Celestial Peak Chapter 278

"Becoming one? Do you mean unification? With all due respect, such an idea is nothing but a fantasy." Principal Zi questioned it without any hesitation. A pained expression was painted on his countenance as he spoke, "The blood feud of the two paths cannot…"
"Cannot be quelled? The war that had transpired over hundreds of thousands of years ago had long passed. You fear those of the Holy Path to hold the Devil Path accountable for the deaths that had transpired not only of the war but for the past years correct? But answer my question, do you also not feel anger at the ones of the Holy Path who had slain your fellow men?"
Wang Ling's question delivered a large blow on the Principal and it made him silent.
Seeing this made Wang Ling creased his brows as he asked once more, "Do you not feel anger!? Answer me!"
"Yes, I do! The number of deaths committed in the name of their so-called righteousness had been haunting the Devil Path practitioners for a very long time! I feel my anger rising when I think of the time when my fellow brothers lose their lives on the hands of the Holy Path, the anguish of losing them is something I cannot merely gloss over!" The principal answered honestly in the face of Wang Ling's majestic overbearing aura.
The Grand Elders also reflected the emotions he was spouting that it made Wang Ling smile secretly. He cleared his throat and raised his right hand, "Your lust for blood exudes out of your body as you recount the anguish held deep within your heart. Then, what do you wish to do? Do you wish to slit the throat of your enemies and make them suffer the pain you have suffered?"
Principal Zi raised his head and shouted aloud, "I do!"
Shaking his head, Wang Ling argued, "Sigh, it seems like you still only watch with a narrow view of the big picture, Little Zi, with such emotion you do not seem to wish to elevate the standing of the Devil Path but ground it to the ground."

At this point, the Grand Elders and Principal Zi snapped out of their own little world. They just realized what they have shown in front of the Great True Devil King and immediately bowed their heads in disgrace, "I—I…"
"Do not about such a display, what you say is indeed true after all. But if you wish to truly lead the people of the Devil Path to a better future then you need to bury the deep seethed rage that exists between your forces. You may not be able to fully bury it but you must to the world that you are prepared to create a better world with the Devil Path and embrace the differences that separate the two forces all this time."
Principal Zi stood up and stared at Wang Ling's eyes showing from the slits of his mask, Wang Ling showed his sincerity and continued, "If you wish to create a world that welcomes the Devil Path then you must open up a path for the world to accept us. But in order for us to achieve that, you must throw away the pride that blocks you from accepting the one possible path we can take."
Principal Zi swallowed dry saliva and waited for Wang Ling's words with bated breath. It took a while for Wang Ling to speak but eventually, he spoke up, "You need to make the first move and announce the world that you are willing to form an allegiance with the Heaven's Will Academy."
"Impossible! Do you mean to say that we must throw bow our heads to the Heaven's Will Academy in order for us to live? Living the life of a dog is much better than living a life where we have to prostrate ourselves in order for us to live. Keeping the Status Quo right now is much better."
A Grand Elder interjected. Many of the Grand Elders nodded their heads in agreement which Wang Ling responded with, "You have not been listening, aren't you? I only speak of making an announcement not bowing your heads, I also speak of the fact that in order to achieve a new path one must destroy the preconceived path you stare with pride. If you do this, Heaven's Will is going to have their guards up but at the same time, they will not be able to touch you. And also, this is just the first step to creating a truly safe world for the Devil Path the true reason why I want the Heaven's Will Academy and the True Devil Academy to act as the spearhead in creating a new era of peace rather than calling other forces of the two factions holds a deeper meaning."

Wang Ling looked at the Grand Elders and waited for them to ask, "May we know what this is?"
"A Sect, I want to create a Sect that will let the two forces coexist as one. If the two factions exist in one form of power then those who wish to differ from the path we have set up will be seen as the ones who wish to see chaos, but if they join our cause then they will show a willingness to become our people."
"That is if we can actually form an alliance with the Heaven's Will Academy." Principal Zi spoke up.
But Wang Ling was already prepared as he answered, "Do not worry, the Heaven's Will Academy will be taken care of by none other than yourself, Principal Zi."
"By me? I do not have any means to make them submit to this plan, Devil King. Can you please tell me how I will be able to do just that?"
Wagging his fingers, Wang Ling said, "I cannot tell you right now because I am still unsure if you are willing to take this opportunity of creating an era of coexistence. What if you are actually planning to backstab me? We all just met, I still have to see your commitment."
Principal Zi did not hesitate to pierce his hands and have drops of his blood flow out as he said, "I vow to the Heavens and Hell that I shall create a path that will let the Devil Path flourish and end the conflict. If this man before me can show me a path to get to that goal and then betray his expectations, may the Divine might of the Divine Realms smite me for going against my oath."
Seeing their principal do such a thing prompted the remaining Grand Elders to take the oath as well causing Wang Ling to praise their commitment and dedication towards the future of the Devil Path.
"Admirable, now to ensure you all I shall swear in the name of the Devil God I shall pave a path for the Devil Path to flourish in the coming era. If I am lying may my Wings fall and my blood to drain."
Wang Ling did the oath and received the awe and reverence of the people present. It seems like their faith in him also greatly increased after seeing him take such an oath.
"Now, can sir Devil tell us what this method you mean?"
Wang Ling did not dally any longer and brought out a vial glowing with a golden light. The vial illuminated the room and caused the room and caused the Elders to jump in a sudden fright.
With a shaking voice Principal, Zi asked, "Tha—that blood, does that blood belong to a…"
"Hehe, at least you know of its origins. That is correct, this blood belongs to someone from the Holy Race, no, that is incorrect, this blood actually belongs to someone higher than the Holy Race."
The final card had been thrown and with this card, Principal Zi had a hint of faith that his words may actually come true.
