Chapter 853: Aftermath
"What are you going to do? Are you going to kill them all?" Inside the Xuansha Palace, the Fire Dragon asked Qin Ziling.
"This is such a big sect, involving so many disciples and families, and they are actually all innocent. I can't really kill them all!
If that's the case, wouldn't I be a cold-blooded, murderous devil?" Qin Ziling shook his head without even thinking.
"I knew you would answer like this, but the hatred among this sect cannot be eliminated just like that. If you are merciful today and do not take advantage of the situation to uproot them, they will most likely attack you again when they have recovered!" said the Fire Dragon.
"If that day really comes, do you think they can still shake our Wuji Sect? When the opponent becomes so powerful that it is impossible to contend with, I'm afraid few people will remember that grudge." Qin Ziling said.
The fire dragon was slightly stunned, then patted his head with his dragon claws and said, "I forgot that you are a perverted fellow who is destined to become an unrivaled strongman. With these small sects, how can they cause any trouble?"
Qin Ziling smiled and said, "That being said, it's always right to be careful. Although I don't kill innocent people, I'm not the kind of person who will not care about being bullied by others."
"What are you going to do?" The fire dragon felt a chill inexplicably.
"Of course, it is to support a few puppets! In this way, not only can we avoid killing people in large numbers, we can continue to preserve their Taoist traditions, and change their minds, making them understand that this disaster was brought upon themselves, by Immortal Yuansui and You Shijin. In fact, many disciples of the five major sects already think so. Moreover, through this method, our Wuji Sect can secretly gain many powerful external forces." Qin Ziling said.
"I almost forgot that you are a ninth-rank immortal. Now, the elite immortals of these sects are either dead or escaped. The most powerful ones left are only eighth- or ninth-rank immortals. There is not even a half-rank immortal. It is very easy for you to control them and turn them into puppets!" The fire dragon slapped his head again.
Qin Ziling looked at the fire dragon and patted his head again, and he missed his teacher, Jian Bailou.
If he were there, he would have probably anticipated his thoughts long ago.
It’s lonely at the top and it’s hard to find a soulmate!
Qin Ziling sighed to himself.
…
Xuandu Peak.
Yue Huai and others saw Tai Shijun and others off, and then looked at the true immortals outside Jiuxuan Mountain from afar, all with complicated expressions.
After two sieges on Jiuxuan Sect , logically speaking, they must have wanted to kill them to vent their anger.
But in the two major battles, Jiuxuan Sect not only did not lose any troops, but won a great victory and made a lot of money. So even though they knew that these people were their enemies and they should hate them to the core, they couldn't hate them and even felt a little sorry for them.
After all, they have no say in many things and are helpless.
"Pick out four people with the highest cultivation level and status from each of the five major sects, and have them come into the mountain gate to see me." When Yue Huai was feeling complicated, Qin Ziling's voice rang in his ears.
Yue Huai bowed from afar in the direction of Xuansha Peak, then gave a few instructions to his second disciple Zhuang Qizhan, who quickly left as ordered.
"Immortal Zhuang, please be kind enough to say a few good words to your master for us. You know, in matters like this, we are just following orders and cannot say much." A seventh-rank immortal from the Siyou Sect recognized Zhuang Qizhang and had dealt with him several times. When he saw him come out, he bowed to him repeatedly.
Zhuang Qizhan couldn't help feeling deeply moved when he saw this seventh-rank true immortal, who used to put on airs in front of him by relying on the presence of a Taoist immortal in the Siyou Sect, but now not only called him an immortal but also bowed and begged him repeatedly.
"Protector Chai, I came here on the orders of my master. I want you to pick out four people with the highest cultivation level and status from each of your five major sects, and follow me into the mountain gate to discuss how to resolve the feud between our sects." Zhuang Qizhan suppressed the emotion in his heart and bowed.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Zhuang Qizhang in disbelief. Some people even couldn't hold back their tears.
Since representatives have been selected to go in for negotiations, it means that things are turning around.
Otherwise, with the current strength of the Jiuxuan Sect, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. They could just go directly to suppress them and destroy their sect.
It is precisely because they realized this that they returned to Jiuxuan Mountain, regardless of their dignity and lives.
There is no way to resist with force , we can only beg for mercy!
Soon, the five major sects each nominated four elders with the highest cultivation levels to enter Jiuxuan Mountain.
Speaking of it, the five major sects are also quite pitiful, especially the Nanbo Sect.
Originally, the Nanbo Sect was in a middle position among the five major sects. Not only did it have a Taoist immortal in charge, but it also had five or six ninth-grade true immortals and more than ten eighth-grade true immortals.
However, the Nanbo Sect was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, suffering successive casualties. Some elite soldiers were also lost when attacking the Lei Family. In addition, Hao Yuansong and his son were too arrogant and unpopular when they were alive. After today's battle, the elite True Immortals of the Nanbo Sect realized that the grudge between the Nanbo Sect and the Jiuxuan Sect was too deep and they could not escape, so most people fled from the battlefield.
Nowadays, the huge Nanbo Sect does not even have a ninth-grade true immortal. Even among the four elders with the highest cultivation, only two are eighth-grade true immortals, and the other two are only seventh-grade true immortals.
The situation of the Siyou Sect is slightly better, with only one more eighth-rank True Immortal, but still no ninth-rank True Immortal.
The other three major sects, Tianbao Sect, Yunwu Sect, and Xuanyu Sect, all have ninth-grade true immortals left, but there are only two at most.
After the twenty people were led into Jiuxuan Mountain, they did not go to Jiuxuan Palace on Xuandu Peak, but were taken to Xuansha Hall on Xuansha Peak.
As soon as you enter the main hall, the door of Xuansha Hall slowly closes.
The hall was empty, with a man in green sitting on the throne.
On both sides of the man in green sat Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran on one side, and Yue Huai and Jin Peng on the other side. They were the four .
The man in green was surrounded by a mysterious aura, and with the cultivation levels of these twenty people, they could not see through his true cultivation level at all.
The twenty leaders representing the five sects were horrified and their faces turned pale when they saw Qin Ziling sitting high on the throne while Yin Ranyue and others could only sit on his left and right.
At this moment, how could they not understand that the real mastermind behind the rapid rise of the Jiuxuan Sect was the man on the throne.
…
Twenty leaders representing the five sects soon walked out of Jiuxuan Mountain.
As soon as the elite True Immortals guarding outside saw them coming out, they immediately surrounded them.
"Elder Ni, what's the situation?"
"Elder Yin, how is it? How is it?"
“…”
Everyone asked.
“The Jiuxuan Sect is truly a benevolent and righteous sect. They took into consideration that we were instigated and coerced by evil people, and that it was not easy for our ancestors to build the sect, and it is not easy for us to practice. They were also worried that if they sent troops to destroy our sect, it would inevitably cause great suffering to the people. So, they finally decided to show kindness instead of killing and revenge.
It's just that they besieged Jiuxuan Sect for the second time. After all, we invaded first, and now we are defeated miserably . The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. They didn't destroy our sect and preserved our Taoism, but they had some conditions. As for what the conditions were, let's talk about it after we get back."
"That's right, the victor will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. As long as the mountain sect is not destroyed and the Taoist tradition passed down by our ancestors is preserved, any conditions are negotiable, all are negotiable!" When everyone heard that Jiuxuan Sect was really going to give them a way to live, the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and everyone nodded repeatedly with tears in their eyes.
