C390 ultimate negotiation
"Indeed, although the people who erased the traces were careful, they were still unable to hide from us two experts of the Sendai!"
Not long after Xiao Fan and the other two left, two middle aged men came to the place.
Staring at the bare stone tablet, the two of them were filled with doubt. Someone had done something to the stone tablet. Even though the people who touched it were extremely careful, they were still unable to escape their eyes.
"Say, do you think that the secret behind it was stolen by Xiao Fan? He was afraid that people later on would discover it and intentionally erase it!"
"It's quite possible that he did. After all, the three of them were the first to enter. I wonder what secrets were hidden on the stone stele that caused him to erase everything!"
"Stop nagging, hurry up and go find him. This brat is very cunning!"
"Brother, you must hold back your impulses. Xiao Fan definitely has a powerful backer, he cannot be forced to attack him!"
"Don't worry. Impulse is the devil. At most, I will take him as my younger brother. With me protecting him, he might even be able to share a secret with me!"
The two of them chatted for a while before they looked for Xiao Fan and the other two to leave.
The stone tablets here had been erased by someone, and it was most likely the doing of Xiao Fan and the other two.
Since Xiao Fan and the other two dared to erase traces, then the secret on the stone tablet must be very important, causing Xiao Fan and the other two to have no choice but to erase traces.
But then again, even if Xiao Fan really did erase the traces and took away the secret on the stone tablet, the two of them shouldn't have done anything to Xiao Fan.
All of Xiao Fan's actions had already caused them to believe that Xiao Fan had a powerful backer. Otherwise, his methods and strength would have been so abnormal.
After two hours, Xiao Fan and the other two had found the same place on the map of the four ancient cities.
Just as Xiao Fan had said, the words on the stone tablet were exactly the same as the one on the West City Square.
It was a pity that despite looking for five locations and obtaining five paragraphs, they were still unable to form a complete sentence.
In other words, if he wanted to unravel the secret text on the stone monument, he would have to get the other four words as well. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to decipher the meaning within.
"Let's go to the next location!" Xiao Fan once again erased the words on the stone tablet, and brought the two of them to the next place.
However, not long after they left, those two people appeared again.
"Those three kids' movements were really fast. Another stone tablet was erased, so the stone tablet must have contained a heaven-shocking secret!"
"I wonder how many of these stone monuments there are. Let's hurry up and take a look!"
The two of them had just arrived and continued their chase.
By the time the two of them had traced their way to the fifth stone tablet, the contents of the stone tablet had also been erased.
If the five stone steles were erased, then there must be some big secret hidden within.
Outside the ancient city, more and more people rushed past the ancient battlefield and entered the ancient city.
As for the dozen or so people who entered the ancient city first, they had already explored the place for a long time.
On a tall platform in the center of the ancient city, the Jiang Yan siblings, Liu Baize, Bu Tianyun, Zhang Cong Han and seven or eight others were gathered there.
On this high platform, there was a large stone tablet standing tall. On the stone tablet, there were strange characters and symbols carved on it.
However, those symbols were not only ancient, but also unrecognizable to the crowd.
With their sects and clans' background, they were extremely familiar with the study of ancient civilizations. However, no one could recognize the characters on the stone tablet in front of them.
As time passed, the crowd gradually gathered in the center of the ancient city.
On the high platform, other than over a dozen experts of the Sendai realm, no one else dared to step foot on it.
"Brother Cai Qingtong of the extraterrestrial civilization, you are said to be proficient in both ancient and modern extraterrestrial civilizations, do you recognize the words on it?" Liu Baize stared at a tall and skinny middle aged man as he spoke.
"Hehe!" The words on the stone tablet are indeed very ancient. However, I have never seen such characters before! " Cai Qingtong said with a cold smile, "The families of your sects have existed longer than our research institute for extraterrestrial civilization. Could it be that some of you know about it but don't want to share it?"
Liu Baize's words sounded normal, but they were actually taunting them about the extraterrestrial civilization. If he didn't recognize the words on it, then it could only be said that the extraterrestrial civilization had an undeserved reputation.
However, he did not recognize the words on it, and no one in the extraterrestrial civilization would be able to recognize it. There was no doubt about that.
Even so, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, their organization hadn't existed for long.
On the contrary, the forces behind these sects and clans had been in existence for a long time. Perhaps they knew about it, but they just didn't want to share it with the crowd.
"This writing is very ancient. The Jiang Clan does not have information regarding this writing!" Jiang Yan smelled a trace of gunpowder and clarified.
"That's right, these characters are too ancient. Our Confucius Academy has no records of them!" Zhang Cong Han agreed.
"Hehe, who knows, just say it. Don't hide it anymore. You two, Penglai and Yaochi, have always been fairyland in China. You two should know about this brother and sister, right?" Cai Qingtong looked at a man and a woman.
The man was from Penglai Immortal Island. His name was Huang Tao Qi and the woman was from Yao Chi. Her name was Qi Yue.
Whether it was Penglai or Yaochi, they were both places of immortality in the legends of ancient gods and gods.
The people of these two places should know better about these ancient characters.
"I, Penglai, do not have any records on this either!" Huang Tao Qi said with a straight face.
"I, Yao Chi, do not know either!" Qi Yue Bing said coldly.
"That's fun. If no one knows, then there's nothing left to play!" Cai Qingtong said.
"We know who knows the secret!"
Just as everyone was feeling gloomy, the two men chasing Xiao Fan rushed over.
"What? Brother Li and Brother Zhang from the Tian Dao Sect, what good news do you have to share?" Liu Baize stared at the two people who had rushed over and said.
"That's right, we two brothers have been tracking them for almost two hours. We finally have some idea of what's going on!" Li He from the Heavenly Dao Sect said.
"That person should be Xiao Fan or his two brothers. They must have erased the information on the other eight stone tablets!" Zhang Xiance said.
"If I had known earlier that this thief was hiding such a huge secret, I would have captured him. I can't let him take all the secrets here!" Jiang Zhentian's eyes were filled with anger, and his attitude was extremely bad.
Xiao Fan, this boy that he thought was extremely mysterious indeed had a huge secret on him.
They did not understand the words on the stone tablet, and the rest of the stone tablet had already been erased by Xiao Fan, which meant that there were many problems.
The secret of the ancient city would definitely not be monopolized by Xiao Fan alone.
"What should we do? What should we do? Someone is tracking us and discovering the secret within!" In a dark corner at the intersection of a street, Ma Haoqiang said somewhat panickedly.
The words on the stone tablet had been erased by Xiao Fan, but had been discovered by someone. Over ten important figures knew that it was them, and the situation was not good.
"Don't panic, only I can read the words on it. We still have a huge advantage!" Xiao Fan comforted her.
"Then are we going out to negotiate with the adults?" Lin Gaoxuan said.
"That's right. This is the only way, the final negotiation!" Xiao Fan nodded and said.
The last stone tablet was in the center of the ancient city and it was still being surrounded by the adults of the Sendai.
If they wanted to decipher the secret text on the ninth stone tablet, they would have to go through a lot. They only had one way left to go and negotiate with the ten or so experts. There was no other choice.
The negotiation was their last choice. Ma Haoqiang and Lin Gaoxuan were also helpless as they followed Xiao Fan up the stage.
"Brat, you still have the guts to appear here. You sure are bold. Hand over the secret of these stone tablets!" Jiang Zhentian stared at the approaching Xiao Fan, and said angrily.
"Who do you think you are? If you want me to hand it over, so be it. Besides, you don't understand what I mean. It's useless for you to hand it over, so bring it along with you!" Xiao Fan said disdainfully as he stepped onto the stage.
"You!" Jiang Zhentian was instantly angered to the point of speechlessness. That's right, he did not recognize the words on the stone tablet.
"Listen to what little brother said, little brother knows each other. Can you share it with us?" Liu Baize said.
"Sharing is fine, but we need to have a grand final negotiation. Everyone needs to show some sincerity!" Xiao Fan grinned, and said with a thick smile.
