"What is it? Senior Brother Xu, you actually sent someone to make peace with that demonic snake?”In the hall, Wu Kuan raised his voice, clearly displeased.
Xu Shijie glanced at Wu Kuan and said,"It's a peace negotiation."
"What peace?" Wu Kuan sneered."It's obviously a peace treaty!" That demon snake has killed so many of our Golden Crow Sect disciples. Senior Brother Xu, you actually…actually did such a thing. It really makes me feel cold!”
A trace of anger rose on Xu Shijie's face.""Junior Martial Brother Wu, what do you think we should do about this matter? Why don't I abdicate today and let you be the Great Elder? I want to see what brilliant method Junior Martial Brother Wu has to eliminate the demon snakes in the small world!”
At this point, Xu Shijie's face became even angrier. He stood up abruptly and said,""Today, everyone doesn't need to listen to me. Just listen to Elder Wu! Elder Wu had a myriad of schemes in his mind, and he believed that he would definitely have many good ideas! All these years, I, as your senior brother, have been honored as the head elder. It's really too unfair for Elder Wu! How about this, once the sect master comes out of seclusion, I will ask the sect master to resign from this position and let Elder Wu take over the position of Great Elder!”
Xu Shijie's words were naturally sarcastic. The elders in the hall, regardless of whether they were gloomy or frank, as long as they were not idiots, they would naturally be able to understand the meaning behind his words.
For a moment, the elders in the hall fell silent.
After a while, Liang Xiaotian spoke first,""Senior Martial Brother Xu, Senior Martial Brother Wu, why are you guys fighting again? Now that the sect is in danger, everyone must work together!”
"I would like to work together with everyone, but some people just don't appreciate it!" Xu Shijie said. For example, if I let Junior Martial Brother Wu be the head of the family, he won't have any ideas. I have my own ideas, but he's standing at the side and gesticulating. He's nitpicking! Junior Brother Liang, teach me, what should I do? How can I conform to Junior Martial Brother Wu's wishes?"
Wu Kuan's face turned pale. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Liang Xiaotian sighed in his heart and said earnestly,"Senior Brother Xu, don't say such things out of anger. This is not the time for us to be angry!”
"Senior Brother Xu, since you sent your disciple to negotiate peace with the demon snake, you should have a backup plan, right?"”
Xu Shijie glanced at the other elders in the hall and said,""My plan is very simple. I want to trick the snake demon out of the small world. As long as we can lure that demonic snake out of the small world, we can control whether it lives or dies.”
Liang Xiaotian asked,"But is the snake demon willing to leave the small world?"”
"Unless it doesn't want to advance to the middle demon realm, it must want to leave the small world," Xu Shijie said.”
"But the key is, can that demon snake be deceived?”
"We'll only know after we try," Xu Shijie said. If the snake demon isn't fooled, then we'll have to think of another way.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple on duty outside the hall reported,"First Elder, Ma Biao, an elite disciple of the inner sect, requests an audience!”
"Let him in," Xu Shijie said immediately.”
This Ma Biao was precisely the gray-robed cultivator who had entered the small world to negotiate peace with Bai Hao earlier.
"How is it?" Xu Shijie asked anxiously.
When Xu Shijie asked this question, he was already looking forward to it.
Since Ma Biao had safely returned from the small world, this meant that the demon snake also wanted to leave the small world. If the demonic snake didn't want to leave the small world, it would most likely eat Ma Biao.
Ma Biao cupped his fists and bowed, replying,""Grand Elder, that demonic snake has already agreed to leave the small world.”
Xu Shijie was overjoyed when he heard that. He could not help but clap his hands and say,"It's really blessed by the heavens. This demon snake is actually so stupid.”
Hearing Ma Biao's words, the other elders in the hall also relaxed. Only Wu Kuan still had a gloomy expression on his face.
However, Ma Biao's next words greatly exceeded the expectations of the elders in the hall. They heard Ma Biao continue,"However, that demon snake is very worried about its safety after leaving the small world, so before it leaves the small world, it needs to sign a contract with our Golden Crow Sect.”
Xu Shijie frowned." This demon snake wants to sign a contract with us?" Alright, since it doesn't believe our verbal promise, we'll sign a contract with it.”
" We cultivators are not those pedantic mortals. How can we be bound by a contract?" he sneered.”
" Great Elder," Ma Biao said." What this demon snake wants to sign with us isn't an ordinary contract. It's a Heavenly Lightning Contract!"”
Xu Shijie's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as sharp as a knife.""Heavenly Lightning Contract? How did the snake demon know about the Heavenly Lightning Contract? Did you tell it?"
Under Xu Shijie's sharp gaze, Ma Biao felt a pressure as great as a mountain. He said in a trembling voice,""Great Elder, this is the first time I've heard of this Heavenly Lightning Contract. Before I went to the small world to meet that demon snake today, I had never heard of the Heavenly Lightning Contract.”
Xu Shijie's gaze lingered on Ma Biao for a while before he said,""Then how does the demon snake want to sign this Heavenly Lightning Contract with us?”
" The demon snake said that we need to prepare a blank contract of heavenly lightning," Ma Biao said." Then, we'll send 30 ninth level disciples into the small world with the blank contract of heavenly lightning. We'll use these 30 ninth level disciples to sign the contract with it. As for the contents of the contract, from the day the contract was signed, the Golden Crow Sect was not allowed to do anything detrimental to it. Once it broke the contract, the 30 disciples who had signed the contract with it would suffer heavenly punishment.”
Xu Shijie's expression turned grave when he heard this. He pondered for a while and said,"Alright, alright. When you enter the small world again, just say that we agreed to it. Tomorrow, we'll have someone bring the blank Heavenly Lightning Contract into the small world and sign it.”
After Ma Biao left the hall, Tong Sihai looked at Xu Shijie worriedly and asked,""Senior Brother Xu, are you really going to agree to the snake demon's request?”
" If you don't agree," Xu Shijie said," do you want us to send more Qi Cultivation Realm disciples to the small world to fight with that demonic snake?" That demonic snake is obviously not an ordinary demon. Its divine power is extraordinary. If we send disciples of the qi refinement realm into the small world to kill it, it's still uncertain whether we can succeed. Even if he succeeded, how many disciples would have to sacrifice their lives?”
"How could I not know what Senior Brother Xu said?" Tong Si Hai said. It's just that I'm really unwilling to let that demon snake go for nothing!”
Xu Shijie sneered,""The Heavenly Lightning Contract states that our Golden Crow Sect cannot harm him within a year, but it does not state that people outside the Golden Crow Sect cannot harm him!”
Tong Si Hai's face was slightly stunned, and then he revealed an expression of sudden realization,""You mean-"
