165: Entanglement of interests
It was late at night, and the hustle and bustle of Whitewater City ushered in the quietest time of the day, the streets lined with shops were silent, and a breeze from time to time also revealed a faint coldness. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
Outside Whitewater City, the battle was already going on, and between the spells erupting, the dark night seemed like a vast sea of stars with bright stars.
The sounds of fighting and screams still resounded under the vast night sky, and wave after wave of demonic beasts were like stormy waves like a raging wind and waves, and the fierce and turbulent impact of the crumbling defensive barrier of Whitewater City.
The roars and running sounds were like thousands of horses passing by, causing the earth to tremble for them.
In a meeting hall in White Water City, the heads of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance led by the Seven Great Sects of the Song Kingdom also gathered together because of the troubled children of the Demon Beasts, although because of their arrival, White Water City got a chance to breathe, but the situation was still not optimistic.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was also quite solemn and depressing, and the sighs were even more intense, and the more than a dozen people sitting around a table were all full of sadness.
Sitting on the main seat was a man wearing a sky-blue celestial silk shirt, a pale blue python belt tied around his waist, long dark red hair, a pair of worried phoenix eyes, a slender body, and Sven was elegant, fresh and handsome.
Judging from the dragon pattern on his cuffs, it should be a monk of the Tianyan Sect, after slowly glancing at the dozens of monks sitting around and walking around, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and asked a little helplessly: "You should be well aware of the number of demonic beasts in Baishui City, these demonic beasts are from unknown sources, and there is a tendency to intensify, with our current manpower, we may only be able to support it for less than half a month, what do you think about this?"
Sitting on the right side of the man was wearing a dark blue plain soft satin jacket, with a yellow dragon-patterned gentry belt tied around his waist, with a pair of unfathomable eyes, a strong and powerful figure, a big man, as soon as the man's words fell, he immediately spoke.
"I don't think there's any need for everyone to waste the resources of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in this small Baishui City, you must know that the Xiling in the north and the Mulan alien race in the south have already been eyeing my Song Kingdom, if you delay time in this small Baishui City at this time, you should withdraw from here as soon as possible to recuperate and recharge your strength to prevent the invasion of the alien race. β
Dahan said that he was the head of the way, judging from his clothes, he should be a member of the Cangbei Three Corpses Sect.
In the Three Corpses Sect, Baishui City is more than thousands of miles, and their vested interests in Baishui City are naturally minimal, so they are naturally unwilling to waste their financial resources and manpower in the small city of Baishui City.
Sure enough, after the big man finished speaking, Bai Huaji and Liu Chengfeng, the ancestors of the Bai family who were sitting at the end, immediately couldn't sit still, Baishui City was the foundation of the two Bailiu families, and today, when the resources for cultivating immortals in the immortal cultivation world were gradually scarce, they were naturally unwilling to give up Baishui City, the only place where the continuation of the family could be preserved.
The first to get up was Bai Huaji, the ancestor of the Bai family, who was wearing an ink-colored scattered flower brocade robe and a black-colored lychee belt tied around his waist.
At this time, he didn't care about his identity or identity, he patted the table with a blow beard and glared, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Equatorial Friend's words are wrong, if the Immortal Cultivation Alliance gives up Baishui City at this time, there are still demonic beasts raging, and if you don't eliminate the surging demonic beasts, maybe it won't be long before the second Baishui City disaster will appear, dare to ask Equatorial Friend, at that time, what will you plan." β
Because the words of the big man had already hit the life gate of the Bai family, he was also quite excited when he spoke, sitting opposite Bai Huaji, wearing a brocade brocade robe, with a stone blue python pattern jade belt tied around his waist, and Liu Chengfeng, who had a pair of unfathomable tiger eyes, also stood up immediately, and slowly saluted the man sitting on the main seat.
"Deacon Xu, the white old monster is right, now the Warcraft is turbulent, if it is not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the trouble of the Warcraft will spread quickly, and then I am afraid it will not be as easy to deal with as it is in Baishui City now. β
As soon as Liu Chengfeng's voice fell, he sat in the first row on the right side of the man surnamed Xu, wearing a chestnut brocade gown, a navy blue Shiman pattern belt tied around his waist, flowing hair, a straight figure, and a pair of dark and deep peach blossom eyes.
"The words of the Liu family master are good, Baishui City must be defended, if the disaster of the demonic beast expands, the demonic beast is likely to endanger the mortal world, and the world will not be in chaos at that time. β
"Deacon Zhang is right, we can't just give up the first line of defense against the wanton Warcraft in Whitewater City, if not, we will report to the alliance and let the alliance send more manpower. β
The middle-aged man sitting on the side of the man surnamed Zhang immediately echoed the words of the man surnamed Zhang, with a hint of flattery in his tone, and at the same time showed an unending spirit.
"Hmph, what the two of you said is easy, now that the alien invasion is imminent, what will the alliance give us support, the two of you are just for the opportunity to open up in three years, and defend Baishui City, you can say that it is easy, if the alien invasion of Xiling in the north, wouldn't my Cangbei monk be homeless because of this small Baishui City. β
Seeing the man surnamed Zhang and the middle-aged man singing and harmonizing, the old man in black sitting in the first row on the left couldn't help but snort coldly, and after glancing at the two of them mockingly, he directly broke the hypocrisy of the two, and there was no taboo, and the thoughts of the two people were immediately pierced.
As soon as the old man in black spoke, the man surnamed Zhang trembled angrily and pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything, in fact, the reason why everyone except the Liu and Bai families rushed to Baishui City was because of the immortal cultivation resources in the worry-free room.
At this time, there is still a year before the time for the opening of the Worry-free Room, as long as they stay here for a year, they can wait for the once-in-a-century Worry-free Room to open, which is a tacit secret within the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.
And the man surnamed Zhang and the big man are Cangnan monks at a glance, because of the geographical advantage, they have a certain advantage in the number of people who enter the Sanssouci room, but the old man in black is the Cangbei evil monk at a glance, and they also covet the immortal cultivation resources in the Sanssouci room, but because Baishui City is too far away from Cangbei, so between the pay and the gain, there is a big gap between them and the Cangnan monks.
In the case of an imbalance between giving and receiving, no one would be willing to make a wedding dress for others, not to mention the supremacy of interests in the immortal cultivation world with scarce resources, the so-called misery in their mouths is just a gorgeous excuse for them to seek benefits.
After the old man in black finished speaking, the chamber fell silent again, and everyone's face showed an uncertain expression, as if they were thinking about something.
The man surnamed Xu saw that everyone was silent, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and turned his head to look at the second row on the right, wearing an indigo dark flower Tianxiang silk placket cotton suit, wearing a three-inlaid gold water grass pattern tulle plain face. The woman with her hair in a chic cloud sideburns, a high bun, and a satin mesh ribbon sprinkled with flowers on her waist asked.
"Li Daoyou, what do you think?"
The man's question immediately turned everyone's attention to the woman, because this woman's identity was the representative of the third major sect of the Song Kingdom, Elder Lizhu of the Kaiyang Sect.
At this time, at this time, the good and evil of Cangbei and Cangnan are divided into two groups, if they continue to be entangled, it will only make the trouble of Warcraft worse, this point, the man surnamed Xu is very clear.
Although he was the main person in charge of this rush to aid Baishui City, the situation in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance was very complicated, and the relationship was even more complicated, even if he was the representative of the first major sect of the Song Kingdom, the Tianyan Sect, he did not dare to immediately state his position.
He must take care of the interests of everyone, the most important of which is the vested interests of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, otherwise, even if he sits down and decides, it is impossible to get specific implementation.
If he was defending against an alien invasion, he didn't need to be so careful, after all, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance was all from the Song Kingdom, but in the face of a situation like Baishui City, if the interests could not be balanced, the final result would likely cause a dispute between the north and the south.
The two realms of good and evil are caught in endless infighting, this situation is not uncommon in the long history of the immortal cultivation world, and now the Xiling and Mulan alien races are also eyeing the Song Kingdom, and the man surnamed Xu naturally does not dare to make any decisions.
And the man surnamed Zhang represents Cangfeng City, the second largest sect in the Song Kingdom, and his meaning is already very clear, that is, to guard Baishui City and wait for the opening of the worry-free room, and the old man in black is from the Xuanmo Cave in Cangbei, and his meaning is also very clear.
If there are not enough benefits, they are not willing to waste time in Baishui City, the Xuan Demon Cave is the head of the evil path, and the meaning of the old man in black can represent the thoughts of the Cangbei monks.
At this time, as one of the three major sects in Cangnan, the Kaiyang Sect naturally became the key to the intentions of both sides, if the Kaiyang Sect advocated defending to the death, then even if the three evil sects withdrew, they could wait until the worry-free time opened, if the Kaiyang Sect advocated evacuation, then it would not be difficult for the Tianyan Sect and Cangfeng City to hold Baishui City alone.
It is precisely because of this that everyone attaches great importance to Lizhu's decision, and everyone looks at Lizhu with bated breath, especially Liu Chengfeng and Bai Huaji, the expressions on their faces are very nervous, clasping their hands tightly, and their deep eyes are full of infinite expectation.
Li Zhu has always lived in a simple place in the Kaiyang Sect, and she is quite indifferent to power, and the reason why he led the team this time is precisely because of her character, after the five major deacons were dismissed, the head of the Kaiyang Sect will use her, a person with an indifferent nature, to preside over the overall situation of the Kaiyang Sect in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.
However, although Li Zhu is indifferent by nature, and has lived in seclusion for many years, her understanding of the human feelings and sophistication of the immortal cultivation world is naturally profound, and when she saw the man surnamed Xu throwing a hot potato at herself, she couldn't help but smile slightly, sipped, glanced at everyone and said: "Everything in Kaiyang Sect is arranged by Deacon Xu." β
"Old fox-" The man surnamed Xu couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart when he heard that Li Zhu threw the problem back, and then sighed secretly, and said straight to the point: "Whether to go or stay, everyone has a plan in their hearts, and what they care about is only the quota in the worry-free room, since the words are all said, then everyone who is doing it will talk about their requirements!"
As soon as the man surnamed Xu said this, the quiet meeting hall immediately began to be lively, and the voices of quarrels suddenly rose one after another, and everyone hoped to fight for a few places for their sect.
After a fierce competition, a basic agreement was finally reached within the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, each of the seven major sects could have the qualifications of ten people when it was opened, and the second-rate sects had the qualifications of three people, and the Bai family and the Liu family each got five places because of the geographical advantage.
Although the result was very unsatisfactory for the second-rate sect, it was not bad to be able to get three of the limited entry slots in the worry-free room.
Since then, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance's passive defense has turned into an active offense, and the battlefield has become more intense.
