The next morning.
The headquarters of the alliance had been completed in the center of the Rong Mo Plain. People of the seven families and sects had entered. At this moment, the representatives of the thirty-one sects had come to the top floor of the central pavilion to discuss the big plan.
The most important thing to discuss today was the division of the territories of the sects in the Eight Ancient Continents. Including the Ice and Fire Union, all 32 representatives were present. This was a matter of great importance. Therefore, those who were present were basically the Sect Leaders and Sect Leaders of the various sects. Only sects like the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, which lacked strategy, would send their Vice Sect Leaders.
Although the pavilion was conical, the top floor was still very big, and there was only one space. Whether it was the top floor or the surroundings, it was made of special ores. Light from the outside could shine in, but it was hard to reflect the light inside. In other words, people could see everything outside clearly from the inside, but people outside couldn't see the inside of the space.
Thirty-two chairs were placed on the top floor, forming a big ring. There was a square table next to each chair. It wasn't big, but it was big enough for people to put their documents on. The distance between each chair and table was around one zhang. There was no decoration in the middle of the ring, so people could see each other clearly. There was no carpet under their feet, but smooth and hard stones. At this special time, people didn't agree to use soft and comfortable things. Otherwise, people would feel relaxed.
The sun was shining brightly. The representatives of the sects had all arrived, sitting on the chairs. The representative of the Ice and Fire Union was Liu Yi. The seats were arranged according to the camp. The Ice and Fire Union was the core of the camp. Liu Yi was the weakest, so she sat in the middle.
The Sect Masters of the Flower Moon Sect, the Volcano Sect, and the Thousand Shadow Sect came. Only the Misty Rain Sect didn't. Their Vice Master Yan Yue came.
The three Sect Masters of the Misty Rain Sect were Yan Xi, Vice Master Yan Yue, and Yan Min. Yan Min didn't participate in the management. She just focused on teaching the elders and disciples. Although Yan Xi was the strongest, he always relied on Yan Yue's point of view. Moreover, they had grown up together, so they trusted each other. Thus, he trusted Yan Yue. Not only that, he also made Yan Yue the representative of the Misty Rain Sect. She stayed here to make decisions.
Liu Yi and Yan Yue had talked several times. They liked each other a lot. However, the division today wasn't that simple...................
"The most important thing today is to divide the regions." The leader of the Great Land Sect, Huang Ding, was the first to speak. He said loudly, "As for how to divide it, I hope everyone can express their opinions and decide quickly."
Everyone nodded in agreement. At that moment, Chen Kuang, the representative of the Yin Yang Divine Sect and the Vice Sect Master, spoke up. "We can't divide the regions based on size alone. We have to consider the actual situation. The north of the continent would definitely suffer the least attacks, while the south would definitely be the most ferocious. The east and west could not be underestimated either. I suggest that we divide the coastline according to the length of the coastline, with the center of the four empires. The closer to the south, the shorter the coastline, and the closer to the north, the longer the coastline. What do you all think? "
Many people nodded after hearing this. In fact, many people thought the same. After all, such a division of flowers was undoubtedly the most reasonable way. However, there were many drawbacks to this method of allocation. The most important one was that this division would include the headquarters and resource territories of many sects. As for the other sects, they would be under the management of the other sects.
"I don't agree." Gao Ting, the Sect Master of the Nine Swords Sect, spoke up. "Connecting the coastline to the center will include the headquarters and resource territories of many different sects. This will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, even if we divide it according to the headquarters and resource territories, it will still cause chaos among our seven factions. If even our factions cannot advance or retreat together, we don't believe that the other sects won't play dirty tricks behind our backs. "
"…"
Many people nodded again. This was the biggest problem with this division of regions. Everyone had realized this during the discussion yesterday. If the factions wanted to be together, most of the headquarters and resource territories would be taken over by the other factions. Some of the sects were located closer to the sea, so no matter how they divided, it would be difficult to achieve a perfect result.
They could only choose one out of the two. Following this, many representatives spoke up for two methods of allocation. One was for the factions, while the other was for the headquarters and resource territories. Both sides were in a deadlock, and after a long discussion, they were unable to reach a consensus.
Liu Yi looked at these people's discussion and sat quietly on the chair without saying a word. At this moment, Chen Kuang, the representative of the Yin Yang Divine Sect, looked at Liu Yi. He thought for a while and said, "What do you think, Alliance Leader Liu?"
As soon as he said this, all the representatives looked at Liu Yi. To be honest, most of them looked down on Liu Yi. Not only was the Ice Fire Alliance weak, but it was also because of the Ice Fire Alliance. If Lu An had come here today, they would have paid more attention and respected him. However, they were not interested in Liu Yi.
However, since Chen Kuang had spoken, everyone still had to give face. They all looked at Liu Yi. Since she had been called, Liu Yi naturally would not refuse. She spoke calmly and directly.
"We can compromise." Liu Yi looked around and said, "Most of the headquarters and resource territories of the sects are far away from the coastline. It can be said that they are inland. Now, only the Dragons have truly entered the land. However, there are not many of them, and they are not very strong. It is easier for the sects to deal with them. We just need to divide the coastline and give the headquarters and resource territories to the corresponding factions. The other factions can choose another area. Our main battlefield is the coastline, not the inland. "
Liu Yi's voice was neither fast nor slow. It was very moderate, and it was very comfortable to listen to. Hearing Liu Yi's idea, many of the representatives fell into deep thought and nodded slightly.
"What if the mystical beasts invade the inland?" Guang You Sect Leader Su Keming said coldly.
"Whichever faction fails will be responsible for the clean-up. It will be fine as long as everyone does not shirk their responsibilities. After all, this concerns the future of the entire human race." Liu Yi said, "If many factions fail and the marine mystical beasts enter the inland, it means that the coastline has collapsed. The mystical beasts are stronger than us. I think that everyone will no longer have to worry about the headquarters and resource territories. Because by then, not only the civilians, even our survival will be a problem. "
"That's right." Yan Yue opened her mouth. Her voice was slightly cold as she said, "If it really reaches that stage, the alliance of the sects will have to change. We will not be fighting for ourselves like we are now."
"…"
Everyone fell silent. That was the truth. By then, all the resource territories would be snatched by the mystical beasts. They had to admit that Liu Yi's idea was indeed the best.
"Since you thought of it, why didn't you say so earlier?" Wan Guang Sect Leader Wang Hong questioned.
"The words of a lowly person carry little weight." Liu Yi smiled and said, "And I thought that Sect Leader Wang would have thought of it."
"You!" Wang Hong's face turned cold, as if he was about to explode.
Many of the sects' representatives were watching this scene. Actually, it was understandable that Liu Yi did not speak. Her strength was low, and this matter was caused by the Ice Fire Alliance. Once she spoke, it would seem like she was trying to steal the limelight. If she spoke after being called out by others, once her opinion was accepted, it would make people pay more attention to the existence of the Ice Fire Alliance, or rather, Liu Yi.
"Alliance Leader Liu's words make sense." Huang Ding said loudly, "Everyone should work together and put aside some benefits. We will divide according to the coastline. Is there anyone else who objects?"
The 32 representatives looked at each other, but in the end, no one spoke. Even Guang You Sect was the same.
"Since no one objects, let's divide according to this method." Huang Ding said. Then, he waved his right hand. The ring on his finger flashed. Immediately, a massive map of the Eight Ancient Continents appeared, spreading out on the spacious open space in the center.
"If you have a headquarters or resource territories near the coastline, please mark them first," said Huang Ding. "After that, we will divide them in detail."
Immediately, the representatives of the four sects took action. They put a metal mark on the headquarters and resource territories near the coastline, indicating whether they were the headquarters or the resource territories.
Luckily, there weren't many areas, so it was easy to divide them. Huang Ding said, "Now, let's divide them. If you have any opinions, please tell us."
Before Huang Ding's voice faded away, Su Ke Ming's voice arose again. He looked at Liu Yi and sneered, "This matter is caused by the Ice Fire Alliance. Shouldn't the Ice Fire Alliance take more responsibility?"
