Chapter 1794: Chapter 1814: How about, I mediate for you guys?_1

Xi Junshan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

It was clear that Meng Shuyu came from Qinglong Palace and had the authority to negotiate this time. Her calm eyes showed that her words were not empty threats.

Meng Ke’s grandfather was the clan chief, which gave them an advantage in negotiations. However, his status as a clan chief also meant that he couldn’t completely bow down.

Dragon Clan’s dignity had to be maintained!

Xi Junshan said in a deep voice, "What are Qinglong Palace’s intentions?"

Meng Shuyu answered calmly, "Exchange of all hostages on both sides, plus as Meng Ke’s aunt I can personally pay a ransom to redeem him."

"The spirit vein is currently in our Dragon Clan’s hands and we have no reason to hand it over. As for the compensation for killing someone, we don’t accept it. Dragon clan and Human clan have been engaged in constant warfare for years, we don’t need reasons to attack our enemies or compensate for killing them."

Xi Junshan angrily said, "We discovered the spirit vein, you took it, so now it’s just yours? You don’t want to negotiate anymore, do you think we don’t dare to kill?"

Meng Panshi laughed coldly, "Don’t forget, you have eighteen people in our hands. These are all disciples that your sect values highly. They represent the future of your sect."

Xi Junshan coldly replied, "Dragon Clan has its own dignity, just as Human Clan does, and the Hundred Calamities Sect does too. If you truly don’t want to negotiate, then we won’t."

"We have Meng Ke, Meng Yan and more than ten Golden Immortal guards in our hands. This weight is no less than your Hundred Calamities Sect disciples in your hands. On the contrary, we even have an advantage. If we must kill, then let’s kill together. After everyone is dead, we will fight to the death again. After all, we’ve been fighting for tens of thousands of years, it doesn’t matter if we fight for another ten thousand."

Meng Panshi declared sternly, "Let’s do it then, we will destroy the Hundred Calamities Sect first!"

Xi Junshan laughed out loud, "If our Hundred Calamities Sect was so easily destroyed, it wouldn’t exist anymore. Do you really need to make such threats? You’ve fought with us before, and yet we are still alive and well."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both sides were ready to fight, and for a moment, both were unwilling to back down as they wanted to seize control of the spirit vein.

Lin Chen thought for a moment, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Negotiations require both parties to show sincerity. Otherwise, if we break up in discord and all hostages die, leading to a new round of warfare, death and injury everywhere, is that what you want?"

The lady in blue clothes looked at Lin Chen and frowned but said nothing.

Meng Panshi snorted coldly, "You only ask us to back down, why doesn’t your Hundred Calamities Sect back down?"

Lin Chen took out the Immortal Palace Order and smiled, "I am Lin Chen, an envoy of the Immortal Palace, not a disciple of the Hundred Calamities Sect."

Meng Shuyu and Meng Panshi’s faces both slightly changed.

Envoy of the Immortal Palace!

Why did the Immortal Palace get involved in this matter?

Although the Dragon Clan always disregarded the Immortal Palace, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t fear the Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace is the master of the Immortal Realm after all!

Meng Panshi coldly said, "What? Does the Immortal Palace also want to meddle in our Dragon Clan’s affairs?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Chief Meng, don’t misunderstand. I came here to investigate the Heavenly Dao Alliance. I just happened to hear some news about a collaboration between the Heavenly Dao Alliance and your Dragon Clan, so I came to investigate."

"The Dragon Clan has always been independent and outside the spectrum, which the Immortal Palace is naturally aware of. Now that I have revealed my identity, I just want to mediate for both parties. After all, if neither side is willing to back down, what will the result be?"

"Making threats, tearing up faces, is indeed domineering and refreshing, but does it truly solve the problem? You occupy the spirit vein, but can you really cultivate in peace? The Hundred Calamities Sect can’t get the spirit vein, will you be able to cultivate on it without guilt?"

Lin Chen didn’t mention anything about Brother Bai’s affair. If he did, it might add an extra variable.

Meng Shuyu calmly asked, "Then what is your opinion?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Firstly, both sides should exchange all hostages."

Everyone remained silent, waiting quietly.

"Secondly, the location of the spirit vein is in the middle of the territories of both forces. That is to say, it doesn’t belong to Dragon Clan or Human Clan. So, I suggest that they jointly guard it, establish relevant rules, and use it together."

"Since the Hundred Calamities Sect discovered the spirit vein, they should have certain advantages in its use. For example, if a cultivation array can accommodate a hundred people, the proportion of people from Hundred Calamities Sect can be slightly higher, like sixty people, making up sixty percent."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from both sides fell into contemplation.

Cultivating together?

Lin Chen’s previous words hit home for both sides. Whether it was Rock Tribe or Hundred Calamities Sect, it was impossible to occupy the spirit vein and cultivate in peace.

It’s easier to destroy than to construct. If I can’t have it, then I’ll destroy it.

That’s easy enough, isn’t it?

Can you defend against me?

In short, if I can’t live well, you won’t either.

No one should cultivate here!

Under these circumstances, if both sides could put down their previous hostility and jointly develop for cultivation, compared to the situation where no one benefits, this would not be unacceptable.

Seeing the reactions of both sides, Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

There’s hope!
