<h4>Chapter 1504: Madam Huo''s Attack</h4>
“Female Supreme Liu, this old friend of mine is cultivating and we shouldn’t disturb him. Let’se again next time.” Uncle Yu walked out of the room and spoke to Liu Binn who was waiting next to the spring.
“Ok, then let’s return.” Liu Binn nodded her head.
On their way back, they passed by the main peak manor. Liu Binn found that there were many people there. She didn’t recognize most of them.
Liu Binn didn’t want to speak with these people, so she walked alone back to the linking peak’s manor.
“Aren’t you New Moon Land’s Female Supreme Liu Binn?” a Border Lord ostensibly recognized her and spoke up with a faint smile.
The Border Lord spoke a bit loudly. Everyone in the corridor could hear him and many people looked over.
Among the group was a red-haired, maturedy, wearing a fiery red robe. She walked in front of Liu Binn and put on an amicable looking smile as she said: “I’ve long heard that New Moon Land’s Female Supreme Liu was an icy beauty. Everyone calls me Madam Huo. I am Elemental Sect’s Fire Faction Lord. I’m very happy to be able to meet you here.”
Liu Binn examined the woman exuding a slightly fiery aura. She maintained her calm and politeness.
“The previous matters were negotiated by my subordinates and your people. Perhaps they may have offended you somewhere. I hope that Female Supreme Liu doesn’t take offense. Fortunately, we were able to meet here. We may as well sit down and discuss your Nightmare Holy Realm’s matters. How about that?” Madam Huo did an inviting gesture.
Since it was a faction lord from Elemental Sect, it was difficult for Liu Binn to refuse. Thus, she followed her to the pavilion.
......
“If Elemental Sect Fire Faction’s members wish to cultivate in our Nightmare Holy Region, our New Moon Land won’t refuse. However, if you want to obtain control rights over Nightmare Holy Region, that is impossible.” Liu Binn was very frank.
Elemental Sect Fire Faction had previously sent people to discuss Nightmare Holy Region with Liu Binn. The Fire Faction wanted the Nightmares to be their soul pets and rece Nightmare Pce.
Although NIghtmare Pce was perhaps insignificantpared to Elemental Sect Fire Faction, it was extremely important to New Moon Land. How could Liu Binn agree to Elemental Sect’s domineering buying out of Nightmare Pce.
“Female Supreme Liu, we must negotiate a transaction. There’s no need to shoot down an idea so quickly. Perhaps the conditions we give you will make you satisfied.” Madam Huo said with a faint smile.
Many people considered the great holy realms as equal. However, in reality, Nightmare Holy Region was currently New Moon Land’s true core.
Firstly, Nightmare Holy Region’s Nightmare species was under the control of Chu Mu’s subordinate, the Nightmare Ruler. As the Holy Regions continuously expanded, the current Nightmare subordinates of the Nightmare Ruler were enough to constitute a dynasty!
Even if Liu Binn agreed to let Elemental Sect’s people fully administer Nightmare Holy Region, the Nightmare species inside wouldn’t agree.
Secondly, besides the Nightmare species in Nightmare Holy Region, there was also a foreign species there - the Devil Souls.
The Devil Soul species viewed Princess Jinrou as their queen. Although this species reproduced very slowly, it was growing increasingly prosperous. Moreover, every once in a while, the Devil Soul species would let a few outstanding members sign soul pacts with outstanding young people from New Moon Land. This would help New Moon Land’s internal members break through the species rank restriction.
The Devil Souls’ help was imperative for the rise of talents in New Moon Land these recent years. Thus, giving Nightmare Holy Region to Elemental Sect was equivalent to giving the Devil Soul species to them. How could the value of the Devil Soul species be measured using spirit items, territory or soul pets?
“Let’s ce the Nightmare Holy Region matter aside for now. Our Wind Faction’s faction lord is probably very interested in your Binding Wind Holy Region. You probably have also negotiated with Divine Sect’s members about Palm Dawn Holy Region, right?” said Madam Huo.
“The holy regions are the foundations of New Moon Land. Their control rights will not be given or exchanged to you.” Liu Binn maintained her firm stance.
“Then how about if New Moon Land didn’t exist?” Madam Huo rubbed her fingernail and calmly spoke.
Liu Binn faintly creased her brows. It seemed that Madam Huo was threatening her.
“Apparently we have nothing to talk about. I’ll leave first.” Liu Binn stood up and didn’t bother with Madam Huo any further.
“Your New Moon Land has only entered Zhengming Continent for a short while. You really don’t understand the rules. There are some things that you must give up to us on your own ord. Perhaps this will allow you to avoid many things. I didn’t realize you didn’t understand the meaning of “treasuring a jade ring will attract trouble”. New Moon Land has stayed a small ce for a long time and probably is ignorant. However, there’s someone warning you about this out of the good of her heart. I hope you understand what to do and you don’t just sit there on your high horse. In New Moon Land you may be the mighty Female Supreme, but in Zhengming Continent you are nothing.” Madam Huo watched Liu Binn aloofly leave and her tone turned cold.
When she heard this, Uncle Yu, who was following Liu Binn creased his brows. He turned around and stared at the rude Madam Huo. In a cold voice he said: “And who are you to say that? Has Elemental Sect degraded to such a state that a tiny fire type faction lord can speak for them?”
“It seems that the master has considered everyone else beneath them to the point where an old servant like you can wantonly take action. Since when was an old rotten man like you able to speak for someone here?” harshly rebuked Madam Huo.
When Uncle Yu heard Madam Huo’s words, he grew even angrier!
When he had crushed their Elemental Sect’s experts, Madam Huo hadn’t even been born yet. The people of these times were growing increasingly arrogant, and they didn’t understand what was meant by respecting one’s elders!
“Uncle Yu, forget it.” Liu Binn shook her head. She didn’t let Uncle Yu meaninglessly argue with Madam Huo.
Uncle Yu wanted to explode in anger, but when he saw Liu Binn’s calm eyes, his anger was quickly suppressed.
......
After leaving the courtyard, the moment they entered the corridor, a few people immediately went up to greet Liu Binn.
“My name is Wang Kuan. I am a Gate Master from Demon Beast Pce Beast Gate.” said a man with a scar on his face.
“I am Ruan Lei, Du Border’s Border Lord. Female Supreme Liu, we have probably seen each other a few times before.” said the man wearing arge yellow robe.
The other woman didn’t introduce herself. She merely sized up Liu Binn with her arrogant eyes. The corners of her mouth were faintly curling up.
Liu Binn didn’t know what these border lords or gate masters were here for. Thus, she calmly looked back at them.
“Our Northern Territory’s subsidiary faction has already taken form there. Isn’t the tax there a bit too high? How about Female Supreme Liu hand over the rights to Northern Territory to us. Name your conditions,” said the man called Wang Kuan.
“Can we talk about thister?” said Liu Binn.
“That won’t do. Since we’re able to meet here, it’s better for both of us if we deal with this matter quickly.” said Wang Kuan.
“If you want to talk, then send people to New Moon Land. You’re blocking Female Supreme’s path. Are you trying to force her to do something?” Uncle Yu could see that these three people were finding trouble so he spoke up without any courtesy.
“This old uncle, how are we forcing her to do anything? We only want to discuss a pressing matter with Female Supreme Liu. If Female Supreme Liu feels that it’s beneath her to talk with us, we will naturally let her go,” said the unknown woman somewhat scaldingly.
Liu Binn creased her brows again. These people really were targeting her and New Moon Land. They clearly wanted to upy New Moon Land’s enormously profitable resources!
Liu Binn couldn’t let them do that. However, these three people were obviously instigating things, and were intentionally pushing New Moon Land into an even further isted ce.
New Moon Land was a newly independent territory and its rise had only urred over the past few years. The people who were able to participate in this conference were basically around the gate master rank. If New Moon Land were to put on airs in a ce like this, that would be tantamount to suicide.
Just as Liu Binn was stuck, not knowing what to do, a man wearing snow white clothing walked over from a side corridor.
“Excuse me, I have something private to discuss with Female Supreme Liu.” the white-clothed man coldly swept his eyes over those three people.
Wang Kuan and that woman were acting brash and harsh, but when they saw this man, they hastily swallowed their words.
The three of them no longer dared hold up Liu Binn and quickly gave way to them!
The white-clothed man gave an inviting gesture and brought Liu BInn out of the courtyard.
Wang Kuan, Ruan Lei and the woman were in shock for a long time as they stared at the white-clothed man’s back.
“Why... why is Magistrate Xiao here?” said Wang Kuan.
Divine Sect’s white clothing meant it was Chief Magistrate Xiao Xueang!
Who in the entirety of Zhengming Continent dared block Xiao Xueang’s path?
Wang Kuan and Ruan Lei didn’t understand why the insignificant New Moon Land Female Supreme Liu knew Xiao Xueang and even was going to have a private discussion with him?
......
When they reached the linking peak manor, Liu Binn nced at the adjacent Divine Sect magistrate. She faintly revealed a courteous smile as she said: “What is it that Magistrate Xiao would like to discuss... or perhaps you’re helping me get out of trouble?”
Xiao Xueang said: “I was passing by and saw you, so I came by and conveniently helped you out of trouble. Also, there are a few people in Divine Sect targeting you and New Moon Land. Those people don’t belong under the scope of my control. I came by to tell you this. I hope that you don’t mistake it as me ordering them.”
“Yes.” Liu Binn nodded her head.
Liu Binn had seen Magistrate Xiao a few times before. She happened to see him, coincidentally, thest time she was in Zhengming Main City’s Territory Institution.
Liu Binn had thus thought he was a Territory Institution member, because the few times she saw him were there and they had had a few simple conversations.
It wasn’t untilter when she was with Ye Qingzi once that she realized that this man who had talked with her a few times was Divine Sect’s greatly renowned Chief Magistrate Xiao Xueang.
“There are a few things I must attend to. Then... then I will say goodbye first.” Xiao Xueang brought Liu Binn to the entrance of the linking peak manor and then left.
Uncle Yu was next to them the whole time but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until Xiao Xueang left before he finallyughed and said: “This Magistrate Xiao always uses the words passing by, conveniently, and coincidence...”
