Chapter 1468 -1468: No Need for That, Then!_1

“What on earth is Marquis Rodriguez trying to pull?” Gregory Hum couldn’t help but be annoyed, standing nearby.

“Who knows? Could it be that the North Plain has already made contact with Marquis Rodriguez?” Salena Carpenter guessed.

At this moment, Ethan Smith, who already had a poor impression of Marquis Rodriguez, felt even more disgusted.

Facing the whisperings of the crowd, Mr. Eternal laughed and said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. This time, Egbert Briggs came here to negotiate peace. The Southern Province and the North Plain have been fighting for years, and if this continues, ordinary people will always be the ones suffering. If we can seize the opportunity to negotiate peace, wouldn’t that be better for everyone?”

Once these words came out, Salena couldn’t help but cursed: “I hate his hypocrisy so much. Just looking at him makes me sick.”

Ethan also felt that Mr. Eternal was extremely hypocritical and disgusting.

That said, after Mr. Eternal’s explanation, the scene became noticeably calmer.

Egbert Briggs stepped forward and said with a bow, “As Mr. Eternal said, I came here solely to negotiate peace.”

“To hell with peace negotiations, the North Plain has killed so many people from the Southern Province, and now they want peace!?” Someone in the crowd cursed.

Egbert Briggs didn’t get angry and laughed, “Sooner or later, this problem needs to be resolved. If it’s not, more people will die.”

“Moreover, we in the North Plain have also lost many people.”

Mr. Eternal looked at Egbert Briggs and said, “Since it’s about negotiating peace, let’s talk about each other’s conditions. Today, all the influential people in the Southern Province are here, and they can make the decision.”

Egbert Briggs glanced at everyone and said, “We only want thirty star-miles of land along the border for us to survive. In return, I will give you our North Plain’s secret skill, the Sacred Heart Formula.”

“What? The Sacred Heart Formula? The North Plain is willing to give up the Sacred Heart Formula?”

“It’s said that this was a cultivation method created by the predecessors in the North Plain under extremely difficult conditions!”

“If we can get the Sacred Heart Formula, our cultivation will be twice as effective!”

Countless people at the scene began to waver, as they seemed very interested in the Sacred Heart Formula.

Ethan looked at Salena and asked quietly, “What is this Sacred Heart Formula?”

Salena said solemnly, “I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know it’s an incredible secret skill from the North Plain.”

“But I always feel like there’s deceit involved.” Gregory Hum chimed in.

Not only Gregory Hum, but both Ethan and Salena also had the same feeling.

If they just wanted to survive, they would never offer such a condition.

Furthermore, not long ago, Ethan witnessed Ken Middleton capturing the people from the North Plain.

Those two cultivators from the North Plain not only wanted to seize Ethan’s Divine Eagle but also claimed to have formed an alliance with the Western Ridge to attack the Southern Province!

This was completely inconsistent with what Egbert Briggs was saying.

Marquis Rodriguez laughed, “The living conditions in the North Plain are difficult, and I think we all know that. What’s the harm in giving them thirty star-miles? Why not consider it a charitable act?”

“He gets to say all the nice words.” Salena muttered under her breath.

Gregory Hum nodded slightly and said, “I’ve heard a rumor that the cultivators in the North Plain practice a wicked technique that devours people’s divine sense to cultivate. If we really let them in and give them thirty star-miles, who knows what will happen?”

Salena added, “Exactly. If they were truly seeking survival, it would be reasonable to give them thirty star-miles. But the North Plain’s people are notorious for their wicked deeds and have harmed countless people. If we agree to let them in, it will be a disaster.”

Ethan didn’t quite understand all the implications, but he simply didn’t like Mr. Eternal and this Egbert Briggs.

“How about this, let’s decide by a show of hands. How’s that?” Mr. Eternal suggested.

“Anyone who agrees with this decision, please raise your hand now.”
