Jiang Feng had just entered the venue, and before he even walked around the stone screen, he felt a tremendous pressure. Apart from the low-level monks serving everyone in the venue, he was the one with the lowest cultivation level. He could feel it without carefully understanding it.
One after another, either majestic, sharp, hot, or cold, wanders and lingers here, seemingly at random, but it meticulously sweeps every corner of his body, leaving no gaps.
At the same time, he felt a little throbbing from the Tower of Eternity.
The secret of possessing ancient treasures and conforming to the way of heaven cannot always be hidden deep. Zhu Qianmu, the powerful sect, was exposed in the battle. Maybe many monks did not know the details of this battle, but sitting in the venue, they were all Tianyuan Bei
The strong people who travel on land should have heard about it no matter how little information they have. Even Yuan Ying Baoyuan, who likes freedom and travels alone, also knows this.
However, these thoughtful peeks immediately dissipated, and the atmosphere in the venue returned to calm. Only then did Jiang Feng realize that these people were casually playing with a pair of cards carved from warm jade. With just a quick glance, Jiang Feng knew that the name of the card was "
"Immortal Killing" has become very popular in the market recently. He once saw Wang Yi playing with it and studied it, and even scolded Wang Yi for being negligent in practice. But now he did not expect that these high-ranking and famous people are not exempt from the common practice.
What's the agreed-upon outcome? Shouldn't they be on separate sides, facing each other from a distance, with their swords drawn at war with each other?
Perhaps in front of these big shots, winning or losing is really a matter of military strategists. Jiang Feng sighed in his heart, secretly saying that the big shots were really different from what he imagined. He had also participated in the internal talks of the Seven Alliances. That kind of intrigue, for some small things.
The scene of the fierce struggle for profit is still vivid in my mind. Even the Jincheng League's alliance meeting would not be held so calmly.
There was no nameplate indicating his identity in the venue, but it was obvious that no seat had been reserved for him in advance. Jiang Feng followed the guidance of his second senior brother Yuwen Haoqi's eyes, pulled out a chair from the corner that was obviously different from the others, and sat down in a low-key manner.
Behind him, he casually took out a Taoist scripture and put it on his knees to cover it up, and then secretly observed these important people attending the meeting.
Speaking of which, Jiang Feng actually knew quite a few people at the venue.
Sitting on the right side of the venue was one of his own. Wan Yuting, the leader of the Jincheng Alliance, was at the head of the table. However, the person sitting next to him was not Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect, but a middle-aged monk with gray beard and hair. Jiang Feng had seen his portrait, so he should be
One of the four monks who participated in the killing of Yuanying Tongguang was just an unknown person. But the other participant, Qing Daozi, did not sit on the right side, but sat opposite Jiang Feng, between the other two monks.
between.
The person on the left side of Qing Daozi has a face somewhat similar to Tian Yixun. He should be Tian Yicheng, the Nascent Soul monk he once mentioned. The Qi robe on him also proves this. Unlike other people present, his face has a slight complexion.
He was hesitant and confused, as if he was pondering the cards in his hand. He must be a novice.
The other person looked calm and composed, and his brows were full of confidence. When Jiang Feng entered the scene, this person also paid a lot of attention to him. The Li Zong robe on his body was enough to prove his identity as Yu Jingfeng, the head of the Yu family. Although he did not
Although he had direct contact with Jiang Feng, he had seen the portrait. Wu Quanzhong, who went to Li Zong to watch the inauguration ceremony of the leader, had been told by him to pay careful attention to this matter.
On the other side of the grapefruit-colored hardwood long table, sat the loser side of this war. Jiang Feng recognized one person, Liu Shizhou, who had photographed himself at Bailing Villa, and was also the head of Tianluo Sect. He was sitting with three people.
In the middle, through his robes, Jiang Feng could tell that the person sitting at the top was Yuan Ying Gong Ye Kai from Tianyin Temple, and the one at the bottom was Zhao Mengzheng, the special envoy of Jinguang Pavilion. Apart from Jiang Feng and Su Liqing, no one in the room had reached Yuanying.
Or one of the monks from the Pseudo Heaven. The three of them were not in a high mood, but they were not disappointed either. They threw the jade tokens and threw them to the ground. They took the opportunity to glance at the door, as if they were waiting for something.
There must be someone who has not yet arrived. Jiang Feng originally thought that they were waiting for his second senior brother Yuwen Haoqi to preside over the peace talks, but now it seems that is not the case. So he sat there for a while, and around noon, the "immortal killing" went on for four more rounds.
Only then did a man walk in unhurriedly from the outside. This man had a ruddy complexion, was old and not tall, but the muscles in his arms were strong and strong. At first glance, he was a master of close combat.
"Yin Liting, you're late." Tian Yixun, who had a goatee, snorted and folded the jade plaques in his hands, "For asking so many people to wait for you, why don't you bring a few collections to open everyone's eyes and make amends?
"
"Haha," the visitor didn't pay attention at all, "There's no Kung Fu talismans these days. Brother Yi Xun, I didn't come, but didn't you have a good time?"
"Nonsense, I've already lost five level four coins." Tian Yixun opened the jade card in his hand again and looked around, "What, is this game going to be over?"
"Of course we have to finish the game." Yu Jingfeng took a card and said, "Headmaster Yin will pay for the loss in this round."
Sect Master Yin, this must be the Sect Master of the Red Dragon Clan, Jiang Feng thought to himself, but when he saw the other party glance at him casually, he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his stomach and back, and said with a smile: "
Brother Yuwen, your junior brother is quite good, and he is really enviable because he possesses the way of heaven."
"That's right, it's okay if you have the way of heaven. I have to give Mr. Xu some face, but I wonder if Zen Heart Academy will take care of the looting of my Tianyin Temple city?" The person who answered was Gong Yekai, who didn't even raise his head.
, threw two jade cards from his hand, took one jade card from the previous family, threw out another card, took two cards in succession, and then looked at Yuwen Haoqi with deep meaning.
"My junior brother did not harm ordinary people. It is reasonable for the two armies to engage in some deception tactics. However, he has already blamed himself for this and is willing to bear the burden of the nine thousand victims.
The resettlement work has been canceled after I came here. I am here today on behalf of Xuanjiyuan for this reason. The war has lasted for two months, and 680,000 ordinary people have been displaced. 2.42 million ordinary people have been affected. You are at war.
Both sides need to come up with a relief plan as soon as possible." Yuwen Haoqi spoke slowly and turned to look at Yin Liting, who arrived last, with a deep and solemn gaze, "Headmaster Yin, since you are the middleman, you will preside over this peace negotiation.
, I think there will definitely be an explanation for this matter, right?"
"Of course, Xuanjiyuan is also thinking about you. The common world is the foundation of your Dao." Yin Liting sat down next to Yu Wenhaoqi, "When I came here, I passed by Fuhaimen. The ruins of Jindu City are still in ruins. The prosperity of the past is hard to come back. I want to come here.
Many ordinary people also lost their lives in this battle, and their wives and children were separated, which is really a tragedy. I should take this as a warning, but I heard that you two were quite restrained this time, and there was no tragic scene."
Everyone nodded in agreement, Jiang Feng also felt sorry for him, and couldn't help but be touched. Unexpectedly, Yin Liting changed the subject, "But the matter has come to an end, the dead have rested forever, and the living will continue. I suggest you both take out some spiritual stones."
How about handing it over to Xuanjiyuan, seven or three, twenty fourth-level coins in total? As for the specific share, it will be discussed internally by both of you, and it will be handed over to Xuanjiyuan in one month."
"As for those of you who came to watch the ceremony, you all have a share. Each of you has one fourth-order coin and I have two. Just to express your feelings." Yin Liting was the first to take out two fourth-order coins and placed them in front of Yu Wenhaoqi.
No one was unhappy at all, but Jiang Feng was really feeling a little sad. Although he was from the Jincheng League and could bear the responsibility for the six fourth-level bullets that hit the seven-thirds afterwards, he had to sit in the seat of the audience today, but he couldn't go out.
It was impossible to obtain the spirit stone. The second brother's face was there. At this time, he naturally couldn't express his position and said that he could not give it out. He could only take out a fourth-level Yuanying treasure source that had been prepaid in advance and put it gently.
Before the case.
Being forced to donate as soon as I came here, and being in the company of these Nascent Soul-level bosses, it was really miserable to have no wealth at all.
The matter was agreed upon. This was also a matter that had nothing to do with the core interests of all parties. Next, it was time for all parties to bargain and strive to maximize post-war benefits or stop losses in time. Jiang Feng naturally only had a look at this.
At one point, like the second senior brother Yuwen Haoqi, Xuanjiyuan adheres to neutrality and does not take a position on this kind of matter.
The demands of the Jincheng Alliance were stated by Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect. As the winner, he put forward ten conditions on behalf of the Jincheng Alliance, which involved many details such as territorial division, war indemnity, monk battle formation restrictions, etc. The war indemnity Jiang Feng was in advance
You know, the other party has already rejected it privately, and now it is proposed, it should be used for bargaining. In addition, there is also a lot of mention about the division of spiritual lands near the occupied territory and the allocation of resources. Jiang Feng has never heard of many place names, which shows that he has done enough before.
For this, he had to admire Su Liqing and his men. As the leader of the alliance, Wan Yuting was only responsible for the general strategy. Chen Kun was unable to enter the field due to his poor cultivation. These trivial matters must have fallen to Su Liqing.
Not only considering everything, but also assessing gains and losses, making choices and measurements, is a complicated task.
Tianyin Temple, Tianluomen and Jinguang Pavilion do not have plenipotentiary representatives, and the terms involving each sect are negotiated separately by each party. When it comes to territory, it involves Li Zong and Qi State. Jiang Feng knew Li Zong's actions, and so did he
They reached a private agreement with them, but they didn't know that the Qi State on the eastern front took advantage of the chaos and occupied the three cities of Tianluomen. Now, they are also listed among the matters to be discussed.
"The six cities occupied by Li Zong cannot be included in the division plan of Tianyin Temple's territory." Su Liqing rejected Gong Yekai's proposal, "If they are included, Li Zong must first return these cities and then be allocated to Tianyin Temple.
Jincheng Alliance."
"We took these cities from the Qianshan Sect." Yu Jingfeng glanced at Jiang Feng, who was sitting and listening, "It has nothing to do with today's peace talks." He threw out an agreement, which was signed by Jiang Feng and Bering Khotan that day.
That one.
Su Liqing took the photo. After reading it hastily, he looked to Jiang Feng for an explanation. Jiang Feng could only imitate these big guys and pretend to be calm, "Those skirmishers from our Qianshan Sect can't defeat their Long Xiang army.
At that time, you were all on the Eastern Front, Leng Tingtao was defeated, and I had no help."
"We'll discuss matters within the alliance later." Wan Yuting waved his hand, "Let's count it as half, three cities. Fellow Daoist Yu, your powerful sect also sacrifices a little, how about returning one city, there is no need to choose another occasion to discuss this matter.
Is that possible?"
"Okay." Yu Jingfeng didn't care, and casually sketched it on the map, confirming the cities to be returned. Jiang Feng took a sideways glance and saw that the two cities he had swallowed were still surrounded by Li Zong.
Then I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The three cities occupied by Qi State were also under discussion. Originally, this only involved Tianluomen and Qi State. Qi State expressed its willingness to return it, but Tianluomen monks must evacuate all the Sendai between the two sects.
Zong, leaving only a small number of foreign affairs personnel, Tianluomen did not want to agree, but Qi State also suggested that the Jincheng Alliance make concessions together and redraw the territorial boundaries with Tianluomen, moving back fifty miles compared to the current occupation.
With the intervention of Qi State, Wan Yuting could only give in on this matter. Jiang Feng sent a servant to take a map and looked at it. He found that although he had retreated fifty miles, there were not many spiritual places near this place.
Within the scope of Jincheng League's expectations, the art of peace talks lies in compromise, and nothing red-faced happened at the scene. This made Jiang Feng suspect that perhaps there was another more critical small meeting that had ended early, and today was nothing more than...
Just working out some details.
There are ultimately seven main clauses in the contract:
First, each clan retains the territory it currently occupies.
There are three exceptions: first, the boundary drawn by Tianluomen and Jincheng League is based on the forty-nine miles back of Jincheng League, but does not include Xiaguang City, and the south is bounded by Nanrong River; second, the boundary occupied by Li Zong
Zhimo City will be returned to Tianyin Temple and handed over to the Jincheng League. Thirdly, the boundary between Tianyin Temple and Jinguang Pavilion will be based on the occupation of the two sects on the sixth day of February, and the remainder will be returned to Tianyin Temple;
Second, Tianyin Temple cannot maintain and practice monk battle formations for a period of sixty years;
Third, monks from Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen cannot be stationed in Tianyin Temple, and all foreign affairs personnel stationed for a long time cannot exceed the third level of Jindan or the same level;
Fourth, each sect recognizes the status of Chengguan Sect and Sendai Sect and recognizes the established boundaries;
Fifth, Yilan Port is a free port and is temporarily under the management of the Jincheng League. Monks of the same realm whose cultivation level does not exceed the seventh level of the Golden Core can freely enter and exit, fly over, and the income from Yilan Port's taxes will be managed by the Jincheng League, Li Sect, and Qi respectively.
In the country, Tianyin Temple divides profits according to four, two, two, and two, and distributes profits once every two years;
Sixth, each sect recognized the existing boundaries between Yefan Kingdom and Jinguangge, and Jinguangge gave up its territorial claim to Pingjing Sect;
Seventh, each sect releases the captives and returns the remains of the monks that have not been incinerated without paying each other.
Jiang Feng originally thought that Jinguang Pavilion would ask for a large sum of money from the Jincheng Alliance for the Lelin Sect prisoners in their hands, but after the Jincheng Alliance supported Jinguang Pavilion's claim on the Tianyin Temple territory, the matter became easy.
was resolved. Obviously, in the entire field, the one who suffered the most losses was Tianyin Temple. Apart from the territory lost in the war and the city occupied by Jinguang Pavilion in the final stage of the war, Chengguan Sect established its own branch, which is not a small matter.
The damage, judging from the map, is that the coastline has been reduced by half compared to before the war, and there are not many good harbors left.
The second largest loss was Tianluomen. In addition to the defeat on the western front, the eastern front was also invaded by the Qi State. Although all the occupied cities were returned, they had to make concessions on the Sendai Sect issue between the two sects.
.However, Tianluo Sect’s monks’ losses were not heavy in this battle. Liu Shizhou had always adhered to the principle of not leaving and passively avoided the battle. Jiang Feng secretly thought that he was trying to preserve his strength and wait for the war when he was under attack.
In the end, after all, there were not many spiritual lands in the west of Tianluomen, and he was probably forced to adopt such an extreme defensive strategy when his brother Liu Shihanlizong was injured in the battle.
On the other hand, Jinguang Pavilion, although it was also on the losing side, was the actual beneficiary of this battle. Its territory expanded eastward. Except for the defeat and a less than ideal agreement with Yefan Kingdom, there was no loss on paper. However,
When it comes to the monks who died, Jinguang Pavilion was the first to bear the brunt. In contrast, Tianyin Temple's biggest loss was Nascent Soul Tongguang, but most of the Jindan and Foundation-building monks, especially the monks under Gongye Kai, were saved.
Each sect immediately signed a formal agreement, and Jiang Feng, who was watching the ceremony, was also able to sign his name behind the second senior brother's name. Speaking of which, this name is worth a fourth-level coin.
Everyone sat quietly, and the slight unhappiness caused by the occasional arguments disappeared. Speaking of which, these people are all famous people in the Hokuriku. The reason why they can sit here together is because most of them don't have any deep hatred. Even if they do, they can still do it when they are of equal strength.
Maintain restraint. At this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly felt that he was quite out of place.
Nothing more than that, his cultivation level is still too low.
Take a deep breath and be a calm and low-key bystander. Although everyone is talking and laughing, it is a bit confusing, but it is still a little bit. Unfortunately, these people are mature people and will not easily reveal valuable information.
Although he knew Qing Daozi, he could only pretend not to know him in this situation. He originally wanted to entrust Baoyuan with the matter, so he could only give up and choose another opportunity.
However, in order to make them look familiar, Jiang Feng also went over to salute one by one. Although the second senior brother looked calm, he seemed to be willing to facilitate this matter. Jiang Feng, like Su Liqing, quickly got to know everyone present, including
Yu Jingfeng, the Nascent Soul cultivator who killed Tongguang, seemed to have some familiarity with Yu Jingfeng. Although they didn't show it, they could see the goodwill in each other's eyes.
After turning around in a circle, Jiang Feng was about to return to his seat when he felt a slight discomfort under his tongue. It was the "Charming Heart Magic Crystal" that was causing trouble. Originally, this thing was used to hide the ancient treasure Tower of Eternity, but it also had the ability to charm others.
, the effect of seeking favor, so Jiang Feng pressed it under his tongue before entering the venue. Facts have proved that this thing is somewhat effective. Even if he is in a bad mood, he doesn't like Gongye Kai after getting along with him for a long time.
, and became much kinder in conversation.
Pretending to taste tea, Jiang Feng wanted to put away the "Charming Heart Magic Crystal", but unexpectedly the thing suddenly melted under his tongue, turning into a ball of viscous juice. After another sip, a bitter taste rushed into his limbs and bones, Jiang Feng
I just feel like every hair on my body is standing on end, as if there is an unknown force peering at me from the side.
Almost at the same time, everyone who was originally talking looked at Jiang Feng, whose body seemed to have changed. Second senior brother Yuwen Haoqi, who was at a close distance, had a bright light all over his body, and two golden light shields suddenly condensed.
A phantom emerged from behind Jiang Feng like a silver sword, changing its shape at the snap of a finger.
"Yes, it looks like there are a lot of people!" That voice was none other than True Lord Thousand-Faced Zisu.
"I have met the True Lord." Yu Jingfeng was the first to stand up. Thousand-faced Zisu True Lord was once one of the powerful people in the old days of Li Sect, so he naturally recognized him. Although he was not where he is today at that time, he
I once got a glimpse of it.
"It turns out to be Senior Zisu."
Yin Liting was the second to stand up and salute. He was also the older monk among the monks in the field. He had also heard of the name of Zhenjun Zisu before, "I wonder if the senior has projected himself in the ancient times. What advice can he give?"
