The sick villain maxed out the favorability of the protagonist

Then again, if Venerable Wu Wang is the superior, the masters of the Demonic Dao might have other ideas:

For example, the re-division of the sphere of influence, and the strategic approach to Zhengdao...

The peaceful days that have lasted for hundreds of years will inevitably have some fluctuations, and there are many ways in it.

But in the end it was Jiang Anning who was in charge, she wasn't even considered a "superior", she just temporarily took over the scene and looked after the stall for Gu Xiaoluo.

So whether it's the division of power or the strategy, of course it's still the same as before——

Although this kind of "continuation" will definitely disappoint some people, most monks of the magic way feel very relaxed. The days of peace have passed for a long time, and few people are willing to restart the war.

From this point of view, Jiang Anning is really popular.

After resting leisurely, she began to meet the masters one by one.

Under Li Yan's instruction, Jiang Anning upholds the principle of calmness and impermanence when dealing with the four heads of the family, Yan, Chu, Chen, and An.

No matter whether they have a friendly and supportive attitude, or whether they are eccentric, overtly praise and secretly criticize, Jiang Anning will always reply back with clichés:
For big things, we say "discuss and discuss", and for small things, we say "consider and consider".

In short, they neither agreed nor refused, and behaved neither too strong nor weak and incompetent, so that people couldn't find any faults, and couldn't get the slightest advantage...

I have to say that Jiang Anning still has a bit of political talent, and when she speaks official dialect, Li Yan has a feeling of "opening her ears", let alone the four old antiques?
After a few rounds, they were dismissed by empty talk of peaceful mutual assistance, democratic consultation, win-win cooperation, and building a harmonious world of self-cultivation together.

The only exception is Patriarch Dai, the old fox. As soon as he entered the secret room, he said with a smile:

"Gu Zun must be very fond of Madam. He even taught all the secrets of the bottom of the box, such as Returning All Artifacts to Dust, Burning Heaven and Jueying, etc. It is really enviable... I wonder if the cloak of condensing light is also in Madam's hands?"

Jiang Anning's smile froze on her face, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated, "What, what cloak, what Patriarch Dai said... I don't seem to understand it?"

The old fox put on an expression of sudden realization: "The Ningguang cloak is a token specially left by Venerable Gu to his junior sister after the Ningguang Sect was destroyed. It's normal that you haven't heard of it, madam..."

As he spoke, he paused suddenly, looking extremely annoyed, "Oh, it's all my fault, how can I bring up that old incident to Madam? Please don't blame Madam."

Jiang Anning's face turned green and then pale, she gritted her teeth and said, "Patriarch Dai was joking, how could I blame you for some inexplicable words?"

Patriarch Dai clapped his palms and smiled: "Madam is so generous, it seems that I have a villain's heart, and I feel ashamed."

As he spoke, his smile gradually faded: "Then, don't talk about gossip, let's talk about business."

"Oh," Jiang Anning didn't seem to have recovered completely, and said languidly, "I don't really understand the business, so Patriarch Dai can just say it, and I'll just listen."

"Don't understand? That's not okay." Patriarch Dai said with a half-smile:

"The Supreme Conference is coming to an end, Madam is going to represent our whole Demonic Dao to discuss important matters with Master Qingyuan, head of Tianyuanzong. If you don't have a charter in mind, you may be deceived by the other party...or even suffer a loss!"

Facing the aggressiveness of the old fox, Jiang Anning retreated steadily, and finally could only reluctantly reveal her "rules" for the outbreak of the magic weapon:
It is unrealistic to rush to get the magic weapon rashly, so the outbreak of the magic weapon in the Central Continent is simply designated as a forbidden area, and the two ways of righteousness and magic will send people to guard it, and continue to explore the mystery with a rational attitude.

In this way, this major event that shocked the cultivation world can also come to an end——

If you don't think too much, it's that simple.

But how could the old fox Dai Patriarch not think too much?
He looked at Jiang Anning with scorching eyes, and said righteously: "Ma'am, it is a good idea to designate the magic treasure Tianhu as a forbidden area, which can indeed avoid many unnecessary casualties...

My Dai family is willing to guard the forbidden area, and it is my duty to do so. "

"Magical Treasure Sky Lake" is the recognized name of the world for the blue liquid with many magic treasures floating there. Although it is called a "lake", it actually covers an area as large as an inner sea.

Since the formation of the Magic Treasure Sky Lake, thousands of monks have been studying its secrets.

Hundreds and thousands of people have lost their lives, but so far there has been no major progress. It is true that we can no longer let it go. A unified plan for the two paths of righteousness and evil is necessary——

In fact, Li Yan and Master Qingyuan had made an agreement a long time ago.

As for the old fox Dai Patriarch, since he has already taken out the Ningguang cloak as a bargaining chip, Jiang Anning has no choice but to agree to his "obligation".

After agreeing on this matter, they each prepared to go.

"Will the old fox really be fooled by us? I don't have confidence in my acting skills..."

After the five aristocratic families announced the end of the Supreme Conference, Jiang Anning rode a stupid bull on the road, aiming at the magic weapon Tianhu.

But she always felt that her heart was up and down, and she had no confidence at all.

"It doesn't matter, the old fox has long believed that your three spirit swords are related to the magic weapon Tianhu. No matter how fake you are, their Dai family will be 'duty'."

Li Yan said it casually, seeming quite sure.

What is the secret in the magic treasure sky lake?
In fact, Li Yan really didn't care at all: it's normal for such a weird thing to be unable to decipher after hundreds or thousands of years.

He has already died for it once, and of course he has no interest in going into danger again.

What's more, in Li Yan's opinion, more magic weapons are not the better, so they have no attraction for him at all.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the magic weapon Tianhu to make some arrangements that are beneficial to him, that is the real deal.

As for the old fox Dai Patriarch, as an expert in intelligence gathering, it's not surprising that he could guess that Li Yan and the others were "cheating" in the Supreme Fighting Technique by relying on the Ningguang Cloak.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to claim privileges and gain benefits, so Li Yan went along with the flow, or in other words, he used his tricks:
If the Dai family focused on deciphering the secret of the magic weapon Tianhu, Li Yan asked Song Yu to contact several other great families to eat away at the power of the Dai family, and continue to contain each other.

Moreover, the Dai family has taken action, so can Venerable Wu Wang not get involved?

Who is the king and who is the loser... always a fan of the authorities.

Since the result of the supreme fighting method still can't completely suppress the ambitions of the old fox and Ersha, let's add another fire.

Ever since Qingling triggered the outbreak of the magic weapon, Master Qingyuan has been permanently stationed in the Central Continent, and has never returned to the Tianyuanzong Mountain Gate in the Eastern Continent.

From his point of view, this whole thing was originally caused by him, and the responsibility should naturally be borne by him.
