After being silent for a few breaths, He Yiming coughed softly and changed the topic without batting an eyelid. He said, "Brother Ai, I wonder what advice you have for summoning me this time."
It was only then that everyone returned to normal as if they had just woken up from a dream. The shock in their eyes had not faded away, but their expressions were already very natural.
They were all over 100 years old, and the ups and downs that they had experienced in their lives were far from what ordinary people could imagine. If it wasn't for the fact that this news was too shocking and almost pulled down a god-like expert in their hearts, they definitely wouldn't have revealed such an expression.
Ai Wenbin laughed out loud and answered, "Venerable One He, there's no need to give any advice. We've only agreed on a time to prepare to set off to the Life and Death Realm."
He Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Ai, when do you plan to set off?"
Ai Wenbin smiled bitterly and answered, "Everyone's still discussing, so there's no specific agenda yet."
He Yiming was surprised. "Do we need to discuss such a small matter?"
Ai Wenbin shook his head and explained, "According to our usual practice, we've always set off to the Life and Death Realm more than a month in advance. Now that there's still more than a month left, we should've set off already. But … "He hesitated for a while before he continued," For some reason, no one from the northern border has come this time, so we're discussing if we should still wait for them. "
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Is it the Colorful Ice Palace from the northern border's snowfield?"
"Yes. Even if no one from the Colorful Ice Palace has become a Venerable One, as long as someone from the northern border advances, they'll basically head to the Ice Palace and ask them to lead the way to our sect."
He Yiming nodded slightly. Although Ai Wenbin's words were simple, He Yiming could tell from these words just how much prestige and authority the Seven-colored Ice Palace had in the northern border.
Ai Wenbin looked at everyone in the room and said, "We were just discussing the fact that no one from the northern border has come so far. Everyone guessed that it's possible that no one from the northern border can become a Venerable One this time, so they won't come again."
He Yiming was slightly startled. He asked, "Brother Ai, have you ever encountered something like this before?"
Ai Wenbin nodded repeatedly and said, "Among the new experts who have gone to the Life and Death World in the past, other than the Great Shen Empire, our northwest and northern territories are often empty." He sighed and said enviously to Yu Mufei, "The Eastern Great Shen Land has many talents and experts. The number of Venerables they have is something that even the three of us combined cannot compare to. How enviable. "
Yu Mufei waved his hand and said modestly, "Brother Ai, your words are not pleasant to hear." He also sighed softly and said, "Actually, I envy the three of you the most."
His voice was filled with emotion as if it came from the bottom of his heart.
He Yiming pondered for a moment and immediately understood what he meant.
In terms of overall strength, even the number of Venerable Ones in the northwestern and northern territories was not as many as the Great Shen of the East. Having said that, the Great Shen Empire did not only have the imperial Yu family, but it was also divided into countless sects and forces.
Even the Spirit Wind Palace, which was known as the most powerful, was only one of them.
In comparison, the Heavenly Lake lineage, the Seven-colored Ice Palace, and the 30,000-feet Liuli Cave were all giant sects in their respective territories. They would definitely keep their word, and no force would dare to disobey them.
In the eyes of the people from the Yu family of the Great Shen Empire, such power and influence were so enviable.
He Yiming glanced at the Venerable Ones in the room and suddenly asked, "Brother Ai, have the people here entered the Crying Ghost Ridge before?"
Ai Wenbin hesitated for a moment before he answered, "Other than Yu Huiliang and the Qilian Twin Devils, most of the people became Venerable Ones in the Crying Ghost Ridge this time."
He Yiming nodded and did not say anything else.
How could the Venerable One realm be so easy to cross? Without the trip to the Crying Ghost Ridge, most of the people here would not have been able to successfully advance.
Jin Zhanzheng stood up and said in a clear voice, "Brother He, Brother He, do you think we should wait for the people from the northern border?"
He Yiming said without hesitation, "Of course we have to wait."
He blurted out these words without any consideration at all. It was not until he said it that he realized that he had fallen into Jin Zhanzheng's trap. This was because he had clearly expressed his attitude.
Jin Zhanzheng laughed out loud and said, "Everyone, look, even Brother He said that he wants to wait for our friends from the northern border to arrive. What other objections do you have?"
Some of the people in the room did not look too good. Some seemed to want to refute but when they looked at He Yiming and then at 108, who was following closely behind He Yiming with a cold face, those objections died in their stomachs. No one dared to blurt out anymore.
If someone stood out to object at this moment, it would most likely cause a chorus of agreement. Nonetheless, the problem was that none of these cunning fellows was willing to stand out on such an occasion.
Even Hao Xue, who had a grudge with He Yiming, did not want to do so.
In fact, 108 had the same expression yesterday. He did not pay attention to people he was not familiar with at all.
However, when everyone knew his strength, this unreasonable expression suddenly became the best interpretation of unfathomable. Everyone even secretly guessed whether there was a mystery behind his standing posture. Was he hinting something to everyone, or was he using his powerful strength to show his support for He Yiming?
In short, under the psychological effect, the more they looked, the more they felt that it was the same. They became more cautious and did not dare to speak out against He Yiming easily.
Seeing this, Ai Wenbin hurriedly stepped forward and struck while the iron was hot. "Everyone, whether we leave tomorrow or wait for another ten days or half a month, it's time to make a decision." He gently waved his hand and said, "I agree with Venerable He's opinion. After ten days or half a month, if the people from the northern border still do not arrive, then we will go to the Life and Death Realm. If there is anyone who disagrees, please raise your hand. "
Those who didn't agree were cursing in their hearts. You cunning old thing. Just now, you were smiling and saying that you wouldn't help either side. Now, you've made a 180-degree turn. You're too pretentious.
However, although they were cursing in their hearts, no one took the initiative to raise their hand.
Anyway, for them, it was not a big deal to be late for a few days.
Ai Wenbin smiled and said, "Well, since everyone agrees with this proposal, then we have decided to wait for another ten days. If no one from the northern border comes by then, then we will set off."
Jin Zhanzheng and other people who had always been on good terms with the northern border all smiled and nodded in agreement.
Li Jiangfeng slowly stood up, his loud voice resounding through the whole place. "Brother Ai, we don't mind waiting for a few more days, but I am afraid that the totem clan will take the best position. At that time, there will be disputes, and it will not be good."
Ai Wenbin slightly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, you can rest assured. Last year, the ancestor of our sect made an agreement with the Totem Saint Lord that no matter how many people there are, each side will take one side."
Li Jiangfeng's expression eased and said, "Since Lord Sakyamuni is personally involved in this matter, I naturally have no problem."
The expressions on everyone's faces became solemn at the same time. It seemed that the name "Sakyamuni" gave them great pressure, but it also made them excited.
Since this matter was resolved, everyone's expressions also relaxed, and they chatted casually.
This was a rare opportunity to gather with so many Venerables to discuss. If they were touched by a certain topic, then it would be a huge gain for their individual martial skills.
However, from time to time, there would always be people who would look in He Yiming's direction.
Of course, he understood that what these people really wanted to see was not him, but the stupefied 108, who looked serious and cold in everyone's eyes, but was actually in a daze.
Shaking his head slightly, he really did not know whether this celebrity benefit was a blessing or a curse.
Jin Zhanzheng came to his side. A few days ago, when they were traveling together, Jin Zhanzheng had also greeted 108 many times. The first few times, 108 ignored him. However, after a few times, he would also nod slightly.
In the past, Jin Zhanzheng might have thought that 108 was too arrogant and antisocial. Even a Great Venerable who had achieved the Five Qis Unification should not be so arrogant. At least, Chu Haozhou, who was also a Great Venerable like 108, was much more amiable.
Now, after knowing that Ou Yangming could actually defeat the Oracle, Jin Zhanzheng would no longer think so.
The fact that Ou Yangming could nod to him, a newly promoted Venerable One, was already giving him a lot of face.
Gently pulling He Yiming, Jin Zhanzheng whispered, "Did you see them fight?"
He Yiming was slightly stunned for a moment before he reacted. A look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry flashed in his eyes. A spar between 2 Great Venerables who had achieved the Five Qis Unification was actually a fight …
"Yes, I saw them fight with my own eyes," He Yiming said snappily.
Jin Zhanzheng chuckled and asked, "Brother, what did you see?" His eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism and regret.
He definitely did not dare to be enemies with powerhouses of that level at the moment, but when he thought about this spar, his heart was full of yearning.
He Yiming's face immediately became solemn. "Very strong — they're very strong. We still need to work hard."
Jin Zhanzheng thought for a while and nodded seriously.
The 2 brothers looked at each other and saw the burning fighting spirit and confidence in each other's eyes.
They were convinced that one day, they would be able to reach their boundary and become outstanding figures that all Venerable Ones would look up to.
They looked at each other and smiled. The look in their eyes slowly disappeared, but the seed had been buried deep in their hearts, waiting for the day it sprouted and grew.
He Yiming suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Jin, come to the Heavenly Lake."
Jin Zhanzheng was slightly stunned. He said inexplicably, "I'm at the Heavenly Lake."
He Yiming chuckled and said, "I mean, come to the Heavenly Lake and be our Heavenly Lake's guest Venerable One. How about that?"
PS: White Crane didn't plan to read the book reviews, but he took a glance.
He suddenly realized that some people didn't understand why White Crane's update was late.
'F * ck …'
Today was his daughter's kindergarten graduation ceremony. This was her first graduation (although it was kindergarten).
However, White Crane still woke up at 6 am and was busy the whole morning. After the ceremony, the class had a meal and he arrived home at 2 am.
It was already a blessing from the heavens to be able to edit the 5 chapters today. How could he deliberately chase after the update time?
Also, he wasn't able to edit the 2 chapters for tomorrow morning tonight, so the 2 chapters for tomorrow morning will be updated in the afternoon.
He hoped that no one would say that White Crane didn't explain it in advance! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
