Chapter 579: Attacking Zilin Holy Land

When this Elder spoke these words, Jiang Yuerou’s expression could be described as extremely unsightly.

Moreover, at this moment, within the meeting on this mountain peak, the atmosphere fell into a blanket of silence.

Primarily, everyone knew of the grievances between Jiang Yuerou and Lin Xun.

It could be said that the thing Jiang Yuerou wanted to do most was to hang Lin Xun up and beat him to avenge the past!

And now, unexpectedly, someone actually proposed cooperating with Lin Xun.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Jiang Yuerou.

Even if Jiang Yuerou had known about Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang’s matter beforehand, so what?

Did Jiang Yuerou truly want her own Disciple to be involved with Lin Xun?

No!

It wasn’t like that at all!

Just because Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun had become involved, Jiang Yuerou was forced to make a slight compromise.

If it were possible, they believed Jiang Yuerou would definitely want to hang that fellow Lin Xun up and beat him!

But now!

Someone actually proposed forming an Alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!

And if they formed an Alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it would mean Jiang Yuerou could not seek revenge against Lin Xun.

They were extremely clear about their Holy Lord’s personality.

If their Holy Lord could not seek revenge against Lin Xun…

…then their Holy Lord would definitely be the type to be suffocated by frustration.

So, facing this request, would Jiang Yuerou really agree?

It was hard to say!

Regardless, these Elders were truly uncertain.

At least in the eyes of these Elders…

…Jiang Yuerou would definitely not agree!

Because they knew Jiang Yuerou’s temperament all too well!

Jiang Yuerou was simply too strong-willed.

But Jiang Yuerou’s next words caused all these Elders to look at her in surprise.

“In the current state of the world, strength is the most important part.”

“The distinction between righteous and evil is no longer that important.”

“Besides, the suggestion proposed by Elder Wang is quite good.”

“If our Zilin Holy Land can use this as a medium to form an Alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect…”

“…then our Zilin Holy Land will have an extremely powerful backup.”

“Similarly, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect will also have a very reliable ally.”

“And we can at least establish a foothold in this chaotic world!”

“Everyone knows that I have some slight personal grievances with that Lin Xun!”

“But none of that is important!”

“In this chaotic world, the most important thing is for our Zilin Holy Land to be able to gain a firm footing!”

“To be able to continue on!”

“Otherwise, everything is empty talk!”

“However, this matter is of great importance after all, and should not be decided by us alone.”

“Therefore, I propose…”

“…that we hold a vote.”

Saying this, Jiang Yuerou closed her eyes and exhaled deeply.

It was as if these words were merely to convince her own heart.

“It’s very simple.”

“In seven days, our Zilin Holy Land will hold a vote.”

“Any Cultivator at or above the Golden Core Realm…”

“…can participate in the vote.”

“Together, we will decide the future direction of the Zilin Holy Land.”

“The minority will follow the majority.”

“After all, we need to listen to the opinions of more Disciples of the Zilin Holy Land.”

“Yes!”

Hearing these words from Jiang Yuerou, many Hall Masters and Peak Masters felt that Jiang Yuerou seemed to have changed slightly.

But upon careful thought…

…this actually seemed quite reasonable.

Because no matter what…

…in Jiang Yuerou’s heart, the Zilin Holy Land definitely came first.

Jiang Yuerou had always been a qualified Holy Lord, no matter the time.

That was why so many people followed Jiang Yuerou.

And this was not decided solely by Jiang Yuerou’s high Realm.

Soon, news of the Zilin Holy Land’s vote spread throughout the entire Zilin Holy Land.

Upon learning this news, many Cultivators of the Zilin Holy Land fell into a state of conflict.

First of all, no matter what, the Zilin Holy Land had been the representative of the Righteous Path for tens of thousands of years, even overseeing the entire Qianye Continent.

For ten thousand years, the Zilin Holy Land had been as righteous as a righteous Sect could be.

Whereas the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was the representative of the Demonic Path.

The two Sects had been at odds since ancient times!

Although these were special times…

…if the Zilin Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were to join forces now, it would seem a bit strange no matter how one looked at it.

But then again…

…now their own Saintess was together with the Demonic Son of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

And regardless, it seemed that aside from that time Lin Xun came to the Zilin Holy Land to duel with their Holy Lord…

…the Ten Thousand Demon Sect hadn’t done anything else.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that Lin Xun actually had very few grievances with the Zilin Holy Land.

And this became the best bridge for cooperation between the two Holy Lands.

Thinking this way, the cooperation between the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and the Zilin Holy Land was not so unfeasible after all.

Thus, two factions emerged within the Zilin Holy Land.

One faction felt that the Zilin Holy Land should not cooperate with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!

Because no matter what…

…since ancient times, there have been many clear boundaries between the righteous and Demonic Paths.

If they were to cooperate with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, what would happen later?

What about after the chaotic times?

Would they expect the Ten Thousand Demon Sect to abandon darkness for light, or would they themselves turn to the Demonic Path and be looked down upon by the rest of the world’s Righteous Path?

Of course.

In truth, if they were forced to cooperate, they didn’t think it would be a big deal.

Other matters could be discussed later.

The matter of the Zilin Holy Land’s vote naturally spread to other places.

Many people closely watched every move of the Zilin Holy Land, and some Sects even continued to attack the Zilin Holy Land.

They stated that if the Zilin Holy Land cooperated with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, then the Zilin Holy Land would be classified as part of the Demonic Path.

As for the ridicule and threats from these people of the Righteous Path, the Zilin Holy Land didn’t take them to heart at all.

There were even some Disciples of the Zilin Holy Land who originally quite disliked the proposal to ally with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

But after being stirred up by the other side…

…these Disciples immediately felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

“The affairs of our Zilin Holy Land are decided by our Zilin Holy Land itself.”

“What do you people mean by trying to interfere?”

Consequently, more and more Disciples leaned towards cooperating with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Come to think of it, aren’t those enchantresses of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect more attractive than the so-called fairies of the famous righteous Sects?

Besides, wouldn’t it be a great thing to have a passionate romance with an Enchantress?

Thus, in the big vote a few days later, the votes for the Zilin Holy Land to ally with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect held a commanding lead.

Those righteous Cultivators naturally could not accept this.

They immediately thought of classifying the Zilin Holy Land as an Evil Path and then attacking it.
