Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 467: Contact
After the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family, along with Meng Zhang, met with the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect, they just spoke out the preliminary agreement they had reached with the Lion Demon General when Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master immediately erupted, showing great anger. If it weren’t for Meng Zhang’s intervention in the middle, the two sides might have started arguing again.
Meng Zhang talked and talked, finally calming them down and letting them hear the whole story. When Qi Nanfei Daoist Master finished telling the whole story, Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master remained silent with a stern face.
Originally, the Flying Swan Sect had targeted the Lion Demon General as their first attack target. However, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Northern Desert Qi Family secretly made moves behind everyone’s back and got involved with the Lion Demon General. How could the Flying Swan Sect not be angry?
As a neutral party, Meng Zhang said a lot of good things in the middle. Moreover, Qi Nanfei Daoist Master also stated that teaming up with the Lion Demon General was just a temporary measure. After eliminating the Dark Crow Demon General, they could turn around and eliminate the Lion Demon General as well.
Meng Zhang agreed with Qi Nanfei Daoist Master’s words on the surface, but secretly kept laughing. They really thought they could fool the Third Rank demon beast and take it for a fool.
After Qi Nanfei Daoist Master spoke, Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master knew they couldn’t directly oppose this matter. Most of their angry expressions were just a pretense, trying to fight for more benefits for the Flying Swan Sect.
After discussing and arguing for a while, the several Gold Core Daoist Masters finally reached a consensus. Anyway, they would contact the Lion Demon General first and see the effect.
Next, Fei Yu Daoist Master, Meng Zhang, and Qi Nanfei, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters, went to negotiate with the Lion Demon General.
The Lion Demon General, a lone demon, dared to meet with three Gold Core Daoist Masters. As a Third Rank middle-grade demon beast, even if it couldn’t fight against three Gold Core early-stage cultivators, it could still retreat without any problem.
After meeting, the Lion Demon General’s attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and it didn’t show any fear of human cultivators. As soon as it spoke, it viciously cursed the Dark Crow Demon General, looking like it was at odds with the other.
After Meng Zhang entered the Gold Core stage, their innate Divine Ability, Mind Reading, also greatly improved. Of course, basically all Gold Core Daoist Masters wouldn’t easily let same-level cultivators read their thoughts. The process of forming the core was a highly condensed process of spirit and energy. After forming the core, the spirit was gathered and couldn’t be easily shaken by Mind Reading-type Divine Abilities.
Third Rank demon beasts and human Gold Core cultivators were at the same level of existence. Meng Zhang’s Mind Reading was also difficult to directly read their thoughts.
However, vaguely, Meng Zhang could still judge that the Lion Demon General’s hatred for the Dark Crow Demon General was very real. But this didn’t prove anything. The fact that the Lion Demon General hated the Dark Crow Demon General didn’t mean it had good intentions towards human cultivators.
After the Lion Demon General finished cursing, they finally got to the point. The Lion Demon General expressed its willingness to help the human side attack the Dark Crow Demon General. How to help? It could provide intelligence for human cultivators, not only would it not assist the Dark Crow Demon General, but it would also prevent other demon beasts from reinforcing the Dark Crow Demon General.
Of course, the so-called help from the Lion Demon General couldn’t satisfy the human cultivators, especially Fei Yu Daoist Master. What if the Lion Demon General launched a surprise attack from behind when the human cultivators attacked the Dark Crow Demon General?Therefore, Fei Yu Daoist Master insisted that the Lion Demon General join human cultivators in attacking the Dark Crow Demon General. Naturally, the Lion Demon General would not agree to this request. According to its words, if it openly allied with humans, how could it convince its subordinates and establish itself in the Demon Wind Gobi?
After arguing for a long time, because the differences were too great, they couldn’t come to an agreement at all. Qi Nanfei Daoist Master was also a little unhappy. When the Lion Demon General contacted him, it wasn’t with the current set of words.
The Lion Demon General had said that it wanted to join forces with humans to deal with the Dark Crow Demon General. Unhappy or not, Qi Nanfei Daoist Master couldn’t just watch Fei Yu Daoist Master and the Lion Demon General completely break down.
The two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family had long known that the White Lion Demon King had left behind a treasure, and they coveted it very much. Many years ago, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family had secretly sneaked into the Demon Wind Gobi, trying to take the treasure from the Dark Crow Demon General. However, even if the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family teamed up, they were no match for the Dark Crow Demon General. They were defeated by the Dark Crow Demon General and fled in a panic.
The Lion Demon General, who also wanted to take the White Lion Demon King’s legacy, met the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family at that time. However, at that time, the two sides didn’t trust each other, and the Dark Crow Demon General had a good relationship with the Golden Tiger Demon General, and had the full support of the Poison Sand Demon General. Even if they teamed up, they had no chance of winning.
Many years later, the human cultivators invaded the Demon Wind Gobi on a large scale, sweeping all the way and advancing to the vicinity of the Lion Demon General’s lair. At this time, the Lion Demon General secretly contacted Qi Nanfei Daoist Master.
The Lion Demon General admitted that the treasure that the Qi Family wanted to take was of no use to it. As long as the Qi Family teamed up with it to break through the Dark Crow Demon General’s lair, the treasure could belong to the Qi Family, but all of the White Lion Demon King’s other legacies would belong to it.
The Qi Family and the Lion Demon General reached a preliminary agreement after they agreed to cooperate. After that, the Qi Family informed Meng Zhang and the Flying Swan Sect. Qi Nanfei, who had selfish motives, of course hoped that the cooperation could be successfully achieved.
Of course, both sides were very cautious about such a major matter. This was only the first contact between the two sides, and it was normal that they couldn’t come to an agreement at once.
Finally, Fei Yu Daoist Master and the Lion Demon General parted ways unhappily. But with Qi Nanfei’s mediation, the two sides agreed to continue negotiations next time.
After that, the two sides contacted each other several times, but the progress of the negotiations was not significant. In the end, it was still a problem of mutual distrust. Whether it was the Lion Demon General or Fei Yu Daoist Master, they were very wary of each other. Even Qi Nanfei, who was trying to promote this matter, didn’t really believe in the Lion Demon General, and was also wary of the Flying Swan Sect.
Although Luo Ye and Gu Yue Huaidie didn’t participate in the negotiations, Meng Zhang told them everything about the negotiation process without any omission every time they returned. Although Luo Ye was not the kind of person who was good at scheming and calculating, as someone from the Dark Alliance, she was used to all kinds of vicious means and tricks. She sneered at this kind of so-called negotiation. It was Gu Yue Huaidie who, after listening, thought for a while and proposed a very bold plan.
As the strategist of the Gu Yue Family, besides her unknown Diviner identity, Gu Yue Huaidie was also known for her resourcefulness and often came up with ingenious plans.
