Chapter 861: Persuasion

In the council hall, Mu Yunxuan, Huang Yan, Liu Xu, Wang Changsheng, and Chen Hai were discussing something.

"The Nine Sects of the Martial Kingdom want to talk about peace, why did they suddenly propose to talk about peace?" Liu Fu said with a frown.

"I don't know, what do you fellow Daoists think? Do we want to talk about peace?" Mu Yunxuan shook his head and said calmly.

Huang Yan frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, we have killed and injured so many disciples, why do we want peace talks? Isn't it good to directly occupy the entire Martial Kingdom?"

In this battle, Wang Changsheng contributed a lot, if he negotiated peace, the territory that the Corpse Sect could get would be reduced a lot, and if he could occupy the Martial Kingdom, the Corpse Sect would be able to get the greatest benefits.

For Mu Yunxuan, Chen Hai, and Liu Wu, it is also the occupation of the military country that can get the greatest benefits.

Now the entire Dongyu Demon Dao Sect is invading the sect where the Righteous Dao Country is located, if they don't take the Martial Kingdom for a day, they won't dare to invade other countries on a large scale for a day, if the Nine Sects of the Martial Kingdom take advantage of the four sects of the Qi State to invade other countries, and send people to sneak attack the rear of the Qi Kingdom, then it will be a big trouble.

"Wang Daoyou, how long will it take?How sure are you that you can persuade the head of one of the sects?" Chen Hai turned his gaze and asked Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a while, and said: "If nothing else, there will be an answer within three days, originally there was only fifty percent of the certainty, but now that Wu Guo has proposed to negotiate peace, the certainty is two percent more." โ€

"Well, I suggest that I discuss the specifics of the peace talks with the Nine Sects of the Martial Kingdom in five days. Chen Hai nodded and opened his mouth to suggest.

The old man agreed. โ€

The concubine also agreed. โ€

"Since all the Taoist friends agree, then let's do it! Changsheng, this matter will be handed over to you, you be careful, although your supernatural powers are comparable to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, but there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, it is better to be careful. Mu Yunxuan said with some unease.

"The son-in-law understands. Wang Changsheng agreed.

In a certain exquisite attic, a middle-aged man with a resolute face was reporting something to Zhang Xi.

"Master, in this exchange of prisoners, thirty-eight disciples of this sect have returned, but according to their confessions, the day before the exchange, a high-ranking monk persuaded them to surrender, and several of them seemed to have taken refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao and were not imprisoned back in the dungeon. The middle-aged man spit out word by word.

"If there is no conclusive evidence, you can't talk nonsense, and the few disciples who have not been imprisoned back in the dungeon should be treated as missing!" Zhang Xi frowned and ordered with an indifferent expression.

"Yes, Master. The middle-aged man nodded, he immediately remembered something, and then said: "Master, my unsuccessful disciple Liu Yuan is also in the list of prisoners, he said that he has something important to meet you, and he wants to tell you personally, no matter how the disciple asks, he just refuses to say what is the matter, he is outside now, you see?"

Zhang Xi groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Liu Yuan, then call him in to meet him!"

The middle-aged man answered, turned around and walked out.

It didn't take long for him to walk in with a young man in white with a beautiful face and a high nose.

"Disciple Liu Yuan visited his ancestor. The young man in white bent down and saluted and said respectfully.

"Listen to your master, you have something important to tell the old man, there are no outsiders here, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhang Xi said lightly.

Liu Yuan hesitated slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man on the side.

"What's the matter, do you think I'm an idler?" said the middle-aged man with a look of annoyance in his eyes, and frowned.

"The disciple doesn't dare, but the stakes are very high, and the disciple can only tell the master about this matter. Liu Yuan shook his head and said calmly.

When Zhang Xi heard this, his face showed a strange expression, and after looking Liu Yuan up and down, he ordered the middle-aged man: "Song Zhe, you go down first!"

"Yes, Master. The middle-aged man forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, answered, turned away, and closed the door.

"This fellow Daoist, there is no one else here, you can just say anything you want!" Zhang Xi's face was pale, and he said with a straight face.

"Hehe, Zhang Daoyou has a good eye! Liu Yuan said with a smile.

"Wang, are you the king of the Corpse Sect?" Zhang Xi's face changed, he thought for a while, frowned and said: "What does Wang Daoyou want to say to the old man, just let Liu Yuan take the words, why bother to use the possession technique to possess my disciple." โ€

"The stakes are very high, Wang must not be like this, in addition, what is being cast under is not the art of possession, but a spell that is more clever than the art of possession, otherwise it would have been checked out just now. โ€

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Xi's eyes, and he said: "Isn't it a possession technique? Forget it, this is not important, Wang Daoyou has something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush." โ€

"Hehe, Zhang Daoyou is refreshing, I hope that Zhang Daoyou can lead all the disciples to submit to our Underworld Corpse Sect, I don't know what Zhang Daoyou wants? Zhang Daoyou don't rush to refuse, listen to the conditions below. โ€

"What conditions?" Zhang Xi asked with a gloomy face and a little tempted in his heart.

"We can assign a piece of land to Zhang Daoyou, let you settle the disciples, if Zhang Daoyou likes it, the Qingyang Mountain Range can be returned to you, we will not interfere in the affairs of Zhang Daoyou's sect, as long as Zhang Daoyou's Qingdan Sect provides a batch of immortal cultivation resources every year, I don't know what Zhang Daoyou wants?" Liu Yuan said in a seductive tone.

"Wang Daoyou is bold, but aren't you afraid that the old man will suddenly regret and attack your rear when you invade other countries? Even if Wang Daoyou is not worried about the old man repenting, but the old man is worried that Wang Daoyou will regret it, if you turn your face and don't recognize people after you take the martial country, it will be too late for the old man to regret it, I think it's better to forget it!" Zhang Xi sneered and said indifferently.

"Hehe, if Zhang Daoyou submits to our four sects of the Demon Dao, he must have a letter of nomination! If you don't have some blood on your hands, how dare we let you stay in the rear, as for Zhang Daoyou, who is worried about repentance, in fact, there is no need to worry at all, he accepted Qing'er as an apprentice, and never forced her to kill people and set fires, but helped her to marry Dan, of course, Zhang Daoyou didn't believe it, and there was no way, but I want to remind Zhang Daoyou that I didn't control more than one foundation building monk in Xia, if you don't want to, it doesn't mean that the heads of other sects are unwilling, don't hide it from Zhang Daoyou, one of your internal Yuanying monks has taken refuge in our four sects of the Demon Dao, as for who this person is, it is inconvenient to tell Zhang Daoyouใ€‚ Liu Yuan smiled and talked eloquently.

When Zhang Xi heard this, his brows furrowed, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

"To tell the truth, if I were Zhang Daoyou, I would definitely choose to return to the four sects of the Demon Dao, now that the Dongyu Cultivation Immortal Realm has become a mess, maybe only the Southern Tang Kingdom is cleaner, and the Southern Tang Kingdom is quite far away from the Martial Kingdom, if you meet other Demon Dao monks along the way, Zhang Daoyou thinks they can let you go? Instead of shrinking in the South Hall, why don't you take refuge in our four sects of the Demon Dao, our four sects of the Demon Dao are expanding their power, and they urgently need talents like Zhang Daoyou, if Zhang Daoyou is willing to take refuge in our four sects of the Demon Dao, I believe it will also be beneficial to the development of your faction, as for what some of you say about not colluding with the evil demons and foreign sects, it is simply nonsense, the world is bustling for profit, everyone is acting for the sake of interests, I don't believe that your high-level monks of the righteous path have not done evil things, so why should you be restrained in the battle of words! Of course, Zhang Daoyou can refuse with righteous words, but your refusal does not mean that others will refuse, Zhang Daoyou think about it carefully!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xi's face was a little moved.

Now the Dongyu Immortal Realm is in turmoil, except for the Southern Tang Kingdom, other countries are not stable, they are all dealing with the invasion of the Demon Dao, there is only one Yuanying monk in the Qingdan Gate, and the total number of disciples is only more than a thousand, if he migrates to the Southern Tang Kingdom, he really can't speak, and he has to pass through many warring countries along the way, if he encounters a Demon Dao monk, the other party may not let him leave with a swagger.

If it is to take refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao, the Qingdanmen can indeed take the opportunity to develop its power.

After a period of uncertainty on Zhang Xi's face, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's a good sentence that the world is bustling for profit, and the old man is willing to lead all the disciples to return to the Immortal Corpse Sect, I don't know how Wang Daoyou wants the old man to cooperate?"

"Zhang Daoyou should have been like this a long time ago, it's very simple, Zhang Daoyou opened the formation ban in the middle of the night, and sneaked in in the middle of the night in the next meeting, as long as he killed Hua Daoyou, I think the Nine Sects Alliance Army will collapse without a fight. Liu Yuan smiled and said confidently.

"Wang Daoyou is not afraid that the old man is pretending to surrender and take the opportunity to lay out a formation to ambush Wang Daoyou?" Zhang Xi said with a strange look on his face.

"It's not a lone sneak in, even if Zhang Daoyou is pretending to surrender, in a hurry, I believe that Zhang Daoyou can't quietly lay down a powerful attack formation to deal with many Yuanying monks, I also said before, among you are fellow Daoists who have taken refuge in our four sects of the Demon Dao, your every move is under our monitoring, I believe that Zhang Daoyou will not be stupid enough to tell the truth. โ€

Zhang Xi smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the old man has no other choice, but the formation is not managed by the old man, and if you want to open an opening, you need the help of Li Daoyou from the Baiqiao faction." โ€

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the door: "Tell Master, Li Daoyou from the Baiqiao Sect came to visit, saying that there is something important to discuss with you, you see?"

When Zhang Xi heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Liu Yuan with a complicated face, and said lightly: "Invite Li Daoyou in immediately." โ€

"Yes, Master. The middle-aged man responded.

"Wang Daoyou, Li Daoyou has been persuaded by you to surrender, he won't be pretending to surrender, right?" Zhang Xi raised his eyebrows and said with some concern.

"Hehe, I did persuade this person to surrender, but he didn't know that Zhang Daoyou also submitted to our four sects of the Demon Dao, Zhang Daoyou looked at it, and I believe you can handle this matter. Liu Yuan smiled and said slowly.

"You go down first! I want to talk to Li Daoyou. Zhang Xi nodded and waved his hand to command.

Liu Yuan answered, turned around and left.

It didn't take long for Li Yunfei to walk in.

"Li Daoyou, I heard that you have something important to discuss with the old man, I don't know what the important matter is?" Zhang Xi said calmly.

Li Yunfei rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Zhang Daoyou, I heard that your Qingdanmen has been subordinated to the four sects of the Demon Dao, but is there such a thing?"

"Ridiculous? Where did Li Daoyou hear the rumors?" Zhang Xi frowned and denied it.

"Hehe, but listening to what the disciples of the poor Dao sect said, the disciples of your sect were under the key care of the Hades Corpse Sect during their detention, and a disciple of the Changfeng Sect insulted a disciple surnamed Liu of your sect, and he was brutally killed, and he was also tortured day and night, if you want to say that your Qingdanmen has nothing to do with the Hades Corpse Sect, it is difficult to make people suspicious. โ€

"This is a discord, such an obvious discord, can't Li Daoyou see it?" Zhang Xi said with a cold face.

"Of course Poor Dao can see it, but sometimes, hatred can blind people's eyes, the Changfeng Sect disciple who died is Shen Yi Shen Daoyou's cousin, you say, what will he do?" Li Yunfei said with a smile.

"Even so, what is the matter? After the peace talks, our five sects will collectively evacuate the Wu Kingdom and move the sect to the Southern Tang Kingdom. โ€

When Li Yunfei heard this, his eyes rolled, he groaned slightly, and said cautiously: "Zhang Daoyou, from the perspective of poor Dao, we don't necessarily have to move the sect to the Southern Tang Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom is far away from the Southern Tang Kingdom, and there may be other dangers, perhaps, we can consider taking refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao." โ€

"Defect to the Four Sects of the Demon Dao? I'm afraid they won't accept us! What if they regret it afterwards and cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Zhang Xi said with some concern.

"Hehe, the four sects of the Demon Dao have been in a stalemate with our nine sects for so long, with countless casualties, they accept us without any harm, we can also use this to develop our own forces, as for the four sects of the Demon Dao to cross the river and tear down the bridge afterwards, the poor road is not too worried, first, let's return to the Hehuan Sect, the Hehuan Sect is the head of the four sects of the Demon Dao, if the Hehuan Sect is treacherous, other Demon Dao sects may not dare to cooperate with the Hehuan Sect, second, let's hold together, our two factions join forces, if the Hehuan Sect is treacherous, we also have to weigh the consequences, in fact, whether it is the Demon Dao or the righteous path, they all want to preach for immortality, but the way is different, our righteous path approach is milder, The practice of the Demon Dao is a little cruel, let's move the sect to the Southern Tang Kingdom, we can indeed get a respite, but with the strength of your and my two factions, I am afraid that it will be impossible to speak to go to the Southern Tang Kingdom, let alone have a good place to settle us, over time, decay is only a matter of time, rather than this, we might as well take refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao, and our own forces can be developed, not to mention, you and I may be able to go further, what does Zhang Daoyou think?" Li Yunfei smiled and asked with a smile.

"Isn't Li Daoyou afraid that the old man will go to the informant? Expose Li Daoyou's defection to the enemy? If the old man informes, even if Hua Daoyou doesn't take Li Daoyou, I'm afraid he will be closely monitored!" Zhang Xi asked with a strange look on his face.

"If it is beneficial to expose the poor way, Zhang Daoyou can just go and expose it! Li Yunfei said righteously.

Zhang Xi groaned for a while, nodded and said: "Since Li Daoyou looks up to the old man, then the old man will join the four sects of the Demon Dao with Li Daoyou! โ€

Li Yunfei shook his head and said, "Don't, don't, their strength is much stronger than ours, if they also follow the four sects of the Demon Dao, then what else is there to do with us! Besides, they have made it clear that they are not willing to take refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao, so don't tell them about this matter!" It's enough for the two of us to take refuge in the four sects of the Demon Dao together, there are already people on the Demon Dao side who have contacted the poor Dao, they suggest opening the ban in the middle of the night, let them sneak into the city, and kill the flower friends, as long as the flower friends die, the Nine Nations Alliance will collapse without a fight, and at that time, it will be time for us to behave, the Demon Dao side said, if you want them to accept us, you want them to kill the flower friends when you vote, what does Zhang Daoyou think?"

"Okay! Just do what Li Daoyou said. Zhang Xi was silent for a while, sighed lightly, and nodded and said.

When Li Yunfei heard this, his face showed a strong joy.
