我家哥哥宠妹如命

A few sects were hesitant. “Changping is too far away from us. Furthermore, the terrain is complicated and there are many demonic beasts. I’m afraid they won’t be easy to deal with.”

“Elder Li’s words make sense. Changping asked for extremely urgent help when the demonic beasts attacked them. Moreover, none of our disciples at the mine survived. This is enough to show how ferocious the demonic beasts are.”

“The capital is very far from Changping, and we rarely set foot there. We’re not familiar with the terrain, so we probably couldn’t gain any advantage.”

These people’s calculations were very cunning. They wanted more ore veins without paying any price, but there was no such good thing in the world. Even if there was, it would not be their turn.

“The journey is long and tiring, and there are numerous demonic beasts. If we fall out with them, I’m afraid we’ll have to pay a big price. Not to mention, there’s an unfathomable flood dragon there.”

After hearing those remarks, some people became hesitant. Humans were all creatures that wouldn’t do anything without benefits, not to mention that this wasn’t a small matter.

The people from the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect looked at each other. If these people were to withdraw, it would be a little difficult for them.

“You’re wrong. Those demonic beasts have occupied so many mines and even bullied us. Are we going to stand by and watch?”

“I can also promise that if we take back those spirit mines, we can re-formulate the treaty and split them equally with you.”

He almost said that everyone would be rewarded based on merit. Everyone present was smart, so how could they not understand the implied meaning?

Once a spirit mine was excavated, there would be the spirit stones. Cultivators couldn’t lack spirit stones. Once it was linked to their interests, these people instantly became extremely active.

“So what if there’s a flood dragon? We’re not to be trifled with. Several of our sect’s grand elders will also come out of the mountain.”

With the assurance of the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect, the remaining people were much more at ease. After all, even the grand elders would come out of the mountains. No matter how strong the flood dragon was, it would have to think twice.

The actions of these sects naturally couldn’t be hidden from Ye Xuan, not to mention that they were open and aboveboard. They didn’t intend to hide it, and even the grand elders would come out of the mountains. This news quickly spread throughout the entire capital.

Shen Changling’s first reaction upon receiving the news was, “What? Are they going to cause trouble in Changping? I think they’re panicking because they’re full and have nothing to do.”

It wasn’t easy for them to settle the matter in Changping.

Both humans and demonic beasts lived in peace and minded their business. They had only lost some of their interests and some spirit mines. Wasn’t this a good ending?

In the end, the people in Jingdu insisted on making trouble. Shen Changling seemed to have seen the upset expressions of the people in Changping.

“Elder Ye, we must stop them. Otherwise…”

Shen Changling was very righteous and didn’t want innocent humans or demonic beasts to die.

Before he could finish, Ye Xuan shook his head. “You can’t persuade these people. If you could, they wouldn’t have joined forces to attack me.”

Ye Xuan’s black eyes became extremely deep, and he looked more thoroughly into the long term. He said, “Since they want to mess around, let them be. Don’t blame me for not warning them in advance.”

Shen Changling calmed down. It was all because of those greedy people who couldn’t bear to part with the spirit mine and even wanted to cause trouble for the demonic beasts. They should be taught a lesson.

“But will those demonic beasts be alright? I heard that the grand elders of the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect will join the forces. There are also experts from the other sects. I’m afraid they’re not to be trifled with.”

“It seems like they’re quite influential. Many people have been persuaded. I heard that they’re gathering the disciples now and will be heading to Changping soon.”

If Qian Yuan had not transformed into a dragon, it would have found it difficult to deal with them. However, he had no problem crushing them now.

These people probably thought that Qian Yuan was just an ordinary flood dragon.

Ye Xuan smiled meaningfully. “You shouldn’t be worried about Qian Yuan. You should be worried about these people in Jingdu.”

“These people have always been in Jingdu. They have only communicated with each other through letters regarding the situation in Changping. They’ve never gone on a field trip, so they’re not familiar with the place. However, the monsters are different. Not only are there many of them, but most of the places are also their territories.”

It was said that a powerful outsider can hardly overwhelm a local bully. Did the people of Jingdu think that it would be foolproof just by asking the grand elders’ help?

Seeing this smile, Shen Changling knew that someone was going to be in big trouble. He couldn’t help but gloat.

Those people have been high and mighty for too long. They think they’re invincible. They think they’re safe just because they sent the grand elders. It’s time to let them suffer a big loss.

However, Ye Xuan wasn’t crazy enough to annihilate everyone.

He had already told Qian Yuan that it shall pay special attention to those who had a grudge against him, such as the Dao Seeking Sect of the Misty Illusory Manor and so on. As for the others, they wouldn’t suffer a big loss.

Half of them had joined because of benefits, so they could go easy on them. After all, the rest of the people in Jingdu would not sit by and do nothing if they all died at the hands of the demon beasts.

Ye Xuan didn’t want to stir up conflict between Qian Yuan and Jingdu. If the time came, both sides would suffer. If all the sects in Jingdu came out, even Qian Yuan would feel the pressure.
