"Han Xingmian, what do you mean?"
Shentu Lie's face darkened, and he aggressively confronted her.
He had a hot temper. If he were an ordinary immortal mansion master, he would probably not be able to resist flipping the table and getting physical.
But Shentu Lie knew that this woman in front of him was not someone he could easily control, and he felt quite wary of her.
In the major immortal mansions, strength meant authority!
Han Xingmian narrowed her eyes, her smile full of charm, but her eyes were filled with a coldness.
She glanced at Shentu Lie and coldly said, "If I disagree, do I still need your approval?"
"You..."
Shentu Lie's face twisted, but he could only suppress his anger and casually glanced at Shen Baixiu.
At this critical moment, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Shentu Lie thought to himself, "Arrogant woman, thinking she's invincible just because she's powerful. Once the Heaven-stealing plan succeeds, the first thing I'll do is destroy your Extreme Ice Immortal Palace."
He discreetly glanced at Han Xingmian's graceful figure, feeling a burning desire in his heart.
For Shentu Lie, he had seen all kinds of beautiful women.
But with Han Xingmian's identity, if he could conquer a woman like her, the sense of accomplishment would be completely different.
Shen Baixiu hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Palace Master Han, if you have any different ideas, feel free to speak up!"
He was polite and didn't want to conflict with the other party at this time.
The more critical the moment, the more cautious one should be.
One must not make the slightest mistake in order to avoid giving the opponent an opportunity.
In Shen Baixiu's mind, whether or not to attack the Nine Provinces Immortal Alliance didn't affect his plan.
If the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace really supported it, there was no need to fight to the end.
In addition to them, the leaders of the other immortal mansions also looked over, their gazes falling on Han Xingmian.
They all wanted to know what her intentions were.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became quiet, and the noisy voices died down.
Han Xingmian frowned, swept her gaze around, and said,
"Just now, Immortal Master Shen also said that the return of the immortal mansions is to unite the Nine Provinces and resist the Immortal Court!"
"If we were to attack the cultivators of the Nine Provinces at this time, how would they view the return of the immortal mansions? Would they think that the Immortal Court is just exploiting them and has ulterior motives?"
She paused and waited for a moment before continuing, "Would they still trust the techniques we teach them?"
After these words were spoken, everyone furrowed their brows but remained silent.
Han Xingmian was not wrong in what she said.
But in reality, it was as if she hadn't said anything. This excuse was quite lame.
In the cultivation world, strength was relied upon no matter where one was.
As long as the immortal mansions were strong enough, even if they were to massacre everyone, so what? Among the remaining people, wouldn't they obediently beg for more powerful techniques to be taught to them?
However, although Han Xingmian's words were unchallenged, no one stood up to refute her. No one wanted to offend her rashly.
When this woman loses her temper, it's no joke.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Han Xingmian sneered and said, "Furthermore, the Nine Provinces Immortal Alliance has some connections with my Extreme Ice Immortal Palace. Whoever dares to act, don't blame me for not showing mercy."
Crack!
A loud sound rang out as Shentu Lie smashed the stone table in front of him and shouted, "If you're not going to take action, do we still need you to meddle in the affairs of our major immortal mansions?"
Indeed, there were several immortal mansions that were dissatisfied.
Shentu Lie voiced their inner thoughts. In their eyes, Han Xingmian's actions were a bit overbearing.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Shen Baixiu flashed his figure and stood between the two sides, his voice calm.
"Calm down. I called everyone here today to solve problems, not to start new conflicts."
"The Three Realms' unification is imminent, and we don't have much time left."
Only then did Shentu Lie snort and sit down.
Shen Baixiu furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Since that's the case, let's forget about attacking the Nine Provinces!"
"But if any of you want to act on your own, I can't control that."
He thought for a moment and continued, "However, we all need to arrange things as soon as possible, teach techniques, and even open up the immortal mansions to select talented cultivators from the Nine Provinces to cultivate inside!"
"Help them Transcend Tribulation and become immortals as soon as possible..."
Shen Baixiu said, "Only by cultivating more immortal mansion immortals can we have the confidence to confront the Immortal Court!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Currently, cannon fodder was indeed insufficient. Once they went to war with the Immortal Court, the casualties would be unimaginable.
However, Han Xingmian glanced at Shen Baixiu with a playful look and asked, "After Transcending Tribulation, the immortal mansion immortals always disappear for no reason. What if they all disappear after Transcending Tribulation?"
Shen Baixiu's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a hint of unnaturalness.
He turned around and looked deeply at Han Xingmian, explaining, "There has never been any evidence in the major immortal mansions to suggest whether those disappeared immortals were hiding or if something happened to them."
"Perhaps, perhaps they are all watching us from some otherworldly immortal realm?"
Shen Baixiu continued, "Now that the immortal mansions are in trouble, the immortals may not disappear, or they may not reappear!"
Han Xingmian nodded and said, "Then why don't you Transcend Tribulation?"
"I..." Shen Baixiu's expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he said, "My path is not yet complete, how can I hastily Transcend Tribulation?"
"Don't worry, when the path is restored, it won't be long before we all Transcend Tribulation and become immortals!"
Han Xingmian didn't say anything more.
But there are still many immortal mansion giants who have not Transcended Tribulation. One reason is that they are afraid that it might be a trap after Transcending Tribulation.
But there are also many who know that the tribulation of the immortal mansions is not complete!
They want to wait for the arrival of the unification of the three realms and complete the tribulation of the entire world.
The strength of immortals also varies, and the True Immortal realm is the starting point for immortals. Everyone wants their starting point to be a little higher.
Han Xingmian, who has not Transcended Tribulation until now, also has such plans.
"Shen Baixiu is so confident, is he really not afraid of Transcending Tribulation?"
Han Xingmian wondered in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.
At this time, Shentu Lie's voice rang out again, laughing, "That's right!"
"Perhaps those immortals who disappeared before Ascended to some unknown Immortal Realm after Transcending Tribulation?"
"Wherever it is, it must be carefree and happy!"
Shentu Lie looked at everyone, his face intoxicated, and said, "If we don't become immortals, we will be mortals. How can we mortals peek into the whereabouts of immortals?"
His words made many people's eyes brighten.
They all felt it made sense.
You see, if you really want to Transcend Tribulation, almost everyone present can do it at any time.
They have been waiting until now because they are not at ease.
With the unification of the three realms and the restoration of the path, they can finally take a gamble.
Next, Shen Baixiu talked about how to help the cultivators of Jiuzhou quickly improve their strength and Transcend Tribulation as soon as possible.
It seemed that he really had no ulterior motives and was solely focused on uniting Jiuzhou to resist the formidable Immortal Court.
Then the leaders of the major immortal mansions dispersed.
Han Xingmian returned to the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace.
In the midst of the icy and snowy landscape, the ancient palace was mysterious and magnificent.
She walked into the main hall.
Ye Xi approached and asked, "How did it go?"
Han Xingmian's face remained calm, and she smiled, "You guessed it right. Shen Baixiu's original intention was to incite the immortal mansions to massacre the forces of Jiuzhou, but he gave up after I intervened."
Ye Xi nodded, this was also within his expectations.
The information provided by Lingxiao was very comprehensive, even including details about Shen Baixiu's style of doing things.
Since being severely injured by the mysterious Great Emperor, he has become extremely cautious and will not take risks easily.
Ye Xi hesitated for a moment and asked, "So what should we do next?"
This was the reason he stayed here.
Shen Baixiu's move was truly ruthless, using the return of the immortal mansions to harvest Transcending Tribulation immortals.
There was simply no solution to this.
Transcending Tribulation was a dead end. If they didn't Transcend Tribulation, they would be defeated. It was also a dead end.
Even if they knew it was a trap, they couldn't break free from it.
Han Xingmian smiled charmingly, glanced at Ye Xi, and said, "On this point, you can't compare to your master!"
"Hasn't he ever told you to enjoy life in a timely manner? Since we're all doomed, why not meet whoever you want to meet and play however you want..."
Ye Xi: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.
Then, Han Xingmian's expression changed again, and she sneered, "What else can we do? We can only wait for your dead master!"
"Didn't you say he's going to do something earth-shattering? As long as he succeeds, we will naturally be safe!"
Han Xingmian continued, "So why worry? Don't tell me he's on vacation!"
Ye Xi also became suspicious. Yeah, why would the master bring so many disciples with him if he was going to do something so important?
Something's not right!
But at this point, he could only grit his teeth and say:
"Rest assured, Master is not that kind of person!"
