Half a month later.
A rumble sounded, and the door to a secret room slowly opened.
Ji Liao stepped in, and the door to the secret room closed.
The secret room was small and dimly lit. There were only a few oil lamps embedded in the wall. The orange flames swayed twice as the door to the secret room opened and closed, immediately causing the light in the entire secret room to become unstable.
Ji Liao took a look around and saw four big chairs placed in the secret room. Three people were already seated on them. They were Master Tianhua, Baihuaxian and Great Stone Master.
Ji Liao curled up his lips and said with a smile, "Hehehe, my Taoist friends, long time no see."
Although Ji Liao was a junior in front of them and had just been promoted to Sumeru, because intermediate monks could only reach the Great Realm, his seniority and how long he had been promoted were no longer important.
Ji Liao's powerful killing of Zheng Tiangang and Kudie Fairy a hundred years ago was still vivid in their minds, and it also made them understand that compared with Ji Liao, none of the three of them was Ji Liao's opponent. Therefore, since Ji Liao asked them to come, they Naturally, he didn't dare to offend Ji Liao's face.
Master Jushi suddenly laughed loudly, grinned widely, stood up and cupped his hands towards Ji Liao and replied, "Hey, I haven't seen you Daoist friend Ji for a hundred years. I see that his cultivation has improved again."
After he finished speaking, Xiaohua and Baihuaxi also stood up, but they were not as enthusiastic as the giant stone. They just cupped their hands and sat back down.
"Not long after I first entered Sumeru, I can't even talk about being diligent. It's just a small realization." Ji Liao replied and sat down on the empty chair.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, you are entering the realm so fast, and you are cultivating the Taoism of Reincarnation. Monks like us who have been stuck in the Sumeru realm for many years can't compare with you." Master Big Rock immediately became very enthusiastic after he sat down. Ji Liao said flatteringly.
Baihuaxian and Tianhua couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This master of the giant stone was usually a free-spirited master, and they had not seen him use this kind of tone to anyone for many years. He even had a somewhat flattering tone. This is surprising.
Ji Liao was naturally aware of what the Great Master was doing, and kept his expression calm. He smiled softly, "It was just a mistake."
"It's possible to accidentally bump into someone. Taoist friend is too modest." Master Jushi replied, with a warm demeanor as if he had been a close friend of Ji Liao for millions of years.
Ji Liao glanced around and refused to answer Jushi's words. He changed the topic and said, "By the way, when I returned to the sect, I heard that several sects over there in Luoying Valley were already fighting?"
Bai Huachuan, who had never been fond of ascended monks, trembled when he heard this, and nodded the crutch in his hand, "Since our fellow Taoist asked us to come, we should already know what we are doing, so why bother asking questions knowingly now."
Ji Liao's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Baihuachen who was not far away, "So, it's Ji who is showing off his shame!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere immediately became a bit strange, and there was a brief silence in the venue.
The man on the boulder quickly turned his big eyes and immediately started to smooth things over. He laughed and said, "It's useless to say that."
, Fellow Taoist came back at the right time. Your return this time will be a great help to us, and we will be a little more confident. "
In the long-standing confrontation, the strength of the four of them was barely able to compete with the nine opposing families, but this time when the disaster occurred, the cold winter wind suddenly closed down, leaving the three of them in a passive position.
Although the companies on the opposite side also suffered casualties, they were still much stronger than them on the whole. What's more, they had hired several helpers recently, and they were no match for the companies on the opposite side.
Ji Liao was quite strong. Joining them at this time really gave them a lot of confidence. It was precisely because of this that they were able to put down their posture and come to Tianzhi Mountain to meet Ji Liao.
"I still have important things to do, and I won't be able to stay in Tianshi Mountain for too long." Ji Liao said.
"What! Are you leaving?" The man on the boulder exclaimed as his smiling face changed.
Xiaohua, who had been silent all this time, swung his eyes rapidly twice and stared at Ji Liao, as if trying to find out whether what Ji Liao said was true or false.
Baihuaxuan's old face darkened, and he snorted heavily, "The cold winter wind can't get out of seclusion, but you come back and say you want to leave. What do you mean by Tianshitishan? Do you really want them to eat a few of our sects?" Awesome!"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Ji, this is an important matter for the sect, so we can't be careless." Master Jushi answered.
"Now the Split Heaven Immortal Valley has disappeared, and the disciples' path to promotion has been cut off. If we want to preserve the sect, it is impossible with the strength of our small sects. Now that their fights are gradually disappearing, I guess they must have achieved something. According to the agreement, there is a great possibility that they want to merge into one sect and establish a very large sect, but the prerequisite is to annex several of us." Xiaohua analyzed and said.
Ji Liao smiled and glanced at Tianhua and praised, "Fellow Tianhua is indeed an ascended monk, and what he thinks coincides with that of Ji."
Baihuaxuan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Since Daoist Fellow Ji knows what they are thinking, why do you want to leave now?"
"For the moment, regardless of whether they have the idea of uniting into one sect, let's first talk about what you fellow Taoists think? Do you want to repel them and maintain the status quo, or completely destroy them, and then ours? Are we going to fight each other and only leave our respective inheritances?" Ji Liao did not answer Baihuaxian, but threw the topic back and asked.
"This..." Master Boulder hesitated, and then looked at each other with Baihuaxian and Tianhua. It was obvious that the three of them had already touched each other's bottoms before.
"This is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity. If we can wipe out several of them, wouldn't it be better for our four families to unite into one clan?" Tianhua said.
Master Jushi immediately answered, "Yes, if we can destroy them, why should our four families harm themselves? Besides, even if there is only one family left in the end, we may not be able to maintain our current status with our individual strength." Territory, so the best way is to unite our four families into one sect and establish a very large sect."
Ji Liao sneered in his heart. This idea had already occurred to him when he left the Split Heaven Immortal Valley. The plan they mentioned at this time was already within his expectation.
"Since all fellow Taoists have such thoughts, then I will make the decision for my Tianshi Mountain and agree to this matter." Ji Liao said, paused and then continued, "As for the establishment of sects in the future, who will our sects serve? For the sake of the Lord, we will talk about it later, so don’t worry about it now.”
"That's nice to say. The way you are doing in Tianzhishan now, is it because you don't want to take advantage of it? How can there be such a good thing in the world!" Baihuaxu didn't buy Ji Liao's account at all and sneered at Ji Liao.
"Hehehe, Taoist friend is joking again." Ji Liao chuckled, and then continued, "They have already established a trend, but it is not difficult for us to break the trend."
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, you already have a countermeasure?" Jushi's eyes lit up.
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded.
"Then tell me quickly." Jushi urged.
"They have just joined forces not long ago. I think they must have some extraneous intentions now. The three of you should take this opportunity to pretend to surrender and say that we, Tianzhishan, are timid and fearful. We are no longer their opponents and are willing to join forces with them to deal with others. Several companies, at the same time, are willing to share more benefits with them, even if they are their masters."
"Hmph, do you think they are all fools? Can't you see that this is sowing discord?" Baihuaxuan said.
"Yes, they won't believe such a rough approach." Jushi said.
Ji Liao smiled confidently, "They might not believe it if it's normal, but if something stirs up at this time, that's not necessarily the case.
Tianhua's eyes trembled again when he heard this, and he pursed his lips, pondering the meaning of Ji Liao's words.
"What a wave!"
"What waves?"
Master Boulder and Baihuaxian asked at the same time.
"Who is the strongest among them right now? Or who has the most helpers?" Ji Liao did not answer directly, but asked again.
At this moment, Jushi just felt that Ji Liao's words were so convoluted. He, who never liked to use his brain, was confused.
On the contrary, Xiaohua found out the clues about Ji Liao and said, "It should be the woman from Qingyi Sect's Chongniao. Her strength is top-notch among the dozen of us, and the sect's strength is also among the few of our sects." The strongest one, and she was the first to find help. I think it must be her idea to stop fighting and attack us instead."
"Hey, then what do you think will happen if she dies, and the helpers she found die too?" Ji Liao chuckled.
The current situation is like a tight rope. Everyone is tensed up. If there is any disturbance, it will cause huge waves.
Xiaohua followed Ji Liao's words and deduced, and suddenly understood what Ji Liao meant, and spoke again, "Once the insect bird dies, their family will definitely be caught off guard, and the balance that was just formed will be shaky, plus the things we have thrown away before Olive branch, in panic, they will definitely grab this life-saving straw first, we are fanning the flames, it will not be difficult to get them to fight again."
"Fellow Taoist is really smart." Ji Liao smiled and glanced at the smallpox.
