BXBX NOVEL Chapter 355 - 355: Truce
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t dare to neglect the Jade Water Sword Pavilion’s message.
The last message was about the horrible incident in the Yan Nation.
They did not know what it was about this time.
The couple briefly explained the situation to Jiang Renyi.
Then, they quickly rushed to the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.
Just like last time, when Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at the meeting hall of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, they realized that there were already many people sitting there.
Most of them were acquaintances.
Pavilion Master Hou Dongbai, Supreme Elder Gu Yuefeng, and Elder Flowing Fire.
As well as Wen Shujun and Li Mingkong from the Heavenly Yue Sect.
In addition to these acquaintances, there were also two strangers.
After Hou Dongbai’s introduction, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan learned that the two strangers were another Supreme Elder of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, Qin Menglan. She was at the third level of the Golden Core Realm and was the only female cultivator among the five Supreme Elders of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.
There was also a scholarly-looking middle-aged man.
It was Yu Haoji of the Heavenly Yue Sect.
The Dao companion of one of his disciples was the disciple of an elder of the Inferno Sect who died at the hands of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
In the past, she wanted to persuade her husband to ask his Shifu to help take revenge on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
However, it did not work out.
After Jiang Chengxuan’s outstanding contribution in the battle spread, Yu Haoji even asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he hoped that there would not be any unnecessary misunderstandings between them.
The couple also expressed that they wouldn’t take it to heart.
At this moment, when the two sides met, Yu Haoji indeed displayed a rather friendly attitude.
He said, “I’ve long heard that Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fairy Shen are extraordinarily talented. I’ve always wanted to get to know the two of you, but 1 never had the chance. Today, 1 finally got to see your true faces.”
As he spoke, Yu Haoji stood up and cupped his fists at the couple with a smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately smiled and cupped their fists in return.
“Fellow Daoist Yu is too polite.”
Then, the couple greeted the other acquaintances present.
After exchanging pleasantries, Hou Dongbai, who was in charge of hosting this meeting, looked at everyone present and said seriously,
“Everyone, the main reason why I’ve gathered you here today is because of the war.”
Everyone, including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, was stunned upon hearing this.
They knew that the war had been going on for many years.
Be it the Zheng and Shu alliance or the three nation alliance, they had suffered varying degrees of losses.
Did Hou Dongbai’s sudden mention of this mean that something had happened that they did not know about?
As expected.
Hou Dongbai continued, “To be honest, not long ago, I received a message from the Primordial Yang Valley of the Zheng Nation and the Qian Fa Sect of the Shu Nation.
On behalf of their respective nations, they expressed that they wanted to sign a truce agreement with us.”
“What?”
Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, apart from the people from the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, Jiang Chengxuan, his wife, and the three people from the Heavenly Yue Sect were all surprised.
They did not expect the Zheng and Shu alliance to take the initiative to request for a truce.
This was really a rare thing.
One had to know that in the past, the Zheng and Shu had always bullied the other three nations whenever there was a chance.
They were domineering and tyrannical.
But now, they actually took the initiative to ask for a truce.
Wasn’t this equivalent to admitting defeat?
Could it be they did this because they realized that after losing four Golden Cores, they weren’t much superior in terms of overall strength than other three nations?
In theory, this explanation seemed to make sense, but on closer look, this did not seem like their style of doing things.
There must be something that they did not know.
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the three Golden Cores of the Heavenly Yue Sect all revealed suspicious expressions.
Li Mingkong of the Heavenly Yue Sect said, “Pavilion Master Hou, is what you said true?
Could this be another plot or scheme by Zheng and Shu?”
As soon as Li Mingkong finished asking, all the gazes turned to Hou Dongbai.
Hou Dongbai replied, “It’s unlikely to be a scheme because they have already clearly stated in the message that they will sign a blood oath contract to end this war.”
Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and the others finally believe it.
Since the other party was willing to sign a blood oath contract, the probability of them violating it was minimal.
However, at the same time, something dawned on Jiang Chengxuan and the three people from the Heavenly Yue Sect..
