"You are right, those people are people I shouldn’t be killing." Duan Hen answered very simply.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and asked, "Are those people the members of Elders Council?"

Duan Hen nodded his head.

Shen Yanxiao then said, "Then this deal between us is not fair. Although Luo Fan and Elder Wen want to harm me, they still have to see if they have the ability. You telling me their plans only makes it more convenient for me to move. But what you want from me is that I slaughter the elders of the Elders Council. Not considering that you want me to kill a few people, just the fact that the members of your Seven Kingdoms’ Elders Council are all strong and possess Mythological Beasts, do you think I will agree to this deal?" The contributions of both sides were totally not equal. Shen Yanxiao would not agree unless she were stupid.

"What I want to trade with you is more than Luo Fan. I can promise you. As long as you help me do what I want, I can give you all the forces that the Seven Kingdoms have in the Barren Land, including Twilight City." Duan Hen said after taking a deep breath.

"Give me?" Shen Yanxiao slightly raised an eyebrow. She heard an unusual flavor in Duan Hen’s promise.

Targeting the Seven Kingdoms’ Elders Council, and also daring to promise to give her the Barren Land forces of the Seven Kingdoms; only a king of a country could lay out such a promise.

The appetite of Duan Hen was also not small.

"Do you think I’ll believe you can do that?" The idea was good, but in the end, it was merely an idea that couldn’t be done. She couldn’t go on this kind of venture, at least she couldn’t take any risk until he offered enough chips that she deemed acceptable.

"I will prove that I can do it. Just give me time, I will show you enough chips for our deal." There was a confident and firm expression on Duan Hen's face. "I’m not asking you to take action right now. Allow me a year's time to prove that I can do it; at that time, it will not be too late for you to complete our deal. Telling you about Luo Fan's matter is expressing my sincerity."

Shen Yanxiao smiled. She never thought that Duan Hen would have such a big ambition.

What he wanted was not the Twilight City but the entire Seven Kingdoms!

"A year? Then I’ll see if you really can do it. If you really have the confidence to sit on the throne of the Seven Kingdoms after the accidental loss of the people in the Elders Council, I will promise to take the deal." Shen Yanxiao ’s eyes jumped with flames of excitement. Ambitious people could do great things. If Duan Hen had such skill, she might as well push the boat along with the current.

"But, how do you know that I will want your Barren Land territory?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Duan Hen. She had not yet developed all the areas of the Long Xuan Empire’s territory. And here, Duan Hen actually wanted to offer her the ownership of their Barren Land territory in exchange for her help?

Duan Hen looked at Shen Yanxiao and pointed to his own eyes.

"You are not a person who is willing to be restrained. I know that The Rising Sun City of yours does not belong to the Long Xuan Empire, and you are already developing another city. I can see ambition in your eyes." Like him, she was not content with the current situation and did not want to be a subject to other humans’ ambitions.

Shen Yanxiao had strength and courage. He needed an ally, an ally who could help him eradicate the most critical enemies.

"Oh?" Shen Yanxiao chuckled, she slowly stood up and stared at Duan Hen then said, "Duan Hen, whether our deal will be successful or not depends on your own strength. If you are able to gather enough chips a year later, send people to The Rising Sun City to find me and I will help you get rid of those unsightly people."
