#3227 - Sleeping Palace

“Fellow Daoist Qiu, you're a rare guest indeed!” In a magnificent hall, Wang Hao sat in the seat of honor, coldly watching Qiu Yunkai below.

Qiu Yunkai wore a bitter expression, cupping his hands in a bow, “Fellow Daoist Wang, I'm sure you're already aware of my intentions. Now is another critical moment for the Qianyang Realm. Please put aside your grievances and work together to exterminate the demonic forces!”

Seeing that Wang Hao didn't respond, he continued to speak eloquently, “If the demonic forces grow stronger, they will inevitably pose a serious threat to the Qianyang Realm. The human race now spans three continents and is closer to the Demon City, making it difficult to escape.

Even if Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't want to cooperate with us, you must consider the plight of the human race!”

“I killed the逍遥 Sword尊 (Xiaoyao Sword Reverent), and I also killed the Zhu family father and son. Two experts from your Sea King Clan also died at my hands!” Wang Hao's expression remained unchanged, still speaking coldly.

“So what? Fellow Daoist Wang, don't you understand that great clans only look at benefits, and hatred is insignificant in the face of benefits,” Qiu Yunkai said dismissively, pausing slightly before reminding, “Moreover, this time it's not my Sea King Clan seeking peace, but an immortal who has issued a decree that the demonic forces must be eliminated.”

But even so, it would be a big problem if Wang Hao had the mentality of destroying everything together with the various clans.

Fortunately, Wang Hao was rational enough and didn't make an impulsive decision.

At the same time, in a luxurious hall in the central area of the Origin Sea, Immortal Rong, who had a gloomy expression, suddenly changed, a smile appearing on her face.

This was her place of slumber. After the last great battle, she had returned here to cultivate in seclusion.

What she didn't expect was that Immortal Yun and Great Immortal Hailing had blocked her in her bedroom, preventing her from leaving even half a step.

The other party didn't directly attack her, but a little thought would reveal that her wings outside would inevitably be clipped.

Immortal Rong had also expected this. With the external troubles gone, internal strife was inevitable.

After all, the Qianyang Realm's origin of heaven and earth couldn't support so many immortals advancing to the True Immortal Realm together.

She wasn't going to give up these forces that she had worked so hard to gather, but she had no choice, who told her she was the weakest? She actually wanted the other sleeping immortals to awaken, so that the situation would be more chaotic and she would have a chance of survival.

To this end, she had repeatedly ordered her subordinate forces to be peaceful and avoid disturbing the Qianyang Realm, which would damage the Origin Sea.

Unfortunately, she still miscalculated. The逍遥 Sword尊 (Xiaoyao Sword Reverent) had activated the Qianyang Realm's grand formation and extracted a large amount of the origin of heaven and earth, greatly delaying the awakening time of the other immortals.

Immortal Rong had no choice but to cut her losses and choose to cultivate in seclusion.

However, a turn for the better came when Wang Hao gave her a big surprise. Not only was he not eliminated, but he also severely damaged the forces under Yunyi and Hailing.

Although Immortal Rong was blocked here, she had enough means to understand what was happening outside.

Similarly, Hailing and Yunyi also maintained contact with the outside world.

They also didn't expect that their long-planned action, for which they didn't hesitate to turn against Immortal Rong, was so inexplicably resolved by one person!

Immortal Rong was on good terms with Granny Huagu and Old Monster Huangfeng, who were also sleeping, and they didn't dare to directly attack Immortal Rong. Otherwise, when all their fellow Daoists awakened, their actions of harming their fellow Daoists would inevitably be resisted, and they would be the ones to suffer.

With the situation as it was, they could only reconcile with Immortal Rong.

Hailing and Yunyi appeared in the hall, preparing to say a few polite words and apologize to Immortal Rong.

In their opinion, the cultivators under their command were just ants, and the life and death of ants didn't need to be taken so seriously. Moreover, they were the ones who had suffered this time, and Immortal Rong had benefited, so she should choose to let it go lightly.

But before they could say anything, a sharp aura erupted, and several rays of light struck them, enveloping them in place!

Hailing and Yunyi didn't fight back, but only condensed protective light to resist Immortal Rong's attack.

“You two old things, do you think this immortal's bedroom is a vegetable market?”

Immortal Rong suddenly erupted, and Hailing and Yunyi could only smile bitterly at each other.

Regardless of the outcome, they had besieged Immortal Rong first, so they were at fault.

They would still need to use Immortal Rong next, so they could only apologize!

Although Immortal Rong was weaker than them, she also had unique methods. If they really fought, they would inevitably have to pay a price, which could affect their breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.

“Immortal Rong, spare and forgive, it's all the people below who are ignorant. Fellow Daoist Hailing and I are also very helpless!”

“Hehe, full of nonsense, would you, Yunyi, be restrained by those ants?” Immortal Rong said angrily.

“Immortal Rong, we were indeed wrong this time, and Fellow Daoist Yun and I will definitely give you an explanation that will satisfy you.

But now, please take the overall situation into consideration, have mercy on the safety of the Qianyang Realm, and be mindful of the fellow Daoists who have not yet awakened.

Immortals and demons are irreconcilable, the emergence of the Demon City must be aimed at you and me. Those cultivators can't see it, but can't the immortal see it?”

Great Immortal Hailing persuaded earnestly.

Since ancient times, immortals and demons have been opposed to each other. There are also beings in the demonic path who are on the same level as immortals. They need to advance to the True Immortal Realm, and the Great Demons also need to go further.

Destroying their path to advancement is a form of cultivation for demons.

Immortal Rong didn't respond to their explanation, but only strengthened her attack.

Immortal Rong didn't want to fight them to the death, but the situation was ruined by the two of them. Giving only an insubstantial promise, did they think she was a three-year-old child?

Moreover, she had been trapped here for several years, and her face had been trampled on, so she also needed to vent!

Hailing and Yunyi used their demonic energy to resist Immortal Rong's attack, still not fighting back.

They knew they were in the wrong, and they also saw that Immortal Rong was taking the opportunity to vent her anger, so they could only cooperate with the performance and let her calm down!

Immortal Rong was furious and fought hard against the two immortals, finally gaining a slight advantage.

Hailing and Yunyi took the opportunity to step down and promised to give up a large amount of benefits, including control over key nodes in the Qianyang Realm.

Wang Hao finally received Immortal Rong's order and immediately sent people to take over these key nodes, including an entrance to the Origin Sea.

Of course, the major clans were unwilling, but they had all received orders from Great Immortal Hailing and Immortal Yun, and they didn't dare to attack the cultivators of the Celestial Profound Alliance, so they could only retreat continuously.

They had provoked this great battle, but not only did they not gain any advantage, but they also gave up a lot of territory. For a time, the high-level members of the various clans were extremely depressed.

Wang Hao didn't take the opportunity to expand, and after occupying some key territories, he also strictly ordered his subordinates not to provoke or attack without authorization!

Despite the fact that Immortal Rong's faction had won this time, Wang Hao knew that Immortal Rong's faction was still very weak and must not break with the major clans at this time.

The Celestial Profound Alliance couldn't withstand another great battle!

His actions were also in order to gain more bargaining chips in the subsequent negotiations, so as to fight for more benefits.
