Special War God

Chapter 159: Zhongsun Chunye's Immortal Plan

Soon, the Immortal Kings from the four countries arrived one after another, each with a solemn look on their face.

Wu Longhai said: "I believe Yulou has already informed you of the details. I wonder if you have any good strategies to deal with it?"

Khan Qili said angrily: "How dare these Western immortals openly plunder the interests of our five countries under their noses? In my opinion, it is better to kill them one by one and see what the Western immortals can do."

Wu Longhai smiled calmly, then looked at the other three fairy kingdom kings.

Huangfu Talang analyzed: "It is clear that the Western Immortals have taken the lead in this matter. If we act rashly, I am afraid that they will have a reason to use military force against our Donggu Territory."

Yi Guangshan snorted coldly: "We were indeed careless. Bai Wuxian was a great hero when he was alive, but before he died, he allowed the forces of the Western Immortal Dao to infiltrate the Bai Kingdom. We should have been alert at that time. Now that the situation has developed to this point, it is really tricky."

Zhongsun Chunye said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, this matter has gone beyond the scope of what our five countries can handle, and involves the interests of the entire Donggu Territory. The Western Immortal Path has obviously been planning for a long time and has anticipated our reactions. Therefore, it is best for us to discuss with the Immortal Kings of other countries in the Donggu Territory before making a decision, so as not to fall into their trap..."

Yi Guangshan said in a deep voice: "Even if there is no Bai Lingjie, there are still 27 realms in the Donggu Ruins. Apart from our five major cultivation countries, the other 22 realms may not want to see us occupy the territory of Bai Lingjie, and may even secretly support the so-called Maitreya cult. Are we going to sit back and watch other countries manipulate the situation?"

Wu Longhai countered, "Not necessarily. The fall of the White Spirit Realm is inevitable. According to the cultivation rules of the Eastern Ancient Land, our taking over its territory is in accordance with the will of heaven and there is no dispute about it. On the contrary, if the Maitreya Cult is allowed to take root in the former White Spirit Realm, the Western Brahma Cult will infiltrate into the heart of our Eastern Ancient Land. This is a major event related to the survival of the entire Eastern Ancient Land. I think other realm masters will be able to see the crisis and turn to support us."

Zhongsun Chunye said worriedly, "What Lord Wu said is true. However, among the many lords in this ancient ruins, most of them are immersed in the way of cultivation and neglect worldly affairs. How many of them can see the slightest details like Lord Wu? I am afraid that while we are hesitating, the Maitreya cult has already incited a large number of believers to join us. Don't forget that Bai Zhige and many sects that originally belonged to the Bailing world will tend to support the cult. As time goes by, its power will become stronger and the number of believers will increase dramatically. By then, it will be more and more difficult to completely eradicate the influence of the Maitreya cult. By then, if we want to save the situation, I am afraid we will be in a lot of trouble."

Wu Longhai asked, "So, Lord Zhongsun wants us to act according to the original plan regardless of everything and eliminate the original Bailing Realm court and various sects, including the Maitreya Cult?"

Zhongsun Chunye replied: "In short, in this matter, we should focus on the five realms and discuss good strategies together. It is not appropriate to push the responsibility to the twenty-seven realms to make decisions together. After all, as the masters of a realm, we are used to holding the power of decision-making in our own hands."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other realm masters all nodded silently in agreement. They had long been accustomed to the role of overlord and naturally liked to control major decisions in their own hands.

Qili Khan asked: "Can Lord Zhongsun explain the specific countermeasures in detail?"

Zhongsun Chunye said: "Our main purpose in attacking the White Spirit Realm is to seize the immortal vein resources in its capital, hoping to seize them in one fell swoop and divide them. However, now that such an incident has occurred, we can adjust our goals and first ensure that the benefits we have obtained are stabilized, and then consider the subsequent distribution of benefits."

After hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. Wu Longhai further confirmed, "According to what Realm Master Zhongsun said, we will first divide the occupied Bailing Realm territory according to the previous agreement. As for the thorny issue of the Bailing Capital, we will put it aside for now and consult with other Realm Masters before deciding on the next action plan."

Zhongsun Chunye affirmed, "That's exactly what I mean. We can communicate with Immortal Master Zhu Fa first and leave the original Bailing capital to the Maitreya cult, but they also need to acknowledge that the rest of the land belongs to our five major cultivation nations."

Immortal Master Yi Guangshan sighed, "Isn't this a bargain for them? They occupied the Yuanci Spiritual Vein in the former capital of the Bailing Dynasty. In this way, the Maitreya Sect has the potential to evolve into a supreme immortal sect."

Fairy Zhongsun Chunye responded, "Indeed, this move has given them a huge advantage. However, once this matter is settled, the Western Church will not be able to find a reason to send troops to intervene, and other countries will not be able to use this to criticize us. Even if we did not win the war, we have gained many blessed places for cultivation. Compared with the efforts, the gains are already rich.

As for the remaining Maitreya sect, you may as well just watch from the sidelines for now. You must know that although Bai Zhige was forced to join the Maitreya sect due to the situation, this place is actually his foundation, and now he is ranked below Zhu Fasheng. Under the pressure from us, he is still helpless. If the external pressure disappears, how can he really worship Zhu Fasheng?

Furthermore, the so-called 'Maitreya Holy Land' is surrounded by our people and territories. We only need to send capable disciples to guard the four directions. How can we allow the Maitreya Sect to flourish?"

After this profound speech, the four immortal kings, Wulonghai, Qili, Yi Guangshan and Huangfu Talan, were all convinced.

Wu Longhai was the first to speak: "The plan proposed by Immortal Master Zhongsun is quite feasible. What do you think?"

Qi Li and Yi Guangshan nodded in agreement.

Huangfu Talang also said: "Time waits for no one, we will go and talk to Zhu Fasheng immediately!"

Wu Longhai said with a smile: "We are not only going to look for Zhu Fasheng, we also need to invite Bai Zhige to join the talks. We must give him due dignity and grant him the right to participate in the negotiations and sign the treaty."

Zhongsun Chunye, Qili, Yi Guangshan and Huangfu Talan all nodded in agreement. The more "respect" they showed to Bai Zhige, the more aggrieved Bai Zhige would feel for being inferior to Zhu Fasheng. They expected that there would be a quarrel between the two.

After the immortal kings reached an agreement, they rose into the sky from the Wu Kingdom military camp and rode the auspicious clouds straight to the "Maitreya Holy Land".

The former Bailing Dynasty palace has become the headquarters of the Maitreya Sect, and Zhu Fasheng sits on the dragon throne that originally belonged to Bai Wuxian and Bai Zhige. He did not change any layout except the name of the palace, claiming that he retained the original layout out of gratitude for the kindness of the two former kings, Bai Wuxian and Bai Zhige.

However, this was just Zhu Fasheng's way of comforting himself. In fact, when he first saw Bai Wuxian's palace, he had long coveted that kind of emperor-like life. Now that all this has finally come true, how can he not be ecstatic?

He arranged Bai Zhige to the former "Maitreya Temple", and he occupied Bai Zhige's palace, deployed his confidants, and lived the royal life that Bai Zhige once lived. Although only two nights had passed, he had already read the tablets of several concubines favored by Bai Zhige many times, but he didn't know what Bai Zhige would think if he knew all this?

Suddenly, a powerful pressure from a cultivator of the Hedao realm appeared above the palace, interrupting Zhu Fasheng's immersed state. He hurriedly used his spiritual sense to detect and discovered that it was the kings of the five great fairy kingdoms who had come here together.

He could not help but feel a strong sense of urgency in his heart, wondering whether the leaders of the five major sects would ignore the pressure from the Western Church and attack him directly. At that time, the short-lived peace he had worked so hard to maintain would instantly vanish into thin air, and happiness would turn into sorrow.

Even though the Western Church could use his death as an excuse to attack the Eastern Ancient Realm and clear the way for him, for him, it was ultimately not as valuable as being safe and sound, practicing leisurely, and comprehending the great Dao.

In an instant, a loud shout came from the sky: "The masters of the five major sects have arrived. Zhu Fasheng and Bai Zhige, please come forward to receive their orders!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fasheng felt relieved. As long as he was not facing an immediate life-and-death crisis, he was confident that he could use his eloquence and his silver tongue to find a glimmer of hope.

At the same time, in the Maitreya Temple on the other side, Bai Zhige also heard the order from the sky. He had been extremely anxious for the past two days, expecting the leaders of the five major sects to make a decision. Now that they had obviously reached a consensus, Bai Zhige calmed down, straightened his clothes, and then flew away to meet the enemies who had destroyed his country and his family.

The leaders of the five major sects appeared from the sky above the former Bai Kingdom's imperial city, and Zhu Fasheng came from the Maitreya Temple. The two sides looked at each other and revealed a subtle smile of tacit understanding. Before, they were still speculating whether Zhu Fasheng and Bai Zhige would perform a self-sacrificing trick for the country at a critical moment, but now it seems that Bai Zhige did choose to compromise after weighing the pros and cons, and respected Zhu Fasheng, who came from the Western Church, as his master, and the master and servant identities were reversed from then on.

If the Bai Kingdom really fell into the hands of the five major sects, the leaders of those sects would never allow Bai Zhige, the former leader of the Bai Kingdom, to survive. In the current situation, since the five major sects have concerns, they will naturally save Bai Zhige's life. This is also his helpless choice to save his life.

However, Bai Zhige was once the ruler of this place. If they could not get rid of the suppression of the five major sects, Bai Zhige and Zhu Fasheng would have no choice but to fight side by side to resist the powerful external enemies; but if the external threat was eliminated, they believed that Bai Zhige would never give up the idea of ​​counterattack.

Then, Bai Zhige and Zhu Fasheng stood in front of the leaders of the five major sects and saluted. Zhu Fasheng then said calmly and forcefully: "I believe Wen Yulou has already reported this matter to you. I wonder if you have reached a conclusion?"

Zhongsun Chunye sneered, "The Western Sect is indeed very skilled. It seems that you had already conspired to seize the Bai Kingdom before Bai Wuxian passed away. I didn't expect that my five major sects would become a pawn in your Western Sect's plan."

Hearing Zhongsun Chunye's words, Bai Zhige's eyes flickered, and the difficult years reappeared in his mind. Since the moment he learned that Bai Wuxian was about to pass away, he had been trying his best to prolong the life of Baiguo under great pressure, until he finally surrendered to Zhu Fasheng, but all his efforts were in vain.
