Chapter 2327: If We Talk, I Must Be the Master

Sikong Jing ignored the Second Sect Master and said to the Neutral Party, "Teng Yue has obtained the complete Yu Vein inheritance. One day, he is bound to surpass Divine Martial. Don’t you want the Cangyu Sect to become stronger?"

The Neutral Elders looked at each other, their brows tightly furrowed.

Finally, after a few breaths, the strongest and most respected Elder Lu spoke softly to those around him, "Chai Jiu hasn’t denied the inheritance of the first Master of Yu Vein, so it seems to be true... Let’s intervene."

Earlier, they didn’t help the Yu Vein, also thinking that Ying Sanmeng’s words might not be credible.

But now, Chai Jiu and others are just furiously attacking the Demon Vein, without denying the Yu Vein inheritance.

Therefore, this can be confirmed as true, leading Elder Lu to decide to act.

Swish...

As he finished speaking, he suddenly took two neutral parties with him and landed in front of Ying Sanmeng, blocking a terrifying strike from Chai Jiu, and then said, "Great Gate Master, I think the Cangyu dispute should pause."

At the same time... swish swish swish!

Several more neutral powerhouses stood between Sikong Jing’s troops and the Second Sect Master and others, also preparing to mediate.

They are merely blocking for now, wanting both sides to calm down and clarify the situation before proceeding.

With their arrival, Chai Jiu and others’ expressions drastically changed.

As always, once a Neutral Elder intervenes, it’s a defeat for the Cang Lineage.

Taking a deep breath, Chai Jiu coldly replied, "Elder Lu, my conflict with the Yu Vein is irreconcilable, and the demons must be exterminated."

He had no intention of negotiating.

The Cang Lineage was about to become the sole ruler of the Cangyu Sect, and now they’re asked to stop—it’s impossible. Besides, he’s not at his limit yet, as long as he can capture Ying Sanmeng...

Thus, Chai Jiu demanded sternly, "Elder Lu, if you don’t want to get involved in the Cangyu dispute, then refrain from continuing to intervene. Just maintain your neutrality, and I won’t... hold it against you."

The last line carried a clear threat.

Meaning, if you do get involved, you’ll be our Cang Lineage’s enemy—think twice.

Elder Lu and others’ expressions subtly changed, unsure of whether to advance or retreat.

Now, if they mediate, they indeed oppose the Cang Lineage, which would offend them severely.

To withdraw, or not to withdraw?

These Neutral Elders, most of them became Guest Elders of the Cangyu Sect thanks to their ancestors, or were sheltered by the Cangyu Sect, developing over generations.

But they are not part of the core of the Cangyu Sect.

Meaning they still cultivate their own techniques, not the cultivation techniques passed down by the Cangyu Sect.

In other words, these Neutral Elders also form their own lineage, albeit much weaker compared to the Mo and Yu lineages.

They are still dependents...

While the Neutral Elders were hesitating, Sikong Jing suddenly sneered repeatedly, "Irreconcilable? Then so be it. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Ying Sect Master... are you afraid of death?"

With Sikong Jing’s question, Ying Sanmeng, of course, showed no fear.

Sikong Jing, hearing this, coldly declared again, "Then let’s embrace irreconcilability. Ying Sect Master, kill as many Cang Lineage hostages as you can, and we’ll perish together... The same goes for me."

"Next, our Mo and Yu Lineages will die alongside the entire Cang Lineage."

With that, Sikong Jing’s Soldier Killing Array exploded wildly, and Ying Sanmeng, of course, roared, "Chai Jiu, come on!"

His Blood Qi-infused True Qi Power was already pressing down on many Cang Lineage hostages.

With Sikong Jing’s voice and Ying Sanmeng’s frenzy, Elder Lu and He Keqing, among other Neutral Elders, had their expressions change again, twitching at the corners of their mouths—they knew... they couldn’t retreat now.

Perishing together would mean the destruction of the Cangyu Sect...

Most of these neutral figures have adversaries; without the Cangyu Sect’s protection, how would they stand against their enemies?

At this moment...

Chai Jiu, of course, realized this too, glaring at Sikong Jing angrily, "Do you see? This is the Demon Vein, wanting to destroy the Cangyu Sect. They’re so evil, how can you let them go?"

With this, Sikong Jing responded with a cold smile, "Who wants the Cangyu Sect destroyed?"

"Is it not you, Chai Jiu, who disregards even your family for personal interest—who is truly evil?"

At this point, Sikong Jing, inwardly calm, had ensured Ying Sanmeng captured hostages precisely for this moment—to show the neutrals that Chai Jiu disregards his family’s safety.

This is to show the whole Cangyu Island who is more ruthless.

"Our Mo and Yu Lineages just want to negotiate. We seek the future prosperity of the Cangyu Demon Sect. Neither I nor the Ying Sect Master have any intention of destroying the Cang Lineage, but since you insist on pushing us to death, then we’ll perish together."

"No one should have it easy..."

His voice echoed across the entire Cangyu Island, causing the residents’ faces to change dramatically.

This made the Neutral Elders constantly exchange looks, weighing the pros and cons wildly in their minds, finally understanding that the Cangyu Sect must not be destroyed, but all eyes again turned to Elder Lu for his decision.

He sighed deeply and finally said, "Great Gate Master, stop and talk, things haven’t reached the point of irreconcilability."

As he finished, Chai Jiu and the others’ eyes turned completely red, clenching their fists tightly.

For a moment, they didn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, more and more neutral figures, strong or weak, figured out the crucial benefits and began appearing, one after another, speaking out to mediate.

Each one kept persuading Chai Jiu.

Ying Sanmeng, meanwhile, still pressed on the hostages, softly narrating the events that occurred on the Divine Demon Island.

That is, he and Teng Yue obtained the Yu Vein inheritance and gained Demon Authority, while the Black-scaled Little Brother also received the first Demon Vein Master’s cultivation technique inheritance, leading the Demons to begin the Demon Extermination, returning to normal human form, etc...

He wanted everyone to understand the current state of the three lineages.

With Ying Sanmeng’s voice, the Neutral Elders were increasingly astonished, finding it more and more incredible.

Finally understanding the immense changes that had occurred in the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain, and their view of Sikong Jing gradually shifted, realizing he might gain the ultimate secret of the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain.

Ying Sanmeng also mentioned that the Demon Puppet Guardian had appeared, indicating this person was qualified to continue acquiring the complete inheritance of the first Demon Vein Master.

With Ying Sanmeng’s narrative, the teeth of Chai Jiu and others ground loudly, while Elder Lu and other neutrals increasingly felt it was necessary to mediate, to have the Cangyu two lineages plus this young Master of the Demon Vein sit down and negotiate.

The Neutral Elders continued to persuade Chai Jiu.

And Chai Jiu still held down Ying Sanmeng, with the Second Sect Master, among others, still blocking Sikong Jing’s Demon Soldiers.

"Fine, for the future of the Cangyu Sect, negotiations aren’t out of the question."

Finally, with the growing firm stance of the neutrals, Chai Jiu knew there was no avoiding talks.

"But, I want Ying Sanmeng and the Black-scaled Little Demon to promise to swear to everyone on Cangyu Island to obey the Cang Lineage and hand over the Yu and Demon Vein inheritances to us."

The security of both inheritances must be guaranteed; otherwise, the Cang Lineage’s future would still be doomed.
