Staring at the two who were lost in thought and silent after hearing his words, Pei Yan continued to entice, "Of course, the main force of the attack will still be you. Therefore, my forces and I will help you suppress those other refuge leaders who are unwilling to submit to you, allowing you to consolidate power quickly! A great victory in the Bull Territory is not enough for the Holy City to value Kataraga's achievements, so what about rescuing the Star Lord by continuing to break through three larger Disaster Pillar camps? I think by then, Miss Sifuer, you will become the largest force apart from the Holy City, right? By then, the Holy City would have no choice but to acknowledge your status, wouldn't it?"

"Very tempting! Very attractive! Since Mr. Shitang has been so open, then I have a question. The reinforcements you have brought, do they also have the capability to fight under the Red Disaster? I observed carefully that neither you nor your subordinates seem to be affected by the Red Disaster? This isn't something brought by technology, is it?" Sifuer raised her head, her cunning eyes fixed on Pei Yan with a slight smile.

Pei Yan spread his hands and did not answer directly, "Everyone and every organization has its own secrets? I haven't delved into your secret of confining the Disaster Pillar's earth veins, have I?"

"I can agree to the last condition you mentioned right now. As for the first and second ones, once you assist our party in controlling the refuge forces in this area, I will gather all available strategic materials to meet your needs. As for the third and fourth conditions, apologies, I currently do not have the capability to agree, but if you can really help us rescue the Star Lord and support my ascension, I will do my utmost to facilitate the transactions between the Holy City and the Keystone Plane."

At the end of speaking, Sifuer couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "To say, none of the conditions you proposed can be fulfilled by me currently. Mr. Shitang, are you still willing to proceed with this transaction?"

"Why wouldn't I be willing?" Pei Yan stood up, turned in place, and smiled as he leaned on the back of the chair, "Investment, it involves taking risks. We have confidence in ourselves just as we do in you! So, has our cooperation been reached this time?" Having finished speaking, Pei Yan walked to the table and extended his left hand.

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse!" Sifuer stood up and extended her right hand to shake his.

"Pleasure to cooperate!"

"Pleasure to cooperate!"

Looking out the window at the backs of the uncle and nephew disappearing into the morning mist, Ye Ruozai turned his head to see Pei Yan starting to pack his belongings, asking, "Are you sure you want to do this? This is a major deal for the department!"

"Big deals bring big returns! Old Ye, forty thousand Red Armored Warriors! The last time you absorbed those Red Armored Warrior essences, you all improved quite a bit, didn't you?" Pei Yan looked at Xia Ye and others and asked.

"Quite a bit, the improvement speed is fast!"

"Yeah, I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking through to the fifth stage of awakening!" Xia Ye and Zhao Yuanhu chimed in.

Pei Yan tightened his backpack and said, "Yes, the department is eager to break the situation here, and we're eager to increase strength to avenge Xiaoye and the squad! Originally planning to methodically wait for Sifuer's gradual advance, but now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes, might as well make a one-time deal, completely break the bone of the Disaster Legion to make a big profit. If we truly agree to Sifuer and their plan, with their migration, the initiative falls again to the Disaster Legion's side, who knows how it will develop afterward making it difficult to overturn!"

"Yes, but don't put too much pressure on yourselves, regarding my brother's matter..." Ye Ruozai paused in thought, helplessly said, "It can't be rushed."

"We know! Fortunately, there's a time gap, we can use it to quickly increase strength, now's the time for the department to make a decision." Pei Yan, after packing, looked at his hands. Last time, after gathering two Red Disasters, his strength soared. If he could absorb a few more rule fragments and the energy from this battle's Red Disaster dispersal, he might breakthrough to the sixth stage of awakening in one go.

"Haha, looks like we're going to fight alongside Wang Wen, err... Old Wang again! Last time, he wasn't satisfied because he couldn't come." Xia Ye laughed out loud happily.

"And Xiaojiang, he's been holding back so long wanting to show his skills! This time a full-scale attack, he's the protagonist finally having his stage!" Zhao Yuanhu also smiled and agreed, but towards the end, her interest waned. After absorbing a powerful ability at the Secret Prison, she became stronger in solo combat and thought she could help Pei Yan here, yet didn't expect not having many opportunities for solo fights here, mainly large-scale battles, making her capability less important, leaving her somewhat downcast.

Pei Yan, wholeheartedly focused on advancing in power, couldn't read the girl's mind. After tidying up, he clapped his hands and announced the departure!

When they exited the room to the prisoners' location, the soldiers sent by Sifuer had long been waiting. Having negotiated the terms, Pei Yan did not delay and moved the schedule ahead, conveniently using the escorting of prisoners back to reality as an opportunity to call for reinforcements.

Due to the agreement, Sifuer felt that future collaboration would be more intimate, so the number of people escorting the prisoners this time was more than tripled, reaching over a thousand, and was personally led by Bailang with Leohard accompanying.

To accommodate the enormous body of the queen insect, Pei Yan specifically melted a large flatbed tractor, creaking the ground as it moved, evidently accelerating the team's progress.

"Mr. Shitang, you don't have to worry, this beast has strong vitality and won't have any issues." Riding on horseback, Bailang turned his head to shout at Pei Yan, who was bustling in the team, checking the prisoners' conditions, and urging Demon Race soldiers to continually splash water on the queen insect.

"It better be so, Mr. Bailang, you don't understand the meaning of these prisoners to our upcoming battles. A better understanding of them will help us win more easily!" Pei Yan landed next to the prison cart, concernedly eyeing the weak, barely alive Red Armored Warrior prisoners.

"Mr. Shitang, how many people from your side will assist us this time?" Bailang tugged the reins next to Pei Yan and whispered, "It's not that I don't trust you, but just to remind you, not only is detaining Star Lord at the Disaster Territory a challenge, but also subduing other refuge leaders won't be easy."

"Do any refuge leaders have more strength than you?" Pei Yan raised his head to question Bailang above.

Upon hearing this, Bailang thought for a moment and nodded, "There are two or three, reaching near the level of the Demon God's Personal Guard, their strength should not be underestimated!"

"Alright, got it. Rest assured, you'll be satisfied!" Pei Yan said no more and continued to focus on the prisoners he was so intent on.
