Chapter 2009: Chapter 2008: No Bargaining
Li Feng spoke while observing the expressions on several faces. It must be said that those who become Demon King Level demons are no ordinary beings.
His gaze met Yue Li in the air, the Wolf Clan beauty who had encountered Li Feng once directly asked, "I don’t want to hear these things, I just want to know how many spots you’re ultimately able to provide us."
"Or rather, how many spots are you willing to provide us?"
Undoubtedly, how many spots Li Feng provides is entirely up to his discretion, which clearly doesn’t align with the interests of those present.
"Indeed, it’s better to fix the number. Otherwise, it won’t be easy for us to allocate, and as far as I know, bloodline modification is not an easy task."
The Bull Demon King looked at Li Feng and asked with a probing tone.
The Lion Clan’s Grand Steward smiled silently, appearing as if everything was under control. Li Feng glanced at the three parties, hinting that they intended to advance and retreat together.
At least on the surface.
Li Feng chuckled inwardly and raised a finger.
"One hundred?"
Yue Li saw Li Feng raising a finger and said, "That’s too few, unless you can provide one hundred spots every day."
"One hundred a day shared among the three clans would be just a few dozen people. This number can’t satisfy our appetite. How about one hundred for each clan?"
Huntian also spoke up, directly increasing the number threefold.
Although he had learned some information from the previously modified trusted aides, these thirty-plus aides underwent the modification simultaneously, so a mere one hundred should not be the limit. However, ten times that amount seemed about right.
After all, bloodline modification and imprinting do consume some Essence Blood. Even if the counterpart has Demon King Level strength, Essence Blood is very precious. Excessive consumption will weaken their power.
Three hundred per day; this number was calculated by Huntian, and it still carries room for negotiation.
Because once Essence Blood is consumed, it cannot be replenished in just one or two days. Typically, consuming Essence Blood takes at least ten days to half a month to recover, and excessive consumption would be calculated over years.
Hearing Huntian say this, Yue Li glanced sideways at Huntian, wondering if this guy was demanding extravagantly due to the trusted aides.
However, Yue Li wouldn’t sabotage this, as it benefits them all. Yue Li looked towards Li Feng, trying to find some clues in Li Feng’s face.
Li Feng’s lips curled slightly upon hearing them.
"You three are truly... ."
Li Feng paused and then said, "Small-minded, a mere one hundred per day for each clan, what’s that worth?"
When Li Feng called them small-minded, several eyebrows raised slightly; this kid dared to call them small-minded.
Yue Li couldn’t hold back and sneered, "Hmm, we’re small-minded, so I wonder how many you’re planning, Feng Yang."
"I originally intended to say one thousand a day, which should still be manageable. But judging from your stance, it seems that one hundred people’s resources per clan is your limit. So, I will fulfill your request, one hundred spots per day per clan. As for the additional spots, I believe many tribes will be interested."
Yue Li was stunned at the number Li Feng mentioned, and the ridicule in Li Feng’s tone made her somewhat unhappy.
But one thousand per day, such a quantity is astonishing. Is this guy suicidal?
"Are you sure?"
Yue Li asked.
"Ha, why ask if you don’t believe? Anyway, I’m just fulfilling your requests. As for the rest, that’s my business. Deliver what I want and send the people, I will fulfill the contract as agreed."
"Since the conditions are settled, I won’t keep you... ." Li Feng was about to say farewell when the Lion Clan Grand Steward, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Wait, since Feng Yang still has spare capacity, we won’t be stingy with some resources. A thousand spots, three hundred per clan for us three."
"As for the extra hundred, let Feng Yang decide, how about it?"
Li Feng looked at the wise Lion Clan Grand Steward: "Can you represent the other two clans? I’m afraid your goodwill may not be accepted by them."
Yue Li looked at the divisive Li Feng, biting her silver teeth silently: "Three hundred per clan, I have no objections."
"I also agree."
Huntian nodded without hesitation, with the quantity exceeding expectations threefold, how could he refuse? As for Li Feng’s attempts to sow discord, Huntian paid no heed, nor did he respond. After all, this Grand Steward had high seniority and formidable strength, commanding respect, but they weren’t from the same tribe.
If they agreed, they would lower themselves.
"Since you all have no objections, let’s proceed. I won’t see you off, you’re free to go."
Li Feng waved.
Yue Li and others didn’t linger further in Li Feng’s tent. After leaving the tent.
Yue Li spoke: "Grand Steward, Huntian, what do you think of this guy from the Fire Phoenix Clan, modifying a thousand people per day? This must consume a considerable amount of Essence Blood. Such audacity, is he hiding more power, or...!"
"Hmm, if he’s hiding power, he wouldn’t be so flamboyant. He would easily agree to our demands, without any extra effort."
Huntian shook his head, puzzled.
"Old Grand Steward, with your experience, can you tell what game he’s playing?"
The Lion Clan Grand Steward shook his head lightly: "Maybe the Fire Phoenix Clan has some secret skill. After all, back in the day, the Fire Phoenix Clan was a peer to the Dragon Emperor, Phoenix Queen’s strength was also formidable. Feng Yang’s emergence might hold its secrets."
"Thinking too much here won’t help; let’s wait and see."
"I’ll be off first." With that said, the Lion Clan Grand Steward leaped and joined the waiting Lion Clan Guard outside, mounting a golden lion and leaving majestically.
"Then farewell."
Huntian didn’t delay either, since the Bull Clan’s right camp was the furthest away, and a day meant today for a thousand people.
"Gu Feng, what do you think?"
Yue Li watched the two Demon Kings leave, turning to Gu Feng.
"I understand your concerns, Yue Li. But from my perspective, perhaps the counterpart’s methods will cause some hidden concerns. Overall, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."
"Suppose a small tribe’s clan leader is held by the counterpart’s grip, then naturally this small tribe will be controlled by them, as small tribes can’t afford losses."
"But for us, even if we’re held by some leverage, so what? In the Wolf Clan, I’m just one of more than ten Demon Kings. I wasn’t a Demon King before, yet the Wolf Clan remained strong. Would the Wolf Clan collapse without me?"
"Certainly not. The Wolf Clan’s strong members are as numerous as clouds, and with the Wolf Commander still there, our status remains unshakable."
"Moreover, three hundred spots a day, even over a month would just form a ten-thousand strong army. Our Wolf Clan’s elite Wolf Riders number twenty thousand, just one out of twenty."
"In this battle against the Ancestor Dragon, we were already prepared for casualties; a mere ten thousand riders wouldn’t be a significant loss."
