Chapter 92: Qiongqi Appears in the World, Jiaolong Stirs the Sea!

"Everyone, I have called you all here today because there is a matter I would like to discuss with you."

Jianghai, Ginkgo Manor.

Ever since he had requested this manor through Jiang Dahai, Bai Shijing had taken it for granted and treated it as the headquarters for the Jiangnan District Ability User Alliance.

Now, he had gathered all the Ability Users who had followed him, as well as the few who had joined recently, and said in a clear voice, "In the world today, Beasts are already everywhere. Some countries have even been directly destroyed by Beasts, and instances of the public losing their lives to the maws of Beasts are numerous."

"Within our Great Xia, there are also many Beasts, and their strength is quite formidable."

"I want to ask you all, what kind of attitude should we adopt when facing these Beasts in the future?"

After speaking, Bai Shijing scanned the face of every person, hoping to discover something; he even decided inwardly, "Today, I will see if you truly harbor any hostility toward my master."

"If there is any, then don't blame me for being impolite..."

He had indeed convened this meeting today to address what he had just mentioned, but more so, he wanted to see the thoughts in everyone's hearts.

Not long after, an Ability User spoke up, "Since the great change in heaven and earth, the strength of the Beasts has become increasingly powerful, and the strong among them can basically speak human language and engage in smooth Communication with humans."

"I feel that in the future, we can try our best to live in peace with the Beasts; if we can avoid conflict, we should avoid it."

"Well said."

Another Ability User nodded, expressing approval, "Last time, the Snake King had clearly expressed goodwill, but the military refused to agree and insisted on eliminating it, which led to the subsequent destruction of the military base. Now, we humans are unable to set foot in Qinling at all."

"I have heard that the Snake King of Qinling has already gathered countless Beasts and is reigning supreme within Qinling."

"Toward such Beasts, we truly should not show hostility; on the contrary, we should take the initiative to show goodwill, otherwise, it will definitely be a huge disaster."

At the head of the table, Bai Shijing nodded repeatedly upon hearing these words, indicating they were correct, but at this moment, an Ability User from the Changsheng Group spoke up suspiciously, "But if we ignore the Snake King, wouldn't that also be very dangerous?"

"Oh? And what do you think?"

"I think we could sign a contract with the Snake King; once the Snake King and its subordinates leave Qinling, they must be under human surveillance, and they must not kill or eat people at will."

"Otherwise... we have the right to hold them accountable."

To humans, these words were indeed exceptionally normal, but Bai Shijing had long since become a servant of Lu Chuan.

He frowned at this and said, "You mean... the Snake King cannot leave Qinling, but humans can come and go as they please?"

"More or less..."

"Good, you are fired. Do not appear in Jiangnan District from now on."

Bai Shijing did not give the other party a chance to retort, directly ordering people to throw him out, then said to the remaining Ability Users, "It is common knowledge that the Snake King is powerful, but it is also common knowledge that it never takes the initiative to attack humans."

"Since you feel you are no match for the Snake King, why not treat every Beast as an equal instead of holding a high-and-mighty attitude, thinking that Beasts are inferior?"

"This kind of thinking is unacceptable; it will get people killed."

"Since we want to establish a contract with the Snake King, then whatever we demand of the Snake King, we must also be able to do ourselves; it must be the same on both sides."

"Otherwise, why would the Snake King establish a contract with you?"

"Does anyone else have any opinions?"

Having the previous example, the other Ability Users all indicated they had nothing more to say. Bai Shijing smiled at this, "Very good, only with an attitude like yours can humans and Beasts live in peace."

"Alright, I will discuss this with the various Ability User Alliances in the Imperial Capital and elsewhere, and have them reduce their hostility toward Beasts in the future."

"But... this is limited to Qinling, after all, they truly have never actively done anything to harm humans."

"Meeting adjourned!"

After signaling for this group to leave, he immediately used his Soul Power to inform Lu Chuan of this matter, then said with a chuckle, "Master, basically no humans are suggesting the destruction of Qinling anymore, and I will also ensure other Ability User Alliances do not target Qinling."

"Well done, however... the threat of humans is no longer significant to me."

Deep within Qinling, Lu Chuan was very satisfied with Bai Shijing's performance. Seeing that Bai Shijing was somewhat puzzled by this, he patiently explained, "Nowadays, Qinling has grown quite a bit, and everyone's strength has improved. Relatively speaking, the threat of human Ultimate Weapons is also much smaller than before."

"Moreover, even if one hundred Ultimate Weapons were to detonate simultaneously, they would be unable to cover the Qinling that has undergone such great changes."

"You can rest assured in gathering information among the humans; tell me immediately if there is anything important."

"Yes, Master!"

Ending the Communication with Bai Shijing, Lu Chuan raised his head and looked around.

During this period, although he had been cultivating the willow tree and helping it grow better and better, he had not stopped paying attention to the situation within Qinling.

He discovered that as time passed, the number of creatures coming from the Ancient Space Rift was increasing. Some ancient creatures even emerged directly from the space rift and mingled with the current Beasts, making them difficult to distinguish.

As far as he knew, although he was still the one in charge of Qinling, on almost every mountain peak outside of Qinling, there were powerful Beasts occupying the mountains as kings, causing quite a stir.

Some of these ancient creatures had even directly attacked humans, causing heavy losses to humanity.

Great Xia, Imperial Capital.

In a large office, the Supreme Commander looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Recently, countless Beasts have been rampaging all over the country. They either occupy mountains as kings or charge into Fortress Cities to wreak havoc, bringing great danger and panic to the public."

"Only in Qinling is it consistently stable, with not a single Beast rampaging."

"Therefore, I suggest that for those Beasts willing to communicate and be kind, we should live in peace with them, just as Alliance Leader Bai Shijing said."

"But for those Beasts that harm the public and harm the country, we will never be lenient."

"You must all be prepared to go to war with the Beasts at any time."

"Yes!"

After the speech, the Supreme Commander waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to play a video, "According to the latest news, someone has discovered a creature resembling an ancient Qiongqi on Kunlun Mountain, and there are even ancient Jiaolong appearing in the Eastern Inner Sea."

"Currently, we cannot determine whether these ancient creatures harbor hostility or goodwill toward us humans, so I intend to send people to make contact. Do you all have any objections?"

"That is fine, if we can build a good relationship with the Beasts, then let's build a good relationship with them."

"Correct..."
