Just as Yu Yunlong expected, on the seventh day after they arrived at the Ice Mountain City, Qin Shan finally sent someone to invite Yu Yunlong to the banquet.
This time, Yu Yunlong didn't bring anyone but Zhang Zhen. The two of them sat on the deer carriage and went directly to the Ice Mountain Nation's palace. When Qin Shan was in the Ice Mountain Nation's palace, he set up a banquet to welcome Yu Yunlong.
Initially, Yu Yunlong thought that Qin Shan would invite the kings of the other kingdoms. He did not expect that he would be the only one who came.
Qin Shan was a man in his fifties, but he looked like he was in his thirties. He had black hair and no wrinkles on his face. He looked very imposing.
Qin Shan welcomed Yu Yunlong into the room. After they were seated, Qin Shan cupped his hands towards Yu Yunlong and said, "Emperor Yu, I'm really sorry. Because the other Emperors haven't arrived yet, I didn't discuss the alliance with you. I'm really sorry for neglecting you." Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "I'm really sorry.
Yu Yunlong smiled and said, "What are you talking about? If the other Kings didn't come, they would think that we're plotting something when they arrive. It wouldn't be good if they knew that there was a misunderstanding. Don't you think so?" While saying that, Yu Yunlong looked at Qin Shan with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Qin Shan's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Then he smiled and said, "Right, right. Come, let's have a drink. Consider this as my apology." After saying that, Qin Shan raised his wine glass and toasted Yu Yunlong. Although he felt that Yu Yunlong's words had a hidden meaning, he didn't think too much about it. After all, Yu Yunlong's men had been monitored by them for the past few days. It was impossible for them to find out anything. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of anything.
Yu Yunlong smiled and said, "What are you talking about? You're too polite. Come, let's have a drink!"
After the two drank the wine in their cups, Qin Shan looked at Yu Yunlong and smiled, "Speaking of which, we need to discuss the matter of the alliance. Emperor Yu, how do you think we should form the alliance this time? With just the strength of our Ice Ocean Continent, can we fight against Ghost Face? "
Yu Yunlong replied, "The alliance must be formed. Not only to fight against the Ghost Face Army, but also to deal with the people of the Tree Spirit Continent."
Qin Shan said in a low voice, "Lord of the Jade Nation, the people behind the Tree Spirit Continent are from the Spiritual World. Can we deal with them?"
Yu Yunlong replied, "No matter what, we have to face them. I know the people of the Tree Spirit World are behind the Tree Spirit Continent, but do you know what kind of life the people of the Tree Spirit Continent are living now? Perhaps you don't know, but I do. The people of the Tree Spirit Continent can't casually inquire about anything. Otherwise, they will be executed as traitors. It doesn't matter what kind of clan you are from. Moreover, the rulers of the Tree Spirit Continent are all mere figureheads. The Tree Spirit Continent is now under the control of the people of the Spirit Realm. In order to unify the Five Spirit Realms, they are willing to do anything. Our Ice Jade Country's rebellion is the best proof of this. In short, in my opinion, the people of the Spirit Realm don't treat us as humans. They treat us as slaves, lower class people. How can we surrender to them? If it were an ordinary person, surrendering to them wouldn't be a big deal. At most, they would just have a new ruler. But what about us? We are the Kings now. If we surrender in the future, what will we be? Will they still feel at ease letting us take care of our own country? They don't dare, they can't. Therefore, they will surely deal with us. Therefore, the other countries can surrender, but we, the Imperial Family, are not qualified to do so. If we surrender, we will die. "
Qin Shan had been quietly listening to Yu Yunlong's words. When he heard Yu Yunlong's last words, his expression couldn't help but change. Yu Yunlong's last words had indeed moved him. Others could surrender, but Monarchs like them couldn't. Others would only lose a ruler if they surrendered, but if they, the original rulers, surrendered, then what would they have left? Will the other side let them rule their own countries? That was impossible, so they absolutely could not surrender.
After thinking about this, Qin Shan couldn't help but knit his brows. Then he said, "Then do you think that we can deal with the Ghost Face and the Spirit Realm?"
Yu Yunlong replied, "No matter if it's possible or not, we have to go all out. The people of the Ghost Face aren't good people. I heard that they captured Snow Leopard City, and the place was filled with blood. As for the people of the Spiritual Realm, I think that they don't have the ability to deal with us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used such a method to deal with us. Moreover, I'm also wondering if the people of the Spiritual Realm can deal with the people of the Ghost Face. Everyone knows that the people of the Spiritual Realm have been staying in the Ruijin Continent all this time. If the people of the Spiritual Realm can deal with the people of the Ghost Face, then why didn't they attack the Ruijin Continent instead of the Ice-Ocean Continent? In my opinion, the people of the Spiritual Realm don't have the confidence to deal with the people of the Ghost Face. Therefore, they want to unify the five Spiritual Realms first before gathering all of their forces to deal with the Ghost Face."
"But if that's the case, can't we deal with the Ghost Face ourselves? Do we need them to take the lead? Do we need someone to take care of us? Moreover, the people from the Spirit Realm don't intend to go back. Think about it, if they're really important people in the Spirit Realm, why wouldn't they go back? The Spirit Realm is a Higher Realm, it's impossible for them to control only us. Even if the Demon God messes with us, what can he do? If the Demon God wants to take over the Spirit Realm, then he would have to ascend first. But I'm afraid that it won't be easy for him to ascend. Even if he can ascend, how strong can he be when he just arrived? I'm afraid that the Spirit Realm is already waiting for him up there. They'll just kill him. Even if they can't kill him, they'll just seal him up. In this case, do you think it's necessary for the Spirit Realm to send people down? "
"They can't. They can't send important people down here. That's why the people from the spiritual world don't have any status. They're the kind of people who have no hope of improving their strength, so they come down to the lower realms to retire. They might be servants in the upper realms, but in the upper realms, they're nobler than emperors. Furthermore, servants like them have had enough of the upper realms. How could they treat us well in the lower realms? So when they come to the Lower Realms, they usually treat us as lowly people, as servants. Why should we treat people like nobles? Why should we listen to them for everything? "
While listening to Yu Yunlong, Qin Shan's expression kept changing. He didn't think about this before, but now that Yu Yunlong said it, he felt that it made sense. If the Upper Realm really took the Demon God seriously, then they would've already sent experts down to destroy him when he was weak. They definitely wouldn't do what they're doing now.
After thinking about this, Qin Shan's eyes couldn't help but light up. He nodded and said, "Right, that makes sense. But I heard that some people in the Alliance want to surrender to the Spirit Realm. This isn't easy."
Yu Yunlong coldly snorted and said, "It's just some short-sighted people. Our Ice Jade Country has already prepared for war. I've already gathered all the adventurers in the country to form a new army. I don't believe that we can't stop their attack with just the few of us. Whether it's the Ghost Face Realm or the Spirit Realm, they don't have a lot of troops. As long as we don't make any mistakes and don't give them a chance, they wouldn't be able to do anything to us. Moreover, don't forget that the Ghost Face Realm and the Spirit Realm are enemies, they aren't friends. It's even more impossible for them to join forces. Therefore, it's almost impossible for us to be attacked by both groups at the same time."
Qin Shan's eyes were filled with prejudice. They had always thought that the Spirit Realm and the Ghost Face Realm were on the same side. But now, they suddenly realized that the hatred between the Ghost Face Realm and the Spirit Realm was even greater. It was impossible for the two groups to join forces. Therefore, they only need to face one enemy. Facing one enemy, they have nothing to be afraid of.
Yu Yunlong said in a deep voice, "Those people are from the upper realms. They might be stronger than us, but don't forget that they're not much stronger than us in the lower realms. Therefore, there's no need for us to be afraid of them. Taking care of them won't be a problem."
Qin Shan nodded and said, "Right. If we surrender, then we'll have nothing left. Rather than that, it's better to resist. Let's wait for two days. When the other Monarchs arrive, then we'll discuss this matter. You must not surrender." Qin Shan nodded and said, "Alright.
Yu Yunlong said in a deep voice, "That's right. We will never surrender. I don't care what other people think. Our Ice Jade Nation will never surrender. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we will never surrender."
"Hahaha, good. Emperor Yu's words are very good. Come, let's have another drink!" Then Qin Shan picked up his glass and gave a toast to Yu Yunlong.
After Yu Yunlong and Qin Shan drank a cup of wine, Yu Yunlong let out a long breath and said, "This time, I came here in a fit of anger. You all know about the Ice Jade Country's rebellion. The rebels were my sons. After this incident, my favorite son committed suicide while the other sons all ran away. As for those fellows, they didn't suffer any injuries. What enmity do I have with them? It's just that I didn't surrender to them in the beginning. But they actually used this method to deal with us. If those people revealed their identity and said that they wanted to form an alliance to deal with the Ghost Face Realm, then my Ice Jade Country would certainly send troops. After all, the Five Spirit Realms wouldn't be able to rest until the Ghost Face Realm is eliminated. But they didn't even deal with the Ghost Face Realm before using this method to deal with us.
