Chapter 123 Calculated Entry
After listening to Elder Sheng's analysis, the hall fell silent, and even the disdain on Mo Yu's face was replaced by a solemn expression.
Zhong Ming's use of the Li tribe as bait forced them to consider the matter carefully. If they didn't join the scheme and waited for the Li tribe to be annexed by the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect, now even stronger, would inevitably plot against the entire Southern Ridge territory, which would obviously be extremely disadvantageous for the Demon Alliance.
However, if they were to agree to Zhongming's proposal, it would mean that the Demon Alliance would inevitably be drawn into the mess between the Li Clan and the Demon Sect, and would inevitably have to confront the Demon Sect head-on.
A bloody storm was inevitable, and this was exactly what Zhong Ming wanted to see, as they had fallen right into his trap.
Mo Yu couldn't help but curse out loud, "Damn it, it's really unpleasant to be schemed against like this."
For a moment, everyone was at a loss, and their gazes all fell on the man in the head seat once again.
But he was seen leaning lazily against the rosewood chair, his deep pupils like a cold, still pool.
It seemed that what was happening before his eyes was nothing more than fleeting smoke to him.
With a slight lowering of his gaze, Si Hanye glanced indifferently at the crowd.
He opened his mouth and said, "What are your thoughts? Why don't you share them?"
Old Sheng's hoarse voice rang out again: "I believe that between two evils, we should choose the lesser. If we sit and wait for the demon sect to devour the Li clan without doing anything, they will surely encroach on the entire Nanling territory after their strength increases. At that time, the demon sect will have three of the entire continent, and our situation, which is surrounded by the demon sect, will only become more severe."
"If we agree to cooperate with Zhongming, although he may use us, on the other hand, it can also thwart the Demon Sect's plan to seize the entire Southern Ridge."
Bingyao nodded thoughtfully and respectfully said to Si Hanye, "I also think Elder Sheng's analysis makes sense. Agreeing to cooperate with Zhongming is not only to help the Li Clan solve the invasion of the Demon Sect, but also to consider the interests of the Demon Alliance itself. Even if Zhongming does not come on his own initiative, we cannot just watch the Demon Sect annex the Li Clan."
After everyone's analysis, their gazes involuntarily returned to Si Hanye above.
The man elegantly rested his chin on one hand, his long eyelashes closed, his handsome face so relaxed and carefree. He seemed to be asleep, making one reluctant to disturb him.
Time passed by, and just when everyone thought he had really fallen asleep and was about to quietly leave, his clear, deep voice drifted over.
His words were utterly arrogant and unrestrained. "Just do as Zhongming says. I want to see how he'll escape unscathed from the clash between the two forces..."
The crowd paused for a moment, and in the man's usually deep and unfathomable eyes, they caught a ripple of something indescribable.
The master seems to have changed. In the past, he was indifferent to these things, or rather, he didn't care about them at all.
He had always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards the development of the Demon Alliance, but at this moment...
After a brief silence, everyone reacted and immediately responded in unison.
The change of masters was naturally welcomed by everyone in the Demon Alliance, as it meant that the two super-powerful forces on the entire continent would finally decide the victor, and one of them would remain.
……
In the spacious and quiet hall, after listening to his subordinate's report, the exceptionally burly man could no longer contain his anger and slammed his large hand on the table beside him.
With a loud bang, sawdust scattered everywhere.
The man's bold face flushed red, and he immediately cursed, "Damn it, this bastard Zhongming, while cooperating with us, actually dared to try and curry favor with the Demon Alliance. What does he take our Demon Sect for? Someone he can use and discard as he pleases?"
Seeing this, an old man with a withered figure and sunken eyes frowned and immediately reprimanded him, "Enough, Kuli! The sect leader is still here. Stop being so rude! Show some restraint."
Suddenly reprimanded, the burly man Kuli, who was in a fit of rage, was instantly calmed down as if doused with cold water. He looked at the figure sitting above him with some fear and unease.
Seeing that he was not displeased by his outburst, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
The man sitting above was dressed in a white robe. His slightly thin and slender body appeared even more tall and slender under the wide robe.
Her long, silver-white hair fell casually down her back.
He was ethereal and hazy, like the morning mist in the mountains, and his exceptionally fair face remained unchanged despite Kuli's angry shouts.
He casually tossed two pieces of demonic gold in his palm.
His thin lips moved slightly, as if he were muttering to himself, or perhaps asking those around him, "Why do you think he suddenly became interested in doing these things?"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances, somewhat puzzled by the sect leader's meaning.
After a pause, the withered old man, Mu Ying, still raised his voice and answered truthfully: "I believe that Zhong Ming must have discovered our plan, so he wants to bring the Demon Alliance into the game and use them to deal with us. With the Demon Alliance involved, our actions will be restricted at every turn. After stirring up the waters, he will take the opportunity to break free from our control."
Kuli snorted and said disdainfully, "He's good at scheming, but he's using it in the wrong place. My Demon Sect has been planning for so many years, and the Li Clan has long been completely infiltrated by us. How can he just leave as he pleases?"
"He wanted to save the Li tribe from their plight and play the hero, but we're not going to let him have his way. He chose us for his own selfish reasons, so he should have expected this outcome. Now we're in control of the game, and he can't just quit halfway through."
Mu Ying lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then a hint of confusion flashed in his cloudy old eyes. "I really don't understand. How could the people of the Demon Alliance not know about Zhong Ming's little scheme? Why would they agree to it?"
The white-haired man sitting above casually reached out and caught the falling demon gold, muttering to himself, "Yes, why did you agree?"
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes became increasingly interested.
Si Hanye... I really can't wait to face you...
The Nanling Mountains are a vast and boundless territory, with continuous mountain ranges.
Wutong Valley is surrounded by layers upon layers of mountains, and is filled with layers upon layers of dark, poisonous mist that rises into the sky, within which various poisonous insects and creatures roam freely.
If you sense it carefully, you can detect that, under the cover of poisonous gas and toxins, the valley is also surrounded by multiple powerful magic arrays that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
It's obvious that someone did this intentionally, with the aim of preventing outsiders from entering at will.
If any fools were to break in, even those with profound cultivation would likely not escape unscathed and would meet a tragic end.
Anyone with a modicum of knowledge and cultivation would avoid this place.
Suddenly, a streak of turquoise streaked across the sky and vanished instantly into the pitch-black poisonous barrier...
