The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1174 - 1175: Reporting to the Prince

The envoy from the Sixth Prince arrived, appraising Han Xin in front of him, and was also being observed.
*** Both of them sat at the head of the table, one on each side.
Han Xin surveyed the envoy, sensing the other's aura, pondering silently.
The envoy hailed from one of the prominent clans in Daojiang Country, slightly inferior to the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan.
This clan's form is human-like, which is to say, in Daojiang Country, the dominant races all resemble the Human Clan, holding significant status.
The other's realm aura was quite formidable, evidently a powerhouse beyond the Transparent Realm, not to be underestimated.
The Yuanwu Clan, the name of this race, resembles the Human Clan, except their hair and beard are pure white, and their skin is flawless white. As they breathe in and out, clouds and mist emerge, swirling around them, hard to disperse.
This is the bloodline talent of this clan, Yuanwu. With mist encircling the body, it significantly enhances defense. Under the infusion of soul energy, Yuanwu can transform into weapons or defensive barriers, with limitless applications.
Yuanwu can be controlled to leave the body's vicinity, endowed with sensing, probing the surroundings.
The scope of Yuanwu can be expanded, disrupting the enemy's sight.
Yuanwu contains soul energy, obstructing the opponent's soul consciousness from detecting their true position.
The Yuanwu Clan is indeed extremely tough adversaries; however, their talent is severely restrained by the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan.
The Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's four eyes can see through their form.
Being the royal clan of Daojiang Country, a top-tier race, the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan is far from a weak minor clan, without any influence.
"If a fight breaks out, can this Yuanwu Clan called Yun Xinhua be killed in one strike?" Han Xin secretly communicated via soul consciousness to Wei Ziliang, inquiring aloud.
"Nonsense!" Although Wei Ziliang didn't answer directly, these two words already conveyed the answer.
Even hidden in the shadows without revealing his presence, he wore a helpless expression on his face—the question was simply too ridiculous.
The Yuanwu Clan member named Yun Xinhua before him might have some reputation in Daojiang Country, but in his eyes, was no different from a stray fish.
If he can't kill such a character in one strike, he might as well kill himself.
Having received Wei Ziliang's response, Han Xin gained insight, roughly able to deduce the overall strength of the Sixth Prince.
"Let's proceed to the main issue directly." At this moment, Yun Xinhua, the trusted officer dispatched by the Sixth Prince, straightforwardly said, "What do you require to release our Young Prince?"
"Judging by your welcoming posture, I assume you aren't eager for mutual destruction; there remains room for negotiation between us, right?"
After speaking, Yun Xinhua gazed directly at Han Xin in front of him.
"Speaking of which, this matter is truly a misunderstanding. Surely, you understand, if someone rampages in your territory, measures would be taken." Han Xin feigned a bitter smile, saying, "Had we known the Young Prince's identity, we certainly wouldn't dare act."
"Then, release him, otherwise, not a single person from your Human Clan will survive. You're well aware, facing the Prince's army, you're utterly powerless." Yun Xinhua too spoke directly, sipping spiritual tea as he leisurely continued.
To this, Han Xin chuckled dryly twice: "Frankly, you understand too, the reason we Human Clan can still live well, speak with you here, is because the Young Prince is in our grasp. If we release him outright, I'm afraid our lives would be forfeit?"
"Hmph, what do you mean? Are you planning to imprison our Young Prince forever?" At this, Yun Xinhua's tone grew sinister, the atmosphere in the hall turned somber in an instant, "I advise you to release our Young Prince quickly, if you have any sense."
"No, no, releasing the Young Prince isn't impossible, unless the Sixth Prince agrees to certain conditions for our Human Clan." Unfazed by the other's anger, Han Xin continued calmly, unaffected by the other's pressure.
Yun Xinhua couldn't help laughing, staring at Han Xin in front: "Human Clan, you dare present conditions to us?"
"Why not? If we don't present conditions, why keep the Young Prince?" At this point, Han Xin's previously amiable demeanor turned stern, brimming with killing intent, "Why not slaughter your Young Prince, let him die with us?"
Bam!
Instantly, Yun Xinhua's aura grew violent, pressure surged, bearing down upon Han Xin.
Yet the young Human Clan of the Ninth Level Earth Realm before him remained unmoved, merely retaining a cold facade, silently staring without speaking.
In those pupils, murder intent was prevalent.
Yun Xinhua knew this murder intent wasn't directed at him but at his Young Prince.
He felt that the Human Clan man in front, if negotiations failed, truly would kill their Young Prince.
If the negotiations he caused broke down and the Young Prince died, he feared he wouldn't survive either.
Yun Xinhua took a deep breath, subsequently stabilizing his aura, looking at Han Xin: "Speak, what are your conditions?"
"Imprisoning the Young Prince and presenting conditions is out of desperation. We know the Young Prince's identity; we understand if we truly kill them, our chance of survival is nonexistent. Hence, this negotiation is our opportunity to continue living."
"The first condition is simple, adequate Soul Crystals to sustain our forthcoming escape life. Ten billion Saint Soul Crystals, I don't think this request is excessive."
"The second condition, we need the materials on this list; the quantities of each material aren't vast, surely your Young Prince is worth the cost."
"The third condition, we require five million Cloud Boats, they need to be swift enough to carry plenty of people, essential for escape."
"The fourth condition, only after ten years of our escape can you act. I'll leave some people behind to guard the Young Prince, whom they will release after ten years. Then, we also understand, those left behind can't survive."
After hearing these conditions, Yun Xinhua coldly laughed twice: "Five million Cloud Boats can't carry all the Human Clan in the Star Domain; you know the Human Clan can reproduce, surely you're aware."
"Of course we understand. Our aim is simple, not asking much, as long as we can survive." Han Xin gazed at the other, lightly smiling, "How about it, are you willing to accept these conditions?"
Yun Xinhua snorted coldly, stood up, and took the soul book handed by the other: "This, must be ed to the Prince, you wait."
