Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 693 - 576: All Beings Alliance

"To hold the position of Vice Sect Leader at such a young age, it seems the Shenxiao Sect Master values him greatly."

Upon hearing that Qi Xiu, so young, is already the Vice Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, the Dao Experts present all showed a hint of astonishment and disbelief.

In many Ancient Sect Nobility, the Vice Sect Leader is not merely an assistant to the Supreme Sect Leader.

Often, the Vice Sect Leader is also the successor in training, a candidate the Sect Master intends to cultivate and promote.

It also signifies that this person has the potential to achieve the rank of Primordial Spirit True Honor!

So, hearing that Qi Xiu is now the Vice Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, everyone was naturally surprised.

After all, Dongfang Qing is only a thousand years old and in the prime of his life as a Primordial Spirit True Honor. Promoting Qi Xiu to Vice Sect Leader at this time inevitably prompts speculation about deeper intentions.

Upon knowing Qi Xiu is the Vice Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, the onlookers also showed more respect in their gazes towards him.

"It is said that during the last venture to the Southern Ming Wilderness, Vice Master Qi outperformed all others, taking the lead with his cultivation reaching the Dao Body Realm.

Under the rank of Primordial Spirit True Honor, there are less than a handful in Central Earth who can rival him."

"Indeed, it seems none other than him would be suited as the next Supreme Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect."

Listening to the whispers around, Qi Xiu's expression remained unchanged. Having held high office for nearly a year now, his grace and demeanor had evolved somewhat from the past.

His gaze softly swept over those present; an invisible force of oppression descended and made everyone involuntarily close their mouths.

This was the dominance brought by power and position.

This assembly was attended by high-level figures from various sects and Ancient Sects.

But compared to Qi Xiu's status as Vice Sect Leader, many were lesser.

Moreover, Qi Xiu's commanding cultivation realm inadvertently exerted considerable pressure on them.

"Vice Master Qi's words are very sensible, and we also think it's worth a try.

However, our Ancient Sect Nobility each act independently, not as cooperatively as those Military Governors.

In my view, someone must take the lead, gather collective strength, to compel those Military Governors to restrain themselves.

Otherwise, it's hard to subdue these war-crazed madmen."

The speaker was an elder Daoist with an ethereal demeanor, looking kind and amiable.

But there was no one to his left or right, seemingly avoiding him.

"Old He of Swift Blade Sect in Yanyu Province always appears friendly, polite, and amiable outwardly, but inwardly he is extremely ruthless.

Once he targets someone, they are toyed with and discarded once he is bored, ultimately ending them.

He is a figure more sinister than the Demonic Path."

Old He's suggestion won the agreement of other Dao Experts, as the Sect Aristocracy differed greatly from Military Governors with established hierarchical systems.

Although the Sect Aristocracy sometimes had petty conflicts, if unable to cooperate comprehensively, they would struggle to counter the bloodthirsty Military Governors.

To delineate boundaries for them, one must possess convincing strength.

"Each province can have Ancient Sect Nobility lead and establish the All Beings Alliance, leveraging the province's strength to pressure the Military Governors.

These war-crazed individuals aim to contest for the Imperial Divine Artifact, take Shangjing, not to oppose the world.

Reaching their positions, weighing pros and cons becomes almost instinctual.

When the time comes, they will inevitably seek peace proactively, to avoid losing ground in their battle against other factions."

Qi Xiu proposed once more.

"The All Beings Alliance, protecting all beings, a coalition under the city, an excellent proposal."

Upon hearing the proposal, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.

Those attending this conference were high-ranking members of Ancient Sect Nobility, quick to grasp ideas fully.

Qi Xiu's suggestion was soon carried forward, and discussions began on organizing the All Beings Alliance.

The discussion lasted over a month.

Ultimately, after voting approval by all, the formation of the All Beings Alliance was finalized.

Within the Thirteen Great Provinces, with the province's Ten Great Sects as the foundation and Various Sect Aristocracy as support, the All Beings Alliance was formed.

Each province's leader can be nominated or self-recommended.

The All Beings Alliance Leader has no binding power over its members, serving only to represent the province's cultivation community to pressure the Military Governors and compel them to sheathe their blades and cease wanton slaughter.

On the surface, the All Beings Alliance Leader seemed pushed upfront to withstand pressure, lacking any authority over alliance members.

But the truly insightful understood.

The All Beings Alliance Leader's seemingly arduous role was indeed a prime position for accumulating Human Path Merit.

Eliminating slaughter in a province, saving myriad lives.

This was a tremendous merit.

Many high-ranking Dao Experts in attendance were aware of the Dao Alliance.

If the All Beings Alliance can truly influence the Military Governors to cease unnecessary slaughter.

It would be a significant achievement in the eyes of the Dao Alliance.

Though becoming the All Beings Alliance Leader requires bearing pressure from the Military Governors.

If successful, the reward is exceedingly rich.

Therefore, almost as soon as this proposal was finalized, Ancient Sect Nobility in each province began stirring, contemplating how to vie for this position.

With a way to address the Military Governors' wanton slaughter, this secret meeting dispersed, and the Dao Experts hurried back to their own realms, preparing the foundational work for the All Beings Alliance.

Leaving the bamboo grove, Qi Xiu's strides moved swiftly; with a single step, the ground seemed to coil, and he was instantly thousands of miles away, so fast the eyes struggled to follow, unable to discern the trajectory.
