Chapter 309 Negotiation Successful
Seeing that his expression seemed to be touched, Jing Chen continued, "There are many evil spirits in the ghost world caused by evil thoughts and evil spirits. If the artifact cannot suppress these evil spirits, the ghost world will be restless. The Thunder Pattern Tiger is not the end, but just the beginning. If the new ghost world that King You has worked so hard to build is out of control because of the evil spirits, it will be in chaos and be taken advantage of by the outside world... How should King You explain to the King of Hell?"
Mo Ziyu looked at the man seriously, his sharp tongue could not be concealed despite his calmness.
"What you mean is, if you want peace in the world, you should return the Jiuzhou Ding to its place. This will reduce the evil spirits in all walks of life, right?" Mo Ziyu asked Jingchen.
"That's right." Jing Chen continued, "The artifact that everyone is fighting for must be a hot potato. When the time comes, the army will come to the ghost world to harass the people here, which will only cause trouble. Since we are all related, let's talk about it openly... King You might as well give this hot potato away in time. Correspondingly, if it is really the King of Hell who is making things difficult for us, why not let us solve it."
Feng Xiao crossed her arms and glanced at Jing Chen behind her back. This God of Wealth was really outrageous. What if the King of Hell was even more difficult to deal with?
Mo Ziyu frowned and thought deeply. He looked at Qi Baige. She had been staring at him with determination in her eyes. This feeling... was like going back to the past. He still remembered that this girl was very persistent and would not give up until she achieved her goal.
He was really scared of her... Come to think of it, stealing the tripod was the worst of the worst options. It was a last resort for him to gain a foothold in the ghost world. It was indeed not a gentleman's act.
Mo Ziyuan saw that his brother's expression was clearly shaken, so he called out to him, "Brother?"
Mo Ziyu was still hesitating, weighing the pros and cons, and the negotiations seemed to have reached a deadlock again.
At this time, Mu Hanxing stood up again. She said to Mo Ziyu: "Second Island Master, do you know about the tree man disease? We have solved it for you?"
Instantly, the brother and sister were filled with shock.
Mo Ziyu asked her anxiously, "What did you say? Have you...solved it?"
Although he gave people a cold and difficult-to-approach feeling after becoming a ghost, at least he still had a conscience. Mu Hanxing saw this, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his junior sister couldn't deceive anyone.
She continued, "Yes, my junior sister returned to Qihua Island. She was heartbroken to hear the news of your death, but the islanders valued her very much and nominated her to be the new island owner. Naturally, she had the responsibility to lead the people of the island to a new life, to a place that would never be invaded by the tree man disease again. These were all things she did for you after your death. If she was sent back to the mountain gate and severely punished because of your act of stealing the tripod, how would you feel? She selflessly sacrificed for you, how would you repay her? Letting her take the tripod back to make amends for her crime is the only thing you can do."
With her status as Elder Yaoguang, the little junior sister would not be punished too severely by the Wenxin Sect. Her words were just to win over the girl's heart.
"My senior sister and the two Dragon Masters of Liyuan Palace used magic together to move the entire Qihua Island away from the Void Mountain and to a place that is not disturbed by evil spirits." Qi Baige explained, "I didn't do anything, so I don't dare to take credit for it. Speaking of which... this is the second young master."
He didn't expect so many things to happen after his death. He followed Qi Baige's gaze and looked at Long Jin behind him. He could see the dragon breath on him and asked him, "Are you the second son of Liyuan Palace?"
Long Jin stepped forward and said, "Yes, my brother did fail in his duties as Palace Master. I will punish him severely when I return. Now that I am here, I have tried my best to solve the problem on Qihua Island. This time I accompanied her to the ghost world to help her retrieve the Jiuzhou Ding. I will not return to Liyuan Palace until I achieve my goal."
Mo Ziyu frowned. The meaning of what the Second Young Master Long said was very clear. In the future, Qihua Island would still be under the care of Liyuan Palace. If he could really put aside the past and ignore the living people, it would be fine... But...
He looked at Mu Hanxing and asked again: "The evil energy of Void Mountain that you mentioned is the ghost energy that overflowed from here?"
She replied: "Yes, the tree disease is caused by the cracks in the Void Mountain..."
She told Mo Ziyu exactly the results of the investigation by Doctor Long Jin at that time. Mo Ziyu frowned and his mood was affected a little.
He never expected that the root cause of the tree man disease was ghost energy!
"The ghost world has been newly built, and you have just become the new king. Let alone capturing the evil spirits in the ghost world, you must have no time to take care of the broken barriers everywhere. At this juncture, what if there are spies in the martial arts world who get the news and send soldiers to the ghost world to forcibly take away the Jiuzhou Ding?" She continued to question Mo Ziyu.
After Mo Ziyu thought it over, he finally closed his eyes and made a decision. He said, "Okay, I promise you."
Mu Hanxing showed surprise, this man was indeed kind-hearted.
Mo Ziyu glanced at Qi Baige, and then said to Mu Hanxing: "After returning the tripod, as an elder of the Wenxin Sect, you should find a way to get Baige exempted from punishment."
"Of course I'm her senior sister," she assured him.
"However, the Jiuzhou Ding is not under my jurisdiction. I have completely dedicated it to the King of Hell and it is being guarded by his people. I can explain the situation to him on your behalf, but I cannot guarantee that he will be willing to return it to you." Mo Ziyu said sternly.
You know, it's easy to persuade Mo Ziyu, but the problem lies with the King of Hell who is one level higher than him.
"Is the Palace of Yama behind us?" Jingchen asked again.
Mo Ziyu said, "It's probably not appropriate for you to rush in. I'll go first, and you wait in the back hall. If he is willing to receive you, you can come in."
Seeing that his brother had made up his mind, Mo Ziyuan said nothing more and echoed, "Come with us."
After saying that, the brother and sister left from a back door on the platform, followed by several people.
Behind the Palace of King You is a relatively quiet courtyard with several unknown eerie ghost trees planted in it. They do not look like the ones behind the Void Mountain.
Just in case, Mu Hanxing reminded Mo Ziyu: "Some of the trees in your ghost world emit the most deadly Yin energy. If you can't completely seal the broken barrier of Void Mountain, can you cut down those trees?"
Mo Ziyuan said to her, "We can't control those trees either. They belong to the earthly realm. Even if they are cut down, they will grow again... Are there really many places where the barriers are broken?"
"Aren't those mortals who accidentally broke in the best proof?" Mu Hanxing said, "If Lord Yama is open-minded and willing to return the Jiuzhou Ding as soon as possible, I can help you seal the broken barriers in the ghost world on behalf of Wenxinmen."
Mo Ziyu looked back at Mu Hanxing, his eyes calm, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the whole thing.
