Han Qian said with a puzzled look on his face: "Then how did the demons know? Dream Paradise is within our territory, and it is impossible for the demons to explore it at close range. Moreover, even Mr. Ling only discovered it recently."
The white-haired old man sighed and said: "The Star Demon God should have taken action. As the great prophet of the demon clan, his divination ability is unique in the world. He must have sensed the changes here."
Han Qian suddenly said: "That's no wonder. If you want to mobilize so many soldiers and horses to attack the city without telling us spies, the Demon God Emperor must have issued a strict order. In this case, I must report to the alliance as soon as possible and increase the number of reinforcements."
The white-haired old man nodded and said: "Dream Paradise is extremely important. It is only opened irregularly every hundred years, and the demons must not be allowed to succeed. Fortunately, there are those old guys from Demon God's Fall who threaten the Demon God Emperor. Otherwise, for the sake of Dream
In heaven, it is very likely that the Demon God Emperor will come in person."
Han Qian frowned, "The Star Demon God's prediction ability makes us too passive. Mr. Ling, do you have any suggestions?"
After thinking for a moment, the white-haired old man said: "Although Dream Paradise is full of opportunities, it is also full of dangers. The demons just want to enter and get a share of the profits. Our current casualties are too serious. If we continue to fight hard,
If so, I’m afraid Zhennanguan will be completely destroyed. Of course, if by that time, it will be impossible for the demon clan not to leave a few demon gods behind.”
Having said this, the white-haired old man's originally calm breath suddenly became stronger, and all sounds in the entire large conference room seemed to be restricted at this moment.
"Don't the demons just want to enter Dream Paradise? They always thought that we can compete with them because of the existence of Dream Paradise. In this case, let them go and have a look. Although Dream Paradise is good, how can we rely on it?
Is he here to become stronger?"
After hearing what the white-haired old man said, Han Qian and Ying Suifeng were shocked, and almost said in unison: "No."
The white-haired old man smiled slightly and said, "Listen to what I have to say."
"The demons also know that if we fight to die together, the worst we can do is forcefully close Dream Paradise. By then, they will get nothing. Moreover, Zhennan Pass is difficult to attack from the outside, but it is not difficult to attack from the inside. Even if they can in the short term
If we occupy this place, as long as the alliance mobilizes its army, they will be driven out. Therefore, if we propose to give the demons a few places to enter Dream Paradise, then there is a high possibility that they will agree."
Han Qian said anxiously: "But Mr. Ling, Dream Paradise is too important to us, how can we let the demons..."
The white-haired old man waved his hand and said: "No one knows the situation in Dream Paradise better than me. I have entered it twice. In Dream Paradise, dangers and opportunities are common. But one thing is that the treasures inside are extremely big.
Some of them tend to have light attributes, and the number produced every hundred years has never exceeded twenty. To put it simply, the symbolic significance of Dream Paradise to us is actually greater than its actual significance. No matter how strong the representatives sent by the demons are, I believe
They can only get 40% of the harvest from it at most. If it can reduce the casualties of at least hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and civilians, I think it is worth it. In addition, can we still let the demons enter the dream paradise in vain? They are the last
The main reason is that we want to go in and have a look. Similarly, the demons also have secrets that we want to know. In an exchange of equal value, it is not certain who will suffer."
The old man's eyes shone with wisdom, and his voice made everyone fall into deep thought. No one saw a trace of shame flashing in the old man's eyes.
The suggestion he made was of course feasible, but it also had selfish motives. If the demons really attacked Zhennan Pass at all costs, not only the pass would be destroyed in the end, but also the priest's temple.
Inside Zhennan Pass is the main hall of the Priest Temple! It can be said that 80% of the strength of the entire Priest Temple is here. Once Zhennan Pass is destroyed, the Priest Temple will also be in ruins. As the former master of the Priest Temple,
The deputy leader of the Temple Alliance, Mr. Ling would never want to see such a situation happen. Of course, he is not only for the Priest Temple, but also for the entire alliance.
Sighing slightly, Mr. Ling continued: "Let me make my own decision on this matter. As for the alliance, I will personally explain it to the leader. We, the Priest Temple, will not accept any of the benefits obtained from the demons. All of them will be collected by us.
Alliance Dominance.”
Han Qian is so old-fashioned. After Mr. Ling made this suggestion, he knew that the matter had been decided, and he could not refute it. In order to resist the demons, Zhennanguan and the Priest Temple had already paid too much. If Zhennanguan
If it is really destroyed, the alliance will be subject to huge turmoil.
After pondering for a moment, Han Qian nodded with some difficulty and said: "Okay, since Mr. Ling has decided, I will unconditionally support and cooperate. But I have to report this matter to the alliance, and I ask Mr. Ling for your forgiveness."
Elder Ling smiled slightly and said: "This is what it should be. Ling Xiao, send an envoy to contact the demons and ask them to negotiate."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Long Haochen has been watching with cold eyes. With his status, it is already a great honor to be able to sit in on a meeting of this size.
This was the first time he heard the name Dream Paradise. Judging by the opinions of everyone present, there seemed to be some great treasure in it. At the same time, he also noticed that Mr. Ling was speaking very forcefully here, even though he had a smile on his face.
, but this powerful veteran saint has absolute authority. Even Han Qian and Ying Suifeng, who represent the Holy Alliance, cannot refute the decision he makes. Moreover, since he calls those members of the Demon God's Fall Demon Hunting Group
The legendary strong man is an old guy, which means that he is indeed the legendary strong man of the same generation as Demon God's Fall.
The meeting continued, and what they were discussing was how to restore Zhennanguan as soon as possible. It was not clear whether the negotiations could succeed, and preparations had to be made on both sides.
An hour later, Ling Xiao announced the end of the meeting.
Mr. Ling was the first to stand up, but he looked at Long Haochen and Cai'er who were sitting in the back row. He smiled slightly and said: "Dream Paradise is a great opportunity that only opens once in a hundred years. Since these two
Young people are the future heirs of the Knights Temple and the Assassin Temple. Then, I will give you a gift, hoping that you can gain something from the dream paradise."
As he spoke, without seeing Mr. Ling do anything, two balls of white light flew in front of Long Haochen and Cai'er.
Long Haochen subconsciously raised his hand to take it, and saw two crystal-clear milky-white beads falling into his grasp. What surprised him even more was that the aura exuding from these two beads turned out to be of space attribute. Each one
They are only the size of the first section of the thumb, and there seems to be milk rippling inside the beads, which looks very strange.
"Thank you, senior." Long Haochen quickly stood up with Cai'er and saluted Mr. Ling respectfully.
Han Qian and Ying Suifeng both had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Mr. Ling waved his hand and turned around. The other senior officials of Zhennanguan and the reinforcements who were present looked at Long Haochen and Cai'er with a bit of envy in their eyes.
Others also left the large conference room one after another. Han Qian waved to Long Haochen, signaling him and Cai'er not to leave.
Long Haochen put his arms around Cai'er's waist and walked up to Han Qian. Han Qian, Ying Suifeng and the current master of the priest temple, Ling Xiao, stood together, all looking at him.
Long Haochen remembered what Han Qian had said before, so he bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Ling, for your kindness in treating me."
Hearing this, Grandpa Ling, a smile appeared on Ling Xiao's originally serious face. He nodded and said, "Thank you for nothing. If you want to thank me for curing your injury, don't I also want to thank you for saving me thousands of dollars?"
The lives of the soldiers? We all just performed our duties."
Han Qian on the side said angrily: "Old Ling, it seems that you can't change your bad mouth in this life. You have the softest heart and a bad mouth."
Ling Xiao snorted and said: "Anyway, I have broken through to the ninth level, and some people are still watching eagerly at the eighth level."
Before Han Qian could say anything, Ying Suifeng beside him had already stopped, "Hey, Lao Ling, if you don't stab someone's wound with a knife, the impact will be too big!"
Ling Xiao finally smiled, "I forgot that you, a thief-minded guy, haven't made a breakthrough yet."
Han Qian cooperated very well and said to Ying Suifeng: "He did it on purpose."
However, Ying Suifeng was not fooled, and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Nothing, he is at level nine, and I can't beat him. I can't bear it."
Ling Xiao smiled and scolded: "Okay, you two are so shameless. Do you want the children to see the joke? So what if I break through the ninth level? I have failed more than you."
The face that had been smiling just now immediately turned gloomy again when he said this.
Han Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's been so many years, but you still can't let go! Let me tell you something. Are you really planning to make the Ling family extinct?"
Ling Xiao smiled sadly and said: "What can I do? Besides her, can I hold anyone else in my heart? Don't tell me that you can forget her."
Han Qian suddenly said angrily: "Since you can't let go, why don't you go find her? Is it her or the position of the leader of the Priest Temple that you can't let go of?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "I have no shame to go to her! In this world, I hate Ye Weiyang first and myself secondly. I no longer want to ask for her forgiveness. My last wish in this life is
To die together with that bastard Ye Weiyang."
Long Haochen stood by and listened at a loss. He only vaguely felt that this seemed to involve the grudges of the older generation. As for the Ye Weiyang mentioned by Ling Xiao, he had never heard of it.
Han Qian and Ying Suifeng both frowned, but surprisingly did not try to persuade Ling Xiao.
Ling smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about business. Old Han, the old man gave the things to these two little guys, what do you say? This is a once-in-a-century opportunity."
