The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
At the border of the two worlds, Ling Xian's white robe was dyed with blood. He stood with his hands behind his back and suppressed everyone like a God.
He glanced over all the representatives and said in a low voice, "The goal of this negotiation is for the two worlds to coexist peacefully. Now, I will first state the wishes of the Taoism community."
"First, I hope you all recall your people back to the Immortal Realm and do not take over the Taoism community's land."
"Second, each of the 13 forces will take out 100 million spiritual stones as compensation."
"Third, everything ends here. Do not start a fight because your people died in battle."
Ling Xian continued to speak and stated three conditions.
At this, the leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites remained silent. His demands were meaningless.
This shocked everyone from the Immortal Realm. They didn't think Ling Xian would be the leader of this negotiation.
They saw very clearly that there were two powerhouses of the advanced stage of the Blending Path in the group. Therefore, they thought those two would be the leaders. They didn't think Ling Xian would be the leader.
However, being surprised was just being surprised. They could not agree to Ling Xian's conditions.
Immediately, a series of rebuttals arose and echoed around.
"Impossible! Why would we return the land we conquered? "
"Exactly, you want compensation? You are dreaming! "
"So many people from the Zhou Clan died. Why do we have to remain silent? What a joke! "
Everyone chimed in and rejected all three of Ling Xian's conditions.
This made him frown. He glanced around and said softly, "I want to know, who is the leader of the Immortal Realm? Tell him to come out and talk to me. The rest of you, shut up and stop buzzing around my ears. "
At those words, everyone was enraged.
However, remembering how Ling Xian suppressed the leader of the Feng Clan, most of them swallowed their anger.
"Then allow this old man to talk to you."
An elder walked out of the crowd. He had white hair and a healthy complexion. Holding onto a dragon head cane, he gave off the vibe of an immortal.
Seeing this person walk out, the other representatives didn't object. It was obvious that this person was highly respected.
"Very well, please speak your mind."
Ling Xian glared at him. Though he sensed that this person was at the advanced stage of the Dao Integration Realm, his expression remained calm and collected.
"Not bad, young man. He is not inferior to the peerless monstrous geniuses of my Eternal World."
The elder's eyes flashed with admiration. Then, his expression turned cold and he uttered out two words.
"No."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, "Please understand one thing. You are the invaders. I don't think these three conditions are unreasonable."
"It's indeed not too much."
The old man nodded and said, "However, you must also understand one thing. Our thirteen forces are not the ones who lost the battle."
"So what you're saying is that the World of Cultivators has been defeated?"
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. He knew that the elder wasn't referring to the defeat of the Taoism community. He was referring to the fact that the Taoism community was not as capable as the 13 Clans.
"Isn't it?"
The elder said softly, "You and I both know very well that if the 13 Clans unite, the Taoism Community has no chance of winning. Therefore, you better back off."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
He knew that the elder was right. If the 13 Clans unite, they could kill all the sixth leveled cultivators. But, could they really unite?
Ling Xian was skeptical. Even if they could unite, that was something for the future. But right now, he was confident that he could kill everyone before him.
When that happens, even if they truly unite, would the 13 Clans still pose a threat to the Taoism community after losing more than 20 Melded Daos?
Therefore, Ling Xian smiled. He revealed his white teeth and said, "I hope you recognize two things."
"First, the 13 Clans have not been forced into a dead end and do not have the determination to fight us to the death."
"Second, compare the capabilities of the two sides. It's not that I am arrogant, but I think I alone can stall at least three Melded Daos of the intermediate stage."
Ling Xian continued to speak. Every time he spoke, the elder's face darkened.
Everyone else reacted the same way.
This was all because he was right. They truly did not have the determination to fight the Taoism community to the death.
The second point was not wrong either. They had two Melded Daos on their side and the Taoism community had two as well.
The difference between the Melded Daos in the intermediate stage and the Taoism community was the same.
The only difference was Ling Xian.
Everyone had witnessed his capabilities. If he could stall three Melded Daos, then the balance of victory would, without a doubt, tilt in the Taoism community's favor.
If they left him alone, then he would go and slaughter those Melded Daos. With his capabilities, even if all the Melded Daos worked together, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
In other words, once the negotiations break down, the Taoism community has the ability to keep these people here. Even if they could escape, only a few would.
Because in the Taoism community, there was Ling Xian, the demon. He alone was the key to the victory or defeat of this battle!
Once these people die here, then even if the 13 Clans were determined, they wouldn't have the capability to stop them.
Therefore, everyone from the Immortal World's expression darkened and they had nothing to say.
"It seems like you have recognized the situation."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he smiled brightly. Then, he flapped around his sleeve and multiple arrays appeared, locking down the area.
This caused the complexion of everyone in the Eternal World to change, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Don't be nervous. This is just a small precautionary measure."
Ling Xian's smile turned even brighter. He glanced around and finally, his gaze landed on the elder.
"I believe you know that I am right. So, I hope you will reconsider."
"That may not be the case."
The elder's face was green as he suppressed his anger, "You truly are stunning. But let me warn you, don't be too arrogant."
"I am not being arrogant, I am stating the truth."
Ling Xian rebutted, "These three conditions are not unreasonable. If you don't agree, then you are forcing the Taoism community into a dead end. You know very well what people who are forced into a dead end will do. "
At that, the leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites stepped forward, using his actions to express his attitude.
At this, everyone else stepped forward as well. The atmosphere was getting more and more tense.
Everyone from the Immortal World's expression darkened as well.
"Young man, don't cross the line." The elder's anger was boiling and his tone was cold.
"I cross the line?"
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold, "The 13 Clans invaded the Taoism community and left corpses everywhere you went. Who is the one crossing the line?"
"You!"
The elder was enraged but had nothing to say.
"I urge you to think clearly about whether or not you have the determination to start a war against us and whether or not you have the capability to do so!"
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as he glanced around at everyone from the Immortal World. Then, he uttered out a statement that was full of dominance.
"I will make it clear. If you don't agree to these three conditions, then don't even think about leaving this place today."
