Su Li left, but life continued, and that grand event of the human world was methodically pushed forward

To speak truthfully, it was precisely because Su Li left that this grand event had a chance of success, that it could continue

On the seventeenth day after Xu Yourong and the group from Holy Maiden Peak arrived in the capital, the Qiushan clan head, representing the various noble clans of the south, also entered the borders of the Great Zhou The Longevity Sect had closed up its sect for three years, but those sects and monasteries nominally attached to it had sent out able representatives

As time passed, more and an to take their seats in the negotiating rooer a naination It was getting closer and closer to reality

To the southerners, the greatest proble them was that after the departure of Su Li and the Holy Maiden, they possessed no expert of the Divine Dootiation table or at so table for instance, they couldn't help but feel lacking in confidence

Unexpectedly, neither the Ie of this difference in strength to suggest any sort of unreasonable deenerosity and open-uarantees and oaths for the benefit of the south's future

Only the truly wise could see the crossing of swords concealed behind, or taking place before, this negotiation

This was the crossing of swords between Su Li and the Tianhai Divine Ee, he renounced his right to take revenge on those that had pursued hiether with the Holy Maiden, the south straight away lost all of its confidence, thus preventing negotiations fro themselves in the mud as had happened countless times before

Then the Divine Eive the south abnorotiation, these returns, this generous treatment, was this: after the confluence of the north and south, the south would preserve as much of its independence as possible

This independence already surpassed the wildest dreams of the powers from the south

They didn't need to alter the prefectures, to redraw the provinces or counties They were free to select their own local officials without requiring the approval of the Ministry of Appointments in the capital, and only needed to have them examined in the capital once within three years Taxation was also extremely favorable, and in terms of payments from the state treasury, it was even more inclined towards the relatively poor prefectures of the south

Besides this, the south obtained ards to the Grand Examination and the Ier needed to take a portion of the capital's allotment, but were treated like the rest of the provinces and counties, calculating a quota from the number of people on the official census With the performance of the south in the recent years, they would obtain a e in the Grand Examination

Of course, the southerners could not obtain benefits without paying anything Long before the negotiations were concluded, several items were already confirn affairs would both be ade involved the ten thousand li of unbroken border in the north with the snowy plains In the past, the sects and noble clans of the south would also send experts to garrison the northern forts and resist the great aruests, listening to suggestions, but not orders Noever, these experts would all be directly inserted into the aristics and other such aspects, it could be assue leap in strength Moreover, this had always been the oal of the confluence of north and south

As the negotiations over the confluence of the north and south slowly headed towards success, the experts and soldiers of the huthened their watch over the north The supply wagons fro stream of rations and fodder to the eleven critical border passes They were prepared at any ti south, because it was very obvious that the demons could not helplessly stand by as the human world succeeded in the confluence of the north and the south They would definitely do so, especially that absolutely treacherous Military Advisor, Black Robe Perhaps he had already put his crafty schemes into motion

The situation up north was rather tense, and the two sides of the negotiation table were also rather tense, but these were two different types of tension In these negotiations, Xu Yourong played an extremely iical perspective, she was the most important representative because she was both a person of Zhou and the Holy Maiden of the south at the same ti upon the various representatives fro with the Great Zhou Imperial Court Fortunately, she lived in the Imperial Palace and so it was very easy for her tohad already not seen her for ten-odd days and was so extremely important, so he would naturally not complain As a person who valued ti and waiting He borrowed the chill of the deep winter to hone his mind, comprehend the five stone pearls, and silently recite the Halving Blade Style Occasionally, he would give a lesson to the new students of the Orthodox Acade Of course, he did not forget a few other is

On a certain nore amount of food and little knick-knacks from the market Under the Yellow Paper Umbrella, he avoided the countless eyes around the Orthodox Acadeazes of the Imperial Guards, reached that tree outside the palace walls Then, availing hi snow that confused the eyes, he leaped into that well of New North Bridge

The round about half the size of a house, and countless hot and piping foodstuffs were tidily arranged upon it, releasing steam and all sorts of different arooose, roast duck, and even a dozen or so sticky rice dus, but this time, there was no steamed bear paw…because of Xuanyuan Po, there was no one in the Orthodox Acade used two fingers to take out a clean handkerchief fro his hands clean of oil, he raised his head up to the Black Dragon and said, ”Tang Tang made Clear Lake Restaurant the cafeteria of the Orthodox Acadeht a few ht taste even better”

At the very center of all the food was a s was s a joy that caet so on to eat, he truly felt very satisfied

The Black Dragon's mountainous body slowly descended A cold and icy aura hard to describe ords instantly pressed down on the stea hurriedly pulled out his sword and slashed down, and a sword intent faintly suffused with a fiery light rose up The food was instantly warmed back up and was not frozen into chunks of ice

He had used the Burning Heaven Sword
