In the main hall of Yumu Fairy Palace on Yumu Mountain, after all the leaders and elders from all directions had greeted each other and sat down, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.
Lu Xiyao glanced at Zhao Muching, Yu Xuanzi, and Wang Fusheng, but all three looked at her calmly, with no intention of speaking.
This made Lu Xiyao and the others feel even more solemn. After this situation lasted for a cup of tea, Lu Xiyao finally gave in to the pressure and took the initiative to speak.
"Regarding the matter of eliminating evil gods, my Shaoyin Palace can withdraw the decree and will no longer carry out large-scale elimination of evil gods in the future." Lu Xiyao took the initiative to compromise.
Under this situation, she could only compromise. Although the evil god was rampant, he could not shake the Shaoyin Palace for now, so it was acceptable to compromise temporarily.
However, after Lu Xiyao said this, Zhao Muching, Yu Xuanzi, and Wang Fusheng smiled faintly.
Then Wang Fusheng said, "This is just one of the things."
"Hmm?" Lu Xiyao looked at Wang Fusheng in confusion, "Is there something else?"
Wang Fusheng, Yu Xuanzi and Zhao Mucheng looked at each other, and then Zhao Mucheng waved his hand. A great elder of the Sun Immortal Court immediately stood up and came to Lu Xiyao with a roll of jade silk in his hand.
The elder held the jade in his hands and presented it to Lu Xiyao. Then Yu Xuanzi's voice came from behind: "My three families have jointly drafted two agreements to be signed with Shaoyin Palace. Please sign them, Master Lu."
Lu Xiyao's face froze. The meaning of these words was very clear. We are not here to discuss with you today. We have already drafted two agreements and you must sign them.
Lu Xiyao's anger suddenly rose. It was clearly a four-party meeting, but you three families made an agreement without telling me. Then why did you call me here?
But Lu Xiyao was the headmaster after all, and she never showed her emotions. She took the jade with a cold expression, then opened it and took a look.
The next moment, Lu Xiyao could no longer suppress her inner anger. She threw the jade silk to the ground and said to Zhao Muching, Yu Xuanzi, and Wang Fusheng, "My three fellow Daoists, is my Shaoyin Palace a vassal of your three families? Do you want my Shaoyin Palace to always align its strategies with your three families? We are not yes-men! My Shaoyin Palace is also a great sect with Daluo as its leader!"
Zhao Muqing said, "As long as Shaoyin Palace signs these two agreements, the previous grudges between us will be wiped out. From now on, the four families will work together to rule the Haotian World."
Yu Xuanzi said, "If Shaoyin Palace doesn't sign, then from now on, only the three of us will be in charge of the Haotian World."
Wang Fusheng said, "Shaoyin Palace must make a decision today: sign this agreement and work together with us, or cut yourself off from the Haotian World. Sect Leader Lu, you must think twice."
At this time, Shaoyin Palace's Grand Elder Yuan Zhenhai couldn't help but say, "You three families are going too far!"
However, Zhao Muching, Yu Xuanzi, and Wang Fusheng ignored Yuan Zhenhai and just looked at Lu Xiyao with disdain and arrogance.
Lu Xiyao listened to the three people's words, which were obviously an ultimatum. She took a deep breath, and finally reason prevailed.
After forcibly suppressing her emotions, Lu Xiyao immediately raised her hand to pick up the jade silk on the ground, and then said to the three people, "Regarding the second agreement, my Shaoyin Palace can discuss future plans with the three immortal courts. If the three disagree, my Shaoyin Palace can not do it. I can sign this clause now, but the matter of establishing an immortal court instead requires the consent of Master Jiying Zhenjun. How about signing the second clause first and putting the first clause on hold until I consult Master Jiying Zhenjun and make a decision?"
This was the first time that Lu Xiyao spoke so humbly since she became the headmaster. Being the headmaster was both authority and responsibility. She couldn't let Shaoyin Palace fall into an irretrievable danger because of her momentary anger.
Zhao Muching and the other two remained silent. Lu Xiyao spoke again, "I can immediately revoke the decree to eliminate the evil gods, and there will be no large-scale elimination of evil gods in the future. How do you think that is?"
Logically speaking, Lu Xiyao has been so humble and made such big compromises and concessions, and anyone would agree to it.
However, Zhao Muching and the other two had already made up their minds this time. If Lu Xiyao did not sign the agreement, they would keep Lu Xiyao. Even the three Daluo Jinxians behind them were ready to deal with Jiying Zhenjun.
Therefore, when Lu Xiyao said the above words, they seemed meaningless to Zhao Muching and others.
Therefore, Zhao Muching immediately said, "Master Lu, what you said is meaningless. The only right thing you should do now is to sign these two agreements."
Lu Xiyao's expression darkened, and she immediately said, "Even if I sign, if my master doesn't agree, isn't it meaningless?"
Yu Xuanzi said, "No, it does make sense. You are the headmaster of Shaoyin Palace. As long as you sign the agreement, it will be fine."
Lu Xiyao understood that this must be the instruction of the Daluo Jinxian behind the three people. As long as she signed this agreement, they could use this agreement to force her master Jiying Zhenjun to submit.
Lu Xiyao's heart sank. She knew that today would not end peacefully. The other party was not negotiating with them at all, but forcing her to submit.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiyao recalled the kindness her master Jiying Zhenjun had shown her, and her determination to follow the Tao gradually became firmer.
"In that case, I cannot sign this agreement." After saying that, Lu Xiyao crumpled the jade in her hand into a ball and threw it directly to the ground.
Wang Fusheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Lu Xiyao's words. He said, "Master Lu, you must think carefully about this."
"The hundreds of thousands of years of foundation of your Shaoyin Palace will be destroyed in an instant because of your choice." Yu Xuanzi said with a smile.
Zhao Muching glanced at Lu Xiyao, Qin Banjun, Su Zhengxin, and Yuan Zhenhai, then said, "Master Lu, if you don't sign this agreement, then the four of you, all of your years of cultivation, will vanish into thin air."
