Chapter 471: Meeting of the Ten Parties
Since the ten major forces of Tian Yuan had already gathered, the Sword Immortal summoned representatives of all forces to attend the meeting the next day.
The venue of the meeting was in the main hall of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the Lingxiao Palace.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect was attended by the Sword Immortal and Luo Shenji, the Shura Hall was represented by the Purgatory Venerable, and the Donkey Kong Temple was represented by Master Xuanchi.
The other seven forces present were: Gu Chen, the leader of the Pantheistic Sect, Yan Wuji, the head of the Burning Sky Valley Valley, Ji Ming, the sect leader of the Bodhi Sect, Cao Shiyuan, the sect leader of the Guiyuan Sect, Yun Tianqing, the sect leader of the Qingtian Sect, Li Chengfeng, the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Murong Yuanshan, the head of the Murong family.
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Sword Immortal sat at the top, and the other ten representatives sat on both sides below.
The five people on the left are: Luo Shenji, Yan Wuji, Yun Tianqing, Cao Shiyuan, and Li Chengfeng.
The five people on the right are: Master Xuanchi, Purgatory Venerable, Ji Ming, Gu Chen, and Murong Yuanshan.
Although Luo Shenji is the sect master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, in this kind of matter that concerns the entire human race, it is still dominated by the sword immortal.
Seeing that everyone was sitting still, the Sword Immortal slowly spoke: "Regarding the future development of the human race and the demon race, this sect has briefly talked to you in the letter last time, but you have not directly expressed your position, however, there are all kinds of different remarks in various parts of Kyushu! There are those who support the peaceful coexistence of the human race and the demon race, and there are those who oppose the peaceful coexistence of the demon race. I don't know if those words came from your mouth, and I don't want to go back to them. Everyone here represents a hegemon-level force, and the relationship between the human race and the demon race is a matter of racial affairs, and you are qualified to express your opinions! Therefore, this sect wants to hear what you think today!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and no one wanted to be a bird.
Seeing this, the Sword Immortal immediately frowned, then turned his gaze to Yun Tianqing and said to him: "Sect Master Yun, this sect heard that among the five people in your Qingtian Sect, there is a demon clan woman, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Yun Tianqing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Sword Immortal to name him.
Then Yun Tianqing got up and replied, "Qi Qi Sword Immortal, Feng Rin Wu is indeed a member of the Demon Clan!"
Yun Tianqing didn't intend to hide it from the Sword Immortal, of course, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, after all, thousands of people saw Feng Rinwu's true body yesterday.
The Sword Immortal nodded and continued to say to Yun Tianqing: "Since that's the case, then it's up to you to tell me what you think of the Demon Clan!"
Yun Tianqing hesitated for a while and said: "I think the demon race is the same as the human race, it is a highly intelligent race, it stands to reason that the two races can coexist peacefully, of course, this is in the absence of a conflict of interest, if the two races live together, it will inevitably have conflicts for various reasons." Therefore, it is best to maintain a cooperative relationship and mutual benefit, and if you want to be close, it is not realistic!"
Everyone couldn't help nodding secretly when they heard this, Yun Tianqing's words were remarkable, in fact, in everyone's hearts, most of them thought so.
The Sword Immortal was also silent for a moment, and when he saw everyone's attitude, he understood that everyone's thoughts should be the same as Yun Tianqing's. Although this result was a bit different from what he expected, it was not too bad, at least, so that the relationship between the two races could be eased a lot! But this is also a good start, I think about it, as long as the two clans fight side by side in the face of the demons in the future, they will definitely be able to deepen their friendship at that time!
However, the Sword Immortal still wanted to test everyone's bottom line, so he asked loudly, "Do you all think so?"
Except for Luo Shenji and Gu Chen, everyone else nodded yes.
Luo Shenji naturally didn't need to express his position, because the attitude of the Sword Immortal represented the attitude of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and today Luo Shenji was just making up a number here.
"Sect Master Gu, what do you think?" the Sword Immortal asked Gu Chen again, he hoped that Gu Chen would say something different.
But Gu Chen got up and said with a smile: "The junior thinks what Sect Master Yun said is very reasonable!"
The Sword Immortal frowned when he heard this, did this kid Gu Chen take the wrong medicine today? Isn't he at odds with Yun Tianqing? Moreover, he has a lot to do with the Demon Clan, how can he do nothing about this matter?
Yun Tianqing was also puzzled, the enmity between the Qingtian Sect and the Pantheon Sect was as deep as the sea, and there was constant friction, Gu Chen had always been against him, why should he fight with him this time?
"But!" Gu Chen suddenly changed his words and continued: "Although the demon race is the same high-level intelligent race as our human race, their living habits and resource focus are completely different from those of the human race! Ores and the like are especially important for our human race, because these are all good materials for refining spiritual weapons, but unlike the demon race, their weapons are all mined from themselves, and they can't use these resources at all. In terms of cultivation, the human race is transformed into yuan power by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, while the demon race is slowly improving by developing the power of the bloodline on its own, simply put, it increases its cultivation as it grows older! Therefore, the human race can live in harmony with the demon race! Because there is not much conflict between the two sides!"
Hearing this, the Sword Immortal couldn't help but smile and nodded.
The others were also stunned when they heard this, and what Gu Chen said seemed to make sense, but if there were suddenly many more people of different races on their territory, they would still be a little reluctant.
Gu Chen continued: "Actually, most of the people in the demon clan are affectionate and righteous, especially their loyalty is very high, often as long as one person is identified, it will be difficult to have a heart of betrayal! If the concept of race can be completely broken in the future, the forces of all parties can also accommodate the people of the demon clan, which is also of great benefit to the growth of the strength of the forces of all parties!"
In the later stage of the rebellion of the demon clan, people like Eagle Changkong, Jiaoming and others, even if the dragon king was weak, they still did not give up, which can see the loyalty of the people of the demon clan.
Some people may say that since they are so loyal, why did they betray the Demon Emperor in the first place?
They did not betray the Demon Emperor, because they were not loyal to the Demon Emperor in the first place, but to the Dragon King.
At this time, Yun Tianqing retorted: "These are all your side words, our human race is not familiar with the demon race, so if you want everyone to completely let down their guard, it is almost impossible! Even if our ten major forces forcibly intervene, I am afraid it will not be effective!"
Everyone woke up at this time, Yun Tianqing was right, the leaders of the ten major forces were more likely to accept the demon clan because they could see the benefits in it, and they were also in the know about the upcoming affairs of the demon clan, but the masses were unaware of this, and it was almost impossible for them to completely accept the demon clan.
"That's right, Sect Master Yun has a reason for this! Although we are all the lords of a state, we can't ignore the people's hearts in vain!" Cao Shiyuan, the sect leader of the Guiyuan Sect, echoed.
Master Xuanchi and Ji Ming also nodded slightly.
Li Chengfeng didn't say anything, just looked around, as if he wanted to follow the crowd, there were many people who agreed over there, so he should go with that side.
Yan Wuji didn't say a word, although he had a conflict with Yun Tianqing, he couldn't deny that Yun Tianqing was reasonable.
Gu Chen frowned slightly.
Seeing the Sword Immortal looking at him again, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, don't look at me, Yun Tianqing's words resonated with everyone, and I have nothing to say!
Gu Chen shook his head slightly at the Sword Immortal.
The Sword Immortal was suddenly a little disappointed.
Then, the sword immortal said helplessly: "Since this is the case, let's maintain a cooperative relationship with the demon clan for the time being! After the battle with the demon clan is over, we will discuss whether to carry out the next step of development according to the relationship between the two clans!"
"Sword Immortal Wise!" everyone said in unison.
The Sword Immortal pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Then we will continue to discuss the cooperation between the two clans! Regarding the matter of cooperation, it can be defined as two points, one of which is to form an alliance and face the demon clan together in the future! Do you have any opinions on this?"
"No opinion!" Everyone replied one after another, having the demon clan to help deal with the demon clan is naturally a good thing that cannot be sought, and a fool will refuse.
The Sword Immortal nodded and continued: "The second is the exchange of resources, and each takes what he needs in the form of trade, which is mutually beneficial!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, this is the topic they are most concerned about, resources are always the target pursued by all forces, the more resources they control, the faster the development of the forces.
Doing business with the Yuezhou Demon Clan, the benefits are very huge, and other forces have long wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Sword Immortal continued: "Originally, Yuezhou began to trade with the demon clan as early as two years ago, and the demon clan's royal family only recognized the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in Yuezhou! ”
When everyone heard this, they all praised Gu Chenyi for being selfless and selfless, except for Yun Tianqing, of course.
The Sword Immortal continued: "Sect Master Gu proposes to trade with the Demon Clan in the form of a mutual market!
"What is the mutual market?" At this time, Cao Shiyuan, the sect leader of the Guiyuan Sect, asked.
The Sword Immortal looked at Gu Chen and said to him, "Sect Master Gu, it's up to you to talk to everyone about this matter!"
Gu Chen nodded, then got up and said, "The mutual market, to put it bluntly, is a large trading market, specifically for commercial trade between the two clans! Merchants of the two clans can trade freely in the mutual market. The manager of the mutual market will maintain the security of the mutual market and witness every transaction to ensure fair trade between the two parties. Of course, managing the mutual market is laborious, so every transaction will pay 3% of the fee to the mutual market. ”
Everyone is a smart person, and in Gu Chen's words, they can understand what kind of institution this mutual market is.
"So, Sect Leader Gu thinks that who is more suitable to be the manager of the mutual market?" At this time, Sect Master Ji Ming asked Gu Chen with a smile.
Gu Chen smiled back at it and said, "The mutual market will be set up on the eastern coast of Yuezhou, and its administrator is naturally our Pantheistic Sect!"
"Hmph, why?" Yun Tianqing snorted coldly and asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled indifferently: "First, Yuezhou has a trading basis with the demon clan. Second, Yuezhou is close to the East China Sea Islands. Third, the royal family of the demon clan currently only recognizes the Dawn Chamber of Commerce in Yuezhou, if this seat does not let go, the demon clan will not recognize you!"
Everyone was in deep thought when they heard this.
At this time, Cao Shiyuan, the sect leader of the Guiyuan Sect, said to Gu Chen with a smile on his face: "Sect Master Gu, since you also said that managing the mutual market is laborious, then why don't you let us share it with your Pantheistic Sect? With the support of one more party's forces, won't the security of the mutual market be more guaranteed? Otherwise, if something happens, your Pantheistic Sect will be unable to support it alone, and if the merchants of all parties suffer heavy losses, your Pantheistic Sect will have an unshirkable responsibility, and if it is not done well, it will cause contradictions between the human race and the demon race! What do you think?"
"Oh, Sect Master Cao's words seem to be a bit threatening!" Gu Chen said as he looked at Cao Shiyuan with a strange expression.
