The atmosphere in the most sacred council hall of Penglai Immortal Kingdom can only be described as embarrassing. In the end, Baili could only choose to ignore the anger from several other ten men and nodded to Zuoqiu Taoist and two other men. , minding their own business, they pulled Shen Bairu to their seats.
"Okay, now all ten of us are here. We have nothing else to do today. We just want to discuss our Penglai Immortal Kingdom's subsequent strategy against the Cangyun Empire. Katori and I both agree to continue the plan we made three years ago. Let’s start a war.”
The red-haired man sitting at the front seat said his decision in a deep voice while casting his gaze to Baili and Shen Bairu on the right side, as if he knew that these two people were the biggest trouble.
"We don't agree. Three years ago, you did make a plan to fully invade the Cangyun Empire to obtain resources. But today is different from the past. The peace talks we have carried out with them in the past three years have been very successful. We have solved our Penglai resources through trade. This is more in line with our interests."
Sure enough, before the red-haired man finished speaking, Shen Bairu expressed different opinions.
About thirty years ago, the Penglai Immortal Kingdom began to face the problems of population expansion and resource shortages, so it began a protracted foreign invasion. Although the Immortal Kingdom was powerful and had many monks, it went to fight overseas without complete supplies, and casualties continued. It's inevitable.
By the twenty-fifth year, nine of the original Penglai Ten Guys had died. The last remaining old man was the master of the red-haired man Sikong. He was seriously injured in a tragic battle, and finally the ten men were killed. The position of master was passed on to his most talented apprentice.
After Sikong returned to the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, he immediately reorganized a new group of ten. In addition to his junior sister Katori, he also absorbed many of the most powerful monks in the Immortal Kingdom, including the famous Red Lian Fairy Shen Bai. Ru, in the following two years the Immortal Kingdom began to rest and recuperate, but Sikong never forgot his master's instructions and wanted to establish a new territory for Penglai, and the rich Cangyun Empire naturally came into his sight.
Three years ago, when everything was ready and Sikong was about to ascend to the top and send troops to Cangyun, an envoy from the Yunlan Sect, the first sect of the Cangyun Empire, traveled across the ocean, visited the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, and expressed two opinions to Shi Lao. countries to initiate peace talks.
The conditions offered by the Yun Lan Sect and the royal family of the Cangyun Empire were very generous, including the establishment of a fixed shipping trade route between the two countries, exemption of taxes on goods from the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, etc. Such an attractive and reasonable plan was approved by the group headed by Shen Bairu. With the unanimous approval of the five ten men, Sikong's plan to launch a war was shelved, and the peace talks between the two countries that were recorded in history officially began.
"My sister said it lightly. Now that Zhuge Jin has been killed, it is still unknown whether the talks can be held next month. We don't have time to play these games with such an enemy who is full of lies. And as far as we know, this In the past few years, the Cangyun Empire has invested a large amount of troops in coastal cities, which is obviously to strengthen defense through peace talks, and even counterattack Penglai one day."
When the charming woman saw Shen Bairu speaking, she immediately argued with each other, and three other ten men also expressed their agreement. For a moment, the situation turned into a five-on-five situation, and no one could convince anyone.
A meeting that decided the fate of the two countries ended up being unhappy. Night fell slowly, and only Sikong was left in the huge Penglai Palace. Standing on the high terrace, as far as the eye could see, the Penglai Fairy Kingdom was everywhere.
Prosperity, but behind this prosperity are increasingly serious conflicts. The depletion of resources is fatal to Penglai, who founded the country by cultivating immortals. For Sikong, it seems that there is no choice.
"It's so late, why don't you rest? Senior brother."
A pair of delicate jade hands touched Sikong's chest, a body as soft as a water snake slowly hugged him from behind, charming whispers came from his ears, and a fragrant and charming breath lingered throughout the terrace.
Sikong turned around, holding the delicate body behind him in his arms domineeringly, holding the beauty's head with one hand, and the fire in his eyes burned blazingly.
"Junior sister, our plan will be realized soon. No one can stop us, not Zhuge Jin, not Li Yubai, not even Baili and Shen Bairu. When the time comes, the two of us will create a new Penglai together."
The strong masculine scent made Katori feel weak all over. Holding her in the arms of her senior brother, she heard words like a declaration, her beautiful eyes flashed with admiration, and then she found that her mouth was sealed.
After staying, the night wind blew through the wide terrace and blocked the spring scenery here.
"I said Baili, can you please help me at the next meeting so that I don't have to argue with Sikong and Katori all day long? It's true that Murong and Zhongsun are more useful than you."
After leaving Penglai Palace, Shen Bairu walked with Baili. They had known each other since they were children. However, Shen Bairu later became extremely talented and was spotted by the head of the Jade Girl Sect, the first female cultivator sect in Penglai.
Now he has reached the level of transcending the tribulation realm and is only a short distance away from the perfection realm. It can be said that he is standing at the highest level of the entire fairy world.
But something was wrong with my childhood friend. His talent was mediocre before he was thirty, and in the end even the lowest sect looked down on him. You must know that Penglai Immortal Kingdom does not have as many sects as Cangyun Empire.
He was definitely the best in the immortal world, but even so, Baili could only become a casual cultivator in the end.
However, people's fate may have been predetermined. After turning thirty, Baili's luck suddenly reversed. First, he fell while walking in the mountains and fell into the tomb of a senior in the Ascension Realm.
He received a powerful inheritance, and then picked up the most powerful magic weapon twice in the market. The most outrageous thing was that he once drew his sword to help and saved an old beggar. Unexpectedly, this beggar was the last protector of the ancient sect.
, directly gave Baili the right to enter the sect's treasure house and scripture building.
Under such unfavorable luck, Baili's cultivation level has skyrocketed at the speed of light. In just a dozen years, he has caught up with Shen Bairu, and now he has a faint tendency to be the first person in Penglai.
, even worse than Sikong Yu.
"Oh, it's normal for you and Katori to quarrel. You can't let me, a big man, get red-faced by arguing with a woman. Oh, don't pull my ears. I know I'm wrong. I'll help you next time."
Shen Bairu just walked on the street holding Baili's ears, making all the shop assistants on the street laugh. If these people knew that this man and woman were the people in charge of Penglai, they would probably be shocked.
Dropped jaw.
However, even as powerful as these two, at this moment, they would not have expected that the Millennium Fairy Kingdom has slipped into the whirlpool of conspiracy.
