Chapter 1562

Ye Zhangqing had really been frightened by the discussions these past two days; he went every day, and each time they talked about the same thing, but each time there was no definite result in the end.

Yet this matter couldn't be resolved, and it seemed still not enough.

Ye Zhangqing really wanted to say, "I'm just a cook; why do you insist I go do something?"

However, under Bai Hua Xianzi's coaxing and trickery, Ye Zhangqing eventually had no choice but to come to the main hall.

At this moment, aside from Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, Hong Zun and others who were in closed-door cultivation, all the peak masters and elders had gathered.

Everyone came to their seats with furrowed brows and sat down.

In the main hall of Dao Yi Shengdi, all the peak masters and the chief elder each had their own designated seats.

And Ye Zhangqing's seat was positioned relatively forward, with Bai Hua Xianzi and Jueying on his left and right.

After taking his seat, a steward respectfully poured tea beside him, and Ye Zhangqing quickly assumed the meditative posture of eyes watching the nose, nose watching the heart.

Soon after, Yun Xiantai arrived, and everyone resumed the discussion.

After the previous three days of discussion, everyone had gained something; first was the selection of the target.

In Zhu Tian Wan Jie, there are few forces on par with the demon tribe and the Human Emperor's Palace; and in everyone's view, the most assured—or the top priority target—is undoubtedly the Yongye organization.

After all, Yun Xiantai and the others had previously been in contact with the Yongye organization, so they were relatively more familiar.

Of course, this familiarity doesn't go far; at most it's just knowing some members of the Yongye organization.

But now, how to persuade the Yongye organization—that is the real problem.

Everyone was exchanging opinions, but Ye Zhangqing never spoke from start to finish.

Just as everyone was discussing, the steward who had been standing beside Yun Xiantai suddenly saw a token on his person light up.

He then whispered to Yun Xiantai.

"Old Ancestor, Ancestor Qiu Baiyi and Ancestor Bai Xian'er have returned."

"Oh? That fast."

Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er had previously gone to the Medicine King Realm, with the purpose of bringing back the Ancient Emperor Mark Pill.

Upon hearing that the two women had returned, Yun Xiantai was naturally pleased and immediately stopped attending to the discussion.

He rose and said to everyone.

"You continue discussing, see if there's any good solution; Elder Changqing, come with me for a moment."

Taking Ye Zhangqing, they left the main hall; soon, in Yun Xiantai's dong fu, Ye Zhangqing saw the safely returned Bai Xian'er and Qiu Baiyi.

Upon seeing Qiu Baiyi, Ye Zhangqing was naturally pleased as well.

The two women actually encountered no danger on this journey, and smoothly brought back the Ancient Emperor Mark Pill.

The Medicine King Pavilion side was also agreeable; aside from the Pavilion Master wanting to win over Bai Xian'er, there was nothing else.

However, Bai Xian'er obviously would not agree; without hesitation, she refused outright.

This left the Medicine King Pavilion Master feeling resentful; this was originally supposed to be our Medicine King Pavilion's offering.

After handing over the Ancient Emperor Mark Pill to Yun Xiantai, Yun Xiantai expressed heartfelt thanks.

Although this ancient emperor pattern pill still cannot solve the troubles of Haotu Shijie, at least it can give a bit more hope.

Carefully keep this ancient emperor pattern pill, Yun Xiantai told the three.

"Come back and rest well, Ye Zhangqing kid, you too; since Qiu Baiyi has returned, you should keep her company, and you don't need to attend the later meetings."

Yun Xiantai can see clearly that Ye Zhangqing simply doesn't like participating in whatever meetings.

After saying that, Yun Xiantai smiled and waved at the three, but the weariness on Yun Xiantai's face could not be concealed.

Seeing Yun Xiantai like that, Ye Zhangqing also felt conflicted.

He naturally knows Yun Xiantai's feelings, but the people of Huánggōng actually shouldn't be killed; yet the other side has already been riding on their heads, mocking them in every way—if they still don't act, is that still the character of Dao Yi Shengdi?

Thus, killing those people of Huánggōng was correct.

Ye Zhangqing also didn't think Yun Xiantai had done wrong.

But since the people have already been killed, the ensuing consequences must naturally be borne.

But the current problem is that Qi Xiong and Wu Shou are in closed-door cultivation, and facing the demon tribe and Huánggōng, all the pressure has fallen on Yun Xiantai.

He must come up with a plan to deal with the threat of these two major forces.

Who knows when the demon tribe and Huánggōng will suddenly descend upon Haotu Shijie.

Knowing Yun Xiantai's hardship, after a moment of silence, Ye Zhangqing suddenly spoke.

"Old Ancestor, let me try a trip to Yongye; there should be a chance."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Yun Xiantai, Qiu Baiyi, and Bai Xian'er all stared in shock—this shouldn't have come from Ye Zhangqing's mouth.

This guy is someone who absolutely won't stand when he can sit, and absolutely won't sit when he can lie down—when have you ever seen him voluntarily take on work?

Usually he avoids work whenever he can, so what's gotten into him today?

Facing the three's gazes, Ye Zhangqing also gave a helpless wry smile—after all, he is the chief elder of Dao Yi Shengdi, isn't he?

Being lazy usually is just his nature, but when the Sect's survival is at stake, can he really remain aloof?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yun Xiantai looked at Ye Zhangqing with a complex expression.

He naturally understands Ye Zhangqing's meaning, relying on Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, plus some other conditions, there is a chance to persuade the leader of the Yongye organization.

Of course, the most crucial part is still Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì.

So, from this perspective, Ye Zhangqing is indeed the most suitable candidate, though there is danger involved.

After thinking it over, Yun Xiantai still felt it was not okay—too dangerous—and was about to refuse, but Ye Zhangqing spoke first.

"Old Ancestor, besides me going, there is no other choice."

Others going would be meaningless; the chance of successfully persuading Yongye is too low, and even if persuaded, the price would likely be more than Haotu Shijie could bear.

Only Ye Zhangqing himself going will work.

But..................

Yun Xiantai also understands this principle, but he is worried, ah.

"Don't worry, I'll have Baiyi and Bai Xian'er accompany me."

Ye Zhangqing spoke up to comfort.

Qiu Baiyi is my daughter-in-law, needless to say; Bai Xian'er is relatively familiar with the Yongye organization, so bringing her along is also convenient.

Moreover, both women have Emperor Sovereign cultivation; with them protecting along the way, ordinary dangers can be easily handled.

Moreover, don't forget, Ye Zhangqing himself now also has Great Emperor cultivation; he's no weakling, and can be considered a strong party.

It's just because of his cooking skills that many people overlook his combat ability.

But actually, Ye Zhangqing's combat ability is now not weak.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Yun Xiantai fell into silence; this is the best choice, but...........

"Little Zhangqing, if Yongye doesn't agree, what do we do if we still have to detain you?"

"There's nothing in this world that's absolutely certain, and I have a way to deal with it; old ancestor, just rest assured."

"Let me go."

Ye Zhangqing looked seriously at Yun Xiantai, his eyes full of determination.
