“It’s all right; if there’s anything about my proposal that you are dissatisfied with, please speak up. We can discuss it further and negotiate until we reach a plan that both sides can accept. Qi Tian, consider my proposal seriously, as I am offering it with full sincerity.”

Zhao Deyi continued to telepathically convey his plan to Qi Tian. At this point, he was essentially softening his stance toward Qi Tian, albeit he had not explicitly admitted it verbally.

However, Qi Tian showed not the slightest intention of letting Zhao Deyi off the hook. He initially had little desire to respond to Zhao Deyi, but considering Zhao Deyi had already made such a statent, it might be worth a try. So he said, “If you truly wish for to spare you, I will give you one choice, the only choice: submit to and allow to implant a Slave Mark in your sea of consciousness. Beco my Immortal Slave, and then, I might spare you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyi flew into a rage. How could he possibly accept such a demand from Qi Tian? He was the first Nascent Soul Master in the history of the Imperial Family Secret Territory. It was inconceivable that he had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and would imdiately fall under Qi Tian’s command, becoming his pawn and giving up his freedom, entrusting his life into Qi Tian’s control. If he were to accept such harsh conditions, why would he have bothered to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage at all?

Although he was furious inside, Zhao Deyi still did not dare to break with Qi Tian openly. He could only say, “Isn’t this asking too much of ? Can we discuss another condition? How about this: instead of insisting I beco your Immortal Slave, I can promise to assist you with all my might when needed. Besides, I can help you to take several Half-step Nascent Souls and make them your Immortal Slaves. Although their strength is marginally less than mine, they would still be significantly useful and et most of your demands—more cost-effective I might add.”

Qi Tian, infuriated, laughed at the suggestion. He had just profoundly understood Zhao Deyi’s imperial heart: ruthless and unprincipled. Now, for his own sake, Zhao Deyi was even willing to help Qi Tian acquire a few Immortal Slaves. This proved once again that in order to save himself, Zhao Deyi would stop at nothing. Negotiating or making deals with such a person was like seeking skin from a tiger. Even if they were to reach a deal, it would be nothing more than a stopgap for Zhao Deyi. The mont Zhao Deyi had a chance to turn things around, he would without a doubt betray him. By then, Qi Tian would surely be shown how wrong it was not to have killed Zhao Deyi when he was down and out.

Qi Tian said, “Your proposal tempts . So here’s what we’ll do: you stop first, and let’s sit down face to face to discuss the terms of the agreent, striving to satisfy both of us. With you running ahead and chasing after, we can’t really sit down and peacefully talk things over, much less discuss any terms properly, right?”

Zhao Deyi felt like cursing Qi Tian out loud. Did he take for a three-year-old? Stop running? If I really stop, won’t you just devour , bones and all, leaving nothing behind? Trying to play tricks on ? You’re still too green.

Zhao Deyi, of course, didn’t voice these insults, but neither did he stop his flying sword as Qi Tian had requested. Instead, he used so secret thod to push the speed of his flying sword up a notch. “Qi Tian, I think our minds are not very clear right now, and whatever we say or do might be irrational. Since we’ve reached a preliminary agreent to talk, why not give both sides so ti to cool down and mull it over? Once we’re both prepared, then we can sit down for a discussion. Don’t worry, I am sincere. If you accept my proposal, I will definitely et you at Longqing Palace in three days, and at that ti, any conditions can be discussed and proposed.”

Qi Tian, seeing that Zhao Deyi was all talk and didn’t truly intend to negotiate, knew that it was impossible to lure Zhao Deyi into stopping his flying sword with re words. Ultimately, to capture Zhao Deyi, smooth talk would be useless; it was ti for real action.

Although following in the sa direction would definitely allow him to eventually capture Zhao Deyi, many things could go wrong during a prolonged chase. To avoid any mishaps, it would be best to capture Zhao Deyi as soon as possible.

So, Qi Tian hardened his heart. He sent a deadly command to the Liuli Sha leading the chase and the Gui Lian following close behind, ordering them to push their speed to the limit at any cost to capture Zhao Deyi as quickly as possible.

Qi Tian didn’t place all his hopes on Liuli Sha and Gui Lian, however. He switched the Heavenly Dao Engine to Speed Multiplier Mode, recklessly consuming a vast amount of fuel to boost his speed to the ultimate limit of the Heavenly Dao Engine. Instantly, his speed surged dramatically.

Zhao Deyi, constantly vigilant of the pursuers behind him, saw that Liuli Sha, Gui Lian, and especially Qi Tian, had all accelerated. His expression grew even more somber. Although neither side had shown their true colors after the verbal sparring, each knew the other harbored ill intentions. It seed impossible now to use words to delay Qi Tian; he had to rely on his own strength to escape Qi Tian, at all costs avoiding capture.
