Chapter 735 Suppression, Counterattack, Expressions, and the True Feelings Beneath Words

After the Demon Ancestor's statement,the entire arena remained silent. People exchanged glances, while Yu Shan, unconcerned, looked around at everyone, for their Immortal Realm was the one in need of assistance.Then, Liu Sheng suddenly said, "The Heavenly Dao power of the New World suffered immense damage in resisting the attack of the Heavenly Realm's Dao Source. Natural disasters have been relentless within the realm, and there has been no end in sight. The New World needs at least 3 million units of Dou Qi Luck for assistance."Huo Xun, sitting next to Liu Sheng, quickly said, "Our realm can provide support."Liu Sheng glanced at Huo Xun, his expression displeased.This made Huo Xun's heart skip a beat. What did this mean?He didn't understand.But a few seconds later, he realized.Huo Xun clearly saw that both Liu Sheng and Yu Shan's gazes were fixed on Ava.Ava's gaze swept across the entire arena.Some stared blankly, others bowed their heads, some were hostile to themselves; no one offered her any kindness.Her eyes flickered slightly; she immediately remembered what Li An had told her before: "Are you going alone?"She retorted, "I recently slew three kings for the mortal realm."Suddenly.Yu Shan spoke up: "So what if you slew three clones? Anyone who didn't know better would think you slew the real thing!""Here, who hasn't contributed to the mortal realm?"Huo Xun instinctively shrank back.The tension rose.Yu Shan leaned back in his chair, head tilted back, and said nonchalantly, "To help you advance to the Monarch Realm, the Human Realm sacrificed tens of millions of Dou of Qi.""Isn't that enough to satisfy your appetite?""Sometimes, I wonder, why?""Just because she's a woman, pretty? Does that mean she can enter the Monarch Realm first?""Does everyone still remember that on the Immortal Realm battlefield, you helped the Heng Clan shatter Mr. Zhou's spatial avatar, greatly influencing the situation and causing countless deaths and injuries!""You deserve at least half the credit for the Immortal Realm's current state!""I request that the Demon Realm provide the Immortal Realm with 5 million Dou of Qi!"The attack had begun.Most importantly, Yu Shan's first glance wasn't at Li An, but at Mr. Tianming, who was silently stirring his drink, his lips pursed.At that moment, the astute Li An understood.It wasn't just aimed at the Demon Ancestor, but also at him.Why should the Demon Ancestor be allowed to reach the Monarch Realm? Was Yu Shan unable to kill three Monarchs at that time?Li An's gaze fell on Liu Sheng, whose eyes were also cold.She was also dissatisfied with Li An's decision at the time.Li An wasn't angry; instead, he began to reflect.After he completely ascended to the Heavenly Dao, almost overnight, everyone's attitude towards him changed, to varying degrees.Was it because they felt he could threaten their lives?Would Yu Shan and Liu Sheng harbor hostility towards him because of this?Impossible. Wasn't Mr. Tianming stronger than Yu Shan? Why wasn't he hostile towards Mr. Tianming?Li An believed that the Immortal Ancestor wouldn't have such petty thoughts. He and Liu Sheng were simply discussing the matter at hand, and also testing Li An.Now, everyone doesn't treat you like a child anymore; you're still the leader of the mortal realm.Can you handle it?Li An lowered his head and smiled slightly."I don't see anything wrong with allowing the Demon Ancestor to advance to the Monarch Realm."The first point: authority.A person of authority cannot easily admit their mistakes, as this would only diminish their credibility.But should they simply turn a blind eye to errors?That's also impossible.Li An continued, "However, I believe the Immortal Ancestor is right. If the Demon Ancestor hadn't intervened for the Heng Clan, the Immortal Realm wouldn't have suffered such a great loss.""However, 5 million is indeed a large sum. In my opinion, 3 million should be more appropriate.""The Demon Realm will provide 3 million in aid to the Immortal Realm for its recovery."This matter has nothing to do with Li An, but he can use it to compensate the Immortal Realm."Demon Ancestor, what do you think?"Li An looked at the Demon Ancestor.The Demon Ancestor pondered for a few seconds, knowing resistance was futile. She shrugged and said, "How dare this humble woman have any objections?"The 3 million arrived, but Yu Shan didn't seem entirely satisfied. He suddenly asked, "Then, Venerable Li, who is the next candidate to advance to the Monarch Realm?"Li An smiled, "Whoever has rendered the greatest service to the mortal realm.""Who do you all think is suitable?"The old foxes all shook their heads, indicating they would follow Venerable Li's instructions.No one didn't want to advance further, so naturally they wouldn't actively vote for someone else.The ball was back in Li An's court. His smile was somewhat stiff. Mr. Tianming continued stirring his drink, indicating he left the matter entirely to Li An.After a long silence, Li An suddenly said, "Besides these two, which other realm in the Immortal Realm or the New World needs assistance?"Everyone shook their heads.Li An said calmly, "Alright, the Demon Realm will contribute 3 million to aid the Immortal Realm. The aid from the New World and the remaining 2 million from the Immortal Realm will be provided personally by me." Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces varied.Some were thoughtful, some were puzzled, and some nodded.The Demon Ancestor glanced at Li An, her mind racing. She knew very well that this meeting had been designed to suppress her from the start.Perhaps it was her style of doing things, perhaps her attitude, or other reasons that made everyone think she was untrustworthy.This made the Demon Ancestor somewhat sad, but she had nothing to say.She had even prepared herself to contribute several million more in battle luck.Unexpectedly, Li An seemed unwilling to cause anyone distress and decided to take on this expense himself.The Demon Ancestor began to worry.This decision was not the style of a traditional leader; it might make some people think Li An was incompetent.She sat beside Li An, her gaze sweeping over the others present. The old foxes remained expressionless, their intentions unfathomable.Suddenly.Li An, seated at the head of the table, abruptly changed the subject, saying seriously, "In the course of the war in the human realm so far, some have indeed made great contributions, but others' contributions do not match their rewards.""But none of that matters!"Li An shook his head, saying, "To put it bluntly,""A few million dou of fortune are utterly insignificant. Whether you give it to me or I give it to him, it will have no profound impact on the war between the human realm and the celestial realm!""Master Tianming once ascended to heaven and told me that the total fortune of a kingdom in the celestial realm is roughly 20 billion dou!""20 billion!"Upon hearing this,all the powerful figures present showed expressions of astonishment and doubt.Li An leaned back in his chair and said, "Therefore, even forging a Heavenly Sealing Realm cultivator is a piece of cake for them.""Except for the mandatory requirement of a Heavenly Dao Soul for the Monarch Realm, they can mass-produce everything below the Celestial Human Realm!""Now that the main body is here, the Celestial Realm can hardly exert strong suppression over the mortal realm.""Therefore, I think everyone should turn their attention to the Celestial Realm.""A few million units of luck won't be enough to influence anything on the battlefield of the future. We need hundreds of billions!""The luck required to climb even one level above the Celestial Human Realm is several times that of the Monarch Realm.""For the past month, I've been researching whether there's a way to quickly mass-produce luck.""Not long ago, we saw initial results." Li An's dream world remained open, where Mr. Li was manipulating Li An's Heavenly Dao Soul, researching the key to breaking the deadlock, and had just instructed Li An on how to handle this meeting."First, the problem in the human world has never been the uneven distribution of fortune, but rather one word—poverty. The key to breaking this deadlock is to find ways to create more fortune, and I already have results in this regard.""Second, what these people in front of you want to see is not your ability to maneuver among the strong and soothe everyone's emotions, but rather your ability to unite everyone. The reason they are targeting the Demon Ancestor is because of you.""This woman is not very obedient. Their suppression of her is creating an opportunity for you to make her obedient."
