Mei Jing's words plunged the hall into silence again.

Shu Chengyi raised and lowered his hands, lowered and raised them again, clenching his hands tightly and gritting his teeth. Even a fishy and sweet taste filled his mouth.

In the end, his fist did not land on the table, but his pent-up anger made everyone present feel even more uncomfortable.

Who likes to be controlled by others and be inferior to others?

Mei Jing looked at Shu Chengyi's bloodshot eyes and took a deep breath.

"At this critical moment, we must not panic!"

Shu Chengyi felt extremely upset. He couldn't calm down whenever he thought of the countless men from their Pankong Realm who were still fighting desperately in the Fallen Angel Realm.

In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his cultivation.

From the moment he first stepped into the world of cultivating immortals, he prided himself on being worthy of the heavens, his parents, his master, and his elders, as well as his fellow disciples and friends. But now, he felt that those wasted years in the past were like a knife.

It did not fall at that time, but was hanging above his head, bound by a rope called time.

As time goes by, the rope becomes thinner and thinner, and one day it will break!

If only... he had tried harder! Even just a little bit...

"Uh...ah...then what do you say...what should we do?!"

Shu Chengyi sat down abruptly, lowered his head, and didn't look at the people present.

Wen Shiyin, who was standing by, heard the trembling in his voice, and... the sobs.

Although Shu Chengyi tried his best to suppress it, the cultivators present were all the strongest in this realm, so how could they not hear something wrong in his tone?

Think about how Shu Chengyi usually acts decisively and uprightly. In the eyes of outsiders, this resident elder of Qianhan Continent has always been a brave and fearless lord.

Who has ever seen him like this?

Mei Jing also felt uncomfortable and looked at the few old seniors from Pankong Realm who were sitting at the top.

"In my opinion, something must have happened in this Fallen God Realm that shook the Holy King Palace and the Immortal Alliance, forcing them to make such a change. Although the Immortal Alliance extended this olive branch to us, they haven't told us the details of the matter, which shows that their sincerity is not complete. Or... they have other plans, or they simply want to use us."

Jiang Yuan looked at everyone and thought carefully about some recent events in the world of immortal cultivation, hoping to get more useful information from them.

"Now, no matter which path we take, the first thing we must do is to obtain as much useful information as possible... Otherwise, all the decisions we make here may fail midway due to inaccurate information..."

"Right! Now, whether we agree with the Immortal Realm's proposal or not, we must first find out what exactly happened in the Fallen Angel Realm!"

"It's just that we want to know, but the Immortal Realm won't release any information..."

Ning Fulin sneered.

"Don't worry about this. The Immortal Alliances in the Immortal Realm may be able to issue strict orders to their cultivators not to leak any information, but don't forget that outside of the Immortal Alliances, there are still some cultivators who will not strictly abide by the rules they set!"

Mei Jing's eyes lit up.

"You mean...Dark Market?!"

As the ancestor of the Demon Sword Sect in Tianfeng Continent, Ning Fulin himself came out of the dark zone. Naturally, he knows more than many cultivators about things that cannot be seen in the light.

"Yes! If there's a dark market in Pankong Realm, there will naturally be one in the Immortal Realm as well! You have to know that the rules of the Immortal Alliance are nothing but empty words to the cultivators wandering in the gray and black areas. They only care about their own gains! We can certainly use this to connect with them! It just costs a little..."

Regarding this point, the monks present had no major objection.

After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If you want to talk to those people and get the most useful information, you have to pay a corresponding price, and even because they are at a disadvantage, you will be asked to pay a high price.

Some monks in the hall were still a little worried about this.

"If it were them, the lion would open its mouth wide..."

Ning Fulin's eyes were cold.

"Raising the price is inevitable! But we won't go that far! After all, we can take advantage of the conditions offered by the Immortal Alliance now. When we talk to them, if we 'inadvertently' reveal the conditions offered by the Immortal Alliance, they will definitely think that we have some options! Therefore, they won't push us too hard!"

If the Immortal Alliance monks had not said this, perhaps those people would have eaten them up, but not now!

After all, if it really doesn't work, they can obey the Immortal Alliance. Then where will they make money?

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Shiyin still couldn't help asking questions.

"But if the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Alliance are too strict, those cultivators will really disobey the orders of the Immortal Realm for the benefit of those in the Lower Spirit Realm. Besides... there is also a Holy King Palace in the middle..."

Jiang Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, stood up.

"No. The Immortal Realm is not like the Pankong Realm. In addition to the several major immortal realms and the thousands of worlds under their jurisdiction, there are also many free floating worlds. The immortal world will not care much about the cultivators living there, and the rewards we give are not just those visible on the surface. Over the years, we have fought wits and courage with the cultivators of the Holy King Palace and the Immortal Alliance. I believe you have already noticed that the several major immortal realms in the immortal world are almost all controlled by a certain force. In the immortal world, those sects and families almost monopolize many things, but don't forget Remember, not all cultivators can join sects or families. Many more are independent and need to make a living. As these numbers grow, it's inevitable that some aspiring cultivators will form their own factions. While they wouldn't be able to capitalize on the monopoly of resources in the Immortal Realm, what if they could collaborate with a Lower Spirit Realm or several Lower Spirit Realms? They're not fools. For a faction to flourish, it needs not only the support of high-level cultivators but also the support of lower-level cultivators. And the Lower Spirit Realms are simply one of their most scarce resources!

After all, with the alliance of several major immortal realms, those territories and resources have almost been monopolized and divided up. If those people want to obtain resources, they have to fight hard for them.

Who doesn’t have some juniors?

Which is better, going to those dangerous places to get it or cooperating peacefully?

Moreover, the resources of a lower spiritual realm may seem to be just a drop in the ocean in the entire fairyland, but if you look at it in detail, they cannot be underestimated.

Furthermore, due to the inaction of the Holy King Palace and some Immortal Alliance monks, it wasn't just the Pankong Realm that was affected.
