"Then are we not going to let him come to the Ling Xiao Mountain?"
"That's impossible, what if he is really Meng Tian and we stop him from going to the Ling Xiao Mountain, wouldn't we be destroying the hope of humankind?"
Arguments were unavoidable in the Alliance, and in the face of the unknown, such arguments would often become more intense.
That was the case for the Human Alliance.
Meng Tian's appearance had given them hope. However, apart from hope, they were also filled with disbelief and doubt.
Although it was contradictory, that was human nature.
"I do have a suggestion." A voice broke through the clamor in the hall. Amidst the discussions, the voice was incomparably loud.
"Everyone, please keep quiet and listen to Deputy Commander Yan's suggestion." Dao Hun gestured for everyone to keep quiet after seeing the direction of the voice.
At the same time, a figure stood up from his chair and walked to the center of the hall. It was the former Prince of Western Liang, Yan Qianli.
"It's very simple. Since Meng Tian has appeared in the Holy Region and we won't be able to guess anything, why don't we send someone down the mountain to look for him? It would be best if we could find Meng Tian directly and confirm his identity. If not, we can set up a reception point at the foot of the mountain and wait for Meng Tian to arrive before confirming his identity." Yan Qianli did not keep them in suspense.
"Hmm, Old Man Yan's suggestion is not bad." The Heavenly Oasis Saint quickly agreed with Yan Qianli's suggestion.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi looked at each other and nodded to show their agreement with Yan Qianli's suggestion.
After all, receiving Meng Tian at the foot of the mountain also showed how much they valued Sagely Battle God Meng Tian. It was not a breach of etiquette and they could also prepare for some unknown variables.
"Hmm, I agree with Deputy Commander Yan's suggestion too." Dao Xin nodded in agreement after pondering for a while.
"I have a feeling that Meng Tian will not arrive at the Ling Xiao Mountain immediately, but …" Just as everyone agreed with Dao Xin's suggestion, a voice was heard.
Following that, a figure dressed in a luxurious black robe stood out. The expression on his face was extremely cold, but it wasn't as calm as a calm lake. Instead, it was a kind of coldness, like the coldness of an independent mountain peak.
It was Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu had already become the Deputy Hall Master of the Yin Yang Hall and was also the Second Deputy Commander of the Yin Yang Army. His position in the Human Alliance was not the highest, but it was not low either.
"Xiu, what do you think?" Dao Xin was evidently surprised when she heard this voice. That was because Yan Xiu rarely expressed his views and opinions ever since the Human Alliance was established.
However, this time, Yan Xiu took the initiative to speak up. Furthermore, when everyone agreed with Yan Qianli's suggestion, he raised a different opinion.
"Xiu 'er, do you have a different opinion?" Yan Qianli was also a little surprised.
"I feel that this seems to be a signal from Meng Tian." Yan Xiu took a glance at Yan Qianli and said after bowing respectfully.
"Signal?"
"What signal?"
When the crowd heard this, they all blinked their eyes. They did not understand what Yan Xiu meant.
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that Meng Tian is trying to convey something to us." Yan Xiu shook his head and said.
"This …" The surrounding crowd fell silent again.
Dao Xin, on the other hand, frowned slightly and picked up the teacup on the table. Then, she slowly brought it to her mouth and took a sip.
"Xiu, do you mean that Meng Tian purposely appeared in these three places so that we can cooperate with him?" After a while, Dao Xin's eyes lit up.
"Hmm." Yan Xiu nodded.
"I agree with you. If I'm not wrong, Meng Tian purposely appeared in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Fu Xi Valley and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain so that we can take this opportunity to attack these three places!" Dao Xin nodded after a moment of silence.
"Attack?"
"However, we have yet to confirm Meng Tian's identity, how can we follow his orders?"
"That's right. Furthermore, this is only a guess. If we act rashly and something happens, who will be responsible for the losses?"
When the surrounding people heard this, they raised their doubts.
"You are right. If we have Meng Tian's cooperation, we can indeed take down these three places quickly. However, we have yet to confirm Meng Tian's identity. We have to be careful. Although Meng Tian has sent us a signal, we still have to be careful!" Dao Xin said again.
"That's right, it's better to be careful!" Very quickly, Dao Xin's words were agreed upon by the surrounding people.
Dao Xin revealed an undetectable smile when she saw the looks of agreement around her. Then, she did not speak again.
That was because she had achieved her goal.
The establishment of the Human Alliance could indeed gather all the powers together. However, it could also easily lead to differences in opinions.
What Dao Xin wanted to do was very simple. She wanted to gather the opinions and build up the prestige of the alliance. Eventually, she wanted all the sects in the alliance to obey her orders unconditionally.
"Old man Mu, why do I feel like I am being led by the nose?" Mo Shanshi looked around and narrowed his eyes.
"Hmm, Dao Xin is indeed very good at winning over the hearts of the people. If nothing goes wrong, the sects in the alliance will trust her more than the two of us very soon. However … this is a critical moment and it is not suitable for us to have a conflict with Dao Xin. Let's just bear with it."
"Bear with it?"
"Do you have any better ideas?"
"Bullsh * t!" Mo Shanshi scoffed and did not say anything else. He continued to sit on the chair and listened to the discussions around him.
…
Five days later.
In the Great Swamp of the Holy Region.
"Young Empress, Meng Tian's tracks were discovered near the Seven Cloud Mountain at the west of the Holy Region!"
"Young Lord, urgent report, Meng Tian's tracks were discovered in the Broken Scar Valley at the south of the Holy Region, please give us instructions!"
"…"
One after another, urgent reports were sent to the Great Swamp from all directions and into Yun Qingwu's hands.
"What on earth is this Meng Tian doing? We have already discovered more than ten Meng Tians in the Holy Region! "Lin Yu cursed as he looked at the retreating soldiers.
"If I am not wrong, there should be more than ten of them." Yun Qingwu frowned and said.
"Hmm, I think so too. Can we give the order to attack the 'fake Meng Tian' now? We can't let them do whatever they want in the Holy Region, right? "
"We are not powerful enough." Yun Qingwu shook her head.
"Not powerful enough?"
"Yes, be it the Monster Race or the Demon Race, we are definitely outnumbered as compared to the humans," explained Yun Qingwu.
"What do you mean, Young Lord?"
"Meng Tian wants us to take action. Once we take action, there will definitely be chaos. I have used this plan on 'Fang Zhengzhi' once," said Yun Qingwu.
"I see, then … are we not going to take action?" Lin Yu seemed to have understood something but he still looked unwilling.
"I want to beat him at his own game!" After pondering for a long while, Yun Qingwu slowly poured a cup of cold tea into her mouth. After moistening her throat, she spat out the tea.
"Young Lord, are you trying to sow discord?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Since Meng Tian did not go to the Ling Xiao Mountain to meet up with the three sects, we can use Meng Tian's name to do this."
"Understood, I will make the arrangements now!"
"Hmm." Yun Qingwu nodded. She only stood up from the chair and walked to the window after Lin Yu walked out of the door.
The sky outside the window was still shrouded in grey mist. Even though it was daytime, the sunlight could not penetrate the mist and reach the center of the Great Swamp.
…
Great Xia Dynasty, Northern Mountain Village.
The bright and beautiful sunlight shone on the small village. Smears of faint gold enveloped the village like a robe of sunset, giving off a feeling of life.
In the courtyard of the Fang Family, Fang Zhengzhi, who was dressed in a blue robe, slowly opened his eyes. Then, he stretched lazily on his chair.
"Sleeping is still the best." Fang Zhengzhi licked his lips and picked up the melon that was placed in front of him. He threw a piece into his mouth and instantly, his mouth was filled with fragrance.
"You are awake?" A voice was heard from the room in the courtyard. Then, Wu Yuer, who was wearing a black dress, walked out of the room.
"Hmm, has Shan Yu woken up?" asked Fang Zhengzhi casually.
"Not yet, but the poison in her body has been eliminated. She should be able to wake up in a few days." As Wu Yuer spoke, she moved her head closer to Fang Zhengzhi and said, "I heard from the Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region that you bathed together with her?"
"God has eyes. Do you think I am the kind of person who would take advantage of others?" Fang Zhengzhi slapped his chest and said without hesitation.
"Actually, even if such things happen, I don't mind." Wu Yuer blinked her eyes and a mesmerizing warmth appeared on her face.
"Haha." Fang Zhengzhi chuckled and stood up from the chair. He quickly walked past Wu Yuer and entered the room.
Did she really think he was an idiot? How could he believe such words?
If a woman said she didn't mind, then she didn't mind? If there were people in this world who would believe such nonsense, then they would not be far from suffering.
Anyway …
Fang Zhengzhi would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
Furthermore, he had no choice. There were only two paths in front of him. One was to bathe, two was to bathe. What choice could he make?
"Zhengzhi, are you hungry?" As soon as he entered the room, Qin Xuelian came out from the kitchen with a bowl of piping hot eggs.
"Wow, such fragrant eggs? I am really hungry! "
"If you're hungry, quickly eat it while it's hot. Mother will bring another bowl for Yu 'er." After Qin Xue smiled, she went into the kitchen again and brought out another bowl of the same eggs. "Yuer, are you hungry? Do you want to come and eat mother's eggs?"
"Sure, Mother!" Wu Yuer heard Qin Xuelian's words and jumped into the room happily. Then, she blinked her eyes at Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.
He had told Qin Xuelian more than once not to let Wu Yuer call her mother. However, Qin Xuelian did not take it to heart.
Wu Yuer was even more despicable!
She actually called Qin Xuelian 'mother' so smoothly. She did not have the restraint and awareness that a lady from a prestigious family should have.
Of course, if she called him that many times, Fang Zhengzhi could not continue to 'complain' to Qin Xuelian. After all, Qin Xuelian would not listen.
This was a little awkward. He could only let nature take its course.
"Mother, I might have to leave for a while …" Fang Zhengzhi finished eating the eggs. Then, he whispered to Qin Xuelian, who was busy in the kitchen.
"Clang!" The sound of a wok falling to the ground was heard. Then, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from the kitchen.
When Wu Yuer saw this, she rolled her eyes at Fang Zhengzhi and quickly entered the kitchen. After a while, she helped Qin Xuelian out of the kitchen.
"Zhengzhi, Mother knows that you have your own things to do. But … but Mother really can't bear to leave …" Qin Xuelian's voice was a little sobbing.
"Mother, don't cry. It's not like I won't come back. Look, didn't I come back the last time I went out?" A sigh was heard from the house. Then, Fang Houde walked down from the house. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Wu Yuer and asked, "How long will you be gone this time?"
"I think …"
"Father, we will be back soon. Don't worry!" Wu Yuer interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's words and smiled brightly.
"Alright, then go. A man's ambition is to travel far and wide. I will not be a burden to you. Qingyi is here in the village, don't worry!" Fang Houde nodded when he heard this.
Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything else.
He really did not want to leave the Northern Mountain Village. If possible, he really wanted to stay by Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde's side until the two of them left.
However, he could not do it.
Although he had tried his best to squeeze out more time to accompany them in the Northern Mountain Village, there were some things that he had to do.
"When are we leaving?" Seeing that Fang Zhengzhi did not speak, Wu Yuer walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side and asked softly.
"Today." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Understood, I will go and prepare now."
"Okay." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He did not stop Wu Yuer from leaving. Instead, he turned around and walked into a small house.
