Tang Xiao took a few steps forward and supported Tang Hao, who was retreating in anger. He patted his shoulder and pulled him behind him.

Tang Xiao pondered and said, “Pope, please don’t put such a big accusation on us. Our Haotian Sect cannot bear it. I have met Ah Yin, she is an extremely gentle woman.”

“You want to bring up the past, but we haven’t said it yet. Back then, you attacked the Haotian Sect, angered my father to death, and killed many people from the sect. How should we account for that?”

Qian Daoliu said coldly: “I have already given you some leniency at the beginning. For the sake of your grandfather, I have been very restrained.”

The situation was at a stalemate for a while, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became tense.

Seeing this, Lin Fan sighed inwardly, knowing that if this continued, the negotiations would take who knows how long, possibly even ten days or half a month.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for me. Who knows if Poseidon of Poseidon Island will change his mind.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a steady tone: “Everyone, we are gathered here today not to bring up old issues, but to find a solution that both parties can accept.”

“The grudges of the past cannot be changed, but what path to take in the future is what we need to discuss today.”

Qian Daoliu glanced at Lin Fan coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: “It’s easy for you to say that. It’s an indisputable fact that Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji. It was because he colluded with the 100,000-year soul beast that all this happened.”

Lin Fan felt a headache after hearing this. Without saying a word, he returned to the starting point.

If this goes on and on, how can the negotiations be successfully completed?

Lin Fan couldn’t help but secretly think about how to quickly complete the negotiation solution.

“As expected, Tang Hao still has to make some sacrifices.”

Lin Fan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, knowing that if he continued to argue like this, the negotiations would only fall into an endless cycle.

He glanced at Tang Hao and saw that his face was livid, and it was obvious that the anger in his heart had not yet subsided.

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong also maintained a very tough attitude, with no intention of backing down.

Lin Fan took a step forward and said calmly, “Senior Qian Daoliu, Your Holiness the Pope, since both sides insist on their own opinions and cannot reach a consensus, why don’t we each take a step back? Otherwise, the longer this negotiation lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for both sides.”

Bibi Dong chuckled and said in a cold tone: “Lin Fan, you were the one who proposed the negotiation, and you were the one who caused the trouble. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Our conditions will not change, and Tang Hao must stand trial.”

“Otherwise, we will tell the truth to the world, and then the Haotian Sect will become the human traitor who colluded with the soul beasts and will be hunted down by everyone.”

“I believe that with the Spirit Hall’s voice on the continent, people in the world will only believe what the Spirit Hall says.”

Tang Xiao replied to Bibi Dong coldly, “Are you kidding me? I admit that the Spirit Hall used to be very united, but in recent years your Spirit Hall has been acting overbearingly, and there are many people who don’t accept it. For example, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect.”

“There are two other empires. I’m afraid they are also hoping that the Spirit Hall will collapse.”

“Once the war starts, you, the Spirit Hall, won’t be able to bear it.”

Hearing this, Bibi Dong slowly stood up, accompanied by a sense of pressure, and said coldly: “Then give it a try.”

Seeing this, Lin Fan walked between the two of them, shook his head helplessly and said, “Everyone, today’s negotiations have reached a deadlock, and there will be no results if we continue. Why don’t we adjourn for the time being and talk again tomorrow.”

Bibi Dong sat down and said coldly: “Please do as you wish, but our conditions will not change. Tang Hao must accept the trial of the Spirit Hall.”

“Show the guest out!” “Please come in.” Ju Douluo walked over and said.

Lin Fan took a deep look at Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, then left the meeting room with Tang Xiao and others.

After walking out of the hall, Tang Hao’s face was still ashen and his fists were clenched tightly. It was obvious that the anger in his heart had not subsided yet.

Tang Xiao patted his shoulder and whispered, “Brother Hao, calm down. Now is not the time to act impulsively.”

The Second Elder sighed and said with emotion: “The Spirit Hall’s toughness is beyond our expectations. If we continue to talk like this, I’m afraid we won’t get any results in ten days or half a month.”

The Fifth Elder frowned and said worriedly, “If it’s just a delay, it’s fine. I’m worried that the Spirit Hall is deliberately delaying and secretly mobilizing experts to attack our Haotian Sect.”

Tang Xiao nodded and said in a deep voice: “It’s not impossible. The Spirit Hall controls many spirit masters. If they really attack the sect secretly, the Seventh Elder and his men won’t be able to resist for long. We must find a solution as soon as possible and can’t just sit there and wait for death.”

Lin Fan looked at everyone and said in a calm tone, “Everyone, go back to the hotel first and think about how to negotiate next. If we can find a way to make Spirit Hall back down, there may be a chance for things to turn around.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, then walked out of the Spirit Hall with a thoughtful look on their faces.

Just as they walked out of the Spirit Hall gate, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen and Jian Douluo, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet them.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and asked in a gentle tone: “From your appearance, I guess the negotiation is not going smoothly. What are the conditions of the Spirit Hall?”

Tang Xiao shook his head helplessly and replied, “It’s indeed not ideal. The Spirit Hall asked Tang Hao to kneel in front of the angel statue and accept their judgment. Their attitude was very tough and they showed no intention of giving in.”

Yu Yuanzhen frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, “It seems that Spirit Hall has no intention of negotiating at all. They might want to take this opportunity to completely suppress the Haotian Sect, and may even be secretly preparing to attack our other sects. We have to be on guard.”

Sword Douluo Chen Xin snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: “The Spirit Hall has been acting more and more domineeringly over the years. If they succeed, I’m afraid the forces of the entire continent will be suppressed.”

Lin Fan nodded and whispered, “This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to a hotel. Walls have ears.”

Then Lin Fan and others found a hotel far away from the center of the Spirit Hall.

The conversation lasted until dinner time, and no reason could be found for the Spirit Hall to back down.

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, “Now we have to prepare for the worst. If we can unite with others and form an anti-Spirit Hall alliance, perhaps we can force them to back down.”

Lin Fan shook his head and said, “It hasn’t come to that yet. After all, as you said, the mainland will fall into long-term turmoil.”

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Tang Xiao stood up and said, “Everyone, it’s getting late, let’s take a night’s rest.”

Lin Fan returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated to adjust his mental state.

At three quarters after noon, Lin Fan woke up from his meditation, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

“It seems that I should talk to Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong separately.”

Lin Fan left the hotel through the window and soon arrived above the Spirit Hall and found Bibi Dong.

“Lin Fan, you dare to come here alone.” Bibi Dong, wearing a purple silk dress, said indifferently. (End of this chapter)
