1034 All Parties Are Here, but Chu Yunfan Is Missing?
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and news of this negotiation meeting spread throughout the Holy Land.
All the forces waited eagerly for the outcome as it would determine the Holy Land’s future.
What everyone was paying attention to, other than the outcome of the meeting, was whether Chu Yunfan—the current representative of the Federation—would dare to appear.
After all, everyone knew that the Wei clan had a blood feud with Chu Yunfan, so how could they really be willing to invite Chu Yunfan to participate in the negotiation?
Anyone with the slightest intelligence would understand that the Wei clan and the other anti-Federation forces had probably prepared an inescapable net for Chu Yunfan.
Since they could all see it, there was no reason that Chu Yunfan couldn’t. So whether he would appear or not was naturally a mystery.
The Holy Mountain was located in the center of the Holy Land and stretched for thousands of miles. The peaks of the mountain reached into the sky, and the strange trees covered the sky.
On this day, the leaders of the Holy Land’s forces gathered there. At the foot of the mountain, a huge area had been arranged for the various forces to rest.
On the peak, there was a large area that was thought to have been flattened. The leaders of various great sects and aristocratic families had gathered on the peak.
Powerhouses from all sides gathered and looked from afar. If one looked at it with the aura observation technique, one could see terrifying waves of qi and blood shake the air.
Among these experts, the weakest were in the lower levels of the Divine Abilities Stage. Innates were not qualified to participate in such a discussion.
This time, the forces participating were the combined forces of the entire Holy Land, and there were actually hundreds of Divines. The strength of the Holy Land’s foundation when they truly worked together was staggering.
Although there might only be one or two in each force on average and the stronger forces like the six superpowers having more, their numbers were still terrifying. It was not something that the current Federation could compare to.
The number of Divines was enough to crush the Federation. This was the fundamental reason why the Holy Land was confident in suppressing the Federation despite knowing that the Federation had various high-tech and sophisticated weapons.
However, at this moment, hundreds of Divines were silent. Some of them even looked pale.
They had already been waiting here for an entire day, but the person they were waiting for, Chu Yunfan, had yet to appear.
For many people, this was undoubtedly a very regretful result, even though some people had bad intentions and hoped that Chu Yunfan would come to die.
But seeing that it didn’t seem like he was going to show up, they started cursing in their hearts.
Many people knew that there was an inescapable net prepared here. If it were them, they too would not have come to die.
In the center of the crowd, there were six figures sitting on thrones. Their thrones were higher up than the thrones of ordinary Divines.
Everyone was not surprised by this, because these six people could be said to be the true rulers of the entire Holy Land.
They were the leaders of the Wei clan, Hellfire, Green Loti, Infinity Camp, Moonfall, and Longevity Faith.
“Chu Yunfan’s words were so impassioned, but he’s just a coward!” Clan Leader Wei slammed the armrest of his throne.
His expression was extremely unsightly. He had carefully prepared an inescapable net for Chu Yunfan, but the target did not appear. This was equivalent to a punch landing on cotton, and it was really uncomfortable.
However, everyone present had an expression of being used to this. If someone knew that they were here to die, would they still came to die? Was that a true hero?
“That’s right. I thought he had some courage, but now it seems that he’s just so-so.”
A figure on the left of Clan Leader Wei spoke.
This figure was an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. This old man looked extremely astonishing, and his hair and beard were made up of balls of flames.
These flames burned fiercely on the surface of his body, but they didn’t hurt him in the slightest.
Everyone knew that this was the leader of the Hellfire Faction of the Holy Land, the Hellfire King, who had made countless children stop crying.
In the Holy Lands, Hellfire had always been tyrannical and ruthless, killing people like flies. They cultivated demonic techniques, and the Hellfire King’s demonic techniques were earth-shaking.
“It doesn’t matter. Now that the teleportation array is in our hands, we can search for him without restraint after the negotiation is over. He can’t run away. If we join forces, even the gods of the great all-embracing Heaven will die.”
On the right side of Clan Leader Wei, another middle-aged man spoke. He was dressed in green and looked ordinary, but his tyrannical sword energy was extremely terrifying.
This was the sect leader of the Green Lotus Sect, which was a sect that focused on sword cultivation.
Beside him was a graceful middle-aged woman. She was dressed in a moon-white robe and had an unfathomable aura that could not be underestimated.
Everyone knew that this was the sect leader of Moonfall House.
Next to the sect leader of Moonfall was a middle-aged man in a magnificent robe. He had an aura of the boundless nature, which allowed him to fight against the few of them without being at a disadvantage. He was the sect leader of Infinity Camp.
Beside the sect leader of Infinity Camp was a well-built old man. He had white hair and a ruddy complexion. He looked energetic and his qi and blood were equally exuberant. He was the sect leader of Longevity Faith, the last of the six superpowers.
“Since Chu Yunfan hasn’t appeared, we’ll process with the negotiation on our own. There’s no need to wait for him,” Longevity Faith’s sect leader continued.
“That’s right. Whether he comes or not is a small matter. The important thing is how the Holy Land will mvoe forward,” Moonfall’s sect leader said.
Everyone agreed and put Chu Yunfan aside.
However, even on the third day of the negotiation, there was still no sign of Chu Yunfan. Not even his shadow could be seen.
Everyone naturally came to the same conclusion, and that was that Chu Yunfan definitely wouldn’t dare to show up. After all, in this situation where he clearly knew that there were tigers on the mountain, if he decided to appear in the tiger den, it would be extraordinary.
Although they knew that Chu Yunfan didn’t want to fall into a trap, all kinds of rumors against the Federation spread out.
Chu Yunfan didn’t even dare to show up, so how could he represent the Federation to negotiate with them? There was only one way now, and that was to defeat the Federation. Only then could they take over the Federation.
Given the massive size of the Federation, it would not be easy to make it submit. It would require the cooperation of various forces of the Holy Land.
The forces that had originally been inclined to a peaceful resolution and co-prosper with the Federation naturally couldn’t talk about it when Chu Yunfan himself didn’t appear.
For a time, the entire atmosphere seemed to be moving in one direction—to take over the Federation.
After Chu Yunfan’s no-show, the eyes of the Holy Land’s various parties shifted from Chu Yunfan to each other. They argued about who would move first, who would send troops to attack the Federation, and the proportion of combat power each party had to bear. No one was willing to lose. Even within the six superpowers, they were in a deadlock and neither side was willing to give in.
