Chapter 2250: Post-war Meeting

~7 min read 1,319 words

Ye Zhangqing naturally had no intention of dying to protect the beast race, but he certainly wouldn't let everyone fight here.

This is the Shanmen of the Dao One Immortal Sect; fighting here would certainly affect the sect, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Looking at that cultivator gritting his teeth, Ye Zhangqing pondered for a moment, then spoke firmly.

"If it were elsewhere, I wouldn't stop you, but this place is where my Dao One Immortal Sect resides; we cannot fight here."

"This won't work, that won't work—what do you suggest we do?"

Someone spoke up questioning, and looking toward the voice, it was a man with a somewhat sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

Ye Zhangqing gave him a cold glance; sensing Ye Zhangqing's gaze, the man immediately shrank his neck and lowered his head.

Ye Zhangqing knew exactly what this guy was thinking—nothing more than trying to fan the flames.

The sort who fears the world isn't chaotic enough and loves to watch a spectacle, no matter how big.

He himself lacks strength and background, so doing this brings him no benefit whatsoever.

If one had to mention a benefit, it's probably just wanting to see how such a heavenly pride monster like Ye Zhangqing would embarrass himself.

After all, the beast race, desperate to survive, has flocked to the Dao One Immortal Sect, while numerous human cultivators have pursued them here.

If Ye Zhangqing disagrees, conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

This guy is exactly harboring that idea—a typical petty person.

For such a person, Ye Zhangqing can't even be bothered to pay attention.

Just as he was pondering how to speak, the next second Huang Lao and Zuo Fu rushed over.

Earlier, Ye Zhangqing crushed his external incarnation token; Huang Lao naturally sensed it.

The battle over there had already ended; the Elephant Ancestor had been subdued long ago, and Huang Lao and Zuo Fu, worried about Ye Zhangqing's safety, naturally came at once.

As the two arrived, the cultivators present became noticeably more obedient.

Even a single external incarnation earlier had made everyone dare not act rashly or strike at will.

Now the true self has arrived, plus an extra Zuo Fu; with so many human cultivators on scene, they dare not overstep in the slightest.

He landed directly in the crowd's center, first glanced at Ye Zhangqing to confirm he was unharmed, then Huang Lao gave a faint sweep of the crowd and spoke softly.

"What are you all doing............."

"Ancestor Huang, we came here chasing the remnants of the beast race; it's because the Dao One Immortal Sect wants to protect those remnants that we've fallen into this dispute..................."

Facing Huang Lao's inquiry, one of the human cultivators respectfully replied, recounting the events truthfully.

Before Huang Lao, he naturally dared not exaggerate.

Hearing this, Huang Lao's eyelid twitched slightly, and he glanced at the many beast race members huddled in the rear.

"Did they come running here to become food?"

He then glanced at Ye Zhangqing, his expression somewhat strange; Ye Zhangqing also shook his head helplessly.

These beast races running to the sect really have nothing to do with his Dao One Immortal Sect; when he arrived, it was already like this.

After all, the cultivators aren't wrong either, but this really isn't a place to fight, and besides, these beast races are no longer a formidable force.

Everyone's gaze, including that of the beast race, fell on Huang Lao and Zuo Fu; after all, with both present, the authority to decide surely lay in their hands.

After a moment of silence, Huang Lao spoke in a deep voice.

"First, control the beast race; no fighting."

For now, there's really no better option; the battle just ended, and all major powers are still in the cleanup phase.

How to handle these remaining beast races— for the time being, it's indeed hard to say.

Simply slaughtering them outright also won't do.

After all, the beast race possesses many valuable resources beneficial to human cultivators' training, and they remain a primary food source for humanity.

If we wiped them out in one sweep, what would become of the countless taverns in the Immortal Realm? Would we have to go vegetarian?

Although cultivators can subsist solely on heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, completely eliminating the need for food.

But cultivators are still human; they also have cravings.

As Huang Lao's words fell, everyone present had no objections.

However, this matter ultimately falls on the Dao One Immortal Sect.

After all, we also fear these cultivators might fight in private.

Dao One Immortal Sect disciples quickly found a spot beside the Shanmen, gathered the beast herds there, and temporarily took charge.

Although these beast races are far stronger than the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, at this moment each one is extraordinarily well-behaved.

They know that under the watch of the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, they can still preserve their lives.

If they foolishly resort to violence and resistance, the next second they'll meet the slaughtering blades of human cultivators.

Not seeing other human cultivators, even if Huang Lao spoke, they merely silently stepped aside without leaving.

Their gazes remained coldly fixed on them.

They looked as if they were waiting for you to act foolishly rebel, so they could strike.

Under these circumstances, the beast race naturally could not possibly do anything foolish.

Previously, because that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon acted foolishly, they had already approached the brink of extinction; now the sole remaining sliver of survival—these beast races would hardly dare to act foolishly.

On the beast race side, they are extraordinarily well-behaved, practically like a flock of obedient sheep.

No need for the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples to worry; they themselves strictly guard each other, mainly practicing mutual supervision.

At the Shanmen, the crowd had already dispersed; Huang Lao looked at Ye Zhangqing and said.

"After the war ends, the major powers will surely gather to discuss postwar matters, mainly interests; you Dao One Immortal Sect should also take part—pick someone to go."

Huang Lao knows what comes next; although he isn't interested, the Dao One Immortal Sect will definitely participate.

After all, as victors, these major powers will certainly divide the spoils of victory; if the Dao One Immortal Sect doesn't go, it will suffer a great loss.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing did not refuse; he nodded and said.

"I'll go."

Ye Zhangqing also had no choice; after all, Qi Xiong and the others are in closed-door cultivation, and within the whole sect, it seems only he can do it.

The disciples also couldn't make the decision.

Upon hearing that, Huang Lao didn't say anything, just nodded.

For the time being, stabilize the situation here; over the next half month, within the Wuji Shanmai, figures of Human Race cultivators could be seen everywhere.

In groups of three or five, they patrolled everywhere, searching for the remaining beast tribe.

After half a month of searching, the situation in the Wuji Shanmai was basically under control.

And the people of the major powers also gathered in Wuji Xiancheng, as Huang Lao said, planning to discuss post-war matters.

In this beast tribe uprising, the Human Race's major powers naturally contributed a lot.

At that time, no one cared about these things, after all the situation was dire.

But now it's different; with victory in battle, they definitely have to divide the benefits.

In just this half month, the major powers alone found an astronomical amount of heavenly treasures and earthly riches from within the Wuji Shanmai.

Many of the territories previously belonging to the beast tribe, deep in the mountain range, indeed contain true supreme treasures.

The entire Wuji Shanmai is indeed a huge natural treasury.

Faced with such a treasury, as well as the entire beast tribe, how to divide it— the major powers naturally need to sit down and discuss thoroughly.
