After forty or fifty breaths, the third elder spoke first.
"Is it necessary to be so anxious? The Great Elder and his team are confident that the seal will be successful. The Fifth Elder has just returned. If you rush over, it will give the other party the illusion that we are eager to migrate over.
Even if the two sides are talking normally, they still need to make a good plan. Otherwise, I think the initiative is completely in the hands of the other party. It is difficult to reach a good result in such a rush!"
The third elder said with a serious expression.
The Second Elder's sudden decision is really not the best way of negotiation. Even if the Tianli tribe wants to migrate, they should wear down the other side's edge so that there will be better room for negotiation.
“Hehehe… I don’t think so. We are now in an unknown stage. After all, the seal of the fifth-level wind beast underground is just a guess. Good or bad may only take a moment.
But it's just right that we can still free up some manpower to go out before Yan San and the others turn against us again.
In addition, we also need to further understand the details of the Qionglin Sect, so that when the Great Elder goes there next time, we can better grasp the bottom line of both parties!"
At this time, the Fourth Elder just laughed and began to refute the Third Elder. Now everyone understood that the attitude of the party headed by the Second Elder was very firm.
The second elder also stopped talking, but his gaze moved from the first elder to Gong Shanhe, and then from Gong Shanhe to the first elder.
"Then the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder, please be careful. I won't say more. After all, we are from the same clan!"
Just as an eerie silence began to appear in the hall, Gong Shanhe fixed his eyes on the Second Elder and spoke with a serious expression, and his last sentence was spoken very solemnly.
“Thank you, Patriarch!”
The second elder bowed slightly to Gong Shanhe, then turned around, no longer looking at anyone, and strode out of the hall. The fourth elder also smiled slightly and followed the second elder out of the hall.
"Please inform me if there is anything else!"
When Hong Yin's voice echoed in the hall, her figure had already disappeared. The purpose of her coming here was to confirm the seal. She didn't care about the internal fighting among the Tianli tribe.
However, if something really happened, she would of course only listen to Gong Shanhe's orders. Even if she was asked to deal with the Second Elder, she would not hesitate at all. It's just killing.
She hated to nag about things. According to her temper, if there were anyone disobedient in a sect, she would just purge them out.
"I will personally deliver the sixth level technique to you in a moment!"
Gong Shanhe nodded to Li Yan. At this time, Gong Chenying had also stood beside Li Yan. Then the two of them said no more and left the "Tianli Palace" together.
It seems that Gong Shanhe wants to discuss something privately with the Great Elder and others, and he doesn't want Li Yan and Hong Yin to participate in these matters.
In fact, with the intelligence of Hong Yin and Li Yan, they could basically guess what they were going to discuss. Li Yan, like Hong Yin, actually hated to get involved in such boring fights and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
In a secret room of the Tianli tribe, there are seven luminous pearls above the head that sparkle with soft light, illuminating the secret room brightly.
The second elder, the fourth elder, and the fifth elder were sitting together. The light stretched the shadows of each of them diagonally all the way to a wall at the back. After bending, they were strangely projected vertically onto the wall.
"Second brother, what do you think about the seal?"
The Fourth Elder looked at the Second Elder. They called each other more intimately in private.
The second elder was half leaning on the back of a wide chair, holding a huge water pipe in his hand. Many people in the Tianli tribe like to smoke this kind of water pipe since they were teenagers. It can remove moisture from the body and refresh the mind.
The environment in which the Tianli tribe lives is somewhat humid all year round, but this has no effect on the cultivators.
However, the Second Elder had developed this habit since he was young. Even when he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would still take out his cigarette and smoke for a while when he was thinking about a problem or when he was alone.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
After a series of sounds, the second elder slowly exhaled a puff of milky white smoke.
"Gong Shengguang is better at controlling the overall situation than you and me!
He would not joke about the lives of his people. Although I was not around when the seal was being sealed, Gong Shengguang would definitely be on guard against Li Yan and would repeatedly confirm the results! !
Moreover, after fighting against the three tribes of wind beasts for so many years, what kind of cunning man is Yan San? Do you think he is easy to fool? This man is the most sinister one among all the wind beasts we have seen in history! ! "
Having said this, he put his mouth into the huge bamboo tube again and made the "Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle..." sound again.
"So, that kid surnamed Li really succeeded in sealing it? But what you mean, second brother... why do the people of the tribe want to migrate? The intentions of the Qionglin Sect are definitely not pure!!"
The Fifth Elder had swallowed a pill at this time, his complexion had returned to normal, and his tone was full of questions.
He was not really stupid. When he was talking with the "Qionglin Sect", he also saw the other party's intentions and was always cautious against them.
But just after he came back today, after communicating with the Second Elder, the other party actually asked him to refute the sealing result no matter what the First Elder and others said, and at the same time showed that he was eager to migrate.
This made him, who had just returned, start to do as he was told before he had figured out the seal. However, it was also true that he disliked Li Yan, who had blocked the development of other branches with his own strength.
"Old Five, that's exactly why!"
The Fourth Elder had seen through the Second Elder's words and sighed in his heart. He understood the Second Elder's intention today. In one word, "checks and balances!"
"Fourth brother, please be more clear!"
Although the Fifth Elder was not stupid, he did not like to think about problems when he was in front of the Second Elder and others. Both of them were smarter than him, so they could just tell him the answer.
"The seal was successful. Li Yan is the 'King Qing', the son-in-law of Gong Shanhe, and the great benefactor of the Tianli tribe. This result can only enhance Gong Shanhe's prestige and make his position more and more stable. It will be more difficult for us to regain the position of tribe leader.
Therefore, Second Brother asked you to do that in order to suppress the effect of the seal. After that, you can even secretly release the news that there is a problem with the seal.
Not only would the influence of the seal be greatly reduced, it would even cause all kinds of suspicion among the tribe members. Another point is that Li Yan cannot be allowed to easily obtain the last three levels of skills, as they can only be inherited and comprehended by entering the Zudi tribe.
Every time he enters into contemplation, the power of faith in Qiongqi will be consumed. Every bit of faith power lost will require millions of people to spend many years of devout prayer to accumulate it again. "
The fourth elder said with a sigh.
They fought with each other and competed for various resources in the tribe, including the people's hearts.
"Humph, Li Yan!"
After hearing the fourth elder's explanation, especially after hearing Li Yan's name, the fifth elder couldn't help but snorted heavily.
He couldn't beat the opponent, but the character of the Tianli people is to practice when they can't win. Sooner or later, they will beat the opponent to a pulp. It's impossible to make him surrender easily.
"So do we really have to go over and discuss the migration with the Qionglin Clan?"
The fifth elder then continued to ask. He had already thought of a possibility, but the result surprised him.
At this time, the second elder raised his head again.
"We must go over and negotiate, and try to get some islands within the Qionglin Gate. The intention conveyed to you by the other party means there is room for negotiation.
Moreover, we have reached the point where we have to talk. One of the biggest reasons why I want to go and talk in person is that Li Yan only gave the spell to seal the fifth-level 'Yinshan Beast' to Gong Shengguang and Gong Shanhe.
This is the most critical and important point. The biggest hidden danger here is the fifth-level wind beast, and the means of controlling it are in their hands.
In the future, even if we obtain the position of clan leader, as long as our cultivation level fails to surpass Gong Shengguang, the sealing formula will most likely still not appear in our hands.
To put it bluntly, without the sealing technique, Yan San will only join forces with them, and the power of the clan is still in their hands."
The second elder put down the hookah in his hand, his eyes like an eagle.
“So, we must go over and negotiate with the ‘Qionglin Clan’, and the fourth brother must also stay in the clan and pay attention to Gong Shengguang and his men’s every move.
Once I have reached an agreement over there, a lot of initiatives and resources will be in our hands. If we can get the support of the "Qionglin Gate", we will have the capital to come back and negotiate with Gong Shengguang.
If Gong Shengguang gives us the resources we want, we will stay here. Otherwise, we will lead our people away from here!"
When he said the word "we", his tone became a little heavier.
Although the Fifth Elder had some guesses in his mind, he was still shocked after hearing the news, while the Fourth Elder had a smile on his face.
… …
In another secret room, the Great Elder, Gong Shanhe, the Third Elder, and the Sixth Elder also gathered together.
"They are trying to separate the tribe. If the high priest knew that the Tianli tribe had come to this point, he would definitely suppress Miao Youxian on the spot!"
The third elder had a cold look on his face at this moment, and there was a faint fluctuation of magical power on his body.
"First of all, the Second Elder only asked to go over and talk to the Qionglin Sect, but did not clearly express his attitude. We certainly cannot force him to do anything.
Secondly, even if he proposed to take his people away from here, we could only restrict the allocation of resources, but we could not stop him at all.
Without the high priest, the various branches of the Tianli tribe cannot be completely united, even if the great elder and I join forces. That is the human heart, the human heart of a clan. They are not surnamed Gong, Sikou or Kuaye. "
Gong Shanhe frowned. Of course, they had guessed the Second Elder's thoughts. After so many years of intrigue, they knew each other very well.
"But what I'm worried about is that the Second Elder is too eager for quick success and might fall into the trap of the other party. How about you accompany them, Shanhe?"
The Great Elder also frowned and looked up at Gong Shanhe.
“Don’t talk about me. Even if you ask the Sixth Elder to accompany them, he will be rejected. The Second Elder will not let us go with them, so as not to disturb his plan.
But I can try to ask, and if he really agrees, then I will go with them."
Gong Shanhe shook his head. He had already considered this and the possibility was very small.
… …
On a mountain peak behind the Tianli tribe, Li Yan and Gong Chenying were sitting side by side under a big tree. The tree was towering, and its huge crown was like a giant umbrella, swaying only slightly in the mountain breeze.
After Li Yan and Gong Chenying came out of the "Tianli Palace", they suggested taking a walk.
Gong Chenying agreed immediately. Li Yan had been on the go ever since he came to the Tianli tribe a few years ago, and the two of them did not have much time to be together alone.
When we get together occasionally, we always talk about how to deal with wind beasts. It's rare that we can have some free time now.
The last time Li Yan tested the Buddhist beads magic weapon, he had been to the back mountain of the Tianli tribe. He liked the place quite much because it was vast, sparsely populated and very quiet.
Li Yan still prefers an environment like that of Xiaozhu Peak, where it is quiet and peaceful to live, and there is no such power struggle among the fellow disciples in Xiaozhu Peak.
Soon, they chose a place on the top of a cliff. Looking from the top of the mountain, they could see a sea of green trees, which undulated like waves in the mountain breeze.
The wind blew on my cheeks, and from time to time, three or two birds circled in the sky, but after sensing the breath of Li Yan and the others, a few hisses came from afar, and when the sound resounded between heaven and earth, they had already flapped their wings and flew away!
Gong Chenying leaned her head on Li Yan's broad shoulders.
