After some polite words, there were only a few people who responded. I felt rather awkward. Although I had experienced this kind of situation many times, it was the first time that I had personally organized such a meeting.
Seeing that the crowd wasn't interested in polite words, I cleared my throat and directly talked about the matter at hand.
The current situation was obvious. The human race was weak and their strength was scattered. They were unable to resist the demonic beasts.
This time's persuasion was to call for the great sects to work together as one. Secondly, it was to come up with a plan. It would be best if all the powers were united. That way, they could work together.
After summarizing the main topic of the meeting, there was no lack of quick-witted people in the crowd. After listening, they loudly said, "According to Brother Zhou's plan, we should form an alliance."
This person's conclusion was correct. The current plan was for all the sects to form an alliance and bury the hatchet. They would join hands to fight against the enemy. Only then would they be able to display their greatest strength.
However, this was only my personal opinion. It would depend on the opinions of Mount Longhu and Mount Lao.
These two sects were the strongest powers in this meeting, so their words carried more weight.
After I finished speaking, I turned to look at them to ask for their opinion.
It wasn't much different from what I had expected. Since they had come here, they also had the intention of cooperating. The Great Elder was a man of few words. He didn't say anything and only nodded at me. Liu Zongcheng also gave a definite answer after a brief discussion with the other elders.
Since Mount Longhu and Mount Lao had made their positions clear, the others didn't have any objections and immediately approved the proposal to form an alliance.
After the alliance was formed, the next issue was naturally to elect a leader.
The purpose of forming an alliance was to gather strength. Thus, there had to be a person who could be trusted by all the sects. Otherwise, the alliance would be meaningless.
In my opinion, since Celestial Teacher Zhang of Mount Longhu and the Sect Master of Mount Lao weren't here, the title of the alliance leader would naturally fall to Spiritual Master Guan.
Although the strength of the Divination Faction couldn't compare to that of Mount Longhu and Mount Lao, it was still very famous in the cultivation world.
Apart from that, he was also a Sect Master and was familiar with the management of a leader. He wouldn't be at a loss if he took over the position of the alliance leader.
As I thought about this, I voiced out my suggestion.
After the crowd heard this, they did not express any opinion. However, Immortal Guan voiced out his objection.
"Nephew's words are incorrect. In terms of cultivation, I can't convince the masses. In terms of status, I can't compare to the fellow Daoists of Mount Longhu and Mount Lao. I'm not suitable for the position of alliance leader.
Moreover, the alliance this time is the Sorcerer Dao Alliance. Be it me or the other Dao Sect Senior Brothers, we don't have much interaction with the Sorcerer Tribe. Only you, Nephew Zhou, have a cultivation base at such a young age and have the identity of the Sorcerer Tribe's Saint. I think the position of the Alliance Leader belongs to you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zongcheng stood up and said, "Martial Uncle Guan is right. The Sorcerer Alliance was originally established by Mr. Zhou, so the position of Alliance Leader naturally belongs to Mr. Zhou. Everyone on Laoshan supports Mr. Zhou."
These words made Laoshan's position clear.
Following that, the Great Elder of Mount Longhu also voiced out his support. As for the Sorcerer Tribe, I would have full authority to represent them. As such, there were no more objections. Everyone cupped their fists at me and said, "Alliance Leader."
In reality, I had no intention of taking the position of Alliance Leader. However, what Immortal Guan said was right. Between the Sorcerer Tribe and the Daoists, I was the only person that they recognized. If I didn't take the position of Alliance Leader, no matter who took the position, there would be people from both factions who would be dissatisfied. If there was a conflict because of this, the already loose alliance would immediately face the risk of dispersing.
After bracing myself to take the position of Alliance Leader, I needed to brainstorm and discuss the strategy to deal with the monsters.
The Sorcerer Tribe had previously proposed this issue. Now that it was brought up again, the other factions didn't have much of an impression of the monsters. After thinking for a while, most of them seconded the proposal.
Thus, based on the original proposal of the Sorcerer Tribe, the scale of the alliance was expanded by several times. They selected a few important locations to build defense points for the human race, and the various factions would be stationed there.
The purpose was the same as before. First, it was to attract more cultivators to gather there and expand their strength. Second, it was to take in refugees and provide shelter for them.
After discussing the specific details, this matter was finally decided. Then, it was the specific location, the people who would be stationed there, the time for changing the guards, and other issues in the implementation process.
After spending several hours to confirm these issues, I realized that I, the so-called 'Alliance Leader', had become a role similar to a mascot. I didn't need to be involved in the specific matters, and the decision was made by everyone's brainpower. It didn't have much to do with me. After the specific implementation, I could only stay in the headquarters, which was the Medicine King Valley. Nominally, I was in charge of the center, but in reality, I had nothing to do.
I hadn't expected this situation. Although I was a little dissatisfied, the Sorcerer Tribe and the Daoists all had the same idea. Thus, I couldn't say anything to refute.
After the discussion ended, according to the previous plan, everyone got busy and started to work step by step. I was the only one who couldn't think of anything to do.
Fortunately, while I was idling, the Sound Transmitting Talisman in Xiang Liu's bag received a message. I took it out and saw that the person who sent the message was Xu Kun, and the message only had four short words.
"Zhou Yi, save me."
Seeing these four words, my heart suddenly quivered. Xu Kun was obviously in trouble.
I immediately sent a message back to him, but I didn't receive a response. It was obvious that the situation on his side was extremely urgent and he couldn't reply at all.
Since I couldn't get any effective information, I could only speculate on my own.
I had contacted him not long ago. He should still be in the Xu family at this time.
According to my understanding, although the Xu family wasn't considered a super Metaphysical family, they were famous in the Metaphysical Association. They had a deep foundation and many cultivators above the Yang Spirit realm. At this time, Xu Kun had sent me a message asking for help. It was obvious that the Xu family had encountered a strong enemy and couldn't resist at all.
Based on the current situation, it was very likely that they had encountered some powerful Monster race.
I briefly thought about this matter. Seeing that the others were busy and only I had nothing to do, I simply told the fatty about the matter. I told him to keep an eye on the situation here and to keep in touch with me at any time. Then, I prepared to leave for the Xu family.
The fatty looked a little hesitant. It was obvious that he didn't approve of me leaving alone. However, in the Alliance, there was really no use for me. Xu Kun's situation was very urgent and couldn't be delayed. Thus, after hesitating for a moment, the fatty nodded and agreed. However, he told me to be careful.
After leaving the Medicine King Valley, I flew at full speed to Jinling.
The Xu family was a Metaphysical family that had been in Jinling for many years. Previously, Xu Kun had told me the specific address, which saved me the trouble of finding it.
After several hours, I arrived in Jinling. After identifying the direction, I headed in the direction of the Xu family.
Just as I was approaching the Xu family's house, the Sound Transmitting Talisman in Xiangliu's bag vibrated again. I quickly took it out to check. It was Xu Kun. He told me that the Xu family had suffered many casualties. To save his life, the elders of the family had placed him in a secret chamber.
The situation was very critical. The other members of the Xu family were fighting with the Monster race outside, ready to die. At this time, he was also seriously injured and almost couldn't mobilize his Taoist energy. After accumulating it for a long time, he sent me this message.
After receiving the message, I sped up.
Although I didn't have any friendship with the Xu family, I admired Xu Kun very much. Secondly, saving the Xu family was an opportunity to win over the Metaphysical families to join the Witchcraft Alliance.
In less than an hour, I arrived at the Xu family's place.
Even from afar, I could sense a few wisps of dense Demonic Qi.
There weren't many Monster race members that had invaded the Xu family's house. There were only five or six of them, but their cultivation bases were at the Yang Spirit Complete Realm, close to the Ascension Realm.
