Chapter 680 – Techniques of Negotiation

Coming so fast ……… Xu Qi an frowned, he has not completely persuaded the two leaders of Luan Yu and Tremendous Ji, and this is intended to first solve to persuade these several people, and then let them help to lobby the corpse compulsion department together, and use the compulsion tribe s great power to press people.

I didn’t expect You Corpse to come so quickly, directly maneuvering the bird corpse to arrive.

The bird corpse hovered in the sky for a few moments, seeing that the situation below was stable, and that the several leaders of the same clan were safe and sound, it then glided down, but did not come closer, looking at the Heavenly Compass Granny and the others from afar.

“You have been captured.”

The bird corpse shook the air and spat out human words in a hoarse, low voice, which was none other than You Corpse.

After the sub-companion that was hosted on the walking corpse was killed, he immediately maneuvered the bird corpse to rush over to check out the situation.

The situation in front of him was a slight relief.

The biggest advantage of a Corpse Composter was that he was always safe, as long as he was not found in his hiding place, even if the puppets died a lot, the main body would still be safe and sound.

Xu Qi’an scrutinized him, and the giant bird maneuvered by You Corpse looked back calmly.

“We just reached a settlement.” Xu Qi’an said.

You Corpse ignored him, and his empty, dead eyes turned to Granny Sky Compass, who told You Corpse what she had said to the several chieftains in their original form.

The giant bird turned its head and looked at Luan Yu and the others, and after receiving an affirmative reply, it was silent for a long time:

“I have no reason to object; if you want to ally yourselves with Da Bong, that is your business.

“But the alliance between the Corpse Compass Ministry and Cloud State is a matter for the Corpse Compass Ministry, and we don’t interfere with each other.”

Luan Yu and the others frowned, the Companions had always shared offense and retreat, how could there be a reason for soldiers to meet each other on the battlefield.

Xu Qi’an pointed at the walking corpse puppet beside him and said without a hitch:

“I don’t need you to send troops, as long as you don’t ally with Cloud State, this puppet will be returned to you. A puppet with a third-grade body, that’s enough leverage, isn’t it?”

You Corpse didn’t even look at the puppet and sneered:

“You have underestimated my Corpse Compass Ministry, there is another puppet of the same level in my Ministry.”

He was a Third Grade Poison Compass Master, limited by his realm, and could only manipulate one walker of the same realm at a time, plus a few Fourth Grade.

If not, the one who came just now would not be a “six-star god”, but another third-grade one.

The Corpse Compass Ministry, which was known for raising and refining corpses, had a thousand years of heritage, so how could there be only one Transcendent Mortal Realm walking corpse. The third grade walking corpse that remained in the clan was not a martial artist, but the corpse left behind by a powerful person from the Demon Clan.

As expected, with the hatred of the Corpse Compass Ministry for Da Feng, it is too difficult to make him ice out ……… Xu Qi an was prepared for this.

Long Tu frowned and said in a deep voice:

“Wei Yuan is already dead, and your revenge for killing your father has long been over. You Corpse, don’t let the Corpse Compass Ministry centrifuge away from the Compass Clan because of your obsession alone.”

“The hatred of killing one’s father, is it not to be forgotten when one says it is forgotten, and ended when one says it is ended.” You Corpse snorted coldly, his empty, dead eyes sweeping over the crowd:

“It is you who are centrifuged from the Compassion Clan, Luan Yu, have you forgotten about the clansmen who were captured by the Dafeng army and enrolled in the Department of Teaching and Learning? Tremendous Ji, five thousand clansmen were all pitted and killed, and your Poisonous Compassion Clan is still the clan with the smallest number of people.

“You want to ally with Da Feng, have you thought about whether the clan will agree. There are also force compulsion dark compulsion heart compulsion sky compulsion, back then, your clan died quite a lot in the battle of Shanhaiguan. Just who is fighting against the will of the Companions?”

Luan Yu and Tremendous Ji immediately looked ashamed, one of them craving for Xu Qi’an’s body, the other craving for the extremely poisonous herbs and fruits, their hearts were in a state of struggle and hesitation.

You Corpse’s words were like knives in their hearts, making them apprehensive and resistant.

Compared to the major powers, the population of the Compassionate Race was simply pitifully sparse, but the Compassionate Race was a warrior for all, with every member of the race practicing the Compassionate Technique, and the race’s combat power was ridiculously strong.

This meant that the chiefs were unable to kill and take advantage of ordinary clansmen as the emperors of the Middle Kingdom did.

The clansmen are not lambs, and if the chief turns against them, the clansmen will seek the help of several other tribes to overthrow the chief. Or they may simply flee the southern border and live elsewhere.

“Sealing the Compassion God is likewise a top priority for the Compassion Clan, trumping personal grudges.”

Heart Compass Master Chunyan faintly said.

A single word interrupted You Corpse’s aggressive aura, causing him to fall silent for a moment.

This girl is wise and intelligent, worthy of being a heart compounder …….. Xu Qi’an glanced at her and nodded slightly.

Yo Corpse paused for a moment and said:

“Alright, personal grudges aside, just talking about the matter of sealing the Compassion God, an alliance with the Cloud State would likewise seal the Compassion God. Moreover, you all have some understanding of Da Feng’s situation, so why place your bets on the obviously weaker side.

“Furthermore, by choosing to ally with Yunzhou, the clan will only cheer, will only be fervent, and will only sharpen their swords. And to ally with the Great Bong, one would have to face the situation of being centrifuged from the clan.”

Aside from Long Tu of the Force Compulsion Ministry, several chiefs frowned and sulked.

Their wavering and hesitation was practically written on their faces, and You Corpse’s words both stated the Companions’ stance of hating Da Feng and illuminated the unfavorable situation they might face if they helped Da Feng.

To be honest, even putting aside the hatred and simply weighing the pros and cons, if the situation in Dafeng was really as bad as Ge Wenxuan said, Yunzhou Jun, who had the assistance of the Buddhist sect, would have a greater chance of overthrowing the Dafeng court.

If you add in the fact that your side is pouring in help, it’s almost a nail in the coffin.

Seeing this, Long Tu had to remind them:

“Don’t forget your situation, if Xu Qi’an hadn’t stayed his hand, you would have died long ago.”

You Corpse glanced at Xu Qi’an and sneered:

“Oh, I forgot, you are now his prisoners and can only accept and cannot refuse.”

Several chiefs glanced at Xu Qi’an and frowned.

The brains of the force compulsion department are really not enough ah ……… Xu Qi an sighed in his heart.

He was merciful and willing to sit down and talk to the chiefs, not really to repay them with kindness, but in the hope that they would break off their alliance with the rebels in Yunzhou, so this “kindness” was a knock on the door.

It’s just a bargaining chip to make the compulsion leaders willing to sit down and negotiate.

In the end, it would definitely still be necessary for him to take out the appropriate favors, and for the Companions to promise not to ally with Yunzhou or to send troops to aid the Dafeng. And not because Xu Qi’an didn’t kill them.

If it’s blackmail, you can use the excuse that “your lives are in my hands”.

However, if you want the Companions to sincerely ally with Da Feng, this reason can’t be mentioned, and this kind of threat only applies to doing a job and leaving. If you use it against an ally, maybe they will turn around and secretly ally with Yunzhou and stab you in the back.

You Corpse looked at Long Tou for a moment, his empty, dead eyes devoid of emotion, but he, himself, was surely full of disdain and sneers.

A simple guide to get the stupid force compulsion division hooked.

Xu Qi’an’s mind spun fast, thinking through many possibilities in an instant, including nipping the trouble in the bud.

With their current state, the dark compulsion I can not kill, too able to escape, the heart compulsion poison compulsion love compulsion three leaders can still be killed, but in this way, the force compulsion department will have to be immortal with me ………. Accordingly, I will have to kill, so that the compulsion tribe is completely pushed to the opposite side, in addition, the heavenly compulsion granny has never interjected, too calm.

She trusts my character that much? She’s not afraid to push me over the edge and really make a killing? We’ve only just met, and she doesn’t know me well, but she’s acting way too calm.

Unless she has an undercard so she’s not afraid of me lifting the table.

Xu Qi’an narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed:

“You may not know that the Buddhist Sect is powerless to intervene in the war in the Central Plains except for the Bodhisattva of the Garuda Tree and a small number of monks and soldiers, because the Southern Demons are about to rise up, and if you don’t believe me, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are also in the Southern Borderlands, which isn’t too far away from the Compass Clan’s territory, so you can send your people to go and make some inquiries.”

Several of the chiefs were slightly stunned as Yo Corpse jerked the bird’s head, his dead, empty eyes staring at him intently.

Chunyan nodded gently, “We will send someone to find out more about this matter.”

If this matter was true, then the situation in the Central Plains was indeed not as nail-biting as Ge Wenxuan had said. Even if they didn’t consider an alliance with Da Feng, they would have to reassess the risk of attacking Da Feng.

Xu Qi’an continued:

“A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Yunzhou certainly has a strong army, and the Great Feng does have internal and external problems. But that doesn’t mean that the Great Feng is bound to lose, otherwise, why would Yunzhou send someone to lobby the Companions.”

Seeing the chieftains pondering, Xu Qi’an struck while the iron was hot:

“In such a situation, the entrance of the Compassionate Race is the key to turning the tide of battle. The Compassionate Race is allied with Da Feng, and victory is within reach. Therefore there is no such thing as the vulnerability that Chief You Corpse is talking about.

“What Yunzhou can give, I, Da Feng, can also give. As for the popularity of the Companions, the promise I made just now still stands, and I will take out a certain amount of extreme poisonous herbs for the Poisonous Compulsion Department. I will also try to fulfill Chief Luan Yu’s request.”

Yo Corpse sneered:

“Just this? With these things, it’s a fool’s errand to try to quell the Companions’ hatred for Da Feng.”

Tremendous Ji and Luan Yu’s hearts were moved, but they chose to remain silent because the truth was what You Corpse had said, the very best poisonous herbs and poisonous fruits were not in immediate demand, and for Tremendous Ji who didn’t have too much hatred for the Great Bong, he would surely be glad to oblige.

But for the clansmen of the Poisonous Compassion Department, this was not enough to quell the hatred that had pitted half of their clan.

As for Luan Yu, it was more of a selfish desire. She had a superb man sleeping with her to cultivate the ticker compulsion, so what was it to do with the sisters in the clan? Even if Xu Qi’an took care of ten thousand chickens in a day, so that the sisters could all have enough to eat, but what did that have to do with the men in the clan?

“Just as well, I understand the difficulties of a few people.”

Xu Qi’an sighed as his figure was exhausted:

“I will not insist on sending troops, I only hope that the several chiefs will choose neutrality and give up their alliance with Yunzhou. What I promised to give just now remains unchanged.”

Luan Yu and Treki froze as they looked at each other, almost in unison:

“Yes!”

If they just chose to be neutral and not send troops against Da Bong, then it would be fine, and they could use reasons such as the situation being unclear and not wanting their clansmen to go to their deaths to appease the clans.

This occupies both the greater good and a lucrative debriefing (poisonous compulsion) for the clan.

Xu Qi’an smiled, from the very beginning, he hadn’t expected the Compass Clan to send troops to aid Da Feng, the conflict between the two sides was too deep, so deep that Granny Sky Compass personally came over to remind him.

With both Yunzhou and Dafeng being able to fulfill the needs of the Companions, the possibility of getting the Companions to put the ice on the ground was too low, too low.

The real plan Xu Qi’an had formulated was to first defeat them, and then find a way to make the Companions give up their alliance with Yunzhou.

The so-called troop assistance is just a negotiation technique, in which the price is first raised to a high level and then falls off a cliff, creating a feeling of “we have made a fortune” and “this is acceptable”.

It’s not over yet, getting the Companions to cancel their alliance is just the first step.

Next, Xu Qi’an still wanted them to send troops, but he wouldn’t let the seven divisions of the Compassionate Race come out in full force; he would use food as a bargaining chip to invite the experts of the Force Compassionate Division to join the battle.

Using various supplies and commodities as bargaining chips, he invited the Dark Compass and Heart Compass tribes to go to war; these two had a lesser hatred for the Great Bong, and it wasn’t hard to hire them to go to war with a heavy promise.

There was no shortage of food in the southern border, but there was a shortage of porcelain, tea, silk, books, and other material supplies.

Just give enough and they will always say yes.

However, Xu Qi’an still underestimated You Corpse’s obsession with killing his father.

To successfully complete the plan, the Euclid became an insurmountable obstacle.

If he could not be appeased, with the custom of the Companions being of the same spirit, it would be difficult for the other six tribes to really stand by and watch.

Yo Corpse snorted:

“What you decide is your business, I, the Corpse Compulsion Ministry, have decided to ally with Yunzhou, and no one can stop that. I’d like to see how many clansmen from the Love Compulsion and Poison Compulsion Divisions will be willing to follow me when the time comes.”

Tremendous Ji and Luan Yu’s faces changed.

The bird’s head turned and looked at Xu Qi’an, “You might as well try to come and kill me, kill me and the problem will be solved.”

“What the You Corpse Chief decides is your business.”

Xu Qi’an didn’t panic at all, and said lightly:

“However, I have a gift for the Corpse Compound Ministry all the same, so why don’t you take a look at my chips first?”

If it was a heart compulsion and a dark compulsion, Xu Qi’an really couldn’t think of anything that could satisfy the other party, and although the filly was cute and enticing, it was a mare, and Chunyan was also a woman.

Preferences don’t match.

The need for dark compulsion is a hidden corner, something that doesn’t need to be given by others.

But the Corpse Compulsion Ministry, as the host of the Seven Extinction Compulsions, Xu Qi’an knew their needs all too well.

You Corpse looked like he had heard a big joke, his tone mocking and disdainful:

“Whatever chips you have, I’m not ………. going to.”

At that moment, he saw Xu Qi’an touch a small jade mirror and tilt it.

“Clunk!”

A coffin fell out, and between the vibrations, the coffin boards slid out.

Lina covered her nose and backed away, just a sniff of the scent emanating from the coffin made her a little dizzy.

Long Tu hurriedly covered Xu Lingyin’s face with his big bushy hands, then threw her out of the way.

Inside the coffin, a sentence of a tattered ancient corpse was exposed to the eyes of the crowd.

It looked like a dry corpse that had been dormant for endless years and had suffered extremely severe damage, with many broken sternums and ribs, and a mutilated head.

But You Corpse’s gaze fell on the ancient corpse and could no longer be removed.
