Wang Fusheng, the head of the Shaoyang Immortal Court, said with a smile, "Don't you know, Master Lu? Although the Chaos Evil God is harmful to the Three Realms, he is still someone we need to unite with. Your Shaoyin Palace's high-profile campaign to eliminate the Evil God will inevitably cause astonishment among all the evil gods in the Haotian World."

Zhao Muqing said gently, "Master Lu, Shaoyin Palace's campaign against the evil spirits must cease. Also, your Shaoyin Palace has been hesitant in establishing its Immortal Court. Are you trying to become independent from us?"

The three heads of the sects moved in unison and put pressure on Lu Xiyao at the same time. Although Lu Xiyao appeared calm on the surface, she was furious inside.

Finally, this brief meeting ended with Lu Xiyao taking the initiative to stand up and leave. Looking at Lu Xiyao leaving, Yu Xuanzi said thoughtfully: "It seems that Shaoyin Palace has always been at odds with us."

Wang Fusheng said calmly, "It's not up to them."

Finally, Zhao Muching made the decision. He said, "At the meeting tomorrow, we must force her to sign an agreement: First, Shaoyin Palace must be transformed into a fairy palace within a month. Second, all future Shaoyin Palace plans must align with the pace of our three families. If she disagrees, leave her in Yumu Mountain!"

The other two nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiyao, returning to the Shaoyin Palace's headquarters at Yumu Immortal Palace, was furious. She addressed Qin Banjun and the other two, saying, "These three families have gone too far in bullying our Shaoyin Palace. Their words today showed no respect at all, as if our Shaoyin Palace were their vassal!"

Qin Banjun said, "Master, I see that the three families have brought a lot of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators with them. I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to us."

Lu Xiyao frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Impossible. If they dare to attack us, it will definitely lead to a fight among the Daluo. The Daluo fighting method has a very wide impact. They won't be so unwise."

Qin Banjun nodded at this, but at this moment, Lu Xiyao suddenly caught sight of a disciple behind Qin Banjun. Her pupils narrowed, and she immediately said to Qin Banjun, "Elder Qin, who is standing behind you?"

Fang Jian slowly raised his head, and Lu Xiyao's face suddenly darkened. She shouted, "You again?!"

Qin Banjun quickly stood up and bowed, "Master, this person is an outer disciple I have chosen to serve you. Could it be that Master knows him?"

When Lu Xiyao heard this, she immediately cast a puzzled look at Qin Banjun, and then looked at Fang Jian. As the headmaster of Shaoyin Palace, she absolutely did not believe that this was a coincidence.

This time, Lu Xiyao stood up, and with a flash of celestial light, she landed in front of Fang Jian. She then asked in a serious tone, "Who are you? What is your purpose in sneaking into my Shaoyin Palace?"

Fang Jian looked directly at Lu Xiyao and said, "Master, would you like some tea?"

"I'm asking who you are and what your purpose is!" Lu Xiyao shouted at Fang Jian again.

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "My Taoist name is Dafang. The purpose of my visit is to serve the headmaster and the elders."

"Catch this man and kill him immediately." Lu Xiyao pointed at Fang Jian and said to Su Zhengxin.

Su Zhengxin was stunned when he heard this, then he immediately bowed and accepted the order, then stepped forward to "detain" Fang Jian and led him out of the hall.

Not long after, Su Zhengxin reentered the hall and reported to Lu Xiyao, "Master, the outer disciple Dafang has been executed."

"Yeah." Lu Xiyao nodded and responded before sitting back in her seat. After she sat down, she realized that the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange. She killed that 'generous' person, but Qin Banjun and others did not raise any questions or even make any explanations.

But Lu Xiyao didn't think much about it. She knew that she had great authority in Shaoyin Palace and few people dared to oppose her, so she didn't take it seriously. The outer disciple named Dafang was really too weird and now he had been killed. She felt much more relieved.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose from the horizon, Lu Xiyao brought Qin Banjun, Su Zhengxin and Yuan Zhenhai to the main hall of Yumu Fairy Palace.

But when the four of them entered the main hall, they found that the heads of the other three families had already arrived. Lu Xiyao also discovered that each of the three heads brought six Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, and together with themselves, there were a total of twenty-one Taiyi Golden Immortals.

The gazes of twenty-one Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators turned towards her, and the power and pressure they felt at that moment made Lu Xiyao's original thoughts waver.

Lu Xiyao thought that she was the direct disciple of Jiying Zhenjun. If anything happened to her, it would definitely cause disputes among the four Daluo Jinxians, so she was sure that the other three families would not dare to take action.

However, the current situation and circumstances made Lu Xiyao more sober. She didn't know whether she had misjudged the situation, but since things had come to this point, she could only force herself to remain calm and not lose her composure.

So she coughed, and then walked with the three elders to the jade throne where she and others were sitting. She first greeted Zhao Muching, Yu Xuanzi, and Wang Fusheng, and the three of them also returned the greeting with a smile.

Qin Banjun and others greeted the elders of the other three families. After everyone had greeted each other, they took their seats.

Then the atmosphere in the hall became stagnant again. Although it looked like a four-party meeting, the other three families showed great unity and all looked at the four people from Shaoyin Palace.

Lu Xiyao didn't say anything, but her mood was extremely solemn. Shaoyin Palace was now completely isolated from the three families. She now deeply understood that this meeting might not be as easy and simple as she had imagined.
