Chapter 2188: They are merely strong on the outside but weak within

Facing the major powers' extremely humiliating attitude, this Li family elder's body couldn't help trembling with anger.

Fortunately, the other elder beside him noticed and quickly stopped him from speaking further.

Now is not the time to argue about these things.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, it was obvious that the people of the major powers still secretly favored the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Under these circumstances, continuing to argue was meaningless and could even harm the family.

Since they had already given up everything, if in the end they failed to protect the family due to a momentary anger, then all their previous efforts would have been wasted.

For now, they could only swallow this resentment and wait for a later time to discuss it further.

While stopping his own brother, he spoke to the people of the major powers present.

"Good, I will have Xu Jie sent over now, and I hope the Dao One Immortal Sect will also keep its promise and release my family members."

"Fine, upon seeing Xu Jie, I will naturally release the person."

In response, Qi Xiong simply nodded.

Immediately, this Li family elder, in front of everyone, without knowing whom he contacted, simply had the other party bring Xu Jie to Wuji Xiancheng.

Thus, the negotiation was considered successfully concluded.

However, this outcome differed somewhat from expectations; both the Second Ancestor of Ultimate Bliss Palace and the two Li family elders felt a surge of anger inside.

Meanwhile, after the dust settled, the people of the major powers surprisingly gathered around Ye Zhangqing, apologetically saying:

"Ye Xiaoyou, we too had no choice this time; please understand."

"Yes, we too were forced by circumstances; if Ye Xiaoyou has any requests in the future, just speak up, and the Wang Family will certainly not refuse what we can do."

"And I, too."

Watching these people flock around Ye Zhangqing to flatter him, the Second Ancestor of Ultimate Bliss Palace, who had not yet left, was already fuming, blowing his beard and glaring.

In his heart he furiously cursed, "What a bunch of spineless things; what did they say before coming?"

"Had I known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come."

With anger pent up and nowhere to vent, the Second Ancestor of Ultimate Bliss Palace could only glance at the equally furious two Li family elders and let out a cold snort, saying:

"Hmph, trash."

"Huh???"

"Being scolded for no reason, the two Li family elders were bewildered, then likewise looked at the Second Ancestor of Ultimate Bliss Palace with eyes full of anger."

"To ask the other side to intervene, our Li family had paid a huge price; now things have turned out like this, and yet they dare to scold us?"

"However, the Second Ancestor of Ultimate Bliss Palace paid no heed to their anger, continuing to grumble."

"\"What are you looking at? Saying you're trash is already giving you too much credit; get lost. \""

"Saying this, he flicked his sleeve and left straight away, unable to bear the sight of those people's faces."

"Pah, a bunch of fawning petty people."

"As for Ye Zhangqing, faced with the flattery of the major powers, he responded with a smile to each."

"One could see no anger in him, but this matter certainly wouldn't be over so easily."

"After waiting a day in Wuji Xiancheng, Xu Jie was only brought back to Wuji Xiancheng that night."

"He had changed into clean clothes, his injuries had been healed, and he appeared to be fine."

"Qi Xiong also, according to the agreement, released the Li family members."

"Just as the family members had reunited, before they could say anything, the people of the major powers urged them on."

"\"Since the people have been released, hurry up and leave; don't come to Wuji Xiancheng unless necessary. \""

"\"In my opinion, even if you have business, don't come; from now on, Wuji Xiancheng has nothing to do with your Li family. \""

"\"Yes. \""

"Hearing the words of the major powers, the two Li family elders felt their teeth itch with anger, but they didn't say much, merely lowering their voices to tell the clansmen:"

"\"Go. \""

"Immediately, without delay, they led the clansmen straight out of Wuji Xiancheng."

"As for everything in the city, naturally they took nothing with them."

"As the Li family departed, the people of the major powers eagerly stepped forward."

"\"Sect Master Qi, if there's nothing else, please stay temporarily in Wuji Xiancheng. \""

"\"Yes, we still need to discuss the division of the city later. \""

"\"Exactly, Sect Master Qi, rest assured, I will definitely be on your side then. \""

"\"Sect Master Qi, I don't know what aspects your sect is interested in; we can first keep in touch, and then I will surely give strong support. \""

"\"Yes, your sect has just been founded; I think Wuji Xiancheng has several cultivation blessed lands that are quite suitable. \""

"Huh???"

"Compared to how they treated the Li family, this was completely different; Qi Xiong was a bit dazed, casually echoed a couple of sentences, then took Xu Jie and left."

"As the people of the major powers said, although the Li family matter was settled, it was not yet time to leave; next they still needed to discuss how to divide Wuji Xiancheng."

"And this was what everyone valued most."

"So Qi Xiong didn't rush to leave either; he simply had Hong Zun take Xu Jie back to the sect first to recuperate."

"This time Hong Zun didn't refuse; after carefully checking Xu Jie's condition and confirming he was fine, he still felt uneasy and brought Xu Jie back to the sect."

"\"Third Senior Brother, go back and rest well; once the Wuji Xiancheng affair is over, I will return. \""

"At the parting, Ye Zhangqing said with a smile; hearing this, Xu Jie's expression was complex, he gritted his teeth and nodded, wanting to speak but stopping himself."

"\"Good. \""

"It was clear that this incident had dealt Xu Jie a heavy blow, which Ye Zhangqing could somewhat understand."

"He didn't say much more, just smiled and patted Xu Jie's shoulder."

The third senior brother will eventually pass away; the sect will also develop; in the future it will never again live at the mercy of others.

I trust you.

Xu Jie nodded seriously, then immediately boarded the immortal vessel together with Hong Zun.

Although the Dao One Immortal Sect's ambition to truly establish itself in the Immortal Realm is still a daunting task, Ye Zhangqing already has a rough plan in mind.

Just wait for the affairs of Wuji Xiancheng to conclude; upon returning, we can begin implementing it.

At Wuji Xiancheng, all major forces have gathered, and many cultivators in the city have also sensed the impending great change.

Therefore, these past few days the city has been unusually quiet; no one dares to jump out and court danger at this time.

And within Wuji Shanmai lies the great palace where the Elephant Ancestor resides.

At this moment it is staring with a pair of big eyes at the rat demon below.

The Dao One Immortal Sect is strong on the outside but weak within; what damned human race schemes—I see the Dao One Immortal Sect as simply ignorant of life and death.

The matters of Wuji Xiancheng, the Elephant Ancestor already knows, and feels that it has been deceived.

Before, I was wary of what big moves the Human Race might make behind the scenes, but now it seems the Human Race side doesn't even have a fart.

The reason the Dao One Immortal Sect dares to establish itself in Wuji Shanmai is simply out of ignorance—those who don't know are fearless, merely ignorant of life and death.

Yet it also caused it to feel wary, having endured this long.

However, regarding this, the rat demon spoke cautiously.

Shou Shou's words are reasonable, but there is one point we cannot overlook: that the two individuals surnamed Zuo and Huang are indeed within the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Huang Lao and Zuo Lao, no matter what, are existences that cannot be overlooked; this is beyond doubt.
