我家哥哥宠妹如命

After all, according to Ye Xuan, these people’s spiritual power had been sealed so that they couldn’t use magic weapons for the time being. It wasn’t easy to bring them back intact, so they were relieved.

Apart from their pale faces and dark circles under their eyes, these people didn’t seem to be in good mental states. However, they were in good condition, much better than expected.

“Elder Ye, may I ask, when will the restrictions on their bodies be lifted?”

Even if Qian Yuan had heaven-defying abilities, he couldn’t seal everyone’s spiritual power for life, even if he wanted to.

The seal was for them to go to the mines like ordinary people during this time. They would probably never want to set foot in Changping again.

“At most half a month, or at least a few days.”

When the other sects heard this, they felt relieved. If the people they had spent so much effort to save were disabled, they might as well leave them in the mine.

Looking at everyone’s relieved expressions, Ye Xuan smiled amiably. “Since I’ve brought them back safely, what you have promised me…?”

Ye Xuan didn’t finish his words, and the major sects also understood the implied meaning of his words. Thinking of what they had promised Ye Xuan, they couldn’t help but feel pity for it.

However, everyone was watching. It wasn’t good to go back on their word. After all, they were reputable sects. Moreover, Ye Xuan could easily rescue people from the hands of the demonic beasts without paying any price. The reason behind this made them ponder.

“Don’t worry, Elder Ye. We’ll deliver those things to your place later.”

With a definite answer, Ye Xuan was very satisfied. “In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. Do you have any other objections about the matter of Changping?”

He looked around and saw that the expressions of the sect leaders had become extremely complicated, and some even looked unwilling.

Changping was a place with wealth. They could obtain many spirit stones if so many spiritual mines were mined. However, because of those demonic beasts and the flood dragon, it had become a hot potato.

A deathly silence filled the air. No one spoke, and it was Ye Xuan who broke the silence.

“Since no one wants to say anything, I’ll say it. Before we left Changping, that flood dragon said he would not let you guys off if this happened again.”

Ye Xuan grinned calmly, but everyone shivered inexplicably.

“These people are just lucky. You should be prepared for war if you want to tear up the agreement and explore Changping again.”

Ye Xuan spread his hands helplessly. “I’m afraid I can’t do anything when the time comes. You can think about it for yourself.”

This incident had taught them a profound lesson. Some were already hesitating. Ye Xuan took the opportunity and continued. “In my opinion, it’s beneficial to us in the long run.

Living in peace with the demonic beasts and not disturbing each other. This way, we won’t be attacked by the demonic beasts when we mine. Our efficiency will also be much higher. Although we’ve lost some spiritual mines, there are always losses. It won’t be a great loss to our vitality and affect our fundamental interests.

None of you here are short-sighted, so why should we take risks for such a small profit? We should open up a little. Losing some spiritual stones in exchange for peace is not a bad deal.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was like magic, drilling into their ears. They might not have thought much of it if he had said this before, but they had to reconsider after this incident.

They probably were immersed in their thoughts that they didn’t even know when Ye Xuan left.

“The current situation in Changping is good. There’s no need to interfere anymore. Our Tai Chi Sect will take our leave first.

The first to leave was the people from the Tai Chi Sect. Although these words were tactful, they revealed they did not want to continue.

The people of the Tai Chi sect knew their limitations. No matter how the Dao Seeking Sect and the Misty Illusory Manor people talked about it, no matter how great the temptation of the flood dragon was, it was not as important as their lives.

Even if they succeeded, they would only obtain the ownership of a few ore veins. However, if they failed, they would be doomed eternally.

“The same goes for our Qingfeng Sect. We’re a small sect and can’t take this. The current situation is pretty good. There’s no need to cause more trouble.”

“That’s right. These things aren’t something we can participate in. Those elders and disciples almost didn’t make it back. It’s better for us to stay out of this.”

After the Tai Chi Sect expressed their stance, many other sects chose to withdraw one after another. In the end, only the Dao Seeking Sect, Misty Illusory Manor, Infinity Sect, and the other forces were left.

The remaining people looked at each other. They had no choice but to consider the current situation carefully.

Even if they could deal with those demonic beasts and flood dragons, they would have to send out all the disciples and elders. However, they would have to pay a great price.

Even if they could succeed, they would probably suffer many casualties. If someone took the opportunity to attack at this time, they would not be able even to protect themselves.

The various forces in Jingdu appeared peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. They could not allow any oversight. If they took a single wrong step, their hundred years of foundation would be destroyed.

The people of the Dao Seeking Sect thought about it again and again. They looked at the grand elder who had yet to recover. They gritted their teeth and said, “We’ll withdraw as well.”

That was the first huge force that voluntarily withdrew.
