On the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a solitary peak stands proudly between the sea of clouds like a long sword thrust into the sky. The sides of the mountain are filled with steep cliffs, exposing criss-crossing gray and white rock textures. This is the main peak of the Cangqiong Sect - Daodao Peak, and is also where the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance is now located.
At the top of the peak sits a majestic and antique building complex. The well-proportioned palaces are dotted with ancient pines with strong shapes, intertwined with greenery and ancient meanings. On the grand main hall in the center, there is a simple plaque hanging high, which reads three characters: Daoist Hall.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Daoist Hall was depressing.
The spacious hall is surrounded by a circle of ancient wood-carved seats, and the heads and elders of each sect are already seated. Sitting on the main seat in the center are the current heads of the three major sects of the Immortal Alliance: Jian Hong, the head of Shenjian Mountain, Su Jingui, the head of Wanling Sect, and Li Tian, the head of Tianxuan Pavilion.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Yan, who was standing in the center of the hall.
Mo Yan stood there expressionless. He had just announced the news that Demon King Cang Mo was willing to negotiate for peace, and then the entire palace fell into silence.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions. Yun Zhan, who was standing next to Jian Hong, was dressed in a snow-white sword robe. He had a tall and straight posture, and his expression was as cold as frost, showing no emotion.
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
An angry shout suddenly broke the silence.
Jian Hong, the leader of Shenjian Mountain, slammed the armrest of the seat and shouted angrily in a cold voice, "Humans and monsters have been at odds since ancient times. What's the point of talking with a group of beasts that drink blood? What's more, the monsters are cunning by nature. How can we believe the words of Cang Mo, the devil?"
Su Jingui, who was sitting next to him, looked kind and said with a smile, "Master Jianhong, please don't be so angry. The demon clan has lived a stable life in Demon Emperor City these years, and they may not really want to fight us to the death. Since they are willing to put Elder Mo back intact, they are somewhat sincere."
"Sincerity?" Jian Hong sneered, his face ashen, "The demon clan has a deep hatred for the human race, and Cang Mo is a cruel, cruel, and murderous demon. Will he be willing to negotiate for peace? I think the so-called peace talks are just a delaying tactic to deceive us into releasing those demon slaves!"
The hall was quiet again for a moment, and the leaders of each faction looked at each other in confusion, exchanging hesitant glances. Li Tianze, who was sitting on the other side, was holding a tea cup and lowered his eyes in silence.
Su Jingui still smiled and said, "Now that the Scarlet Lian Sect has just been exterminated, and our weapon supply has not been solved, how can we start a war with the demon clan? What's more, the Demon Emperor City has been relatively peaceful in the past few years and has not taken the initiative to provoke the human race. The two clans have been entangled in grudges for so many years. If we can really take this opportunity to end the dispute and coexist peacefully, it will be a good thing that benefits the common people."
"What do you mean you haven't been provoked?!" Jian Hong was so angry that his beard stood up, pointing in the direction outside the palace and yelling angrily, "Lin Qingyang is still imprisoned in the Demon King's Palace! After all, he is a member of the Immortal Alliance, and he was... given... by that devil Cang Mo..."
Jian Hong gritted his teeth, as if he found that word too hard to say, and finally he could only angrily roll up his sleeves and curse, "He did such a thing that is worse than a beast, it is obvious that he does not take the Immortal Alliance seriously!"
When Lin Qingyang was mentioned, everyone's expressions were a little complicated. Feng Shu and Feng Yi even looked anxious. Yun Zhan also frowned and looked at Jian Hong with a stern expression.
Mo Yan, who had been silent all this time, sighed helplessly and said, "Head Jianhong, things... are not what you think. Well... Lin Qingyang has something to say, please let me tell you."
Mo Yan took a deep breath, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and repeated, "He said that he and Cang Mo... were in love and had already gone to the church to get married. He stayed in Demon Emperor City voluntarily. If the Immortal Alliance wants to fight, please find another excuse and don't use him as a raft."
As soon as these words came out, the entire Daoist Hall fell into a dead silence.
"Shameless! Immoral!" Jian Hong reacted and trembled with anger. He pointed at Mo Yan and yelled, "He is also known as the Fenghua Sword Immortal, but he has committed himself to a demon clan evildoer! He dares to speak so brazenly, it is simply shameless! Cough cough cough!"
Jian Hong was so angry that he coughed violently and couldn't speak.
Mo Yan had a look of helplessness on his face. He was very suspicious that half of Lin Qingyang's purpose in asking him to say this in public was for Qi Jianhong's benefit.
Su Jingui on the side lit up his eyes and said, "Since Lin Xianjun has said so, then this is purely a family matter. How can we, the Immortal Alliance, interfere in it?"
Su Jingui said with a smile, "Besides, since they are in love, it makes sense that Cang Mo wants to make amends with the human race! War is a waste of people and money, and the major sects have lost countless disciples. Being able to solve it without bloodshed is naturally the best strategy!"
"Stop messing with Ni Ni here!" Jian Hong retorted sternly, "The demon tribe has gradually grown in power in recent years. If we don't eradicate it as soon as possible now, it will become a big trouble in the future. Then it will be really difficult to deal with!"
"Why do we have to deal with them?" Su Jingui's tone was a bit tougher, "The demon tribe has taken the initiative to negotiate peace. If there are any conflicts, wouldn't it be better for us to sit down and talk about it?"
"What's there to talk about with them? What if they cheat on the negotiating table and lay a trap?"
"We haven't even started talking yet. How do you know that it will be a scam? If you are afraid of Shenjian Mountain, don't go there!"
"Isn't it that your Wanling Sect is most afraid of the demon clan all along?"
The two of them exchanged words with each other, and immediately started a tit-for-tat quarrel in the hall. The heads and elders of other factions could not restrain themselves, and joined in with all kinds of talk. For a time, there was a lot of noise in the hall, and the leader and the leader each had their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
Mo Yan had a headache from the noise. Looking at the stalemate, he suddenly raised his voice and said through the noisy hall, "Pavilion Master Li, what do you think about this matter?"
The noise stopped abruptly.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Li Tian, the master of Tianxuan Pavilion who was sitting in the middle and never said a word.
Jian Hong and Su Jingui also stopped arguing and turned to look at him. Even Li Yan, who had been standing behind Li Tian, lowered his head slightly and looked over.
The Immortal Alliance is now headed by three major sects. In addition to Shenjian Mountain and Wanling Sect, Tianxuan Pavilion also plays an important role. However, Li Tian usually lives in seclusion and has a neutral attitude most of the time. He rarely expresses his position clearly at the Immortal Alliance Conference. But now that the two factions are in a stalemate, Li Tian's attitude is particularly important.
Li Tian put down the tea cup in his hand unhurriedly, still looking like a gentle and gentle gentleman, and scanned the crowd. After a moment of silence, he only heard his cold voice say, "Tianxuan Pavilion, agree to peace talks."
The final word.
Jian Hong glared at Li Tian angrily, his face turning from green to white, and finally flicked the sleeves of his large Daoist robes, and left the Daoist Hall angrily. When Lu Qing and several other elders of the main fighting sect of Shenjian Mountain saw this, they followed him with livid faces and left angrily.
Yun Zhan was still standing in the distance, frowning and looking at Mo Yan, his cold eyes filled with a bit of gloom.
