After 15 minutes, the office was very depressing.
When the six women heard Lu An tell them what had happened, their hearts were very heavy. There was good news and bad news. The good news was that the Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress had successfully broken through to the Heavenly King Realm, and the Gods had lifted the ban on Sengoku. From now on, they could move freely on the Immortal Planet and even let Sengoku rule over humans and beasts. This news was extremely good news for the Ice Fire Alliance.
However … the bad news was also very heavy.
The Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress had just broken through to the Heavenly King Realm, and they had learned about this as soon as they came out of seclusion. Their emotions fluctuated so much that it might even affect their future cultivation. Breaking through was a great joy, but losing one's son was a great sorrow. Moreover, it was not an ordinary loss of one's son, but a traitor's death. Even in Liu Yi's opinion, this was too cruel to tell the Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress.
Especially when Chen admitted that things had turned out this way because of the Immortal Master's position. These words might not have much impact on the Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress, but it would definitely have a huge impact on Yao.
Everyone kept comforting her. Finally, Yao's emotions gradually stabilized and she stopped crying. However, she only stabilized her emotions. Looking at Yao's appearance, everyone knew that this was not something that could be accepted in a short period of time. She needed time to slowly wash it away.
The Immortal Master asked them to go the day after tomorrow to give the Immortal Empress time to accept it. For the Immortal Empress, who had experienced too many storms, two days was definitely enough. Even if she was sad, she would hide it well in her heart and not let others see it.
As for executing Chen and Qi … Liu Yi boldly guessed that it would be done today or tomorrow, or even today.
It was very simple. If it was delayed for too long, it would be akin to rubbing salt on the Immortal Empress' wounds again. The repeated shocks would make her collapse even more. Although it would be very painful to cut the Gordian knot, it would only hurt for a while and not be a long-term torture.
The Immortal Master breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm was an extremely huge matter for Sengoku, which had been dormant for 13,000 years. Everyone in Sengoku would definitely be eager to try. They would definitely not be able to wait. The Immortal Master would definitely not be able to wait. He definitely wanted to do something big during his term of office and revive Sengoku. He even wanted to become an existence that surpassed the Hachiko clan.
For a competent leader, the most important goal must be to lead the race to greatness, not trivial matters.
After everyone sent Yao An to her private pavilion to rest, Liu Yi and Lu An stayed together. She looked at Lu An, and said. "Husband, the Divine Lord has requested for you and little sister Yao to head over in the day after tomorrow. They will definitely discuss the next important matters. Sengoku will definitely ask a lot of questions about the Sect Alliance and the Mystical Beasts. We'd better be prepared and think about what questions the Immortal Master will ask so that we won't be flustered and unable to answer in time. "
"Alright." Lu An took a deep breath and nodded.

Two days later.
Hachiko clan, Sengoku.
At noon, in the meeting hall. At this moment, the Immortal Master, Immortal Empress, four Immortal Monarchs, important Immortal Ministers, as well as Qing, Yao, and Lu An, a total of twenty-two people were sitting in the conference hall, preparing for a meeting.
After two days of adjustment, the Immortal Empress, who was sitting at the head of the table with the Immortal Master, was very calm. There were no traces of sadness on her face, and she was very decent and generous. Although Yao had not reached the level of an Immortal Empress, Lu An had been by her side for the past two days, and her emotions had stabilized.
Yao knew that the stronger she was, the less emotional she could be. She should recognize reality and not let herself be a burden to her husband and family.
Two major events happened in the past two days. The first was the Immortal Master's order to inform the entire clan of the information that only the four Immortal Monarchs knew. The information about the Galactic War, the information about the Death Race, and what everyone was going to do next were all explained. When everyone in Sengoku heard this, they were all stunned. Even after two days, many people still could not digest it and could not believe it.
However, the Immortal Master would definitely not tell them about the God of Heaven Mountain, nor would he tell the humans and Mystical Beasts in the world, because the God of Heaven did not allow him to do so.
The second major event was the announcement of Chen and Qi's death to the clan. When they heard this news, all the clan members were stunned! They did not even know that Qi had been captured, nor did they know about Chen's death. Although the Immortal Monarchs announced their deaths, they did not explain the cause of death, nor did they say where their bodies were. This made everyone in Sengoku talk about it. Of course, they did not dare to talk about it openly, and could only discuss it in private.
Qing naturally received the news as well. Not only did he receive the news, but he also received the truth.
Sheng had personally told Qing the truth. Qing was shocked and could not believe it. He did not expect his big brother to do such a thing, and for such a reason.
It had to be said that Qing was much more rational than Yao. Although Qing had always been free and did not like to be controlled by others, he was actually a person who followed the rules. It was his nature. He would be rewarded for his contributions, and punished for his mistakes. Although he was disappointed, sad, and regretful about his big brother's death, he knew that he deserved it. He did not even shed a single tear.
Everyone who was supposed to be here was present. The Immortal Master looked around and took a deep breath. Too many things had happened in the past two days. It was time to have a meeting to summarize and decide what to do next.
"Chen and Qi's death has been dealt with. After the meeting, order all the clan members not to discuss this matter, and not to discuss it with outsiders," the Immortal Master said in a low voice. "Those who disobey will be punished severely."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and nodded. This decision was correct. If they continued to discuss this matter, there might be rumors that would be harmful to Sengoku.
"What's more important is what Sengoku will do next," the Immortal Master said. "Now that Sengoku has been lifted, and the gods have allowed us to rule the world. This is giving us a chance to regain our influence. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, and soon, someone spoke up. It was the only woman among the four, Sheng, Po, Chi, and Xue, Xue. She was the most intelligent of the four, and she said in a clear voice, "I think this matter must be treated differently between humans and beasts. What is in front of us is not only the Galactic War, but also the predicament of humans. While talking about cooperation, we should first make the beasts stop attacking humans and return the captured humans. Moreover, we should ask all the beasts to do their best to find humans and send them to the territory we set. The more humans we send back, the more we will be forgiven. "
"Now that the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress have broken through, it means that we are the stronger side." Xue continued, "The beasts did this to humans, so when they find out that the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress are stronger, they will definitely be terrified. We must use this emotion to make the beasts feel fear, only then will it be easier to do things. When we come into contact with them, we must be fierce. If we give them the conditions of forgiveness, it will facilitate future cooperation, making all the beasts under the heavens listen to us. It will also give the sect alliance an explanation, making them willing to cooperate with the beasts. If we are gentle towards the beasts from the start, not only will it be difficult to do anything, even the sect alliance will not be friendly towards us, and we will lose our prestige among the humans. "
After hearing Xue's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Even though Sengoku had the goodwill to cooperate, they didn't have to use a gentle method. In troubled times, they should use forceful methods, let alone when the humans were in such a miserable state. They were Sengoku's people, but they were still humans. Even if there was karma, it was impossible for them to be completely emotionless.
"Continue." The Immortal Master looked at Xue who stopped and said.
Xue could still continue, but she was scared that she would say too much. Since the Immortal Master ordered her, she naturally continued, saying, "We must first choose a few good territories, give all of the underground sect alliances a place to reside, as well as give all of the humans under the heavens a new place to live. During the Star War, the sect alliances must be led by Sengoku, listen to Sengoku's orders, or else they will no longer be protected by Sengoku. As for the beasts … I heard that the Dragons are already unifying all of the races. We can have the Dragons lead all of the beasts, but the Dragons must listen to our orders. "
When she spoke up to here, the Immortal Master's brows clearly furrowed.
Xue noticed the change in the Immortal Master's mood, immediately stopping and not continuing, asking, "Dare I ask Immortal Master … did I say something wrong?"
"Everything before is correct, only the last sentence is wrong." The Immortal Master looked at Xue and said, "There is no way the Dragons will submit to us, even if we are stronger now. Otherwise … back then, they would have already submitted to the Hachiko clan. "
