915.5 people's meeting
After Xiao Yan's grand wedding, all the guests left Xingyun Pavilion one after another within five days.
As these people left, their expressions varied. Although the wedding was over, its impact on the entire continent was far from over. In the past five days, many things had happened within the Starfall Pavilion.
After seeing all the guests off, Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor, Mu Yaoyin, Venerable Feng, and Yao Lao gathered in the council hall of Starfall Pavilion.
The council chamber of the Starfall Pavilion is not luxurious, but it still has a dozen or so seats. However, there are only five people there now.
These five individuals can be considered the core of the three major forces: Starfall Pavilion, One Domain Valley, and Heavenly Phoenix Clan. With these five present, they can essentially restrain the entire three forces.
These three forces, connected by Xiao Yan, are now interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity. They can even be considered as one entity, though due to various external conditions, they cannot yet present themselves as a single power.
They are all people who will absolutely support Xiao Yan with all their might, and no matter how the situation changes, they will always stand on the same side as Xiao Yan.
Of course, strictly speaking, there is another example like this: the Nine Netherworld Python clan. Everyone knows Qing Lin's attitude towards Xiao Yan: whatever Xiao Yan wants to do, Qing Lin will do. Even now that she leads the Nine Netherworld Python clan and is now an empress, her attitude towards Xiao Yan remains unchanged.
However, the elders who came on the day of the wedding explained to Xiao Yan that the Queen was currently in seclusion and it was inconvenient for her to come in person.
Apart from Qing Lin, Xiao Yan had no way of truly trusting the other elders and high-ranking members of the Nine Netherworld Pythons to explain his core plan, so he ultimately excluded them as well.
They have gathered here at this moment to discuss matters concerning the future of the three major powers.
After all five of them had arrived, Xiao Yan took the initiative to speak and briefly analyzed the current situation: "Teacher, Elder Feng, Elder Mu, Xian'er, there are two main things we need to discuss today."
"First, should we form an alliance with the Thunder Clan, Medicine Clan, and Stone Clan?"
"Secondly, how should we handle our relations with other forces?"
"These forces are mainly those who expressed their goodwill towards us during my wedding."
Everyone nodded in agreement. This discussion wasn't sudden; everyone had been somewhat prepared.
Then Venerable Wind raised his hand and said first, "Since I am the weakest among those present, I will go first."
When Venerable Feng said this, everyone realized what had happened and then smiled.
Feng Zun Zhe's realm had been stable at the fourth level of Dou Zun for a long time. Even now, with Yao Lao's return and the refinement of many pills for him, he has only temporarily risen to the fifth level of Dou Zun.
Among those present, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and Mu Yaoyin were all Dou Sheng powerhouses. Even Xiao Yi Xian had already reached the strength of an eight-star Dou Zun.
Judging from his own abilities, Venerable Wind was absolutely right.
Of course, this is also a self-deprecating remark by Venerable Wind. Since they have already appeared here, these people will not really care about the so-called realm or strength.
As the former head of the Starfall Pavilion, or rather, the nominal head of the Starfall Pavilion now, Venerable Feng's opinion is naturally extremely important.
"I don't think forming an alliance with the Dou Di family is a bad thing," Venerable Feng said, essentially confirming the core message he wanted to convey.
"From any perspective, we are currently at a disadvantage against the Dou Di family. Neither the Soul Clan nor the Ancient Clan have truly gone all out against us yet. We are in an extremely passive situation."
"However, once we form an alliance with the Thunder Clan, our security will be greatly improved."
"As for the other major forces, I believe that deep down they mostly still prefer to ally with the families descended from the Dou Di."
"In truly large-scale battles, the strength of a Dou Sheng expert is extremely important. And if you want to fight against a Dou Di descendant family, then you have no choice but to choose another Dou Di descendant family."
Venerable Wind spoke fluently and at a rapid pace, expressing his innermost thoughts. Judging from his demeanor, he had clearly been pondering this for a long time.
The issue of strength he mentioned was something that everyone had been worrying about for a long time. They were all Xiao Yan's supporters and could never be separated from him.
Therefore, fighting against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan will be the main theme in the future. Not to mention, judging from the information Xiao Yan has obtained so far, the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan may have even joined forces.
Not long after Venerable Feng finished speaking, Elder Yao took the initiative to speak, shaking his head and saying, "I think what Venerable Feng said is still somewhat inappropriate."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other with a smile on their faces. They both knew that this was just a difference of opinion and had no other meaning.
Moreover, it was actually the most appropriate person for Yao Lao to oppose Feng Zun Zhe's opinion.
"Based on the results of our discussions over the past few days, the conditions offered by the Thunder Clan, Stone Clan, and Medicine Clan alliance are nominally an alliance between us, but in reality, it's more like recruiting some subordinates. It's similar to the relationship between the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace."
"Moreover, the three families are now united as one, clearly having formed an alliance in advance. The meaning behind this is quite clear: their true core trust is only for their three clans. The respect shown to the descendants of Dou Di is only reserved for other descendants of Dou Di. If they truly wanted to treat us as equals, they should have contacted us long ago. Even if they considered the Starfall Pavilion's power small, they should have contacted the Pill Tower instead."
"But none of these things happened. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's wedding, I even think they might have postponed the contact."
"Right now we need the strength of the Dou Di descendant families; they can certainly protect our safety. But once this storm passes, we risk being swallowed up."
"I believe no one would want to become an ordinary descendant of a Dou Di family."
"I myself come from a family descended from a Dou Di, so I know some things better than you do."
At this point, the old doctor's past sorrows were stirred up again, his eyes darkened slightly, and his tone lowered involuntarily.
"Those people will never put down their pride until they have sufficient strength. Only a very small minority will ever treat us with the same respect they would show to allies."
