Zhao Bailian didn't expect Bai Haijing's reaction to be so big, she was suddenly dumbfounded, and her heart couldn't help but recall the old images that were lingering in her mind at this moment, however, the past is the past after all, whether it is the person in front of him or the things that are about to happen, after he made up his mind and turned away, he changed the original development trajectory, and those who should have belonged to him were as beautiful as ordinary people, but this was not to blame anyone, because this was the cause and effect that he had to bear after making such a choice。

Zhao Bailian sighed in her heart, thinking bitterly, "She shouldn't have been like this." However, she in front of her had long been so real and cold, and had become the biggest enemy of his Lotus Sect. In the end, Zhao Bailian just nodded with a gloomy expression, and took the initiative to back down and said: "The master of Baizhuang is serious, it is Zhao who has offended the owner of Baizhuang by doing this, and I hope that the owner of Baizhuang Haihan." ”

Bai Haijing saw that he took the initiative to soften, so she snorted coldly and sat down without saying anything more, but the tea table next to her turned into a pile of broken sawdust at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Bailian had to order the disciples in the door to replace it with a new tea case and tea, and then he pondered for a while, then he got up and said to Ye Jiawen and Bai Haijing who were present: "Since the two of them have already put forward their own conditions, Zhao should discuss with the elders in the door as soon as possible to ensure that they can give the two of them a final answer in the fastest time." ”

Immediately, he glanced up at the sky, and then said: "Today's time is not early, Zhao has already ordered people to arrange a place for the three sect masters and their disciples, why don't the three sect masters go down to rest first, and then we will discuss it on time the day after tomorrow, how about it?"

When the three of them heard this, they had no objections, especially Wu Shixing, he had just received some benefits before he came to go through the motions, anyway, as long as he could fulfill his part and complete their Chenyang Sect's obligations in this spring hunt, it would be enough.

So, only Ye Jiawen arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then Ye will wait for Sect Master Zhao's final reply." ”

......

Watching the disciples of the three sects slowly walk into the downhill road, Zhao Bailian turned her head and said to the four Supreme Elders behind her, "I'll also go to the meditation hall to discuss and discuss!"

Hearing that it was another meditation hall, Song Yu and Feng Yuanshan, who were present, inevitably felt a little stunned in their hearts, but this was originally a place specially established by the sect to discuss major matters, and they did not dare to have any objections to it.

Zhao Bailian sat on the main seat of the meditation hall and asked straight to the point, "What is the opinion of the four elders on their sky-high price this time?"

When the four of them heard this, they all looked at each other for a while, and no one answered, and after Zhao Bailian saw it, he continued: "Since it is a discussion, the four elders will say everything they want directly, and this sect will not pursue anything for this. ”

Hearing Zhao Bailian say this, Song Yu hesitated for a moment, then pretended to cough and said slowly: "That...... The old man felt that if they were really willing to return all the items that had been lost from my Lotus Sect, in fact, the conditions they proposed this time were still equal, or ......."

"Elder Song, what are these words, can't you hear it, they are exchanging my Lotus Sect's things for my Lotus Sect's things? No matter whether we win or lose in this spring hunt, what have they lost?" Seeing Song Yu speaking first, and in his tone as if he wanted to nod his head in agreement, Han Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted with an ugly face.

When Song Yu heard this, his face was undoubtedly a little unbearable, and he also said in a deep voice: "Having said that, Elder Han must understand that if we miss such a great opportunity this time, then they may not be able to offer such favorable conditions for our sect in the next spring hunt." ”

When Han Yu heard this, he didn't argue anything, but asked in a cold voice: "Listening to Elder Song's meaning, is this a way to let go and win, with all due respect to Han's bluntness, Elder Song is so sure that he can win this spring hunt?

Song Yu forcibly said: "If you don't try, how can you know the final result?"

When Han Yu heard the other party's words of a scoundrel who had no sense of responsibility and was full of luck, he was immediately furious, "You are simply ......."

But before he could spit out the swear words in his mouth, Zhao Bailian saw the stitches and hurriedly said, "Elder Han, since it is a matter of deliberation, be careful and calm, you don't have to take it too seriously. ”

Han Yu felt the sincerity in Zhao Bailian's tone, and instantly understood that the other party was trying to prevent things from starting to deteriorate first among his own people, so he had to swallow the angry words that had reached his mouth, but although he didn't scold Song Yu, he still couldn't bear the anger in his stomach, so he said coldly to Zhao Bailian's hatred of iron and steel: " Sect Master, what Elder Song said just now, you also heard it, such a big matter is related to the survival of my Lotus Sect, if you are not completely sure, how can you just try it with a fluke mentality as he said?"

When Song Yu heard this, he didn't care, and continued to argue: "My Lotus Sect has been in a backward position since the beginning of the spring hunt, and among the disciples of this session, there are finally some quite amazing materials that can be made, if you don't take this opportunity to fight once, when will you wait?"

Zhao Bailian was about to make a sarcastic remark when she saw Han Yu, but she was the first to snatch the words and said to him: "Okay, I already have some understanding of the thoughts of the two elders, so let's listen to the different opinions of Elder Feng and Elder Wang first." He glanced at the two of them and asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Chu said bluntly: "I have the same opinion as Elder Han, if my sect loses again in this spring hunt, it will really be a catastrophe, thinking that my Lotus Sect, when the five generations of sect masters are in place, it is not an exaggeration to call it the first major sect in the Five States Continent, but now I want to see the eyes of third-rate sects such as Yunlan Sect and White Crane Sword Village, it is simply unreasonable, in my opinion, it is better for the sect master to simply deny them, I want to see if they have the courage to blatantly attack my Lotus Sect." ”

Hearing Wang Chu's words, the four people present undoubtedly turned dark, and this was completely angry.

You must know that the White Crane Sword Zhuang already has an indissolvable hatred with the Lotus Sect, if it weren't for the fact that they were really afraid of Zhao Bailian's strength and didn't want their own people to suffer too heavy losses, they would have joined forces with the Yunlan Sect to attack the Lotus Sect a long time ago.

As for why the Yunlan Sect wanted to get involved in this matter?

After so many years of forbearance and investigation, Zhao Bailian was also faintly about to find out their intentions, because he found out the deep background from the market that secretly supported the Yunlan Sect behind his back through the means of following the vine and finding melons, which is why Zhao Bailian said to Xu Yan that night that even among the disciples of the four sects of the Lotus Sect, there were some people who belonged to other sects. But in fact, it is far more than that, because some of them are not even from the secret chess that is constantly inserted in like Yunlan Sect, but directly from the forces behind the Yunlan Sect, but because the time has not yet come, Zhao Bailian doesn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't say it directly.

However, what I can't wait for is that at this moment, this sense of crisis is finally infinitely approaching, originally Zhao Bailian still felt that he could delay for a few more years, but when he heard the unreasonable request made by Bai Haijing and Ye Jiawen at the same time at this spring hunt, he instantly understood, and the other party also seized the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

For example, the ten places that may change the fate of the Lotus Sect, or the fact that he directly began to cede the land of the Mountain Gate, and the other party still wants to take advantage of the favorable environment of the Seven Star Pier. Cultivating a powerful sword cultivator was undoubtedly planned by them in advance, and it was also an important means for them to continue to weaken the Lotus Sect in the next few years, and once their strength caught up with the Lotus Sect again, they would undoubtedly really have the capital to completely tear their faces with Zhao Bailian, and once that time came, they would definitely join forces to attack the Lotus Peak and replace the Lotus Sect.

Just imagine, at that time, how could the Lotus Sect at that time, with Zhao Bailian, a sword cultivator of the upper three realms, be able to resist the attack under their joint efforts?

The battle among cultivators is different from the gang struggle among mortals in the market after all, the number of people at the bottom cannot affect the final result at all, and the winner or loser of everything still depends on which side has more real masters invested in the battle, after all, a sword cultivator who has stepped into the upper three realms to attack and kill the way is simply too terrifying.

Feng Yuanshan sighed, he knew that he would never be able to escape Zhao Bailian's questioning, so he followed Wang Chu's words and said helplessly: "Elder Wang's love for the sect is true, but it would be good if the result was as simple as you said, if it was twenty years ago, you said so, Feng still thought it was feasible, but now the Yunlan Sect and the White Crane Sword Village, even if they are the strength of their own faction, they will not be much inferior to my Lotus Sect, Elder Wang has ever thought that once they are angry and really join forces to attack the mountain, can we bear it?"

Wang Chu has an upright personality, and he is most disgusted with the tone of being arrogant and self-defeating, or growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige, so he stretched his neck and roared angrily: "Otherwise, is it possible to achieve such a wretched and let them slaughter it? My Wang Chu's head can be broken, blood can flow, and it is a big deal to die in battle, it is better than looking at the flesh and blood of the sect, which is lost from my hands little by little!"

After Wang Chu finished speaking, he directly said to Zhao Bailian: "Sect Master, let's fight with them, as a disciple of my Lotus Sect, there is a big disaster, why are you afraid of a battle?"

Seeing this, Feng Yuanshan couldn't help but feel a big headache, so he had to continue to dissuade and said, "Elder Wang, why is this happening, things are far from the point where it is necessary to be so tense and desperate!"

"Then what do you think, why don't you speak up?"

"Feng Mou feels that Elder Song's words are not completely unreasonable, you know, among the disciples of my sect, there are indeed many talents, especially the personal disciple of the sect master, who defeated Zhou Xian's nephew who entered the middle three realms with his three-story cultivation, how can it be said that there is no chance in this spring hunt?"

When Wang Chu heard this, he didn't think about it and said, "I said that Elder Feng could have any good ideas, but I never thought that it was a bad idea that was said like this!"

Feng Yuanshan turned to Zhao Bailian and said, "Sect Master, this time the Yunlan Sect and the White Crane Sword Village are menacing, plus there is that Chenyang Sect watching from the side, we simply don't allow our sect to refuse, we really have to agree to their conditions!"

Zhao Bailian saw that they exchanged words in a circle, and then went back to the starting point, and on her always calm face, she couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, but whether this smile was a sneer or a happy smile, the four people present all knew it.

Zhao Bailian said in a cold voice: "Since the four elders don't have any good opinions, then let this matter be decided by the sect alone, okay, you all disperse!"

When Song Yu and Feng Yuanshan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, they still walked out of the meditation hall one after another, while Han Yu and Wang Chu were indifferent, but obviously on their faces, they could still see a strong anger and injustice.

After Song Yu and the others left completely, Han Yu couldn't help but ask, "But the sect master just agreed to their request?"

Zhao Bailian's eyes were gloomy, and she shook her head slowly, but did not answer.

......

In the blink of an eye, another day passed quietly.

Approaching the sub-time.

On the No. 1 main peak of Little Lotus Peak, in the Jade Heart Pavilion where Song Yu himself lived, a rare guest was ushered in, but to say that he was a rare guest was actually not counted, because he was the Yunlan Sect Master with a very ordinary face, Ye Jiawen.

At this moment, in the Jade Heart Pavilion, there were four men sitting, led by Song Yu, followed by his only son Song Qing, then Ye Jiawen, and the last person was the ordinary elder who had a dispute with Song Yu in person before the start of the selection competition, but this person had been an elder in the Chunzi Sect for more than ten years, and his name was Zhou Manting.

Ye Jiawen greeted Zhou Manting very politely, and then said to Song Yu: "It's a shame that Elder Song has been the Lotus Sect Master for five years, and it won't be abrupt to refuse Bai Haijing's request to enter the Seven Star Pier, heh, that woman is quite ambitious, if she really gives them this opportunity to win the White Crane Sword Village, then what will my Yunlan Sect do to fight with them in the future?"

Song Yu has been in a very bad mood these days, and his heart has always been filled with an indescribable uneasiness, and he feels that it is not a wise move for the person in front of him to rashly visit the Jade Heart Pavilion during such a sensitive period, so he replied in a cold tone: "The old man is just doing things in the way that he has discussed with Sect Master Ye in advance, what does it have to do with whether the old man has ever been a sect master?"

When Ye Jiawen heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course it is related, don't Elder Song and Zhao Bailian in the Lotus Sect know the magic of the Seven Star Pier, if you don't say anything to stop it, what if Zhao Bailian directly agrees?"

Song Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Presumably, even if the sect master agrees to Bai Haijing, it doesn't matter much to Sect Master Ye, right?"

Ye Jiawen was silent for a moment, and then replied bluntly: "Elder Song can see clearly, yes, whether Zhao Bailian agrees to this matter or not, it really doesn't matter much, after all, only I, the Yunlan Sect, can win the first place in this spring hunt, as for the White Crane Sword Village, it's good if they can defend that Feiyan Ridge, why should they fight with us?"

Song Yu didn't care about his self-talk, but changed the topic coldly and said: "After this spring hunt, the old man is too old and his energy is limited, so he doesn't plan to succeed the elder of this spring character sect, so if Sect Master Ye has anything to do in the future, he doesn't have to come to the old man again." ”

After hearing this, Ye Jiawen couldn't help but look stunned, and after reacting, he asked in a cold tone: "Elder Song, do you want to break off the relationship with my Yunlan Sect, what do you say...... Isn't it too early to say?"

Song Yu looked at him directly, without the slightest intention of retreating, but said in a flat tone: "Presumably Sect Master Ye also knows that after this spring hunt, the situation of the three major sword sects in the Hundred Mountains Ancestor has basically been decided, and Zhou Xian and they are also destined to leave the Lotus Sect, if the old man does not retreat at this time, he will never be able to retreat in the future, so no matter what Sect Master Ye says, the old man has already made up his mind!"

Seeing that the other party was no longer kind, Ye Jiawen suddenly stood up, and said with a cold sneer in his eyes: "Okay, very good, it seems that Elder Song is going to protect himself, and I will definitely explain this matter to the Zhou family." Immediately, he walked out of the Jade Heart Pavilion angrily.

Song Yu glanced at Zhou Manting, who was still in the hall, and said, "What, isn't Elder Zhou still leaving?"

Zhou Manting didn't expect Song Yu to come to such a stubble suddenly, and then he also got up and said coldly: "Elder Song is only thinking about withdrawing now, maybe it's too late, right?"

Song Yu replied indifferently: "This doesn't bother Elder Zhou to worry about!"

Zhou Manting didn't say a word, but also brushed his sleeves and left, and after he left completely, Song Qingcai, who had been holding his breath in the hall, asked anxiously: "Dad, what are you going to do, do you really want to step down from the post of the Supreme Elder of the Chunzi Sect? And why don't you continue to cooperate with the Yunlan Sect? Without their support, how can my Chunzi Sect be at the top of the four factions?"

Song Yu remembered that the disciples in his hands were invisibly divided into two factions, among which an outstanding disciple like Gu Xueqing was even excluded from the outer disciples, and he knew nothing about this matter, so he couldn't get the anger in his heart, and immediately scolded Song Qing and said: "If you don't succeed enough and lose something, the old man will kill you sooner or later!"

......

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

When the sun is on the third pole, it is undoubtedly the time when Zhao Bailian said it at the beginning.

At this time, on the Lotus Sect's martial arts training square, in addition to the five tents where the heads of the four major sects were sitting, the tents were also sitting quietly for all the core disciples of the four major sects who participated in this spring hunt, a total of eighty.

Zhao Bailian waited until everyone was seated, then got up and said: "The conditions of the two sect masters before, Zhao has already discussed with the four elders, except for the quota for entering Yong'an City, we can't accept it, and my sect can promise you other conditions!"

After Ye Jiawen and Bai Haijing glanced at each other, they immediately asked in a cold voice, "What does Sect Master Zhao mean by this?"

Zhao Bailian looked at him calmly, and said bluntly: "What Zhao means is that you can only give Guizong and Baihe Sword Village, at most two places!"
