Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

In the gloomy and heavy hall, apart from the hurried footsteps, there was only the faint sound of breathing.

Ji Boying followed the crowd into the hall and coincidentally ran into the two brothers from the Zhong family along the way.

Since that night, these two brothers had personally come to deliver the memorial tablet of that prodigal son to Ji Boying, showing their sincerity.

Following the principle of not offending people too much, Ji Boying only symbolically lectured the two of them before returning the memorial tablet of the prodigal son to them.

As for how the two of them would handle the memorial tablet, whether to keep it or destroy it, it was up to them. Ji Boying didn't care at all.

After nodding to the Zhong brothers, Ji Boying stood at the edge of the hall as usual.

Because personnel had been drawn from the six main halls twice before for the main hall, this time the hall was lacking a large number of elders and protectors.

Originally, the hall could have been filled to the brim, with even several long lines outside the hall. But now, all the personnel combined barely filled half the room.

And...

Except for Ji Boying, who was at the Divine Power Realm, there was not a single cultivator at the Soul Formation level in the entire hall.

Just like that...

After everyone entered the hall and waited for a moment or two, ripples appeared on the throne, and soon, Luo Qinghan, dressed in a majestic purple robe, walked out slowly.

Seeing this, Ji Boying couldn't help but take a few more glances at Luo Qinghan's cold and stunning face. Then, before the other party noticed, he quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on his own thoughts, observing his breath and calming his mind.

Just like when he used to secretly glance at his crush in school.

Um...

Why did he have such thoughts?

Ji Boying was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Just as his mind was wandering, Luo Qinghan's voice rang out.

The opening was still the same few formalities.

As for the rest of the content, it was quite simple.

It was nothing more than the main hall needing to reclaim spiritual veins from the Eastern, Southern, and Western continents.

After the war between the righteous and demonic factions, many individuals with selfish motives from both sides became Rogue Cultivators. The company had to send enough manpower to suppress them.

In addition, the miners who were mining the spiritual veins were prisoners of war and the lower-ranking disciples of the righteous path. If they were not supervised, they would also be a highly unstable time bomb.

In short, as the scale of the company's mining of spiritual veins grew larger, the company needed more manpower.

And the required manpower would be drawn from the six main halls.

Ji Boying stood by the side, listening to every word.

Because of his special identity, he was neither a protector nor an elder, let alone a sect master.

So...

He could choose whether to listen or not to the specific details and implementation of the meeting, as it had nothing to do with him.

Well, this was a good habit left over from his previous life as a working man who often had to work overtime and attend meetings.

Actually, Ji Boying had always been puzzled. Why couldn't meetings be separated? Especially when there was no need for interaction between two departments, why not just have separate meetings? Why did they have to mix together and take turns speaking?

Not only did it take up space, but it also lacked efficiency.

Of course, the meeting in the Thunder God Main Hall was an exception. There were still many interactions between the protectors and elders. If we were to say who was completely an outsider from start to finish, it would be Ji Boying.

Just like that... Ji Boying's mind wandered for nearly two hours, and the first agenda finally ended.

The second agenda had just begun...

Luo Qinghan threw out a bombshell.

Qinghua Divine Sect had secretly gathered the power of the Arctic Cold Continent and intended to meddle in the Central Continent.

Due to the heavy losses suffered by both the righteous and demonic factions in the previous war, Qinghua Divine Sect, as one of the top forces that had once stood on equal footing with the Five Continents, invading the Central Continent at this time would be a fatal blow to both the Ten Thousand Dao Trading Company and the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Especially now that the Ten Thousand Dao Trading Company had divided its six main halls into the Eastern, Southern, and Western continents, the headquarters had become an empty city.

As for the Heavenly Demon Hall, it was not in a good state either. The rapid expansion of their territory had also dispersed their forces in the three continents.

The central hall of Zhongzhou has also become a turtle shell without a turtle.

Faced with this situation.

The decision made by the central hall of the merchant guild is...

Rather than passively getting beaten, it's better to take the initiative to attack.

Three days later, the headquarters of the Wan Dao Merchant Guild and the Heavenly Demon Temple will form an alliance. Both sides will gather half of their forces, with each side having at least Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and they will go to the Arctic Cold Continent to actively engage in battle with the Qinghua Divine Sect.

After both sides have regained control over the Three Continents, they will then annex the Arctic Cold Continent in one fell swoop!

Hmm...

Although Ji Boying does not hold any official position, it is obvious that as a cultivator at the Divine Power Realm, Ji Boying is also included in this.

"Another mission..."

"With the little time left, this will only make things worse."

Ji Boying stood at the edge of the hall, murmuring softly.

Half an hour later...

The meeting finally ended.

Lu Qinghan, sitting on the main throne, glanced at Ji Boying on the edge of the crowd. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately said nothing and disappeared into the ripples behind him.

Ji Boying, because the meeting was over, followed the others and left.

During this time, the two brothers from the Zhong family deliberately followed his footsteps.

As both of them possessed half-step Divine Grade strength, it was obvious that they were assigned to the North Continent and needed to go with Ji Boying.

The two of them expressed their half-hearted intentions to follow Ji Boying and seek his protection.

Originally, Ji Boying didn't want to burden himself with them, but considering that his two wives still needed someone to take care of them after he left, although the Zhong brothers themselves were not present, the Zhong family in the Spiritual Treasure City was still a force to be reckoned with. Asking them to help take care of the shop and suppress any troublemakers who might come to the shop was not a bad choice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Boying gladly accepted the two of them.

Above the boundless sea...

Wan Dao Divine Lord, dressed in green, transformed into a handsome young man, stood side by side with the Heavenly Demon Temple Lord, who was clad in blood-red robes, exuding a domineering and powerful aura.

"Is it too hasty to attack the Qinghua Divine Sect at this time?"

The gentle voice of Wan Dao Divine Lord sounded.

The Heavenly Demon Temple Lord chuckled lightly.

"This was originally part of the plan. Qi Lao said that everything should go with the flow."

Wan Dao Divine Lord said indifferently.

"But this is your plan, not mine."

"It doesn't matter anymore. From the beginning, I have decided that whether you join or not, I will annihilate the Qinghua Divine Sect."

Upon hearing this, a cold expression appeared on Wan Dao Divine Lord's face.

"In that case, why drag me down with you?"

Wan Dao Divine Lord chuckled and said,

"The losses in the battle between righteousness and evil have exceeded my expectations. Dragging you down is a last resort."

"However..."

"If you want to protect yourself, do you think the Qinghua Divine Sect will agree?"

"The Wan Dao Merchant Guild, the Heavenly Demon Temple, and the Qinghua Divine Sect were originally in a delicate balance of power. Now that we are both weakened, although the Qinghua Divine Sect does not have that person in charge, do you think they will let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"Instead of waiting for disaster, why not join forces with me at this time and completely eliminate the Qinghua Divine Sect as a potential threat?"

Wan Dao Divine Lord glanced at the blood-robed man beside him, and after a moment of flickering in his eyes, he disappeared directly in the boundless sea.

Seeing this, the blood-robed man just chuckled softly.

He looked deeply towards the north and then disappeared into the void as well...
