friend.”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor’s voice carried a few hints of age, exhaustion, helplessness, and pleading.

”Heh, that’s quite the nice little abacus you’re working.”

Lu Changsheng let out a cold laugh and said, ”Since that’s the case, this deity also has one condition.”

”This deity only needs a spirit land for secluded cultivation; not only will I not move against your Seven Sects of the Ocean, but if your Seven Sects of the Ocean encounter trouble in the future, this deity can even lend a hand.”

”But the previous compensation must be supplemented with one more Infant Transformation Elixir!”

Hong Lian was currently at Core Formation Peak and preparing for Nascent Soul.

But the two Infant Transformation Elixirs in his hands had long since been used up.

Although according to his son Lu Quanzhen’s information, Shi Hai True Monarch had one in his possession.

But without any token as a medium, even as a Fourth Rank Divination Master, trying to find the whereabouts of a Nascent Soul True Lord was incomparably difficult.

And as a top-level power in the Starry Sky Sea, if the Seven Sects of the Ocean’s Treasure Vault had not even one or two Infant Transformation Elixirs, there was no way Lu Changsheng would believe it.

Since that was the case, Lu Changsheng planned to use this opportunity to demand one Infant Transformation Elixir from the Sea Suppressing Ancestor to help Hong Lian assault Nascent Soul as soon as possible.

”That’s impossible!”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor spoke out loudly at once.

He was willing to give up the Fu Hai Sect because he wanted to use the Fu Hai Sect to tie down Lu Changsheng, thereby winning time to scheme and wait for his true body to arrive.

But as for the Infant Transformation Elixir, his Seven Sects of the Ocean didn’t have many either.

Especially now that Pinghai Monarch, Fu Hai True Monarch, and the True Monarch of Fury Sea had all fallen, he had to cultivate new Nascent Soul Cultivators.

”Since you have no sincerity, then there’s no need to waste time.”

The pupils in Lu Changsheng’s eyes glinted with cold light; he acted extremely domineering, making a move the moment there was a disagreement.

”Wait, what Daoist Friend said about helping my Seven Sects of the Ocean out of trouble—is that the truth?”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor asked with difficulty in his tone.

Though the Infant Transformation Elixir was precious, compared to the East Emperor’s inheritance and the prestige of the Seven Sects of the Ocean, it was still worth it.

However, in his heart he was puzzled: Lu Changsheng had already broken through to Nascent Soul, so what did he want an Infant Transformation Elixir for?

Could it be for the City Lord of the Great Dream Immortal City? Or perhaps a wife, disciple, or children?

If this person had such soft spots as a wife, disciples, or children, then everything would be even easier to handle!

”Naturally, this deity has always been a man of his word.”

Lu Changsheng’s tone was ice-cold, yet in his heart he couldn’t help but think to himself that this Sea Suppressing Ancestor was far too sly.

Even when he raised such a condition, the Sea Suppressing Ancestor was still unwilling to make a move and fight a bout first; this was simply illogical!

While he had guessed that the Sea Suppressing Ancestor currently couldn’t get a read on his situation and thus chose to endure, this level of forbearance was still far too great!

He had even wanted to use a fight to first probe the Sea Suppressing Ancestor’s combat strength and methods.

But the more it was like this, the more wary Lu Changsheng became of the Sea Suppressing Ancestor.

He planned to wait until he was in peak condition, with both cultivation level and Body Refinement breaking through and advancing further, and once he had his own power, to immediately kill him at the first opportunity.

Even if he had to squat outside the Sea Suppression Sect for a year or half, he would still kill him!

”Very well, just as Daoist Friend says, this old man is willing to use this as compensation to turn blades into jade and silk.”

The Sea Suppressing Ancestor spoke with a tone filled with unwillingness and pent-up frustration.

Although he could conceal such tones and emotions.

At a time like this, he definitely could not display anger or hatred and let Lu Changsheng see any flaw.

In matters like this, he still had a certain degree of confidence that even if the other party had some means, it would be difficult to catch and discern his emotions and thoughts.

”Since Daoist Friend is willing to resolve this enmity, this deity is not a petty person either.”

Lu Changsheng said so, while inwardly thinking that the other party must have set up some Heaven-and-Earth Net in the Fu Hai Sect.

Yet when he sensed the Heavenly Secrets with his Spiritual Sense, he detected no sign of fortune or calamity.

”That old thing definitely has a problem!”

Although Lu Changsheng’s Divination and Observation Technique could not discern anything from the Sea Suppressing Ancestor’s face or body.

His intuition told him that the other party definitely had a problem!
