After night fell, the mountains and forests to the north of the south fell silent. What was out of place here were several dozen cultivators gathered together in a certain clearing, as if they were discussing something. Two Yuanying cultivators stood in the centre, presiding over the meeting.
Fifty kilometers away, Yi Tian was seated cross-legged on the ground in a tree hollow. There was a layer of light barrier around him, sealing off the tree hollow. Currently, a soul sense bead in his hand shone brightly, illuminating the ceiling of the tree hollow and displaying the meeting.
The person standing in the centre was an old man with a bandaged head and neck. His face was colourful, so he should be the Myriad Poison Demon. The Yuanying cultivator standing beside him was dressed in the attire of a regular independent cultivator, but his face seemed to have been enchanted, so it was impossible to make out his true appearance.
Yi Tian sat in the cave and carefully looked at the person's face. His mouth twitched slightly. This person looked ordinary, but in front of everyone's eyes, he relied on his high cultivation to hide his face. He should be a well-known figure in the Southern Wilderness.
Almost an hour later, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the image. As it turned out, a cultivator flew over from the north. He seemed to be a Yuanying cultivator. As a result, there were three Yuanying cultivators attending the meeting this time.
After the person landed, the Myriad Poison Demon said, "Since all of you are here, let's begin."
Afterwards, the cultivators in the surroundings all gathered over. Afterwards, the Myriad Poison Demon said, "Everyone, I believe you've all come because you're well aware of this matter."
The cultivators in the surroundings all nodded. Someone even chimed in, "Isn't it just the merger of the four divisions of the Wise King path? How does the Myriad Poison Ancestor plan on dealing with this? Please tell us if you're going in or out. "
With that, the Myriad Poison Demon did not back down. He said, "I understand everyone's feelings. After the merger, the Wise King path will definitely target the sects of the south. I believe the first to bear the brunt of this will be the smaller sects without Yuanying cultivators. When the time comes, there will only be two options: assimilation or extermination. I believe everyone can already imagine that."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene began to bustle with discussion. Most of the people agreed with these words. There were also a few Golden Core cultivators who suggested that after the merger of the four divisions of the Wise King Path, there had not been any signs of active expansion, and that it was too early to make such a conclusion.
The Myriad Poison Sect said sternly in response, "Fellow daoists of the south, although the Wise King path has yet to actively merge with the other sects, there's no guarantee that it won't in the future. And, the Wise King path unified the south a thousand years ago. I believe all the sect masters present should know about this. No one wants to see something like that happen again. "
Immediately, the entire place was filled with excited voices. After a while, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Master gestured for everyone to calm down. Then, he continued, "I propose that we gather all the sects scattered all over the southern border and reopen our doors in the northern border. This way, we can take care of each other. Even when facing the overbearing Wise King Road, we can still face the enemy together."
However, with that, the entire place fell silent. The sect masters all had their own plans, so none of them were optimistic about the Myriad Poison Demon's suggestion.
Even the host, Fei Wei, expressed that he did not want to give up on the century-old foundation left behind by his predecessors.
The situation immediately became extremely awkward. The Myriad Poison Demon wanted to form a faction, but he was helpless against the cultivators of the various sects below. The two of them did not seem to have any good suggestions for now.
Instead, it was the late cultivator beside him who transmitted a few words to the Myriad Poison Demon. Moments later, the two of them seemed to have reached a consensus. Following that, the Myriad Poison Demon said, "Sect masters, this person beside me is the Yuanying cultivator from the Middle state's Li Fire Sect, Lu Linsheng. He has promised that as long as all of us sects unite to oppose the Wise King path in the south, his Li Fire Sect will support us from behind. "
With that said, Lu Linsheng walked forward and said with a smile, "I can guarantee that the Li Fire Sect will provide ten million Spirit Stones to the alliance every year for the next ten years to help everyone relocate. Once everyone has established a foothold in the north of the southern border, we can plan for the future. How about that?"
When everyone heard this, they revealed looks of surprise. Although a portion of the ten million Spirit Stones would be given to the Myriad Poison Sect, the remaining amount would still be quite a sizable sum after splitting it among more than ten sects.
If a small sect like the Longevity Sect was given a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones a year, it was believed that their development would greatly improve.
At this moment, Yi Tian, who was sitting in the tree hole and watching the scene, could not help but be speechless at Lu Linsheng's generosity. After all, it was not difficult for him to fork out ten million Spirit Stones, but a hundred million Spirit Stones for ten years was a huge sum that even a Yuanying cultivator might not be able to easily afford.
He estimated that even if he sold off all of Chiyang School's assets, he would not be able to raise such a sum. Yet, Lu Linsheng could easily offer such a condition. It was obvious that his scheme was not simple.
Back then, Lu Linsheng had explored the cave abode with Sima Tengyun, so he definitely had what Sima Tengyun had. Furthermore, he was from the Middle state's Li Fire Sect, but it was unknown what his relationship with Sect Master Lu Jinyuan was.
Instantly, several thoughts flashed through Yi Tian's mind. For Lu Linsheng to say such a thing, there had to be a big problem behind it. Furthermore, it was unknown what kind of agreement he had with Myriad Poison Demon and the other Yuanying cultivator.
Looking at the light, he saw that the people around him had been discussing for a while. Everyone expressed their own opinions and agreed with Myriad Poisons Demon's suggestion. However, everyone still hoped that they could agree on the allocation of resources, so as to avoid any further complications.
Following that, Myriad Poison Demon took the lead to discuss the allocation of resources and the relocation of sects with the various Sect Masters present.
From Yi Tian's point of view, this alliance meeting seemed to have turned into a wet market. It was just a transaction of the sects' assets for Spirit Stones. The Longevity Sect's Fei Wei took out seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones in one go, and then sold his sect's assets.
Yi Tian could only shake his head when he saw this. Seven million Spirit Stones for ten years was definitely more than that. Furthermore, Myriad Poison Demon's calculations were quite good. Let alone ten years, with this allocation, these sects might not even be able to get enough Spirit Stones.
When the time came, even if Lu Linsheng went back on his word, these Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't have the guts to ask the Yuanying cultivators for Spirit Stones.
After secretly looking down on these people, a thought suddenly flashed through Yi Tian's mind. Lu Linsheng and the Myriad Poison Sect were sparing no effort to relocate their sects. Could it be that they had set their sights on these sects' assets?
Could it be that there were still some unspeakable secrets hidden in these ancestral lands?
Thinking of this, Yi Tian finally understood. These Yuanying cultivators were all shrewd people. How could they make a bad deal? Why didn't he see that all the cultivators present today were from sects where Aurous Core Stage cultivators were the most respected? Not a single Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was present.
Now, Yi Tian's interest was piqued. It seemed that this matter wasn't simple. The Yuanying cultivator whose face he couldn't see clearly seemed to be a key figure in this matter.
