Bei Xiu was extremely nervous when faced with the cold gazes of the group of experts.
In the end, he was only a tribulation transcending cultivator, and there were at least a dozen Mahayana cultivators staring at him.
Just as he didn’t know how much resources he should take out to hand over to the Alliance Treasury, Chen Chen’s solemn voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
“Report the same amount as me. When the time comes, I will reimburse you.”
“Reimburse… reimburse what does that mean?”Bei Xiu replied submissively.
“It’s this amount of resources that I will pay for!”
“AH? Then won’t I be able to become an elder as well? But with my cultivation base, how would I dare?”
“Why can’t a powerhouse from a sect affiliated to My Divine Elegance Sect become an elder?”Chen Chen cursed in disappointment.
“Hiss!”
“If ask you to report, then report!”
“Our Jinxiu sect will pay one billion supreme-grade spirit stones and sixty thousand spirit crystals.”
Bei Xiu blurted out.
The surroundings quieted down instantly, and the gazes of the cultivators became even colder.
‘There was already a trace of killing intent in the eyes of the people from Flying Cloud sect. If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t make a move on this great snowy mountain, they would have immediately been skinned alive by Bei xiu.
Bei Xiu shivered and braced himself, not changing his words.
“Are you serious?”
Xie tianxing asked after a moment of silence. Although he was asking Bei xiu, he was looking at Chen Chen.
“Absolutely!”
Bei Xiu mustered up his courage and answered. Chen Chen, on the other hand, closed his eyes as if he did not see anything. It was a tacit agreement.
Xie tianxing glanced at the two of them and understood what they meant. He smiled and said, “In that case, the other elder will be bei Xiu from the Jin Xiu sect.”
At this moment, both he and the other elders were overjoyed.
‘The appearance of a freak like Ji Dong had doubled the Alliance Treasury’s resources!
And in the end, weren’t these resources still under the control of the elders?
The moment he said this, it represented the final conclusion. In an instant, all the cultivators in the hall looked at Chen Chen and Bei Xiu.
There was surprise, anger, and a hint of greed hidden in their eyes.
Fifteen minutes later.
The entire hall had undergone an earth-shaking change. There were twelve more seats at the top, and the twelve elders of the anti-heaven Alliance were sitting there.
Chen Chen leaned lazily against the seat, acting like a big shot.
Bei Xiu, on the other hand, was sitting next to him, trembling in fear. Her gaze was erratic.
Xie tianxing sat in the middle. He swept his gaze across the crowd and slowly said,
“Elder, the matter has been settled. Next, let’s discuss the matter of the uprising. Everyone knows about the current situation in the true spirit world. The Abyss sect has given the true spirit world’s several super sects four years of time.
“In these four years, the few great sects in the true spirit world will certainly do their best to develop. They don’t wish for any obstacles to appear. At this time, the power that they can’t completely eliminate within a short period of time will appear, so they can only compromise.
“And if we want to obtain more benefits, there are currently two paths.
“First, divide the relationship between the few great sects. Finally, destroy one of the sects. We’ll occupy this sect’s territory and take advantage of the situation to rise.
“As for the second, the danger level is a little higher. However, if we can succeed, the benefits we’ll obtain will also be great. That is, we’ll have to spin the wheels between the two worlds and eventually find a way to reap the benefits of the others…”
Xie tianxing spoke for a full 15 minutes, and then the elders and the successors of the sects below started a fierce debate.
Chen Chen watched this scene coldly from the side, paying attention to the opinions of the sects.
A few of the younger generation sects had only been destroyed for more than 100,000 years, and they were irreconcilable enemies with the sects in Heavenly Devil City. Therefore, their ideas were very radical, and they even went to the extent of secretly colluding with the Abyss sect to destroy the current
overlord sects such as the immortal sects.
As for the sects from the Mesozoic era, their thoughts were more conservative. In addition, they had enmity with the younger generation, so they constantly opposed the sects from the younger generation.
However, no matter what the views of the three major sects were, none of the sects were willing to fight against the Abyss sect together with the major super sects. Therefore, Chen Chen did not speak up.
After everyone had finished speaking, he asked, “The elders want to add fuel to the dispute between the two worlds and then profit from it. However, with our strength, we don’t even have the qualifications to profit from it. How can we succeed?
“I wonder if the elders have any other hidden strength. It would be better for us to say it so that we can feel at ease.”
Hearing his words, many people below looked at Xie tianxing and a few other mid-stage Mahayana realm and above experts.
This question was also something that the others were curious about.
At this moment, Xu Hui calmly said, “I have a Mahayana junior brother who joined a super sect a long time ago. Now, he holds a high position in it. If I want to cause chaos in that sect, it’s just an order.”
Beside him, another elder added, “Our Demon God Hall also has hidden forces lurking in the Super Sect.”
A moment later, besides Chen Chenbei and Xiu, seven of the other ten elders expressed that there were other forces in the sect. However, only three people said that there were other forces lurking in the Super Sect. They were Xu Hui of the Samsara sect, zhou Qiong of the Roaring Tiger sect and World
Wayfarer Xie tianxing.
It seemed that the person who sent he nian to assassinate him was probably one of the three.
Chen Chen looked deeply at the three of them and said, “This matter is of great importance. We can’t make a decision in a short time. Why don’t we think about it seriously for a while in the great snowmountain of the capital?”
Xie tianxing looked at the others when he heard this. When he saw that no one had any objections, he immediately said, “Alright. This matter is indeed not something that can be decided in a short time.
“Three days. I’ll give everyone three days to discuss it. After three days, we’ll decide on this matter.”
Following that, Xie tianxing began to preside over some other matters. For example, selecting outstanding disciples from various sects and forming an army of cultivators that belonged exclusively to the anti-heaven Alliance. Unknowingly, half a day had passed, only then did the cultivators in the main
hall gradually disperse. They returned to their respective residences on the Great Snow Mountain of the capital city and waited for the next gathering in three days.
However, in less than two hours after the hundreds of sects dispersed, some sects with similar interests began to hold their own small meetings.
Chen Chen’s residence was in a palace on the mountainside of the snow mountain. Looking at the snowy scenery outside the window, his mind sank into deep thought.
The situation in the anti-heaven alliance was too complicated. The hundreds of sects each had their own thoughts. Apart from that, the new generation of sects were too powerful. They were far from being comparable to the sects of the Mesozoic era and the Paleozoic era.
‘What was even more terrifying was that the new generation of sects’thoughts were quite radical..
Whether it was for himself or for the sake of heavenly devil city, he could not let the new generation of sects’thoughts become the mainstream of the anti-heaven Alliance.
And if he wanted to go against the new generation of sects, he would have to let the two major sects, the Mesozoic era and the Paleozoic era, unite and join forces to go against the new generation of sects.
“Senior brother, the sect master of the Flying Cloud Sect has invited you to discuss something. I saw the respectful expression on his disciple’s face. I guess he wants to rope you in.”
Just as he was thinking about how to resolve the conflict between the two factions, Yuan Qingtian walked in from outside.
Chen Chen immediately stood up and replied, “I’ll go now and see if I can convince them to join forces with the ancient sects.”
Yuan Qingtian looked troubled when he heard that. “Senior brother, they have grudges against each other. It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get them to join forces.”
Chen Chen shook his head and said, “In the face of benefits, grudges and grudges are all bullshit. I don’t believe that they would really remember the ancient history from hundreds of thousands of years ago. It’s just a show.”
