Although the "Councilor's Token" was used, Jin Xuan's objective was quite simple.
Put simply, she did not want to be an enemy of Qian Mo. She wanted to seize every opportunity and build a good relationship with Qian Mo.
However, her words in the chat group of the Gods' Covenant indeed provoked resistance and ridicule from many within the alliance.
Especially after she announced that she was conveying a message from Qian Mo, their words became even more arrogant.
"Oh ho! So you've become Qian Mo's messenger now! As a high-ranking councilor, doing something like this... tsk tsk!"
"Hmph! If it's a fight to the death, then it's a fight to the death! Who's afraid of who? Let him come if he dares!"
"I'm in the extreme northern ice plains, come on! Let Qian Mo make a distant expedition to fight me!"
"Heh heh... I'm afraid he's overthinking things! Isn't it just that he was lucky during his descent and got his hands on immortal-demon troops! It's a pity others fear him, but I, Qian Mo, will never back down from him!"
"Exactly! Anyone who backs down is a coward! He actually wants us to compensate so many immortal-demon stones and soul crystals? That's a pipe dream! I'd rather feed them to the dogs than give them to him!"
"Jin Xuan, judging by your tone, it seems you've made up your mind to stand with that bastard Qian Mo! If that's the case, you should leave the Gods' Covenant alliance! After all, this alliance belongs to everyone, not just one person!"
"That's right! Withdraw voluntarily. Don't make us have a democratic vote. If that happens, it will probably end with several councilors kicking you out together. In that case, it will be a complete falling out!"
"Go! Leave on your own! The Gods' Covenant alliance no longer welcomes you!"
"While you deserve credit for building this alliance, you have now betrayed your allies and gone against everyone. So, please leave of your own accord!"
The denunciation eventually escalated into a collective pressure for Jin Xuan to withdraw from the alliance.
Although a minority of alliance members persistently defended Jin Xuan and expressed their support, their efforts were largely ineffectual.
In fact, most members resorted to guilt by association, threatening to expel anyone who continued to speak up for Jin Xuan.
At this point, a significant portion of the lords who had remained neutral also shifted to the majority's side, eager to showcase their individuality.
"Tsk! Isn't he just a mere Qian Mo! Our alliance will flatten him sooner or later!"
"Indeed! As long as we can build enough cannons, we can still bombard his Nine Heavens Nine Hells City!"
"Qian Mo is just a lucky early-stage player! No matter how formidable he is, he's not invincible. There will always be ways to resist and counter him!"
"Compensation? Heh heh... I'll just laugh. Besides, do I look like a sucker?"
"Compensation is impossible, and compensating with immortal-demon stones and soul crystals is even more impossible! Never in this lifetime!"
At this juncture, the situation had become quite clear. It was then that Old Zhu, the lord of the Vermilion Bird Territory, stepped forward again.
"Alas... Jin Xuan, you've seen it all! Since it has come to this, you must understand in your heart that staying in the Gods' Covenant is not good for you or for everyone else. So, let's part on good terms!"
As Old Zhu spoke, Old Luo, the lord of the Asura Territory, also stepped forward at the opportune moment.
"For the last time, I'll call you Fairy Jin Xuan. You must understand that everyone initially welcomed you, but you've cut off your own path! I feel it's best for you to leave!"
"Support Brother Zhu and Brother Luo!"
"I support them with all five limbs! So what if Brother Gou is gone? We still have Brother Zhu and Brother Luo!"
"Yes! And it seems Brother Zhu and Brother Luo didn't get much fewer points than Qian Mo during the beast tide war!"
"That's right! I believe with the two great brothers, Zhu and Luo, leading the way, we'll definitely defeat Qian Mo sooner or later!"
"Brother Zhu! Brother Luo! I'm with you!"
"+1"
Seeing these messages, Jin Xuan rolled her eyes speechlessly. She genuinely couldn't understand where these people got such immense confidence.
She then pouted and revealed her final decision and some of her plans.
"Honestly, I really wanted to be one of Qian Mo's people and stand with him in an alliance, but unfortunately, he has always refused! Also, what I did was for your own good. Since you don't appreciate it, I have nothing more to say!"
"Furthermore, do some of you truly believe that your private dealings with the Immortal-Slaying Demon-Exterminating Alliance are completely undetectable?"
"Excuse me! I have recorded all your names. Since you intend to fall out with me and kick me out of the alliance, I will naturally no longer show any mercy or hold back. I will hand over these records to Qian Mo, exactly as they are!"
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, I specifically consulted just now. Before you establish a kingdom, you cannot change the name of your territory. So, those who originally planned to remain anonymous, develop quietly, and continue to oppose Qian Mo, don't waste your efforts!"
"Finally, and most importantly..."
"I am preparing to re-establish an Immortal-Demon Alliance. This alliance will be solely for the purpose of cooperating sincerely with Qian Mo in the future, when we reach the Kingdom and even Empire eras, to jointly conquer the indigenous kingdoms and empires in the central region of the Primordial Continent!"
"Of course, lords who are interested and share the same aspirations are most welcome!"
"Goodbye, my former allies! I hope to see you all again in the future!"
"Group Notification: Alliance Councilor Jin Xuan has resigned from her position and withdrawn from the alliance!"
This string of messages left many dumbfounded.
Jin Xuan had truly left, and she did so with unparalleled grace, without any hesitation or lingering attachments.
This was because Jin Xuan felt her actions this time were too ruthless. If those people were to react, she would surely be cursed to death.
And the final outcome would still be her expulsion from the alliance.
Wasn't this decisive manner much more dashing and satisfying?
After withdrawing from the Gods' Covenant alliance, Jin Xuan unhesitatingly established the "Immortal-Demon Alliance."
Soon, many friends sent messages requesting to join the alliance, and she naturally accepted them all.
After all, all her friends were top-tier lords!
Thus, the "Immortal-Demon Alliance" gradually grew stronger.
As for the chat group of the Gods' Covenant alliance,
It was a while after Jin Xuan's departure before someone dared to curse.
"Damn it! That bitch Jin Xuan, she actually pulled this trick!"
"Damn it! That whore is too insidious! No wonder she's on the same side as Qian Mo. Birds of a feather flock together!"
"We trusted her so much before, and now she's screwed us over like this!"
"Everyone, don't worry. I think this bitch is just angry. She's trying to scare you all to vent her frustration! After all, there are at least a hundred lords in our alliance who privately contact the Immortal-Slaying Demon-Exterminating Alliance. Where could she possibly get such complete information?"
"That's right! It sounds reasonable. Besides, everyone contacted them privately, and many people never even spoke up from beginning to end. Jin Xuan couldn't possibly know so many details!"
"Exactly! Brothers and sisters, don't be scared by Jin Xuan's empty threats! It doesn't matter if she leaves; we won't lose anything. We still have hundreds of top-tier lords in the alliance! Many of them were among the top hundred in the leaderboard back then! So, our alliance will develop even better without Jin Xuan!"
For a time, many believed that Jin Xuan was just saying these things to save face and make herself feel better.
However, the next message was like a bucket of ice water poured onto these lords' hearts, causing their entire being to plummet to the bottom of despair...
