Although the people from Guiyilou, Biyunxuan, and Haotianfu were puzzled, seeing that Shen Qianjun had agreed made things easier for them.
"That would be best. Now let's talk about the details."
"Yes, we need to confirm the resources, the participants in the competition, and so on."
Shen Qianjun looked at them and said, "You guys go first. Didn't we already have a plan?"
Xu Zhenyang, the owner of Guiyilou, looked at everyone and said, "That's right. I'll state our previous proposal, and we can discuss it further if anyone has any opinions."
Shen Qianjun watched them quietly.
"First, resources. I think that apart from our respective factions' own resources, all other resources should be redistributed, including restaurants, markets, spiritual mountains, mines, and so on."
As he spoke, he observed the reactions of the people in Lingyan Pavilion, and as he expected, their expressions were quite unpleasant.
Shen Qianjun snorted coldly. This was the rhythm of buying at rock-bottom prices. Lingyan Pavilion had so many industries. If it really was as Guiyi Louzhu said, if they lost, then all that would be left was the main base, an empty shell.
These people are really ruthless; I used to be their ally.
However, these people probably never dreamed that Lingyan Pavilion would have strong reinforcements this time, and it's still uncertain who will have the last laugh.
Shen Qianjun naturally couldn't agree immediately. Feigning displeasure, he said in a deep voice:
"Master Xu, are you trying to buy up all our assets at rock-bottom prices? Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?"
Faced with Shen Qianjun's angry gaze, Xu Zhenyang of Guiyi Tower felt a little guilty, but after looking at the people from Biyunxuan and Haotianfu, he felt confident again.
"What are you saying, Pavilion Master Shen? We're doing this for the good of the alliance. Lingyan Pavilion has been struggling lately, as everyone can feel."
His words immediately enraged the elders of Lingyan Pavilion. "What do you mean by that? Don't you know what you've been doing?"
Shen Qianjun also said unhappily, "We don't need you to worry about the affairs of our Lingyan Pavilion. Let's continue with our business."
"What does Pavilion Master Shen think of the resource proposal?"
"Not really. I think that when it comes to exchanges between juniors, a small amount of resources is enough, such as some low-grade small spirit mines or some shops with average profits. There's no need to go all out."
Xu Zhenyang and the others sneered, knowing that Shen Qianjun lacked confidence in the disciples of Lingyan Pavilion and was afraid of losing too badly. If this was a mere slap on the wrist for Lingyan Pavilion, it wouldn't be their main objective.
“Pavilion Master Shen, you are being far too stingy. Our Flying Rainbow City has not hosted a large-scale event in all these years. It’s only a rare occasion for us to have a lively event. Wouldn’t this make us a laughing stock? If you’re going to gamble, gamble big.”
Shen Qianjun laughed inwardly. They were really asking for death. If Qin Feng and the other three hadn't come, he would have been worried. Now he was full of confidence. They would have their turn to cry.
Besides, he didn't believe that these three companies had an absolutely trusting partnership; it was just a temporary collaboration. In the beginning, the four companies had a very good relationship.
He took a deep breath, looked at Xu Zhenyang and the others seriously, and asked, "Does this have to be done? Do you think this is appropriate?"
Xu Zhenyang of Guiyilou said, "If Feihong City wants to develop, it needs major reforms, and I think this is appropriate."
Pei Ming of Biyunxuan said, "I agree with Master Xu's opinion."
Sui Yong of Haotian Prefecture: "I agree as well."
The statements from the three parties shattered any lingering hope in Shen Qianjun's heart. He had always thought that after so many years of alliance, there would be some friendship between them, but now these people wanted nothing more than to divide up Lingyan Pavilion and tear it apart.
"What if my Lingyan Pavilion doesn't agree?"
Xu Zhenyang, Pei Ming, and Sui Yong exchanged a glance, their faces cold.
“Pavilion Master Shen should know that if things continue like this, it will only become more and more disadvantageous for Lingyan Pavilion. This proposal is your best option.”
This has become a threat.
Everyone in Lingyan Pavilion glared angrily at Xu Zhenyang.
Suppressing his anger, Shen Qianjun asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that Lingyan Pavilion will fight you to the death?"
Xu Zhenyang smiled slightly and responded frankly.
“Pavilion Master Shen, we are all intelligent people. No one wants to start a war unless absolutely necessary. It would not benefit either of us. Besides, it’s just some resources. What’s more important than talent? Lingyan Pavilion has so many outstanding disciples. Can you bear to let them participate in the war?”
He was telling the truth. Lingyange had been holding back until now partly because the other side had not crossed their bottom line, and partly because they did not want to start a war.
Shen Qianjun pretended to be hesitant, his expression quite unpleasant.
Seeing him like this, Xu Zhenyang and the others felt a little smug. They really had Shen Qianjun under their control now, and they smiled at each other.
In the end, Shen Qianjun gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Let's put that aside for now. Tell me how you want to compare them."
Xu Zhenyang knew that Shen Qianjun had compromised somewhat and was pinning his hopes on the competition rules.
"Let the older generation take care of it, let the younger generation do the work."
Shen Qianjun sneered inwardly. They just think their younger generation of disciples at Lingyan Pavilion are no good. What a nice way to put it.
"We'll arrange five disciples each from the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivation levels to form a group. The groups will compete against each other, and the team that defeats all five members of a group will win. What do you all think?"
Shen Qianjun thought to himself, "These people are really ruthless. They've plugged all the loopholes. If it were calculated on a per-person-per-match basis, the people from Lingyan Pavilion might still have a chance to win a few matches."
Now that the competition is divided into groups, it comes down to overall strength. Even if an individual doesn't perform well for a moment, it won't affect the result. It's really well-planned; these people are ruthless.
At the same time, Shen Qianjun had no more feelings for these people. After this matter was over, he no longer needed to hold back. He would settle accounts with Xu Yusong after he recovered.
