“After New Moon Land migrated, we will deploy armies from various factions to defend there. We will also arrange leaders, border lords, gate elders and other high rank experts to guard there in turn and wait for Solar Eclipse. New Moon Land’s isolated spaces will be temporarily managed by the factions in their respective shifts. After all, this disaster requires an enormous amount of soul pet resources and Soul Items...... This is the decision, is there any objection?” said Family Master Gu slowly.

There was no more sound within the entire conference room by now. Liu Binglan was stunned by the news, while Madam Huo and the others who were eyeing on New Moon Land smiled after seeing Liu Binglan’s stunned expression.

They actually knew about the solution of the royalty beforehand. The reason they kept provoking Liu Binglan was also because they knew that New Moon Land would be ordered to migrate. Without the land, just how would New Moon Land oppose the major factions?

Meanwhile, the New Moon Land refugees had to live under the roof of others. Their treatment would be determined by the actual territory lords as well.

After losing the precious resource vault, they would need the assistance of their allies. Perhaps, their so-called allies would also change their attitude. After all, New Moon Land could no longer provide them with what they wanted.

After stimulating all the possible hardships New Moon Land might face, Liu Binglan felt her body going cold. She must not let this happen!

Hence, when Family Master Gu was asking if anyone objected, Liu Binglan stood up without hesitation.

She could tolerate the unreasonable expropriation of Northern Territory, but she would never agree to abandon the entire New Moon LAnd.

“Liu Binglan, are you objecting?” asked Family Master Gu after he saw Liu Binglan standing up.

“I’m not objecting. Rather, you people do not have the right to decide this matter,” Liu Binglan was already furious.

She had never been so furious before. What authority did the royalty have to expropriate a piece of territory? What authority did they have to rob away the territory of others? And they even seized all the isolated spaces as well!

Instead of saying they would be guarding New Moon Land to prevent Ancient Flood Dragon Person from invading into human territory, it sounded more like them robbing all the territorial resources of New Moon Land using Ancient Flood Dragon Person incident as a chance. They were even chasing the original owners of the territory to other places!

“Before the conference began, Family Master Ning already said that our objective is to consider the benefit of the entire human territory. For everything discussed during the conference, the involved territory owners can voice their opinions and objections. However, once the resolution goes through the conference, it will be strictly carried out,” said Family Master Gu with a stern tone.

“Female Supreme Liu, you also heard how powerful that Ancient Flood Dragon Person is. It can swallow half of our Zhengming Continent. Once it awakened, let alone New Moon Land, even the people in the nearby borders will also perish. If you don’t migrate, are you going to watch your citizens die meaninglessly?” said Elemental Clan’s Wind Faction Lord.

“It can’t be helped. Female Supreme Liu, let’s just migrate,” sigh He Border’s Border Lord.

He Border’s Border Lord actually knew about this matter. He also went through days of struggle over the thought. However, no matter how he struggled, the royalty’s order was already issued. What use was there to object?

The other Border Lords who were ordered to migrate also did not voice out. Their positions were even worse than the current New Moon Land. They naturally did not have the qualification to say anything more.

Of course, there were also those who objected. However, those objections help no real use at all.

“Family Master Gu, I don’t really understand. Asking New Moon Land’s citizens to migrate is one matter, why are you distributing the isolated space resources to other factions?” asked Lin Xian.

“Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s fighting force is enormous. Once the war breaks out, our resources will be greatly exhausted. The exhaustion can only be replenished from those isolated spaces which are non-human territories,” said Family Master Gu.

“Private territories belonged to individuals in the first place. Migrating or not depends on the ruler of the private territory. What do you think about this, Beiming City’s City Lord?” Lin Xian’s gaze fell onto Beiming City’s City Lord Xia Yin.

Xia Yin took a glance at Lin Xian and thought to himself that this Lin Xian was clearly dragging him into this.

However, the resolution made by the royalty was certainly too unfair. It would be one thing if they ordered those governed borders to mirage. How could they order private territories to migrate? Private territories were not under the protection of any faction other than Divine Sect.

“Hmm, I am also of the opinion that this should be decided by private territory owners,” City Lord Xia Yin nodded.

Since both powerful private territory representatives indicated that they objected to this resolution, the other private territory lords naturally would not accept such a decision. After all, once there was an example of New Moon Land, they would be the ones to suffer in future if such things were to happen to their own territories. Now, they private territory owners must stand on the same side.

Private territory owners did not hold much weight in the entire conference. Even if He City and Beiming City objected, no objection could overturn the decision of those major factions and royalties.

“Start the vote,” Family Master Gu did not want to say anything further and immediately went through the voting process.

They did not need to see the result of the vote. It would surely be agreeing with the royalties taking up the majority.

Liu Binglan took a glance at Yu Suo. Yu Suo shook her head and indicated that she also could not do anything. This conspiracy had been planned for a very long time. When it suddenly broke out during this Dual Earth Conference, even she could not imagine such a big change.

Yu Suo’s intention would be to temporarily compromise. Since the Ancient Flood Dragon Person incident was indeed difficult to handle. Even if it was settled, New Moon Land would be in ruins.

Liu Binglan was unwilling to compromise. She would never hand over New Moon Land to those greedy major factions!

“The vote passed. New Moon Land must complete migration within two years. The locations to be migrated to can be discussed with the various major factions. Every faction must handle this properly,” said Family Master Gu calmly.

“No matter what your vote is, New Moon Land will not migrate!” said Liu Binglan with unshakable determination as she swept her gaze across the entire venue.

“You cannot be stubborn on this matter. We are protecting,” said Family Master Gu.

“New Moon Land has been independent from the start, we don’t need your protection,” said Liu Binglan.

“The two royalties protected all human territories. Independent? Unless you become independent from the human race,” snorted Madam Huo.

“Then it shall be done!” declared Liu Binglan without any hesitation!

Independent from the human race?

That was naturally a mockery and threat. In fact, such events did happen in history. Many territories unwilling to obey the two royalties and major factions chose complete independence. However, the result of such independence was to be subjugated by all major factions joining forces. They would recover this traitorous territory.

New Moon Land disagreed with the final decision of the two royalties and major factions. This was equivalent to becoming a complete betrayer. This would lead to subjugation!

“Liu Binglan, this independence isn’t territorial independence, but racial independence. First, racial independence itself is a threat to humans, because you do not belong to the human race acknowledged by us humans. Next, if you do not migrate, we cannot take proper measures against Ancient Flood Dragon Person. This will assist Ancient Flood Dragon’s tyranny. Hence, your New Moon Land’s stubborn behavior is the same as endangering the other Border Kingdoms.”

“Which means, if you want to acknowledge racial independence, then our Dual Earth Conference will then discuss on how to exterminate the danger you independent race will bring to us humans!”

Family Master Gu emphasized the severity of this issue, as if Liu Binglan would be antagonizing all major factions if she did not agree to migrate!

Which faction present would dare to take such an action?

Seeing the gloating expressions of those against New Moon Land, Liu Binglan’s fury reached a peak.

What those people wanted was for New Moon Land to be destroyed, so that they could snatch all the resources.

This was their conspiracy. They were in cahoots long ago and probably even bribed the royalty. They would be wiping out New Moon Land without any mercy!

If that was the case, there would be nothing to discuss!

Liu Binglan stood up, sweeping her gaze past all those greedy major factions and spoke, “You want to divide New Moon Land amongst yourselves?”

“Then just go ahead and send your armies!”

Finishing that line, Liu Binglan turned to leave without waiting for the conference to end.

New Moon Land had been independent since the start. There was no need to receive the management and protection from others. If they could not even defend their own territory, it would be meaningless for this territory to exist.

If they had to accept such tyrannical protection, it would be no different from getting annihilated!

Want to divide New Moon Land?

Want to occupy New Moon Land’s abundant resources?

Want to possess New Moon Land’s independent space?

Sure, come and get them!

Ancient Flood Dragon Person is not scary, what’s scary are these greedy factions which use protecting the entire human race as a hypocriptic reason!

Family Master Gu saw Liu Binglan actually leaving before everyone’s eyes and immediately reprimanded, “Stop, do you think this is a place you can come and go as you like?”

The Dual Earth Conference was important and solemn. It would not allow anyone to leave halfway. This was the same as challenging the majesty of the royalties.

Liu Binglan’s action would surely enrage the others.

Madam Huo saw Liu Binglan completely furious and revealed a smile.

Liu Binglan might not even have the chance to return to New Moon Land. The royalties always valued their reputation greatly.

Liu Binglan ignored Family Master Gu and left the room cooly, without any hesitation in her steps.

Family Master Gu’s rage burned even greater as he saw Liu Binglan really left. Someone actually dared to ignore the majesty of the royalty!
