Chapter 133 Negotiation
At this moment in Donghai City, the headquarters of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce.

On the top floor of a tall building, Huo Wuji, with his silver-white hair, quietly gazed at the uninvited guest before him and said calmly, "I wonder what brings you here to see me, Chief Steward?"

Xiang Shuhuai looked at Huo Wuji, the leader of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce, who was at the peak of his power, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He really didn't expect that a small organization that originally needed to rely on the Seven Treasures Glazed Chamber of Commerce to sell soul guides could actually emerge from the sea within a few months. The trend is already set.

Even as a Titled Douluo at level 93, he still couldn't sense the true strength of the silver-haired man in front of him.

"President Huo, I'm actually here for negotiations."

Xiang Shuhuai took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Negotiation? What kind of negotiation?"

Huo Wuji regarded Xiang Shuhuai with amusement, his intentions already apparent. The East China Sea's humid and fertile climate had created numerous commercial opportunities, but the rise of the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce had upended the existing landscape. East China Sea City was now like a deep ocean, its undercurrents surging and its complex web of interests difficult to fathom.

In the past, the Tang Clan branch could only retreat here under the onslaught of commerce. Even under the covert and overt targeting of the patrol and security forces composed of the Armored Beast Tribe, it was almost impossible for them to act as recklessly as before.

Rather than saying that this was the first time they met, it would be more accurate to say that Huo Wuji had already had several confrontations with this unprepossessing fat man in front of him.

Xiang Shuhuai is well aware of the capabilities and means of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce. The Huo Wuji in front of him is no ordinary opponent. It is obvious that the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce, whose status is growing, poses a huge threat to the Tang Sect.

If it weren't for the previous phone call, Xiang Shuhuai would never have set foot outside the Tang Sect branch.

But this time, he came prepared!

Thinking of this action and the **negotiation**, Xiang Shuhuai's heart was stirred: "I want to talk to you about future cooperation."

Huo Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, scanning Xiang Shuhuai with his indifferent yet slightly inquiring gaze. He didn't have much affection for this Tang Clan branch leader, but the current situation forced him to take it seriously.

"Cooperation? Are you saying that under the current circumstances, our two companies can work together, or do you want my Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce to give up its current interests?"

Huo Wuji's voice was low, but it was slightly sharp.

Xiang Shuhuai wasn't frightened by Huo Wuji's tone. Instead, he said bluntly, "I believe in the strength and potential of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce. However, as you rise, you will inevitably encounter more challenges. Although the Tang Sect is currently keeping a low profile, we possess a rich intelligence network and resources, which may help the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce avoid some unnecessary trouble in its future development."

Huo Wuji couldn't help but laugh, a hint of teasing in his voice. "Your intelligence network? In this area, who doesn't know about the Tang Sect? It's no longer as prominent as it used to be. Do you think you can rely on your past influence to restore order?"

"Of course not, but we can rebuild our image. If we can reach a consensus on certain issues and achieve mutual benefit, that would be killing two birds with one stone."

Xiang Shuhuai spoke firmly, his eyes gleaming with determination. "For example, is the Robot Beast Chamber of Commerce really only willing to develop in the East China Sea?"

Huo Wuji shook his head, as if thinking, and then he said, "So what kind of 'cooperation' do you mean? I don't welcome any disguised humble transactions."

"The Tang Sect has a long and rich history. On this planet, no force would disrespect the Tang Sect. Aside from the Sun-Moon Federation, the Tang Sect also has long-established branches in the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire."

"As long as the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with our Tang Sect, we will be able to establish an unprecedented monopoly in the field of soul guides!"

Xiang Shuhuai's voice echoed in the spacious conference room, carrying a mixture of confidence and tentativeness. He stared intently at Huo Wuji, trying to detect any hesitation or interest in his reaction.

However, Huo Wuji's expression remained calm, as if Xiang Shuhuai's proposal hadn't caused him much of a stir. "A long history doesn't grant you any special privileges."

Huo Wuji spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, "Let me guess, what are the conditions for your cooperation?"

"Sharing technology? Inserting personnel?"

Xiang Shuhuai smiled faintly, seemingly unsurprised by Huo Wuji's bluntness. He nodded gently, his tone tinged with sincerity, "President Huo is indeed perceptive. We in the Tang Sect truly hope to engage in in-depth technological cooperation, especially in the field of soul guides. The Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce's innovations in soul guides have already captured the attention of the entire continent, and we in the Tang Sect have a deep understanding of traditional soul guide manufacturing techniques. If we can combine our strengths, we will undoubtedly achieve absolute dominance in the soul guide market."

Huo Wuji didn't respond immediately. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked to the window, his gaze fixed on the bustling Donghai City in the distance. His fingers tapped lightly on the window frame, as if he was lost in thought.

"Steward Xiang, your proposal sounds very tempting."

Huo Wuji's voice remained calm, but a hint of depth lingered in his tone. "But I'd like to know what exactly you, the Tang Sect, want? Is it just technical cooperation, or do you hope to use this opportunity to regain influence in the East China Sea?"

A glint flashed in Xiang Shuhuai's eyes. He knew Huo Wuji wasn't someone to be easily fooled. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "President Huo, let's be frank. The Tang Sect hopes to obtain the inherited skills of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce and share them with us."

See you in the picture!

No force knows better than the Tang Clan the benefits that a unique and unparalleled skill can bring to a legacy force.

Xuantian Gong, Purple Demon Eye, and Crane Control Gong
These unique skills of the Tang Sect, passed down by the Tang Sect's founder 20,000 years ago, have made the combat effectiveness of the Tang Sect members more than 30% stronger than that of soul masters of the same level.

The unique skills Chenzhou displayed during the Tianhai Alliance competition, especially his elusive swordsmanship and body movements, had already caught the attention of the Tang Sect's top brass. They realized that Chenzhou's unique skills might be just as good as the Tang Sect's, and might even be more sophisticated in some aspects.

If these unique skills can be incorporated into the Tang Sect's system, the Tang Sect's strength will surely reach a new level!!!
Huo Wuji's lips curled up slightly upon hearing Xiang Shuhuai's proposal, revealing a meaningful smile. He turned, gazed at Xiang Shuhuai with a sharp gaze, and said slowly, "Manager Xiang, you have quite a big appetite. However, do you think our Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce will easily give up our inherited unique skills?"

Xiang Shuhuai didn't flinch. Instead, he straightened his back and said firmly, "President Huo, I'm not asking you to hand over your unique skills for free. We can reach a cooperation through an equal exchange. The Tang Sect is willing to provide all of our soul guide manufacturing technology, even some core secrets. In addition, we can also provide the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce with the greatest support in terms of resources, connections, and other aspects. Isn't such an offer enough to make you tempted?"

Huo Wuji was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons. He slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, his eyes still fixed on Xiang Shuhuai.

Just when Xiang Shuhuai thought he had convinced Huo Wuji, loud mocking laughter broke the silence in the meeting room.

"President Huo, what do you mean?!"

Xiang Shuhuai's face instantly turned gloomy. The laughter was full of arrogance, which made him feel uneasy.

"Of course I'm just teasing you!"

"You don't really think that our Mechanical Beast Chamber is willing to cooperate with a Tang Sect like you, who are rotten to the core and only rely on past glory?"

Huo Wuji smiled and shook his head, his eyes revealing contempt, as if he were looking at a small insect trying to fight for its life. Xiang Shuhuai's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"You might as well think about it."
