Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 756: Chapter 90: Bring Back Alliance Leader Wei!

Wei Dongliu was somewhat embarrassed, unaware that Wen Yang was also secretly cursing inside.

Of course, the curses weren’t directed at Brother Wei, but rather at the Great Reverend Master of the Asura Path, Mokong, and the casual way the Nether Ghost Path’s Fu Xie Sect Leader was ordering her around.

It was clearly that blabbermouth monk who had offended Great Alliance Leader Wei, so why on earth do I have to be the one to mend relations?

However, Wei Dongliu decisively left the scene, not giving that Reverend Master Mokong any face, which made Wen Yang, whose anger was nearly at its peak, secretly thrilled as well.

So, she just continued to hold onto Wei Dongliu’s arm and persuasively said in a gentle voice:

“The Asura Path has long resided beyond the borders, and their rudeness and barbarity are not surprising.”

...

“Now that the Six Paths have gathered in the hall to discuss matters, even if Reverend Master Mokong is rude, Brother Wei, as the Alliance Hierarch, should also forgive his mistakes and not take them too much to heart.”

“Hmph,” Wei Dongliu assumed an air of importance and said indifferently, “It’s not that I don’t know the gravity of the situation, it’s just shameful to work in the same hall as such ignorant mortals!”

Wen Yang could see that he was putting on an act and had no choice but to get closer, starting to play the beauty card, and said with a coy laugh:

“Precisely because the Asura Path doesn’t know any better, when Kunlun surrounds Iron City Mountain, just as you predicted, we can join forces and give them a good squeeze, right?”

As she drew near, Wei Dongliu could smell a faint fragrance of exotic flowers and grasses coming from her.

So, Wen Yang has not only gotten used to dressing up as a woman, but now she’s actually started wearing perfume too?

That’s outrageous! Where is the Brother Wen I used to know?

Wake up, your soul is originally male!

“If that’s the case,” Wei Dongliu suppressed his restless heart and sighed, “then I will…”

“What are you two doing?” A voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Both of them turned their heads to look, and saw Jiang Lian standing at the entrance to the courtyard, looking over with an unfriendly, mocking expression.

Wen Yang immediately stepped back half a step and distanced herself from Wei Dongliu, smiling and saying:

“Brother Jiang arrives at just the right time, come and help me persuade Alliance Leader Wei.”

“Just now, during the discussion, Reverend Master Mokong of the Asura Path spoke arrogantly and offended Alliance Leader Wei quite a bit, and now I am persuading him!”

Jiang Lian narrowed her eyes and silently scanned the opposite party with the Heavenly Demon Great Law, and combining this with the report her sister had brought earlier, she confirmed that what Wen Yang said was indeed true.

Of course, there was also the intention to seduce Wei Dongliu, but it was not out of love. It was simply to persuade him to return.

Thinking about this, the Miss Heavenly Demon retracted her fangs—after all, even though she didn’t stick to the Human Race’s etiquette and didn’t forbid Wei Dongliu from having multiple wives and concubines, the premise was that he had to fulfill his duties as a husband, informing her beforehand and getting her consent.

If Wei Dongliu truly had a secret meeting with Wen Yang behind her back, it would have gone beyond the affection due between husband and wife, and Jiang Lian was no longer willing to continue playing this game with him.

First, she would cleanly devour Wen Yang, then destroy Wei Dongliu’s flesh, capture his soul, and bring it to the Great Unrestrained Heaven for a proper education, until he became a servant soul completely obedient to her, then keep him by her side for her amusement… Hmm, that also seemed like a decent plan.

But upon further thought, Jiang Lian still preferred Wei Dongliu to not know her Heavenly Demon identity, so she covered her mouth and chuckled:

“I thought it was something serious! My husband, it’s only a bald monk’s rantings, why bother with him at all?”

“My lady is unaware,” Wei Dongliu said with a cold laugh, “as the Six Paths Alliance Leader, how could I allow anyone to offend me lightly? Otherwise, where would the Alliance Leader’s majesty be? It’s only because that Ascendant from the Asura Path is a Great Reverend Master, and I do not wish to be at odds with an ally. If it were anyone else, I would have already flayed them, extracted their tendons, and seized their soul and spirit.”

Jiang the Witch liked the latter half of what he said, so she laughed and said:

“Excellent idea. However, husband, although you have saved the monk’s face, if you stay away too long, it will still damage the reputation of the Six Paths.”

“Since Brother Wen has also come on behalf of the Nether Ghost Path to make peace, husband should not ignore the Asura Path, and for the sake of the Nether Ghost Path’s reputation, let’s return and settle the matter first.”

Jiang Lian truly deserved to be called a Heavenly Demon, as she instantly saw through the real reason Wei Dongliu left:

As the Six Paths Alliance Leader, the Ascendant dares to disrespect me; I definitely cannot swallow this insult silently, or else the Alliance Leader’s majesty is gone.

But a Golden Core cannot defeat a Nascent Soul, and the Ascendant is also a Great Reverend Master of the Asura Path, so I cannot directly punish him. Therefore, I can only leave decisively, giving him the cold shoulder.

As long as the Nether Ghost Path comes to mediate, Wei Dongliu will naturally return.

In the eyes of those present, it seemed that the Nether Ghost Path still fully supported Wei Dongliu, and this way, the Alliance Leader’s prestige could be somewhat mended… If it had been Wen Yang persuading, rather than Sect Leader Fu Xie personally coming to request, would Wei Dongliu still need to put on airs? He’d have gone back right away, right?

Understanding the hint, Wen Yang immediately smiled and said:

“Alliance Leader Wei, our Sect Leader Fu Xie also said, this conference can’t go on without you! He urged me repeatedly to bring you back, so could you please do me… do your little sister this favor?”

Wei Dongliu snorted coldly, then slowly turned around with his hands behind his back and walked back.

Upon returning to the main hall, he found that all the sect representatives were sitting in their places. Seeing that Alliance Leader Wei had finally returned, they all immediately showed expressions of joy.

The reason was quite simple:

The harvest from this battlefield was divided into two parts: one was how many resource points were conquered, and the other was how many resources were plundered.

Since these resource points were agreed in advance to be transferred to the Nether Ghost Path for management after the battle, Sect Leader Fu Xie was most concerned about the former; while other sects were too far from the Guanzhong Area, so they cared more about the latter, that is, how much money everyone could share.

Sect Leader Fu Xie just now was going on and on, talking about how many mines, medicinal gardens, and estates they had seized… Who wanted to know that, really?

When it came to asking about the exact number of resources harvested, it was return to silence for Sect Leader Fu Xie.

The tactics were set by Wei Dongliu, and he was also in charge of post-battle extraction. The Nether Ghost Path was only responsible for contributing manpower and funds, then regularly verifying the results of the battle. For domains not in the interests of the Nether Ghost Path, Sect Leader Fu Xie would not inquire too closely.

Communicating like this among the attendees, they found that they had to wait for Wei Dongliu to come back; otherwise, everyone was totally clueless about the harvest thus far. How would that be acceptable?

Wei Dongliu returned to the hall and couldn’t bother to look at the Asura Path Ascendant’s face, but simply strode back to the Alliance Leader’s seat, then briefly reported on the progress of the war.

Upon hearing that most of Guanzhong had fallen into the hands of the Six Paths and hearing the specific numbers of resources plundered, the various sects all showed delight.

Even if starting today a truce with Kunlun was established, the gains up to this point were no less than those from the previous siege of Penglai.

By absorbing these benefits and then returning to incubate for a few hundred years, their sect’s power was sure to meet a new surge of growth!

“In summary,” Wei Dongliu concluded, looking around at everyone, “we must continue to expand the harvesting of benefits; this war must go on! Do you have any objections?”

“Not at all,” responded the Heavenly Demon Path, Nether Ghost Path, Eastern Emperor Path, and others in succession.

As for the Asura Path’s Ascendant, he naturally wouldn’t speak up again to offend so many sects, just silently sneered without a word.
