Chapter 524: Secret Discussion
Chapter 524: Secret Discussion
Li Qian's proposal tempted Zhao Zihuan, but his identity and background were not to be taken lightly. He was no inexperienced rookie.
So, he quickly calmed the ripples in his heart and turned to Li Qian, immediately considering the issue at hand. "Li Qian, I must admit, your proposal is indeed tempting, but isn't the Rong Ancestor the Mu Clan's guardian beast?"
Li Qian responded with a faint smile, "That's not my concern. It's up to you to negotiate with the Mu Clan."
With that, he waved his hand and left the room.
Outside the room, Irina and Mu Qianqian were waiting.
Seeing them, Li Qian smiled, "Let's go. I've finished my business here, and I'm heading back."
Irina nodded and silently followed him.
Li Qian's return to Cloudwave City wasn't solely for the dimensional rift crisis; he also wanted to visit home.
Although the Pride Sun Nurture Base in Lingshui City would likely remain unaffected, it was necessary to visit his parents while in Cloudwave City.
As for Cloudwave City, Li Qian estimated that Zhao Zihuan's negotiations would take at least a day or two.
Moreover, even if they reached an agreement, the preparation work would require some time.
Thus, Li Qian wasn't in a hurry.
Setting off again towards Lingshui City, Li Qian didn't take the high-speed rail but flew directly on the Flame Dragon Falcon, whose power had already reached the Overlord rank.
The speed was much faster than the train.
As Li Qian traveled to Lingshui City, in a secret room within the Cloud Palace Tower, Zhao Zihuan faced Mu Tianhua, unsure how to broach the subject.
After all, they were asking for the Mu Clan's guardian beast.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Zihuan awkwardly smiled and decided to speak frankly, "Well, Li Qian just made a proposal. The situation is like this..."
Zhao Zihuan then spent a few minutes succinctly explaining the entire matter.
After listening to Zhao Zihuan's statement, Mu Tianhua fell silent, his mind filled with ripples of emotion.
Contracting with the Rong Ancestor and using Beast Mastery Talent to help it break through was undoubtedly a good thing.
Increasing the success rate by twenty percent was astonishing.
However, after the contract, the Rong Ancestor would become Zhao Zihuan's companion beast, which made him very conflicted.
Silently pondering, he weighed the pros and cons.
It didn't take long for Mu Tianhua to make a decision.
He could agree!
When the nest is destroyed, no eggs survive. Without the skin, how can hair attach?
Mu Tianhua, having lived for so many years, was a wise old man. He understood certain principles better than anyone.
Cloudwave City was the foundation of their Mu Clan.
If Cloudwave City was forced to relocate, the Mu Clan would undoubtedly suffer a significant setback for a period.
Moreover, there was another crucial point.
A Holy Spirit Rank family guardian companion beast and the favor of a Legendary Rank Beastmaster—which would be more beneficial for the clan's development? Mu Tianhua was inclined towards the latter.
After all, upon reaching the Legendary Rank, both the Beastmaster and their companion beast would undergo a metamorphosis, resulting in a dramatic change in power and longevity.
One could imagine that if Zhao Zihuan broke free of his shackles and entered the Legendary Rank, relying on the Mu Clan's guardian beast, what the future might hold.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Mu Clan of Cloudwave City would become the second most powerful force after the Cloudwave Beastmaster University and the official authorities.
At the heart of the matter, Li Qian's ability to assist Ancestor Cypress could also mean he has the potential to aid Second Ancestor in breaking through.
His current strength and realm are far from the bottleneck phase, and there's a long way to go before he can reach that stage. This time, with Ancestor Cypress's breakthrough, he certainly won't have the opportunity to hitch a ride.
But Second Ancestor is different.
Once Second Ancestor reaches the Holy Spirit Peak, he's confident he can enter that realm.
If there's a mature advancement path, by then, no matter what, he'll give it a try.
However, attempting it isn't that simple.
The Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array, various rare evolutionary resources—even with the Mu Clan's support, it's uncertain if they can gather everything. But with the help of a Legendary Rank Beastmaster, the situation changes.
Based on these considerations, Mu Tianhua didn't deliberate for long before reaching a decision.
A smile appeared on his face, "Chancellor Zhao, with such a great opportunity, our Cloudwave Mu Clan will do our utmost to support it."
Without pausing, he continued, "Chancellor Zhao, you've worked diligently for so many years for our Cloudwave City..."
Mu Tianhua went on, flattering Zhao Zihuan.
Zhao Zihuan, an old fox, understood Mu Tianhua's intentions.
He immediately assured, "Rest assured, Clan Leader Mu. If I'm fortunate enough to enter the Legendary Tier, I'll forever remember this favor from the Mu Clan."
This is a debt of gratitude for achieving the Dao, and Zhao Zihuan knew that without a promise, the Mu Clan wouldn't agree.
Don't be fooled by Mu Tianhua's flattering words; it's all for show.
Most importantly, he's aware of the close relationship between Mu Tianhua and Li Qian.
If he can truly break through the shackles and advance to the Legendary Tier with Li Qian's help during this crisis, Li Qian's status and identity will also undergo a transformation.
He understands the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Li Qian.
The future advancement of Cloudwave Beastmaster University may depend on this matter.
He couldn't afford to take it lightly.
The two continued their discussion for a while longer, and once they had a plan for almost everything, they prepared to leave and consult with the others.
As they were about to depart, Mu Tianhua suddenly spoke up, "By the way, regarding this matter, I personally suggest that besides the two of us and Li Qian, it's best not to let a fourth person know."
Zhao Zihuan considered Mu Tianhua's suggestion, thought for a moment, and then nodded seriously. He expressed his gratitude, "As expected of Clan Leader Mu, this matter is indeed best kept confidential."
This matter can be handled alongside the Sealing Array, and even without revealing it, there won't be any issues.
On the contrary, if exposed, it might invite unnecessary trouble.
With the infiltration of the cult organization into various fields, they can't guarantee that there aren't informants among the high-ranking individuals in the outer hall.
If they find out that the Sealing Array can also create a Legendary Rank Beastmaster, who knows what desperate actions they might take.
The best strategy is to remain silent and keep this secret.
After reaching a decision, the two didn't waste any more time. They left the secret room and headed straight to the hall to start persuading those high-ranking individuals.
Even with Li Qian's assurance that the Sealing Array has a seventy percent success rate, convincing these people won't be easy.
