Fang Jian heard this and asked, "What does King Chongshou think we should do?"

The Great King Zhongshou said calmly, "What I mean is, can I, the Nine Caves Demon Clan, also participate in this geomancy survey?"

When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately asked everyone, "Do all the kings think so?"

The demon lords of each tribe, including Master Lingxu, nodded and said, "Indeed, this matter must involve the Nine Cave Demon Clan."

"That's right. It was very pleasant when we entered the council hall through you, the mountain king. The mountain king should return the favor." The Blood Spider Queen said with a smile.

While Fang Jian's earlier remarks had some intimidation, they were largely responsible for everyone's agreement to his joining the Council. Many factors, including Hong Yuanhua's arrival, convinced everyone they could no longer stop him. Another factor was reciprocity. Since we had so readily agreed to your joining the Council, it would be unkind of you to exclude us from the land vein project.

If Fang Jian refused, how could his words in the future be credible? How could he still have any deterrent effect?

The truth is actually very simple. Your leader asks you to do something for him, and says he will give you a raise and promotion if you do it well. But in the end, after you have done the work, you don't get the promised raise or promotion.

Then next time this leader says something, you can just treat it as bullshit. Do something? What do you want to do? I don’t know how to do it!

In this situation, can the leader use his power to force the issue? The answer is no. You can use the power in your hands to force the issue, but I also have my own countermeasures.

If everyone agrees to your joining the Council, but you disagree with their reasonable proposal, then everyone will treat your words as bullshit from now on. What does it matter if the Heavenly Court is powerful? What does it matter if the magic weapons are powerful? We are all true immortals, so why bother to provoke them and avoid them?

Fang Jian didn't have any worries or hesitations, but said very straightforwardly: "Yes, each of the Nine Caves can then send three cultivators within the Yang God Realm to Luoyan Ridge to receive the command flag. As long as they have this command flag, they can go directly to various places in Duanjie Mountain to participate in the divination of Longshou Mountain's earth veins."

Fang Jian's straightforward attitude once again startled the other demon lords, especially Master Wuxiang and King Chongshou, who even began to suspect whether there was some conspiracy involved.

But then Fang Jian stood up and said, "It would be best if all the demon lords could send someone here within three days. We only have one month to survey the Longshou Mountain's earth veins. Once the survey is completed, I and Master Weisheng will begin sorting out the earth veins at the Luoyan Ridge Protectorate. The demon lords can also join us then."

After saying this, Fang Jian put away the Thai Emperor's Qi Brick, stood up, clasped his fists towards Master Lingxu and the other demon lords, and said, "Please sit down, everyone. I have other things to do, so I'll excuse you for now."

Then he used his magic power to pick a talisman from the Nine Dragon Scepter and handed it to Hong Yuanhua beside him, saying, "You will take my place in the Council Chamber. If there is anything urgent, you can inject your magic power into this talisman and communicate with me at any time."

Hong Yuanhua was stunned when he heard this. This... put him on equal footing with Master Lingxu and the other demon lords? These were the people he used to look up to!

Seeing Hong Yuanhua's hesitation, Fang Jian said calmly, "Accept the order!"

Hong Yuanhua was shocked and immediately stepped forward, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yes, I will obey the order of the Mountain Lord!"

After saying that, he reached out to take the talisman, and then Fang Jian's figure turned into a ray of lightning and disappeared in the hall in an instant.

The demon lords watched Fang Jian leave until his aura disappeared within a hundred miles of Shenyun Mountain, and then they turned around and looked at Hong Yuanhua in unison.

At this moment, Hong Yuanhua was covered in hair and sweat on his hands and feet. He swallowed like a child who had made a mistake, and didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at everyone.

However, just as Hong Yuanhua was about to have a mental breakdown from the overwhelming might of the demon lords, the talisman in his hand suddenly flashed with light, and then Fang Jian's voice rang out, "Can you do it? If not, I'll come back and take charge myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the demon lords present were shocked and retracted their power. This was especially true of Master Lingxu, who immediately said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mountain Lord. Young friend Yuanhua has behaved appropriately and is neither humble nor overbearing. He is fully qualified for this task. Please take a seat."

Hong Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly grateful to Fang Jian in his heart. If Fang Jian had been a step slower, he would have been embarrassed.

At the same time, he felt a little puzzled. He, who was at the Yangshen realm, was trembling with fear and sweating profusely when facing these demon lords, but this mountain god was obviously only at the Lianxu realm. Why could he be so calm and handle it so easily?
