Chapter 1422: Chapter 1035: What a Huge Piece of Gossip!

This banquet was unprecedentedly grand.

Miss Chan Yu, slightly shy with her glasses, arrived. Upon hearing about the relocation plans, her mind quickly became active as she eagerly inquired, hoping to find a prosperous place for the many demon cultivators of Mist Barrier Swamp to reside first;

Miss Little Eight, the new Valley Master of Spiders Valley, raised her eight hands in agreement. After all, Spiders Valley was established on the skeletal remains of a divine spider from the God-Demon War era. After she succeeded as the Valley Master, she refined it, ready to uproot and take the clan to the New World at any time.

City Lord Ming was very anxious. The Furious Fire Bear Race had just started a good life by mining and selling firestones, and sudden relocation turmoil inevitably caused heavy concerns. Moreover, progeny for the Furious Fire Bear Race were already difficult; the young Angry Fire Bears belonged to the category of demon beasts, and when separated from demon cultivators, wouldn’t it mean having no successors?

"There’s no rush for the relocation of Spiders Valley and Sand Hill City," comforted Jiang Yuan. "Demon cultivators across the entire Wilderness World are in the billions, and peaceful migration is not something that can be completed in a short time. Moreover, there will undoubtedly be conflicts and friction at the time, making it even slower.

These two places of yours require long-term rest and recuperation, especially as Spiders Valley is still searching for clan members scattered outside. How about I help you find a suitable place to live, secure the land first, and then relocate later?"

As the "master" of integrating the New World, securing two pieces of Feng Shui treasures was a piece of cake for Jiang Yuan.

With the matter settled, everyone felt relieved.

Previously, organizing banquets was Hu Zhile’s responsibility, but now that she and Yun Mo were training in the Time Pavilion, Bai Yunqi took on the task of coordination. However, given the large number of people from the Ancient Ten Great Sects, after discussing with Yun Shu and Yun Ying, they decided to divide the banquet into two parts.

One part was led by Mr. Jiang and Yan Xuan, hosting the sect leaders, elders, city lords, and other high-ranking individuals on the Jade Platform;

The remaining disciples of the Ancient Ten Great Sects were to feast in the forests around the city walls responsible for them.

On the Jade Platform, seats were arranged in order of precedence;

In the forests of the Divine Mountain, groups of three or five surrounded a few dishes of delicacies, spirit fruits, and two pots of wine, either sitting freely on the ground or drinking on their own with uninhibited abandon. This way, the authorities wouldn’t be disturbed in their discussions, and the young disciples wouldn’t feel constrained in the presence of their elders.

Jiang Yuan set the automatic cooking, with plates of delicious dishes coming out hot and fragrant, directly into the warehouse.

Bai Yunqi waived his long sleeves, using a bit of mana, sending cold and hot dishes flowing onto the table.

"Mr. Jiang, Brother Lan and I invited ourselves unasked, hoping for a cup of wine." At the height of the excitement, Du Li and Lan Shanying, led by Qu Luming, arrived fashionably late.

Jiang Yuan looked up and was startled!

[Lan Shanying: Colorful-scaled Snake Demon of Boundaryless Mountain, former Alliance Leader of the Demon Realm Alliance, Mahayana Eighth Layer Demon Cultivator, super high-level monster. Easygoing yet loyal, for being rescued from near death by Demon Realm’s demon cultivator Yun Li in youth, swore fealty to him as a death warrior.

The Demon Lord Yun Li devised a fake Demon Realm invasion plan, with Lan Shanying acting as the highest insider.

To help Yun Li smoothly proceed with the plan, Lan Shanying disguised himself, found Ugly Slave to seek out formation master Hao Daqiang to customize the Separation Fire Array, providing protection for the Demon Cultivator’s Action Station 7...]

Bai Yunqi had already risen to greet them warmly.

Rapidly scanning through the long detailed appraisal, Jiang Yuan internally roared in fury—damn, who would have guessed that the Demon Realm Alliance Leader was the biggest traitor!

No wonder once the Demon Realm’s invasion plan encountered trouble, he emerged from seclusion!

The decapitation plan was actually devised together with the Demon Lord Yun Li!

Had it not been for a mishap on the Demon Realm’s side, causing the replacement for Jiu Mu, Luo Nanjia, to be such a letdown, the plan to assassinate the Great Demon Cultivator and frame other forces could very well have succeeded, leading the Wilderness into chaos.

"Goodness, what trick is Demon Lord Yun Li playing?" he silently grumbled in his mind. Curiously, the system however deemed Lan Shanying to even meet the criteria for joining as a guest!

Jiang Yuan exchanged a few polite words while inviting the two to sit, his mind racing.

The system’s recognition of Lan Shanying’s character not considering his collusion with demon cultivators harming the Wilderness World as wrong.

This meant that Yun Li’s fake Demon Realm invasion plan was merely a feigned move, intended to create chaos in the Wilderness World.

Through the secretly arranged market eyes, like Brother No.1 Du Yiyun and Wo Hu Temple’s Treasure Pavilion Master Cang Lingdong and other demon cultivators’ assistance, was the ultimate goal merely to drive demon cultivators out of the Wilderness?

Otherwise, it’s hard to explain the system’s high evaluation of Lan Shanying.

If so, the "collusion" between demon cultivators and demon cultivators was merely to evict demon cultivators from the Wilderness, akin to the migration plan he was now overseeing.

Could it be... that the Demon Lord Yun Li also wanted to rectify the situation?

Importantly, why would a mere demon cultivator strain themselves in such a roundabout "rescue" of the Wilderness? Nowadays the Demon Realm is controlled by the Regent Throne, where has Yun Li gone?

Alliance Leader Lan turns out to be Demon Lord Yun Li’s death warrior, such explosive gossip could only be temporarily kept to himself. Jiang Yuan accepted the toast with a smile, feeling very conflicted, yearning for someone to gossip with!

"This time, we have come to an agreement, with Brother Lan, to join under Mr. Jiang as carefree guests," Du Li began after the wine had circulated three times. "Long ago, you graciously taught me, but I, greedy and stupid, regarded the Power of the Heavenly Dao as the Demon Realm Alliance’s supreme treasure.

Now that the Divine Beast Black Tortoise has ascended, I witnessed firsthand its use of the Power of the Heavenly Dao with added blessings, realizing my immense ignorance. The truth now exposed, my obsession dissolved, heart demon dispersed and the Demon Realm Alliance is no longer existent, without attachments.

I hope you can disregard past grievances, and take us both in. From now on, we heed any needs commanded; otherwise, we wish to settle in this paradise-like courtyard to cultivate in peace."
