Cao Zhengyang, of course, understood Hou Fei’s feelings at this mont. Putting himself in his shoes, if a holy dicine he had carefully tended for a thousand years suddenly disappeared inexplicably, anyone would be furious.
"Brother Hou, please don’t be angry. We will definitely help you with this!" Cao Zhengyang quickly walked over with a smile on his face, pulling Hou Mountain to sit down, trying to calm his emotions.
Canglan Mountain, Cyan Mist Mountain, East Ming Mountain...
These mountain ranges are inhabited by nurous great demons, each with a Demon King overseeing them, and they have good relations with each other.
If they really unite, it would be disastrous for the Five Sects.
After Hou Mountain sat down, his tone eased slightly and he said, "Anyway, we have at most half a year. We must find the Fusang Lingkui. Since there are many human cities and sects, it is inconvenient for us to show ourselves."
After all, there are only a dozen or so Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Kings, and their bodies still retain so characteristics of the Demon Race, making them too conspicuous. If they rashly enter a city, it would cause panic among the people.
As for other mbers of the Demon Race, at most, they can just stamr out so human words and can’t do much to help.
"Next, I will make a round to Cangyan Daoist Palace. For my sake, you Five Sects should have a ceasefire for half a year. After that, do as you like."
At this point, Hou Mountain got up and added, "If any of you help find it, I will not be stingy; there will be a generous gift. If not, who knows what I will do in half a year."
After saying that, Hou Mountain left in a flash.
Leaving the people in the grand hall looking at each other in dismay.
"This is trouble!" Cao Zhengyang said with a gloomy expression.
If Hou Mountain leads his forces to join one side or directly launches a beast tide, no force could withstand it.
Yan Xiaohu, who had been standing aside, couldn’t help but speak, "Isn’t this extortion? Why assu it’s us who did it?"
Cao Zhengyang glanced at him and sighed, "Old Hou is not unreasonable. It’s obvious he’s really mad this ti, and that Fusang Lingkui must be extrely important to him."
Hundred Battle Peak’s Peak Master, Ling Yuexiao, walked out with a serious expression and said, "Yes, if we can’t find it, he might really co to vent on the Five Sects. Could it be Cangyan Daoist Palace who did it?"
"Don’t know, but it doesn’t seem likely he would do sothing this foolish. For years, the Five Sects have always had an understanding with various Demon Kings, and at this juncture, Sikong Yan wouldn’t fear our alliance turning into four sects?"
Cloud Concealing Peak’s Peak Master, Ruan Mingxiu, also stepped out, analyzing while stroking his chin.
The other Peak Masters nodded repeatedly.
Yuqing Peak’s Peak Master, Tong Min, said, "Didn’t Fellow Daoist Hou say? He has been investigating secretly for a year and found no trace of the holy dicine in any of the Five Sects."
Cao Zhengyang, thinking deeply, frowned and said, "Then it’s strange. Stealing the holy dicine a year ago and not refining it, watching its potency slowly fade, even die, what is the other party trying to do?"
Zhou Qing said, "Could it be the Imperial City again?"
Everyone imdiately looked at Zhou Qing, a guess not impossible.
"Everyone, disperse. I’ll inform Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and see what Cangyan Daoist Palace and Phecda Sect plan to do!"
After saying this, Cao Zhengyang left.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also stepped out.
Yan Xiaohu said, "Did Senior Hou invite you just to see what you look like?"
Zhou Qing said, "Probably."
"Haha! Truly famous. I ca here eagerly, and he didn’t even glance at . By the way, if the Second Senior Sister really breaks through the Divinity Transformation, you’ll surely top the wanted list."
Yan Xiaohu expressed his admiration.
But Zhou Qing didn’t care about this, looking worried.
Soone indeed intervened unexpectedly. If a beast tide erupted, even a united Five Sects would suffer greatly.
Moreover, after so many years of fighting, there were long-standing grudges. If danger arises, it’d be rciful if neither side stabbed the other in the back.
Thus, within a day, the Taiqing Sect received ceasefire invitations from Cangyan Daoist Palace and Phecda Sect.
The leaders of the three sects imdiately brought people to discuss the relevant matters.
The next day, news spread.
From today, the Five Sects temporarily cease all hostilities for half a year. During this period, any violator will be killed on the spot by the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Next, all disciples of the Five Sects will join forces to search for the holy dicine Fusang Lingkui, with an image of it distributed to everyone.
The first to find it will be rewarded with thirty top-grade Spirit Stones, and additionally by the Canglan Mountain Demon King with a great opportunity.
Yan Xiaohu, looking at the latest news, was excited by the high reward.
But it also showed how much the Five Sects valued this matter.
After fighting each other for years, now working for the benefit of others.
"What are you waiting for, let’s go to Canglan Mountain to find so clues first. I’ve never been to the Demon King’s Cave Mansion!" Yan Xiaohu was excited.
He was even planning the journey.
Zhou Qing agreed, taking advantage of Daily Reflection to check the situation.
If they could help the senior Hou Mountain find the holy dicine, they’d not only gain an opportunity but also strengthen their relationship.
If the sect ever encountered any trouble in the future, Hou Mountain might help for old tis’ sake.
Soon, a team personally organized by Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang prepared to head to Canglan Mountain to investigate.
