The nine provinces consisted of the Heaven Plane, Ding Plane, Green Plane, Thunder Plane, War Plane, Cloud Plane, Mist Plane, Serene Plane, and Cang Plane.
The Green Plane and Mist Plane were under the complete control of the Grand Heaven alliance, while the Cloud Plane and Thunder Plane belonged to the Myriad Demon Ridge. As for the remaining five provinces, the sects of the two great factions stood side by side. There was no clear right of ownership. Occasionally, the east would prevail over the west, and at other times, the west would prevail over the east. They were territories that the two sides fought over.
The Myriad Demon Ridge had mentioned the peace talks, so the location was obviously chosen by the Grand Heaven alliance.
There was a continuous mountain range where the Green Plane and Cloud Plane intersected. The mountain range was like a huge dragon that stretched across the ground. It rose and fell, separating the two planes.
Crouching Dragon mountain was where the Grand Heaven alliance had chosen to hold the talks.
When the sect master and Pang Zhen arrived at the agreed upon location, there were already over a dozen people waiting there.
They were all Divine Sea realm cultivators, and they were all among the peak of the Divine Sea realm.
Unlike what an ordinary person imagined, not only did these 10 plus top experts from both sides not come into conflict with each other, they were even chatting happily with each other.
If someone who did not know better saw this, they would probably think they were all from the same faction.
Did they have no grievances with each other?
Obviously not. Every single one of them had slaughtered their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had already lost count of the lives they had taken.
This was because everyone knew that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to resolve the conflict on the Spirit Stream battlefield. It was impossible for them to fight. Since they could not fight, why did they have to be so cold?
Only when the two people from the War Plane arrived did everyone stop chatting and laughing.
"We're late." Pang Zhen clasped his fist. Actually, he and the sect master had not been slow. It was the people from the other planes who had arrived too quickly.
This was more than enough to demonstrate how eager the Myriad Demon Ridge was to negotiate.
The leader of the Myriad Demon Ridge was an old man with a waxy complexion. He said, "Since everyone's here, let's begin."
No one had any objections.
Pang Zhen immediately flicked a jade slip towards the old man.
There was nothing else in the jade slip, only the various requests from the Grand Heaven alliance. This was what he had discussed with the Divine Sea realm cultivators of the various provinces on the way here.
There was no problem with the Myriad Demon Ridge wanting to negotiate. The situation was in a stalemate right now. The Grand Heaven alliance did not want the little fellows in the Spirit Stream battlefield to get into a fight. However, the Myriad Demon Ridge was the one being attacked, so they definitely had to pay a price.
The old man reached out and caught the jade slip before scanning it with his Divine Sense. Then, he expressionlessly passed it to the person next to him.
Grand Heaven Divine Sea realm cultivators of the Myriad Demon Ridge all had different expressions of the Divine Sea realm cultivators.
The Grand Heaven alliance, the Heaven, the Grand Heaven alliance's alliance was, and the Grand Heaven alliance.
They had already expected that Grand Heaven Alliance's price would not be too low, but they had underestimated Grand Heaven Alliance's determination to rip them off. The conditions in the jade slip had already exceeded their psychological limit. They could not agree to it at all.
It should be known that the Grand Heaven Alliance was not only asking for compensation in terms of resources, but they were also taking the opportunity to ask for half of the province.
...... a.... that.................. by Heaven...
. The price was too high, so high that it was not sincere at all.
Pang Zhen chuckled. "If you are not satisfied, we can talk slowly."
"We can talk slowly, but the little fellows in the Spirit Stream battlefield can't be slow. They are all young and vigorous. If they fight impulsively, many of them will die." The Grand Heaven elder said. He used his Divine Sea and gave the jade slip back. "This is the sincerity of the Myriad Demon Ridge. If the Grand Heaven alliance thinks it is enough, we can stop here."
Pang Zhen took back the jade slip. He checked it and shook his head. "I don't see any sincerity."
He gave the jade slip to the chief. The chief waved his hand and said, "I am old. I don't want to read it. You can discuss."
Lu Ye was the one who caused this. No matter how much the Myriad Demon Ridge would pay, the Grand Heaven Alliance would not lose out to the Jade Blood Sect. The chief didn't want to worry about it.
The jade slip passed through the hands of the Divine Sea Realm cultivators of the Grand Heaven Alliance. When it was returned to Pang Zhen, there was more content in the jade slip. Pang Zhen checked it and added some more.
Just like that, the small jade slip passed through the hands of the Divine Sea Realm cultivators. The content was added and subtracted, but they couldn't reach a consensus.
The Divine Sea Realm cultivator of the Myriad Demon Ridge said that they couldn't be slow, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry when he was negotiating with the Grand Heaven Alliance. He checked every line carefully and deleted them.
After half a day, when the jade slip was returned to him, he helplessly found that the content of the jade slip was not much different from when Pang Zhen gave it to him the first time.
He couldn't help but look up at Pang Zhen. Pang Zhen was smiling.
"Pang Zhen, the Grand Heaven Alliance should show some sincerity."
"Then it depends on you."
One side asked for too much, and the other side asked for too much. It would be strange if they could reach a consensus.
The sect master looked down and closed his eyes to rest. He faintly felt that this matter would take at least half a month to reach a conclusion.
As for the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there was no need to worry. With the Wei River as a barrier, neither side dared to make the first move. Moreover, those little fellows were waiting for the results of the negotiations.
While the Divine Sea Realm cultivators were haggling over every detail, the cultivators of the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect had arrived at the Cloud Smoke Sect's encampment and started to attack the formation.
The cultivators of the Cloud Smoke Sect were helpless.
Ever since the Sky Pillar Sect was crippled, they had been bullied like this. Every now and then, the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect would do the same.
It could be said that the Cloud Smoke Sect was used to it. Other than the people who were taking care of the formation, the other cultivators of the Cloud Smoke Sect were still doing what they were supposed to do.
After all, it was impossible for the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect to break the formation. At most, the Cloud Smoke Sect would lose some spirit stones.
Then, the Cloud Smoke Sect's guardian who was in charge of controlling the formation saw a familiar young man walk out of the crowd with more than thirty people beside him.
He didn't react until the group of people led by the young man took out the formation flag.
"Sect Exterminating Leaf!" The guardian's face turned pale and his voice trembled.
His mind went blank and he almost thought that he was seeing things. It was rumored that the Sect Exterminating Leaf and the Grand Sky Alliance's army were facing off against the twenty thousand cultivators of the Myriad Devil Mountain at the Wei River.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for this person to appear here.
However, if he didn't care about the merit points and used the Heavenly Fate Pillar to teleport, he could go anywhere in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Did that Sect Exterminating Leaf lack merit points?
Of course not. Who knew how many cultivators of the Myriad Devil Mountain had died at his hands? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called the Sect Exterminating Leaf.
"Retreat to the Nine Provinces!"
The Cloud Smoke Sect's guardian only needed a moment to figure out what had happened. He immediately ordered his sect's cultivators to retreat to the Nine Provinces.
However, the Cloud Smoke Sect's cultivators didn't gather together. They were used to the attacks of the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect, so they didn't take this attack seriously. As a result, the Cloud Smoke Sect's cultivators were scattered all over the place.
By the time everyone received the order, they had already missed the best time to retreat.
The formation was broken, and the cultivators of the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect swarmed in. Lu Ye and Giant Armor led the way. In an instant, the Cloud Smoke Sect's base was covered in blood.
After taking over the Yunyan Order's base, Lu Ye immediately entered the Tianji Hall to steal the blessing from the Tianji Pillar. After taking his share, he didn't wait for Luo Fu and the others to finish cleaning up the battlefield. He flew up with Giant Armor and disappeared in a flash of light.
Luo Fu's shout rang out: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
Lu Ye didn't wait for Luo Fu because he was running out of time.
The Divine Ocean Realm cultivators of the two factions had already started to negotiate, and it wouldn't be long before the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators gave orders. Lu Ye had to conquer more forces of the Myriad Devil Ridge before the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators made a decision. On one hand, he wanted to earn merits, and on the other hand, he could increase his bargaining chip in the negotiation.
While the Silver Light Island and the Fahua Sect were attacking the Cloud Smoke Sect's base, the two nearby forces of the Haotian Alliance had gathered enough people and were rushing toward the base of another force of the Myriad Devil Ridge.
When Lu Ye arrived, he could cooperate with them to break the sect's defensive formation.
On the Spirit Peak of the Crouching Dragon Mountain.
The Spirit Sea Realm cultivators were still discussing, but the atmosphere was no longer as peaceful as before. Although they didn't quarrel for the sake of their reputation, sarcastic words kept coming out of their mouths.
Until one moment, the elder of the Myriad Devil Ridge suddenly received a message. He checked it with his mind and calmly handed the jade slip to Pang Zhen. "This is the bottom line of the Myriad Devil Ridge. If the Haotian Alliance thinks it's okay, then sign the Heavenly Secret Contract."
Pang Zhen took the jade slip and checked it. He was slightly surprised because the Myriad Devil Ridge had shown a lot of sincerity this time. The conditions in the jade slip hadn't been reduced by much. This result was better than he had expected.
Negotiation was like doing business. One side raised the price, and the other side paid the price. Then, they would slowly come up with a result that was acceptable to both sides.
The previous negotiation obviously didn't go well, but the Myriad Devil Ridge suddenly took a big step back …
There must be something wrong if something was out of the ordinary. Pang Zhen was an experienced man, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. There must be a reason for the Myriad Devil Ridge to make such a decision, but he didn't know what the reason was.
Lu Ye's eyes flashed. He handed the jade slip to the Sect Leader. "Elder Tang, take a look."
The Sect Leader, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He had already stated that he wouldn't participate in this negotiation, but Pang Zhen asked him to take a look at the contents of the jade slip. Obviously, something unexpected had happened.
The Sect Leader took the jade slip and checked it. He was also surprised because the Myriad Devil Ridge really took a big step back this time.
The Sect Leader raised his head and looked at the elder of the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Pang Zhen also looked at him.
The elder's eyes twitched. He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said bluntly, "The Cloud Smoke Sect's base has been occupied. Now, the Miluo Sect's base is … Well, just now, the Miluo Sect's base was also occupied."
He turned to look at the Sect Leader. "The Jade Blood Sect has an amazing little guy."
