Chapter 209 An Immense Blessing
Black Bat's voice was extremely soft, but everyone present was an expert in hearing things from all directions, so they all heard it clearly.
The elegant woman sitting in the main seat remained expressionless, while the other two Qinglin Guards, dressed in cloaks, exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of joy.
Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, the masked man in black addressed the people inside the pavilion directly, saying, "You two lords, did you hear that? Your helpers have arrived."
It turns out that those present here are the strongest combat forces of Qiantang City and the White Lotus Sect: two garrison commanders, a vice sect leader, and a rogue cultivator at the ninth level of the Extreme Realm who acts as a peacemaker.
As for the woman quietly brewing tea at the head of the table, she was the only grandmaster-level expert from Jingyuezhai who traveled outside, known as Master Guangchun.
Upon hearing this, the two garrison commanders sneered and said, "It seems your plans are going to fail. The Azure Scale Guards arrived so quickly, how could they not lift the siege of Qiantang?"
"That's right. If one person can come, ten thousand will follow. How dare you rebels be so presumptuous?"
The masked vice-leader sneered and said, "You two must still not understand the situation. I could kill the two of you by myself. If I were to make a move, do you think those four heroes could stop my many followers? You need to understand that choosing to negotiate is an opportunity I gave you, not one you fought for."
"you!"
A tall, imposing guard slammed his fist on the stone table, about to erupt in anger, but the moment Abbess Guangchun raised her head, he fell silent and whispered, "Senior Guangchun, does Jingyuezhai really intend to watch the White Lotus Sect demons breach the city?"
"Yes, senior. After the city fell, the people suffered heavy casualties, which also affected your incense offerings."
The two looked on hopefully, clearly pleading with a reclusive sect to intervene.
However, Master Guangchun could only shake her head helplessly.
"This humble nun is of lowly status and her voice carries little weight. How dare she break the rules? Hidden sects are not allowed to interfere in the mundane affairs of the court. If we violate this rule, we will be attacked by all sides. Can your Great Jin Dynasty handle this for us?"
"This……"
The two garrison commanders had nothing to say.
If the imperial court had this capability, it wouldn't tolerate you reclusive sects remaining aloof and arrogant; it would have already taken you down.
Master Guangchun brewed another cup of tea and looked at the only peacemaker.
"Fan Longhu, you only care about drinking tea, but you haven't offered any solutions. What's the reason for this?"
The rogue cultivator named Fan Longhu trembled and hurriedly said, "Senior, please forgive me! Actually, I had something to say earlier, but I dared not say it."
"explain."
"Yes. The White Lotus Sect has made ample preparations this time, and it is true that the two of you were caught off guard. In that case, in order to spare the people from the ravages of war, the imperial court will make a concession and allocate half of the quota to the White Lotus Sect."
"How dare you, Fan Longhu! You dare to damage the dignity of the imperial court!"
The hot-tempered, tall guard immediately glared at him. With Guang Chun backing him up, he wasn't afraid and said directly, "Brother Tie Li, are you going to risk the lives of the entire city to maintain your authority? Besides, what's the harm in giving up a few spots in the Lingyin Temple secret realm?"
Upon hearing this, the masked vice leader laughed and said, "Brother Fan is right. You've had enough time. Now it's your turn to make a choice. Personally, I don't want to use the people to blackmail you, but what can we do? We're the rebels. I can do it, but you can't, right?"
"..."
The two guards gripped their teacups tightly, their foreheads furrowed into tight knots.
They were indeed careless this time. The White Lotus Sect's massive mobilization actually managed to deceive the Qinglin scouts. They lost a move and there was really nothing they could do.
Although reinforcements will come, the lives of the people cannot wait. If we abandon the city, it would be better to hand over Lingyin Temple.
Having exhausted all other options, the two could only look to Guangchun.
"Senior, you should make the decision. You are only maintaining peace and are not interfering. If something goes wrong afterward, it won't be your fault."
Guangchun was waiting for this very sentence.
She pondered for a moment and said, "The Lingyin Temple Secret Realm is about to open. It's really not worth fighting to the death for these 108 spots. Since the imperial court has lost, I propose that the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect each take 50 spots, how about that?"
"Good! Fair! As expected of Senior Guangchun, I will now return and await your good news."
The masked vice-leader left laughing, clearly having achieved his target number.
The two guards looked aggrieved.
"What about the remaining eight spots?"
Guang Chun smiled slightly and first looked at Fan Longhu and said, "Fan Longhu has also made contributions in mediating between the two families, so the Fan family should take two spots. As for the remaining six, four should be given to the four heroes who stepped forward to help, and the other two should be given to this humble nun. Is that alright?"
The expressions of the two guards changed.
You hypocritical nun, after all that talk, you managed to snag two spots yourself!
There are many hidden sects with secret realms, yet they still covet the imperial court's resources. Isn't this just taking advantage of the situation to plunder?
The two were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Hidden sects are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, but if they deliberately anger someone, then being killed is being killed, and the imperial court will not say a word.
Left with no other choice, the two had to agree to this method of distribution.
Fan Longhu, who was standing to the side, was so happy that he almost dropped his teeth when he heard that he had also secured two more spots.
"Senior, your stroke of genius has prevented another human tragedy. Your merits are immeasurable!"
Guangchun responded with a smile, seemingly quite pleased.
The two garrison commanders could only awkwardly echo this sentiment.
Iron Oriole then whispered, "White Stork, let's go meet the reinforcements. We can't let those demons make a move."
"As it should be."
The two bowed and had just left the waterside pavilion when Abbess Guangchun's voice rang out again: "Gentlemen, please bring the girl who wields the spear with you."
"Senior, this..."
"It's alright, just to be on the safe side, to see if it's the little fellow I've seen before."
"Understood, please wait a moment, senior."
The two left respectfully, their doubts only growing stronger.
Why do you know the Qinglin Guard?
Of course, they wouldn't dare say such a thing.
The Qiantang region is the economic lifeline of the Great Jin Dynasty and is located near the East China Sea. Therefore, it is guarded by two experts, both of whom are top-level masters at the ninth rank of the ultimate realm.
One person governs the land, and another person governs the coast.
The two used all their lightness skills to catch up with the masked vice leader quickly. After explaining their purpose, the vice leader was not in a hurry. Instead, he laughed and said, "You two are really considerate of your subordinates. If you hadn't told me, I would have already been preparing to kill that arrogant little brat. Hahahaha!"
The two garrison commanders were trembling with anger, but they were helpless. If they couldn't help but take action, Qiantang City would be completely destroyed.
They could only break out of the White Lotus Sect's encirclement at the same time, keeping watch on each other and waiting on the main road.
Not long after, Ye Kang and Gu Lingwei arrived on horseback.
The moment they appeared, three incredibly powerful auras surged forth. In an instant, Ye Kang and Gu Lingwei turned pale and nearly fell off their horses in fright.
I rely on!
what the hell!
There is an ambush!
These three individuals possessed an aura even more terrifying than that of the Flood Dragon Lord, at least at the ninth rank of the Extreme Realm! And three of them came at once!
Ye Kang was dumbfounded.
He suddenly began to wonder if he had broken some divine law, as this blessing was far too great.
