Shang Xingyan advised, "Brother Liu, the Coffin Gate's actions this time are too broad and involve too much."

"Xie Ban Gui and Wang Hun also have their own considerations. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even concealed the Eight Ghost Generals of the Ghost Bureau."

"The great calamity of the Art of the World requires people to meet the tribulation, and it's not just in the Art of the World."

"Xie Ban Gui and Wang Hun have both resigned from their positions in the Underworld and are preparing to face the Art of the World's tribulation as ordinary ghosts and gods."

"They naturally have their reasons for doing so."

Shang Xingyan paused and said, "Brother Liu, I'm not speaking up for them."

"It's because the Young Master is too smart and values loyalty too much."

"If Xie Ban Gui and the others had told the Young Master the truth in advance, the Young Master would definitely not have cooperated with them in luring the opponent into the game. Instead, he would have tried every means to get Ye Shao Shuai out of the predicament, and then filled the gap himself."

"In that case, it would be as if the Young Master had blocked their plan."

Old Liu narrowed his eyes, "What if something happens to Ye Dangjia?"

"The Lord will never rest until the Coffin Gate is destroyed!"

Shang Xingyan shook his head, "Brother Liu, you've forgotten one thing. Ye Shao Shuai is a Xiu Yi Wei (embroidered uniform guard)!"

"The Xiu Yi Wei represents that they can be sacrificed at any time."

"How do you know that Ye Shao Shuai's reincarnation this time isn't to deliberately seek death?"

Old Liu's gaze also became gloomy, "Lord Shang, let's talk frankly!"

"What Ye Dangjia thinks and does when he's in the Xiu Yi Wei has nothing to do with our Liang Jie Tang (Two Worlds Hall)."

"But, that's not the case now!"

"Xie Ban Gui, Wang Hun, whether it's for righteousness or for the Art of the World! We will never agree to use our Liang Jie Tang people to set up a game."

"This time, if Ye Dangjia is safe and sound, we may still have room for discussion."

"If anything happens to Ye Dangjia, the Liang Jie Tang and the Coffin Gate will never rest until one is destroyed!"

"I can make this decision for the Lord!"

Shang Xingyan frowned for a moment. He knew that if he were sitting in the Liang Jie Tang, he might be even more extreme than Old Liu.

Shang Xingyan looked at Old Liu for a while before saying in a deep voice, "Brother Liu, whatever conditions you have, just say it. I, Shang, will definitely try my best to satisfy them."

"Good! Straightforward!" Old Liu gave a thumbs up and said, "We want this human emperor of the mortal realm in Liang Jie Tang. That shouldn't be difficult for the Xiu Yi Wei, right?"

Shang Xingyan nodded slightly, "We will deal with the Nine Sons of the Yi Tian Chess Master and guarantee that we will bring the luck back to the Liang Jie Tang."

Old Liu nodded, "We also want half of the Art of the World in Liang Jie Tang. It's not too much to consider this as compensation from the Coffin Gate, right?"

Shang Xingyan hesitated, "The Coffin Gate can't give you half of the Art of the World. However, the Ghost Coffin Gate and the Tian Ya Wei (End of the World Guard) can be given to you."

Old Liu smiled, "Then what about Wu Xing (Formless)? They've caused us trouble several times, so is that just going to be it?"

Shang Xingyan took a deep breath and said, "Wu Xing cannot be destroyed now, but they can listen to the Liang Jie Tang's dispatch."

Shang Xingyan's implication was that the high-level officials of Wu Xing could be replaced.

Old Liu stared at Shang Xingyan and said, "What about the Reincarnation Division?"

"We in Liang Jie Tang can't just keep waiting for her to come and cause trouble, right?"

Shang Xingyan said, "The Reincarnation Division cannot be touched now. However, the Reincarnation Division's forces in the north can all be incorporated into the Liang Jie Tang."

"If you don't have anyone to manage them, I can send the Xiu Yi Wei's secret agents in the Yang Realm to take over. These people are absolutely reliable."

"At the Young Master's command, they can go through fire and water at any time."

Old Liu laughed and said, "With these, I think the Lord's anger will be much less!"

Shang Xingyan helplessly pointed at Old Liu and said, "Brother Liu, you truly are an old fox of the Liang Jie Tang!"

"Brother Liu, I'm afraid you've been thinking about how to extort this from me since I appeared, right?"

Old Liu shook his fan and said, "Since ancient times, it's normal for sons to trick their fathers. Besides, isn't the Lord reaching the peak of the Art of the World also for the sake of bringing glory to our ancestors?"

Shang Xingyan shook his head, "You, ah, you, anyway, the Xiu Yi Wei won't be the ones shedding blood this time."

"However…"

Shang Xingyan paused and said, "I want to know, if I hadn't come, what other tricks would you have used to deal with the Jianghu (martial world)?"

Old Liu leaned close to Shang Xingyan's ear and whispered, "Use the Xian Yang River to create chaos in the world."

Shang Xingyan couldn't help but gasp, "I understand what you mean."

"I didn't expect that a poisonous strategist was hidden in the Liang Jie Tang!"

Old Liu didn't think much of it and said, "Every strategist is poisonous."

"I just want to find a glimmer of hope for the Lord in the great calamity of the Art of the World."

"The calamity of the Art of the World is like a flood, leaving no grass behind. Even if the Liang Jie Tang doesn't act as the long dam to block the flood, it must act as a lone boat to take away our tribe."

Shang Xingyan nodded, "Brother Liu, these are words of experience!"

"Actually, the Lord also doesn't want the Young Master to be involved in this great calamity."

"But now it seems that some things can't be escaped."

"The Young Master's fate is destined for him to be a wolf king commanding one side. The entanglement of fate is the most difficult thing to avoid."

Shang Xingyan stood up and said, "Brother Liu, prepare well by the Young Master's side!"

"When the calamity comes, less than one in a hundred Art Practitioners in the world will survive. Be sure to protect the Young Master!"

Old Liu smiled without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
