Wang Xiaoqiang maintained an air of calm poise and said in a relaxed tone… "I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperate? Cooperate on what?" Tianfang Yizhong's eyes flashed.
Wang Xiaoqiang directly stated, "I'll help you kill Tianfang Wuji, and you help acquire five hundred Blood-Boosting Pills..."
"How dare you, trying to incite our brotherly conflict…" Tianfang Yizhong's face showed anger, and he shouted at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Our brotherhood has always been harmonious. You co now to sow discord, what are your intentions…?"
This battle for succession is inevitable, especially the struggle between Tianfang Yizhong and Tianfang Wuji, which will explode sooner or later. But for now, it hasn't erupted; currently, their brotherhood is at its most tense and delicate mont. Whoever initiates the war first will beco the one with obvious ambition.
Tianfang Yizhong isn't clear about Wang Xiaoqiang's background and fears he might be a spy sent by Tianfang Wuji, hence his caution and questioning.
Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Haha, it seems the Young City Lord still has so depth, not bad, not bad..."
The white-haired elder stepped toward Wang Xiaoqiang and shouted angrily, "Presumptuous! The Young City Lord is not soone you can judge and criticize!"
Wang Xiaoqiang ignored the white-haired elder and instead told Tianfang Yizhong, "Let's cut to the chase, rest assured, I am not soone from Tianfang Wuji. Tianfang Wuji is a cultivator of the Blood Burning Technique and has a massive stash of Blood-Boosting Pills. My cooperation with you is purely because I want to obtain Tianfang Wuji's Blood-Boosting Pills…"
Upon hearing this, Tianfang Yizhong's heart believed a bit, and he exchanged glances with the white-haired elder, nodding.
The white-haired elder said, "Boy, you are not qualified to cooperate with the Young City Lord. If you wish to submit under the Young City Lord's banner, he will give you an opportunity..."
"Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang let out a long and cold laugh, "Not just a Young City Lord, even a Commandery Prince is not qualified to make submit..."
"How bold." The white-haired elder shouted angrily, and at this mont, the black-bearded elder also flew over, glaring at Wang Xiaoqiang with rage. Wang Xiaoqiang's words had angered them, and they both shouted, "Arrogant!!"
Wang Xiaoqiang responded with a cold laugh. In reality, he could absolutely choose not to cooperate with Tianfang Yizhong, directly kill Tianfang Wuji, and take his Blood-Boosting Pills. However, doing so would an facing Tianfang Wuji's thousands of troops.
If he cooperates with Tianfang Yizhong, he wouldn't have this pressure; it would be much easier. Besides, after helping Tianfang Yizhong seize the city lord position, Tianfang Yizhong still needs to fulfill the promise of five hundred Blood-Boosting Pills,
A dignified city lord should not find it difficult to gather five hundred Blood-Boosting Pills.
In fact, Tianfang Yizhong desperately wants to seize the city lord position but doesn't have much confidence in success, especially since Tianfang Wuji's overall strength surpasses his. As they say, success demands sacrifice; if he can't succeed in eliminating Tianfang Wuji, then he will be the one to die.
Therefore, he is quite restless and needs a strong ally at this mont. Coincidentally, Wang Xiaoqiang appeared during this ti. Even though Wang Xiaoqiang might be arrogant, Tianfang Yizhong doesn't mind; on the contrary, Wang Xiaoqiang's arrogance proves his strength, as being arrogant requires a certain level of competence.
"Alright, I agree to cooperate with you, and once it's done, I will fulfill the promise of five hundred Blood-Boosting Pills." Tianfang Yizhong said with great decisiveness.
Actually, upon witnessing Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, he already had this plan, but he feared Wang Xiaoqiang might be soone from Tianfang Wuji, hence his hesitations. When he heard Wang Xiaoqiang say he only wanted to cooperate and not submit, he was convinced Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't from Tianfang Wuji.
Because if Wang Xiaoqiang were Tianfang Wuji's undercover, he would definitely try all ans to please him and be willing to join his ranks, Wang Xiaoqiang's behavior was exactly the opposite, fully proving Wang Xiaoqiang was not an undercover.
The white-haired elder still had concerns and turned to Tianfang Yizhong, saying, "Young Lord, this, this…"
Tianfang Yizhong waved his hand, "I've decided, no need to say more. Get soone to prepare the wine and food, I want to entertain him."
The white-haired elder shot Wang Xiaoqiang a watchful glance, then turned and left to arrange the wine and food,
The black-bearded elder didn't have as much anxiety towards Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing Tianfang Yizhong agree to cooperate made his attitude towards Wang Xiaoqiang much more cordial. At this mont, he cupped his fists and said, "May I ask for this Young Hero's distinguished na and place of origin?"
Wang Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "My na is Wang Xiaoqiang. I'm not from Villain Nation. To be precise, I'm not from the Ancient Immortal Realm. My arrival in the Ancient Immortal Realm isn't for power struggles or wealth, nor for prosperity. Moreover, I just arrived in Villain Nation. So you can set your heart at ease, there's no way I am of Tianfang Wuji's. My cooperation with you is only to obtain the Blood-Boosting Pills to cultivate my Blood Burning Technique..."
When Tianfang Yizhong heard this, he felt even more relieved and said, "Young Hero Wang, has your Blood Burning Technique reached the Second Layer of Boiling Blood Qi?"
Instead of answering, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "May I ask, what level has Tianfang Wuji's Blood Burning Technique reached?"
"It seems to be the First Layer," Tianfang Yizhong said, "but about half a year ago, he was said to be in seclusion to break through to the Second Layer. It's uncertain if he has reached the Second Layer of Boiling Blood Qi by now…"
As they were talking, a servant reported that the wine and food were ready and invited them downstairs to dine.
"Young Hero Wang, please..." Tianfang Yizhong made a gesture of invitation with great courtesy.
Thus Wang Xiaoqiang followed Tianfang Yizhong to the dining room downstairs. The dishes in the Young City Lord's family were naturally incomparable to the outside restaurants, not only were the dishes colorful and exquisite, but also balanced in at and vegetables, with flavors very savory and wine fragrance perating the air,
During the al with just the two of them, Tianfang Yizhong encouraged Wang Xiaoqiang to drink while explaining the situation in Tianfang City to him, analyzing the power and strength of the six brothers for Wang Xiaoqiang,
His depiction was basically consistent with Wang Xiaoqiang's inquiries; after the death of City Lord Tianfang Yiba, among the six sons, Tianfang Yizhong and Tianfang Wuji had the most power and strength to seize the position.
Tianfang Yizhong was the legitimate son, in title, Tianfang Wuji was born of a concubine, lacking legitimacy. Comparatively, Tianfang Yizhong was widely expected to succeed,
If Tianfang Wuji were to fight for it, he would be subjected to public criticism,
In terms of power, the difference between the two was not significant,
In terms of strength, Tianfang Yizhong was at Earth Immortal Nine Plates, Tianfang Wuji at Earth Immortal Seven Plates, Tianfang Yizhong was stronger than Tianfang Wuji, but Tianfang Wuji was a Body Refining Master and had cultivated the Blood Burning Technique, his combined strength exceeded Tianfang Yizhong.
Without waiting for Tianfang Yizhong to finish, Wang Xiaoqiang concluded, "In this world, strength reigns supre, cultivation is paramount, Tianfang Yizhong, you cannot defeat Tianfang Wuji, the city lord position is definitely his... Moreover, Tianfang Yizhong, you are dood."
Tianfang Yizhong showed a difficult expression but dared not get angry. Instead, he poured a glass and handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang with a smile, saying, "Thus Young Hero Wang, you are my benefactor. With your help, I can overco this calamity."
Wang Xiaoqiang curled his lips into a playful smile and said, "Not just a benefactor, I am your savior."
