In peace talks, no longer hostile to each other, and can even re-cooperate to jointly respond to external threats.

This was not only Chen Quan's advice to Hongyan Daozu, but also Zhou Ming's secret instruction... Zhou Ming had the plan to make peace with Chi Xingshan.

Zhou Ming didn't want to continue fighting anymore... Even if his Zhenlin City had an absolute advantage and suffered minor losses, he would be more sure to continue fighting again and hit Chixing Mountain.

You can even use the power of the surrounding sects to destroy Chixing Mountain!

But... Zhou Ming didn't plan to do this.

The destruction of Chixing Mountain is not good for Zhenlin City.

No matter which sect force occupies Chixing Mountain, there is no doubt that the next target that the force wants to deal with is 100% Zhenlin City.

For no other reason, Zhenlin City is a threat. If the freaks and monsters in the mortal city are destroyed, they will definitely become a disaster!

What's more, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Even if you offer favors to Zhenlin City, it will be regarded as a huge threat because there is a lesson from Chixing Mountain.

Now, the trump card of Zhenlin City - Lingyuan Cannon, is basically no secret, and its weaknesses will be found soon. The martial arts cynic Zhao Baige also said: If the immortal is prepared and sneaks in secret, the Lingyuan Cannon will become a decoration.

The immortals with higher cultivation level have countless ways to slaughter this city.

Therefore, although Zhenlincheng is strong in conventional power, if the high-end combat power is too little, Zhenlincheng is still very weak and cannot withstand the attacks of the sect - if the sect changes its previous tactics.

Zhou Ming naturally knew this.

He also knew: Zhenlincheng can win a hundred times, but he can't afford to lose once!

Then what should he do?

Peace talks.

The ceasefire with Chixing Mountain made him distract himself from staring at Zhenlin City, and focused on dealing with external threats that were more related to Chixing Mountain's life and death.

If necessary, Zhenlin City will provide some assistance.

In short, try every means to buy Zhenlincheng for several years of development time.

However, no matter how good Zhou Ming had imagined, Chixing Mountain would return to reason. Will he agree to peace agreement for the sake of his own sect’s interests?

Zhou Ming did not dare to judge others by himself, and also made the worst plan: if the peace agreement fails, he would immediately spread news to the surrounding sects and destroy Chixing Mountain before talking about it!

"Whether peace negotiation can be done depends on whether Chen Quan can come back alive. If he doesn't come back, there will definitely be no chance to negotiate peace negotiations. I can only find a way to destroy Chixing Mountain."

Zhou Ming murmured that Chen Quan was a talent he was very optimistic about. He carefully trained him for several years and sent him to Chixing Mountain, giving him better development prospects.

Of course, it was not Zhou Ming's original intention to train him to become a spy. He just arranged some "alarms" in advance for the benefit of Zhenlin City, not to steal the secrets of Chixingshan, but to prevent crises.

Such an alarm is available in more than a dozen sects around each of them.

...

Three days later.

A flying boat landed early on more than 20 miles away from Zhenlin City.

Chen Quan is back.

Under the escort of a Chixing Mountain elder, he returned to Zhenlin City.

Except for some skin trauma, he was basically intact and was not cut into pieces.

"It's good to go home. Take a good rest at home for a few days and keep your health well! I'll arrange for you in the future!"

After getting rid of the cold and asking about his well-being, he patted Chen Quan on the shoulder, and Zhou Ming asked someone to help him down and rest.

Then he invited the elder Chixing Mountain to the capital of the city and talked to him in the living room.

About peace talks.

"Peacemaking?"

"Who wants to negotiate peace with you?"

The elder smiled coldly and looked at Zhou Ming sitting opposite him deeply. He wanted to slap him into a paste with one palm, but he had to admit that it was this mortal who caused Chi Xingshan to suffer a great loss.

A great loss that hurts the bone marrow.

The immortal with the cultivation level of the Kelly Stage of Chixing Mountain was almost broken in his hands.

Under this mortal conspiracy, Chixing Mountain entered the weakest period in history.

Such deep hatred can only end if one side dies! This mortal said the word "peace negotiation" to him - of course, the explanation given by Hongyan Daozu was to ask for a peace negotiation with Zhenlin City, but as an immortal, he could not speak.

Zhou Ming shook his head. He could understand the arrogance of the elder, so he said bluntly: "Zhenlin City is insignificant. The spiritual veins of Chixing Mountain are the foundation of the noble sect. If the surrounding sects know that the noble sect is weak, how could they not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"Are you threatening us?"

The elder stared at him with a fierce look and said with a fierce look on his face: "The battle a few days ago was witnessed by countless people. Even if you don't spread it everywhere, you will know everything in the near future. Do you think your threat is useful?"

"It really doesn't work."

Zhou Ming nodded: "Other sects are not fools. At most, half a year, they will find something wrong with Chixing Mountain and then take action... Even if Zhenlincheng sends people to spread the news, it will only be a few months in advance, and the final news will still leak, so..."

Zhou Ming turned to look at him: "You need our help."

The elder's face changed, and he was extremely unnatural. He turned his head and sneered: "Just, I, Chixing Mountain, need the help of you and mortals? It's so ridiculous to the world!"

Of course, he admitted in his heart that before leaving, Hongyan Daozu said such words to him and reminded him: It is best to try it out and buy a batch of weapons from Zhenlin City.

For example, a thick tubular weapon that can kill immortals depends on whether it can be reached.

If possible, it means that Zhenlincheng can cooperate; if not, it means that Zhenlincheng is unreliable and cannot cooperate.

When Chixing Mountain overcomes the crisis, its strength recovers, and then turn around and destroy Zhenlin City!

Just seeking help from mortals... This elder really can't speak or say such things... that's too shameful.

Zhou Ming saw the entanglement on his face, smiled slightly, said something in his ear, which made the elder's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

A few hours later, a "Armature Agreement" that both sides could accept was successfully signed.

The validity period of the armistice agreement is three years, and the core terms are three:

1. Zhenlincheng will sell 3,000 sniper crossbows (power enhanced version), 30,000 continuous crossbows (enhanced version) to Chixingshan, and there will be another tens of millions of crossbow arrows. The total price is 80 million spiritual coins.

2. Once Chixing Mountain is attacked by surrounding sects, Zhenlin City will send troops to support it, but it can only establish a defense line at the foot of Chixing Mountain and cannot go up the mountain.

3. Zhenlin City shall not expand greatly and annex other cities.

There are also clauses such as "resuming trade exchanges", "sending representatives to establish communication channels" and so on.

These terms, including the core three, can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye: this is a very perfunctory agreement.

With the three-year validity limit, both parties are very clear: after three years, the agreement will be broken.

The purpose of the elder Chixingshan side is to hold Zhenlin City away from acting rashly, and to prevent him from stuttering and stabbing him in the back!

He thought to himself: "Three years later, wait for the two ancestors to come out of seclusion... Zhenlincheng, hum!"

Zhou Ming's goal has also been achieved. Three years, and three years will give Zhenlin City. This city will surprise everyone!
Chapter completed!
