Chapter 1417: Chapter 685: Trading with the Demigod!

Qi Yue truly felt from the bottom of her heart that the relationship between humans and Guardian Beasts was irreconcilable. Human Beast Masters would contract with Guardian Beasts, and those Contract Beasts would be treated as partners by their human Beast Masters.

However, human Beast Masters were only responsible for the Contract Beasts they had tamed.

At the same time, they would hunt and kill other Guardian Beasts in large numbers, using the resources produced by other Guardian Beasts to cultivate their own Contract Beasts.

In the eyes of the free Guardian Beasts, being contracted by human Beast Masters was in itself a kind of bondage, for not every Beast Master had abundant resources at their disposal to enhance the strength of their Contract Beasts.

Humans regarded the Spiritual Materials produced by Guardian Beasts as wealth and resources. Those Guardian Beasts that did not gather in tribal units could easily have their offspring stolen by human adventurers once they were born in the wild.

Qi Yue did not only consider things from the perspective of the Guardian Beasts. Being capable of taking human form in order to understand humans better, she had lived for over two hundred years in the Human World in the guise of a Beast Master.

Some types of Guardian Beasts took attacking human cities as a form of hunting, launching assaults on human cities near forests or wastelands.

This resulted in deeply rooted subconscious hatred between humans and the Beast Controlling Force.

As a Peak Order Practitioner in the Beast Controlling Force, she was part of its upper echelon. If Qixing had the ability to help her extend her lifespan, her chances of stepping into Gods’ Domain would undoubtedly greatly increase.

How could humans possibly wish for the Beast Controlling Force to gain such a powerful being!?

Indeed, human Creators would sometimes choose to cooperate with the Beast Controlling Force, but in such partnerships, the Beast Controlling Force did not gain much long-term benefit.

Instead, it is the human Creators who gained significantly from their cooperation with the Beast Controlling Force.

Because Qi Yue understood the relationship between Guardian Beasts and humans, she reacted with such surprise.

Fang Mu reaffirmed to Qi Yue with certainty.

“You should know our respective goals in coming to see me this time.”

“Our Infinite Tower has now deepened our cooperation with the Bamboo Cyan Deer lineage, and resources have already been invested into them.”

“Such cooperation, once started, will bring our two sides very close together, and ensuring more life for you also means securing the stability of the Qi Tian Cang Lu clan.”

“However, your current situation is quite special, Miss Qi Yue. From what I see, your lifespan should have already been exhausted.”

“How have you managed to cling to life, causing such an abundance of Dead Qi to accumulate in your soul?”

Not only did Fang Mu reaffirm his position to Qi Yue, but he also directly pointed out her current situation.

By doing so, Fang Mu wanted to tell Qi Yue to be more forthright and not to come into the conversation with too many prejudices against humans.

By revealing that he had a way to extend life, Fang Mu was showing his hand.

Fang Mu could call forth Lian Dai, a true God Territory Powerhouse, at any time through his Dao Protector’s contract.

Not only had Lian Dai enhanced her Bloodline through Spiritual Elixirs, but she also purified her body of impurities using Nuwa Blood, greatly increasing her power.

It seems that with Lian Dai’s current strength, she could control or even kill Qi Yue.

Should Qi Yue choose not to cooperate with Fang Mu, he would do so without hesitation.

With the death of Qi Yue, the High Priest of the Qi Tian Cang Lu clan, the clan would be headless.

The Bamboo Cyan Deer lineage, the most combat-skilled among the four lineages of the Cang Lu clan, could quickly take control of the clan’s situation with the infusion of Fang Mu’s resources.

By then, Fang Mu would still achieve his goal of controlling the Cang Lu clan, though the process might be more complicated.

Fang Mu truly hoped to cooperate with Qi Yue. This way, he would effectively gain a voice with considerable influence within the Beast Controlling Force.

Qi Yue’s voice carried much more weight than that of Zhuo An.

Hearing Fang Mu’s words, a gleam of light flickered in Qi Yue’s eyes, clearly perceiving the implications in his words.

Fang Mu’s statements profoundly shocked Qi Yue, who had never taken this younger generation seriously.

In Qi Yue’s eyes, Fang Mu represented Qixing.

When Qi Yue first began communicating with Fang Mu, she always wanted to dominate the conversation for two reasons: first, to guide Fang Mu’s words and thereby gain a lot of information from him.

The one who captures the voice in the conversation could guide the speech of the other.

Secondly, Qi Yue thought that she had been snubbed, expecting to personally meet with Qixing itself, feeling slighted.

Now, through communication with Fang Mu, Qi Yue was somewhat surprised by Qixing’s vision.

If Qixing could truly help her restore her lifespan, it would equate to securing the prosperity of the Qi Tian Cang Lu clan, which would be an even greater benefit than strengthening the clan itself!

Ever since Qi Yue became the High Priest of the Qi Tian Cang Lu clan, she had begun to nurture younger members capable of inheriting her mantle.

Fearing that taking on too many disciples would lead to vicious internal competition, Qi Yue chose only one to cultivate.

However, the disciple she had carefully nurtured died while exploring the Ancient Battlefield a hundred and fifty years ago.
