"You are well aware of the predicament Wu Kang Mountain currently faces," he said. "Naturally, joining our families would turn swords into gifts, and Wu Kang Mountain could also receive protection from Jieyun Mountain.
Of course, Jieyun Mountain won't be busy for nothing. As I see Lankang City expanding below the mountain, I've taken a tour in and around the city. Let's take Xun Gate as the dividing line, the eastern half of the city will be managed by Jieyun Mountain and the western half will still be controlled by Wu Kang Mountain."
Seeing the group from Wu Kang Mountain all shaken and enraged, he raised his hand to stop them, "Gentlemen, don't rush into anger. I know these terms might seem hard to accept, but I still suggest you calm down and think it over carefully.
Beating around the bush serves no purpose, so let me make it clear, there are grievances that Jieyun Mountain must address, and we have no intention of indulging in violence; it's best if we can settle this peacefully.
The conditions for a peaceful resolution are as follows: one, Wu Kang Mountain Sect Master will marry a disciple from Jieyun Mountain; two, using Xun Gate as the boundary, the eastern half of the city will be managed by Jieyun Mountain.
That's all; there are only these two conditions, which are non-negotiable. This is the price Wu Kang Mountain must pay, whether you agree or not, you have to agree."
Forcing the Wu Kang Mountain Sect Master to submit and also taking half of the benefits of Xun Gate.
The personnel from Wu Kang Mountain were really unable to tolerate any further. If it weren't for the consideration of the other party's strength, these words would be enough to provoke a physical conflict.
Elder Ke angrily retorted, "Don't push us too far; we, Wu Kang Mountain, can still afford to smash a few Fourth Grade immobilization charms!"
Yi Huachun added, "If it comes to a fight, you may not all leave unscathed."
The people from Jieyun Mountain all showed contempt.
Wu Handong said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to fight; today, I came to negotiate. So, I want to remind you that the benefits from the expanded half of Lankang City will be much greater than what Lankang City currently holds, and it will also ensure Wu Kang Mountain's continued existence. If Wu Kang Mountain ceases to exist, then you really will have nothing left. We are all adults here, not three-year-old children. I believe you will treasure this opportunity and make a wise choice." He then lifted his cup to slowly savor his tea.
Initially, Jieyun Mountain planned to completely destroy Wu Kang Mountain but later realized that destroying it, besides satisfying their anger, would bring no benefits.
So, they devised this plot aiming for both reparation and advantage.
While Wu Kang Mountain was infuriated, two or three elders were indeed provoked by the reminder and showed contemplation, making a comparison wasn't difficult.
Seeing this, Bai Shuchuan's lips curled into a mocking smirk as he subconsciously measured Bian Weiyin's figure, noticing the woman had grown even more charming in just a few days.
Many from Jieyun Mountain displayed a playful look.
Yin Huixing and her daughter also noticed that some of their elders seemed to be influenced by the reminder.
Bian Weiyin's heart was filled with unspeakable sorrow.
But if mother and daughter were to consciously think rationally, they knew that considering the sect's interests in such a way wasn't wrong, given that their strength was inferior to others.
Elder Ke, unfazed by the enemy, was instead shaken by his own people, suddenly shouting, "We might as well destroy everything all together rather than let Jieyun Mountain gain any advantage!"
Wu Handong slapped the armrest, stood up, and said coldly, "You have three days to consider; after three days, decide whether you want war or peace."
As he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a disciple from Wu Kang Mountain came running outside, reporting, "Sect Master, Shi Chun has arrived and wants to see you."
Hearing it was Shi Chun, Wu Handong and others paused their steps intentionally for Shi Chun, just because of her, Jieyun Mountain had faced great embarrassment.
Originally planning to leave, Yi Huachun turned his anger towards Shi Chun, shouting, "What's he doing here again? Tell him to get lost!"
The disciple hurriedly replied, "Elder Yi, Shi Chun says the Domain Master has sent something for the Sect Master, especially to be delivered."
Upon hearing 'Domain Master,' no one dared to take it lightly, and Yi Huachun had to hold his tongue.
Bian Weiyin was somewhat at a loss when confronted by Shi Chun, hesitated a moment but said, "Let him come over."
"Yes." The disciple hurried to obey the command.
At that time, Shi Chun was surrounded by Wu Kang Mountain disciples, as he had trespassed after coming out from the Xun Gate of Lankang City to avoid trouble by directly riding the Wind Scale to the mountain's peak.
The group of Wu Kang Mountain disciples had complicated expressions upon seeing Shi Chun; he had just been driven out that morning and had now returned.
After the notifying disciple ran back, he called out, "The Sect Master wants him to come here."
So, the group made way and watched as Shi Chun walked away.
Upon entering the conference hall and seeing Wu Handong and his group, Shi Chun knew his guess had been correct, Jieyun Mountain's group was indeed here for this.
Upon seeing him walk in, Bai Shuchuan could hardly suppress his frustration and couldn't help ridiculing, "I heard you ran away, it was quite a pity. But to think you would come here yourself, good, very good, excellent!"
As Shi Chun strode in, he heard this and thought, Is this a confrontation?
He was nothing like those from Wu Kang Mountain, paused in his step, changed direction, and walked straight up to Bai Shuchuan, stopping right in front of him, ignoring the group from Jieyun Mountain, and asked, "Yes, I came here myself, what do you want to do?"
Bai Shuchuan burst into laughter, how would it matter if you could defeat Mulan Qingqing? With a group of Sect experts nearby and elders present, he really didn't need to fear Shi Chun. Just as he was about to pinch Shi Chun's cheek, Wu Handong stretched out a hand to stop him, pressing down his hand, preventing any rash action.
Bai Shuchuan looked towards the elder, somewhat startled.
Slap! Taking advantage of his distraction, Shi Chun seized the moment and slapped him across the face, clean and sharp. The slap caught Bai Shuchuan off guard, knocking him directly into Wu Handong, with blood from his nose and mouth staining Wu Handong's chest.
The slap stunned the group from Wu Kang Mountain and also struck their hearts, how dare he?
Considering this man's actions at the Sky Rain Meteor Conference, it seemed somewhat understandable, but right now, he was alone facing a group of experts from Jieyun Mountain, still expecting Wu Kang Mountain to come to his rescue?
Shaking his head, Bai Shuchuan got up from the elder's embrace and started crying out as if he wanted to fight desperately, but Wu Handong forcibly used a technique to hold him down by the shoulders, and also raised his hand to stop the other fellow disciples from acting rashly.
Of course, Elder Wu Handong's expression was also very ugly, glaring at Shi Chun with a very unfriendly look.
Shi Chun sneered, quite disdainful, seeing him prevent Bai Shuchuan from acting rashly earlier, he knew his gift to the Domain Master had been heard by this old man.
If he were polite and timid, this time he would likely find it very difficult to get away; the more insolent he was, the less this old fellow would dare to act.
Indeed, he wouldn't dare let out a fart.
He turned and walked directly over to Bian Weiyin, looked her over, and asked, "Are you alright?"
At that moment, Bian Weiyin unexpectedly felt a bit of a sting in her nose.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but with all the Wu Kang Mountain Elders present, none of them could provide her the support this man could.
She struggled to control her emotions, maintaining an indifferent tone, "I'm fine. What about you?"
Shi Chun reached into his sleeve, took out a scroll of paper, unfolded it for everyone to see, and announced, "A gift from the Domain Master to you."
Bian Weiyin quickly stepped forward to look.
Everyone present fixated their gaze on that phrase, seeing in bold and stable characters the striking words: immovable as a mountain!
