All the sects then gathered beside the next Sealed Space, just like before. This time though, Krune and Iem didn't see Bianca on the Flower River's side. Still, Pharan was there with some of the old members too. As for the Three Peaks, Foltan was leading it once more. From the looks on his face, he seemed to be quite in a good mood.
That was to be expected. That's because Dolmen's group, the one that entered the Foundation Space, was still allowed to bring back some good things. It couldn't compare to Krune's group, but the higher-ups of the Three Peaks Sect were pleased nonetheless. Besides, the message that Dolmen's group brought back about the powers of the Foundation Space was of great help. They, too, intend to negotiate with the guys in there.
Krune doesn't know, but the Three Peaks already contacted the Sky Shifting Sect to talk about this issue for when that Sealed Space opens again. It is just that it won't happen anytime soon.
Suddenly, someone from the Flower River Sect came to talk with them.
"Oh, it's been some time since I've seen you, Sect Master Franlia."
The one who came forward just so happened to be the Flower River Sect Master. She came forward with a smile as if a war wasn't going on at all.
Franlia smiled too and complimented back.
"Indeed. Usually, I only send Tosely to take care of these deals. However, we have some shining stars on our side, so I had to come to make sure everything would be fine. I hope Sect Master Binmia doesn't mind it."
Binmia shook her had.
"Of course not. As long as the agreement is kept, I don't mind how many comes. Just remember that only three Divinity Realm cultivator/demon beasts can participate in it."
"Don't worry, my Sky Shifting Sect will keep its side of the agreement as long as the other two sects do so."
Binmia nodded, satisfied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA moment after, a man with several scales on his body approached the two of them. Just like Binmia and Franlia, he was also a Sect Master. To be more specific, the Three Peaks Sect Master, Aragan Dianol. It was the pure-blooded Earth Dragon.
"Well, well. It seems like us man won't be on the top for long. Three Sects at war and the Sect Masters of two of them are women. It is really rare to see the two of you together, isn't it?"
Binmia and Franlia then greeted Aragan and talked about trivial things for a few minutes. Seeing that scene would make one wonder whether these three sects were really at odds or not.
Finally, Aragan decided to enter into the real subject that brought him to this trip.
"I already talked with Sect Master Franlia about it. Now, only Sect Master Binmia is remaining. I believe you already know about the Foundation Space, which is full of resources that our three sects need, right?"
Binmia nodded. However, she didn't hear about it from her daughter, as Franlia and Aragan believed, but from the kid called 'Zule' instead. Of course, she wouldn't say anything about the Soul Fragment that they got in the Demon Beast's head.
"Yes. I got to know about it, and I'm also very interested. However, the only ones who entered were your two sects' groups, not mine. That being said, I'm a little lost about this topic."
Aragan and Franlia already expected those words.
"There isn't much to be said. You just need to know that it will be extremely beneficial for us three. Franlia and I already reached an agreement, and we would like Sect Master Binmia to agree with it too."
Binmia then pondered a bit before saying.
"If I'm not wrong, you want to have a cease-fire for the war until we have harvested everything from the Foundation Space, is that correct?"
Aragan smiled after hearing that.
"That's indeed correct. It goes without saying that the things we can get from there might even surpass the total value of all Top Quality Godly Energy Veins together. After all, there is a chance that these Godly Veins appeared precisely because of the Demon Beast. At the moment, we were able to hold the news and prevent anyone from finding it. That's also why I came out to talk with you this time. If we play things correctly, we won't have to be afraid of being found by any of the other powers in Zamaria."
Binmia immediately nodded.
"I agree with your thoughts. If we call them out, the rewards will be even further split. In fact, if it reaches the ears of any of those Nascent God Monsters from outside, then all powers in our Zamaria Planet will be cast aside. I don't want such a thing to happen at all."
For Binmia, it wasn't just the Foundation Space, but the entire Demon Beast itself. With that Fragment of a soul, they have a great chance of reaping more rewards than anyone. Of course, Binmia will need to play her cards correctly for that to happen.
"It's good to see that everyone is on the same page."
Aragan then turned around before calling someone out.
"Saitik, come forward."
One of the God Foundation Realm members of the Three Peaks Sect immediately appeared.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Aragan nodded and ordered right after.
"Go to the front lines and spread the news. Our three sects have reached an agreement about the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. The war will now be put on hold during the negotiations. Tell everyone to cease any attacks."
Saitik nodded without asking anything before leaving straight away.
Binmia and Franlia then did the same thing and sent their own representatives to have the war stopped. As for all the outsiders participating in it, they would be put on hold as well.
"What about the rest of the Sealed Spaces? There are still a lot of Top Quality Godly Stones inside them."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBinmia laughed as she said.
"What is there to be said? Let's just keep the original arrangement. The only exception will be the Sealed Space with the Teleport Formation that leads into the Demon Beast's corpse. What do you say?"
Aragan and Franlia nodded. The remaining Top Quality Godly Stones were still a great attraction for all three sects. Not to mention that the special arrangement of competition for it had been working quite well too.
"It seems good. However, there is one thing that I don't understand."
Aragan looked at Franlia before asking.
"Sect Master Franlia, how did you know that the teleport formation was there?"
Franlia had long since expected that question. One must remember that it was her group who first went to that floating island, after all.
"If you are asking if we did know about that place before, the answer is no. It was due to a coincidence that my sect's group found that place. However, don't expect me to tell you how that happened. To be honest, I don't think there are other entrances to the demon beast's body anyway. As for whether you believe or not, that will be up to you."
Aranga shrugged his shoulder after hearing that. If he was in her place, he would have said exactly the same thing. Who would be idiotic enough to expose their own secrets?
Binmia, however, didn't seem to care too much about it.
"Alright, the sealed space chaotic barrier is almost stable enough. Everyone, let's go to our own positions and wait for it to open."
Just like that, she put an end to those questions and went with her group to their side. Aragan was a little puzzled as to why Binmia let this topic die this easily, but there was nothing he could do if she didn't want to pursue it. Without another choice, he brought his group to their position as well.
Franlia smiled and did the same thing. A few hours later, the chaotic barrier was finally ready for everyone to enter.
"It's the same rules as before. Get as many Top Quality Godly Energy Stones as possible. The element doesn't matter. If you don't come out in a week, then you will be left behind. As for the other groups, get rid of them if it is beneficial. If not, leave them and focus on the Stones. Now go!"
Krune's group then passed through the barrier with the other two, quickly disappearing inside.
