Chapter 1444 Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 1)

Chapter 1444: Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 1) Chapter 1444: Negotiations Break Down, Three Celestial Deities (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations Faced with Jiang Chengxuan’s abrupt accusations, Star Demon Elder’s expression grew uneasy.

The four elders of the Starry Celestial Sect beside him also looked tense, exchanging uncertain glances.

Jiang Chengxuan’s words held a certain truth they could not deny.

In the chaos enveloping the entire Immortal Realm, the Starry Celestial Sect and the Scarlet Dragon Sect had been in ongoing conflicts over resources across several territories.

This so-called astrological reading related to Qingzhou was simply part of an exchange of interests between the two factions.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chengxuan’s power and audacity had revealed the entire scheme.

And with the Scarlet Dragon Elder now weakened, the Starry Celestial Sect found itself implicated as well.

Had the Scarlet Dragon Sect not been suppressed, it would likely have sought compensation from the Starry Celestial Sect for its troubles.

Why was my astrological divination ineffective against this man… As he eyed Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Star Demon Elder felt a rare mix of frustration and bewilderment.

Jiang Chengxuan’s relentless questioning and mysterious strength left him feeling strangely powerless.

“Indeed, the Starry Celestial Sect bears some responsibility in this matter,” Star Demon Elder finally admitted, stroking his long beard with a heavy tone.

“But you two, esteemed as you may be, coming to our sect without invitation, using your abilities to intimidate our disciples—isn’t this overly oppressive?” Though he acknowledged the responsibility, he quickly shifted the topic, his eyes sharp as he retorted.

It was clear that while he admitted the incident, he wasn’t willing to shoulder the entire blame.

Jiang Chengxuan, having anticipated this response, merely chuckled and replied, “My wife acted on a whim, curious to test your sect’s strength, but she harmed no one.” He added with a faint smile, “And as for the Starshatter Plain itself, I see no one from your sect stationed here.

If our Wandering Immortal Alliance wishes to aid in restoring life to this land after the great calamity, why would that be objectionable?” His words were a masterful blend of logic and subtle provocation.

This explanation left Star Demon Elder speechless and visibly frustrated.

First, Jiang attributed Shen Ruyan’s actions to a mere “sparring session,” which, given her status as a respected celestial being, the Starry Celestial Sect couldn’t easily contest.

Secondly, he pointed out that no presence of the Starry Celestial Sect existed at the Starshatter Plain.

Due to the recent scramble for resources after the great calamity, the sect had yet to re-establish its presence here.

Exploiting this gap, Jiang Chengxuan had moved into the territory—a justification as dubious as it was undeniable.

And ironically, this was the same excuse the Scarlet Dragon Elder had used to justify his incursion into Qingzhou.

Star Demon Elder was fully aware of this, so although Jiang Chengxuan’s explanation was thin, it was one he struggled to counter.

In truth, this entire affair hinged on the balance of power.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s strength was such that they could contend with the entire Starry Celestial Sect.

This reality ensured they would never be on the defensive in any negotiation.

By leveraging the Starry Celestial Sect’s initial transgression, they could justify their actions however they pleased.

Currently, in the Immortal Realm, sects were seizing resources with similar justifications, and Jiang was merely employing the same logic.

“If that’s the case, what resolution does your Wandering Immortal Alliance propose?” Star Demon Elder’s expression turned stern, his voice thundering.

“Or do you mean to wage war against the Starry Celestial Sect and the entire Zhongzhou cultivation world?” But Jiang Chengxuan remained unfazed by the veiled threat, replying with a calm smile, “Going to war against all of Zhongzhou?

You think too highly of yourselves.

Spare us the theatrics.” His tone sharpened.

“My demand is simple: henceforth, the Starshatter Plain shall be under the jurisdiction of the Wandering Immortal Alliance.” Without hesitation, Star Demon Elder shouted, “Impossible!

That is beyond unreasonable and sheer greed!” Jiang Chengxuan’s demand had clearly crossed a line.

To surrender a resource-rich area like the Starshatter Plain would be devastating to the Starry Celestial Sect, as it would take all the resources they’d acquired post-calamity to make up for such a loss.

Moreover, the plain was close to the Western Continent and deep within the sect’s territory.

If controlled by another faction, it would be akin to having a dagger at their back, capable of causing catastrophic damage at any moment.

Jiang Chengxuan’s expression grew firmer as he responded, “Nothing is impossible.

This incident was instigated by your sect.” With those words, the atmosphere turned chilling.

The sky seemed to freeze as Star Demon Elder’s anger permeated the air, creating an intense foreboding.

Clearly, the negotiation had reached a stalemate.

Jiang Chengxuan’s uncompromising stance clashed directly with the Starry Celestial Sect’s refusal, and neither side was willing to budge.

Unbeknownst to Star Demon Elder, this impasse was precisely what Jiang Chengxuan had planned all along.

If the Starry Celestial Sect had agreed to his terms immediately, that would have surprised him more than anything.
