As for other forces, they are nothing more than trivial chickens and dogs. Although their strength is extraordinary, they are ultimately loose sand, incapable of achieving any major accomplishnt."
Dongfang Sheng furrowed his brow slightly and said calmly:
"It seems Brother Xiang does not view my Heavenly Demon Hall and Seven Killings Hall with any regard."
"Hehe, indeed so."
Xiang Qianqiu nodded in agreent.
"You..." Dongfang Sheng's voice paused, then he said coldly:
"Could it be that Brother Xiang invited us here just to ridicule us?"
"Friend Dongfang, it's a misunderstanding."
"Heh..." The Hall Master of Seven Killings Hall sneered.
"Why not continue listening?"
"Please."
"Forgive my bluntness, it's not that I look down on you two, but rather, Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall are hard to beco significant matters. You two don't need to rush to refute, just listen to my words.
Since its establishnt, Seven Killings Hall has been an assassin organization. Although powerful, it is ultimately not a force on the surface. Heavenly Demon Hall, although the leader of the Demon Dao, has a poor reputation and low prestige.
Even with considerable strength, hoping to compete for the world is almost impossible. Would you two admit to that?"
"Seven Killings Hall has no intention of competing for the world."
"Heavenly Demon Hall neither seeks this, just wanting to dominate one state is enough."
"Have you two ever considered that once the great matters of the world are determined, how could the new emperor spare Heavenly Demon Hall and Seven Killings Hall? Either submit or face annihilation."
"Brother Xiang seems to be sowhat alarmist."
"This is the heartfelt opinion of my seat. Actually, it's not just Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall, even my Xiang Family, though influential, lacks strength and doesn't have much hope of revitalizing the Great Chu in this chaotic world.
The forces in Jianghu claim to restore Chu from Jin's downfall, but to this day, no force has co to Blood State to connect with Liangshan. They only need a reputation, not the reality."
"So?"
Dongfang Sheng squinted his eyes, having already guessed Xiang Qianqiu's intention.
"Therefore, my seat wishes to ally with Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall, consolidate Blood State's strength, and either unify the Southern Four States or establish dominance in the Central Plains!"
Xiang Qianqiu said solemnly.
"Hehe, Brother Xiang really has an excellent plan."
"Indeed, Brother Xiang seems to want to use my Seven Killings Hall as a knife."
The two exchanged glances, silently conferring.
Xiang Qianqiu shook his head, speaking earnestly:
"Once our three families turn hostile, no one will gain anything, and we'll ultimately be trapped in Blood State, watching other factions vie for the world, only to be exterminated later.
This is a chaotic era, comparable to a thousand years ago; do not assu that you can still hold Blood State. That is rely due to the incompetence of the Sima Family. If a true Fortune contender sweeps through the world, the world's power will consolidate. At that ti, even if our three families unite, we won't be able to stop it.
Hehe, my Xiang Family's Grand Ancestor has already proven this."
"In the alliance of the three families, who will be the leader?" Dongfang Sheng pondered for a mont, then asked.
"It will be my Xiang Family."
"Why?"
"On what basis does Brother Xiang still think of the Xiang Family as it was hundreds of years ago? Do you want to command the Immortal Sect with a single word?" Dongfang Sheng seed sowhat sarcastic.
Though the Xiang Family is strong, it is limited. Moreover, forces worldwide dread the Xiang Family, not wanting them to restore dominance. Having them as a figurehead is acceptable.
As the master, that's not possible.
"Because my Xiang Family holds prestige. Even though Sima Family has seized the throne for over two hundred years, my Xiang Family's influence remains significant and sotis can be greatly useful.
Furthermore, in terms of heritage, Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall may find it difficult to compare."
"Hehe...."
"But rest assured, since we are forming an alliance, I will naturally show sincerity. The three of us can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: if my Xiang Family revitalizes, Blood State will beco the fief of Heavenly Demon Hall, Seven Killings Hall can beco the National Religion of Great Chu, or they might choose any of the Central Plains Thirteen States as their fief.
The Immortal of Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall can beco State Preceptors, supported by the fortune of Great Chu."
"Brother Xiang has drawn quite a perfect picture."
"It's both a promise and a reward. As for now, if I'm not mistaken, the state of the immortals from Seven Killings Hall and Heavenly Demon Hall isn't very good, is it?"
Xiang Qianqiu's gaze turned to Dongfang Sheng, appearing to have anticipated this.
"If Brother Xiang thinks so, I will not refute it, hehe...."
"I have my ancestor's Divine Origin, enough to eliminate ailnts for both immortals, extend their lifespan by two centuries, and potentially advance further. All Seven Killings Hall and Dongfang Daoists seek is to beco immortals.
I can promise to help both achieve immortality."
"On what basis does Brother Xiang promise?"
Dongfang Sheng furrowed his brow, as even he had not beco immortal, yet he spoke of helping others achieve it, which indeed seed... sowhat laughable.
"Relying on my Xiang Family's heritage, both of you with Perfection in Conception struggle to grasp the rules, yet I can offer the Origin Heavenly Pearl to aid your comprehension."
"What?" Dongfang Sheng's complexion changed imdiately, looking at Xiang Qianqiu in disbelief:
"Do you have the Origin Heavenly Pearl?"
"Otherwise, how could I comprehend the rules?"
Xiang Qianqiu smiled faintly.
"Alright, as long as Brother Xiang can provide the Heavenly Pearl, my seat will agree imdiately." Dongfang Sheng said solemnly.
"Right now is naturally not feasible, should you two regret later, I would suffer greatly. Wait until I beco immortal, then the Heavenly Pearl can be gifted to you both."
"What if Brother Xiang deceives us?"
Dongfang Sheng asked seriously.
Xiang Qianqiu's lips curled into a light smile, a flash of radiance appearing in his hand, emanating a mysterious Dao Yun.
