Chapter 1701 - 1698: Yan Family Plants Their Flag

Chapter 1701: Chapter 1698: Yan Family Plants Their Flag

On the Spirit Ship, Sun Xingyu, after appearing here, kept searching for Yang Fei and a group of cultivators from Earth with his eyes.

However, he didn’t find a single familiar figure.

"Don’t worry, Sun Lang," Yan Xihua sensed Sun Xingyu’s concern and quickly reassured him, "I said before, I don’t know about the others, but your brother Yang Fei will be fine, at least he won’t die."

Sun Xingyu nodded silently, but it was impossible not to worry.

But now he was only able to return to the Shang Qing Sect by relying on the strength of the West Phoenix Valley. Yan Xihua and these powerful figures from the Outer Domain certainly had more important matters to attend to. He understood the importance of the situation and did not rush to find people.

"Elder Tantai, Elder Shen, Elder Wan, and fellow Daoists, it’s been a long time!" Yan Xihua stood at the front of the Spirit Ship, scanning a group of cultivation warriors including Zhantai Chunqiu, Wan Daorong, Shen Wanjing, and Li Shuya, and greeted them with a charming smile.

Zhantai Chunqiu and Shen Wanjing exchanged a glance, seeing a deep sense of helplessness in each other’s eyes.

What was bound to come has finally come.

If the various forces in the Southern Domain had united, the Yan Family from the Central Star Domain would not have found an opportunity to intervene in the Southern Domain.

But the Wangxian Sect was too selfish, coupled with the selfish stupidity of Wang Yuanxiao and his wife, which led to this internal strife in the Shang Qing Sect in the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

Yan Xihua saw that Tantai Chunqiu and Shen Wanjing did not respond immediately, and she wasn’t angry either. She smiled sweetly, "Haha, I specially brought people to support, to help the Shang Qing Sect quell the internal chaos. Are the seniors not welcoming?"

Zhantai Chunqiu glanced at her and said indifferently, "What are the conditions of the Yan Family?"

Before Yan Xihua could speak, a loud voice came from afar, "Master Yan, as long as you are willing to support me, Wang Yuanxiao, I can give the same conditions as they offer and even more concessions."

Zhantai Chunqiu, Shen Wanjing, Wan Daorong, Li Shuya, Zhao Yunzhi and other strong individuals were all furious inside and felt immense sorrow.

This person is too selfish and foolish, negotiating terms at this moment.

As expected, Yan Xihua laughed, looked towards Wang Yuanxiao in the distance, and said, "Wang Yuanxiao, are you true to your word?"

Wang Yuanxiao responded decisively, "I can swear by the Heavenly Dao Oath."

"Haha..."

Yan Xihua laughed uncontrollably, exuding natural charm, looked towards Zhantai Chunqiu, Wan Daorong, and Shen Wanjing, her meaning clear without words.

Look, others offer higher conditions than you, and will you really remain indifferent?

Since my Yan Family is involved, even though the goal is to help your Shang Qing Sect clear the internal chaos and sweep away the corrupt atmosphere in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, we also have our interests, and it doesn’t mean we can only choose you.

After all, Wang Yuanxiao is also a senior figure within the Shang Qing Sect, making him the new Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect isn’t impossible.

Inside, Zhantai Chunqiu sighed, knowing he was truly in a passive position.

He took a deep breath and said, "I wonder what the Yan Family wants?"

Yan Xihua said, "In the future expansion actions of West Phoenix Valley in the Southern Domain, Shifang City and Shang Qing Sect should not interfere too much. Of course, besides that, the benefits regarding Earth should also include a share for me."

Zhantai Chunqiu remained silent, not speaking.

This concerns not only the dominance of the Shang Qing Sect in the Southern Domain but also the overall interest of the existing cultivation sects in the Southern Domain.

The territory is only so large, and the resources are limited. Originally, everything was fine, with everyone managing their own fields, developing harmoniously and happily.

But now, the Yan Family wants to plant their flag in the Southern Domain and will expand aggressively. At that time, it won’t be just the interest of the Shang Qing Sect that’s lost but also those of other cultivation forces in the Southern Domain.

As the current Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect, if Zhantai Chunqiu agrees, countless people will criticize him behind his back in the future.

Shen Wanjing also remained silent.

As the leader of the Shen Family and the master of Shifang City, his influence is as enormous as Zhantai Chunqiu’s, and what he says carries the same weight.

If Zhantai Chunqiu does not express an opinion, how can Shen Wanjing be the first to speak?

However, the current situation is tense, and both sides are at a standstill; whoever first gains the support of the Outer Domain forces can turn the situation around and gain the upper hand.

If they don’t agree, but the Wangxian Sect and Wang Yuanxiao do, and once these Yan Family warriors stand on their side, the situation will be dire for them.

So, no matter how they choose, it’s a mistake.

A deadlock.

Yan Xihua saw that they didn’t immediately agree, but didn’t rush them either.

She believes they will definitely agree.

Beside Wang Yuanxiao, a middle-aged man in a purple Taoist robe and a golden crown, looked sternly at the Spirit Ship on which Yan Xihua stood, continually scanning the seven men in black cloaks standing behind her, with a few grim expressions.

This man is the current Sect Leader of the Wangxian Sect, with the complex surname Lu Qiu, and the single name Shang.

Standing in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, Lu Qiushang, Tantai Chunqiu, and the newly catching up Shen Wanjing were all Half Step Dao Unity strong cultivators, top cultivators touching the threshold of the Unity Realm Stage.

Over the years, the Wangxian Sect has frequently broken the original rules, expanded madly, and its disciples and warriors have become more and more domineering because Lu Qiushang was ambitious and wanted to lead the Wangxian Sect to the peak, becoming the strongest cultivation sect in the Southern Domain.

This time, Wang Yuanxiao caused internal strife in the Shang Qing Sect. Upon learning this, Lu Qiushang immediately brought people to support, making Wangxian Sect brazenly involve themselves in the affairs of others against the conventions of the Cultivation World.

Originally, he thought that with his joining, the Shang Qing Sect would soon collapse, and once he supported Wang Yuanxiao’s rise, the Shang Qing Sect would continuously weaken, leaving only Shifang City’s Shen Family as a rival for the Wangxian Sect.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wanjing personally intervened, causing the situation to stalemate as it is now.

Now, the Yan Family of the Central Star Domain has indeed seen the opportunity and is starting to plant their flag in the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

Lu Qiushang sighed inwardly and decisively said, "We must win over the Yan Family, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Wang Yuanxiao knew the Yan Family’s stance was critical.

If not, why would he stable the situation here even after the pain of losing his beloved son?

Hearing Lu Qiushang speak, Wang Yuanxiao whispered, "Brother Lu Qiu needs to express his stance."

Lu Qiushang frowned slightly but also knew Wang Yuanxiao was telling the truth.

Since his reputation wasn’t great to begin with, it didn’t need to be cared for.

Lu Qiushang immediately stood out and said to Yan Xihua, "Master Yan, the conditions you propose, I, Lu Qiushang, can agree to, and the resources from Earth, you can also take charge of the distribution."

Yan Xihua smiled even more beautifully.

Wan Daorong cursed angrily, "Lu Qiushang, you truly are shameless. Don’t you know how much loss your one sentence will cause the cultivators of the Southern Domain Cultivation World?"

Lu Qiushang snorted coldly and said, "It’s not about how much the Southern Domain Cultivation World will lose, but about how much less resources you, Wan Daorong, the Shang Qing Sect, and Shifang City will get from Earth, right?"
