Chapter 405 The Conditions of Guangxuan Cave Heaven: Preliminary Decision
Upon seeing the two people being carried by Feng Zitao, Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed once again.

Because those two people were none other than Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie, who had previously targeted him.

However, he did not rush to make any statement, but instead looked directly at Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan.

"Junior Brother Ji..."

Tang Luoyan suddenly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ji Haoyuan, and said sincerely:
"To be honest, I was unaware of the misunderstanding between you and Senior Brother Qin and Junior Brother Feng before."

It was only later, when I returned to Chongming Hall, that I heard about it.

These two individuals are also a sincere expression of our apology to you.

You can say whatever you want to do with them.

"As long as it doesn't cost them their lives, we can agree to anything you ask."

Ji Haoyuan never expected that Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan would be so ruthless.

If he wasn't mistaken, then Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie must have been acting under their orders before, right?
But now, those two people have been abandoned just like that.

Ji Haoyuan had no intention of sympathizing with the two guys, nor did he have any thought of letting the matter drop.

He just felt that Qin Shan and his group were not afraid of alienating their people by doing things like this.

If they can treat Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie like that today, will they do the same thing to others, or even him, in the future?
As if sensing Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Tang Luoyan spoke again:

"Junior Brother Ji, please don't misunderstand."

The reason they are willing to cooperate with us now is because we have given their families enough benefits.

Therefore, they are willing to let you, Junior Brother Ji, do as you please.

Otherwise, even if we are elders of the Holy Land, we would not be able to force the sect's deacons to do such a thing without clear evidence.

indeed.

Given Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan's status and position, dealing with Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie, or even eliminating them, would indeed be a very easy matter.

They only need to spread some rumors, and naturally, people will come to deal with Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie.

However, getting the two to cooperate unconditionally, or even to be disposed of at will by Ji Haoyuan without giving them any corresponding benefits or satisfying them, is definitely not that simple.

After all, this is inside a sacred site, and in front of a large audience.

Many rules that are supposed to be followed on the surface still need to be followed.

Even Lu Yuanshan and Dai Yunfang, who didn't get along with them, didn't refute Tang Luoyan's words.

Clearly, they also knew that the fact that the other party brought two people for Ji Haoyuan to do with as he pleased must have involved a deal they were unaware of.

Ji Haoyuan was naturally able to judge whether it was true or false.

Although with his current status, dealing with Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie might only be a matter of a word for him.

But the fact that the other party was able to bring him the person right now and make such a promise clearly shows that they wanted to clear up the previous "misunderstanding" with him.

Instead of letting things drag on until he takes action later, which would only escalate the conflict between the two sides.

From this perspective, the two of them did indeed come with some sincerity.

With that in mind, Ji Haoyuan stopped being polite and instead squinted at Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie.

Seeing that both of them looked dejected, he simply said:

"I don't want to see them again."

By saying this, he was essentially giving the others a way out.

Tell them that this matter is now over.

Otherwise, if he keeps pressing this matter, it means that the conflict between the two sides is not over.

If there is an opportunity in the future, we will need to sort things out properly.

Doing so would undoubtedly escalate a conflict that was still manageable to an uncontrollable level.

This was clearly something that neither he, Qin Shan, nor Tang Luoyan wanted to see.

After all, for Ji Haoyuan, having such a good environment in the future is the best place for him to cultivate and improve his realm and strength.

As for the battles along the way, they are merely means to achieve this goal, not the real focus.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's request, Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan, along with Feng Zitao standing to the side, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan looked at Feng Zitao.

Feng Zitao understood.

He nodded slightly to the two men, then gave Ji Haoyuan a polite nod before grabbing them and disappearing from the scene once more.

Throughout the entire process, Ji Haoyuan did not utter a single word to Shang Huaishan and Shang Jie.

It was as if those two people were completely invisible.

However, this was not Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan's true purpose in coming here.

What just happened was merely to remove an obstacle in advance of what they were about to say.

Then Qin Shan took over the conversation again, smiling as he said to Ji Haoyuan:
“Junior Brother Ji, you should have already guessed why we came here, apart from what just happened.”

That's right.

Our true purpose in coming here is to invite Junior Brother Ji to join our Guangxuan Grotto-Heaven.

At this point, Qin Shan paused slightly before continuing:
"To be honest, Tang Shimei and I overheard some of your conversation just now."

"Here, on behalf of my master, I might as well state the conditions offered by Guangxuan Cave Heaven. I wonder what you think, Junior Brother Ji?" At this point, Lu Yuanshan and Dai Yunfang both knew that it was clearly impossible for them to stop Qin Shan and Tang Luoyan.

Fortunately.

Even after what just happened, Ji Haoyuan probably won't have a very good impression of them.

In addition, there is the connection between their master and the Tianyuan Ancestor.

Under the same conditions, Ji Haoyuan is more likely to choose their Cloud Void Cave.

The only thing that worries them now is the conditions offered by the other party.

If our conditions are really that different from theirs, then there might actually be some trouble.

At this moment, Qin Shan didn't wait for Ji Haoyuan's reply and went straight to the point:
"In addition to what Senior Brother Lu and the others just mentioned, our Guangxuan Cave Heaven will also grant you a spot to enter the Lesser Mystic Realm and another spot to go to the Myriad Laws Tower to comprehend the Myriad Laws Diagram."

In addition, as our master is a seventh-level alchemist, you will not need to worry about the pills you need for cultivation in the future.

You can obtain anything you need from your master.

how about it?
"Junior Brother Ji, wouldn't you like to seriously consider these terms?"

It must be said that the conditions Qin Shan offered were indeed higher than those Lu Yuanshan and his group could offer.

Putting aside the quota for entering the Lesser Mystic Realm, the quota that allows him to go to the Tower of Myriad Laws again to comprehend the Myriad Laws Diagram is extremely precious.

He now knows that the Myriad Laws Diagram is definitely a treasure of the Myriad Laws Holy Land, a treasure of the sect's highest level.

Being able to re-enter that place to comprehend the Dao would be of unprecedented help to him.

This alone surpasses all other so-called favorable conditions.

However, as I said before, taking someone as an apprentice is no small matter.

He also believed that in the future, other people would inevitably come to him.

There was absolutely no need for him to be in such a hurry and make a decision so early.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he gave Qin Shan and Lu Yuanshan a reply that he would have to think about it carefully.

In this regard.

Both Qin Shan and his group and Lu Yuanshan and his group were somewhat disappointed, but not entirely surprised.

At that moment, the group didn't bother them too much.

After urging Ji Haoyuan to reconsider, the two of them left Ji Haoyuan's side one after the other.

As Ji Haoyuan had predicted, things unfolded exactly as he had expected in the following days.

One after another, more people came to visit him at Leilin Peak.

Each person is a representative of their own unique world.

Among them were the two representatives of the grotto-heavens where Mahayana practitioners resided.

However, according to the two representatives of the Mahayana grotto-heavens, to enter their grotto-heavens, one might initially have to start as a registered disciple.

According to the rules of their two Mahayana grotto-heavens, under normal circumstances, any disciple qualified to enter the sect starts as a registered disciple.

But that's not the point. The point is that the benefits they can offer Ji Haoyuan are significantly less compared to the other major grotto-heavens.

Although the name of the Mahayana Cave Heaven Sect sounds impressive.

That sounds pretty classy.

But for Ji Haoyuan, it didn't have much practical significance.

After all, given his current level of cultivation, having a backer at the Dao Integration Heavenly Monarch level is more than enough.

What he was considering more was the status and benefits he could gain after joining the other side.

Judging from the current situation...

Of all the grotto-heavens, the one that offered him the best conditions was actually the Guangxuan Grotto-heaven.

However, to be honest, he didn't particularly want to join Guangxuan Cave Heaven.

Although the other party offered him the best terms and seemed to be the most sincere.

But there were unpleasant things that happened between them in the past.

Especially before he became the true successor.

To put it bluntly, the reason he encountered those troubles back then was all thanks to Qin Shan and his group.

Therefore.

Although he no longer cares about the matter now, it doesn't mean he has no lingering resentment.

In particular, the master of Guangxuan Cave Heaven had a rather unpleasant relationship with the Tianyuan Ancestor.

I should not have entered the Guangxuan Grotto Heaven, neither morally nor logically.

With this in mind, Ji Haoyuan had already made a preliminary decision.

If there are no more suitable grotto-heavens, then I will choose to become a disciple of the Cloud Void Grotto-heavens.

Although the other party's conditions were not as good as those offered by Guangxuan Cave Heaven, they were still sufficient for him.

Just as Ji Haoyuan was pondering this matter silently, a lucky cloud suddenly flew over from outside Lei Lin Peak where he was.

On atop that auspicious cloud sat a boy in white robes.
