Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173 Negotiations Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173 Negotiations The Gryphon King’s eyes emitted an overwhelming aura. Although his rank was not as high as that of the Black Dragon Queen, his position was more than ten levels higher, so his overall strength was not affected by the Dragon Queen or Dragon King’s intimidation.

“Young man, I must say, you are very bold to threaten me in my own land,” said the Gryphon King, as his eyes also fixed on Li Yao.

Li Yao activated the Titan’s Eye, his eyes flashing with blue light, unaffected by the Gryphon King’s imposing pressure. “Now you see, the reason you haven’t encountered this before is that you haven’t lived long enough.”

The Black Dragon Queen sneered, “How? By trying to show off your seniority with age, or claiming it represents your depth?”

The Gryphon King forced a smile, “Do I really look so foolish as to compete in lifespan with someone possessing the Dragon King’s bloodline?”

Li Yao let out a sigh of relief, “Then speak your choice.”

“Why must you be so aggressive, young man? Recklessness achieves nothing. Can we not have a proper discussion and reach a win-win situation?” said the Gryphon King, calling out, and most of the gryphons reluctantly dispersed.

“Fine, if you want to talk about a win-win solution, let’s discuss it,” Li Yao said, jumping to the top of the cliff while the Black Dragon Queen transformed into human shape stood behind him.

Seeing the Black Dragon Queen, envy flashed in the Gryphon King’s eyes. Although he possessed the bloodline of a demigod, he couldn’t transform into human form, not unless he became a true world-level chief.

Facing a gentle breeze, Li Yao took a deep breath and said, “First, I declare, our developing farms will not take over the entire plain, nor will we hunt down the various creatures living on it, leaving enough hunting grounds for your gryphons. You must not destroy the farms or threaten ordinary people.”

“Secondly, I know that your tribe seems to have been affected by some energy and mutated, hence the expulsion, losing the conditions to cooperate with the Iron Alliance. However, I do not belong to either the Iron Alliance or the council. I come from one of the three strongest camps in the Elemental Plane, the Dark Camp, and I am an heir to the Dark Queen, one of the rulers of the Dark Camp. Although I cannot represent the Dark Queen, I still wield some influence. Hence, we can cooperate. We do not mind the mutation that has occurred within your gryphons; that’s unimportant. What matters is that your Gryphon Legion joins my legion, maintaining its combat effectiveness while I pay the corresponding price and compensation, ensuring your support thrives even more.”

“That’s what a win-win looks like.”

The Gryphon King remained silent, and the Black Dragon Queen spoke, “May we see the manifestation of this infection? I need to assess it.”

“That works.”

The Gryphon King’s body emitted a purple light, and as soon as it appeared, Li Yao felt as if his skin was being burned. A hot breath entered his body, and his health began to slowly decline.

Purple Fire Burn, Li Yao saw a negative buff.

“How could such power appear in this minor plane? It shouldn’t be possible,” frowned the Black Dragon Queen.

Li Yao also said, “In the Ancient God World, perhaps only that one possesses the Purple Fire.”

“Can you two stop speaking in riddles? Is this corrosive flame coming from the Elemental Plane?” the Gryphon King asked urgently.

The Black Dragon Queen nodded, “This flame is unique, known as Magic Fire, exclusively belonging to the Witch of Fire.”

“The Witch of Fire?” The Gryphon King was puzzled, “What is the status of this goddess now?”

“She has fallen,” the Black Dragon Queen said, then explained, “In the Ancient God World, there were originally four Elemental Lords. They were actually born as elemental deities. However, because they joined the Ancient Gods, the Titans sealed them into the Elemental Plane. Since the Fire Elemental Lord was only a demigod and did not achieve godhood, the position of Fire God remained vacant. Consequently, two fire spirits emerged, known as the twin sisters of fire.”

“They were considered geniuses; within just ten thousand years, they defied the heavens and achieved Divine Enthronement. However, one did not want to compete with her sister for the official position of Fire God. Therefore, she settled for less, achieving godhood with the help of demonic power from hell, essentially obtaining a Demonic God position. Yet, this made her unaccepted by the other gods. Despite representing fire, she had an exceptionally good nature, completely suppressing the brutality within her. Since she and Alexstrasza were friends, she lived in the Dragon Sleep Temple for a long time.”

“Unfortunately, during the Twilight of the Gods, due to the grand battle among the Ancient Gods, Demonic Gods, and Gods of Order, the true Goddess of Fire was killed by the dark and conspiring gods using despicable means; even her soul was confined. It was then that the Demonic Goddess of Fire emerged, fighting her way to the 90th floor of the Abyss, unbeatable all along, and ultimately killed the Shadow God on that level, although she too was severely wounded.”

“The Shadow God, who was the think tank and key supporter of the Death God, his death greatly infuriated the Death God. Hence, there was a fierce battle between him and the Witch of Fire. The Death God managed to seal the Demonic Goddess of Fire, despite suffering serious injuries, but was then trapped by several demonic gods from hell and the Abyss. Eventually, the Death God, burning his own divine essence, killed several betraying demonic gods. The whereabouts of the Demonic Goddess of Fire are unknown since then, but it’s presumed she has fallen, as her divine position remains vacant.”

“Disappeared, why would this flame appear on us?” The Gryphon King was baffled.

The Black Dragon Queen shook her head, indicating her uncertainty.

Li Yao then said, “The Witch of Fire must still be alive; she may be hiding in these mountains. You probably have been affected by her aura. It seems that your mutations are not entirely bad; your powers haven’t weakened but strengthened, right?”

“That’s true, my strength has definitely surpassed the past. However, the issue is I’ve been stuck at the edge of being a World-level Chief for thousands of years now. My blood brothers are now Griffin Emperors in this realm, high-ranking World-level Chiefs,” the Gryphon King said with a bitter smile.

“There’s nothing we can do about that, so tell us what you’re thinking,” Li Yao asked.

The Gryphon King sighed, “Do we have another choice? We’re now part of the main plane. If we remain isolated, we’d likely be treated as monsters to be hunted sooner or later. It hasn’t happened yet because their strength isn’t sufficient. If it weren’t for the big shot of the Black Dragon Clan backing you, I would’ve killed you long ago for being so arrogant.”

“If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been so audacious,” Li Yao laughed heartily, “Then, let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”

“Let’s indeed have a pleasant cooperation. Let me outline the first step of our cooperation,” the Gryphon King readily agreed.

“Go ahead, please do,” Li Yao said.

“For our first step of cooperation, I can only support you with a hundred thousand troops from the Silver Elite Griffin Legion…”

Before the Gryphon King could finish, Li Yao interrupted him, “Not enough, unless you give me an additional fifty thousand leader-level Gryphons.”

“You’re insane, do you think leader-level Gryphons are as common as cabbages? At most ten thousand.”…
