Chapter 1249 - 583: Negotiating Interests in Sun Wu Pavilion
Sect Leader Huo Guodong of the Spiritual Ability Sect proposed such an opinion, and no one was surprised.
Among the Three Great Sects, only the Spiritual Ability Sect does not have its own Floating Island now.
Therefore, their request is reasonable and expected by everyone.
At this moment, Yuan Shijie suddenly said in a deep voice: "That Spatial Floating Island must belong to us."
"Hmm?"
On the side of the Spiritual Ability Sect, Huo Guodong abruptly raised his head and looked at Yuan Shijie.
Their gazes collided, both revealing a cold and fierce expression.
Huo Guodong suddenly laughed: "Heh, I almost forgot, Commander Yuan’s Hawk Faction army, just like us, still doesn’t have a foothold."
"If we had known it would come to this, why didn’t Commander Yuan take action back when Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin appeared?"
Just as Huo Guodong finished speaking, Ye Zhixuan beside him laughed: "Sect Leader, did you forget? At that time, Commander Yuan was still being restrained by Feng Jiangong, unable to leave Cangqiong Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Huo Guodong suddenly realized and laughed: "Hahaha, you reminded me, how could I forget that military’s top expert Feng Jiangong?"
The two laughed together, putting the Hawk Faction over the fire to roast.
The conflict between the military Hawk Faction and the various factions has always been a topic of interest to the outside world.
The Hawk Faction seems tough in their methods, but overall, they are not as powerful as the Dove Faction.
The top expert, Feng Jiangong, is from the Dove Faction.
The top leader of the pre-flood military region, Zhang Yujiang, is also from the Dove Faction.
The only Floating Island, Mist Island, is also in the hands of the Dove Faction.
On the Hawk Faction’s side, they have only occupied the old military camp and outdated equipment production line, without inheriting any military resources.
If the person sitting here today were Dove Faction leader Zhang Yujiang, the Three Great Sects wouldn’t dare to ridicule and mock like this.
Because the main conflict between the military and the Three Great Sects is actually the Dove Faction’s conflict with the Three Great Sects.
For the Dove Faction’s ideology of saving the world, the Three Great Sects are naturally completely evil cults.
For some unknown reason, the Dove Faction has always lived on the Cloud Mist Island and has not fully taken action to resolve the Three Great Sects, let alone resolve the Hawk Faction.
Yuan Shijie’s gaze was ominous and cold as he said, "Huo Guodong, are you courting death?"
Huo Guodong stopped smiling and looked up at Yuan Shijie: "Do you really think you’re somebody? I called you Commander Yuan, did you really think you’re a commander?"
"Bang!"
Yuan Shijie slammed the table fiercely, and the tabletop in front of him shattered instantly.
Huo Guodong stood up abruptly with a sneer: "You think I’m afraid of you? Come on, do it!"
The golden pattern on his forehead flickered, like a third eye.
Strange noises appeared all over his body.
There were hissing, low roars, and cries.
It was as if countless Mutant Beasts were hiding within him.
On the side of the Earth Mother Sect nearby, Shi Lianhai watched this scene with a sneer, not stopping them but instead mocking: "Fight! It’s best if you fight to the death, then there’ll be one less party to share the resources of Yangshan."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shijie and Huo Guodong, who were almost at a boiling point, calmed down a lot.
At this time, Hu Zhong, the Knowledge Priest of the Water God Sect and the head of the Abyss Archives, stepped forward.
"You two, Yangshan hasn’t been eliminated yet, and that Liang guy hasn’t been killed, why are we turning against each other?"
"Isn’t it a bit early to discuss the distribution of Yangshan’s resources now?"
"Shouldn’t we at least wait to see the battle results and distribute the post-war resources based on contributions?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Guodong sneered: "Hu Zhong, Liang Long, stop pretending to be good people here. Who doesn’t know that you’re now in cahoots with Yuan Shijie?"
"Your credibility is worthless to me. I invited you to ally with us to help the Spiritual Ability Sect seize Yellow Earth Divine Origin. You betrayed us halfway, ruining everything. I will always remember this!"
Hearing this, Hu Zhong laughed and said: "Sect Leader Huo, business is business. Who knew the Earth Mother Sect offered a higher price then?"
On the Earth Mother Sect’s side, Shi Lianhai of the Fertile Soil Department’s face darkened immediately, and he said coldly, "It’s in the past, are you planning to settle old scores?"
"If so, Huo Guodong, you killed my younger brother on the Huangtu Plateau, how do we settle this score?"
"Your brother? That scum actually dared to block my path, dying was a favor to him."
"If it weren’t for him, I would have long since refined the Brain Core of Yellow Earth Divine Origin, leaving no chance for your Earth Mother Sect!"
"Hahaha, well, well, well, Huo Guodong, I see you’re really courting death!"
Shi Lianhai of the Earth Mother Sect stood up with a sneer, shouting: "Gentlemen, I say we pause this alliance and instead unite to take down that dog Huo Guodong first!"
"Kill this old thing, and complete the alliance ritual with the blood of the Spiritual Ability Sect!"
Shi Lianhai’s words immediately caused many within the Spiritual Ability Sect to show changes in expression.
The Spiritual Ability Sect members immediately glanced at other factions, showing signs of vigilance.
Some even quietly reached for their blades.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Fortunately, these various faction leaders were no fools, knowing that taking action for internal disputes now would be incredibly foolish.
To fight over interests that haven’t been gained yet would be too stupid.
"Everyone, I have a proposal."
From the Water God Sect, Liang Long suddenly spoke.
Everyone coldly snorted, but tacitly didn’t take action and allowed Liang Long to continue speaking.
Liang Long smiled: "How about this, we and the Earth Mother Sect forgo the Floating Island. You two can negotiate how to distribute those two Floating Islands."
"My Water God Sect only needs a portion of the Floating Island and Yangshan’s Superpower Stones, technology, population, and other resources."
On the Earth Mother Sect’s side, Shi Lianhai suddenly shouted, "Liang Long, are you representing our Earth Mother Sect then?"
"Oh? Brother Shi doesn’t agree with this plan?"
Yuan Shijie and Huo Guodong both looked at Shi Lianhai.
Shi Lianhai immediately said, "I don’t need the Floating Island, but the resources on the island, I absolutely must have, especially population resources. Why should they all be given to your Water God Sect?"
Since the last struggle over the Yellow Earth Divine Origin, the Earth Mother Sect has lost a large population.
Later, in two attacks on Yangshan, they lost another batch of skilled hands.
Now the demand for population is very high.
In fact, the Three Great Sects are all severely short of people!
The military side seems better off, since the Hawk Faction’s ruthless style at least comes from their former military background.
They naturally carry the identity of pre-apocalyptic soldiers, which makes survivors more likely to trust them.
That’s why many survivors come to seek refuge with Yuan Shijie’s military faction for help.
And Yuan Shijie used this point to quickly gather people and establish the Hawk Faction’s scale.
For population resources, the Three Great Sects are the leading contenders.
Everyone understands that this apocalyptic flood has killed an unknown number of people.
The surviving survivors are likely less than ten percent of the pre-apocalyptic population.
In the future, whoever controls population resources will most easily succeed in establishing a super shelter.
This is almost a consensus among everyone.
So everybody is competing for population.
Of course, the prerequisite for requiring population is having territory, with Floating Islands still being the primary element.
Now that the military Hawk Faction and Spiritual Ability Sect have chosen Floating Islands, the resources on the island naturally need to be shared.
Both Water God Sect and Earth Mother Sect have their own Floating Islands, and what they most want, of course, is population resources.
Now the Water God Sect simply wants to take away these resources, how could Shi Lianhai agree?
On the Water God Sect’s side, Hu Zhong smiled and said, "Hey, can’t we discuss this matter?"
"Brother Shi, how to allocate the resources obtained by taking Yangshan should depend on who contributed more in this battle, right?"
"Currently, Yangshan has three places, three islands centered around Yangshan, containing a large number of Superpower Stones, resourceful populations, various Mutant Plants, and crops."
"There’s also the Spatial Floating Island, Mirage Snake Space."
"That person surnamed Liang just refined the Dark Attribute Floating Island."
"Among these three, the most dangerous is the mysterious Dark Attribute Floating Island, and everyone has sent people there before understanding what is on that island."
"The one surnamed Liang is the owner of that island, his strength there is surely stronger, no doubt about it."
"And the three islands of Yangshan are troublesome, they’re not Floating Islands, but everyone on the islands are Yangshan’s Superpower Users, making it difficult to attack despite having many resources."
"The Spatial Floating Island is actually the simplest, as long as we break the Spatial Barrier, we can drive straight in, and once we resolve Li Qinghua, everything else is not difficult."
"Our four parties should decide how to choose, shouldn’t we settle this first and then discuss how to allocate benefits?"
With these words, no one opposed.
However, at this time Ding Huaiyi suddenly spoke, "There’s an issue here. If we’re allocating tasks based on territory, then wherever that person surnamed Liang is shouldn’t that be the most difficult to attack?"
These words immediately startled the others, Shi Lianhai, Huo Guodong, and the others promptly reacted.
On the Water God Sect’s side, Hu Zhong smiled, "That’s simple, we can first concentrate our manpower, kill Liang Yuan first, and then allocate tasks according to territory."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but nod slightly, all agreeing that this suggestion was good.
The atmosphere of discussion inside Sun Wu Pavilion became more intense.
No one noticed the entire sky was covered by a shadow.
At the same time, the sky darkened, and laughter echoed inside Sun Wu Pavilion.
"Haha, splendid, truly splendid."
"Are you discussing how to divide benefits already?"
This voice appeared abruptly, along with the encroaching darkness.
Everyone showed a look of surprise and suspicion, stood up, and looked around.
Ding Huaiyi looked towards the shadow outside and his face suddenly changed.
"Liang Yuan!"
Having personally experienced the horror of the Dark Abyss Mouth, he immediately recognized the meaning of this shadow!
Without further words, he immediately shouted, "It’s bad, that one surnamed Liang has arrived!"
His shout startled everyone, prompting them to rush outside.
Yuan Shijie’s eyes were cold, just about to follow and assess the situation.
But Ding Huaiyi grabbed Yuan Shijie and shouted, "Don’t, sir, quickly leave the shadow’s range, this is the Dark Abyss Mouth, once covered by the shadow, you’ll be dragged into the shadow world in an instant!"
Yuan Shijie naturally knew about the Dark Abyss Mouth, he had long learned about Liang Yuan from Ding Huaiyi.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stopped, grabbed Ding Huaiyi, and shouted, "Withdraw from the shadow range!"
Ding Huaiyi also shouted, "Use the Sealing Rune! Tear open the shadow!"
Their voices were loud, and the senior leaders who had just rushed out from the Three Great Sects hurriedly stopped moving.
However, even so, the fastest ones were directly swept away by the shadow.
Everyone saw those people instantly transform into shadows, swallowed by darkness, and disappeared without a trace.
This strange scene made everyone’s faces change as they all retreated quickly!
