The master of Taiyin Sword was born in Shushan.
This news quickly spread all over the world. The Six Paths Sect, which received the news, also quickly reconvened their meeting.
Except for the Mortal Sect and the Ghost Sect, all other sects reached a consensus to withdraw the troops, especially the Shura Sect, which said it most directly:
"If we don't withdraw our troops now, will the Taiyin Sword Master come to Iron City Mountain to kill us?"
"Since Taiyin Sword Master slashed Emei Mountain with his sword, it means that his relationship with Shushan is not that harmonious." Wen Yang said, "Whether he is really willing to be the pioneer of Shushan is still unknown."
Obviously, although the Yin Guidao did not make a clear statement, it was definitely not inclined to withdraw its troops.
"If Taiyin Sword Master doesn't come to kill us, you Yin Gui Dao will continue to plunder and profit from Guanzhong." Shi Yao, the leader of Donghuang Dao, said coldly, "If he comes to kill us, Shura Dao and Donghuang Dao will bear the brunt. Your sect has a good plan."
Wen Yang was not angry, but said in a deep voice:
"The reward for the joint battle has already been paid to everyone in advance, and it is not just me who will benefit."
"We have agreed to join forces to fight, and we have fulfilled our obligations." Lingyun Zhenren of Tianmo Dao said slowly, "It's not that we are retreating now, but it's really impossible to do it."
Wen Yang listened silently, then turned to ask Wei Dongliu:
"What does the Way of Life mean?"
"The Master of Taiyin Sword cannot be defeated by force." Wei Dongliu said indifferently.
So Wen Yang stopped talking.
The meeting came to a temporary end. Wen Yang went back to see Venerable White Bone and informed him of the attitudes of all parties in detail. Finally, he said:
"If the Taiyin Sword Master can really display the strength he showed that day, then what we need to discuss is not how to stop the war, but how to preserve the orthodoxy."
"But now, apart from publicity, Shushan has not taken any further action, which means that either the Taiyin Sword Master and his men cannot be ordered around at will, or the Taiyin Sword Master cannot fully exert the power of the Taiyin Suming Sword at any time and in any place."
The White Bone Master smiled bitterly. What Wen Yang said certainly made sense, but the problem is that in this world, people often don't listen to you just because you are right.
Apart from the Yin Gui Dao, which made considerable profits, and the Mortal Dao, which gained fame, the enthusiasm for participation in the other three Daos was not high.
Originally, apart from many other factors, the main thing was to see if there was any bargain to be picked up. As a result, after fighting for so long, it was found that it was nothing special. In addition, the news of the sudden emergence of the Taiyin Sword Master made it natural to withdraw.
Wen Yang said that the Taiyin Sword Master was not a concern, but even if the Taiyin Sword Master had not appeared, the allies would still find other excuses to stop the war, but it might not be as fast and unified as it is now.
"Let's stop the fighting!" said the White Bone Master.
So when the second meeting began, Wen Yang happily announced that the Yin Gui Dao supported the ceasefire, and all parties present were happy.
Although the decision to cease fire has been made, Kunlun is still at the foot of Tiecheng Mountain. Of course, he cannot withdraw his troops directly, otherwise what if the enemy takes advantage of the situation to attack him?
Wei Dongliu made the decision and said:
"It is better to adopt the method of reducing troops and increasing combat, and the various factions will withdraw in batches and in an orderly manner."
The so-called reducing troops and increasing battles means reducing the number of stationed personnel on the one hand and increasing the number of battles on the other.
The latter will give the opponent a feeling that "the enemy's offensive is becoming more and more intense", and naturally they will not think in the direction of the former.
"Reduce the troops and increase the battle. What if you are halfway there and Kunlun suddenly launches a large-scale attack on Tiecheng Mountain?" asked the Venerable Shura Daoyou.
"Kunlun won't." Wei Dongliu said firmly.
"Why?" The foreign monk was startled when he heard this.
"If I'm right, Kunlun will definitely retreat." Wei Dongliu was confident, "Shushan has a Taiyin Sword Master, how can Kunlun not be worried?"
Everyone laughed.
Being both a strategic ally and a competitor, who else could be more proficient than you six paths? Just the matter of "how to secretly weaken an ally while making it impossible for the other party to attack", everyone here has 10,000 ways to achieve the goal, but Kunlun is not good at this.
"Since the Taiyin Sword Master has emerged from Shushan, Kunlun must be in a state of panic." Wen Yang also echoed and said with a smile, "If it is not handled properly, the leader of the Orthodox Church will fall to someone else."
"Eh?" A Shura Dao master suddenly had an idea, "Since Kunlun is also afraid of Shushan, can we join forces with Kunlun to fight Shushan together?"
The laughter stopped immediately, and everyone looked at the foreign monk elder as if he were an idiot.
"Ahem." The other party also realized that he was fanciful, and quickly said to make amends, "I meant secretly, secretly."
It's impossible to do it secretly! Not to mention the hidden dangers to reputation, not to mention how noble Kunlun is, just from the perspective of strength, the strength of the Six Paths Alliance is not enough to make Kunlun consider an alliance.
If the six paths were really united into one and became a solid block, then Kunlun might really consider it.
However, everyone knows that the Six Paths are only united in interests, and do not represent a concerted effort in diplomacy. The so-called "cooperation with the Six Paths Alliance" actually means negotiating with each of them individually... It is not worthwhile in terms of cost performance, let alone for Kunlun.
"In short," Wei Dongliu said calmly, as if he hadn't heard what the other party said, "Kunlun won't stay in Tiecheng Mountain for too long. You can all arrange to return to the sect."
"However, after you return, please keep a low profile for the time being and try to avoid making a big splash."
He finished speaking slowly, and some of the people present had gloomy faces, some remained expressionless, and some did not take it seriously.
Those who knew naturally understood that Wei Dongliu was reminding everyone that although Kunlun had withdrawn its troops head-on, there would definitely be several more waves of successive clearing operations that would directly target Huanglong, and the purpose was naturally to vent their anger.
Although everyone has extremely rich experience in avoiding attacks, if a large number of people are accidentally killed, it will definitely be a serious blow to the vitality.
Of course, not everyone at the meeting could guess what Wei Dongliu meant.
Some people who don't know think that you, the great leader Wei, are just the leader of this war. Now that the ceasefire has been confirmed, your title of leader has expired and is no longer valid. Do you still want to give us orders?
I won’t listen!
Wei Dongliu had a blank expression on his face. He noted down the expressions of resentment, contempt, and disdain on the faces of these young men one by one, and finally said:
"Then everyone, please go back and withdraw your troops."
The meeting was over, and there were still a lot of things to be arranged afterwards, so everyone went back.
"Master Wei has been looking radiant lately." Seeing that Witch Jiang was not there, Wen Yang came over and started a conversation.
"Really?" Wei Dongliu felt like crying but had no tears.
Radiant? Maybe it's the last gasp of life.
If she keeps doing this every night, she might really kill me.
No, we have to think of a way.
Wei Dongliu was thinking this when he suddenly felt something vibrating around his waist.
But it was the magic communication tool given to him by Taoist Luo from Hell.
