Chapter 376 Ao Yu Intervenes! Choose to Cooperate
"Huh! Finally here."
Shi Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
After he attacked Lu Tao and was stopped by Yan Zhi, he immediately sent a message to the branch leader of Tianyu Pavilion, saying that he had the time technique in his hand and was ready to cooperate with the True Dragon Clan.
But the premise is that the True Dragon Clan needs to come to Huanyang Pavilion to save him.
Otherwise.
The time technique in his hand will fall into Lu Tao's hands.
He believed that the True Dragon Clan would never refuse his request.
It is precisely because of the competitive relationship between the True Dragon Clan and Lu Tao that he can ensure his own safety and make such a seemingly rash choice.
Otherwise, even if Lu Tao refused his request, he would never attack Lu Tao.
"This damn Shi Shu actually hooked up with the True Dragon Clan in secret."
Unlike Shi Shu's ease, Yan Zhi's face darkened when he saw this.
He promised Lu Tao that he must get the time technique in Shi Shu's hand.
The result is now.
With the support of the True Dragon Clan, he could not obtain the time technique from Shi Shu anyway. How could he explain this to Lu Tao?
Yan Zhi looked at Ao Yu and other God Kings, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ao, this is the grudge between my Huanyang Pavilion and Shi Shu. Do you want to intervene?"
Ao Yu smiled and said: "Pavilion Master Yan is wrong. Daoist Shi Shu is an ally of my True Dragon Clan. How can Ao watch Daoist Shi fall into trouble and remain indifferent?"
"Really? How come I have never heard that the True Dragon Clan will cooperate with a certain cultivator."
Yan Zhi's words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing this, Ao Yu's expression gradually sank, and he said indifferently: "Pavilion Master Yan, who is my True Dragon Clan cooperating with? You don't need to inform Pavilion Master Yan, right?"
"Humph!"
Yan Zhi snorted coldly, and didn't care much about this matter.
Then.
Yan Zhi's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Since Shi Shu is an ally of the True Dragon Clan, now that Shi Shu has attacked my Huanyang Pavilion customers, he has also destroyed my Huanyang Pavilion branch, destroyed my two small worlds, and injured many of my Huanyang Pavilion's God Kings and artifacts. How should this account be settled?"
"This..."
Ao Yu hesitated.
Before he came to rescue Shi Shu, he had never thought that Shi Shu's strength could be so terrifying.
Shi Shu alone caused Huanyang Pavilion to suffer heavy losses.
This strength made him very frightened.
At this time, Shi Shu said calmly: "I am an ally of the True Dragon Clan. What's wrong with attacking my enemy Lu Tao?"
"As for destroying Huanyang Pavilion and injuring your God King, this is what you asked for. I have proposed compensation, but Pavilion Master Yan disagreed. Can this also be blamed on Shi?"
I don't know if Shi Shu is too straightforward or ignorant of the ways of the world. His words are full of arrogance and unreasonableness.
This made Yan Zhi's murderous intent rise.
At this time, Ao Yu said to smooth things over: "Master Yan, since this has happened, right and wrong are no longer important, but..."
"In any case, destroying Huanyang Pavilion and injuring the God King of Huanyang Pavilion is indeed too heavy for Daoist Shi. How about this, the loss of Huanyang Pavilion will be compensated by my True Dragon Clan?"
On the surface, this seems to be extremely generous and actively compensates for the loss of Huanyang Pavilion.
But he ignored the matter of Lu Tao's clone invisibly.
And precisely, the collapse of Lu Tao's clone is the top priority, which is what Yan Zhi cares about most.
Therefore,
Yan Zhi disdained Ao Yu's proposal and snorted, "Brother Ao, you are putting the cart before the horse."
"The loss of Huanyang Pavilion is small, and giving an explanation to the customers of Huanyang Pavilion is the most important thing."
"If anyone can attack customers in Huanyang Pavilion at will, how can Huanyang Pavilion save its face? Where is the credibility of Huanyang Pavilion?"
Yan Zhi said it with great righteousness, but it was true. He looked at Shi Shu coldly and said, "Today, no matter what, he must pay the price for what he did."
"..."
Ao Yu was silent and a little helpless.
He found that Yan Zhi was a little stubborn.
Ao Yu was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Shi Shu's voice transmission, "Brother Ao, how about we join forces to destroy Huanyang Pavilion today?"
"Not appropriate!"
Ao Yu was startled, thinking that Shi Shu was really murderous at this time.
He immediately sent a message: "Although we don't care about Huanyang Pavilion and can easily kill it, if we really do this, we will probably be excluded and targeted by other neutral forces after it is spread out."
Destroying a top force for no reason, and a neutral force like the Chamber of Commerce, will definitely not bring awe to the True Dragon Clan, but hatred.
In the current situation, he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
Therefore, Ao Yu is still ready to discuss compensation with Yan Zhi to solve this matter.
However, how to compensate and how much to compensate are a bit troublesome.
At this time, Shi Shu sent him an extremely important message, "Brother Ao, when I attacked Lu Tao's clone, Yan Zhi hesitated and did not stop me."
"Huh?"
Ao Yu was stunned when he heard this, and his heart suddenly moved.
His mind raced, and he immediately sent a message to Yan Zhi: "Master Yan, I heard from Shi Shu that you didn't stop him from attacking Lu Tao's clone?"
"..."
Yan Zhi was silent, but his silence was equivalent to tacit consent to this matter for Ao Yu.
This made Ao Yu very happy, and he immediately sent a voice message: "It seems that Pavilion Master Yan also has ideas about Lu Tao's secrets. In this case, Pavilion Master Yan might as well cooperate with us?"
Now it was Yan Zhi's turn to be stunned. He lowered his eyes slightly and said in a concentrated voice: "The misunderstanding between Lu Tao and me can be resolved. Why should I cooperate with you and offend Lu Tao?"
"Why does Pavilion Master Yan have to deceive himself? You and I both know that Lu Tao is a vindictive person. I believe Pavilion Master Yan knows very well what will happen to Chiyu Hall. Do you think that Lu Tao can't guess what you think with your previous hesitation?"
Ao Yu sneered and continued to send a voice message: "Since he knows that you covet his secrets, and to some extent, you have put it into action, then with Lu Tao's character, he will definitely not let you go easily. Is Pavilion Master Yan ready to bleed heavily to compensate Lu Tao for the loss of a mere clone that is not important?"
"..."
Yan Zhi was silent again.
He also knew that what Ao Yu said was the truth.
After a moment of contemplation, Yan Zhi immediately sent a message to Lu Tao: "I'm sorry, Sect Master Lu, the True Dragon Clan is involved in this matter, and Yan cannot stay at that time."
"But Sect Master Lu, don't worry, Huanyang Pavilion will definitely compensate you for your losses regarding your clone. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
Yan Zhi's words seemed very generous, but he was also testing. He wanted to know what kind of compensation Lu Tao needed to resolve this matter.
——
"It seems that Yan Zhi has other ideas."
In a place far away from the Huanyang Pavilion branch, Lu Tao held a telescope and looked at the ruins of Huanyang Pavilion from afar. He saw the previous battle and the rescue of Ao Yu and other strong men.
As for the conversation between Ao Yu and Yan Zhi, it was naturally clear. Only when they were silent, Lu Tao knew that they were communicating, but he didn't know the specific content.
However.
He could probably guess one or two.
Therefore, after receiving Yan Zhi's message, Lu Tao directly said: "Three hundred rule objects, this matter is settled."
This is not Lu Tao asking for too much.
After all, Yan Zhi did not stop Shi Shu from taking action, which means that Yan Zhi himself also has ideas about Lu Tao's secrets, and even in a sense, he also took action.
Of course, this matter cannot be settled so easily.
"Master Lu, you only lost a clone of the God, how can it be worth three hundred rule objects?"
Yan Zhi seemed very dissatisfied with this compensation price.
Lu Tao sneered and said: "Master Yan, don't change the concept. As you said, I really lost only a clone of the God, which is not important to me; but the important thing is that you did not stop Shi Shu from taking action on me, this is the key."
"..."
Yan Zhi was silent, he knew that this was the key.
It was just three hundred rule objects, even with the accumulation of Huanyang Pavilion for countless years, there were not so many surpluses.
Yan Zhi remained silent and sent a message to Ao Yu again: "It's better to bleed heavily than to be killed by Lu Tao."
"Speaking of which, Brother Ao is not honest enough. Knowing that you tribes don't even know where Lu Tao is and you may fall into Lu Tao's hands in the future, you still ask me to cooperate with Huanyang Pavilion. Are you trying to use Huanyang Pavilion as a scapegoat?"
Yan Zhi's words were filled with anger and complaints.
The tribes knew that they couldn't deal with Lu Tao, but they still wanted to cooperate with him. Isn't this asking him to die?
But he remembered the many materials that the True Dragon Clan had asked Huanyang Pavilion to buy before, and he had some guesses in his heart. He asked tentatively: "Could Brother Ao be sure to find Lu Tao?"
"Pavilion Master Yan, the next words, whether you cooperate with us or not, these words must not be heard by Lu Tao, otherwise..."
Ao Yu didn't finish his words, but Yan Zhi naturally knew what he meant.
Otherwise, Huanyang Pavilion will be destroyed by the tribes in the future.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhi sent a voice message: "Brother Ao, rest assured. I swear that I will never reveal any information to Lu Tao. If I break this oath..."
After Yan Zhi swore.
Ao Yu did not hesitate and said: "You guessed right. We are very sure to find Lu Tao. Within ten days, he will definitely fall into our hands."
"Ten days?"
Yan Zhi was shocked when he heard this.
Then he thought of something and asked: "Brother Ao, how sure are you?"
"If you don't join, there is only a 95% chance, but if Pavilion Master Yan joins, there is a 100% chance." Ao Yu smiled.
"100%!"
Yan Zhi took a deep breath.
He didn't know how this 95% chance was calculated, but he knew that Ao Yu would never joke about the safety of the True Dragon Clan.
Thinking of this, Yan's soul power swept towards a material in his cave. After thinking for a long time, he said solemnly: "Okay, Yan agrees to cooperate with all the clans!"
