Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1644: Chapter 1504: The Fire Lady’s Targeting

“Madame Liu, the acquaintance of mine is cultivating now, and it is not very convenient to disturb him. Let’s come back next time,” said Yu Bo as he stepped out of the room and spoke to Liu Binglan, who was waiting by the spring.

“Sure, let’s go back then,” Liu Binglan nodded.

On their way back, they passed by Main Peak Villa, where Liu Binglan noticed there were already quite a few people, most of whom she did not recognize.

Liu Binglan preferred not to engage too much with these people and made her way toward the chain of mountain Villas on her own.

“Isn’t this Madame Liu Binglan of New Moon Land?” A Domain Master seemed to recognize her and said with a smile.

This Domain Master spoke somewhat loudly, and everyone in the corridor could hear it, drawing many pairs of eyes towards their direction.

Amidst the crowd, a mature woman with fiery red hair and clad in a red robe stepped forward, making a point to walk up to Liu Binglan. She revealed a relatively friendly smile and said, “I have long heard that Madame Liu Binglan of New Moon Land is an Ice Beauty, and I am always called the Fire Lady. I am the Sect Leader of the Fire Faction of the Elemental Sect. I’m very pleased to meet you here.”

Liu Binglan sized up this woman, whose entire being seemed to emit a fiery aura, while maintaining her composure and politeness.

“The previous matters were discussed between my subordinates and your people. There may have been some offensives. I hope Madame Liu won’t take offense. Now that we’ve met here, why don’t we sit down and talk about the affairs concerning your Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm? How does that sound?” the Fire Lady suggested, motioning with a gesture of invitation.

As the leader of the Elemental Sect had personally invited her, Liu Binglan found it hard to refuse and followed her to a pavilion.

…

“Members of the Fire Faction of the Elemental Sect wish to cultivate within our Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm. We of New Moon Land won’t refuse that, but you wanting to gain control over the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm is quite unlikely,” Liu Binglan spoke directly.

Earlier, the Fire Faction of the Elemental Sect had sent people to negotiate with Liu Binglan about the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm. They wanted to take nightmare demons as their Soul Pets and directly replace the Nightmare Demon Palace.

The importance of the Nightmare Demon Palace might be trivial compared to the Fire Faction of the Elemental Sect, but for New Moon Land, it’s crucial. The Elemental Sect’s dominant attempt to outright purchase the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm was not something Liu Binglan could agree to.

“Madame Liu, a transaction is always negotiated. There is no need to be so absolute in your words so soon. Perhaps the terms we propose will satisfy you,” said the Fire Lady with a smile.

Many people might consider all Holy Lands to be parallel, but in fact, the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm is now truly the core of New Moon Land.

Firstly, the Nightmare Demon Clan in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm is managed by the Nightmare Demon Ruler, a subordinate of Chu Mu. With the continuous expansion of the Holy Land, the Nightmare Demon Ruler’s underlings can practically form a World Dynasty now!

Even if Liu Binglan agreed to let people from the Elemental Sect fully manage the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, the Nightmare Demon Clan inside would not consent.

Secondly, aside from the Nightmare Demon Clan, there is a residing Race in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm — the Demon Spirit Clan.

With Princess Jinrou as their queen, the Demon Spirit Clan may reproduce slowly, but now they are becoming more prosperous. Every so often, some outstanding members of the Demon Spirit Clan will Sign Soul Pacts with the young experts of New Moon Land, helping to break the limitations of Species Rankings.

New Moon Land has seen an emergence of exceptional talents in recent years, and the contributions of the Demon Spirit Clan cannot be understated. Would handing over the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm to the Elemental Sect not mean giving away the Demon Spirit Clan as well? How can the value of the Demon Spirit Clan be measured with mere Spirit Items, Territory, or Soul Pets?

“Let’s set aside the matter of the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm for now. The Sect Leader of our Wind Sect is likely interested in your Wind-binding Sanctuary, and I assume Divine Sect members have also discussed the control of the Control Shu Sanctuary with you?” said the Fire Lady.

“The Holy Lands are the foundation of Our New Moon Land. We will not give or trade away the control,” Liu Binglan maintained her firm stance.

“What if New Moon Land ceased to exist?” The Fire Lady toyed with her fingernails and spoke indifferently.

Liu Binglan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. It appeared the Fire Lady was threatening her.

“It seems we don’t have much common ground. I’ll take my leave first,” Liu Binglan stood up, no longer engaging with the Fire Lady.

“New Moon Land has not long been a part of Struggle Land, and there are many rules you do not understand. Some things, if offered proactively, might avoid a lot of trouble. You seem not to comprehend the concept of ‘possession invites trouble.’ Living in a small place like New Moon Land for too long can narrow one’s vision. But when someone kindly reminds you, you should know what to do instead of continuing to put on airs. In New Moon Land, you are lifted high by all, but on Struggle Land, you are nothing,” the Fire Lady, watching Liu Binglan’s lofty departure, spoke with a colder tone.

Hearing these words, Yu Bo, following beside Liu Binglan, frowned deeply and turned to glare at the presumptuous Fire Lady, speaking coldly, “And what are you? Has the Elemental Sect fallen so low as to let a petty Fire Series Sect Leader speak for it?”

“With a master who disrespects others, it’s no wonder her servant is so insolent and presumptuous. Since when is it your turn to speak, old fool?” retorted the Fire Lady unrelentingly.

Yu Bo’s anger flared even more at the Fire Lady’s words!

The Old Man had trampled their Elemental Sect’s experts before this Fire Lady was even born. People these days are getting more and more arrogant and lack any respect for their elders!

“Yu Bo, let it be,” Liu Binglan shook her head, indicating that Yu Bo should not engage in pointless arguments with the Fire Lady.

Yu Bo wanted to rage, but seeing the serene look in Liu Binglan’s eyes, his anger quickly subsided.

…

Leaving the courtyard, she had just reached the corridor when several people immediately approached Liu Binglan head-on.

“I am Wang Kuan, Beast Sect Master of the Demon Beast Palace.” A man with a scarred face spoke.

“I am Ruan Lei, Domain Master of Du Jiang. Lady Liu, we should have met a few times before.” The man in the large yellow robe said.

Another woman did not introduce herself, instead she measured Liu Binglan with her proud eyes, the corners of her mouth always fluctuating slightly.

Liu Binglan did not know what these Domain Masters and Sect Leaders sought her for, only watching them indifferently.

“The forces we have divided under the Northern Territory have already taken shape in the North End. Aren’t the taxes for the Northern Territory a bit too high? Or perhaps Lady Liu is willing to transfer the ownership of the Northern Territory to us. Name your conditions, Lady Liu,” the man named Wang Kuan said.

“Can we discuss this later?” Liu Binglan said.

“That wouldn’t be appropriate, would it? Since we can meet here, solving these matters sooner will be good for both of us,” Wang Kuan said.

“If you want to talk, send someone to New Moon Land. To stand here and block a Female Superior’s way, are you trying to force someone’s hand?” Yu Bo saw that these three were also here to cause trouble and spoke out without any politeness.

“Old Sir, when did we ever force someone’s hand? We’re just discussing important matters with Lady Liu. If Lady Liu finds it beneath her to talk with us, naturally we’ll step aside,” the unnamed woman retorted sharply.

Liu Binglan frowned once more; these people really were targeting her and the New Moon Land, clearly wanting to take for themselves all the huge profits and resources possessed by New Moon Land!

She would not let them have their way, but currently, these three people were obviously provoking, deliberately pushing New Moon Land towards further isolation.

New Moon Land is a new Independent Territory, risen not too many years ago, and those who could attend this meeting were mostly people of Sect Leader Level and thereabouts. If New Moon Land acted arrogantly in such a place, it was tantamount to suicide.

Just as Liu Binglan was caught between a rock and a hard place, a man in snow-white clothes approached from a side corridor.

“Gentlemen, I have a private matter to discuss with Lady Liu, if you’ll excuse me,” the man in white said coolly, glancing over the three people.

Previously, Wang Kuan and the woman had appeared quite arrogant and sharp, but upon seeing this man, they hastily swallowed back their words.

The three of them dared not obstruct any further and quickly cleared the way!

The man in white gestured for Liu Binglan to proceed and led her out of the hall.

Wang Kuan, Ruan Lei, and the unnamed woman all watched the man in white’s retreating back with astonishment, lingering in surprise for quite some time.

“Xiao… Judge Xiao, why is he here?” Wang Kuan said.

The Divine Sect’s snowy garments represented none other than the Chief Judge Xiao Xue’ang!

And how many on the Struggle Continent would dare to block Xiao Xue’ang’s path?

Wang Kuan and Ruan Lei did not understand how Lady Liu of minor New Moon Land could know Xiao Xue’ang, and even more so, discuss private matters?

…

Upon arrival at chain of mountain Villas, Liu Binglan glanced at the Divine Sect Judge beside her and revealed a courteous smile, “What matters did Judge Xiao refer to that need to be discussed… or is it that you were helping me out of a predicament?”

Xiao Xue’ang opened his mouth to say, “I was passing by, saw you, and took the opportunity to help out. Additionally, there are indeed some within the Divine Sect who want to target you and New Moon Land, they are not under my control. I mention this so you don’t mistakenly think it was my doing.”

“Mm.” Liu Binglan nodded.

Liu Binglan and this Judge Xiao had met a few times, a coincidental encounter once at the Struggle Capital Territory Office.

She had always thought he was a member of the Territory Office since she had seen him there several times and had a brief conversation.

Only after Ye Qingzi was by her side during another occasion did Liu Binglan learn that the man she had spoken to a few times was actually the renowned Chief Judge of the Divine Sect, Xiao Xue’ang.

“I still have some matters to attend to, so… I will take my leave first.” After sending Liu Binglan to the door of the chain of mountain Villas, Xiao Xue’ang left.

Yu Bo, who had been standing aside the whole time without speaking, only started to chuckle after Xiao Xue’ang had left, saying, “This Judge Xiao, always using words like passing by, incidentally, and what a coincidence…” (.)
