Chapter 586: Yunluo Holy Land

Having held back for half a day, I thought Qi Xiong could hold back something, but hearing that he actually still wants to go himself to the Fomen treasury for a walk, the Fomen strongmen all had eyes blazing with fire.

This really is not treating the Fomen as human beings at all?

Without waiting for Xiao Han Yi and the middle-aged man to speak, the Fomen patriarchs could no longer hold back.

"This old monk will now contact the Holy Land; even if we perish together, we will absolutely not agree to this unreasonable demand."

Saying that, this patriarch actually took out a Saint-grade Chuānyīn fú.

Only a Saint-grade Chuānyīn fú can enable cross-prefecture communication.

In front of everyone, this patriarch directly contacted the Holy Land.

In Zhongzhou, there is more than one Holy Land; each race has its own Holy Land, and the Human Race even has the Three Holy Lands.

The Holy Land where Xiao Han Yi and they are located is called Yunluo Holy Land.

Seeing this patriarch's action, Xiao Han Yi said coldly.

"You intend to oppose the Holy Land?"

Having figured out that this woman is in league with Qi Xiong, this patriarch simply tore off the pretense and replied coldly.

"Hmph, can you represent the entire Yunluo Holy Land?"

A mere Saint, placed in Dongzhou or Xizhou might be considered a major figure, but in the Yunluo Holy Land, although also considered strong, he is absolutely not a true high-level figure.

Above that there are Great Saints existing, let alone those old monsters above Great Saints.

Xiao Han Yi naturally cannot represent the entire Yunluo Holy Land, but this patriarch obviously also underestimated her status within the Holy Land.

At this moment, with the patriarch's contact, several Great Saint Elders inside the Yunluo Holy Land also gathered together, and one of them spoke.

"Han Yi, this time you have indeed gone too far; such favoritism will inevitably invite gossip and damage the Holy Land's dignity."

This old man, as soon as he spoke, deemed Xiao Han Yi's action problematic.

But just as his words fell, another Great Saint snorted coldly and said.

"Damn the harm to dignity; is our Holy Land's dignity something others give as charity?"

"Since you represent the Holy Land, you must consider things thoroughly when acting."

"Heh, why does our Yunluo Holy Land need to explain its actions to others? hearing you say that, what, did the Fomen not treat you well?"

"Don't spout bloody nonsense here."

The two argued heatedly for a moment, while the other Great Saint Elders each kept their eyes on their noses and noses on their hearts, having no intention to speak.

The reason the two are so opposed is entirely due to factional issues.

The situation inside the Yunluo Holy Land is very complex, with factions lining up; the two arguing are respectively the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Yunluo Holy Land.

Each is the leader of their respective faction and also a strong contender for the next Holy Lord.

And Xiao Han Yi is a member of the Second Elder's lineage and is greatly valued by the Second Elder.

Consequently, she naturally faces exclusion by the Grand Elder, and such conflict is not the first time.

Just as the two were arguing heatedly, a phantom suddenly appeared in the hall; seeing the phantom appear, even the Grand Elder and the Second Elder hurriedly rose and performed a respectful salute.

"Greetings, Holy Lord."

"Holy Lord, regarding this battle between the Dao Yi Sect and the Fomen, since our Holy Land has already intervened, it should naturally stop here; the Dao Yi Sect's proposal for compensation is indeed inappropriate."

The Grand Elder first raised objections, and the Second Elder likewise would not yield an inch.

"Ridiculous, the Fomen launched the attack, now defeated, and they want to withdraw unscathed without compensation—where in the world is there such a good thing?"

The two again began arguing endlessly, while at this moment, the phantom above the main seat spoke softly.

"Enough."

The voice was not loud, but immediately, both the Grand Elder and the Second Elder instantly shut their mouths.

Immediately, the phantom turned its gaze to a young man standing beside the two.

"The Third Elder will personally go; this matter you have full authority to decide."

As the words fell, the phantom directly dissipated in place, while the Grand Elder's and Second Elder's faces turned deathly pale.

The Holy Lord handed over the decision-making authority to the Third Elder; that meaning is already clear—they should not interfere in this matter any further.

As for the Third Elder, he is a staunch supporter of the Holy Lord; it can be said he will absolutely not favor anyone.

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder nodded, didn't even glance at the Grand Elder and Second Elder, and directly vanished from the great hall.

At the same time, in Dongzhou, the middle-aged man also received the Holy Land's news, learning that the Third Elder would personally come to Dongzhou, he helplessly shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"Things have blown up; the Third Elder is coming personally, we might as well step aside and rest."

This was said to Xiao Han Yi; right now it's no longer something they can control.

On the Fomen side, upon hearing that the Holy Land had directly dispatched a Great Saint Elder, they all showed cold smiles.

"Hmph, see what you can do now."

"Thinking they could just bring in some woman from somewhere and easily devour the Fomen?"

Regarding this, Qi Xiong also had no choice; after discussing with the middle-aged man, everyone decided to first go together to the Dao Yi Sect, wait for the Third Elder's arrival, and then discuss compensation.

"Fine, but the Fomen cannot enter my Dao Yi Sect."

"You think this old monk wants to go?"

"That would be best."

"Release the Fomen's people."

"Ridiculous, wait until the Holy Land elder arrives and then talk."

"Release people now? What a joke—those I captured by my own ability, why should I release them?"

Qi Xiong showed no weakness in his words; the Fomen also had no recourse, for before the Third Elder arrives they cannot possibly take any action, otherwise they would provoke the Holy Land's displeasure and suffer the consequences.

They can only endure temporarily.

Afterwards, the people returned to the Dao Yi Sect one after another; the Fomen indeed did not enter the Dao Yi Sect, merely stopping in the outer region and directly residing on the star vessel.

And Xiao Han Yi and the middle-aged man were arranged to be placed inside the Dao Yi Sect.

Along the way, Xiao Han Yi never spoke to Qi Xiong, and Qi Xiong didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke him.

After settling Xiao Han Yi and the other person, Qi Xiong and the other high-level members of the Dao Yi Sect went to the main hall to discuss matters; this time, even Yu Mo and her five companions came.

"I didn't expect it to be Li Zhengqing himself who came."

Yu Mo said with a helpless expression, obviously knowing this Third Elder of the Yunluo Holy Land.

"Given the Yunluo Holy Land's thinking, they likely won't support much compensation; at most they'll just pay lip service."

Qi Xiong said in a deep voice, this is indeed the most likely outcome.

As for this, the Dao Yi Sect people naturally weren't willing to accept it; after all, the Dao Yi Sect was the victorious side, yet they just let the Fomen retreat completely unscathed, leaving everyone feeling resentful.

However, facing the Yunluo Holy Land, the Dao Yi Sect had little say.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ye Zhangqing slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"Actually, there is a way; why not leave the task of receiving the Holy Land's elders to our canteen?"

"Reception?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned; the term sounded quite novel, but your canteen...............

Everyone momentarily forgot that the Dao Yi Sect's canteen's lineup was such that the lowest cultivation level was actually the hall master Ye Zhangqing, while the others were either at the Saint Realm or Great Saint level; don't forget, Yu Mo and her group are also counted as canteen staff.

Using them to receive the Third Elder of the Yunluo Holy Land is more than enough.
