Chapter 154 Negotiation
Ding Xie was running around like a rabbit being chased away.
It looked miserable, but in fact it was not seriously injured.
The sea of consciousness is vast, and Ding Xie is at home. Although he is at a disadvantage, he is still invincible.
Tushanjun couldn't catch Ding Xie and couldn't complete the backlash, and Ding Xie couldn't defeat Tushanjun.
"Nine-Layered Pagoda Seal!"
Yuan Shen squeezed his hands and formed a seal with his hands.
The shadow of the nine-layered pagoda expanded, and Tushanjun who hit him was immediately ejected.
"Backlash."
Tushanjun didn't hesitate at all and started backlash again.
Ding Xie had just regained consciousness on this side and hurriedly shouted: "Get away, everyone!"
Everyone was shocked and left quickly.
Zhang Zhichen and his wife hurriedly protected Wen Yue's family, and their magical power took them away from Ding Xie.
Before Ding Xie's luck power could be condensed into a technique, Tu Shanjun's evil ghost body rushed into his sea of consciousness again.
"Suffer death!"
During the backlash, both sides share power.
As long as the banner master does not die, Tushanjun can launch counterattacks again and again.
Ding Xie wants to destroy the soul flag, but Tu Shanjun will not hold back.
Destroying the soul flag not only destroyed Tu Shanjun's life, but also destroyed all his hopes.
Even if he died, he would have to use Ding Xie as his backer.
"The Nine Layers of Seal."
This time, Tushanjun was faster. Before Ding Xie Yin Shen's pagoda shadow spread out, Tushanjun was already close, and the iron fist covered with Zen spirit bombarded Ding Xie's body.
There was a boom.
Ding Xie's Yin Shen shot out like a cannonball.
Fortunately, he still managed to open the pagoda.
As the pagoda opened, the light within the sea of consciousness flourished, and Tushanjun's body was knocked out again.
"Backlash."
Ding Xie learned the lesson and quickly let go of the soul flag, but Tu Shanjun's ghost body still rushed into his sea of consciousness forcefully.
"Damn it!"
Ding Xie cursed loudly and sat cross-legged in front of Hun Fan, maintaining the unfolding of the nine-fold seal.
"Backlash."
"opposite……"
"..."
"Backlash."
If once doesn't work, then twice.
Ten times, a hundred times.
Ding Xie's five hearts were raised to the sky, the seals all over his body gathered together, and the Yin Shen kept the pagoda seal at all times.
The mana transpired and circulated, and the pressure of the monks in the middle stage of foundation building swept away like substance.
Tu Shanjun stood in the sea of consciousness and looked across the pagoda at Ding Xie's Yin Shen inside. His fist hit the pagoda seal, leaving only a shallow fist mark.
"It's really not an option to continue with this stalemate."
"In this case, let's have a good talk."
"Let's negotiate. What do you think?" Ding Xie, who was sitting in the pagoda and maintaining the seal, shouted quickly.
Tu Shanjun, standing in front of the pagoda's shadow, said, "There's nothing to talk about."
"Either you die or I die."
"Then let's all waste it together, and I'll see who dies first, you or me."
Tushanjun didn't leave either, he just stood in front of the pagoda's shadow, his scarlet ghost eyes filled with fierceness.
Compared with ruthlessness, Tushanjun has never been afraid of him.
Everyone is in the middle stage of foundation building. If both sides have nothing to do, then there will be a stalemate. Someone will be unable to hold on first.
Even if Ding Xie has the strength to build a foundation and maintains the seal, his magic power will bottom out.
He bet that Ding Xie would be the first to beg for mercy.
At the negotiation table, whoever shows weakness first will be in a passive position.
You only have one life, and Tushanjun doesn't want others to decide his fate.
"My seal can last at least ten days and a half. At this time, I can already invite others to destroy the soul flag. Are you sure you want to spend it with me?"
Tu Shanjun was not threatened at all and sneered: "Do you dare to be distracted?"
Ding Xie fell silent again. Tu Shanjun was right, he didn't dare to be distracted.
Once he is distracted, Tushanjun will find an opportunity.
He could still gamble just now, but now that the evil ghost has injured his spirit, Ding Xie no longer dares to gamble.
"We have something to discuss." Ding Xie started talking again.
He now understands that the main soul of the soul banner has a very high level of sanity, no different from ordinary people, and is even far more cunning than ordinary people, not to mention the opponent's strong perseverance.
The intensive attacks didn't give him any chance to breathe.
Tu Shanjun fell silent, thinking whether it would be better to kill Ding Xie, or whether it would be better for both parties to reach an agreement and seek cooperation in the end.
He is ruthless, but Ding Xie is not a soft persimmon.
Once he knows that there is no hope, Ding Xie will definitely send what happened to the division, and then the other side's division commander will come.
Tushanjun is capable of mid-stage foundation building, but it can only go so far.
Even if he wants to fly far away, he still needs magic power for him to use it.
"Discuss, why didn't you discuss just now?"
"I really discussed it."
"I asked you to release their souls."
"That's an order."
Tu Shanjun sneered, Ding Xie's interrogative order was sent to him who was in a low mood. If he didn't want to talk to Ding Xie, he would have taken action long ago.
Ding Xie couldn't peel off the ghost himself, but wanted to dismantle the soul flag.
Even if the soul flag is really destroyed, will the ghost inside the flag be freed?
Even Tushanjun didn't dare to guarantee it.
The soul flag merged with him and the incomplete system. Who knows whether destroying the soul flag will destroy all the ghosts along with it.
Ding Xie pondered, and then said: "I apologize for my rude words."
"I sincerely apologize."
"I'm really sorry."
"We don't need to fight to the death. I really just want to save the ghost in the soul flag."
"If it weren't for someone else's request, I would have just handed over the soul flag directly regardless of it."
"Besides, I can also see that you and Wen Yue have a close relationship."
"According to what the junior monk said, the soul flag also appeared in that county."
"After all these years, you haven't turned against Wen Yue. It's definitely not what I thought. I really shouldn't talk nonsense."
"..."
Ding Xie quickly apologized.
He is not a fool. Others can't see clearly what state Tushanjun was in when Wen Yue died, but he can't see clearly.
At first, he said so much just to anger Tushanjun, but he didn't expect that he would lose his temper all of a sudden.
"Okay, then let's discuss it."
Ding Xie was overjoyed: "Yes, we have something to discuss."
"What do you want?"
Tu Shanjun was silent for a while: "You swear by the way of heaven and your own Taoist heart that you will never let anyone destroy the soul flag. Otherwise, your cultivation will stagnate and your true spirit will never be reincarnated."
"So cruel?"
Ding Xie was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "Do you understand that we are equals? I swear such a cruel oath, what can you come up with?"
He really didn't intend to have a stalemate, but Tushanjun couldn't get any favors from him.
When he really couldn't hold on any longer, he would send the information back even if he risked his life, and let the people of the sect destroy the soul flag.
And if he really had to fight to the death, he might not die in the end.
"The soul flag can advance as long as it absorbs the evil spirit of the ghost."
"Advanced?"
Ding Xie's eyes widened when he heard this.
"That's right. Fourteen years ago, the soul flag was a low-grade magic weapon. Now it is a top-grade magic weapon. As long as the evil energy is sufficient, it can continue to advance and it will become more powerful without re-refining."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"I swear by God."
"Wait... let me calm down."
Ding Xie was a little confused for a moment. This was the first time he heard that there was a magical weapon that could automatically advance and did not require a weapon refiner to re-refiner it.
what is this?
Treasure!
"Damn it, I came to Xiaolingzhou and got a huge opportunity."
Ding Xie was trembling with excitement. If what the evil ghost in front of him said was true, then the soul flag would be a chance to change his fate.
"You swear what you said is true."
Tu Shanjun swore the authenticity of the soul flag's advancement by the way of heaven.
"In this way, I swear that I will not take the initiative to destroy the soul flag as long as you don't bite me back. Once you violate it, my cultivation will be stagnant and I will never be reincarnated."
"Okay, I also swear that I will not bite you if you don't destroy the soul flag, otherwise it will be completely destroyed."
As the two of them swore to the heaven above their heads.
Tu Shanjun didn't know what was happening to Ding Xie, but he felt an extra weight in his heart.
Swearing before time travel is like farting, but in the world of immortal cultivators, the heaven above your head is really useful.
Ding Xie let out a long breath and removed the shadow of the pagoda.
"It's just one or two living souls. How about letting them go?" Ding Xie asked.
Tu Shanjun shook his head: "There is no way."
"That's right. If there is no limit to this kind of treasure, that would be a problem."
Tu Shanjun didn't say anything more and directly withdrew from Ding Xie's sea of consciousness.
Opening his eyes, Ding Xie looked at the Zhang Xu Soul Flag in his hand.
Use mana to shake and immediately take back all the released souls.
When such a change occurred, everyone was surprised and confused.
Liu Chuang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Senior, has it been resolved?"
Ding Xie shook his head. Not only did he not solve it, he also reached an agreement with the main soul of the soul flag.
But there's nothing he can do about it, he can't solve this problem, and neither can the main soul of the soul banner solve this problem.
Once the living soul enters the soul banner, it cannot be separated out, at least not with his current strength.
"I will ask the disciples for help when I get back, so you don't have to worry too much." Ding Xie still told a lie, a white lie.
Liu Chuang wanted to say something else, but his junior brother Wang Cheng quickly stopped him.
Don't get into trouble with your seniors at this time. If you offend your seniors, they won't get any good results and will be punished when they return to the sect.
After spending so long, the seniors couldn't solve the problem. If Liu Chuang continued to ask questions, it would really be annoying.
Although Song Ran also wanted to ask, she was held back by Xu Qing. Taking into account the three children, she also swallowed the words at the end.
"I still have things to take care of."
Ding Xie didn't stay long, and Teng Yun left in the mist and rainbow.
Tu Shanjun inside the banner looked back and saw that the person behind him became smaller and smaller, and even the beam became smaller and smaller.
The foundation-building monk's Soaring Cloud and Mist is not very high, only a few dozen feet above the ground.
“I don’t know when I can come back again.”
Tushanjun couldn't help but sigh.
Ding Xie came from outside the state, and the two reached an agreement. Tu Shanjun would definitely go outside the state together.
Xiaolingzhou carries a lot, and he also meets many people here, both good and bad.
The surrounding scene became more and more familiar. Tu Shanjun asked: "Nanyue Mountain?"
"This should be the ruins of the Blood Spirit Palace."
Ding Xie measured Nanyue Mountain, took out a blank map and injected it with mana.
Then he fell in front of the formation: "Xiaolingzhou is not a big place, but there are quite a lot of things. Fortunately, they are gathered relatively close, so we can solve them together."
After finishing his words, Ding Xie crossed his legs and used the spirit stone to restore his mana.
An hour passed, and Ding Xie suddenly stood up and flew through the formation in front of him.
The blood demon in the blood pool suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the figure flying in the sky.
