Liuhe County, the conference hall of the three major immortal cultivation families.
The air was so heavy that it seemed murderous.
The atmosphere was as tense as a string about to break.
The heads of the Bai and Liu families, as well as Lu Xingshi, sat around the ancient and heavy conference table.
There was an invisible pressure in the air, as if even breathing had become difficult.
Lu Zhengzhi, as an outstanding representative of the younger generation of the Lu family and the murderer who killed the Bai family's foundation-building master, attended the meeting with the clan leader Lu Xingshi, sitting on a chair outside the conference table.
The Bai family followers around him looked at Lu Zhengzhi with eyes that seemed to want to kill him.
After all, every foundation-building cultivator is cultivated by the family with great effort, and Lu Zhengzhi simply destroyed the foundation of the Bai family for ten years.
But Lu Zhengzhi looked indifferent.
His eyes were calm and deep, staring straight ahead.
The heart of a young girl from the Bai family.
Tsk, why are all the girls from the Bai family so hot?
Bai Jie is, and this one is too.
The woman from the Bai family opposite noticed Lu Zhengzhi's eyes, frowned and stared at him fiercely.
Lu Zhengzhi smiled apologetically and continued to stare at her.
The woman's pupils shrank, as if she had never seen a man as shameless as Lu Zhengzhi. She took a deep breath and finally turned her head away without even looking at him.
Bai Moqi, the head of the Bai family, was the first to break the silence.
He cleared his throat, his tone firm, "Patriarch Lu, Yunmeng Mountain is rich in resources and should be shared by the three major families. Our Bai family is willing to cooperate with the Lu family to jointly develop this precious land."
Lu Zhengzhi frowned slightly. The greed and ill intentions in the words of the Bai family patriarch were almost overflowing.
Did he really think that after the Black Eyes invasion incident that happened to his Lu family, no one suffered any loss?
There was a hint of toughness in the words of the head of the Bai family, as if this was the right they deserved, and the Lu family was just occupying their resources.
Lu Zhengzhi rolled his eyes but said nothing.
Now was not the time for him to speak. He suppressed his inner nausea and waited for Lu Xingshi's response.
Lu Xingshi sat at the head of the conference table. His eyes were as cold as a knife as he swept over the heads of the Bai and Liu families.
He smiled softly, but that laughter was filled with endless sarcasm and disdain. "Fairness? What you call fairness is nothing more than a fig leaf for greed."
"According to the tradition of the immortal world, whoever discovers it first owns it."
"What's more, the resources of Yunmeng Mountain were developed by the cultivators of my Lu family with blood and sweat. You, the Bai and Liu families, didn't contribute a bit, yet you want to take away most of my Lu family's achievements. It's really a foolish dream!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall suddenly changed.
The face of the head of the Bai family turned ashen in an instant, and the head of the Liu family also frowned, with greed flashing in his eyes.
However, Lu Xingshi did not give them a chance to refute. His spiritual pressure was like a mountain falling to the ground, instantly covering the entire conference hall.
Everyone present, whether they were cultivators from the Bai or Liu families, were all suffocated by this powerful spiritual pressure.
Lu Zhengzhi watched all this quietly from the side, with no expression.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the strong prey on the weak, and all traditions and fairness are established by fists.
This meeting is nothing more than a power game, and Lu Xingshi has power and is also determined to do whatever it takes for the benefit of the Lu family in this game.
It depends on whether the Bai and Liu families have the determination.
Lu Xingshi's strength shocked the Bai and Liu families, and the expressions on the faces of the two family heads instantly became complicated.
Bai Moqi's expression changed several times, and finally turned into a smile, "Hahaha! Look at what Brother Lu said, we were just joking with Brother Lu before."
"Tradition is tradition, rules are rules, how could we break the rules!"
"Right, Old Liu?" Bai Moqi said to the head of the Liu family next to him.
Liu Tiansheng, the head of the Liu family, was stunned.
Didn't you come to me and say that we should take advantage of the Lu family's weakness to force Lu Xingshi to eat, and maybe we can snatch food from the lion's mouth?
Now you say it's a joke?
Can you, a jerk, tell the truth?
But now, in the eyes of the Lu family, his Liu family and the Bai family are completely united, and it is not good to offend Bai Moqi, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh? Really? Then I was just joking with you guys."
"Yunmeng Mountain, my Lu family will not expand any further."
"As long as it's a place that the Lu family can't reach, either of you two families can go there."
Lu Xingshi's words startled Patriarch Bai Liu.
Liu Tiansheng frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by the head of the Bai family with a look.
"That's naturally the best!"
Lu Xingshi watched the two of them flirting with each other, but didn't point it out. He just smiled sarcastically and said, "My Lu family still has business to attend to, so I won't stay here to greet you two."
After saying that, Lu Xingshi stood up and left.
Lu Zhengzhi glanced at the girl from the Bai family reluctantly for a few more times, then stood up and followed.
The door of the conference room slammed shut, leaving only Bai Liu and the other person inside.
The Bai family's head's expression dropped completely, transforming into a fierce one. "This Lu family clearly occupies two-thirds of the resource-rich land in the middle reaches of Yunmeng Mountain. The remaining one-third is either extremely dangerous or lacks spiritual objects. How dare they ask to join our two families?"
"Even beggars are not this shabby!"
Liu Tiansheng's expression was cold. "Since you also know the ins and outs of this, then why did you stop me just now?"
“Things are not discussed on the negotiating table.”
"Then we can only talk about it in blood!"
Bai Moqi smiled coldly, "What I want is to talk in the midst of blood and fire!"
Liu Tiansheng was shocked.
"Do you really want to go to war with that white lion?"
"If that madman is willing to risk his life, he can kill both you and me!"
Bai Moqi's eyes were extremely ferocious in the darkness, "Really?"
"So, what if we add him?"
A thin and pale figure walked out of the darkness.
He was a gentle young man. The only thing that made him different from ordinary people was the pair of eyes in his eyes.
Those eyes were pure black.
