Chapter 1222 The stakes are high

"Brother Xu, if this is true, how should we deal with it next?"

There was a hint of heaviness in Zhou Yiqiao's voice.

Before this, he felt that as long as he gave up all the interests here, he could easily retreat from the battlefield.

However, if all this was indeed done by the three holy places working together, then whether he could escape from this predicament safely was probably no longer something he could control alone.

Not only has he been "abandoned" by the Netherworld Demon Sect, he is also on bad terms with Qinjian Villa. If he wants to gain a foothold in the storm, for now he can only follow Xu Hanchang closely.

At least the other party has extended an olive branch to him to join Tianwaitian. Once the situation develops out of control, he still has a way out.

Of course Xu Hanchang didn't know that Zhou Yiqiao had thought about so many things in a short period of time. He just felt that this matter was much more difficult than he had imagined.

"At first, I was thinking about contacting as many forces as possible in the Dark Tide Valley and making them switch sides in the final battle. Even if I can't severely damage the High Heaven Palace, I can delay it until the Great Mysterious Heaven and my Qinjian Villa form an alliance and resolve this crisis."

Xu Hanchang paced slowly, frowning, and continued speaking.

"But now, if most of the forces in Dark Tide Valley have been secretly controlled by the other three holy places, then our plan may fail."

Zhou Yiqiao was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Brother Xu, if that's the case, let's change our thinking."

"Qinjian Villa and the three holy places have the same goal. Perhaps we can use their tactics to help the three holy places achieve their vision."

"If we say that Qinjian Villa was just trying to survive the confrontation with Lingxiao Palace at the beginning, now that we know the true purpose of the three holy places, we can even gain some benefits for ourselves."

“You know, when a whale falls, everything comes to life. The High Heaven Palace has been targeted by the three sacred places, and it is a dead end.”

"Even if Qinjian Villa can't eat meat, as another protagonist of this storm, it's only natural for us to have some soup."

When Xu Hanchang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he quickly regained his composure. He stopped and stared at Zhou Yiqiao, as if examining the profound meaning and feasibility behind these words.

"Brother Zhou is right, but we are only one family after all, and we cannot influence the decision of Qinjian Villa."

"How about this, I will contact the eldest lady and the owner of the manor now to see what the senior executives of Qinjian Mountain Manor think."

After he finished speaking, he once again took out the jade slip from his arms.

He just made a hand gesture and injected a ray of spiritual consciousness into it.

The next moment, ripples appeared on the surface of the jade slip, like a pool of spring water ruffled by the breeze, establishing a connection with the elder on the other side of the jade slip.

"Elder, I have something important to discuss with you. Please contact the owner of the manor, the eldest lady, and all the senior management as soon as possible. I have important information to discuss with them."

Xu Hanchang's voice was transmitted through the jade slip. His expression was extremely serious, and he had obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.

The elder was already afraid of Xu Hanchang, and now he could hear the seriousness of the matter from Xu Hanchang's tone, so he didn't dare to be negligent at all.

Soon, the elder's voice was heard from the jade slip.

"Nephew Xu, the owner of the manor, the eldest lady, and other senior executives have been contacted. They are now gathered in the meeting hall of the manor, waiting for your news."

Xu Hanchang nodded and said to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Brother Zhou, let's tell them about this and see what they think."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded in agreement, and the two of them injected their spiritual consciousness into the jade slip together. Through a special formation, their images and voices were transmitted to the meeting hall of Qinjian Villa.

In the meeting hall, Qing Lietian, Qing Jimeng and other senior executives were already present. They looked at the jade slip and saw not only the image of Xu Hanchang, but also the serious-looking Zhou Yiqiao beside them. They all showed surprised expressions.

"Xu Hanchang, why are you mobilizing so many troops?"

Qing Lietian, as the owner of the manor, was the first to ask questions.

This was a serious matter, so Xu Hanchang did not treat Qing Lietian with much courtesy as usual. Instead, he bowed respectfully and looked up and said.

"Master, elders, Brother Zhou and I have made a surprising discovery in the Dark Tide Valley."

"The three holy places seem to have secretly joined forces, intending to take advantage of the chaos in the High Heaven Palace to achieve their ulterior motives. I'm afraid our previous plan needs to be greatly adjusted."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the meeting hall.

No one would have thought that the struggle between Qinjian Villa and Lingxiao Palace would involve the other three holy places.

Qing Jimeng was the first to come back to his senses. He frowned and looked at Zhou Yiqiao and the others with a serious expression.

"If this is true, then the situation of our Qinjian Villa will become very delicate, and we must reconsider our strategy."

Other senior executives were also talking about it. This news was undoubtedly a bombshell to them and completely disrupted their original plans.

Xu Hanchang heard the doubt in Qing Jimeng's words, so he opened his mouth to explain again.

"Although the evidence is not ironclad, Brother Zhou and I have sneaked into the Dark Tide Valley many times and have witnessed with our own eyes that the morale of the various forces in the Dark Tide Valley is low."

"All signs indicate that the three holy places have indeed joined forces."

"Brother Zhou and I agree that instead of passively waiting for the outcome of the war, it is better to take the initiative and look for opportunities."

“Once the giant Lingxiao Palace falls, the pattern of the Tianchen Realm will undergo tremendous changes.”

"As the protagonist of this turmoil, our Qinjian Villa will certainly be able to seize the benefits before other Central Continent Saint Sects. If we use the right means, it is not impossible for us to become the head of the Saint Sect."

A huge temptation was thrown in front of the top management of Qinjian Villa, and everyone fell silent.

Qing Lietian's expression was solemn. His eyes swept back and forth between Xu Hanchang and Zhou Yiqiao's faces, as if he was judging whether there was any falsehood in their words.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

"Xu Hanchang, the situation you and Zhou Yiqiao described is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the elders."

He paused and continued.

"This matter involves the future of our Qinjian Villa, and we cannot make a hasty decision."

"I will give you an answer in one day."

Xu Hanchang and Zhou Yiqiao looked at each other and saw that the other was relieved.

This decision is enough to change the future of Qinjian Villa. It is also expected that Qing Lietian and other senior executives need time to consider.

"Since the owner of the manor said so, I will give you one day."

"But the situation is changing every moment, and I hope you can get the results as soon as possible."

Xu Hanchang nodded in response, then watched Qing Lietian terminate the communication between the two parties.
