Chapter 5082 — The Situation and the Plan

That was the truth. If the Primordial Alliance truly meant to move against the mortal world, even Wei Zhao could not have stopped them. During the month he had spent recovering his strength, the cultivation powers of the mortal world could have been slaughtered ten times over.
"That won't do. At this rate, sooner or later there'll be a second and a third Snow Valley. Mutual grudges will only deepen, and when the time comes, even those who don't want hostility will become enemies." Yu Bing frowned.
"Exactly. If too many people really die, there'll have to be blood for blood. Reaching a reconciliation would become impossible." Wu Chengtian and the others nodded one after another.
Though they were unhappy with the Primordial Alliance, they had never considered an all-out war with it. Even with a top-tier expert like Wei Zhao on their side, the Primordial Alliance's overall strength far surpassed the mortal world's. A real war would inevitably devastate the mortal world—an outcome no one wanted to see.
"Strictly speaking, the Primordial Alliance has already suffered three consecutive losses at my hands alone. Now that I'm sending those four Qiangkun Sect men back, it's bound to draw attention. It's time to have a proper talk with the people who actually have a voice in this—we absolutely cannot let them keep running amok like this." Wei Zhao said in a solemn voice.
Originally, the mortal world had no strength to negotiate with the Primordial Alliance, but now that he—an anomaly—had appeared, there was a possibility of sitting down together at the negotiating table. After all, the people of the Primordial Alliance weren't fools. An all-out war would bring them no benefit whatsoever; it would only mean more of their people falling at Wei Zhao's hands—a loss that far outweighed any gain.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what we were thinking." Wu Chengtian and the others nodded repeatedly. What they had originally envisioned was using a primal spirit cultivator to deter the other side. Little did they expect that their own leader Wei Zhao was that mysterious primal spirit cultivator—which made things all the more convenient.
"But where do we find these people?" Kang Xiaofeng asked.
"That's simple. Xue Jianming is locked up in the Mysterious Investigation Bureau. A little interrogation and we'll know." Qiu Lingshan said.
"No need for the trouble. They're actually in Shennongjia—that's the entrance to the teleportation formation leading to the Primordial Small World. Go there and we'll definitely find them. But from what I know, the Primordial Alliance is a very loose organization, and those who came out for this mortal-world trial probably don't include anyone from the true upper echelon. I just don't know whether anyone among them actually has the authority to make decisions." Wei Zhao frowned slightly.
Everyone was rendered somewhat speechless. The most infuriating thing would be if they reached an agreement with the Primordial Alliance, only to find that the person had no real say, and the other Primordial sects continued to do as they pleased—still abducting people everywhere like the Qiangkun Sect. That would truly make them spit blood.
"What's the use of all this wild guessing among yourselves? Isn't there a ready-made gatekeeper outside? Asking him has to be more reliable than your blind speculation." Ying Ziyu curled her lip.
"Right!" Everyone's eyes lit up at once. Wei Zhao immediately called Fei Yangnian in and asked, "Who is the one in charge of your Primordial Alliance?"
