Hearing what Ling Xian said, everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.
He was right. Though the Taoism community was the weaker side and they were the ones initiating negotiations, they cannot be too hasty.
Or else they won't get the least bit of respect.
The plan now was to fight. Fight to show the Taoism community's determination and capabilities and make the other forces want to retreat.
Only then can they negotiate on equal footing and have the possibility of peace.
"Master Ling is right. I agree!"
"I agree! Only then will there be a possibility of stopping the war. "
"That's right. If we wait to negotiate, the Immortal World will think we are afraid. Even if we negotiate, we won't get the result we want!"
Everyone chimed in and supported Ling Xian's decision.
The leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites nodded. His murky eyes flickered with killer's intent, "You are right. At the very least, we should kill the invaders. Or else we won't get the respect we deserve."
"Then let's do it."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "Let's kill the invaders like thunder and announce to the Immortal World that the Taoism community is not to be bullied."
At those words, everyone responded in unison.
Then, Ling Xian led them out of the Wan Jian House and arrived at the nearest battlefield.
Without wasting time and without hesitation, more than 20 cultivators made their moves and killed all the invaders!
The reason why the Taoism community was at a disadvantage was because for one, they didn't have enough resources and there were far too few cultivators. For two, everyone was cleaning up after themselves and their strength was too spread out.
Today, under Ling Xian's leadership, more than 20 cultivators of the Dao Integration Realm worked together. Their explosiveness was without a doubt, shocking.
At the very least, not a single invading army could stop them!
Therefore, everyone was winning all the way. Like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, they won without any suspense!
After all, these were more than 20 cultivators of the Dao Integration Realm. In the entire Immortal World, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Under everyone's thunderous attacks, the invading forces could not stop them at all. Within a few short days, they were all wiped out.
For one, their strength was spread out and everyone was fighting for themselves. For two, they didn't use any real powerhouses.
Naturally, the other forces were furious at this. But after seeing the Taoism community's determination, they all wanted to retreat.
At the end of the day, this was not a war of life and death between the two worlds. It was just a war of independence between the major forces for territory and resources.
They had two goals, one was to fight for territory, and the other was to enslave the Immortal Cultivation World. However, no matter which goal it was, their determination was not firm. They were not like the Immortal Cultivation World that had been invaded. If they did not unite, they would only end up being enslaved.
Moreover, there were many forces that didn't want to get involved in this mess.
If they couldn't even make up their minds, how could those invading forces unite? How could the major powers, which were unable to join forces, resist the desperate counterattacks of over twenty Dao Integration Stage mighty figures?
The answer was undoubtedly no.
Though the top forces of the Timeless World have a lot of resources and many powerhouses, one, they were not determined, and two, they could not form an alliance. Naturally, they could not defend against Ling Xian's attack.
Therefore, all the major forces in the Immortal World had the idea of retreating. However, they didn't want to go back with their faces covered in dirt. At the very least, they wanted to get some of the benefits.
Under such circumstances, negotiations were a matter of course.
With Xiang Ninedust acting as the go-between, the invading forces were able to gather together. The negotiations would take place at the border between the two realms, and the time would be three days from now.
After hearing this news, Ling Xian and everyone sighed in relief.
Their original goal was to negotiate. The reason why they attacked so aggressively was because they wanted to show respect. At the very least, they couldn't appear too weak.
Or else they would be at a disadvantage during the negotiations.
Since the invading forces were proposing to negotiate, it meant that they wanted to live in peace and merely wanted some benefits.
"That is good news. After all, with our current situation, we have no choice but to negotiate."
Ling Xian stood on top of a mountain peak. The light of the setting sun shone on his bloodied silhouette, making him look even more demonic.
"I hope those forces' demands aren't too outrageous." The leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites sighed helplessly.
Everyone else felt the same way.
Though they had gained respect by slaughtering, they knew very well of the Taoism community's capabilities. If they forced the Immortal World to form an alliance, then the Taoism community would have no chance of winning.
What could they do? The Taoism community had been declining for thousands of years and could not compare to the Immortal World.
The reason why they had the right to negotiate was because half of the forces from the Immortal World didn't make a move and the rest were not united.
"I don't think so. These days, we have killed seven sixth leveled cultivators. Those forces have been greatly weakened. As long as they don't have the determination to fight us to the death, they won't dare to cross the line."
Ling Xian shook his head, "I don't believe those forces have the determination. They are not standing on the edge of a cliff. We, on the other hand, have been forced into a hopeless situation."
"That's right. If worst comes to worst, we will fight them to the death. I cannot let my children and grandchildren live under slavery." Shen Chun Qiu was full of killer's intent.
"It's not that serious. Let's wait patiently. I believe that this negotiation will have a good result."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and sat down in a lotus position. He didn't speak anymore.
However, he was thinking to himself.
Though he had gotten the result he expected, he could not let his guard down. Since the beginning of time, negotiations have always been wars without smoke.
The Taoism community was already at a disadvantage. If they continue to be careless, then they won't be able to fight for the benefits they deserve.
"Though I have shown those forces my determination and I have gained their respect, the process won't be smooth. It will still be a tiger's den."
Silently sighing, Ling Xian's gaze turned determined.
No matter what, even if it was a tiger's den, he had to fight for a good result for the Taoism community!
Then, he let go of this and thought about the root cause of everything that happened.
The merging of the two worlds.
In the end, if the two worlds didn't merge, so many things wouldn't have happened. No matter how he looked at it, these things were weakening the capabilities of the two worlds.
This made Ling Xian even more certain that the merging of the two worlds was a trap. There must be someone behind it.
"Is it the mysterious person? If it's him, then what he said about hell has come true. "
Ling Xian silently sighed. If it really was the mysterious person, then what was his identity? What was his goal?
What good does destroying the two worlds do for him?
Many questions circled around his brain. Ling Xian felt like he was covered in fog and his mind was a mess. He couldn't figure out what was going on.
This made him sigh again and again. It made him even more determined to increase his capabilities. But right now, he had to get through this obstacle before him.
"I'm not thinking about it anymore. One day, I will peel away the fog and see everything clearly."
Ling Xian calmed himself down and guided the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth into his body. He adjusted his condition.
Three days later, he opened his eyes. They were shining brightly like the Sun.
"Time's up. Let's go. Let us enter the tiger's den and fight for the Taoism community!"
Ling Xian's expression was determined. The Winged Blitz sliced across the sky and led everyone to the border.
