At 10 a. m., the sun was shining brightly.
when--!
With a loud chime, the mediation meeting officially began!
The courtyard had a small bridge and flowing water, and the scenery was elegant, but few people were in the mood to appreciate it. Most of the people present knew that Ning Chuan was most likely going to start a battle to demonstrate his strength and intimidate the Law Spirit!
A tense atmosphere permeated the courtyard.
Nie Shanyi stood up, looked at Ning Chuan who was sitting in the main seat, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He hated this upward-looking perspective!
Especially when dealing with a local.
However, being a genius of the Nie Family, Nie Shanyi was of good character and did not show it. He calmly announced, "This meeting is to mediate the war between the Law Spirit Alliance and the United Human Federation."
"The period of Martial Star resurgence is a golden age for cultivators; there's no need to endanger ordinary lives!"
"Whatever demands each party has, we can discuss them openly."
After a brief explanation, Nie Shanyi turned slightly to look at the many Law Spirit opposite him and said, " The Law Spirit are stronger overall, so they can speak first."
Thank you, sir.
Nine Clouds Wind Bat, representing the Law Spirit Alliance, stood up and coldly stated, "We can forgo the massacre, but in return, the Federation must hand over 20% of its population—not the elderly, children, or the sick—but only able-bodied young humans, for us to sacrifice or rule!"
"The time that the Law Spirit have managed this land far surpasses that of the Federation!"
The Nine Clouds Wind Bat struck the ground with a resounding thud.
Before the Federation could reply, Song Ren, one of the three Alliance Divine Sons, stood up and said, "Brother Nie, I also have something to say."
"Speaking."
Nie Shanyi smiled faintly.
Song Ren glanced in the direction of Ning Chuan and sneered, "With the power of the Federation government, it cannot provide security for too many humans. I demand that the Federation divide half of its territory, plus 30% of its population, and place it under the administration of the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Federation's powerful figures all changed, and anger rose within them.
The so-called trusteeship is nothing but a joke; in essence, it's about ceding territory and compensating others!
Ning Chuan remained expressionless, lost in thought.
Nie Shanyi ignored the Federation's powerful figures, turned his gaze to the several committee members of the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council present, and asked, "What do you all think?"
"Inappropriate."
Li Yunxi immediately shook her head, but she was the only one who refused; all the other committee members agreed.
I agree!
"The foundation for protecting the weak is not to hinder the growth of the strong. The requirements of the Law Spirit are not a problem!"
"Passage permitted!"
A chorus of approving voices rang out, and many of the Law Spirit wore smug smiles.
Seeing this, Nie Shanyi then looked at the Federation's powerful figures and asked unhurriedly, "What are the Federation's thoughts on this?"
"Utterly ridiculous!"
Bai Qi was enraged, his gaze icy, indignant at the other party's shamelessness, and questioned, " The Martial Star Peace Supervision Council this mediation?!"
The words were finished.
A few soft laughs rippled through the area where the many geniuses had taken their seats.
This mediation meeting was actually a scheme by the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council in collusion with the Law Spirit to pressure the Federation and force Ning Chuan to hand over the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage!
I think it's just mediation!
A serious voice rang out from the area where the Law Spirit was seated.
The speaker was a figure in a black robe. He removed his wide hood, revealing a human face that the Federation's Heavenly King present recognized immediately.
It was none other than Xu Yuan, the Heavenly King of the Great River Realm, who had defected to the Federation!
His true form was killed by Ning Chuan within the Divine Martial Stele, but his avatar was crafted from a rare and precious object of heaven and earth, allowing him to remain in human form.
Xu Yuan looked around solemnly and said loudly, "My Xu Yuan, and I am the head of the Federation's exiled government, enjoying the power to rule over the 80 billion people of the Federation. I agree to the requests of the members of the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council!"
The Law Spirit, including the Nine Clouds Wind Bat, stood to the side with smiles on their faces.
They have a cooperative relationship with Xu Yuan and specifically invited him to attend the meeting!
After all, with the assistance of a powerful human from a Martial Star, the Law Spirit's side was unlikely to be at a disadvantage in negotiations.
"Traitor!"
" Xu Yuan, you still dare to show yourself? You're courting death!"
"Who gave you the power to rule!"
The Federation's many Heavenly King rose to their feet, their fury uncontrollable!
In their view, it was understandable that Xu Yuan was afraid of Ning Chuan's defection, and it could be attributed to personal grudges. However, for his own benefit, he was willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of billions of people!
Unforgivable!
Xu Yuan sneered, refusing to back down, and said, "I betrayed the Federation for the sake of 80 billion people. With the resurgence of Martial Star and the outbreak of war, only a certain degree of concession and sacrifice is the right path for the Federation!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi stood up abruptly, his silver hair flying wildly, and a silver spear materialized, emanating Heaven Kill intent!
He had witnessed Xu Yuan's rise to power, but he could never have imagined that the other party could be so despicable and vile.
Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but when he caught a glimpse of the powerful Law Spirit around him, he calmed down and asked seriously, " Bai Qi, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
" Ning Chuan is indeed powerful, but this is the era of revival, and there are countless beings stronger than him!"
"His hardline stance will only lead the Federation to its demise!"
Xu Yuan's tone was agitated, as if he were particularly indignant, as he said, " Ning Chuan bears an undeniable responsibility for the Federation's current state. If he had listened to me and cooperated with Si Nanbo from the very beginning, the Federation's current situation would certainly be much better..."
"Die!"
Before Xu Yuan could finish speaking, Bai Qi delivered the killing blow. A thrust pierced through the sky, the silver spear carrying terrifying power, like a thunderbolt striking, with overwhelming force!
Xu Yuan's expression changed drastically, but with his strength, he had no time to dodge.
"Break!"
The next moment, the Nine Clouds Wind Bat snorted coldly, remaining seated without moving. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed two enormous wind blades that cleaved the heavens and earth, their sharpness unmatched!
boom!
During the collision, the silver spear shuddered violently and flew out sideways!
The Nine Clouds Wind Bat not only restores Earth Realm combat power, but also, with the help of the pills given by Nie Shanyi, can utilize the Innate Law of the Earth Realm!
He's a whole level above Bai Qi!
"Call..."
Xu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, becoming even more determined to cooperate with Law Spirit.
He raised his head, looking directly at Ning Chuan in the main seat, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said, "Killing to silence someone? Is this all you're capable of as the Supreme Commander of the Federation?"
If you think I'm wrong about anything, please point it out!
I am different from you; I dare to confront you!
Xu Yuan adopted a strong stance, appearing righteous and awe-inspiring!
Ning Chuan looked down indifferently, said nothing, raised one hand, and pressed it down in mid-air.
Sizzle!
In an instant, a jet-black beam of light pierced through the void, as if a crack had suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!
The many creatures present only felt a blur before their eyes, unable to perceive any details at all!
Only a few powerful individuals could perceive that it was a jet-black spear heading straight for Xu Yuan, exuding a chillingly sharp aura!
Gloomlight Spear!
As Ning Chuan's martial art advanced to the River Realm through the Heaven and Earth Piercing Law, it reached the fifth level. Coupled with the propulsion of terrifying Force, its killing power was earth-shattering!
Something's not right!
Nine Clouds Wind Bat's expression changed slightly, realizing something was wrong. It quickly flapped its wings and shot out two wind blades!
Unlike the previous collisions, the two wind blades were instantly pierced through upon impact, exploding with a loud bang and being forcefully destroyed!
Of course, the Gloomlight Spear was also affected; the light flowing throughout it dimmed somewhat.
This indicates that the power has decreased.
But for Xu Yuan, it made no difference!
He still couldn't resist!
Sizzle!
A jet-black beam of light flashed by, piercing through Xu Yuan's forehead without any obstruction, leaving a bloody hole that was both clear and bright!
Xu Yuan silently knelt down on the ground.
His face, facing Ning Chuan, was frozen, still bearing the resentment, terror, and despair of his dying moments!
He never imagined that Ning Chuan would actually dare to use such a deadly method!
This is a mediation meeting hosted by geniuses from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom!
Xu Yuan couldn't help but recall something: when Ning Chuan killed his true form in the Divine Martial Stele, he said something like, "I will kill his avatar with one hand!"
This moment has truly become a reality!
"I don't want to die..."
Endless regret welled up in Xu Yuan's heart. If he had the chance, he would never have come. Xu Yuan struggled desperately, but his consciousness quickly sank into darkness...
Snap!
With a crisp sound, Xu Yuan's body fell to the ground, dark red blood gushing from between his eyebrows, staining the grass beneath him and spreading like a stream, standing out conspicuously in the elegant courtyard!
A deathly silence fell over the scene!
Many of the descending geniuses changed their expressions, looking at Ning Chuan with disbelief.
They anticipated that Ning Chuan would resort to force.
I never expected him to dare to kill someone!
Even if the person killed was a traitor to the Federation, he was still invited by the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council!
Taking action to suppress and kill is a different concept from demonstrating one's strength to intimidate Law Spirit!
The latter is going to stand on the opposite side of the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council!
Many living beings cannot understand!
Doesn't this supreme commander, who was given the title of Quelling Chaos, know the consequences of killing someone at a mediation meeting?
