Chapter 529: Should Share the Soul Realm

Under the wall of the Kunmen Pass, the fire lotus had long since turned into sparks in the sky and dissipated, leaving only a group of human cultivators who had survived the disaster, their expressions dazed, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

"Hua Hongyi..."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the four of Meng Ziyu walked straight towards Hua Dalang, and quietly led him to a quiet corner of the wall.

Hua Dalang's gaze first stayed on Sheng Pengyun—the brother of his fiancée—for a moment, before turning to the other three, cupping his hands in salute.

"Four Generals, is there a mission to be assigned?"

The four of Meng Ziyu were all Assistant Regional Commanders, and Hua Dalang was only a Ten-Thousand-Man Commander. Even if the four were not his direct superiors, he could not neglect their instructions.

Meng Ziyu laughed, reaching out to hug Hua Dalang's shoulder, looking like brothers: "Don't be so serious, we don't have anything to assign to you, just come over to chat with you."

Hua Dalang's eyes flashed: "This subordinate dare not."

The Demon-Suppressing Army had strict discipline, and he dared not be frivolous with his superiors.

Seeing him like this, Meng Ziyu looked embarrassed, retracted his hand, and looked at Sheng Pengyun, signaling him with his eyes to come.

Sheng Pengyun was silent for a moment, and went straight to the point: "Hongyi, do you find that Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall familiar?"

Hua Dalang heard this, said 'as expected' in his heart, knowing what the four wanted to ask, and shook his head directly: "The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall has a terrifying momentum, and she is far away. I'm afraid the four Generals will laugh at me, but this subordinate cannot see her face clearly."

Meng Ziyu laughed: "We can't see clearly either, didn't you find her form and behavior familiar?"

Hua Dalang recalled, and shook his head again: "I really didn't see clearly..."

Seeing him like this, Meng Ziyu wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Sheng Pengyun: "Hongyi, don't think too much, we are just curious."

"The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall has always been elusive; this is the first time she has appeared in public. Previously, it was rumored that she was your ninth sister, so we wanted to find you to confirm it."

Hua Dalang nodded to show understanding, but did not answer.

Sheng Pengyun: "... You go get busy, we also have to go find the Minister to report the situation of this Nine Nether trip."

Hua Dalang cupped his hands in salute, and then left quickly.

Watching his back, Meng Ziyu touched his chin and tutted: "If it weren't for the low starting point of the Hua family, this family would really be good at acting."

Hearing this, Sheng Pengyun glared at Meng Ziyu: "He is my brother-in-law, don't test him casually in the future."

Alas, Hua Hongyi's depth of character is simply not deep enough!

He thought that by not answering their questions directly, and by speaking vaguely, he could deceive them?

However, he didn't know that by not denying it directly, it was a kind of affirmation in itself.

Hua Jiuniang... it really is possible that she is the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall!!!

Compared to Meng Ziyu and Sheng Pengyun's curiosity about 'whether the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is Hua Jiuniang', Jiang Yanyi and Ye Jingzhou wanted to know 'why the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall was following Chu Junyi'.

"The Demon-Suppressing Army is famous, and the Head is handsome and extraordinary, very popular with young ladies. Do you think the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is admiring the Head?"

"Can't be, the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is not an ordinary young lady?"

"She is not ordinary, but she is a young lady."

"Are you thinking too much? I think there should be something we don't know!"

The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall had always been elusive and rarely revealed her true face to the world.

However, this time she forcibly broke the Five Directions Great Array and saved countless trapped cultivators in a desperate situation, triggering unprecedented discussion.

In the past, everyone only knew that the power of the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall was unfathomable; but this time, helping the trapped personnel highlighted her responsibility and courage.

As a result, countless human cultivators praised her, especially the younger generation, who regarded her as a role model in their hearts, their admiration like a surging river.

At the Kunmen Pass, ordinary cultivators were still immersed in the thrilling battle just now, discussing it; while inside the pass, the people in charge of the five holy lands, guardian families, and major aristocratic clans were gathered in Wei Zhenjie's tent, their expressions different.

The elder of the Zhu family, a guardian family, took the lead in breaking the silence: "Minister Wei, the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm is now in the hands of the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall. I wonder what plans you have for this?"

Wei Zhenjie glanced sideways at the person who spoke, couldn't help it, and sneered: "What plans do I have?"

He paused, his tone carrying a bit of sarcasm, "The Nether Fire Match is not in my hands, is my plan important?"

The Zhu family elder's expression stiffened, and his embarrassment overflowed.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to praise Wei Zhenjie, but didn't expect Wei Zhenjie to be so ungiving of face.

The elder of the Long family saw this and hurriedly came out to smooth things over, laughing: "Minister Wei, the Central Holy Land is the pillar of the Central Continent. The Nine Nether Soul Realm concerns the overall strength of our human race. I'm afraid we still need Minister Wei to come forward and negotiate with the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall."

Wei Zhenjie hooked his lips into a playful smile and asked back: "How do you think I should negotiate?"

The people in charge of all sides looked at each other, and after a round of eye contact, someone began to speak.

"The Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is the commander of the Zhu Que Army, and the Zhu Que Army is an righteous army protecting all living beings. I think, for the strength of the human race, the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is willing to share the Nine Nether Soul Realm."

"That's right, if the Nine Nether Soul Realm can be shared by the human race and cultivate powerhouses together, that is the long-term path of development."

"With the acceleration of the recovery of spiritual energy, the demon race is becoming increasingly prosperous. In time, the human race and the demon race will definitely break out in a great war. At that time, if the human race does not have enough powerhouses, how can they resist the demon race?"

"The Nine Nether Soul Realm is an excellent opportunity to improve the strength of human cultivators. If the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall cares about all living beings, she should not swallow this opportunity alone."

"The great hero acts for the country and the people. As a human powerhouse, one should not put the safety of the human race at risk for one's own selfish interests."

Everyone said one word after another, sounding righteous and impassioned. Their purpose was simple and clear—the Nine Nether Soul Realm should be shared by the human race.

Were these words reasonable?

Naturally, they were!

Wei Zhenjie, as the commander of the Demon-Suppressing Army, understood the current situation of the human race better than anyone else.

The demon race was becoming increasingly prosperous and watching covetously. If the human race remained a scattered sand, each with their own ghosts, they would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Only by integrating the forces of all sides and condensing the hearts of the human race could they truly resist the invasion of the demon race.

However, the little thoughts of these people were also clearly exposed. They only wanted to share the benefits of the Soul Realm, but did not mention the price they should pay.

"The Soul Realm key was, after all, obtained by the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall by taking risks and penetrating deep into the Nine Netherworlds."

Wei Zhenjie spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an invisible pressure, "If you want her to share it, what are you prepared to take out in exchange?"

"This..."

The people in charge looked at each other again, showing difficulty.

"If the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is willing to share the Soul Realm, we will naturally show our sincerity. It's just..."

"This Nine Passes Auction, the Ghost King and Lady Chi Yan appeared, causing all sides to be implicated, and all of this is related to the Lingguang Hall..."

"Bang—!"

A loud noise interrupted everyone's words.

Wei Zhenjie slapped the teacup in his hand to pieces, fragments splashing everywhere, tea spilling all over the floor.

The people in charge were startled by this sudden change, looking at him suspiciously, and the tent instantly fell into a dead silence.

Wei Zhenjie was too lazy to leave them any face, showing sarcasm, and said coldly: "Talking about hypocritical words all day, have you confused yourselves?"

"Not wanting to take responsibility when things happen, only wanting to shirk, that's fine. But once there is a benefit, you are like dogs seeing a bone, only wanting to grab it, not having any sense of exchange, and even wanting to splash dirty water on others and rake them?"

"I think you people are living backwards!"

"Do you really think that saying a few ambiguous pretty words can cover up the little thoughts in your hearts?"

"If you think the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall is easy to fool, you go yourself, don't use me as a gun."

After speaking, he was too lazy to pay attention to these people and left directly.

Chu Junyi followed Wei Zhenjie out of the tent, his brows always furrowed: "Small people have to be greedy for survival, but they are top forces, they don't lack those resources..."

Wei Zhenjie heard this and shook his head: "Greed is not the main thing, they mainly want to suppress the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall."

Chu Junyi was stunned.

Wei Zhenjie sighed. Although he had cleaned up the mess for Hua Changxi, once things were done, there would always be traces, and others might not be able to find them.

Perhaps, everyone could not be 100% sure of the true identity of the Hall Master of the Lingguang Hall now, but they might have mastered some sporadic evidence in their hands.

Towards Hua Changxi, this junior who came from a humble background but was unruly and tough, those people might have the intention of deliberately bullying her. ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
