Chapter 468: Sincerity

Gu Yue Huaidie carefully analyzed the current situation and spent a lot of effort to come up with this plan. When she spoke about her plan, even Luo Ye, the Daoist Master who usually didn't like her, praised her for being very cunning. Meng Zhang admired Gu Yue Huaidie's scheming abilities, which he lacked.

Previously, Meng Zhang had a military strategist named Li Xuan by his side. However, as the conflicts involving Taiyi Sect became more intense and the opponents became stronger, Li Xuan, hindered by his cultivation base and knowledge, gradually fell behind Taiyi Sect's pace. As a Refining Qi stage cultivator, he had no way of measuring the thoughts of a Gold Core Daoist Master, nor did he have the ability to participate in the alliances between Gold Core sects.

As the Hall Master of External Affairs, he felt that his cultivation base was holding him back when representing Taiyi Sect and dealing with other forces. An ordinary Refining Qi stage cultivator could hardly speak for a Gold Core sect. He was already old and had recently asked Meng Zhang to resign from his position as Hall Master of External Affairs and retire in his hometown.

There were more and more young talents rising in Taiyi Sect, and there would be fewer and fewer Refining Qi stage cultivators serving as Hall Masters. Meng Zhang often felt that he lacked a capable strategist by his side. Gu Yue Huaidie, who could become the strategist of the Gu Yue Family, was more than qualified for the job, not to mention her identity as a Diviner.

Meng Zhang did not expect Taiyi Sect to have a strategist like Gu Yue Huaidie, but he hoped to have someone who could be of great use to him. The current priority was the war in the Demon Wind Gobi, and Meng Zhang put these thoughts aside.

After listening to Gu Yue Huaidie's plan, Meng Zhang and Luo Ye, the Daoist Master, discussed it and finally made a decision. With the new plan, Meng Zhang waited quietly for the next meeting with Lion Demon General.

It didn't take long for Meng Zhang, Qi Nanfei, and Fei Yu, the Daoist Master, to meet with Lion Demon General again. In fact, both sides had the intention of dealing with Dark Crow Demon General, but they couldn't agree on many details due to mutual distrust. As for how to gain trust in the Cultivation World, there were many ways, such as making a heart demon vow or a ghost oath, but unfortunately, the heart demon vow had little restraint on demonic beasts, and both sides were not willing to make a ghost oath.

On the surface, both sides were discussing how to deal with Dark Crow Demon General together, but in their hearts, they were full of malice and scheming towards each other. Everyone knew that they were trying to take advantage of each other, but they had no choice but to maintain their superficial cooperation.

If they were to make a ghost oath, many things would have to be revealed, and some details would have to be discussed. Especially since Flying Swan Sect had previously used a ghost oath to scheme against Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, everyone had to be very cautious. Even Taiyi Sect and Northern Desert Qi Family, who were allies of Flying Swan Sect, had to be careful of Flying Swan Sect, let alone Lion Demon General.

But once many things were revealed, the current surface peace would immediately be destroyed. Fei Yu, the Daoist Master, and Meng Zhang both planned to first deal with Dark Crow Demon General and then slowly deal with Lion Demon General. Lion Demon General was not stupid either. It would not help scheme against Dark Crow Demon General unless it could ensure its own safety.Because everyone was cautious and wary of language traps and tricks, there was no room for them. Seeing that both sides couldn't come to an agreement, they were about to leave without any progress. Meng Zhang, who had not expressed any opinions in the previous meetings, spoke up and hit the nail on the head. The reason why they couldn't agree was that they didn't trust each other. To solve this problem, everyone could show a little sincerity.

Lion Demon General could help human cultivators by eliminating a Third Rank demon beast on Dark Crow Demon General's side. Of course, Lion Demon General didn't need to appear directly, it only needed to provide an opportunity for the human side. After the human cultivators eliminated the Third Rank demon beast, they must immediately launch a full-scale attack on Dark Crow Demon General.

Meng Zhang's proposal was well received by everyone. Lion Demon General's offer to help human cultivators eliminate the Third Rank demon beast on Dark Crow Demon General's side would not only weaken Dark Crow Demon General's strength but also make it impossible for Lion Demon General to unite with Dark Crow Demon General.

Although Lion Demon General seemed to have suffered a little loss, it didn't care. Lion Demon General had long been desperate with Dark Crow Demon General and would never unite with it. Moreover, weakening Dark Crow Demon General's side was exactly what it wanted. As long as the human side attacked Dark Crow Demon General as agreed, it would achieve its goal. Even if the human side broke the agreement after weakening Dark Crow Demon General, Lion Demon General would not suffer any losses. After all, it was Dark Crow Demon General's subordinates who died, and its own strength was not affected. Even in the worst-case scenario, if the human cultivators attacked it with all their might, it had enough confidence to resist for a long time. The most important thing was that Lion Demon General knew Dark Crow Demon General very well. If the human side killed its Third Rank demon beast, it would definitely not let it go. With its usual prideful personality, it would most likely launch an attack on the human side.

Although Lion Demon General was already interested, it still didn't let its guard down easily and continued to bargain with Meng Zhang and the others. After a difficult negotiation, they finally reached a final agreement that was similar to Meng Zhang's proposal with some modifications in the details.

Now that the agreement had been reached, it was time to take action. According to the agreement, Lion Demon General would provide an opportunity for the human side to kill the Third Rank demon beast on Dark Crow Demon General's side. In addition to Dark Crow Demon General, its side also had Golden Tiger Demon General and Poison Sand Demon General. Lion Demon General had severely injured Poison Sand Demon General this time, and they had a deep grudge, so it was unlikely that Poison Sand Demon General would be lured out. It was different for Golden Tiger Demon General. Lion Demon General had never dealt with him before. According to Long-hair Demon General, Golden Tiger Demon General seemed to be willing to cooperate with Lion Demon General. Even if Long-hair Demon General exaggerated, at least Golden Tiger Demon General should not be hostile to Lion Demon General.

In Lion Demon General's plan, it could use Long-hair Demon General to lure out Golden Tiger Demon General and let the human cultivators ambush it in advance and launch an attack in time. If the human cultivators killed Golden Tiger Demon General, Lion Demon General would have fulfilled the agreement and shown its sincerity. The next step was to see how the human side would act. During this time, Long-hair Demon General had come and gone between Lion Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General, trying to persuade them to join forces. It was not difficult for Lion Demon General to contact it.
