The Elders Who Combine Kindness and Authority_3 Chapter 914: 370: The Legend of Ghost Emperor Yuan!
The Elders Who Combine Kindness and Authority_3 His expression immediately turned solemn as he articulated the well-prepared justification, informing the other party that he had been compelled by the circumstances and had no other choice.
Then he proceeded to test the feasibility of the matter.
“If the Ghost Shades can trade with the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, why can’t we bring them over to trade with us?
You must know that the River of Styx Water below Nether Spring and many powerful Soul Spiritual Objects are extremely rare.
Now, as we are at war with the cultivators from the Outer Realms, having access to these resources would serve as an incentive for the cultivators from all Sects.”
“No.”
Zuo Qiuling almost instantly shook his head in prohibition, speaking seriously.
...
“The threat of the Nether Spring Ghost Shades is no less than that of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
Although I don’t know the specifics, both our Four Oceans and your Four Regions have maintained a silent pact for thousands of years, which is to completely seal off the channels of interaction with the Ghost Shades….
This kind of request should be made by the Dao Monarchs above.
You can’t bring it up, nor can I.”
“In that case….”

Chen Dengming’s complexion changed slightly, and he quickly realized that this was a taboo he currently should not touch, possibly involving some ancient fossils, and he should not meddle recklessly.Zuo Qiuling looked at Chen Dengming deeply, “My visit this time is not just to celebrate your achievements, but mainly to talk about this matter.
You are young and although your reputation has risen rapidly, you must also be careful not to step into a deep pit unwittingly.”
Chen Dengming’s expression became earnest, clearly understanding that Zuo Qiuling was giving him a pointer.
He immediately bowed solemnly in thanks.
“However, I heard you wanted to find someone under Nether Spring.
As long as it’s not you going personally…
but rather commanding ghosts to do it…”
Zuo Qiuling put down his teacup and hinted in a whispered transmission, “Take advantage of the fact that it’s still wartime, act on your own discretion, but remember, absolutely do not touch the resource trade between the two domains, and do not violate the taboo…
”
“Elder Zuo, rest assured!”
…
After seeing Zuo Qiuling out, Chen Dengming closed the door and glanced at the gloomy sky in the distance, exhaling softly.
This Elder Zuo truly had his methods: congratulatory wishes, sounding a warning, reminding, cautioning, and implicitly extending goodwill…
Through a series of steps, he had established authority while also conveying benefits and fostering relations, and Chen Dengming had to acknowledge it.
He had no choice but to acknowledge it because Elder Zuo had indeed offered benefits.
He indicated that he could turn a blind eye to the task of sending Chu Xun to explore beneath Nether Spring if it was dispatched by him.
This was naturally because he was highly distinguished in the current war.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have received such a blind-eye treatment.
Nevertheless, he wouldn’t touch the matter of Ghost Shades exchanging resources himself; it would definitely have to be reported to the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.
The so-called touching of the taboo wouldn’t actually happen at all.
This matter might well have been leaked during the reporting process by cultivators like Bi Renshan.
He wouldn’t trouble those subordinates for such routine matters.
“It seems now that resource sharing is akin to smuggling, and sending Old Zhu down is just like smuggling a few ghosts; the severity is different…”
Chen Dengming turned and strode back to his room, resolved to proceed as planned and send Old Zhu down.
As for the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, naturally, he would first stave them off with false promises, delaying for ten or twenty years, which should be enough time for Old Zhu to search for someone beneath Nether Spring.
To the Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, ten or twenty years was not an exceptionally long time, and they would not grow impatient.
“Sister, start packing.
We’ll be preparing to return to the Sect in a couple of days.”
Once inside the house, Chen Dengming gave an order.
With his tasks completed here, he needed to hurry back to the Sect to attempt cultivation in the Hall of Human Heart.
In a few days’ time, the Dark Spirit would have taken control of two Ghost Brides.
By then, all he had to do was send Old Zhu into Nether Spring and he could head back home.
“We’re going back so soon?” A soft and beautiful voice came from inside the house.
“If it weren’t for waiting for Six Eyebrows True Monarch to finish refining my second Magic Treasure, I would have departed today.
By the way, I’ll take another bucket of River of Styx Water later to trade for some Artifact Refining insights for you.
You haven’t used up the River of Styx Water, have you…”
He Yingyu walked out of the house, and her face turned red at his words, “The ones you gave me, I’ve used them all once, now they’re all for bathing.
Give them away?
Although it doesn’t affect the Artifact Refining…but…”
Chen Dengming was momentarily speechless.
His sister truly took the matter of personal care to heart.
Because the River of Styx Water had the effect of chilling the skin and preserving youthfulness, bathing often in it could nourish a fair, cold complexion.
His sister frequently used River of Styx Water for baths.
Fortunately, he had plenty of River of Styx Water.
But now, he definitely could not give Six Eyebrows True Monarch the bathwater used by his own wife.
He would have to dig into his own reserves…
