People's hearts are unpredictable.
Especially those of Emperor-level forces.
They are all old foxes.
It might be some kind of conspiracy.
But the Poetry Saint didn't care.
The Poetry Saint said, "Whether it's a conspiracy or not, the Sect Leader will judge this matter, and it will also be decided by the Sect Leader."
The crowd nodded.
If it wasn't a conspiracy, honestly, that would be really awesome!
An Emperor-level force actually admitting defeat to a Royal-level force, this simply shocked the entire Nine Provinces.
As members of the Eternal First Divine Sect, they felt particularly great about it.
The Eternal First Divine Sect had finally established its fierce reputation in the Nine Provinces.
Even Emperor-level forces were coming to admit defeat, this fierce reputation was truly terrifying.
"However, based on the Sect Leader's personality, the World Association and the Divine Serenity Hall are definitely not going to be let off. Now that the Divine Serenity Hall has admitted defeat, let's see what the World Association does. If these two major forces admit defeat, that would be really fun."
"The World Association is impossible. Immortal Emperor Qinghai has already been killed. As the ancestor of the World Association, even if someone in the World Association wants to admit defeat, it's impossible due to various considerations."
"Next, we'll see what the Sect Leader intends."
… …
At this moment.
Xu Fengqiu also received news from the Poetry Saint.
"The Divine Serenity Hall is seeking peace?"
Xu Fengqiu stroked his chin.
That's not bad either.
The Divine Serenity Hall seeking peace also saved him the trouble of taking action again.
After all, resolving an Emperor-level force is simply too difficult.
And at this moment, Xu Fengqiu was sitting in a tavern in a city not far from the World Association.
"World Association is recruiting disciples."
That's good news.
He just happened to run into the World Association recruiting new disciples.
If Xu Fengqiu could become a disciple of the World Association, then he would have many methods within the World Association sect.
Xu Fengqiu made a special trip.
The scene of the World Association recruiting disciples was very grand.
After all, it was an Emperor-level force recruiting disciples.
Only… …
What Xu Fengqiu found a bit funny was… …
Outside the mountain gate where the World Association was recruiting disciples, there were actually dozens of top Immortal Emperor experts from the World Association.
What were they doing?
Checking identities and disguises.
Many people were also discussing it, and they all found it funny.
"Is the World Association's recruitment of disciples so strict?"
"Hahaha, they are not strict, they are afraid of Xu Fengqiu."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
"Don't forget, in the previous Heavenly Nether Sacred Ground, Xu Fengqiu deceived everyone with a disguise, using the alias Xiao Qiufeng. What is the World Association afraid of now? It must be Xu Fengqiu's revenge. And if Xu Fengqiu takes action against their World Association, he will definitely use unusual moves, and definitely not a head-on confrontation. They are afraid that Xu Fengqiu will take advantage of this disciple recruitment opportunity to infiltrate the World Association."
"That's right! If Xu Fengqiu sneaks into the World Association and poisons them, it will definitely have a huge impact on the World Association, so they need to ensure the identities of these disciples."
"The World Association is obviously afraid of Xu Fengqiu."
"… …"
Seeing this situation, Xu Fengqiu had no choice.
The World Association had yielded, but not completely.
Since they intended to do so, then even if Xu Fengqiu infiltrated it, even if he poisoned them, it would probably be difficult to achieve a particularly good effect, because they were intentionally avoiding these things.
Then they would also definitely avoid the situation where the experts from each peak of the World Association gathered.
So, even if the poisoning was successful, it would only be successful for a small portion of the experts, and it would not have much impact on such a powerful sect as an Emperor-level force.
Xu Fengqiu silently returned to the Eternal First Divine Sect.
Then… …
Everyone thought that he, Xu Fengqiu, would not engage in a head-on confrontation, so he would just come for a head-on confrontation.
… …
World Association.
Inside the main hall.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
They originally did not want to conduct this year's disciple recruitment.
After all, they were worried about the risks.
However, if they stopped this disciple recruitment, the sect's development would stagnate for a period of time, which they did not want to see either.
Moreover, they would be laughed at by the world.
Therefore, they could only treat everyone who came to the World Association with extreme caution.
And now, what made their expressions solemn was not this.
But the Divine Serenity Hall.
"This Divine Serenity Hall! Trash, a bunch of cowards! Trash!"
World Association Sect Leader Zhan Lanchen scolded.
"This Divine Serenity Hall, a dignified Divine-level force, actually admitted defeat to that Eternal First Divine Sect, actually sought peace with them, it's simply a disgrace! It's simply going to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the entire Nine Provinces!"
"Such a pathetic existence is simply laughable. A dignified Emperor-level force seeks peace with the Eternal First Divine Sect, which has just been promoted to a Royal-level force. I spit on that!"
"… …"
Although these people seemed to be insulting the Divine Serenity Hall, in fact, many people thought so in their hearts.
If the World Association could seek peace with the Eternal First Divine Sect, that would actually be a good choice.
Because they really didn't particularly want to confront Xu Fengqiu head-on, and they were also wary of Xu Fengqiu's methods.
But they couldn't say it out loud.
Because their situation was different from that of the Divine Serenity Hall. Their ancestor had been killed by Xu Fengqiu, so seeking peace became even more impossible.
"They can't possibly become allies with the Eternal First Divine Sect, right? That's too much!"
"That depends on Xu Fengqiu's conditions, hiss—wait a minute."
If Xu Fengqiu proposed this condition, wouldn't the Divine Serenity Hall have no choice but to agree?
If the Divine Serenity Hall agreed, then wouldn't the Divine Serenity Hall have to help the Eternal First Divine Sect deal with their World Association once a fight broke out?
Thinking of this, everyone's mood became even heavier.
They were wary of Xu Fengqiu alone, let alone adding another World Association.
Zhan Lanchen then got up: "This Sect Leader must talk to Emperor Tianxuan."
The current situation was also the best opportunity for him to find Emperor Tianxuan.
And the World Association really needed Emperor Tianxuan's support.
… …
Time passed slowly.
Divine Serenity Hall.
Recently, the Divine Serenity Hall has been controversial.
The discussions and sneers of the people of Nine Provinces.
Even the dissatisfaction of the Divine Serenity Hall's own internal disciples.
They all felt that the Divine Serenity Hall was too timid and too weak.
They actually showed weakness to the Eternal First Divine Sect.
The Divine Serenity Hall had also anticipated this would happen in advance.
But what could they do?
Inside the main hall.
Sect Leader Ran Siping and the others also had solemn expressions.
There was no other reason.
Xu Fengqiu agreed to the Divine Serenity Hall's request for peace.
But there was one condition.
Xu Fengqiu gave them a list, and the list contained some of the natural treasures that Xu Fengqiu wanted.
They were extremely top-notch, and the quantity was also large.
Even for their Emperor-level forces, it was a major bleeding.
"This is simply robbery! So many resources? It's not less than the foundation of a Royal-level force! It's almost 10% of our Emperor-level force!"
"This is simply a lion opening its mouth. I would rather fight him."
He was also pretending, just saying that. If there was a real fight, he wouldn't want to fight either. Anyway, it wasn't him who was providing these resources, just expressing his so-called "dissatisfaction".
