Just as Lu Chen and Gan Qian felt utterly hopeless and were trembling, they heard Shang Daocheng say, "Everyone, please calm down and listen to me."

Though the experts of the Five Great Forces were angry, they did not immediately take action against the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect over such a matter.

After all, the Lingxiao Sect had three Core Formation Masters present, and strictly speaking, this place genuinely belonged to the Lingxiao Sect's territory. Taking action against the Lingxiao Sect's people here would be tantamount to declaring war on behalf of their sect or family against the Lingxiao Sect.

No one could bear that responsibility.

Moreover, after Shang Daocheng returned, he confessed this matter to them, indicating that the high ranks of the Lingxiao Sect were reasonable and would surely give them a satisfactory explanation.

"Go ahead," said Ying Wujiu.

Shang Daocheng nodded and said, "My Master has personally gone to the Flame Moon Sect and the Great Dao Sect to discuss cooperation matters with the Sect Masters of your two sects. My Master asked me to tell you that if we, the Southern Domain Cultivation World, want to obtain the cultivation resources of Earth, we must cooperate with the Earth's Cultivation World; we cannot act recklessly."

"Nonsense! What qualifications does a small Plane World have to cooperate with our two-star sects?"

"Right, hasn't Earth just experienced Spiritual Energy Revival with only a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators? Let's not talk about the six cultivation forces in the southern part of our Southern Domain; even our Fengtai Feng Family alone has enough strength to crush them."

"Right, there's no possibility of cooperation with them; they are not qualified."

"Our people can't die for nothing. Once the other Foundation Establishment disciples arrive, let them bring enough magic treasures and weapons. Then we will sweep across the whole Earth's Cultivation World and completely control it. By then, the resources over there will be ours to mine and extract."

All of a sudden, everyone started speaking, unanimously.

Shang Daocheng had already anticipated their response, smiled faintly, and said, "I understand everyone's feelings, but have you thought about us, including the eight disciples from my Lingxiao Sect? Initially, we dispatched a total of twenty-eight Foundation Establishment disciples. Among these twenty-eight, there were several late-stage Foundation Establishment elite disciples, especially Xiang Yuncong and Bai Yu, who brought several top-grade treasures of Master Li Yang. Yet, none of them gained any advantage; don't you realize the problem here?"

Everyone felt a slight chill in their hearts.

They hadn't really counted it carefully before.

Were there really as many as twenty-eight Foundation Establishment disciples sent to Earth?

Moreover, Xiang Yuncong and Bai Yu did indeed take Master Li Yang's top-grade treasures with them.

But even so, one has perished and the other had their soul captured, leaving their body imprisoned.

Other large forces' Foundation Establishment disciples left on Earth were repeatedly hunted and chased by the opponent, utterly embarrassed, with no ability to directly contend with that Yang Fei.

"Humph, isn't it because of a few worthless trash from your Lingxiao Sect?" Li Yang snorted angrily.

The others nodded one after another.

Right, they almost forgot about that.

Chu Kuangge said, "Had your Lingxiao Sect's people not helped the Earth Cultivators, which made our people careless and unprepared, would our people be so passive? This sin must be blamed on your Lingxiao Sect's disciples."

"Yes, the Lingxiao Sect must bear responsibility for our deceased disciples," Ying Wujiu followed up.

The Fake Pill experts of the three great families also joined in solidarity with the Flame Moon Sect and the Great Dao Sect.

Shang Daocheng snorted and said, "If you insist on saying this, then let me ask you, where is this place?"

Their expressions changed slightly.

Strictly speaking, this territory belonged to the management range of the Lingxiao Sect.

So, Shang Daocheng's meaning was very clear: Since the transfer channel is within the Lingxiao Sect's territory, then strictly speaking, the newly discovered Plane World of Earth is owned by the Lingxiao Sect.

However, since this place is near the borders of the Lingxiao Sect's southern side with the Great Dao Sect and the Flame Moon Sect, upon learning the news, the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect brought members of the three great cultivation families here, forcing the Lingxiao Sect to allow them to proceed.

Shang Daocheng coldly said, "On our Lingxiao Sect's territory, our disciples went there first. They did not want your disciples to seize and possess Earth's cultivation resources, resulting in conflict with your people, which is reasonable and understandable, so why should there be any blame?"

"Humph, sophistry. You said it before, that your Lingxiao Sect's disciples brought disgrace to your sect, yielding to the Earth's Cultivators," Chu Kuangge retorted angrily.

"Indeed, at the end of the day, it's your Lingxiao Sect's disciples who lacked backbone, willing to submit to mere Earth Cultivators and ruthlessly attack our people, absolutely deserving death!" Ying Wujiu immediately added.

The others chimed in agreement.

Everybody insisted on the same stance; otherwise, they couldn't get a share of the rich spirit ore resources on Earth.

Shang Daocheng calmly said, "Everyone, if you must cling to this issue, then there's nothing more to discuss."

Ying Wujiu's eyes turned, and he said, "Didn't you say your Master has already gone to meet our Great Dao Sect and Flame Moon Sect's sect masters? Disputing here is pointless. We should wait for the final decision of the sect masters."

Chu Kuangge and Li Yang nodded as well.

The people from the three great cultivation families felt somewhat helpless.

In such circumstances, joining in on the leftovers is good enough; the main part would surely first be claimed by the three two-star sects.

Shang Daocheng nodded and said, "Alright then, let the three sect masters discuss the specifics before making a decision. However, before I came back, my Master instructed me to have our people on Earth send word to Yang Fei that our Lingxiao Sect is willing to cooperate."

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a Spirit Boat appeared beside Lu Chen and Gan Qian. Addressing the two, he said, "Lu Chen, Gan Qian, head to Earth and tell Yang Fei that our Lingxiao Sect is willing to cooperate with him."

Lu Chen and Gan Qian were overjoyed upon hearing this.

The two had thought they were in trouble, only for an unexpected turn of events, as the sect decided to cooperate with Yang Fei after all.

Though excited, Lu Chen did not act immediately but asked Shang Daocheng, "Master Uncle, how should we reply to Yang Fei after returning?"

Shang Daocheng glanced at the people from the Five Great Forces and said, "The specific cooperation details can be discussed later. You only need to tell him that our Southern Domain's major forces are willing to exchange top-grade elixirs needed for advancement for their top-grade spiritual ore. We can provide them with all the Cultivation Resources they require, but they must be purchased with top-grade or even superior Spirit Stones."

The people from the Five Great Forces also nodded slightly, remaining silent.

With this statement, Shang Daocheng included them as potential cooperation partners as well.

Lu Chen quickly said, "Understood, I've got it."

Saying so, he prepared to head to Earth with Gan Qian.

But then he heard Li Yang call out, "Hold on."

"Tell that Yang Fei to have my belongings immediately returned by the disciples of the Flame Moon Sect, or the cooperation will be discussed face-to-face," Li Yang said.

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched, knowing that Yang Fei would likely never relinquish any hard-won gains.

He dared not say this directly, though, so he nodded, saying, "I'll convey the message to him."

With that, he exchanged a glance with Gan Qian, and the two leapt aboard Shang Daocheng's Spirit Boat, heading towards the teleportation channel.
