Chapter 581: Senior Brother, what are your plans?

“The current state of the world is not as chaotic as before.

At least, it’s not entirely without order.

First, the Desolate Territory currently has twenty-five City Lords.

These twenty-five City Lords have allied with Sects from the Nine Continents and are scattered across them.

In reality, these twenty-five City Lords of the Desolate Territory aren’t truly an Alliance.

They might have had some sort of Alliance before, but it’s now an Alliance in name only.”

Inside the council chamber of the Zilin Holy Land, Su Ying stood at the front, where a projection displayed the various powers of the world.

“Aside from these twenty-five City Lords of the Desolate Territory, there are the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan seems to consist of many races.

But in practice, they can be roughly divided into three categories: sea, land, and air.

Among them, the marine species of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan have reached into the Dragon Palace’s territory. The Dragon Clan is extremely displeased and is currently fighting them every few days.

As for those on land, the territory they occupy is roughly equivalent to half a continent.

Not many Sects have allied with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan prefers conquest; the Sects they conquer are treated as their slaves.

Then there are various other Sects.

Different Sects form different Alliances.

Take the Qianye Continent for example.

There are nearly seven hundred Sect Alliances in the Qianye Continent alone.

Nowadays, the distinction between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path has essentially vanished.

People follow whoever feeds them; there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.

The various Alliances wage war against each other, and it’s even common for Sects within an Alliance to backstab one another.

Currently, our Alliance consists of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Zilin Holy Land, Tianji City, and Medicine King Valley, making it one of the most powerful Sect blocks in the Qianling Holy Land and the entire world.

Others should be thanking their lucky stars that we aren’t attacking them, let alone other Alliances trying to attack us.

Additionally, regarding news from the Demon Race World.

The Demon Race World is actually much more stable than our Nine Continents right now.

The imperial family of the Demon Race World is still the Celestial White Snake Clan; that hasn’t changed.

However, in practice, the Demon Race World is jointly controlled by She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao.

It’s not that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and City Lords from the Desolate Territory haven’t gone to the Demon Race World to seek cooperation.

But without exception, all these forces were rejected.

After being rejected, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and those City Lords were unhappy and tried to conquer the Demon Race World by brute force.

However, they soon discovered that the Demon Race World is truly a monolithic fortress.

Some even tried sowing discord, but it was completely useless.

In short, it depends on our future plans.

We are already in a chaotic era.

Whether we choose to stay out of it or take a step forward to conquer and unify—we have the capability for either.”

After speaking, Su Ying gave a slight bow, left the front, and sat down next to Lin Xun.

Finally, Lin Xun stood up and distributed a set of established rules to Jiang Yuerou, Sikong Jing, and Must Not Die.

These rules mainly covered how the four Sects should support each other if anything happened!

Of course, the most important thing was still the need to increase trust between the Sects.

Trust is extremely vital; if the trust between Sects is low, their side wouldn’t be able to withstand a few schemes to sow discord.

None of the Sect Masters opposed Lin Xun’s suggestions, finding them feasible.

Another half-hour passed, and the meeting concluded.

Su Ying and Jiang Yuerou were communicating with the various Sect Masters and Elders.

There was nothing left for Lin Xun to do here.

Lin Xun walked through the Saintess Peak of the Qianling Holy Land, appearing as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, yet also as if he were deep in thought.

The major affairs and general directions of the Sect Alliance were decided by Su Ying, Qingshang, and the others.

What he needed to do was serve as a deterrent.

Wherever a fight was needed, he would step up.

This was actually quite good.

After all, having to think about so many different things was quite exhausting.

“Senior Brother.”

As Lin Xun continued walking through the woods, Su Ying flew to his side.

“How is it? Is everything settled?”

Lin Xun asked with a smile.

“Yes.”

Su Ying nodded.

“It’s all thanks to Senior Brother’s contribution.”

Lin Xun smiled and shook his head. “What contribution did I make?”

“You did. Senior Brother’s contribution is huge.

If it weren’t for Senior Brother, those Sects wouldn’t be so obedient.

Senior Brother is currently the only Spirit Refining Realm expert in the Nine Continents.”

“Strength is only part of it. If our Alliance didn’t have a good future, no one would want to follow us.”

“But strength is the most important part.”

“Alright, alright, no need to keep praising your Senior Brother. Walk with me.”

“Mhm.”

Lin Xun and Su Ying walked together through the woods. Neither spoke, yet neither felt even a hint of awkwardness.

Some people are like that; no matter when it is or how long they’ve been apart, when they meet, it never feels out of place.

“Senior Brother, what are your plans?”

The plans Su Ying was asking about were whether Lin Xun intended to stay out of things in this world or participate in the struggle for supremacy.

“I’m not sure.”

Lin Xun shook his head.

For Lin Xun, he really didn’t know.

Lin Xun just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But it seemed others wouldn’t allow it.

Whether it was those City Lords from the Desolate Territory or the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

If they ruled the world, everyone outside their own races would be slaves, with no hope of ever rising up.

Even if he didn’t go looking for trouble, they would undoubtedly come looking for him.

In that case, should he join the struggle for supremacy in this chaotic era?

And even if he didn’t participate, what if that Blood Demon was resurrected? What then?
