Chapter 93 Chapter 93 The Demon Lord's Identity Sitting in Penglai...
Isn't it inappropriate for a demon king to sit next to the leader of Penglai Sect? If in the past, it was an accident, it was unknown, it was arranged, it was calculated, what is it now?
Voluntary? Knowingly? Happily? Or, a compromise after negotiation?
After all, as the Demon Lord, if he sits in any other position, it would seem that he is inferior to the sect master. The Demon Lord may not mind, but the demons may not mind.
Now the relationship between the Demon Lord and the Sect Master has been repaired, which can be said to be good. In this case, if the Sect Master does not treat the Demon Lord well and instead targets him, then there is no difference between repairing the relationship and not repairing it. It is not only sorry for the contract, but also sorry for the Demon Lord, and even more sorry for the relationship between the two of them many years ago.
Thinking this way, it seems quite normal for the Demon Lord to sit next to the Sect Master. Maybe that's what they were thinking?
Blackbeard frowned, and although he was still confused and a little bit incomprehensible, he felt that the current situation was not completely unreasonable and could be explained away.
There's no point in pursuing this.
The sect leader probably did not convene a meeting to announce the Demon Lord's future position in the Penglai Conference.
That means there are other more important things.
I don't know what it is.
Blackbeard tried hard to concentrate and listen to what Li Hanshuang said.
Li Hanshuang sat at the top and said to all the people attending the meeting: "The answers to the last two questions in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony are well known. I know that some people may still be confused or doubtful, thinking that these two answers suddenly appeared and are not worthy of belief, or that we have misunderstood them. But now, there is no need to doubt it. The issue of world destruction is indeed imminent.
Because today we got new evidence, a sealed person who escaped from the sealed area, a bug who is good at hiding and foresight, he said with his own mouth that he foresaw that the world would be destroyed, and he is willing to join us, face this problem with us, and work hard to solve it. "
People were all surprised and started talking about it.
“I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”
"We still don't know what will happen, so how can we solve it? The best we can do is prevent it, but if we want to prevent it now, which direction should we go in?"
"Since you called us here for a meeting, you should have some ideas. All we have to do is follow orders. That's really easy."
After the discussion, people looked at Li Hanshuang quietly.
Li Hanshuang said to them, "I called you here for a meeting because I want to discuss with you the issue of the sealed ones escaping the seal and voluntarily staying on Penglai Island after being captured, asking for redemption."
There was a quiet discussion.
"Since you've put this issue before us, do you want us to make a decision today?"
"We should be able to have a result after today's discussion. That's not too much to ask."
"Then should this question still follow the previous rules? If two-thirds or more agree, the answer to this question is yes. In the future, if the captured sealed ones are willing to help, they can stay in Penglai and provide us with assistance."
“It sounds like a good thing, but it’s a matter that affects the entire body. If everyone really agrees, we have to consider how to manage them and how to arrange for them. After all, they came out of the sealed area.
We can't let our guard down. If they just want to escape or bite us back, or mess things up, we can't give them this opportunity!"
Li Hanshuang waited until they finished their discussion and then said, "Now let's start the vote. Raise your hands if you agree."
After the count was completed, the majority agreed.
Li Hanshuang nodded, but after looking at Li Baili, he suddenly felt like laughing. He felt like he had worked hard to farm the land for half a year and finally saw the fruits of the harvest.
After all, before Li Baili came to sign the contract, there was no doubt that Demon Island and Penglai Island were incompatible and it was absolutely impossible for them to coexist peacefully.
It is even more impossible for the current situation to happen, where Penglai Island holds a meeting to discuss the fate of the sealed people.
It would be ridiculous to say that Li Baili and Li Hanshuang played no role in this.
Li Baili blinked her eyes and gave him a fleeting smile, then her face became serious again, as if she had not smiled at all.
Li Hanshuang looked away, tried to be patient, controlled his face to show the same serious expression, tried not to let his voice reveal any flaws, and said calmly: "Then let's discuss how to manage and control those sealed people who voluntarily stay here and provide us with help?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Those who are willing to stay can stay, but they must be controlled. We can find ways to put ropes around their necks, put bracelets on their wrists, or tattoo their faces."
"Whether it's the rope or the bracelet, they must be able to kill them at any time. After all, they shouldn't have stayed in Penglai in the first place. We've already been lenient by allowing them to stay here. They can't ask for more from us."
"If you don't want to, you can go back to the sealed area. That's what we do anyway. It won't delay anything. Just follow the original rules."
"If we want to leave a mark on their faces, they must maintain their human form, and it is not easy to remove the mark. This requires us to study the material of the mark."
"This matter is still in its infancy, so we don't need too many people. Just pick one-third of the people from the Sealing Department, who are originally the ones who escorted the sealed people to the sealed area to be sealed, and add some new disciples. That's enough."
“Who’s going to take care of it?”
People looked at each other and then at Li Hanshuang.
"The managers can just pick half from the sealing department, and the other half can be filled by new disciples with good performances. That will be enough." Li Hanshuang thought for a moment and replied.
The others discussed it, thought it feasible, and nodded.
After that they discussed the details for a while, then dispersed and went back to their own work.
After the meeting, Li Qinglian walked up to Li Hanshuang and Li Baili, looked at them, and asked curiously, "Have you two really reconciled?"
Li Hanshuang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She suddenly wanted to say something to him that he couldn't understand. She pulled Li Baili closer, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile, "When has there ever been any grudge between us?"
Li Baili blinked and smiled slowly, as if she was a little late, or as if she didn't expect him to say that, and replied, "Indeed."
Blackbeard came over, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "So, will the bugs in the ball really stay in Penglai?"
"I'm afraid so," Li Hanshuang nodded, "If that bug is still willing to stay in Penglai and is willing to accept Penglai's management system, what's wrong with helping?"
"What about after this is over? Although it's a bit early to talk about this now," Blackbeard forced a smile, looking worried, and said hesitantly, "But if all the problems are over, if we lock them up again, it's like we're destroying the bridge after crossing the river. If we let them go outside, no one knows what they will do next. After all, we all know what they did in the past.
Has the lord considered how to deal with them?"
Li Hanshuang glanced at the fox still beside Li Baihe, and said with a half-smile: "Just deal with it as it should be dealt with. Reward according to merit and punish according to fault. Isn't it simple?"
The fox shivered and curled up into a ball. It felt like it was getting colder and colder. It didn't dare to look up, so it simply lowered its eyes.
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself: "Simple?"
Li Hanshuang pointed at the fox and said casually, "If this fox should be imprisoned for a thousand years, but it has only been imprisoned for five hundred years and then released, then it should be imprisoned for another five hundred years.
Before being locked up, the fox completed the task. Then according to the rules of Penglai, he will be rewarded. After the reward is in his hands, the task is completed, and he will be locked up again until the end of his sentence. Isn't it simple?"
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Blackbeard blinked his eyes, hesitated, frowned and whispered, "After all, I've never heard of putting a meritorious official in jail."
Li Hanshuang said with disdain: "Meritorious officials? They are prisoners now, and at most they can be considered to have made meritorious contributions while serving their sentence."
"Will they cause trouble if we treat them like such an inferior?" Blackbeard asked worriedly.
"Just kill him if he starts making trouble," Li Hanshuang sneered, "We were going to kill him anyway, weren't we?"
"What if they don't contribute?" Blackbeard asked with a frown.
Li Baili sighed, "Then just kill them! They want to stay here because they don't want to go back. If they can't help, don't even think about going back. It's better to just kill them and save trouble for everyone."
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Hanshuang. Li Hanshuang nodded, his face expressionless but his eyes slightly revealed a hint of approval and appreciation. It was obvious that they meant the same thing.
Blackbeard had long known that the people on Demon Island were completely different from those on humans, but today, when he heard the owner of Demon Island say it in person, it still felt a little different.
From the perspective of humans, the sealed ones can be considered as part of the demons. As the lord of demons, Li Baihe is so stingy with sympathy towards demons, so how about humans?
If he sincerely wanted to coexist peacefully with the immortal cultivators, his goal would have been achieved after the contract was signed. So why is he staying with the Penglai Sect Master now?
Blackbeard glanced at Li Hanshuang. Li Hanshuang was looking at Li Baili with his head tilted slightly, with a smile in his eyes. His gaze was clear and gentle, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
Blackbeard suddenly began to worry about Li Hanshuang's life safety.
