Chapter 1113: Chapter 19: Of Course I Won
Southern Border.
Despite the gradual deploynt of the Purple Cloud Formation’s nodes, the Sorcerer Lords on this land have not truly realized the invisible shackles placed upon them.
Around the giant snake in the Southern Border, the formation has already begun to take effect.
A vast amount of purple haze descended, clashing and compressing against the high-temperature barrier surrounding the giant snake, stirring up a large amount of rising mist.
This mist is the dissipating energy that has condensed to a pure essence. It slowly spreads outward, and anything it touches, whether forest, river, or hill, disappears without a trace.
Or more accurately: annihilates.
This annihilation energy, capable of destroying any matter, is sandwiched between the purple clouds outside and the high-temperature barrier inside, slowly contracting towards the giant snake.
It is clear that the high-temperature barrier cannot stand on equal ground with the Purple Cloud Formation.
In the distance, many sorcerers, serving as the eyes and personnel of various lords, ca specifically to confirm the Purple Cloud Formation’s effectiveness.
Seeing how this formation continuously compresses the high-temperature barrier around the giant snake, the sorcerers could not help but feel jubilant, thinking that the products from Lu Country are indeed formidable.
But soon their expressions changed dramatically.
Because they suddenly realized that within the range of the formation, their own magic power beca inexplicably difficult to mobilize.
The Purple Cloud Formation, which can forcibly compress the giant snake’s barrier, is equally suppressive to other transcendent beings—unless you can persuade the formation’s host to whitelist you, you’ll have to accept a temporary regression in cultivation realm.
Soon, the formation ceased operation, and the overwhelming purple haze disappeared.
The energy consumption of the Purple Cloud Formation is extrely exaggerated, requiring almost astronomical amounts of electricity, and the Southern Border simply cannot ensure a sufficiently stable power supply. Hence, to truly kill the Southern Border giant snake, electricity must be drawn remotely from Lu Country.
Moreover, there’s a cost.
For every node of the Purple Cloud Formation installed in the Southern Border, a one-ti procurent fee is required.
Then, specific Military Mansion Cultivators are responsible for its operation, which also requires corresponding maintenance fees.
If it needs to be activated in case of danger, additional electricity costs must be paid to Lu Country… truly a case of “paying to be controlled.”
In their current state, the Southern Border sorcerers, even if they completely suppress the high-temperature barrier around the giant snake, lack the ability to enter the internal world to kill the real soul of the snake.
Witch King Hu Minghua even specifically confird with Lu Country that renting Golden Core True n to kill the giant snake is possible, but it requires paying the corresponding rental fee.
Cannot afford, cannot afford!
Obviously, if this matter is to be purely a comrcial transaction, the Southern Border is utterly defenseless.
There’s only one supplier, and they’ve got you by the neck, leaving no room for bargaining.
In the eting of Sorcerer Lords, Witch King Hu Minghua proposed a new plan. The Southern Border would join the “Human Destiny Community” being established by the big brother as a representative, using political support to negotiate concessions in the transaction.
The proposal ultimately passed with over 60% of the vote. Apparently, the Sorcerer Lords are not concerned about their “diplomatic stance.” They care more about whether their lives are threatened by the giant snake and how much they need to pay to enlist Lu Country’s Golden Core True n.
Only Witch King Hu Minghua knows that Lu Country’s Human Destiny Community, on the surface, is about countries collaborating to combat natural disasters caused by the Spiritual Energy Resurgence. In reality, it’s countries acting within a new frawork order established by Lu Country.
The longer you stay in the new frawork, the more you’re bound to Lu Country. Therefore, this guy, who beca Witch King with no real cultivation realm, relying solely on Lu Country lineage and good luck, can sit on the Southern Border’s Witch King throne longer without being suddenly killed in a toilet.
The matter of the Southern Border joining the Destiny Community soon reached Pear Blossom Courtyard.
As a force equally suffering from the giant snake’s disaster, Pear Blossom Courtyard’s situation is even more miserable than the Southern Border.
First, it is over-urbanized, densely populated, and industrialized, so the damage caused by the giant snake’s attack is too great.
Secondly, the profession of Goryeo Swordsman is not adept at dealing with the giant snake’s barrier. The fatal flaw of having a singular professional system is fully exposed here.
It is necessary to request assistance from Lu Country’s Privy Council. This is a consensus within Pear Blossom Courtyard.
But to what extent assistance should be requested and the price to be paid remain highly contentious.
Chief Swordsman “Goryeo Sword God” Park Changmin stated that given the current power disparity between Lu Country and its surroundings, it can be basically confird that Lu Country is bound to beco the hegemon of Asia and likely the Earth.
Just as we depended on Miti before, so too will we depend on Lu Country moving forward!
The big figures in Pear Blossom Courtyard do not entirely agree. For much of history, Goryeo mostly served as a dog for Lu Country, later switching to Chongying and Miti, so they have much experience in this regard.
It is an art to pledge one’s allegiance, cultivating a mutual understanding between master and servant. You can’t debase yourself completely right from the start—rember, even dogs are ranked! Dogs with emotions and value are certainly more favored than those that rely wag their tails begging for pity!
Therefore, the big figures appointed Park Changmin as the envoy representative, organizing many handso and beautiful swordsn and swordswon, planning to first try a wave of external exchanges and talk about relations.
