Chapter 1193 War and Peace

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yishan immediately introduced: "This is Young Master Lu Chen. Today's battle is thanks to his help." Although the words were brief, the respect contained in them was self-evident.

The cultivator surnamed Zhao nodded and cast a puzzled look at Lu Chen, because in his impression, there was no such person as Lu Chen in Xuanwu Immortal City.

Then he smiled and nodded as a greeting, but Lu Chen ignored him and flew directly towards the ground.

This scene immediately made the monk surnamed Zhao look unhappy. He snorted coldly and left angrily with everyone.

Xiao Yishan didn't say much about this. He was not stupid. It was obviously abnormal that the people from the City Lord's Mansion were so late when such a big thing happened in the Xiao Mansion.

In this case, there was no need for him to give face to the people in the City Lord's Mansion anymore, and he secretly kept a note of this account.

Next, at Xiao Yishan's command, the atmosphere in Xiaoxiang Pavilion suddenly became tense.

The top leaders acted quickly and rushed to a hall in the center of the manor from all directions.

As a mysterious and powerful person, Lu Chen was naturally also invited.

Entering the hall, what comes into view is a huge hall, which is decorated ornately yet solemnly. Huge stone pillars support the towering dome, and the walls are covered with portraits and inscriptions of the achievements of the Xiao family's ancestors throughout the ages.

At this moment, hundreds of people gathered in the hall. Lu Chen knew some of them. They had hurried here from other places by tearing through space.

These monks were dressed differently, but all had the same solemn expressions as they discussed recent events concerning Xiaoxiang Pavilion and the merger of the two realms.

Lu Chen took a rough look and roughly determined that among the more than one hundred people, there were only about forty cultivators in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and the rest were at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Soon, Xiao Yishan came to the high platform in the center of the hall and scanned every senior executive present with a sharp gaze.

His voice was calm and firm. "Everyone, we are gathered here today to discuss how to deal with the threat of Shadow Pavilion. In view of the urgency of the situation, I will get straight to the point. I believe that now is the time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack."

As soon as the words fell, the hall was immediately filled with discussions. The views of the war faction and the peace faction were diametrically opposed and the debate continued.

One of the representatives of the pro-war faction was an old man named Xiao Duanming. He was the first to stand up and said loudly:

"Pavilion Master, what you said makes sense! The Shadow Pavilion has not only repeatedly provoked us, but this time they directly attacked the headquarters. If we don't deal them a heavy blow, they will only get worse.

We should unite with our friendly sects and wipe out the Shadow Pavilion in one fell swoop."

However, the peace advocates held a different view.

A middle-aged man immediately objected, “Although we have some strength, a full-scale war will surely cost us a heavy price.

Now that the two major realms have merged, the situation in the Middle Realm is turbulent again. According to reliable information, the demon clan has reached an agreement with the demon clan and the dragon clan, and is showing a tendency to get involved in the Upper Realm.

By then, I am afraid that not only will the situation in the Zhongtian Realm be turbulent, but even the Shangtian Realm will be plunged into war.

If we act rashly, we will inevitably be implicated, so we have no choice but to preserve our strength for emergencies, so please think twice before acting."

Faced with the two completely different opinions, Xiao Yishan fell into deep thought.

He knew that no matter which path he chose, it would have a profound impact on Xiaoxiang Pavilion. But considering that this might be a good opportunity to annihilate Shadow Pavilion, he had already made up his mind.

But he still turned his gaze to Lu Chen, who was sitting in the first row.

After all, the Shadow Pavilion relies on only Murong Xiao. If Lu Chen can kill Murong Xiao, then Xiaoxiang Pavilion will have the strength to destroy the Shadow Pavilion.

This is not to say that Xiaoxiang Pavilion is incapable of killing Murong Xiao, but that it cannot afford the consequences of killing him.

When Lu Chen saw Xiao Yishan looking at him, he immediately saw the other party's concerns, so he sent him a few words through his telepathic consciousness and made some simple arrangements.

Xiao Yishan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "In this case, this matter still needs to be considered carefully, so let's go back and wait for news from the headquarters."

As Xiao Yishan announced his decision, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. The reactions of the war faction and the peace faction were completely different, and the expressions on their faces also revealed their inner thoughts.

When the pro-war members heard that they had to wait for news, looks of disappointment and helplessness appeared on their faces.

Especially the old man named Xiao Duanming, he is Xiao Yishan’s relative and is very loyal to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. He didn’t expect that his contact would not be approved.

So he frowned and shook his head with a gloomy face, muttering in a low voice: "If such a good opportunity is missed, I am afraid there will be endless troubles."

Although his voice was low, given the cultivation level of the people present, how could it escape their eyes and ears?

Seeing this, some elders who were on good terms with Xiao Duanming revealed unconcealable dissatisfaction on their faces, clenched their fists, and their eyes flashed with unwillingness.

In contrast, the pro-peace group looked much more relaxed, especially the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier. He breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

He cast comforting glances around him, as if telling his companions what a wise choice this was.

As the meeting came to an end, everyone left one after another. Only fourteen trusted elders from the Golden Immortal Realm were named by Xiao Yishan to stay.

Among them was Xiao Duanming, the representative of the pro-war faction who was also sulking.

When everyone else left, the elders' expressions changed subtly.

A hint of doubt and nervousness gradually emerged on the smiling face.

Because they noticed that among those who were left behind, exactly eight of them came from the same place.

"Everyone, what's going on? Have our identities been exposed? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we were all kept here?" One of the middle-aged monks stroked his beard, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he transmitted his spiritual consciousness to the other seven people.

"That's impossible. How could our methods be exposed? Even if they were, with the strength of the eight of us, Xiao Yishan would never be able to stop us."

Upon hearing this, the other person spoke first, his tone full of disdain, as if everything was under his control.

When the other seven people heard this, they thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so they stopped talking and prepared to see what Xiao Yishan was going to do.

Seeing this, Xiao Duanming frowned slightly. He did not understand the real purpose of Xiao Yishan's action, but he also felt a hint of unusual atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone was a little reserved, Xiao Yishan waved his hand and smiled, "Why are you so reserved, elders? Let's sit down and talk first."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but still obeyed and sat down.

It was not known whether the other seven people did it on purpose or received Xiao Yishan's telepathic message, but after they sat down, they happened to sit opposite the eight people on the list.

If you include Lu Chen who is sitting in the first seat on the left, it is exactly eight to eight……………………
