At this moment, eight elders are seated in the hall.
The elder at the high seat is the deceased Duan Huangyu's father: Duan Wuhuang.
This person has not concerned himself with worldly matters for many years, remaining in seclusion for cultivation, and now he has reached the emperor realm.
The elder at the top seat was the Ninety-Year-Old Elder, who was the deceased Duan Huangyu's father: Duan Wuhuang.
This person had not inquired into worldly affairs for many years and had been in seclusion cultivating. He now possessed the strength of the second stage of the emperor realm!
The seven elders at the lower seats were respectively: Ye Longyun, the City Lord of Dragon Cloud Immortal City, and Zhen Kehan, the deputy City Lord.
The third was Jin Bailian, the City Lord of Refined Iron Immortal City, who had just ascended to the first stage of the emperor realm not long ago.
The fourth was Qin Yu, the City Lord of Qin Yu Immortal City, who was at the twelfth level of the emperor realm, said to possess the ability to challenge the second stage of the emperor realm.
The fifth was Liu Kuanglan, the City Lord of Wild Wave Immortal City, who was at the first stage of the emperor realm.
The sixth was Chu Wuhen, the City Lord of Shadow Immortal City, a powerful figure at the twelfth level of the emperor realm, skilled in assassination techniques, killing invisibly.
The seventh was Yong the Supreme, the City Lord of Supreme Immortal City, who was now at the second stage of the emperor realm!
In the Abandoned Land, the high-level immortal cities, originally comprised of Falling Star Immortal City, Qing Tian Immortal City, Supreme Extreme Immortal City, Refined Iron Immortal City, Dragon Cloud Immortal City, Qin Yu Immortal City, Wild Wave Immortal City, Shadow Immortal City, and Supreme Immortal City, now only had eight left after Qing Tian Immortal City was conquered by Xuan Yuan Rou.
Among the eight immortal cities, all the city lords, except for the absent lord of Falling Star Immortal City, arrived as scheduled.
In the top seats, Duan Wuhuang's murky eyes were filled with displeasure, "You all came for the old man's face, and for the survival of our high-level immortals, yet she, Zhen Ji, is the only one absent!"
"How unreasonable!"
Hearing this, Zhen Kehan coldly responded, "Duan City Lord is right; Zhen Ji is indeed being unreasonable!"
The other city lords were also displeased.
Qin Yu's expression darkened as he said, "Enough, let's not mention that woman anymore. Instead, let us set aside our grudges and discuss how to collaborate to eliminate Xuan Yuan Rou!"
"We cannot allow her to grow any stronger; otherwise, all our immortal cities will be defeated one by one."
Qin Yu's words were met with agreement from the crowd.
Duan Wuhuang pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone, in my humble opinion, our seven immortal cities should each lead an army of one billion to annihilate Qing Tian Immortal City."
"I know that some of you have enmities with one another, but for the sake of fairness, let us all establish a pact of alliance today."
"Once we have destroyed Qing Tian Immortal City, the alliance can be dissolved."
"As for the spoils after the battle, we can claim Qing Tian Immortal City, Abandoned City, and Xuan Yuan Immortal City."
"At that time, I, Duan Wuhuang, will relinquish my claim to the three major cities; my purpose is simply to kill Xuan Yuan Rou and avenge my son."
Upon hearing this, Ye Longyun said with pain, "I too only wish to kill Xuan Yuan Rou to avenge my father, brother, and son. As for the distribution of the three major cities, I can forgo them, as long as I receive some compensation."
Hearing this, Jin Bailian, Qin Yu, Chu Wuhen, Yong the Supreme, and Liu Kuanglan exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
After negotiation, the five city lords decided that once Xuan Yuan Rou was defeated, all the spoils from Qing Tian Immortal City would go to Qin Yu.
Qing Tian Immortal City would belong to Chu Wuhen, the Abandoned City to Liu Kuanglan, and Xuan Yuan Immortal City to Jin Bailian, with all three to compensate Yong the Supreme.
