The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 869 The negotiations broke down!
Song Wanning didn't act arrogantly because of this, and remained very polite throughout.

But her attitude was firm: if a cooperation was reached, then she would have to follow the leader's requirements and regulations.

Of course, they also get their share of the benefits.

After stating her conditions, Song Wanning leaned back slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"But everyone needs to think this through. If you can't do it, then there's no point in talking anymore."

"If anyone tries to challenge my authority as the leader of the alliance, then we'll just have to wait for war to break out."

Although she was smiling, she showed no sign of compromising.

Whether these people came here genuinely wanting to join the Tian Shu Alliance or just looking to take advantage of the situation, only they themselves know the answer.

And it's not that she can't take these islands; it just takes her some time.

As for the future, we can discuss everything together, but in the first few decades of its establishment, she must have absolute decision-making power.

As soon as Song Wanning finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent.

After all, her attitude wasn't exactly friendly; everyone was being so polite, yet she made some harsh remarks at the end...

But... everyone seems to understand; it all depends on how each person chooses to proceed.

Just as everyone was hesitating, one of them spoke up with some dissatisfaction: "Heh, Fellow Daoist, you have quite the nerve. Just because you're a master alchemist, you think you can manipulate us?"

"With so many of us, are you saying we're afraid of you?"

"At that point, forget about having the power to make decisions; you might not even be alive!"

The speaker was Yan Shisan, who was known as the God of Slaughter and possessed formidable strength.

He had been silent until now, and only now is he expressing his dissatisfaction.

He didn't want to come in the first place, but he was very curious about Song Wanning. He didn't expect Song Wanning to be so domineering and want to rule them directly.

How could he possibly accept that?

She's just a Celestial Immortal cultivator. Do they really think they wouldn't dare to touch her?
As soon as Yan Shisan appeared, the others exchanged glances.

Everyone is used to being the island's owner; who would want to be managed by a mere cultivator like Song Wanning?

They came here to get a share of the pie, not to find the owner.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't object if someone took the lead.

Ye Lantian watched from the side and silently shook his head. These people still didn't know Song Wanning's determination!

The hall fell silent.

After a long while, Song Wanning gently raised her eyebrows and a smile appeared on her lips.

"So, what do you want to ask for?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shisan's face flashed with arrogance, and he let out another cold snort.

"It's very simple. We'll all control the Tian Shu Alliance together. We're all elders. You'll just be responsible for providing the pills every month. You'll continue to manage Wu Hai Island!"

He acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without a trace of a joke in his eyes.

As soon as this request was made, Ye Lantian immediately exclaimed that it was not a good idea.

Yan Shisan is finished now; he's really going to the underworld.

He glanced at Shi Ling among the group, winked at her, and gestured for her not to get involved.

Seeing Ye Lantian's appearance, Shi Ling hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Ye Lantian and continue to act as if he were invisible.

But some people couldn't sit still and started echoing Yan Shisan's words.

“Yan Shisan is right. We are the island owners, so let’s continue to manage our island.”

"But Fellow Daoist Song needs to provide the pills; only then can we keep them in check!"

"Of course, we will also provide Fellow Daoist Song with some medicinal herbs every month, so we won't take these pills for free!"

The man looked very serious, as if he thought he was being very reasonable.

But Song Wanning found these words laughable.

Medicinal herbs?
Even if they kneel down and offer herbs, those alchemy masters might not be willing to refine pills for them.

She even acted as if she had gotten the better deal. Song Wanning moved her wrist.

She definitely prefers taking direct action; it's much more straightforward than negotiating with these people.

"So, this is what you all plan to do?"

Song Wanning remained expressionless, and it was impossible to discern her emotions.

Does this mean they all have to give their opinions?
The group looked at each other, clearly hesitant.

Ye Lantian looked at Shi Ling again.

Shi Ling's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips, and said proactively, "I choose to accept Fellow Daoist Song's proposal."

"Alchemy masters aren't people who work for us for free, and I believe Fellow Daoist Song won't let us down."

Now that she had decided to join the Tian Shu Alliance, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Song Wan Ning.

Her "betrayal" caused the expressions of the others to change.

No one expected Shi Ling to compromise so easily; they were still fighting for their rights!
But Shi Ling didn't even glance at them, only staring at Song Wanning with a genuine smile.

Song Wanning was also somewhat surprised by this, and nodded with a smile, then glanced at Ye Lantian.

Ye Lantian smiled ingratiatingly at Song Wanning. These people didn't know Song Wanning's combat strength, but he knew it all too well.

I really don't dare to have even the slightest thought now.

Just the sheer amount of time reversal would force all those present, no matter how powerful, to confess.

What's the use of powerful weapons and magical artifacts?

Going back in time would be pointless; it would all be just empty talk.

Unless a quasi-saint comes along and can break through that time attribute with sheer strength, that would be a different story.

Anyway, he doesn't have that ability.

Shi Ling's decision has once again put everyone in a dilemma.

Yan Shisan gave Shi Ling an unfriendly look. "Hmph, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shi Ling to be so easy to talk to, with no backbone at all..."

What an idiot!

Shi Ling wasn't intimidated by him, but said coldly, "It's my own choice. Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"you--"

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, and several cultivators around them quickly intervened, saying that now was the time to negotiate and any problems could be resolved privately.

Seeing that the scene was about to descend into chaos, Song Wanning didn't want to waste any more time.

Her face darkened, and she said to the group, "Since you have made your choice, please leave."

"However, if you choose to join the Tian Shu Alliance later, all the previous conditions will be null and void. Please think carefully!"

"Of course, I would be happy to stay if you wish."

Song Wanning tilted her head, looking extremely arrogant.

Yan Shisan was furious, feeling that Song Wanning was far too arrogant.

His face darkened; he naturally understood what Song Wanning meant.

If any of them wanted to stay and cause trouble, she would be happy to oblige and wasn't afraid of them at all.

This is blatant provocation!

Even if Song Wanning could beat Ye Lantian, so what?

Could I possibly defeat all of them?

only……

Since no one else made a move, he couldn't afford to make enemies alone and let others benefit.

Yan Shisan snorted coldly, stood up, and flicked his sleeves.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, then so be it. We'll give Fellow Daoist Song some time to think it over!"

"If you can't accept this, you'll have to pay a much higher price to cooperate in the future!"
