#3556 - An open joke
That's right, it's scavenging!
It's normal for a large Phoenix Volcano, as a Saint-level force, to have many treasures...
Qin Buyi hadn't even made a special trip to find them these past few days, and he had already looted several of Phoenix Volcano's treasure troves.
These days made Qin Buyi somewhat reluctant to leave.
Doing whatever he wanted on other people's territory without worrying about any consequences.
It was simply too good!
Qin Buyi was happy on his end.
The news about him looting several of Phoenix Volcano's treasure troves spread.
This time, it wasn't the Hongmeng forces pushing things from behind.
Instead, it was the higher-ups of Phoenix Volcano who were promoting this matter.
The goal was simple: to morally condemn Qin Buyi.
This guy had already killed their Da Luo Golden Immortals, but why was he also making a move on their cultivation resources?
These cultivation resources were related to the life and death of the entire Phoenix Volcano.
If Phoenix Volcano wanted to continue to thrive in the future, it would inevitably need cultivation resources.
As a Saint-level force, it needed a large amount of cultivation resources.
The leaders outside who were paying attention to this matter were extremely excited and happy about the looting of Phoenix Volcano's treasure troves.
"I only hate that I don't have the ability to do this myself, otherwise I would also want to do the same thing as Emperor Qin, looting the treasure troves of these Phoenix Volcano guys. Just thinking about how many cultivation resources are in these treasure troves is already exciting, let alone the fact that Emperor Qin looted more than one place. It's too ruthless!"
"If Phoenix Volcano hadn't attacked us before, I might have sympathized with them. Now, these guys attacked us, causing us heavy losses. The root cause was just that we gossiped about them a few times behind their backs. They're simply too petty."
"Hmph, let that Hongmeng Emperor Qin continue to cause trouble in Phoenix Volcano. The more trouble he causes, the better. I want to see how these Phoenix Volcano guys will clean up the mess in the future! Aren't they fierce towards us Grade A forces? There will always be someone fiercer than them to torture them."
"What is this called? Evil people have their own evil people to grind! I hope these Phoenix Volcano guys can last a little longer, so that Hongmeng Emperor Qin can cause them the greatest damage. With so many Da Luo Golden Immortals fallen and so many cultivation resources lost, this loss is enough to make them vomit blood."
...As these force leaders said.
Qin Buyi's various actions had indeed almost made the Phoenix Volcano higher-ups vomit blood.
These guys were looking at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Regret, annoyance, anger, and other emotions all existed.
In the end, the Phoenix Volcano higher-ups knew that they had to bow their heads this time.
Bowing their heads to solve the problem... would allow them to avoid greater losses.
To put it bluntly, it was using a relatively large short-term loss to prevent long-term losses.
A short pain is better than a long pain, that's the idea.
The Phoenix Volcano higher-ups found a representative, the goal was simple: to go to the Hongmeng forces for 'peace talks'.
In name, it was peace talks, but in reality, it was bowing their heads and admitting defeat.
Before leaving, they also brought a large amount of cultivation resources.
In the Hongmeng forces.
Wang Tian and Emily looked at the quietly arriving Phoenix Volcano representative, and were immediately stunned in place.
They naturally knew everything Qin Buyi had done in Phoenix Volcano.
But they didn't expect that these Phoenix Volcano higher-ups would be so flexible!
It was really surprising!
They sent a representative to admit defeat...
Wang Tian and Emily felt a little regret in their hearts.
How great it would be if these guys could hold on for a little longer.
But since they were now choosing to admit defeat, Wang Tian and Emily naturally couldn't sit idly by.
They sent a voice transmission to Qin Buyi, asking what to do about this matter.
Qin Buyi's reply was simple, which was to maximize their benefits while taking advantage of the other party.
Three days later, Wang Tian and Emily happily sent off the Phoenix Volcano representative.
They looked at the huge amount of cultivation resources, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Wang Tian and Emily didn't have the idea of using these cultivation resources.
The Hongmeng forces had developed to the point where they were self-sufficient.
Moreover, there were still many treasure troves in the Hongmeng forces. These cultivation resources were placed in Qin Buyi's residence.
Wang Tian couldn't help but sigh: "This is the benefit of being strong... it can make difficult enemies become reasonable."
Phoenix Volcano area.
Qin Buyi was not idle during the three days of negotiations.
Every day, he looted the Phoenix Volcano treasure troves and killed their Da Luo Golden Immortals on time and in quantity.
If it weren't for Qin Buyi's actions.
The Phoenix Volcano higher-ups might have continued to argue in the negotiations for a while.
After seeing Qin Buyi's so ferocious and unreasonable actions, they instantly understood.
If they didn't send this great god away, Phoenix Volcano would basically lose everything.
After the negotiations ended, Qin Buyi embarked on the road back.
Leaving the many higher-ups of Phoenix Volcano to verbally criticize Qin Buyi.
"This Emperor Qin is simply too much! We are clearly negotiating with the Hongmeng forces, shouldn't he stop his actions? It's really despicable! When communicating with the Hongmeng forces, that Wang Tian actually said that they have no right to interfere with anything Emperor Qin does. This is really bullying people to the extreme, it's too hateful! Hateful!"
"Who says it isn't? We suffered a lot in this matter, and we can't make up for it from the Hongmeng forces. Maybe we can make up for it from the other Grade A forces watching the show this time. Haven't we done this kind of thing before? It's okay to do it again this time, anyway, there's one, there will be two."
"Stop, we can't have a second time for this matter no matter what. Didn't everyone know how much negative impact the first time caused? Now you still want to have a second time, isn't this purely dreaming? If we really do it again, will we still want to continue to hang out in this area in the future."
"We should just swallow these losses ourselves. Isn't it just some cultivation resources and the fall of Da Luo Golden Immortals? After dealing with the Hongmeng forces, our Phoenix Volcano will enter a state of recuperation. After many years of recuperation, we will definitely be able to replenish our vitality."
...Mentioning the various frictions that occurred with the Hongmeng forces.
These Phoenix Volcano people felt very bitter in their hearts.
Now they just sent that Emperor Qin back.
It doesn't mean that the crisis with the Hongmeng forces has been completely resolved!
It's not that easy to completely resolve the crisis with the Hongmeng forces.
It can only be said that they have survived such a stage at a considerable cost.
No one knows what will happen in the future.
After Qin Buyi returned to his residence, he threw all his gains from this trip to Phoenix Volcano, along with the compensation sent by Phoenix Volcano, into the system store for recycling.
[Ding! Item value is being calculated...]
After some calculation, Qin Buyi's current balance of Divine Demon Points became 70 billion points.
Qin Buyi's smile already explained everything about this harvest from Phoenix Volcano.
Of course, if the Phoenix Volcano higher-ups saw the smile on Qin Buyi's face now, who knows what they would think in their hearts.
Maybe they would want to kill Qin Buyi...
Just then, Wang Tian found Qin Buyi and said: "Emperor Qin, should we publicize the matter of Phoenix Volcano sending compensation?"
Wang Tian himself couldn't decide on this kind of thing.
After all, it was a major matter. If he wasn't careful, the Phoenix Volcano forces, who couldn't save face, might go crazy.
For this kind of thing, it was natural to ask Qin Buyi for instructions.
After hearing this, Qin Buyi asked: "If we don't publicize it, are we going to save face for those Phoenix Volcano guys..."
All things must have a beginning and an end, and so was Qin Buyi's trip to Phoenix Volcano to cause trouble.
He made such a big commotion, but couldn't hear any ending.
It would definitely make other forces think that something happened in it.
In case Phoenix Volcano fanned the flames behind their backs at that time, maybe other forces would think that Hongmeng was afraid of Phoenix Volcano.
No matter how you think about this matter, it is impossible to save face for Phoenix Volcano.
Wang Tian said: "Yes, I will do it now."
Under his operation, the process of how these Phoenix Volcano guys begged for mercy was spread.
The surrounding force leaders were stunned when they heard this news.
No matter what, Phoenix Volcano was also a Saint-level force, so it was rare for them to beg for mercy and admit defeat in such a humble manner...!
This wasn't the most embarrassing thing, the most embarrassing thing was that the Hongmeng forces really didn't give any face at all.
They directly exposed the entire process completely.
As if they were afraid of saving a little face for those Phoenix Volcano guys...
Such an uncompromising operation also proved the attitude of the Hongmeng forces from a certain aspect.
That is, they disdain Phoenix Volcano.
And they want to fight Phoenix Volcano to the end!
It was probably the first time since the history of the God Race Continent that a Grade A force and a Saint-level force had developed to this point through friction.
"Although I often can't stand the Emperor Qin of the Hongmeng forces, I have to admit that this guy has a kind of courage in everything he does! He could completely hide this matter and not publicize it, but Emperor Qin didn't do this. What benefits would it bring them to publicize this matter?"
"We can't think about this kind of thing from the front, because it's not easy to think clearly from the front. We have to think about it from the opposite side, that is, what benefits would it bring the Hongmeng forces to hide this matter? The answer is naturally no benefits at all. This matter is making a lot of noise, and there must be a result."
"Don't look at the fact that those Phoenix Volcano guys took the initiative to admit defeat in this matter, but if the Hongmeng forces don't say a word and this matter passes like this, it will definitely bring some bad influence to the Hongmeng forces in the end, especially if the Phoenix Volcano higher-ups promote it behind their backs, this matter will be very troublesome."
"I can understand a little of what the Emperor Qin of the Hongmeng forces is thinking. Anyway, he has already completely offended these Phoenix Volcano guys, and he doesn't care about offending a little more. In the end, the two sides will definitely end up in a life-and-death situation, and there will definitely be no other situation. Reconciliation is impossible, and there is no need to save face."
......In a short period of time, Phoenix Volcano was once again pushed to the forefront.
Originally, Phoenix Volcano was just a joke in secret.
After such a push by the Hongmeng forces, it directly became a joke on the surface.
Many Phoenix Volcano higher-ups were naturally furious after hearing this news.
