After the communication was restored, someone immediately sent the news of what had happened in Changping to Jingdu.
Very soon, the major sects could no longer sit still.
“What? A powerful demonic beast has appeared in Changping, and it’s a flood dragon!”
“I heard that Ye Xuan has been the representative and has signed a treaty with the demonic beasts. They have divided their territories, and the humans and demonic beasts will not interfere with each other. This has caused us to lose many mines and the right to mine.”
“This is nonsense! How can a little kid represent all of us to negotiate with the demonic beasts?”
“I heard that the demonic beasts have also set up many rules and regulations to restrict us from mining. It’s said that they want to protect the spirit mine. But who knows what they’re up to?”
“What? How can such savage demonic beasts be worthy of standing above us? It’s simply a loss of face and dignity! What is Ye Xuan doing?”
Most people couldn’t accept the news.
This was because spirit mines had ownership rights, which were all related to their core interests. Once the spirit mines were reduced, the mining would be restricted, which meant that the resources would be reduced.
Most of the income and resources of the large sects depended on these spirit mines, so how could they accept it?
Although there were many spirit mines in the demonic beasts’ area, there were still many that belonged to the human side. Although there would be some losses, it would not be a serious blow to the vitality.
boxn ov el. c o mThese people’s ambitions and desires were huge, and it would be difficult to take them back. They were eager to expand their land and continue to mine spirit mines, so how could they agree to reduce the number?
For a time, Jingdu was in an uproar. All kinds of rumors about Ye Xuan were rampant. There were even rumors that Ye Xuan had colluded with the demonic beasts.
They said that the demonic beasts had given Ye Xuan a lot of benefits, which led him to sign a treaty that was extremely unfavorable to humans.
At this moment, the Dao Seeking Sect, the Misty Illusory Manor, the Infinity Sect, the Sword Sect, and the other major sects gathered together. The sect masters sitting at the head of the table all had bad expressions.
“I believe everyone should know why we’ve gathered here today. It’s about Changping. I want to ask for everyone’s opinions.”
What Yi Chengrui was worried about had happened. These people who were thousands of miles away did not know the situation in Changping. They did not know their suffering and hardships. Naturally, they would not be satisfied with the contents of the treaty with the demonic beasts.
“What other opinions do I have? Although that Ye Xuan is capable, what right does he have to represent all of us? It’s not his place to order our spirit mines around, and even let those demonic beasts make the decisions. This is simply ridiculous.”
Many people agreed with him.
“That’s right. He’s just a small sect elder, but he’s so audacious and tries to control all of us. Just because he’s done a favor for some sects, he can be so arrogant. I think it’s better for him to be the sect master.”
“He’s simply a disgrace to our human race! Those demonic beasts might even think that we’re afraid of them.”
The Misty Illusory Manor had never been on good terms with Ye Xuan, so they would always find an opportunity to suppress him. This time was no exception. They tried their best to rope in other sects that were losing out.
Some people were filled with righteous indignation, but the sects that had received Ye Xuan’s favor in the past didn’t say anything until now.
“I heard that the eldest disciple of Sword Sect is also involved in this. Did he obtain any benefits from it? What do you think, Sword Sect’s sect master?”
The Sword Sect had become the target. The sect master laughed coldly, “We know what kind of character our disciples have. We don’t allow outsiders to judge us.”
This unyielding attitude was in line with the sect’s usual style, but it also made some people’s expressions change.
The Misty Illusory Manor looked at them and said in an unfriendly tone, “Who doesn’t know that Ye Xuan has a good relationship with you? Who knows someone might be behind this? Otherwise, how could he be so presumptuous?”
Everyone looked at each other and their expressions changed.
“Ye Xuan may not have had the guts to collude with the demon race unless he would never come to Jingdu again. But if there is someone behind the scenes instructing him, then the matter will be different.”
The Misty Illusory Manor was just short of saying that the Sword Sect was backing Ye Xuan up, which was why he was so fearless.
What answered them was an extremely cold sword Qi. It was like a world of ice and snow, and the coldness was oppressive. In an instant, it was as if even bones and blood could be frozen into ice, making people shiver uncontrollably.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t slander others if you have no evidence.”
The people from the Misty Illusory Manor were a little surprised. Being forced by the sword intent, they subconsciously took half a step back. They said angrily, “What? Are you guys feeling guilty that I was right?”
The tip of the sword came a few inches closer, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Seeing this, the people from the Infinity Sect came forward to be the peacemakers. “What are you doing? Everyone is just discussing and expressing their opinions. There’s no need to go so far.”
“You’re right. After all, we don’t know the details of the matter. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding.”
“Things will be clear when they return to Jingdu. There is no point in discussing this right now. It will only increase our disputes.”
