C3481 Ten Thousand Years of House Arrest
The battle between Ninth Gate and the Disciple Hall lasted for forty ten days. Faang Haoyun finally gave the order to stop, but Ninth Gate's army still surrounded the southern gate, so as long as Faang Haoyun gave the order, they could attack the Disciple Hall at any time.
The reason why they had given orders to stop their advance was because of the two other giants, who had sent messengers over to Ninth Gate to mediate the situation.
However, the situation was still extremely tense. The Ninth Gate continued to encircle and annihilate the various fortresses and strongholds in every corner of the Thousand-Star Universe, and not a single speck of remnant energy was allowed, tightly sealing off the range of the Disciple Hall's movement in the heart area.
On the forty-fourth day of the war, Faang Haoyun finally sat down and started a conversation with the messengers from Shilo Cult and Shilo Cult.
No matter how much doubt and dissatisfaction Faang Haoyun had towards Meng Fan, when he was talking with the two emissaries, Liu Tie was there all the time. Furthermore, Faang Haoyun displayed a great reliance on Meng Fan, constantly showing how much affection the two of them had for each other, and repeatedly explained how the Ninth Gate had attacked because he had attacked Grand Elder Red Cauldron first.
They held the upper hand in public opinion.
On the forty-fifth day, with the efforts of Shilo Cult and Sword Sealing Pavilion, six Elders from each and every place finally gathered. With them as the envoys' representatives, they arrived at Ninth Gate and discussed the matters of peace.
This time, Faang Haoyun showed his magnanimity.
With Faang Haoyun's order, even the center of Disciple Hall would be occupied. In this kind of situation, Faang Haoyun was willing to directly exchange half of the territory he had occupied for Disciple Hall, but this time, with Ninth Gate alone, the entire army, as well as the elders and disciples, would need some time to return. Thus, the territory of Disciple Hall could not be returned immediately, and it would take sixty days for them to return.
As for the other half of the territory, it was mainly the important areas, major towns, and the biggest powers that were under the command of the Disciple Hall. Faang Haoyun started to calculate, and in some of the territories that intersected with the Ninth Gate, Faang Haoyun asked for surrender, without any unnecessary words, he did not try to put on an act by waving a banner of morality. Faang Haoyun said that it was the compensation for the Disciple Hall, because the Ninth Gate also used up a lot of money, so compensation was a must.
From this, it could be seen how tough Faang Haoyun was.
There were also other territories that Faang Haoyun had cut off using various methods. Some of the territories, such as Faang Haoyun, directly signed a trust agreement that ranged from fifty thousand to three hundred thousand years old, and some places, Faang Haoyun had to obtain the authority to conduct business, he even drew a line, the territory that originally belonged to Disciple Hall located to the east of this line, had around a dozen or so pieces that were scattered across the border. The Ninth Gate s and Disciple Hall were required to be jointly administered, and both sides could send their governors and commanders.
This was a very unequal treaty. Not only had the Disciple Hall lost a large number of elders and disciples during the war, many strongholds and strongholds had also been burnt and burned all over the place. The original sphere of influence had also been cut into thirty percent by the Ninth Gate.
The six Disciple Hall Elders who had arrived at the Ninth Gate, were not existences on the level of Disciple Hall leaders. The highest cultivation level among them was merely Celestial King of the Six Tribulations, and the other five were all Celestial King of the Five Tribulations. The Disciple Hall s were indeed beheaded, so when these elders arrived at the Ninth Gate, more accurately speaking, they were not here to negotiate or to accept the agreement.
But there were Shilo Cult s.
They continued to act as peacemakers, hoping that the Ninth Gate would give way.
No one wished for the Ninth Gate to suddenly grow by relying on this battle, and even more so, no one wished for the balance that the four giants had originally maintained to be broken.
Faang Haoyun's attitude was very tough. If he didn't accept, then he would continue to fight.
On the forty-seventh day, Faang Haoyun ordered the troops gathered around Disciple Hall to attack.
As soon as this order was given, the other forces started to panic.
On the forty-ninth day, Ninth Gate's great army destroyed Disciple Hall's southern gate of the spruce forest, and their army advanced.
In the afternoon of the same day, an influential elder of the Great Elder finally came to Disciple Hall, and an elder of the Great Elder Celestial King of Seven Turbulences. Before this, he had always lived in seclusion within the Ghost manor, but this time, he came to Ninth Gate and expressed his acceptance of Faang Haoyun's agreement.
Annihilation, or survival, Disciple Hall made a choice.
However, everyone understood that there was still hope in Disciple Hall.
They also had a Celestial King of Ten Tribulations, Peak Life .
There were many territories, many doyens.
As long as he was alive, there was always a chance.
This made the elders of the Disciple Hall puzzled. They also searched everywhere for the Holy Spirit and made the Shilo Cult and Sword Sealing Pavilion that they had originally intended to watch fight between the two tigers feel at a loss as well. However, the ones who were the most confused were still Faang Haoyun and the Ninth Gate.
They had been waiting for the Holy Spirit to appear and engage in a great battle.
But the war did not happen.
The Holy Spirit seemed to have disappeared.2
In fact, no matter how tough Faang Haoyun was during the peace talks, from his heart, he hoped to be able to make it happen. Because, even though he looked tough on the surface, his heart still had a string, and he didn't know when the Holy Spirit would appear.
This became a huge mystery of the Thousand-Star Universe.
Ninth Gate began to withdraw troops, but according to the rules, during the withdrawal process, the territory which was already occupied by the Ninth Gate would have to be continued for 60 more days. In these 60 days, Ninth Gate had done many things in these territories, the most important of which was to use the various buildings, cities, fortresses, fortresses, and use them as spoils of war.
They even captured more than forty million prisoners of war, and as slaves, they were transported to all parts of the Ninth Gate.
The war was over.
This great battle that shook the entire Thousand-Star Universe had only lasted for a very short period of fifty days, but it had already completely changed the Thousand-Star Universe.
Pill Cauldron Hall.
Faang Haoyun came alone and sat in front of Meng Fan.
Meng Fan said lightly, "Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Faang Haoyun narrowed his eyes, "Many years later, if others bring up this war again, they will think that I was the one who planned it. From the beginning to the end, it was all my means, and you, as my most important helper in this war, will go down in history."
"To be able to turn a disadvantage into a complete victory, Senior Brother's methods are indeed extraordinary." Meng Fan was very calm.
Faang Haoyun was silent for a moment, and said: "Weiyang, you have a secret, I can feel it, but if you don't say it, I won't be able to ask. This war started in a very mysterious way, and the later generations will think that everything was part of my plan, and only we will be clear in our hearts, and when things happen suddenly, I will be caught unawares, I can't punish you, and I can't lock you up in the dungeon. If I do that, other people will feel guilty, and feel that there's something behind it. Furthermore, ever since you have stepped into the sect, you have indeed been unable to find any flaws in your actions. I have wholeheartedly devoted my attention to the sect's welfare, and I am able to stand in my position today, so your first merit is reasonable, so I cannot imprison you here. However, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of the Pill Cauldron Hall again, nor are you allowed to stand for ten thousand years. "
Meng Fan nodded. "Alright."
