Qu Jianlei wanted to talk about the stone jar. Master Wu Yao was originally from the Star Palace.
But this matter has been entrusted to Huo Jiujian and Master Yulin. Asking too many people for help is not the right way to do things.
So he just reminded the other party lightly: You should hand over the weapons as soon as possible and send them back to Zhongzhou.
Jiang Hui wanted to say something else, but in the end it couldn't resist Zhongzhou's urgent needs.
Two days later, the Cultivator Alliance sent someone to inform Hongyeling that the alliance would hold a conference next month and invited them to attend.
This situation is relatively rare because Hongyeling has never sent anyone on official business to the alliance headquarters.
Not to mention the deacons and various staff, there were no one even visiting.
However, given Hongyeling's current influence, it is normal to receive such an invitation.
At present, if Dongsheng wants to do something, it will be difficult to accomplish if Hongye Ling openly opposes it.
However, Qu Jianlei did not agree to it, but just said that he would decide whether to send someone to participate based on the specific situation.
What he has always pursued is for the team to have a moderate voice in Dongsheng and a certain say.
As for intervening in the daily management of Dongsheng's affairs? He was not very interested, especially in avoiding getting deeply involved.
After all, this is not the team's final destination. If there are too many causes and effects involved, it will be difficult to extricate ourselves.
Next, he was somewhat glad of his decision, because two days later, He Jiuling came to visit him.
As a true immortal, he came to visit her too frequently on his own initiative, which felt a bit disrespectful.
But this time he really has something to do, because at the meeting next month, in addition to discussing how to deal with the demons, they will also discuss reopening the waterway.
This is the suggestion made by Zhongzhou. It is not only to maintain daily navigation, but also to significantly reduce the blocking formation.
It is not appropriate to completely close the formation, because the existence of this formation can appropriately prevent sea beasts from invading human society.
But if most of them are closed, there will be more than one waterway, and ordinary warships can also travel freely between Zhongzhou and Dongsheng.
This suggestion was put forward by Zhongzhou and has been reported to the Star Palace. It is basically impossible for it to be rejected.
However, navigation is a two-way thing. It is easy to close a waterway but difficult to open it.
At the beginning, Zhongzhou could unilaterally close the waterway, but if it wants to resume navigation now, it has to ask Dongsheng for consent.
If Dongsheng strongly objects, the fleet will never be able to land, and a forced landing will only trigger a fight!
The people of Zhongzhou also knew that it was impossible for the people of Dongsheng to completely forget the past events, and most of them were still a little angry.
But at this moment, navigation is a rigid need for Zhongzhou - the demons in Dongsheng are not making much noise, and compared with Zhongzhou, it is like a paradise.
However, the people of Zhongzhou do not admit that the opening of navigation is to avoid the demons. They emphasize that it is to better fight against the demons.
At present, Dongsheng’s resistance to the demons has been very effective, which has freed up a considerable amount of manpower and material resources, and there are also many experienced practitioners.
Perhaps some people in Dongsheng think that the local situation is still very critical, but they don’t know that it is much better than Zhongzhou.
Not only are there plenty of laser weapons here, but other materials for cultivating immortals, especially those that can defend against demons, are also readily available on the market.
In Zhongzhou, the prices of many materials have risen to sky-high levels - because the future prospects are unpredictable, many materials are deliberately hoarded.
Then there is the issue of manpower. On the Dongsheng side, although Hongyeling had sent people to deal with the demons, the situation was still relatively relaxed compared to the other two.
As for whether any cultivators in Dongsheng are willing to go to Zhongzhou to help - that depends on how the two sides negotiate.
To be objective, any problem that can be solved by spiritual stones is not a problem.
He Jiuling heard the news through internal connections and found it difficult to suppress his anger.
When he heard that Hongye Ling had also received an invitation to attend the conference, he rushed over immediately, hoping to persuade Master Qu Ling.
After listening to this, Qu Jianlei frowned and said, "So... it's going to be open to navigation?"
A problem that has not been solved for four hundred years will change overnight?
"The lives of Zhongzhou people are the most important lives," He Jiuling was full of complaints, and there was obvious selfishness in his words.
"I'm a little suspicious. If too many people from Zhongzhou come, will the demons' attention return to Dongsheng?"
"That's almost impossible," Qu Jianlei denied flatly.
He admitted that the other party was his former comrade-in-arms, and he also remembered the favor he had done when he went to Zhongzhou to help maintain order.
But isn't this excuse you gave a bit of an insult to my intelligence? "With us in Dongsheng, you can rest assured."
"I'm targeting Zhongzhou," He Jiuling did not hide his intentions, "Anyway, I'm against the opening of the route!"
His attitude was firm, but he also understood that the He family's voice was too weak.
"Most people are against the opening of the route, but the voices are too scattered. Someone needs to step up and take the lead to unite the forces."
He looked at Qu Jianlei expectantly, "If Hongyeling comes forward, everyone will be convinced."
"This..." Qu Jianlei frowned. He was really speechless. How could he become the leader of the Opposition Ridge?
He was also opposed to opening the route. He thought it was too shameless for the people of Zhongzhou to do so.
But he didn't intend to object, because some of the guys in Dongsheng were not good people.
And objectively speaking, the disagreement between Zhongzhou and Dongsheng is just that the two sides have their own positions, and he has no intention of offending Zhongzhou to death.
Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled. Why would the Cultivator Alliance invite Hongyeling to attend the meeting?
They had only participated in one Cultivator Alliance event, but that time they had to draw lots to go to the Void, so they had to participate.
It is said that the Cultivator Alliance does not hold many meetings, but it is not so rare that there is not even one meeting a year.
Based on this, Qu Jianlei can conclude that the alliance invited them to participate in the meeting because someone wanted them to be at the forefront of opposition.
After all, he had already made his attitude clear during his communication with Jiang Hui—he had some complaints about Zhongzhou's actions.
Once Hongyeling attends the meeting, even if they don't want to be the first to stand out, others will put them at that level.
If I refuse at that time, I might end up in a difficult situation.
Qu Jianlei could also imagine that although the suggestion to open the navigation was proposed by Zhongzhou, it was definitely instructed by the Star Palace.
It was the decision of the Star Palace to set up the blocking formation in the first place. Now they want to shut down the formation. Does Zhongzhou dare to act on its own without asking for permission?
He believed that he could figure out this problem, and that other forces in Dongsheng were not stupid either.
Since the matter involves the Star Palace, many people have to consider the consequences even if they want to oppose it.
This is probably the reason why Hongyeling was invited - some people felt that they were tall enough and could hold up the sky even if it collapsed.
Qu Jianlei has always been responsible for what he does. If he decides on something, he will definitely take the corresponding responsibility.
But he doesn't like being calculated against - if he has any needs, can't he just say it?
You must design a plan for me, show your wisdom, and highlight my fish lips?
So after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I just found out that Hongyeling was invited for this topic."
He Jiuling was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted. As a Nascent Soul, how many brains would he have that were not enough?
Then he nodded slowly, "So, someone wants to take advantage of you?"
"You probably think I'm a fool," Qu Jianlei said with a bitter smile, "If you have such intentions, why not go and deal with Zhongzhou?"
"That's right!" He Jiuling nodded. He was a man of temperament and didn't like being calculated against.
He said very straightforwardly, "Then there is no need for Hongyeling to take the lead. We should not tolerate their bad habits. Can't we just speak directly if there is something wrong?"
But after a pause, he spoke carefully, "You don't support the opening of air traffic, do you?"
"Am I sick?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes. "I have already decided that no one from Hongyeling will attend the meeting!"
It’s a good thing I said something helpful at the beginning.
"It's best not to go!" He Jiuling laughed when he heard this, "Hongye Ridge should be high and mighty, not caring about worldly affairs!"
"I'm afraid of heights," Qu Jianlei said casually, and then he said, "How the situation develops in the end depends on your efforts."
From his personal point of view, it makes no difference whether the navigation is open or not. Even Dongsheng’s resentment towards Zhongzhou has nothing to do with him.
He was originally an outsider, and could even understand part of the mentality of the people in Zhongzhou at that time.
Therefore, he really doesn't want to participate in this excitement. Let whoever loves him do it.
In the next two days, other people came to ask about Hongyeling's attitude towards navigation.
However, the feedback from Hongye Ridge was: Master Qu Ling is in seclusion, and we are not aware of the relevant situation.
At the same time, Qu Jianlei came to Liuguang City again and informed Qinghu of the news that Mu Yu had successfully condensed her infant.
The next day, Immortal Yongheng came over. He also heard that the Star Palace intended to close the barrier formation.
In fact, the opening and closing of the barrier array has little impact on the Five Friends Alliance. Their most profitable business is still ordinary business.
But what Zhenxian Yongheng thought was that if the waterway could really be opened, it would be necessary to prepare a few more ocean-going warships.
With the protection of Hongye Ridge, we can do transportation if we can. If not, we can make a lot of money by reselling. It is nice to have a big tree to provide shade.
"Do you think it can work?" Qu Jianlei wanted to test the other party's eyesight.
"The possibility is very small," Immortal Yongheng answered honestly, "Even if no one in Zhongzhou escapes at the beginning, what will happen over time?"
"That's the truth," Qu Jianlei nodded with a smile, "You don't think that the Dongsheng cultivators can't even think of this, do you?"
It doesn’t matter what promises Zhongzhou has made to Dongsheng at present. What matters is that this head should not be made rashly.
Once things start, it will take a lot of effort to control the development of the situation.
"If that's the case, then forget it." Immortal Yongheng also knew how to make choices. "By the way, did you sell a lot of weapons to the Xingchen Palace?"
The Five Friends Alliance is well-informed, and the goods should still be on the way.
"We really have to give them face, fellow Daoist, please understand," Qu Jianlei said helplessly, "but our delivery capacity is limited."
"What is there that I cannot understand?" Immortal Yongheng smiled upon hearing this, "City Lord Huo is very happy."
