At the banquet, Qiu Ming solemnly introduced Qiu Yun's true identity to everyone.
The return of the bloodline of God decades ago aroused everyone's admiration. Qiu Manshuang was the bloodline of God back then, and most people present knew about it. It's a pity that his father Qiu Zhengde's lineage has died out, which makes people wonder.
So sad...
In addition to sighing with emotion, everyone's eyes turned more to the young man on the side and the monster beast next to him that was eating Haisai.
Everyone present is not a fool, and they can naturally feel that this combination of man and beast is very powerful. Especially the young man, who looks like a king when he sits there...
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Ren Cangqiong, the son of Qiu Yun. He is also the head of the Datian Pavilion organization that has been in the limelight in Donghuangzhou recently. He is also the head of the Alchemy Hall." Qiu Ming stood up and introduced, "
In the demon clan rebellion that just happened not long ago, the master of Cangqiong also showed great power, almost single-handedly defeated the demon clan army, killed the demon clan great sage, and countless dragons... His achievements can be said to be shocking in ancient times.
Shuo Jin."
The senior executives attending the dinner all looked shocked. They could not have imagined that Ren Cangqiong, so young, would have such a great background and such outstanding achievements.
Ren Cangqiong sat firmly on the spot, his heart calm, and his mood did not fluctuate due to the comments of others. At his level, a few words of praise and a few envious looks would obviously not cause any mood swings in him.
"Now, I believe everyone has an understanding of the situation outside. Donghuang threatens the major sects and hidden families in the entire Donghuang Continent to submit, and also sends out threatening words. Those who obey him will live, and those who go against him will perish." Qiu Ming
He said worriedly, "The Eastern Emperor is a powerful Shinto man, but he is also a tyrant. If we really surrender, I'm afraid we will be enslaved like pigs and dogs from now on, with no dignity at all. This is something we have learned from the past."...
After hearing Qiu Ming's words, anyone with a sense of crisis would frown. On that day, Donghuang gave an order that spread throughout Donghuang Continent. Shunchang was defeated and his attitude was extremely tough.
The place where the Qiu family is located is quite embarrassing. In the boundary mountain between Donghuang Continent and Beiming Continent, there is almost no third option to either submit to the Eastern Emperor or submit to the Northern Emperor. Neither of these two ancient gods is a good person.
.To submit to any party, I am afraid that you will inevitably be enslaved by others.
"The situation in front of us is so urgent that we can hardly think about it too much. No matter whether we surrender to the Eastern Emperor or the Northern Emperor, it is not a long-term solution. But..." Qiu Ming took a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and felt that the time was ripe, so he threw it out at the right time.
revealed his true thoughts. "As the saying goes, there is no perfect path for man. Ren Cangqiong Sect Master appeared in time and gave us a third option. It is said that there is a Spirit Infant Fruit Tree on the top of the Creation Zenith of the Great Sky Pavilion, which enlightens the number of spiritual soils.
One hundred thousand miles away, the spiritual energy is rich. Cultivating on the spiritual soil is countless times faster than cultivating in the secret realm. With this sacred tree, it is no longer a myth for Datian Pavilion to fight against Donghuang. And it just so happens that the Cangqiong Sect Master has a relationship with my Qiu family.
relative……"
"Is there really such a sacred tree?"
"It's unheard of to enlighten spiritual soil hundreds of thousands of miles away..."
"It's several times faster than the speed of cultivation in the secret realm. Is it so magical?"
Everyone present was talking and whispering to each other. They were amazed by the magic of the Lingying Fruit Tree.
Qiu Lei and Qiu Yuedao are also moved. Faced with the temptation of the spiritual soil enlightened by the sacred tree, it would be a lie to say that they are not tempted. However, their ambition is not here. The head of the Qiu family is their ultimate goal.
"As one family does not talk about two families, this family leader will take this opportunity to propose an alliance to Cangqiong Sect Master on behalf of the Qiu family, and together we will fight against the domineering Donghuang." Qiu Ming seemed sincere, and turned to Ren Cangqiong and said, "As a token of appreciation.
The alliance is sincere, and the Qiu family is willing to agree to any three conditions proposed by Cangqiong Sect Master as long as the Qiu family can meet them."
In Ren Cangqiong's position, worldly things cannot impress him at all. It would be better to promise three conditions, which would make him appear more sincere.
These are all things Qiu Ming has thought about carefully. If he surrenders to the Eastern Emperor, the entire Qiu family will probably become the private property of the Eastern Emperor. The family will also lose their freedom and be enslaved. What future will they have?
The only solution now is to agree to three conditions to form an alliance with Datian Pavilion. Although the attitude is also a bit low, it is better than being enslaved like pigs and dogs.
"Master Qiu, forming an alliance is a major matter and requires long-term planning." Ren Cangqiong did not comment on Qiu Ming's low profile.
Qiu Ming was about to say something when he heard the First Elder Qiu Lei say: "Master, the alliance is not a trivial matter. We should consult with our Council of Elders first before making a decision."
Qiu Ming thought to himself that if he waited for the consultations of the Elders Council to be completed, the day lilies would probably be cold. Besides, who didn't know that there was a grudge between Qiu Lei and Ren Cangqiong, and it would be strange if they didn't interfere with it.
Therefore, the head of the family first introduced Ren Cangqiong to everyone and threw out the big killer weapon of the Lingying Fruit Tree. In fact, he wanted to make everyone's hearts flutter and stop Youyou's mouth.
Who knew, Elder Qiulei would still jump out.
Cursing Qiu Lei countless times in his heart, Qiu Ming still smiled on the surface and said: "Elder Qiu Lei, the current situation no longer allows us to hesitate. If the entire family falls, who can bear this responsibility?"
"Head of the family, forming an alliance is no small matter." Qiu Lei grasped the qualifications of the great elder, "Only when the Council of Elders approves it, can the head of the family exercise the power to form an alliance."
Qiu Ming knew that the current situation waited for no one, and sooner or later he would have to break up with Qiu Lei.
"Elder Qiurei, if you think there is anything wrong with the alliance, or if there is anything wrong with me as the head of the family, you can impeach me through the Presbyterian Council." Qiu Ming became a little angry, "However, if you rely on controlling the Presbyterian Council to
Pursuing public interests for personal gain, destroying alliances, and causing the family to fall. You alone bear this responsibility."
Qiu Ming is not a good man or woman, and his counterattack is extremely sharp.
Qiu Lei is an old ginger after all, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the head of the family. We have good intentions, and we are just thinking about the future of the family. There is no one person who takes responsibility for the family's big plans. At this time, we should unite as one."
, it’s only right to share the responsibility.”
His words were specious, and he did not answer Qiu Ming directly, but they seemed reasonable and impeccable, with no faults to be found.
Ren Cangqiong watched the farce happening in front of him without saying a word, with almost no emotional fluctuations visible on the surface. In fact, he wanted to see how Qiu Ming responded to Elder Qiu Lei's attack. There is no game on this level.
The flash of swords and shadows are much scarier than the flashes of swords and shadows.
The senior officials and elders on the other seats were all in a state of self-consciousness. Many of them looked at their noses and their minds, with expressions of aloof from the matter. The conflict between these two people has lasted for thousands of years. It was irreconcilable in the first place. Today, only
It was just a big explosion.
If you get involved in a fight between gods and gods, you may get burned, but it is better to wait and see what happens.
Neutrality, or going with the flow, has always been the way these senior executives conduct themselves.
"Everyone, I, Qiu Ming, as the leader of my clan, have always been kind to others. However, today my clan has reached a critical point of life and death, and I can only act arbitrarily. It is imperative to form an alliance. If you elders are willing to be the leader of the Eastern Emperor,
You lackeys, use the Presbyterian Party to fight against dissidents and impeach me as the head of the family. If I step down, I will keep my eyes and ears clean, I will not be in my position, and I will not pursue my political affairs. I will be happy to have my ears and eyes clean."
Qiu Ming's attitude was resolute, maybe he was usually too cowardly as the head of the family, so at this moment he rebounded, but he was also very powerful, letting go of the suffocation in his chest.
In fact, Qiu Ming is telling the truth. Given the current situation of the Qiu family, there are wolves in front and tigers in back. Now there is a third way to survive, so why reject it?
However, those present did not dare to openly confront the great elder's majesty and could only respond silently.
Qiu Lei knew that he couldn't push Qiu Ming too hard, as it would probably cause a backlash and cause other elders to sympathize with the family head. This result obviously conflicted with his plan, so he showed a slight softness and said: "Family head, don't worry
, our elders will discuss the alliance as soon as possible and will give you a satisfactory answer after the capture the flag battle."
Everyone was a little surprised by Qiu Lei's change of attitude. According to the past experience of the two confrontations, Qiu Lei was always the one who refused to give up, and Qiu Ming had to be the first to show weakness.
This time, the situation was completely reversed.
"Hmph, I don't care what plans you have, Elder Qiurei. I just want to remind everyone here that the survival of the family depends on a thought. If you want to push the family into the pit of fire, I, the head of the family, have nothing to say." Qiu Ming.
He didn't appreciate Qiu Lei's show of weakness, knowing that this old guy must be full of bad intentions.
Ren Cangqiong had a clear view of all this. He also knew that Qiu Ming intended to use his power to attack Qiu Lei and improve the status and prestige of the leader of the clan. Therefore, after thinking about the alliance, Ren Cangqiong thought it was not a bad thing.
"Master, now that Qiu Manshuang has returned, I have a suggestion, should I mention it or not?" Qiu Lei said with a smile on his face.
"Elder Qiurei just said it doesn't matter."
Clearing his throat, Qiu Lei glanced at Qiu Manshuang and Ren Cangqiong, and then said: "The family motto of the Qiu family has always been tolerance and tolerance. Although Qiu Manshuang's bloodline has been stained, it is still the bloodline of the Qiu family.
Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if we couldn't recognize our ancestors and return to our clan? Therefore, I propose that Qiu Manshuang return to the White Flag lineage."
"Very good, Elder Qiurei, you and I have thought about this together." Qiu Ming felt that for the first time, he could pee in a pot with this old guy.
"Not only that, I propose that Ren Cangqiong should join the Baiqi lineage and become a guest of the Qiu family. He will be treated according to the standards of the Qiu family. If we really form an alliance in the future, it will be considered a close relationship." Qiu Lei looked at Ren with eager eyes.
Cang Qiong, "I wonder if Cang Qiong Sect Master would be willing to give me a favor?"
Qiu Ming was slightly stunned. It could be said that Qiu Lei's two suggestions coincided with his thoughts as the head of the family. However, this coincidence did not make him feel excited, but instead made him slightly wary.
"Elder Qiurei's sincerity was disrespectful to Cangqiong." Ren Cangqiong remained calm, knowing that this old guy had no good intentions, but he was not afraid.
Ren Cangqiong knew very well that Qiu Lei was by no means the kind of good man and woman who could greet his grandson with a smile and think about his enemies even when his grandson was beaten up. So with his proposal, he could only say that there must be a monster when things go wrong!
