Chapter 1080: Counter Soldiers with Arms (1)
Shen Yanxiao shook her head. According to Duan Hen, it was too late for us to leave even if we wanted to.”
“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. We’ll just have to make preparations.”
During these three days, the people of Sun Never Sets rarely left their accomodation. Members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group tried their best to recover their strength while the Phantom members had been training behind closed doors.
Three days later, Elder Wen invited Shen Yanxiao and Long Fei for a banquet to discuss about the winner’s prize.
Shen Yanxiao only brought Lan Fengli with her to the City Lord’s Mansion. Vermilion Bird had returned to her body and the other five members of Phantom remained in their accomodation to prevent any accidents from happening.
For this banquet, Elder Wen did not deliberately make things difficult for Shen Yanxiao.
Long Fei brought Long Xueyao with him and coincidentally met Shen Yanxiao and Lan Fengli at the entrance of the mansion. Since they had arrived together, the four of them decided to enter together.
Within the City Lord’s Mansion, Duan Hen sat at the main seat with Elder Wen sitting by his side. Other than the two of them, Luo Fan was also present.
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows when she saw Luo Fan.
Luo Fan sneered in her presence.
“Shen Yanxiao, long time no see.”
Shen Yanxiao nodded and said, “I didn’t expect to see you again.”
Luo Fan chuckled, his eyes were filled with viciousness.
“There are many things in this world that you can’t imagine.”
“Is that so?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled and ignored Luo Fan.
Elder Wen coldly looked at the confrontation between Shen Yanxiao and Luo Fan and said, “Both of you are guests, so why are you ruining the atmosphere? Luo Fan is only here on behalf of the Fantasy Devil City to discuss the matter of the prize. City Lord Shen, it’s not a bad thing to be friendly.”
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said nothing else. She took Lan Fengli and sat down.
The representatives of the four forces took their seats and the discussion began.
Each side had prepared a suitable detailed report that Shen Yanxiao could choose from.
Blizzard City and Sun Never Sets had collaborated prior to this. But, Shen Yanxiao still chose the prize from their side to be medicinal materials, expanding their previous collaboration. TO this, Long Fei had no objections.
When she was discussing with Luo Fan and Elder Wen, the two of them were unexpectedly easy to talk to and did not have much objections. Even when Shen Yanxiao made an exorbitant demand, the two of them quietly nodded in agreement.
Shen Yanxiao sneered in her heart. The both of them were aware that if she were to fall into the hands of the Broken Star Palace, this contract would become empty talk.
However…
Since they were so cooperative, there was no need for her to be polite.
Shen Yanxiao directly asked for precious metal mines from the west and Magic Stones mines from the south of the Forsaken Land in great quantities.
Elder Wen looked at the number Shen Yanxiao proposed and his lips twitched, but Luo Fan gave Elder Wen a look to calm down.
Elder Wen took a deep breath. “City Lord Shen, you have good eyesight. The places you choose are all lucrative places.” The metal mine Shen Yanxiao chose took up a large area in the western region. Such a large mine was quite rare, and their output was equally astonishing. With one look, he knew that Shen Yanxiao had studied a lot beforehand.
“You’re too kind. I merely randomly picked some.” Shen Yanxiao smiled innocently without the slightest guilty conscience.
If you want to plot against me, sure. I’ll scrape a huge chunk of flesh off you two first.
Thinking that there was no chance that Shen Yanxiao could survive through the night, Elder Wen braced himself and agreed. The contract was signed by Duan Hen, and the contract for the Fantasy Devil City was signed by Luo Fan and stamped with Geng Di’s seal.
