Chapter 120 Opportunity for Dialogue!

The moment for dialogue had arrived!

Ying Shu could already sense the beginning of Jin Buyi’s collapse.

This was originally a good thing, but she instinctively felt a strong sense of unease.

Jin Buyi was a wall, both blocking her and protecting her.

Once Jin Buyi was defeated, she would have to face the increasingly powerful Ye Chuxiao directly.

At this point, Ying Shu only had one choice.

That was to cooperate with Ye Chuxiao, pay the price, and join hands to divide up Jin Buyi.

Then, the two of them could compete.

Otherwise, she would only have one way to go: to wait for death in the dungeon.

Ye Chuxiao, who had intercepted all of Jin Buyi’s ‘feedback’, would only become stronger and more fierce, making him impossible to resist.

Now that her thoughts were clear, all hesitation and wavering subsided.

She could forget about trying to play both sides, eating from above and below.

The balance had already been broken.

If she didn’t place her bet now, she was destined to lose everything.

"You want to talk?"

"Alright! I'll talk to you. A day from now, in the Ministry of Justice's dungeon, I'll come find you!" Ye Chuxiao finally responded to Ying Shu.

Leaving a day was to allow Ying Shu to think clearly about what conditions she should use to persuade him.

After all, Ye Chuxiao was now seemingly in a completely dominant position.

And Ying Shu was in a disadvantageous situation, second only to Jin Buyi.

Ye Chuxiao didn’t want to waste too much time and energy arguing with her.

Ying Shu had to have her value.

Otherwise, Ye Chuxiao would only treat her as a warmed-up dish, ready to be eaten at any time, rather than giving her a chance to try to bounce around a few times.

After reuniting with Yan Po, Ye Chuxiao took out three artifacts that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Yan Po.

"When He Gang and the others arrive, lend these three artifacts to them for use."

"I want them to challenge Jin Buyi one after another, as soon as possible, to completely destroy Jin Buyi's confidence."

"Also...finally choose a Hui realm cultivator whose strength, methods, and abilities are all good, create suitable conditions for him in advance, and let him go and challenge Jin Buyi in the end, and he must win!"

"To deal with Jin Buyi, I want to completely destroy his heart." Ye Chuxiao said to Yan Po.

Now, Ye Chuxiao, although he still valued Jin Buyi, no longer regarded him as an opponent.

Having brushed away the fog in front of him, all that remained was to quickly get rid of Jin Buyi and win a short-term victory first.

Yan Po looked at the three artifacts that Ye Chuxiao had sent over and couldn't help but smile: "You really understand Jin Buyi thoroughly. The Hundred Transformations Thousand Machines Umbrella can transform and disguise itself for repeated use, the Bone Piercing Soul Penetrating Nail can cause long-term injuries with extremely long duration, continuously reducing Jin Buyi's state, as for this pagoda...once it is triggered, the domain effect of an Intent realm cultivator will be reduced to a minimum, equivalent to leveling the absolute gap between the Hui realm and the Intent realm."

What Yan Po said didn't sound like it was targeting Jin Buyi; it seemed like any Intent realm cultivator would have a hard time resisting such a combo.

In reality, Yan Po just didn't say it explicitly.

The current Jin Buyi was constantly suffering setbacks, like a fruit that was being squeezed dry.

Continuing to apply strong pressure and create setbacks, the possibility of him strongly rebounding from the bottom was actually extremely low.

The greater possibility was that he would be forced into a dead end, not seeking change but choosing to get up where he fell.

Because from Jin Buyi's point of view, he desperately needed a victory to prove himself.

He was already standing on the edge of a cliff of complete denial.

Under this premise, Ye Chuxiao's 'challenges', which were similar but subtly different, were actually battles that Jin Buyi would not avoid.

And Jin Buyi was destined to be dragged into the abyss by this series of challenges.

"Still, be careful, and explain clearly to He Gang and the others that when fighting, they should surround three sides and leave one open, giving him some hope, and also preventing him from becoming completely crazy, which would be even more troublesome." Ye Chuxiao instructed.

Yan Po nodded and then looked at Ye Chuxiao, his eyes seeming to be expecting and waiting for something.

Ye Chuxiao turned his head and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Now is not the time yet, some situations, I haven't sorted them out yet."

"When I've sorted things out a bit, I'll speak."

From Yan Po's point of view, although Ye Chuxiao came with a message from Tang Sudong, other than holding a Cold Mountain Flower Gathering and setting up a rudimentary framework for the gathering, the other things he instructed them to do seemed to be only for personal purposes.

This was not in line with the original intention of establishing the Cold Mountain Flower Gathering.

This was also the problem with a makeshift team.

As a member, he would question some of the president's decisions.

This was still Yan Po, whose trust in Ye Chuxiao was close to full marks.

So he only signaled with his eyes and did not question his decision.

If it were He Gang and his group, they would probably directly question him.

After all, the Dao of like-minded people...wasn't Ye Chuxiao's Dao!

A day passed in a flash.

On the fifth floor of the Ministry of Justice's dungeon, Ye Chuxiao looked at Ying Shu, who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, waiting for her next move.

She was wearing a red silk nightgown, and only half of her cold white calf was exposed, shining white in the dark environment.

Her delicate toes were rhythmically curling, slightly contracted, as if showing her weak side.

Although her posture was very charming, this was a rare occasion where Ying Shu didn't use her extremely seductive charm technique as soon as they met.

Since she was so self-aware, Ye Chuxiao wouldn't tear off her fig leaf and reveal her true state again.

"It seems you're living comfortably, with no plans to move." Ye Chuxiao's opening remarks seemed strong.

In fact, not much time had passed, but the angle and attitude of the conversation had undergone a complete change.

Ying Shu put down the comb in her hand, turned around, twisted her slender waist, leaned against the dressing table, raised her slender but round and full legs, and just looked at Ye Chuxiao with such a charming posture: "Whatever requests you have, just ask, as long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

"I only have one condition, let me out and give Jin Buyi the final judgment."

Ying Shu's asking price seemed extremely sincere.

But Ye Chuxiao still didn't directly respond, but said: "You're a bit too pale, perhaps the environment in the dungeon is still a bit harsh. Do you need me to get you a few lamps to put in the cell? To decorate the atmosphere a little?"

"After all, I'm considered half the owner here."

"I can tell you many secrets." Ying Shu didn't listen to Ye Chuxiao's stalling and continued to play her cards.

"For example, the Ministry of Justice's dungeon originally had eight floors, don't you want to know why it was reduced to five floors?"

"I can tell you what's in the remaining three floors."

"Also, the past emperors of Da Heng didn't all die; some of them relinquished their burdens, changed their identities, and went to travel the heavens. If Da Heng experiences a subversive upheaval, they may be summoned back." Ying Shu began to be more proactive.

The Original Purpose Church had been entangled with Da Heng for thousands of years, and the secrets it held about Da Heng were as numerous as the stars.

Ying Shu thought that she could arouse Ye Chuxiao's strong curiosity by casually taking out something.

But Ye Chuxiao still just waved his hand: "There are many secrets of the past, I don't need to figure out every secret."

"It is said that cats have nine lives, but cats still die because of their strong curiosity. Even if the scenery presented in every dark cave is similar, they still can't resist their nature and want to explore."

"If you want to live longer, you must try to restrain unnecessary curiosity and only care about the news that is beneficial or unfavorable to you."

Ying Shu couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She heavily smashed a string of illusionary pearl necklaces on the ground, and the shattered pearls began to crisply strike the ground, constantly colliding and jumping, spreading out.

And these rebounding sounds, crisp and clear, were mixed with a hint of illusory rhythm.

It was like a silk thread, slightly tugging at Ye Chuxiao's nerves.

At least at this moment, Ye Chuxiao's gaze, following the principle of curiosity, subconsciously shifted down a bit.

Ying Shu's brow relaxed, and she didn't know when, she had grasped a black stocking in her hand.

Then, just like that, in front of Ye Chuxiao's eyes, she lifted her skirt and began to pull up the fishnet stockings along her smooth legs.

She didn't know exactly what this thing was.

But she couldn't deny that she sensed that just now, Ye Chuxiao felt that she was suitable for this thing.

And preferably paired with a pair of Valentino heels.

Actively catering to the preferences of the negotiating partner was also one of Ying Shu's negotiation tricks.

This couldn't be considered a charming technique that would arouse disgust or vigilance but was a reasonable use of her own advantageous conditions.

Ye Chuxiao smiled coldly and then added more utensils to Ying Shu's table.

There were furry tails and ears, as well as heart-shaped gems of various sizes, along with some special cultivation equipment, and so on.

"Since you've peeped, why not go deeper?"

"If you're willing to use these, maybe it'll have some effect." Ye Chuxiao said with a sneer.

After saying that, Ye Chuxiao directly opened a 100-gigabit fiber optic connection between the Heart Elixir networks and transmitted a full dozen terabytes of videos and images.

Ying Shu had seen the world.

But after receiving the information, her face turned pale.

She thought that the limit of human beings was only like this.

But after seeing it, she knew that she had underestimated the limit of human beings.

Being in a weak position, she felt numb all over just by substituting herself a little.

The original enchanting scene completely disappeared, and Ying Shu faced Ye Chuxiao again in her true state.

"That's right!"

"You always have to act first, are you a drama queen?" Ye Chuxiao coldly questioned.

Ying Shu avoided Ye Chuxiao's gaze.

She wasn't afraid before because she had confidence and assurance.

Now it was different.

She was worried that those images would become real.

"I'll make a few points, if you agree, I'll let you out."

"If you agree, nod."

"If you don't agree, I'll turn around and leave, and this will be our last peaceful exchange." Ye Chuxiao said.

Ying Shu honestly nodded, no longer expecting any off-table tricks.

At most, she hoped that Ye Chuxiao's pit-elder brother could provide some effective help at a critical moment.

"First, I want you to help me mobilize all the disciples of the Original Purpose Church to build a dark web that restricts and counteracts the water and leyline network that Da Heng is now promoting in eight prefectures as a pilot project."

"I'll give you the relevant blueprints and magic treasures for key locations."

Ye Chuxiao made the first request.

This system and network were originally used by Ye Chuxiao to restrict Jin Buyi.

Jin Buyi's 'feedback' really made Ye Chuxiao 'surprised'.

But if it was Xiao Chi, Ye Chuxiao was very worried that this system would be turned against him and become a tool for him to refine the world faster.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the counter-attack dark web system would be mastered.

This was exactly what Ye Chuxiao needed.

After adding this part, whether Xiao Chi controlled it or not in the future.

Ye Chuxiao had enough response methods and space.

As for why he didn't add this part to the initial blueprints.

It was entirely because this must-add dark web part was the kind that looked like it had a big problem.

If it was taken out, not to mention the Ministry of Works, even Yuan Shen and Shi Huang would not approve it.

Instead, it would expose Ye Chuxiao's 'wolfish ambition'.

Ying Shu nodded and said: "Okay! The Original Purpose Church's erosion of Da Heng is very deep. If we leave the Divine Capital and go to the local area, if the engineering changes are not large, it can be done with a little effort."

Of course, it wasn't that simple.

But the request Ye Chuxiao made was already a very low-cost request for Ying Shu.

At least, the place where she needed to pay was not much.

At most, it would cause a chain reaction, exposing more hidden agents of the Original Purpose Church, so that many years of the Original Purpose Church's arrangement would be in vain.

"Second, I can let you kick Jin Buyi a few times, but I have my own preparations for the last kick, and you are not allowed to interfere."

"I will take 70% of the subsequent distribution of benefits."

Ying Shu intended to argue, but facing Ye Chuxiao's indifferent and cruel eyes, she ultimately did not refute.

She was very clear that the deliberate seduction just now was ineffective, so Ye Chuxiao leaving her a 30% share was already too much.

Of course, she could also choose to directly turn against Ye Chuxiao when dividing up Jin Buyi after gaining freedom, and use the convenience of being the Heart Elixir Lord to seize a larger share.

But in that case, the conflict with Ye Chuxiao would be detonated in advance.

"Unless I can seek help from the outside and recruit several Intent realms...no! The protection of a Wuding realm cultivator."

"It's just that Wuding cultivators are rare in the heavens Original Purpose Church, and any invitation requires an unimaginable price."

"And if the wrong person is selected, it will undoubtedly be bringing a wolf into the house!" Ying Shu was troubled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, showing a very good surface cooperation attitude.

Ye Chuxiao didn't care what Ying Shu was thinking in her heart and said directly: "Third, I want you to help me bring the eldest princess you introduced to me out of the palace, no matter what method you use, I don't want to cause a big commotion."

"Fourth, I want to obtain all the information related to the Duke of Zhenhai, no matter how trivial!"

"Fifth, transfer at least three Intent realm cultivators to me, and I want to have absolute command over them."

"Sixth...!"

Ye Chuxiao listed them one by one.

In a short period of time, he listed nineteen, each of which made Ying Shu feel embarrassed.

And these nineteen added together were an invisible giant mountain.

Making it so she couldn't even breathe.

Unconsciously, she became stubborn again: "Enough! What do you take me for?"

"A wishing lamp?"

"I can only do at most one-fifth or even one-sixth of what you said, no more... it's useless if you kill me!"
