The first day of the conference ended. Although Liu Binglan had prepared herself, she never expected to have to give up Northern Territory so easily.
Thinking carefully about it, Northern Territory didn't belong completely to New Moon Land, and if New Moon Land wanted to take such a huge reach to administer the entire territory, there would indeed be a few inconvenient places.
If it was annexed, there was nothing to do about it. Liu Binglan wasn't particularly reluctant to give up this territory, but she didn't like seeing those people grow arrogant and continue to try to push her down.
Once the conference ended, everyone dispersed.
The moment Liu Binglan walked out of the villa great hall, Madam Huo swaggered over with a pleased expression written all over her face.
"Didn't I tell you before? Unfortunately, you're always so arrogant, " said Madam Huo.
Liu Binglan didn't want to speak with this woman and just walked off.
"I'm actually very curious about what relationship you have with Magistrate Xiao. Such a person who doesn't understand feelings and grace unexpectedly appeared twice to help you. Could it be that when you knew that New Moon Land was helpless and alone, you used yourself to complete some shameless transaction with this great magistrate?" continued Madam Huo.
Liu Binglan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
An imposing mental pressure suddenly shot out like a sword from Liu Binglan's purple eyes, deeply piercing Madam Huo's mind.
Madam Huo's expression changed. How would she have expected Liu Binglan to suddenly mentally attack her? She flusteredly retreated and slammed into a pillar.
"You!!" Madam Huo's face was pale.
She had thought New Moon Land's Liu Binglan was a normal person who wasn't particularly strong. However, the soul remembrance she just released was evidence that she was a spirit immortal with an extremely high soul remembrance!
Her soul remembrance was even higher than Madam Huo's, making the latter so shocked that she couldn't say anything for a long while!
There were many people walking in the villa and they quickly noticed Madam Huo and Liu Binglan's conflict. They all turned to look.
Madam Huo was even angrier. She was a mighty Elemental Sect Fire Faction Faction Lord, yet her soul remembrance was being suppressed by someone else!
"You dare to attack me?" angrily said Madam Huo.
As she spoke, she chanted an incantation.
Flames began to circle Madam Huo's robe and her hair wildly flew in the air. Her entire being seemed crazed with flaming anger!
A scarlet red fire diagram circled about Madam Huo's head, forming an enormous fire summoning pattern!
Since her soul remembrance had lost out, in a contest of soul pets, Madam Huo wouldn't let this woman who embarrassed her get away!
Liu Binglan didn't chant an incantation because when Madam Huo was speaking rudely to her, an evil flaming figure appeared in front of her!
The silver devil figure stood in between Madam Huo and Liu Binglan. With a body flaming with evil devil flames, Bai Yu had instantly become a devil. An ice-cold aura instantly pressed down on Madam Huo.
"Hu hu hu hu hu"
The silver devil flames seemed like they were going to smack Madam Huo's face. Only the last syllable remained in Mada Huo's incantation, but when she saw Bai Yu's ice cold eyes that were full of killing intent, Madam Huo no longer had the courage to continue chanting.
Madam Huo wasn't afraid of Bai Yu. She was confident that her Shadow Flame Beast would be able to beat Half Devil Bai Yu.
However, she was even more confident that before she finished summoning the Shadow Flame Beast, she would be burned to ashes by the devil flames.
Bai Yu was a half-devil and his character was hard to grasp and perhaps unbound by humane limits. Although Madam Huo was angry, she didn't dare use her own life to joke around with this crazy devil.
Thus, Madam Huo had no choice but to stop her incantation. After coldly harrumphing, she quickly walked to the side of Elemental Sect members.
When Bai Yu saw Madam Huo stop summoning, he drew his mouth into a contemptuous sneer.
The silver devil flames in his body were slowly extinguished. He walked up to Liu Binglan and calmly said: "Don't bother being polite to a bitch."
Madam Huo's expression darkened when she heard Bai Yu's words. If it weren't for the Chief Enforcer to the side, Madam Huo would have done everything to personally sort out this neither human nor devil thing!
Liu Binglan faintly nodded his head. New Moon Land was currently in an unliked spot. There really was no need to give these people any face, nor could they be weak in the face of rude words and humiliation!
"Hmph, the day you kneel in front of me and beg for forgiveness is almost here!" Madam Huo coldly harrumphed, turned, and left.
......
When she returned to her mountain villa, Liu Binglan informed everyone who traveled with her of what happened in the conference.
Shen Mo was extremely angry. He slammed the desk with his hand and said: "They're pushing us too far! What difference is this from stealing?!"
Shen Mo not only simultaneously administered Zhengming Main City's New Moon Palace, but also administered any matter that occurred in Northern Territory. He had spent a lot of effort to manage Northern Territory Well and had even made it more prosperous with every day. However, all of a sudden, everything had been taken away by others. How could he not be angry!
"How can these people be so despicable? If they have the ability to, they should send people over to steal it from us; we may not even be afraid of them. But using this kind of despicable method to deal with us... how lowly. And they so pompously said they were doing it for the safety of humanity? Shameless!!" Pang Yue cursed even more angrily.
"We have too few allies." Liu Binglan sighed.
If they lost Northern Territory, so be it. Liu Binglan wasn't very worried about that. Instead, she was worried about something else.
News of New Moon Land's independent spaces had already been spread. The large factions had all sent people to negotiate a transaction involving the independent spaces with her. Liu Binglan currently was afraid that they would try and take New Moon Land's independent spaces unscrupulously.
As for what reason they would have to take away the independent spaces, Liu Binglan didn't feel this was important. As long as there were enough people targeting New Moon Land, they would be able to find any excuse. Thus, even if they wanted New Moon Land to subserviently give themselves up to them, they would probably be able to use a vote to do this!
Liu Binglan was growing increasingly anxious about tomorrow's conference.
......
At night, Liu Binglan was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep no matter how she tried.
Tomorrow's storm would be even fiercer. Would she only have the option of compromising like today?
Liu Binglan began to carefully count the number of New Moon Land's allies worthy of full respect.
Unfortunately, the number was too few.
Unable to enter sleep, Liu Binglan got up and put on a purple windbreaker before walking into the courtyard.
A cool breeze blew through the courtyard, causing her chaotic heart to calm down a bit.
She exited the courtyard, and slowly walked along the aerial corridor.
The aerial corridor was between two mountain peaks. It was a bridge that connected two villas. Underneath the corridor was a bottomless abyss.
Liu Binglan stood at the center of the aerial corridor, facing the oncoming strong wind.
The moment Chu Mu began to lead New Moon Land's independence, New Moon Land had been in a rapid period of development. The Three Great Palaces also entered an unprecedented time of prosperity. All of this made her feel incomparably gratified.
Only, as New Moon Land gradually entered the view of Zhengming Continent's big factions, New Moon Land began to suffer even greater rejection and oppression. Liu Binglan was thinking to herself whether she should have New Moon Land retreat and cut their spearheaded development to become more stable development, or whether they should try and survive in between the cracks of these endemic big human factions?
"Sou sou~"
As she was distracted and anxious, two rapid wind noises suddenly rang out in the distant mountain!
Liu Binglan's soul remembrance was very high, and she sensed the abnormality of the wind noise. Thus, she locked her soul remembrance onto that place.
Two shadows of black wind flew towards the aerial corridor. They seemed like they were chasing something and were rather anxious and angry.
When the two black wind shadows got close, Liu Binglan discovered that the two people were unexpectedly two Hidden Pupil Royalty elders!
Anyone able to become an elder in a royal family had to have strength very close to the leader rank and was a fully deserving expert. What were they so anxiously pursuing here?
"Female Supreme Liu, what are you doing here so late at night?" one of the elders riding on a black wind soul pet stopped by the aerial corridor and asked a question.
"The daytime conference gave me a lot to think over so I came out to walk around. What happened to make the two of you elders so anxious?" asked Liu Binglan.
"Hmph, just a mere thief. Did you just sense anyone flying into that villa?" asked one of the royal family elders.
Liu Binglan carefully thought before faintly shaking her head: "No I didn't."
"He had better not get caught by me!! Let's go take a look elsewhere." the two elders rode on their black wind soul pets toward another mountain peak villa.
Liu Binglan watched the two royal family elders leave. She was curious what person would be so daring as to steal something from the royal family's territory.
After silently standing in place for a while, Liu Binglan suddenly looked up and stared at the wood covered pavilion in the aerial corridor.
"Drip..."
A drop of fresh blood fell from above, landing right next to Liu Binglan.
Liu Binglan didn't show any confused expression. She merely looked up and stared at the man hiding in the hanging roof beam above her.
Just now when she used her soul remembrance to sense things, Liu binglan not only saw the two royal family elders flying over, but she also felt the person hiding in the aerial corridor above her. This person used an other type power to hide himself, so that his aura was completely gone.
Unfortunately, Liu Binglan had many other type soul pets and her sensing abilities were extremely sharp when it came to space. This person was unable to escape her senses.
"They've left." Liu Binglan looked at the pair of black and bright eyes, calmly speaking.
That person dropped down from above. There was also a blurry shadow next to him. It was probably an other type soul pet that had a spatial concealment ability that wasn't showing itself in the open right now.
The man was wearing black clothing, and his face was wrapped up tightly.
He had a very deep wound in his arm and the blood from just now was dripping from this wound.
"Many thanks, " the man seemed a bit weak. Ostensibly the wound wasn't light.
"I didn't realize City Lord Lin was such a restless and ambitious person." Liu Binglan immediately recognized this person. He was He City's vice city lord Lin Xian.
"Haha, I hope that Female Supreme Liu can keep my secret, otherwise..." Lin Xian awkwardly laughed.
Of course, Lin Xian was currently inwardly rejoicing that it was great he hadn't removed his Lin Xian disguise. Otherwise, he would probably be recognized by Liu Binglan.
"Otherwise, you'll kill me to keep my mouth shut?" asked Liu Binglan. She was also a bit curious about what City Lord Lin had stolen in the middle of the night from the royal family. He really was courageous.
"Haha, why would I dare. My mind suffered a serious wound by those two old fellows. My perception is unable to determine whether they are nearby. Can I trouble Female Supreme Liu to take me back to my villa?" Lin Xian said with an incomparably pale face.
