Chapter 648 Wu Shijiu Asks for a Fight
"Hello everyone." Facing the greetings of these people, Zhu Houcong surprisingly responded calmly, and only showed a little smile when he greeted Taoist Qingxu and King Xiang. As for the others, he was very cold.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Among the people who came, except Taoist Qingxu and King Xiang, the others Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuhen were the murderers of Emperor Wuzong. If it were not for the overall situation and the pressure of many forces in Tianhuang Realm, they would never live in peace.
As for Tie Qianshan and Zi Tianxiong, Zhu Houcong originally had a general impression of them, but since they were mixed with Zhao Baiyang and others, they were birds of a feather in Zhu Houcong's eyes.
And even in the hearts of Zhu Houcong and Zhao Baiyang, they knew that one day, they would have a battle to settle their grievances.
"Hello everyone." Wu Shijiu smiled indifferently and returned the greeting, ignoring the atmosphere in the hall.
He and the emperor were partners. If he didn't want to get involved in the grievances between the two sides, then naturally no one could force him, so he was very calm and didn't care at all.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be like this. Please sit down!" Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.
He was naturally aware of the situation, so he took the initiative to take over the topic and eliminate the awkward atmosphere.
After waiting for these people to sit down one by one, Pei Xuanjing said, "I believe you all know the purpose of my inviting you to come here. So I wonder if you have any ideas about this matter?"
When he sent a message to invite these people to come here, he had already described his current situation in detail, and this information was almost enough for these people. They must have had some plans in their minds during the process of coming here.
Hearing Pei Xuanjing's inquiry, Zhao Baiyang and others looked at each other. As Pei Xuanjing guessed, after receiving this news, they naturally understood the current situation.
And they also know that the decision made by Pei Xuanjing at the moment is to maximize the interests of these people. It is for them. Otherwise, with Pei Xuanjing's status and strength, he does not need to do so at all. As long as he agrees to those people, Pei Xuanjing's interests will not be reduced in the slightest, and even more.
"Since it is already like this, what we need to consider now is how to deal with the next fight. Winning from it is the most important thing." Zhao Baiyang said slowly.
The situation is still the same. No matter what the reason is, since they do not have enough power and strength to overturn other people's rules, they can only choose to abide by it.
In this case, what can be done is to find a way to win this fight within this rule, so as to achieve the situation they expect.
For Zhao Baiyang's words, everyone present agreed. After all, none of them who can get to where they are today are simple people.
Pei Xuanjing nodded and approved of this. The reason why he called Zhao Baiyang and others, in addition to their identities, is because they recognize the reality and do not need to explain too much.
"What is lacking now is the candidates for the seventh and eighth levels of the spiritual realm. I wonder what you think of them and whether you are confident?" Pei Xuanjing asked them.
While speaking, Pei Xuanjing looked back and forth at these people, wanting to know their true strength.
The realm of cultivation is not equal to combat power. The strength that a cultivator can exert is only a foundation. More consideration should be given to the magical skills, magic weapons, and magic treasures that the cultivator has mastered.
It is like Pei Xuanjing's current realm is the eighth level of the spiritual realm, but his combat power is more than that. With his own magical skills, swordsmanship, and the blessing of the god, he is enough to be on par with the strongest, and even suppress the strongest.
Therefore, even if these people sitting here seem to be only at the sixth level of the spiritual realm, Pei Xuanjing is actually not clear about their true strength and what they can do. Perhaps only they themselves can know their own trump cards.
It is a taboo to easily detect a cultivator's trump card. No one does it easily, even Pei Xuanjing is unwilling to do so.
However, the current situation is like this. If Pei Xuanjing is not willing to admit defeat and give up the current share, then Pei Xuanjing needs to understand the true strength of these people so that he can make such a response.
Hearing Pei Xuanjing's question, the people present looked indifferent. Obviously, they have already known everything in it and expected this situation.
However, no one expected that before the others spoke, Wu Shijiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "For the eighth-level spiritual realm competition, Wu thinks he still has some ability. If you believe it, why not give it to Wu?"
Hmm?
Everyone's eyes can't help but look at Wu Shijiu.
In fact, although Wu Shijiu appeared here, in fact, the few people present, including Pei Xuanjing, did not want Wu Shijiu to take action.
After all, although Wu Shijiu is now an ally with them, he was born in Tianhuang Realm after all. If he took action at this time, it would inevitably be a bit inappropriate.
"Brother Wu, there is no need to do this." Pei Xuanjing wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Wu Shijiu unexpectedly.
Wu Shijiu shook his head and said, "Since I have already determined my position, I am not the type to retreat. Moreover, as long as there is no overlord like the national master among the eighth-level spiritual realm cultivators, I think that even if I cannot defeat the others, there will be no problem."
As a person who survived the pursuit of the strongest people of the Wushen Sect, Wu Shijiu is confident in his own strength. Even if the rulers and ancestors of those ancient countries take action, he thinks he can deal with it.
He knows that he can actually not take action in this fight, and no one will criticize him, but Wu Shijiu still decides to take action.
Because he knows that when he promoted the cooperation between the Wushen Sect and Pei Xuanjing, Pei Xuanjing actually felt bad. Now he just takes this opportunity to express his position as a token of his loyalty.
Moreover, the most important point is that if he takes action now, he can also get a certain share of the profits when the shares are divided in the future.
For Wu Shijiu now, everything in the world has returned to the time when the strongest people standing at the top decided everything. He can no longer be as free as he has been in the past few decades.
Therefore, a sense of urgency arose in my heart. The only right way to do this and to make myself safer was to improve my strength as quickly as possible.
