"I will make it clear. If you don't agree to these three conditions, then don't even think about leaving this place today."
Ling Xian spoke aggressively. What he said shocked everyone and made the people from the Immortal World's face turn extremely ugly.
What was this?
A threat, a naked threat!
This infuriated the crowd, but it also made them helpless.
Ling Xian was right. For one, they didn't have the determination to fight to the death. For two, they didn't have the capability to start a war against the Taoism community.
If they start a war, there was an 80% chance that they would die here. Therefore, they had nothing to say.
"Young man, you are forcing me."
The elder's expression was dark as he said, "Other than the first condition, I can agree to the other two. This is the biggest compromise I can make."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
Out of these three conditions, the first one was the most important. The Taoism community's land cannot fall into the hands of the Immortal World. Or else there will be conflicts in the future.
Therefore, he extended his right hand and uttered out a statement that infuriated the elder.
"Then there is nothing more to say. Let's start a war."
At those words, the elder's expression darkened. If he didn't have a sliver of rationality left in him, he would've made a move already.
But this sliver of rationality told him that he must not make a move!
Because he wasn't representing himself, he was representing the 13 forces. If he makes a move, at least half of the people here will die.
Therefore, even though he was seething with anger, he had to endure it!
Everyone else did the same.
The leader of the Feng Clan and Xuanyuan Zhan had lost their ability to fight. Even if the remaining people had the determination to fight to the death, they may not be able to stop the Taoism community.
Because the Taoism community had Ling Xian, this monster.
His battling abilities were enough to kill all the cultivators in the beginning stage of the Dao Integration Realm. He could also delay at least three cultivators in the intermediate stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
Therefore, the two sides were unevenly matched. As long as the Taoism community could delay the two cultivators in the advanced stage of the Dao Integration Realm, the rest would be slaughtered by Ling Xian.
What could they do? His battling abilities were far too powerful. Normal cultivators in the intermediate stage of the Dao Integration Realm were no opponents of his.
"Silence represents agreement, yet you are not agreeing."
Ling Xian's cold gaze scanned around and finally landed on the elder, "My patience is limited. It's best if you make a decision before it wears out."
"You!"
The old man was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it. To be honest, these three conditions are not excessive. My Zhou Clan agrees."
"Ah, my Ming family also admits defeat."
"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sent troops to attack."
Everyone agreed to Ling Xian's conditions.
They had no choice but to agree. The situation was right there. If they didn't agree, they wouldn't even have the chance to return alive.
Therefore, they could only swallow their anger and agree.
"You!"
The old man was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only flick his sleeves and return to the crowd.
At this, Ling Xian smiled.
He knew that these people only agreed because of the situation, but it didn't matter. As long as they agreed, everything would be fine.
"Since you've agreed, then swear a Heavenly Law Oath to guarantee that your faction will strictly abide by these three conditions."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He was not arrogant, but in everyone's eyes, he was the pride of a victor.
Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do.
If they don't swear a Heavenly Law Oath, Ling Xian will not let this go. The end result for them will still be death.
Therefore, the representatives of the various forces all spoke out, stating that their own forces will abide by the three conditions and will not go back on their words.
Very quickly, the representatives of the 13 forces all swore a Heavenly Law Oath. Then, they hung their heads low and their faces were full of bitterness.
The first condition was to return the land they conquered, which meant all their efforts were for nothing. The second condition was to compensate them with 100 million spiritual stones. This was the same as trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.
The third condition was that they cannot start a war because of the dead members of their clan. This stopped the possibility of them trying to get back at them.
With the three conditions added together, the thirteen forces had suffered a double loss.
Therefore, they naturally hung their heads low and felt bitter.
The people from the Taoism community, on the other hand, were ecstatic. They all cheered loudly and were full of satisfaction.
Originally, they were expecting a ceasefire. After all, the overall capability of the Taoism community was far too weak and they couldn't afford to waste time.
However, not only did they stop fighting, but the 13 forces also gave up their land and paid 100 million spiritual stones as compensation. This far exceeded their expectations.
Therefore, everyone was ecstatic. All of this was thanks to Ling Xian.
If he hadn't taken the initiative and defeated the Feng Clan Master and Xuanyuan Zhan, the cultivation world would have been at a disadvantage.
If he didn't take advantage of the fact that the 13 forces didn't want to fight to the death, they wouldn't have achieved such a glorious victory.
Now, they no longer had to worry about the 13 forces invading the Taoism community.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Ling Xian exhaled a long sigh of relief. He was very happy.
Although it was impossible for those who were killed to come back to life, he was still seeking justice for those people and fighting for peace for the Immortal Cultivation World.
This made him very happy. He felt like he didn't work for nothing.
"This old man will remember what happened today. You better be careful." That old man spoke sinisterly, his voice full of threat.
Ling Xian dismissed this with a smile.
In today's strange battle, he was the winner. There was no need for him to lower himself to the same level as the loser.
Seeing that Ling Xian didn't speak, the elder was infuriated. He felt like Ling Xian's smile was full of sarcasm.
Yet, he had nothing to say.
This feeling of being wronged was making his lungs explode.
"What happened today ends here. I hope everyone can keep their oaths."
Ling Xian grinned, "It's okay if you don't. God will send down a God's Trial anyway."
Hearing this, everyone's face turned into the color of pig liver. They shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
They had made their oaths to the Heavens and they weren't the ones who escaped their oaths. There was no way for them to go back on their words.
"Within 10 days, deliver 100 million spiritual stones to the Wan Jian House. Or else, suffer the consequences."
Speaking softly, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards the leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites and smiled, "Everything has been settled. Let us go."
Then, he opened his Winged Blitz and flew towards the Wan Jian House.
Everyone followed closely behind him.
This made the 13 forces clench their teeth in hatred. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only sigh bitterly.
…..
After 10 days, the 13 forces all delivered 100 million spiritual stones to the Wan Jian House. They also recalled their descendants back to the Realm of Immortality.
This meant everything had ended. The Taoism community that had been ravaged by the war had finally regained its peace.
After receiving the spiritual stones, Ling Xian found the descendants of the destroyed forces and gave them the stones. He also used his own name to threaten the entire Taoism community to not covet their land.
This made the survivors extremely grateful. At once, Ling Xian's name once again echoed throughout the Taoism community.
At the same time, his name spread throughout the Realm of Immortality. He became famous overnight.
