Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”We’re here.”

The pleasant conversation did not last long. When the Skeleton led Tang Haofei to the most central building of the City Lord Mansion, Tang Haofei’s intelligence-gathering behavior came to a natural end.

The heavily decorated solid wooden doors before him slowly creaked open, and Tang Haofei saw a tall figure in a black robe adorned with four gold lines.

His face was smooth and beardless, resembling a scholar from ancient times. Apart from a slightly pale complexion, he looked no different from a regular human; well, he was slightly taller than the average member of the Earth Human Race.

However, standing before the already tall Tang Haofei, such a difference was completely negligible.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the wooden doors, the tall figure seated behind them slowly lifted his head, and a subtle smile touched his handsome lips.

Clear Mandarin flowed from his mouth.

”You must be the representative of the Cathay military. Pleased to meet you. You can call me Mo Xuan.”

Standing at the door, Old Tang slowly squinted.

It was simply because of the constant, faint pressure emanating from this man called Mo Xuan—it wasn’t intense, but it was terrifying enough!

On Earth, no living being could make Old Tang feel this way—not even Wen Yu!

So, a simple deduction of strength easily formed in Tang Haofei’s mind.

Mo Xuan’s strength is greater than Wen Yu’s. Judged by the strength of Daoless Child, whom I just fought, Mo Xuan’s strength must be more than five times greater! The strongest in the Universe of Immortals and Heroes...

This title abruptly emerged in Tang Haofei’s mind. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be ’worthy of one’s reputation.’

Unfortunately... The Challenger’s Trial didn’t issue any warning at all! This meant that Mo Xuan, standing before me, wasn’t worth my effort—the gap in our power is significant...

Tang Haofei’s lips slowly curled, revealing a wide, white-toothed grin.

”City Lord Mo Xuan, I am Tang Haofei, Sequence Number 1 of the Earth Human Race.”

Seated in a wooden chair five meters from Mo Xuan, Tang Haofei sipped the drink served by an attendant.

The sweet taste filled his palate.

”Tastes good.”

Tang Haofei offered his praise. It was always beneficial to exchange pleasantries during such interactions.

Mo Xuan, at his side, sighed softly. ”Such a pity. After my resurrection, all the cloud tea in the city had dried up and decomposed. Otherwise, it would have been proper to serve cloud tea to Sequence Number 1 of the Earth Sequence.”

After sighing, Mo Xuan’s expression shifted, his demeanor becoming resolute and decisive.

”I heard from my people that you came to see me to form an alliance, is that correct?”

Seeing Tang Haofei nod, Mo Xuan reached out, took a paper-like document from the table, and handed it directly to Tang Haofei.

”The matter of the alliance is of great importance. My superiors have entrusted me with full responsibility. This is what I’ve managed to come up with in such a short time. Take a look first.”

Upon seeing the 208 cooperation agreements clearly listed on the paper, Tang Haofei felt a wave of exasperation.

You managed to come up with all this in such a short time? Why don’t you just ascend to heaven then?

Forming an alliance is a simple matter—provided both parties are willing. Unless one side completely lost its sanity, nothing could obstruct it.

The real trouble lay in distributing the benefits after the alliance.

In simple terms, the Human Race needed technology from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes—in all aspects. The Universe of Immortals and Heroes, in turn, needed more and stronger warriors, as well as points, Mo crystals, and even the right to use the Exchange Stone Pillar, as its natives could no longer use it.

While the demands of both sides didn’t seem to conflict, the issue of who would contribute more and who less was enough to keep Tang Haofei and Mo Xuan bickering for a long time.

Just as Tang Haofei and Mo Xuan were engaging in a deeper discussion on technology transfer and the trade of Level 10 construction materials from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, Wen Yu was leisurely strolling down the streets of Ling Yun City.

Randomly opening a space ring, Wen Yu surveyed the myriad ’toys’ inside, a satisfied smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Your toys, my treasures...

After a brief stroll to survey the items from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, Wen Yu immediately began a shopping spree.
