C3962 Might as Well Let Go
The Sand King, who was initially hesitant and did not know how to make a decision, seemed to have understood something and gradually made up his mind.
He sighed and said, "Even a nobody from the human race like you has such knowledge. No wonder the human race can be where we are today. It is reasonable for us to lose."
"That's right. The world is like this. If a mantis tries to stop a chariot, needless to say, the result will be obvious. The failure of the monster race is inside, not outside."
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, saying what he had always wanted to say in his heart.
It could be seen from the previous fight between Black Scale and Sha Qi, where neither of them was willing to give in.
He shook his head. His actions were funny and ridiculous at the same time.
One should know that the Sha Clan was in a dangerous situation. They were in a precarious situation. If they were not careful, they might die.
Even though the Sand Race was in such a dangerous situation, the Black Scale Race and the Sand Race were still fighting amongst themselves. If they didn't unite and gather their forces together, the Sand Race would be finished sooner or later.
When he thought of this, he completely understood the Sand King's painstaking efforts and how his face was formed.
"The Sand King will definitely be so worried that he won't be able to sleep after meeting such a group of people."
Chen Xiao thought to himself.
"Are you laughing at me?" Suddenly, the Sand King spoke.
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He felt uncomfortable that his heart had been seen through. He immediately lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
The Sand King did not criticize him. Instead, he changed his tone and sighed, "Heh, the humans are laughing at me. Even my clansmen are laughing at me for being useless. My clan has fallen to such a state, and I have a common responsibility. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done what I did."
The Sand King's sigh once again pulled Chen Xiao's thoughts back. He became interested and asked.
"Sand King, it is said that back then, when the Immortal Weapon Sect attacked the Sha Family, Yi Qianxian, the genius of the Immortal Weapon Sect, accidentally died in the territory of the Sha Family. Is that true?"
"There is such a thing, but the inside story is not as the rumors say. Heh, no matter how reckless my clan is, we would never kill Yi Qianxian and provoke the Immortal Weapon Sect. It is... Sigh."
The Sand King wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he just sighed and stopped.
It was like a scar on the Sand King's heart. He felt so painful that he couldn't bear to look back.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao tactfully did not ask any further questions. Judging from the Sand King's pained expression, he knew that he was filled with regret.
This also made him even more curious. What exactly happened back then that would cause a war between the two races just because of Yi Qianxian's death?
It seemed that there was more than meets the eye. Even the Sand King didn't want to talk about it.
Heh, this is getting more and more interesting.
Thus, Chen Xiao took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "I still don't know what your choice is, Sand King."
Hearing that, the Sand King's tiger-like eyes glared and released a blood-red light. He shouted, "If my clan wants to regain its prestige and occupy a territory, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Xiao laughed and said indifferently, "Sand King, if that's what you think, it won't be difficult. It won't be difficult."
"Oh, tell me."
"As long as the Sand Clan can produce a second Immortal expert, it will be fine," Chen Xiao said.
When these words came out, the Sand King could not help but take a deep breath, and his expression changed slightly.
It had to be said that this method was indeed the most direct and effective.
Now that the Sand Race was on the decline, there were many conflicts within the clan. It was extremely dangerous. One of the biggest reasons was that no one other than the Sand King could control it.
Furthermore, the Sand King was old and injured. If anything happened to him, the Sha Clan would be destroyed in an instant. This was the greatest danger.
As long as another undying Sand Yao appeared, there would be nothing to worry about.
But just as Chen Xiao had said, although this method was the most direct and effective, it was also the most difficult. The path of cultivation relied on luck. If the opportunity did not arrive, everything would be in vain.
The Sand King's expression darkened, and he asked again, "Other than this, is there any other way?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and replied: "No, the Sha Clan can only continue to lurk, accumulate strength, and wait for the second Immortal to appear. Only then can we resolve the crisis, otherwise..."
Chen Xiao did not continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
The Sand King nodded and said, "Your words are not bad. You did not lie to me. What about the second option?"
Apparently, the first option was the most difficult one for the Sand King.
Right now, the Sand Race was in ruins and their talent was low. It was extremely hard to produce a second undying.
It was also because the Sand King saw danger that he couldn't take the first path and could only change.
Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at the Sand King. His eyes flashed with spirit as he said, "Let go."
When the Sand King heard this, it sneered, "Let go? Heh, what a cunning human. If I had not been keeping an eye on you, I would have thought that you were a negotiator sent by the humans."
Chen Xiao denied it and said: "No, it's not that I'm coveting your treasure. It's that everyone, including your clansmen, is coveting the Dust Crystal Ore."
The Dust Crystal Ore was the foundation of the Sand Clan, and it had been their greatest reliance since ancient times.
At the same time, the Dust Crystal Mine was also the biggest curse of the Sand Race. Because of this treasure, countless fights broke out, and the current Sand Race had fallen to such a state.
The reason why the Immortal Weapon Sect attacked the Sha Race ten thousand years ago was because of the Dust Crystal Mine.
At that time, when the Sha Race was at its peak, they could still protect their treasure mountain and rule over a region. No one would dare to attack them.
However, the situation was different now. They could only rely on the Yellow Sand Great Array to seal the doors of their clan and barely defend the Dust Crystal mine. However, this wasn't a long-term plan.
This was the biggest problem of the Sha Race. They had a mountain of treasures, but they were unable to use it.
After all, the Sha Race didn't know how to make weapons, nor did they know how to maximize the benefits of the Dust Crystals. Humans were the best at this.
Hearing this, the Sand King was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing. He was extremely pleased with Chen Xiao's words.
Then, the Sand King asked in a deep voice, "How do I let go?"
Chen Xiao lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he asked, "Are all the Dust Crystal Ore Deposits in the Sand Clan under your control?"
The key to this question was not control, but complete control.
The Sand King was well aware of this and nodded. "Yes."
"Is there any leakage of the Dust Crystal?" Chen Xiao asked the second question.
"Yes. Back then, I signed a contract with the Immortal Weapon Sect. They will mine a small portion of the Dust Crystals and make a deal with the Immortal Weapon Sect in exchange for the resources that my clan needs," the Sand King replied.
"Only the Immortal Weapon Sect?"
"Yes."
"That's the problem. This is equivalent to the Immortal Weapon Sect monopolizing the source of the dust crystals. It is beneficial to the Immortal Weapon Sect but harmful to the Sha Race."
Chen Xiao said, his words hitting the nail on the head.
