Compromise in the Struggle for Influence Across the Provinces

At this moment, Ji Xingfeng, the head of the Ji Family, stood up and said, " In Mo Province, my Ji Family is in charge. Does anyone have any objections?"

Li Moran, the leader of the Vast Righteous Sect, smiled and said, "Your Ji Family wants to take charge? My Vast Righteous Sect has objections."

At this moment, the Calligraphy Saint of the Calligraphy Studio also stood up and said, "Have you two forgotten about my Calligraphy Studio?"

Ji Xingfeng turned to the Calligraphy Saint and said, "You bunch of bookworms are also interested in these things?"

Ji Xingfeng looked down on the Calligraphy Studio that was established later. He had created many obstacles when the Calligraphy Studio was first established, but unfortunately, he still couldn't stop Calligraphy Studio from being established.

This was also a major worry for Ji Xingfeng. If it weren't for the Vast Righteous Sect, his Ji Family would have already dominated Mo Province. The arrival of the Calligraphy Studio a private school) only made him angrier.

Immediately, the three leaders of the various factions began to talk about their own interests, but their words were so heated that they didn't seem like friendly negotiations at all.

Kan Province, this remote and isolated state, is not peaceful either, because these three forces were all established later, and Kan Province is a remote state that other major forces do not want. As a result, three families have emerged: Horizontal Blade Cliff, Medical Saint Pavilion, and Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

However, of the three, Horizontal Blade Cliff was the most competitive and aggressive, and in the end, both the Medical Saint Pavilion and the Hundred Herbs Pavilion compromised.

Horizontal Blade Cliff was only able to compromise with the Medical Saint Pavilion the Hundred Herbs Pavilion on the premise that it would not infringe upon their interests.

So far, the confirmed states are Qian Province, Qi Province, Li Province, Gen Province, Kan Province Tian Province, while no one has stepped forward for Tianzhou.

In Kun Province, the Buddhist and Daoist sects are locked in a fierce struggle. The Sun Moon Sect, headquartered in Kun Province, wanted to get involved, but because the Ghost Lord hadn't arrived, Ouyang Han didn't have the confidence to force the issue. In the end, he could only continue to try to win over Yunzhou.

The Daoist sect didn't want to compete with the Buddhist sect, but the Buddhist sect had gone too far in recent years, and the Daoist sect couldn't stand it anymore. That's why they came out to compete with the Buddhist sect, because they were afraid that if the Buddhist sect took over, the whole Kun Province would be in trouble.

The two sects fought so fiercely that all three sects had to step in to stop them. Only then did the Buddhist and Daoist sects cease their argument. Finally, the two sects compromised and agreed to Kun Province equally. Whoever settled the matter of the Martial Prohibition Hall in a prefecture first would own that prefecture.

This also provided ideas for the several states that were in dispute later, so the negotiations between the major powers were much easier to carry out. Almost all the disputes that could not be resolved were handled in this way.

Before long, most of the agreements for dividing up the various states within the Great Qian regime were compromised.

Old Man Luo watched their argument without saying a word, because for Ascension Tower, this situation might be the best, but every advantage has its disadvantages, and this chaos might not be a good thing for Ascension Tower.

Needless to say, as long as there is competition, the business of Ascension Tower will definitely be booming.

As for the drawbacks, they are obvious: you might unintentionally offend some powerful force. But everyone understands that this is a business transaction, and as long as you don't get involved, there won't be any problems.

However, the real danger lies in the possibility of other states' Ascension Tower getting involved, which would make things difficult, especially given the current disharmony within Ascension Tower itself.

Moreover, there are already signs of this, and Feng Province Ascension Tower may have already become involved.

Elder Nangong and Tianming had previously sought out his son Luo Shiyuan for the same reason, knowing they wouldn't get an answer from him, which is why they went to his son.

This shows that the conflict between the three sects has not been resolved. They are only temporarily united to deal with the Great Qian.

At the very least, the conflict between the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Haotian Sect remains unresolved.

However, Old Man Luo can't control everything right now, so he can only let things take their course. The current situation is because none of the thirteen families of Ascension Tower has a powerful Lineage to unify Ascension Tower.

Not long after, the Lotus Sect in Zhen Province made concessions, agreeing to let the Ye family share the profits, with the same conditions as in Kun Province, although the specific details were slightly different, but the three sects did not concern themselves with these matters.

However, Xun Province was not so easy to obtain from the Lotus Sect. The Ghost School simply did not agree, and even if the Lotus Sect offered the same conditions as Kun Province, it was still not acceptable.

Feng just looked at Kuang Qianzi with a sinister gaze, as if he was about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.

As an even older force than the Lotus Sect, the Ghost School is not afraid of the Lotus Sect at all. Although it would be a stretch to completely destroy the Lotus Sect, crippling it would be no problem at all.

The Lotus Sect dared not expose its cooperation with Corpse Valley, otherwise, even the three major sects would not let her go, let alone others.

As for whether Ghost School and Corpse Valley are colluding, only they know the answer. But on the surface, everyone is working together to strike Corpse Valley.

The White Sword Manor and the Hundred Fists Gate in Dui Province were locked in a fierce struggle, and in the end, the two even agreed to a decisive battle to resolve the issue. As for whether they would still have the strength to deal with the Dui Province Martial Prohibition Hall after their decisive battle, that was none of the concern of the other forces.

If they lack the strength to resolve the issue, other forces wouldn't mind getting involved, especially the Lotus Sect, which has been eager to make a move.

Qi Tianyuan of the White Saint Society is very frustrated. He thought that since the White Saint Society had already achieved so much, taking over Feng Province should have been a piece of cake, but then the Wang Family came out.

He was so angry that he wanted to fight Wang Dali before talking about anything else.

"What exactly does your Wang Family want? Draw a line," Qi Tianyuan said angrily to Wang Dali.

"What does the Wang Family want? Your White Saint Society had better withdraw from Feng Province and return to your old lair in Gen Province," Wang Dali said with a contemptuous look.

Qi Tianyuan pointed at Wang Dali and said angrily, "You are simply being unreasonable. Look at yourself, I taught Hua to put in so much effort to conquer the entire Feng Province, and you just want to give it to me for nothing? You only think the best of things."

Wang Dali said with a smile, "That's your own fault. I was originally going to make a move, but you came and made the first move, so I can only watch from behind. As for what you took, I can only accept it with a smile."

Qi Tianyuan was furious and a surge of power rose from his body, ready to press down on Wang Dali.

However, soon, several powerful auras pressed down on Qi Tianyuan, forcing him to reluctantly suppress his own aura.

In the end, it was the three sects that intervened to mediate the conflict between the Wang Family and the White Saint Society. The old method was still followed: the county town that the White Saint Society had captured would now belong to the White Saint Society.

The subsequent state capital fell to the Wang Family, which greatly angered Qi Tianyuan.

The most difficult places to deal with now are Yunzhou and Mo Province.

In Yunzhou, the three factions— the Deity Summoning Society, the Sun Moon Sect, and the Hundred Craft Hall— were unwilling to relinquish their claim. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise.

The three sects proposed two methods: either a martial arts competition among the three sects, or the sect whose power destroyed the county under the Yunzhou Martial Prohibition Hall would own that county.

In the end, everyone agreed that whoever destroyed the Martial Prohibition Hall in a prefecture first would have that prefecture belong to that force. As for Wind City, the previous prefecture would be left to the discretion of each party.

As for the Five Poisons Sect, they made a request: they wanted a county town as their sphere of influence. In the end, the three families had no choice but to agree.

In Mo Province, the Ji Family and the Vast Righteous Sect were locked in a power struggle. The Calligraphy Studio retreated first, as long as neither family was in charge and the other did not infringe on the interests of his Calligraphy Studio.

The remaining two companies intend to settle their differences before making a decision, possibly due to past grudges between them.
