Chapter 306 Forced
“The leader is not here today. No matter how much we argue, there will be no result.”

“In my opinion, it’s better for both sides to take a step back.”

Then, Elder Wen took the lead in looking at Yang Yifang.
“Elder Yang, you have to promise me first to put this matter aside for now and discuss the real business first!”

“Just do as you say, brother!”

Yang Yifang said readily.

In the current situation, no matter how much noise there is, it will not shake Wang Quan’s position as the leader of the alliance, so it is better to go with the flow.

Elder Wen nodded, then turned to look at Butler Fei beside him.
“Brother Yang has already agreed, and the Wang Quan family must also come up with a charter and agree on a date.”

“It’s not a good thing for a dignified leader of the Taoist Alliance to stay away from people all the time!”

Butler Fei sighed.
“Well, although my master is ill, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to preside over a meeting.”

“I will give you an answer after I consult with the master.”

Both sides agreed to put the dispute aside.

Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly. Even though he looked down on the Wang Quan family, he didn’t want to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

In this Qidao Alliance, the Wang Quan family has always been a behemoth, and one must not be impatient to shake its position.

The meeting started off normally.

“The first thing to do at this conference is to discuss the follow-up matters of the Newcomers’ Martial Arts Competition.”

Butler Fei spoke.

“The phantom stones of the martial arts competition have been sent to the Dao League headquarters. Later, please watch them together and select the talents who can be cultivated and grant them corresponding official positions!”

“That’s right. Now that the Dao Alliance Newcomers’ Martial Arts Competition is over, it’s time to decide on the specific official positions for these newcomers.”

Yang Yifang nodded in agreement.

“There has been no news for several days, the little ones must be getting impatient.”

Butler Fei clapped his hands, and a disciple of the Taoist Alliance came forward and placed a phantom stone on a wooden frame.

As the mana was infused and activated, a ray of light projected out from the phantom stone and shone onto the screen.

Light clips appear in it.

…………

“Which sect is the best for spiritual cultivation? Look for Dongfang at Shenhuoshan Villa!”

“Want to learn powerful spells but have no way to do it? Don’t worry, come to our Shenhuoshan Villa.”

“Want to refine a powerful magic weapon but don’t have the materials? Don’t be afraid, come to our Shenhuoshan Villa.”

“You can get magic spells as soon as you enter, and pure Yangyan is given for free!!!”

“It is a great place to practice and seek the truth with the guidance of famous teachers, excellent environment and many magical tools.”

“Come to Shenhuoshan Villa, you will be the next champion of the Newcomer Martial Arts Competition.”

“Defeating the second generation of evil youngsters, marrying a lady from a noble family, and reaching the pinnacle of life, none of these are a problem!”

“What are you waiting for? Come to Shenhuoshan Villa and sign up!”

………………

The first thing that appears on the screen is the scene of Jin Renfeng advertising.

A long, exaggerated and weird advertising slogan was released, instantly causing laughter from all the elders.

Looking at his own disciple performing tricks on the ring like a monkey, Dongfang Guyue’s face instantly darkened.

“This person is Jin Renfeng, the first place winner of the Newcomer Martial Arts Competition, and also a top disciple of Shenhuoshan Villa!”

Butler Fei introduced.

“This is the first time in all these years that I’ve seen such a funny kid!”

One of the elders laughed out loud.

“Which sect is the best for spiritual practice? Shenhuoshan Manor should go to Dongfang. It’s amazing that he could come up with such a plan.”

“But these advertising slogans are indeed novel. Beat up the second-generation evil young man, marry a lady from a noble family, and reach the pinnacle of life. Seeing this makes me want to go to Shenhuoshan Villa to become his disciple!”

Some elders also made jokes.

“You are already in your seventies or eighties, what’s the point of marrying a lady from a wealthy family? Those ladies from wealthy families are already your granddaughters, and you are still thinking about them, you old fool.”

“This is just a metaphor…”

Dongfang Guyue covered his forehead. Although it was he who ordered this disciple to promote the villa.

But he never expected that his eldest disciple would promote the villa in this way.

Being so humble and engaging in such fancy publicity is simply like begging for apprenticeship.

He is a powerful demon king. Does he need to beg others to become his disciple?
“This traitor!”

Dongfang Gu Yue cursed inwardly.

“When I get back, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson!”

“Dongfang Guyue, your Shenhuoshan Manor is in such a predicament that even recruiting disciples requires them to perform for money. Yet you dare to speak nonsense here and interfere in the affairs of the Dao League. You are too shameless!”

Xiao Wancheng showed a sarcastic look on his face.
“In my opinion, you should go back and take good care of your little piece of land! Don’t let it suddenly collapse one day and you won’t even have a place to stay!”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Dazhuangzhuang, no matter how bad my Shenhuoshan Manor is, it will fall behind your Xiao family.”

Dongfang Guyue said with a straight face.

“You are really good at talking, as the saying goes, like master, like apprentice. I guess your apprentice learned this careless attitude from you!”

Xiao Wancheng retorted, squinting his narrow eyes and sneering.

“My disciple is indeed extremely stubborn and unruly, and cannot be brought up!”

Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly.
“But no matter how naughty he is, he can still cut off your Soul-Calling Whip!”

Seeing that the other party used the soul-calling whip as a raft, Xiao Wancheng said angrily,
“Your useless disciple just happened to take advantage of an opportunity. If I were the one holding the Soul-Calling Whip, he wouldn’t dare to offend me even if he had the guts.”

Upon hearing this, the elders couldn’t help but shook their heads.

As an elder, he is going to compete with a junior. Even if he wins, he will lose face.

“Waste disciple? If my disciple is waste, then what is your son?”

Dongfang Gu Yue questioned in return.

When Xiao Wancheng reacted, his sarcastic face turned blue.

Dongfang Guyue snorted coldly.

“He was in charge of the magic weapon of the Great Demon King, but he was no match for a young man who had entered the Dao for a year and was holding an ordinary magic weapon. He also caused the destruction of the magic weapon inherited from his family. He is simply a shame for the Dao Alliance.”

“If my apprentice is a waste, then your son is the waste among the wastes.”

“If it were me, I would have found a place to bury him long ago to clear the family turf and avoid embarrassment in the future!”

“Dongfang Guyue, stop talking nonsense.”

Seeing his enemy insulting his son, Xiao Wancheng was furious.

“It’s none of your business to tell my son what to do!”

“Then you better shut your fucking mouth.”

Dongfang Guyue slammed the table and shouted angrily,
“I don’t want to hear you criticize my disciple anymore!”

The two were on edge and confronted each other.

“You two should calm down for now!”

Butler Fei said,
“The meeting is still going on, but this is not the time to quarrel.”

Seeing that Butler Fei had spoken, Xiao Wancheng could only suppress his anger.

Dongfang Guyue showed a look of regret. He had originally wanted to provoke Xiao Wancheng into taking action so that he could take the opportunity to give him a hard time.

But he didn’t expect that his good thing would be interrupted by Fatty Fei.

Butler Fei glanced at Xiao Wancheng and shook his head helplessly.

No matter what, that boy from another family cut off the lifeline of the Xiao family and trampled the Xiao family under his feet.

When you are not as skilled as others, insulting them is equivalent to insulting yourself.

The lower the boy from another family is trampled upon, the lower the Xiao family will be.

Right now, the best way to deal with it is to turn a blind eye to it, so as to preserve the face of the family.

“This Xiao Wancheng can’t even see this clearly. I really don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse that the master wants me to protect him!” Butler Fei thought to himself.

“In my opinion, Shenhuoshan Villa has just been established and is short of manpower. It is normal for Brother Gu Yue to be a little anxious, but it is inappropriate to make teasing remarks.”

The old lady of the Qing family tried to smooth things over.

“I think Junior Brother Renfeng is very lively. Although his actions are unexpected, they go straight to the point.”

The head of the Yang family laughed.

“If this illusion stone is distributed, Shenhuoshan Villa will no longer have to worry about the source of recruiting disciples in the future.”

“Then I’ll borrow Brother Yang’s good words!”

Dongfang Guyue’s expression relaxed a little and he spoke.

“Everyone, now it’s our turn to decide what kind of reward to give to this disciple!”

Butler Fei reminded.

“In this conference, Junior Brother won first place, and he should have been the city lord. But he took the initiative to refuse.”

The head of the Li family said,
“I think Brother Gu Yue has already made arrangements. We don’t need to do anything unnecessary.”

“reject?”

Butler Fei frowned.
“It’s a bit inappropriate.”

“Fatty Fei, this is how it has always been for newcomers. If your sect has something else to do, you can just refuse to take on the role.”

Dongfang Guyue said with a bad look,
“Why is it inappropriate when it comes to my disciple?”

“Master Dongfang doesn’t know!”

Butler Fei said calmly,

“Before this conference, a great demon king in the south led his army to invade the border. In just a few days, he had already captured several cities.”

“This conference is also to discuss the dispatch of troops.”

“The Great Demon King Kou Bian?”

Dongfang Guyue’s expression was stern.
“How come I don’t know?”

His Shenhuoshan Manor guards the southeastern area, which is quite close to the south. If there is an invasion by a great demon king, he should not be completely unaware of it.

“It happened suddenly, and I only found out about it not long ago.”

Butler Fei explained,

“I guess the news hasn’t reached Shenhuoshan Villa yet.”

“But I think Elder Yang and Elder Li should have heard of it.”

“Indeed! I just received the news as well.”

Yang Yifang nodded.

Dongfang Gu Yue frowned. Compared with these noble families with many informants, Shenhuoshan Villa had a huge gap in intelligence gathering.

“The Dao Alliance lost a lot of talented people in this war, and now we are in urgent need of manpower.”

Butler Fei continued,

“Therefore, the leader has issued an order to recruit the winners of this newcomer competition to go to the south and give them official positions while filling the vacancies.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Gu Yue’s face showed a look of sudden realization.

It turned out that he knew that assassination would not work, so he started to attack his disciples openly.

This is preparing to send the human phoenix to the battlefield and then control it at will!

“I disagree!”

Dongfang Guyue said loudly,
“The people selected in the Rookie Martial Arts Competition are all the best talents in the Dao Alliance. How can they be sent directly to the battlefield like this?”

“Master Dongfang, I know you care about your disciples, but you can’t be too protective of them.”

Butler Fei shook his head and said calmly,

“You know, our Wang Quan family is ready to send even Han Feng to the battlefield.”

“In such an emergency, Brother Gu Yue shouldn’t show favoritism.”

Dongfang Guyue’s face turned pale.

Han Feng was just a servant in Wang Quan’s family. But Jin Renfeng was his successor. They were both disciples from other families, but their identities were completely different. How could they be generalized?

“My Wen family doesn’t agree either!”

At this time, the head of the Wen family also interrupted and said,

“My kid is weak and dissolute. He will only cause trouble on the battlefield. It’s better to let him stay at home.”

With the support of the head of the Wen family, the opposing party gained more strength, forming a two-to-one situation and gaining the upper hand.

“What a bunch of selfish people!”

But at this moment, Xiao Wancheng suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

“You guys vowed to eliminate the bad apples in the Dao Alliance, but now it’s your turn to contribute, and you’re not willing to do so?”

“Sanctimonious!”

He turned around and looked at Butler Fei with awe-inspiring dignity.

“Brother Fei, my Xiao family fully supports the order of the leader. My two sons can be sent to the battlefield at any time to serve the Dao Alliance.”

Damn it, Xiao Wancheng has completely become a dog of the Wang Quan family!

Dongfang Guyue cursed inwardly.

The other party’s current hypocritical attitude was clearly an attempt to squeeze him and use the righteousness of the Dao Alliance to force them to agree to this resolution.

Two sides were in favor, two sides were against, and the two sides were balanced again.

“I do not agree with this resolution!”

At this time, the head of the Li family spoke in a cold voice,

“Mr. Xiao is loyal to the Dao League and is willing to sacrifice his two sons. This is truly admirable.”

“But in my opinion, although there is a shortage of manpower at this time, it is not yet the most critical moment.”

“It’s just that the Great Demon King is invading our borders. The Dao Alliance is not without means to deal with it. There’s no need to force a group of newcomers selected from the martial arts competition to fight to their death.”

“After all, it’s because you can’t bear to part with your own children!”

Xiao Wancheng said sarcastically.

“Elder Li’s words make sense, but we can’t just ignore this great demon king who is attacking us!”

Butler Fei said slowly,

“If someone can go to the border and kill the rebellious demon king, we can stop recruiting new disciples!”

“Isn’t this the strongest person in the Dao League?”

Xiao Wancheng sneered a few times.
“Master Dongfang, with your strength, killing a few great demon kings shouldn’t be a problem at all!”

“Since you care about your own disciples, why not take action yourself and eliminate the great demon king.”

“This way, the Dao Alliance will be out of danger and your disciples’ safety will be guaranteed. Everyone will be happy!”

“I wonder if Master Dongfang is willing to help?”

Butler Fei took the opportunity to ask.

The two of them sang in unison and lifted Dongfang Gu Yue up.

Dongfang Gu Yue suddenly realized that these two people were ostensibly plotting against his disciples, but in fact, they were targeting him.

It seems like they are going to force him to fight against the Great Demon King!
“What’s wrong, Dongfang Guyue? You haven’t said anything for a long time. Are you afraid?”

Xiao Wancheng also spoke out to put pressure on the company.

“You usually show off your strength, but when it comes to dealing with the monsters, you become weak?”

Dongfang Guyue was caught in a dilemma.

With his strength as the Demon King, it would be easy for him to deal with a great Demon King.

But now is not the time.

The big demon king is not a fool. If he is defeated head-on by the army, the enemy will definitely hide himself or even run away immediately.
