"Ah ah … … are you guys treating my place as the nest of the demonic sects!" Levante hid in the basement of Thousand Treasures Restaurant, hugging his head as he screamed.
Pu Shilin also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. More and more demonic cultivators came into Thousand Treasures Restaurant every day. They took up almost sixty percent of the restaurant's occupants. There were even rumors that it was haunted, scaring the mortals away from it.
It couldn't be helped. Among all the large restaurants in the city, Thousand Treasures Restaurant was one of the few that didn't have any influence from the Imperial Court. Moreover, the service was good, and the price was moderate.
Levante was a person who was good at business, he purposely found several bands and performers from all over the world. Every day, there would be singers and dancers for the demonic cultivators to entertain. This was very much to Devil Son Ming's taste. He had always loved luxury, and every day, he would have three groups of singers and dancers perform in his courtyard.
The people from the Eastern Demon Sect and Sacred Black Sect were all here. When the other demonic sects saw this, they all chose to come here. Especially today, they were going to hold some Nine Dragons Banquet.
"Such a taboo. They aren't afraid of the Imperial Court, but what about my restaurant! "
Seeing this, Pu Shilin could only comfort him: "Don't panic, they did it anyways. You just need to pretend you don't know anything and provide the venue."
"What do you know!" Levante said with a pained expression: "My restaurant has always been targeted. If something like this happens again, will the Imperial Court not pursue it? I'm afraid the Imperial Court will use this as an excuse to take away my restaurant! "
"Then let the demonic cultivators outside block them. Later, find the people from the Imperial Guards." Suddenly, a wisp of cloud light appeared in the basement.
Seeing the hazy figure, Levante and Pu Shilin perked up: "Head Shopkeeper, you're here too?"
"En, the main reason the Eastern Demon Sect is hosting this meeting is to unify the demonic sects and elect the next emperor, to avoid internal strife within the demonic sects."
Ji Feichen chatted with the two as he sat in the garden behind Thousand Treasures Restaurant.
The Eastern Demon Sect had borrowed the garden to set up their base. Ji Feichen was in the Yin Ming School's camp. However, the Yin Ming School was nominally led by Luo Qingyi. Like the other disciples, he hid behind the scenes and even wore a cloak to hide his identity. After all, his identity as the so-called "Yellow Bloodline Secret Agent Sima" was purely fictitious. It was not convenient for him to show off in such an occasion.
Ji Feichen sized up the venue. The Eastern Demon Sect was hosting the Nine Dragons Banquet this time, and the other nine great clans were seated on two sides. On the left were Blood Sea, Western Barbarian Sect, Heaven Heart Demon Sect, White Lotus Pure Sect and Toad Palace. On the right were the Yin Ming School, the Brilliant Sun Demon Cult, the Six-armed Demon God Sect, and the Sacred Black Sect. However, there was another seat at the end of the right.
"Apart from the ten great forces of the Demon Sect, is there anyone else?"
Right now Wei Qingchen and Tongguan were sitting in the Western Devil Sect. Beside Tong Guan was the leader of the Heaven Heart Demon Sect. As for Tong Guan, she was also a female disciple of the Heaven Heart Demon Sect, but she did not appear in an official capacity. Below her was White Lotus Pure Sect's Madam Xuan Zhen and Toad Palace's Bingyue.
On the right side of the Yin Ming School's Luo Qingyi was Brilliant Sun Demon Cult's Yang Fei, a middle-aged man from the Six-armed Demon God Sect, and Demon Son Ming from the Sacred Black Sect.
It could not be helped, the Six-armed Demon God Sect's top disciple changed too quickly. Because of their cannibalism, they were constantly being watched by Qin Wu and the others from the Supreme Firmament Palace. In recent years, the Six-armed Demon God Sect alone took up a third of the Demon Suppression Tower.
"As expected, the Sea of Blood Sect is the slowest." Luo Qingyi sneered. "Why, you don't dare to show yourself after killing so many of us?"
"Haha …" Suddenly, hearty laughter came from the entrance. Song Shaoming brought Yuanchu Ping and the others in. "Everyone, I had tea with Lord Prime Minister not too long ago, and I was momentarily delayed. I hope everyone can atone … atone."
The atmosphere changed when Song Shaoming entered.
Disregarding everything else, just looking at the power that Song Shaoming had built in the Imperial Court over the years, it was not something that the other sects could compare to. He was extremely scheming, weaving a huge net in the Imperial Court, supporting the Crown Prince to suppress the hidden dragons chosen by the other sects, giving Luo Qingyi and the others a headache.
Not to mention his top strength among the younger generation of the Demon Sect. He was undoubtedly the number one of the Demon Sect.
Song Shaoming scanned the crowd, and his gaze landed on Tong Guan who was beside Wei Qingchen.
Tong Guan sat between the Western Demon Cult and the Sky Heart Demon Sect. He squinted his eyes. "Junior Sister, you look unfamiliar. You don't seem to show yourself often. But didn't you see her not long ago? "
"Not long ago, Senior Brother attacked my fellow disciple. I had no choice but to help. Please forgive me, Senior Brother. "
"Not a problem, not a problem." Song Shaoming raised his wine cup. "A cup of wine to forget the grudge. Junior Sister, let me toast you." He poured the wine, and the sparkling water droplets carried internal force, shooting towards Tong Guan like a sky full of silver beads.
Tong Guan's finger moved slightly, but he suddenly put it down again. Beside him, Wei Qingchen's body exploded with a domineering force, blocking all the water droplets like an invisible wall.
"Brother Song, this is the capital. Under the suppression of the Dragon Qi, spells cannot be used. Only physical strength can be preserved. Here, our Barbarian Sect has the advantage. "
"Is that so? Then you can try and see if your Barbarian Sect True Body can break my Blood Sea Secret Technique here. " Blood mist gushed out of Song Shaoming's body, and his eyes turned blood red. He used the Blood Sea Secret Technique to forcefully resist the pressure of the Dragon Qi, trying to fight Wei Qingchen with magic power.
"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side. Also, we have to give the host some face. " Ming Mozi knocked on the table, his tone dissatisfied. "If you want to fight, do it outside, not here!"
Luo Qingyi also smiled. "Yes, Senior Brothers, please don't be impatient. We didn't come to the Nine Dragons Banquet today to fight and kill. Junior Brother Jiao, why did you invite us here? Also, there's an empty seat on the right. Is there someone else? "
"There is someone else, but I told them that I would arrive a little later." Jiao Hai clapped his hands and ordered someone to carry a bronze wine jar.
There were eight divine dragons supporting the jar, and wine could be spat out from the dragon's mouth.
"This Nine Dragons Bronze Jar is said to be from the previous dynasty. I bought it a few days ago to serve my fellow Daoists. "
The wine spat out from the bronze jar was fragrant. It was the imperial wine of the previous dynasty. The maidservants served wine bottles to everyone. Ji Feichen looked at the jade wine in front of him and slowly sipped it.
The tense atmosphere eased. Jiao Hai clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. He laughed heartily. "We're all on the same side, there's no need to hide. Everyone understands that the Sea of Blood lineage supports the crown prince. "
"If I'm not wrong, the third prince should be from Yin Ming School, right?"
"Behind the fifth prince — Madam Xuan Zhen is supported by the White Lotus Pure Sect."
"The tenth prince is supported by the Heavenly Heart Sect."
"Speaking of which, we Essence Path have already infiltrated the imperial court and supported the four princes. But — "
Yang Fei continued, "But this way, our strength is too scattered, and it's easy for internal strife to occur. I heard that not long ago, there was a small disturbance in the capital? "
This referred to the matter of the Blood Sea eradicating the spies of the various sects. Yang Fei and the others came late and didn't know the inside story. They only knew that the Blood Sea was the first to act. Because of this, the Brilliant Sun Demon Cult worked together with the Eastern Demon Cult to promote this Nine Dragons Banquet in order to protect themselves.
Hearing this, Ji Feichen understood a little. He secretly told Luo Qingyi, "These sects that acted late are waiting for the best price! Think of a way to contact your sect and see what their attitude is. "
Yang Fei continued, "But isn't the purpose of everyone supporting the hidden dragon to compete with the Daoist sects in the near future? Now, it's not wise for us Essence Path to waste our strength. "
"That's right. It's not wise to hurt our own and delight our enemies." Ming Mozi was also on the side of the two sects. The sects acted late and couldn't support the hidden dragon. But taking the initiative to side with the other clans would make it seem like they were living under someone else's roof, and it would be difficult for them to fight for the right to speak. Secondly, they would be easily used as cannon fodder.
It would be better to gather everyone at this moment and wait for the best price to be offered. This way, it wouldn't be them asking to join, but Yin Ming School and the Blood Sea taking the initiative to recruit them.
Song Shaoming and Madam Xuanzhen quickly understood. Song Shaoming scanned the crowd. "Why, is this what everyone wants?"
Wei Qingchen looked at Tong Guan beside him. "I think the Tenth Prince is not bad. He's young and easier for us Essence Path to control. "
He invited Tong Guan with the intention of forming an alliance. After all, the Barbarian Sect didn't have many people on the court's side. It was better to choose a side to ally with.
The Yin Ming School and the Blood Sea were both powerful Holy Lands. The Barbarian Sect would just be icing on the cake. Therefore, only the White Lotus Pure Sect and the Sky Heart Demon Sect were suitable for an alliance. After some comparison, the Barbarian Sect leaned more toward the Sky Heart Demon Sect.
The Barbarian Sect was eager to express their stance, but the five clans didn't say anything. They sized up the Blood Sea and the Yin Ming School, making Luo Qingyi and Song Shaoming take the initiative to ask them to join them.
But Song Shaoming could make the decision for the Blood Sea. But Luo Qingyi needed to contact her sect, so the atmosphere became awkward again.
