Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King

Looking at the calm Su An, Zheng Nanzhi pursed his lips and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She knew from the noise that the force grenades and bombs that exploded were level three, which were not something that ordinary three-star sects could equip in large quantities.

Even she cherishes it very much when using it.

Su An, however, buried them in patches in the street. You can imagine how much this round of explosions cost. His skill was as big as a level [-] grenade for free.

Extraordinary sects usually plan carefully when going out to fight. After all, missions are victorious and defeated. In many cases, the ammunition may not be able to gain much military merit. The result of lavish spending is that it cannot make ends meet. In the long run, the sect will inevitably decline.

Almost no sect would be like Su An, who spent all the sect's remaining wealth on weapons and ammunition, and took them all with them when they went out. Not to mention, Su An also contributed his military achievements.

If you fail once, you will lose everything.

Su An isn't worried about this?

Of course he was worried, but not too worried.

When members of the Anxia Sect rushed to the spot where Liu Tao and others were bombed to clear out the fish that had slipped through the net, Su An turned slightly and looked at the rolling hills somewhere outside the town.

The fierce fighting in the town has never stopped, and few people noticed the fluctuations in the force there, but Su An and Zhang Yuying noticed the fighting during the battle.

Those are not extraordinary beings at their level.

One of the warring parties must be the enemy.

If such a master were to join the battle and help Wanyan Haoqing, the Anxia Sect would not only be wiped out, but would at least suffer heavy casualties. Even if Su An escaped with his life and failed to defeat the defenders and regain the town, the points earned before may not be able to make up for the losses in this battle.

But at that moment, Su An did not lead his troops to evacuate, but continued to advance the battle.

There are powerful enemies outside the town, but aren't there also experts on our side?

Recalling everything that happened during the last mission, Su An had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were deep.

Liu Tao was not killed in the explosion. He, a sixth-level subordinate, and two lucky fourth- and fifth-level sect members survived, but they were seriously injured and captured by the Anxia Sect.

"Can Sect Master Su give me a favor and let me kill him with my own hands?" Zheng Nanzhi gritted his teeth with hatred as soon as he saw Liu Tao, wishing to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.

"Okay." Su An stood with his hands behind his back and looked free and easy, "But I don't recommend that Zheng Zong do this."

Zheng Nanzhi was stunned and looked at Su An in confusion.

Su An said: "Did Sect Leader Zheng suffer a lot in this battle?"

As soon as he said this, Zheng Nanzhi's eyes turned red and he lowered his head sadly, with a lonely face. His shoulders seemed to have shrunk in size, making him look particularly thin.

In this mission, she brought out all the elites of the sect, but did not get much military merit. Now there are only a dozen or so of the more than [-] people left. Not only did they lose all their money, the sect's strength was also greatly reduced.

What's more serious is that after experiencing such a disastrous defeat, her personal prestige and that of the sect have plummeted.

After returning, I am afraid that many of the remaining people will not want to follow her anymore. When the elites die in battle or run away, the rest of the sect members will see that their future is bleak, and many of them will leave due to panic, and many people outside will leave. Social extraordinary people may not be willing to join.

In the fierce competition among social sects, how could her opponent not take immediate action to seize and divide her sect's industry when he saw her sect lose its fighting power?

At that time, her sect will face a situation of falling apart, and it is very likely that there will be nothing when she wakes up.

The reality is cruel. Many new sects are established in Jizhou City every year, and many old sects decline.

Ordinary sects cannot bear such a big loss. There are many examples of sects losing miserably in one battle and losing the whole game. The more star-rated and weak sects are, the more so.

This is why Su An confiscated so much personal property of the sect masters when he received the inheritance from the Mingcheng Sect and Donghai Sect. Only by accumulating more personal wealth can their lives not be too miserable when the sect is defeated.

Zheng Nanzhi asked himself that he had always been good to the members of the sect and provided good welfare benefits. Even if the sect suffered a major defeat under normal circumstances, the sect would not be destroyed.

But this time is different.

First of all, the defeat was too severe this time, and most of the elites lost;

Secondly, the defeat was too humiliating. It would be fine if she couldn't defeat her in a strong fight, but she was deceived and deceived. If word spread, people would not believe in her ability as the sect leader.

Because of this, Zheng Nanzhi hated Liu Tao so much that he could not suppress the urge to kill him to vent his anger.

Su An's words opened up her scars, making her feel like a knife, and she lost her face in front of everyone. The other person's image in her mind was originally very high, and she was grateful to Su An.

But now, her affection for Su An has weakened.

Zheng Nanzhi is a thoughtful and sensitive person. She can't help but speculate:

A young sect leader led the sect to a great victory, but the older sect leader himself severely damaged the sect's vitality. Did Su An ask this question out of a desire to show off his prowess and success in public?

Zheng Nanzhi suppressed his grief and forced a smile as normal as possible to make himself look less embarrassed. Then he asked without any resentment: "What did Sect Master Su want to say?"

She really has no resentment. The other party saved her after all. What's wrong with showing off in front of her?

She just felt sad.

Zheng Nanzhi's smile fell in Su An's eyes, which was doubly sad and sad. There was indescribable sadness and bitterness in those peach blossom eyes like pool water.

However, she was still trying her best to hide all her emotions and stubbornly refused to show any signs of weakness. Little did she know that it was this persistence that made her look even more pitiful.

Su An couldn't help but soften her tone: "With the current situation of the 'Nanyan Sect', I'm afraid the situation will not be too good after returning. If Sect Master Zheng is willing, the Anxia Sect can provide shelter."

Zheng Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded: "Sect Master Su wants to recruit us?"

The bitterness in her heart deepened, and the cramps came one after another, making it almost impossible to calm down.

That's right, after this defeat, the Nanyan Sect is likely to fall apart. She can no longer be the leader of the sect for a few days. In this case, she must consider the future way out.

Now is the time when Nanyan Sect is most vulnerable, and it is also when she is most helpless. Su An's proposal to recruit her at this moment will probably make many members of Nanyan Sect excited.

After all, who doesn’t want to join a powerful sect?

It's just that Su An's behavior seemed too eager and took advantage of others.

After all, the Nanyan Sect has not yet collapsed, and she, Zheng Nanzhi, is still the sect leader, so there is a possibility of saving the building from collapse.

Su An made this suggestion in front of her, but it was actually for the members of the Nanyan Sect. It made the Nanyan Sect, who was already panic-stricken, dissociate, which was equivalent to giving the Nanyan Sect the last push to collapse.

Su An's ultimate goal is to force her to accept the proposal.

If you accept the proposal now, you can still take the initiative to merge the sect members into the Anxia Sect, find a good way out for the sect members, and have some status in the Anxia Sect in the future.

If she didn't agree, she would have nothing left when the members of the Nanyan Sect gradually joined the Anxia Sect as individuals, and then the sect would also die.

For Su An, incorporating the Nanyan Sect would not only obtain a group of senior soldiers, but also take advantage of the situation and acquire various industries of the Nanyan Sect at low prices. This could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

As for how low this "low price" is, it depends on the outcome of subsequent negotiations between the two parties, but there is no doubt that An Xia Zong, who took advantage of the situation, will definitely make huge profits.

Zheng Nanzhi silently clenched his fists, his thin shoulders were shaking slightly, and his knuckles were bloodless.

If she was sensible enough, she should discuss the price with Su An now, but she... was not emotionally able to accept it.

The sect that was finally established after years of hard work, life and death, and many years of hard work had to be handed over to others just because of a failure and a wrong trust in an old friend. Zheng Nanzhi's inner humiliation, grief and indignation were so intense that it was beyond words.

It would be difficult for her to have a good impression of Su An.

"Why did Sect Leader Zheng say this?"

Just by looking at Zheng Nanzhi's expression, Su An knew that the other party was wrong, and the wrong idea was very far away, "I don't want to incorporate the Nanyan Sect."

"Not recruitment?" Zheng Nanzhi's heart dropped to the bottom of the valley and suddenly returned to her throat. She looked at Su An in confusion, "What does Sect Leader Su mean?"

Su An said: "Cooperation."

"How to cooperate?" Zheng Nanzhi was still nervous. She was afraid that the other party would just change her name to a nicer one.

Su An looked around and found a restaurant not far away. Although the restaurant had been severely damaged during the war, it still had relatively complete tables and chairs. He motioned to Zheng Nanzhi:

"Let's sit down somewhere and talk."

When they came to the restaurant and sat down face to face, Su An said solemnly: "Has Zheng Zongzong ever heard of the Anxia League?"

After some introduction, Su An continued: "Anxia League's development in Dongping District has encountered a bottleneck. If we want to go further in the short term, we will either move upward or expand horizontally.

“As we develop upward, we will compete head-on with the established behemoths in Dongping District, who basically have strong family power and government backgrounds. This option is not suitable for us at the moment.

“To expand horizontally, you have to enter other urban areas and compete for food from the original forces. This is also not easy. If you want to take this path, it is best to cooperate with local forces and open channels.

"Changxing District where Nanyan Sect is located is adjacent to Dongping District. If Nanyan Sect is willing to join the Anxia League, it will be a situation that is beneficial to both of us.

“Everyone works together to get what they need and develop together.

"What do you think, Zheng Zong?"

Zheng Nanzhi's heart was pounding, but she was still a little embarrassed: "But our Nanyan Sect suffered a huge defeat and its strength was greatly reduced. It has financial difficulties. Even if we join the Anxia Sect, we can't provide much help..."

Su An smiled softly: "Zong Zheng can rest assured about this. I just said that cooperation is a situation that is beneficial to both of us.

"Now that we have defeated the headquarters of a reinforced regiment of monsters, killed many monsters with extraordinary combat power, and recovered the town, the military merit bonus will be very generous.

“This battle can be successful because the Nanyan Sect has contributed a lot.

"If Sect Master Zheng hadn't led his men into the city first and was willing to use himself as bait to contain the extraordinary combat power of the enemy in the town, disrupt the defenders' arrangements, attract the opponent's attention, and force the opponent to reveal many flaws, our subsequent offensive would not have been successful. Advance.

“This is our first collaboration.

"I will truthfully state in the battle report that Sect Master Zheng has already discovered Liu Tao's true identity, and has used the plan to cooperate with our troops, willing to sacrifice for victory.

"The details that Sect Master Zheng needs to add are that he has been familiar with me for a long time and had communicated with me before the war."

After hearing these words, Zheng Nanzhi opened his soft and passionate eyes, opened his moist and smooth red lips, looked at Su An in disbelief, and could not say a word for a long time.
