Chapter 1403: An Old Friend's Request
After hearing what Wuhuji said, Duan Qing immediately understood.
Wuhuji would never let him go today.
He and Wuhuji had been together for more than a day or two, and he knew Wuhuji's character very well.
Duan Qing sighed inwardly and glanced at Nanying and others behind him.
"Juniors can stay, but I hope Senior Wu will let them go for the sake of our past friendship!"
Wuhuji glanced at the 100,000 monks behind Duan Qing and shook his head slowly: "Not now!"
"Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?" Duan Qing still didn't want to give up.
"No!" Wuhuji refused decisively.
After that, Wuhuji added: "They are just dispensable to this king. When the time is right, this king will let them go."
It seems that the only person Wuhuji really wants to keep is him!
Duan Qing was a little depressed and nodded helplessly.
...
Three days later
Inside the Sui ship heading to the Evil Emperor Star, Duan Qing and Wuhuji stood side by side at the bow, looking at the unimaginably large Evil Emperor Star in front of them.
Compared with the Evil Emperor Star, the Destiny Star is like an ant under the feet of an elephant!
Duan Qing had seen many life planets, but apart from the Black Emperor Star, he had never seen one as big as the Evil Emperor Star.
"My Sui Clan is different from your Xianling League. Your Xianling League has tens of thousands of life planets in its three star regions, but my Sui Clan has only five main life planets!" Wuhuji explained on the side.
Duan Qing nodded slightly, slightly shocked.
Although the Sui Clan has few life planets, this Evil Emperor Star is probably equivalent to at least thousands of life planets in the Xianling League!
The scale of the Black Emperor Star is similar to that of the Evil Emperor Star, and the other three are probably the same.
"Duan boy, are you still wondering why the king doesn't let you leave?" Wuhuji suddenly asked.
Duan Qing glanced at Wuhuji, without saying a word, waiting for Wuhuji to continue.
Wu Huji stared at the Evil Emperor Star in front of him: "Do you know that my Sui Clan is in a ceasefire and peace talks with your Xianling League?"
Duan Qing still did not respond, but nodded nonchalantly.
He had known about this before he came to the Sui Clan. It was because of the ceasefire and peace talks between the two sides that Xingyunjian had a long-lost peace.
"Then do you know that this ceasefire and peace talks were initiated by my Sui Clan."
"What exactly does Senior Wu want to say?"
"When this king was still in trouble, the clan unanimously decided to cease fire with the Xianling League and proposed to resolve the dispute with the Xianling League by fighting."
"If my Sui Clan wins, it can gain control of a number of life planets including your Xianling League's Wuxu Star. If it loses, my Sui Clan will permanently withdraw from Xingyunjian."
Duan Qing was very surprised. There were actually these things behind the ceasefire and peace talks. He had never heard of them.
After thinking for a while, Duan Qing frowned and said, "This condition... seems unfair!"
"In terms of single entities, the Sui Clan itself has an advantage, and the conditions for winning and losing are obviously favorable to the Sui Clan."
"Wuxu Star was originally the territory of the Fairy Alliance, and Xingyunjian is shared by both parties!"
Wuhuji laughed: "Haha, kid, you see it clearly."
"However, the top leaders of your Fairy Alliance are not fools. They will naturally make up for the losses they suffered in these two points in other places!"
"So, the top leaders of the Fairy Alliance set the location of the fight inside the Fairy Alliance to occupy the home advantage, and the specific method of the fight is also decided by the Fairy Alliance."
"So that's it."
Duan Qing suddenly realized and was very confused: "But, what does this matter have to do with me?"
"It has a lot to do with you, kid!"
"Your strength, this king knows it very well. If you return to the Fairy Alliance, it will be a big problem for my Sui Clan!"
"This peace negotiation is related to the fate of my Sui Clan. It is a serious matter. I can't stand idly by." Wuhuji's tone gradually became heavy.
Duan Qing smiled helplessly: "Senior Wu, you think too highly of me!"
Wu Huji shook his head gently, obviously disagreeing with Duan Qing's statement.
"You may be insignificant now, but what about decades later?"
"The martial arts competition decided by both parties this time can only be participated by those below the Dao Realm and Sui Jiang Realm. With your potential, if you represent the Immortal Spirit Alliance to fight, I think you know very well what it means to my Sui Clan."
Duan Qing was silent!
Yes, his biggest shortcoming now is that his cultivation is too low. If he is given enough time to grow, why should he be afraid of the Sui Clan of the same realm.
What's more, he has the Xuansu Sword Formation that can restrain the Sui Clan very well. Wu Huji knows this very well.
"So, Senior Wu wants to detain me in the Sui Clan until the competition between the two sides is over?" Duan Qing asked.
Wuhuji glanced at Duan Qing, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly: "No, I want you to represent my Sui Clan to fight in the Immortal Spirit Alliance."
Duan Qing was stunned at first, then shook his head: "I am a human, how can I represent the Sui Clan to fight, senior, don't joke!"
"What's wrong with the human race? You grew up under the influence of my Sui power since childhood, and now you have achieved a small success in the immortal body. You can be said to be half of the Sui Clan. There is absolutely no problem in representing my Sui Clan to fight." Wuhuji refuted immediately.
"No! I hope Senior Wu will seriously consider this matter. There are so many noble masters and countless heroes. I think you still have many choices."
"I believe in my own vision. I have made up my mind on this matter. Whether you are willing or not, you have to represent my Sui Clan to fight this time." Wuhuji's tone was firm, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Duan Qing did not speak, but he was very reluctant.
In his heart, although he had no racial prejudice, he always regarded himself as a human. It was psychologically difficult for him to accept that he represented the Sui Clan to fight.
The most important thing was that Senior Sister Xue and Senior Brother were taken away by the special envoy of the Fairy Spirit Alliance to the Fairy Spirit Star for cultivation, probably for the purpose of truce and fighting with the Sui Clan.
If he represented the Sui Clan to fight, it meant that one day in the future, he might meet Senior Sister Xue and Senior Brother in battle, which he absolutely did not want to see.
Seeing that Duan Qing did not speak, Wuhuji spoke again: "Boy, don't forget that the 100,000 Xianling City monks are still in my hands!"
"Their life and death are all in your hands."
When Wuhuji said this, Duan Qing was immediately shocked and looked at Wuhuji with disbelief.
Even though he had long anticipated that Wuhuji might have other purposes for detaining Nanying and others, when Wuhuji really used Nanying and others to threaten him, he still felt very difficult to accept.
He always felt that his relationship with Wuhuji was very special, both as a teacher and a friend, and he always maintained a kind of respect for Wuhuji.
But all this seemed to be completely insignificant in the face of racial justice!
Seeing Duan Qing's face full of shock, Wuhuji sighed deeply and his expression softened.
"Duan boy, just think of this as a request from an old friend. Once this matter is settled, I will never embarrass you again."
Duan Qing felt a little bitter in his heart. He opened his mouth to say something, but it remained between his lips and teeth. In the end, he just nodded with a sense of loss.
At this point, what choice does he have?
There are 100,000 cultivators in Xianling City, that's 100,000 lives!
What's more, it also includes his good friends Nan Ying and Hu Youwei!
