Inside the quiet giant gourd, the Realm Master, dressed in green clothes and with plain face and black hair, sat quietly on the vine seat above.
Below are hundreds of important ministers of the world tree.
Prime Minister Rongmuke was bending down with his fists clasped and talking.
"It is reported that Wankong Sect has joined forces with masters from Wenjian Sect, Luo Tongmen and Xingyun Sword Pavilion to build a cross-border bridge in order to forcefully cross the boundary and enter our Wanhua Realm. My subordinates predict that they will arrive at Wanhua Realm naturally in seven days. door."
As soon as he finished saying this, the officials started to commotion.
"They actually united four sects to deal with us in the Wanhua Realm... What do the people from the Wankong Sect want to do??"
"Is this putting pressure on us?"
"Although our Wanhua Realm is not as good as the Sword World, it is still an independent interface. Do they still want to destroy our Wanhua Realm with just a few sects??"
"Lord, although we in the Wanhua Realm advocate peace, we cannot maintain peace with words. Doing so will only make others think that we, the Wanhua Realm people, are easy to bully." A middle-aged woman stood up He came out, clasped his fists and said, "Boundary Lord, do you still remember why we issued a ban to prohibit people from other interfaces from entering the Wanhua Realm? It is precisely because after they entered the realm, they wreaked havoc and ignored the laws, causing great harm to our Wanhua Realm. They have left indelible scars. But what is the fundamental reason? It is precisely because people from other realms believe that we Wanhua realm people will not kill easily. Even if they violate the law, they can still get away with it. That is why we are in today's situation. , Boundary Lord, I think we should organize a stronger army to drive out those outsiders. There is no need for a place like Linglong Mountain!!"
After saying this, he immediately received a group of people's approval.
"Master Liu is right. If we continue, it will only make those arrogant people even more arrogant!"
"We must come up with some means to show them, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
People shouted and were quite excited.
The Realm Lord remained silent.
Seeing this, Rong Muke shook his head: "Master Liu, you are serious! Once we do this, the foundation of our Wanhua Realm will be lost."
"Does the Prime Minister still have any concerns?" the woman named Master Liu asked.
"Of course." Rongmuke said calmly: "It is reported that the True Demon Realm has received the news that Wan Kong Sect is attacking our Wanhua Realm. Although the True Demon Realm has not taken any action, I am very worried that they will get involved at this time. I thought , it would be the best thing not to fight against the Wankong Sect members, otherwise once the two sides fight, it will be out of control."
"The real demon world!" Mr. Liu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "These bastards are only interested in profit. They are all villains. If I have magical powers, I will destroy them!"
"Not everyone in the True Demon Realm is evil. Those who invade our Wanhua Realm are just a few evil forces. If there is any change in the True Demon Realm, why can't we invite some foreign aid? After all, these evil people are public enemies." An old man stood up and said.
"Yes, we can also invite some sect forces to deal with the people of Wan Kong Clan. Mr. Liu, the people of Linglong Mountain can't move. We may not be sure what will happen this time. We have to rely on the various sects in Linglong Mountain!"
"Humph, will they help? Those are outsiders and they only care about themselves." Master Liu said coldly.
"You can't say that. Now they also live in the Wanhua Realm and are already in the same boat. Now that the Wanhua Realm is in crisis, how can they stand idly by?"
"That's what they say, but people's hearts are unpredictable..."
…
The ministers argued and had constant opinions, and even Rong Muke chimed in from time to time, making the scene very noisy.
However, after discussing for a long time, no suitable decision was reached, which is really worrying.
The Realm Master above was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking quietly at the ministers below, neither speaking nor showing any expression, as if she was thinking about something, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
"Report!!"
At this time, a soldier wearing green armor rushed in from Hulukou. The soldier looked panicked, rushed over quickly, and knelt in front of the world lord.
"What's the matter?"
The Realm Lord finally spoke, his voice crisp and clear, and it filled the noisy gourd cavity with a sound like a clear spring.
However, the soldier's next words left no one in the mood to appreciate this beautiful voice.
"World Lord, there is news from the Sword World that Caiyun Tiangong is involved in this matter. The Thirteenth Elder of Tiangong, Jin Moluo, together with Tiangong masters and disciples, totaling 9,000 people, have arrived at the place where the Wankongmen bridge is built, and they want to enter the bridge with them. Cross the boundary and enter my Wanhua Realm!!"
The soldier shouted, his voice trembling, and almost as soon as he opened his mouth, the whole place fell silent.
After the news was reported, the whole place was still eerily silent, as if even a hair falling to the ground would make a loud noise. People stared at the soldier in confusion for a long time... unable to recover...
"Caiyun Tiangong???"
The middle-aged woman named Master Liu had her mouth knotted and shouted tremblingly: "What you are talking about...is it really Caiyun Tiangong??"
"right."
The soldier's face was pale and his voice was trembling: "My subordinates didn't believe it at first. After asking again and again, the brother said that he had stared at it for half an hour to confirm that it was indeed a person from Caiyun Tiangong... "
People were shocked.
"This time... it's terrible!"
"I didn't expect people from Caiyun Tiangong to intervene in this matter..."
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Exclamations continued to sound. At this moment, not many people talked about resistance anymore. Instead, they all panicked.
It can be seen how powerful this Caiyun Temple is!
"The wife of Xiao Changtian, the master of the Wankong Sect, is named Jin Fengnu. It is said that she came from Caiyun Palace, and the thirteenth elder is named Jin Moluo. Could it be said that this Golden Phoenix girl has anything to do with Jin Moluo? Contact??" Rongmu Kechen said: "Xiao Huailin is the son of Jin Fengnu, so it is not surprising that Caiyun Tiangong would take action."
As the soldier came to report, the boiling gourd cavity gradually became quiet. People were silent, with their heads lowered, as if they were thinking about something. The atmosphere was extremely strange and tense, and a feeling of uneasiness surrounded everyone.
"World Master... If there is Caiyun Tiangong to help us, I'm afraid... it will be extremely difficult for us to compete with them." Rong Muke cupped his fists and said: "Caiyun Tiangong is also famous in the sword world, and no one can compete with it. The intervention of this sect is probably of a just nature. It’s different…”
"What does the Prime Minister think we should do?" The Realm Master looked at Rong Muke and spoke softly.
Rongmuke pursed his lower lip and said: "If only forces like Wan Kong Sect had intervened before, we would have been very likely to argue, and we would not have been without confidence to even fight with them. But now that Caiyun Tiangong has intervened and the nature has changed, we are arguing... No, fighting... let alone no, at this point, there is only one way to go..." At this point, Rongmuke stopped talking.
The Realm Master looked at him and said calmly: "Do you mean to compromise with them?"
"Besides, it's hard to avoid weapons." Rong Muke said.
"But if so, we must hand over the person who killed Xiao Huailin." The Realm Master said lightly: "This is extremely unfair to her. Everyone knows what Xiao Huailin did in our Wanhua Realm. She killed Xiao Huailin actually stopped his misbehavior and maintained the peace of Wanhua Realm."
"But if she is not handed over, there will be no peace in the Wanhua Realm." Rong Muke sighed.
The Realm Lord was silent again.
After a long while, she raised her head and said calmly: "You should step back first. Let me think twice about this matter."
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, and finally they clasped their fists, bent over, and retreated.
A group of people exited Hulukou bustling and whispering to each other, but it was obvious that everyone's face still showed worry and nervousness.
The arrival of Caiyun Tiangong was like a blow to the head, making them very uncomfortable.
"Master Rongmuke, what should we do now? Judging from the way the Realm Master is acting, it seems that he does not intend to hand over the murderer of Xiao Huailin! If this is the case, won't our Wanhua Realm be in catastrophe?"
An important minister walked over quickly and said worriedly to Rongmuke.
However, Rong Muke couldn't help but shake his head and said quietly: "The Realm Master will have his own plans, so don't worry too much."
After saying that, he ignored these Jieshu ministers, bowed his head and walked away quickly.
A group of ministers saw it and were confused.
And the important minister was even more helpless.
"It seems that Master Rongmuke also supports the Realm Lord and does not want to hand over the murderer of Xiao Huailin." The person next to him said calmly as he looked at Rongmuke who was walking away.
"If we hand it over, the reputation of our Wanhua Realm may not be preserved."
"But if we don't hand it over, the only one we can't protect is our Wanhua Realm! Compared to the Wanhua Realm, why is a mere reputation important?"
"At this point, it is useless to argue about this. We will definitely be unable to defeat us. But if the Realm Lord is unwilling to compromise, what else can we do?"
"Once the war starts, we are no match for the Caiyun Tiangong people. I'm afraid that there will be many fewer of us here."
"Mao? If the other party gets angry, I'm afraid we will all be killed by the people from Caiyun Tiangong!"
"Hey, what can I do?"
This group of people gathered around, talking and sighing, and voices of helplessness came and went.
"Hey, let me tell you guys, since the Realm Lord is not willing to compromise, why don't we compromise... How about?"
At this moment, a man with a flat head and a scar at the corner of his eye whispered.
Everyone followed the sound and found that the person speaking was none other than the newly appointed chief guard of Jieshu, a wealthy businessman.
The Chief of Guards is the person responsible for the defense forces around the Boundary Tree. The previous Chief of Guards died unexpectedly due to a certain mission, and was succeeded by a wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman was transferred from elsewhere, and everyone is not familiar with him yet.
But at this juncture, the wealthy businessman's remarks really shocked everyone.
"Compromise? Rich businessman, what do you want to do?" Mr. Liu said coldly, seeming to be quite disgusted with this person.
But the wealthy businessman smiled slightly: "My lords, I know that you are all thinking about the Wanhua Realm, and you don't want the Wanhua Realm to start a war with other forces. Since this matter can be avoided, why can't we avoid it? Don't you know the world? Why is the Lord unwilling to accept Prime Minister Rongmuke's compromise? Haha, the reason is actually very simple. She just can't let go. She is afraid of criticism from other people in the interface, so she doesn't agree. But what will happen if we have to bear this infamy? ?”
Everyone was stunned when the wealthy businessman finished speaking. Soon, everyone understood what the wealthy businessman meant...
