Qin Lin took the initiative to greet Xiao Chen. Seeing this, Xiao Chen personally helped him up and said with a smile. "Senior is too polite." Qin Lin took the initiative to greet Xiao Chen. Seeing this, Xiao Chen also personally helped him up and said with a smile. "Senior is too polite."
This was the first time Xiao Chen met Qin Lin, but Cang Xing and Qin Lin were very familiar. When Xiao Chen said this, Cang Xing laughed and teased, "You old fellow, last time I invited you to join the Sword Sect and you didn't accept. Why did you take the initiative to come to me this time?"
Actually, when Xiao Chen just became the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, Cang Xing had invited Qin Lin. Unfortunately, Qin Lin didn't want to join the Sword Sect at that time, so he politely rejected. Cang Xing couldn't force him.
However, who would have thought that this time, Qin Lin actually took the initiative to ask to join the Sword Sect. This was something that Cang Xing didn't expect.
Facing Cang Xing's teasing, Qin Lin smiled and said, "I'm old, and I need a place to belong. I hope Sect Leader won't reject me."
Qin Lin's words were a little perfunctory. The lifespan of an End Realm expert was extremely long. Although Qin Lin looked like an old man with one foot in the grave, it wouldn't be a problem for him to live for hundreds of years.
The reason why Qin Lin didn't choose to join the Sword Sect and politely rejected Cang Xing's invitation was because Qin Lin didn't have high hopes for the Sword Sect at that time.
Now that they had blocked the attacks of the Heavenly Sect twice, the rise of the Sword Sect could be said to be unstoppable. Therefore, Qin Lin chose to join the Sword Sect.
For a sect, the stronger it was, the easier it was to attract experts from all around. This was a very simple logic.
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Xiao Chen clearly didn't care why Qin Lin chose to reject Cang Xing's invitation last time. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Senior must be joking. With Senior joining, junior is more than happy. Why would I reject you?"
Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't reject Qin Lin's joining. No matter what reason he had for rejecting Cang Xing's invitation last time, since Qin Lin took the initiative to come to the Sword Sect and expressed his willingness to join the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen naturally welcomed him.
With Qin Lin joining, the strength of the Sword Sect undoubtedly increased. Although Qin Lin didn't have any sect behind him and couldn't bring more experts to the Sword Sect, just the fact that Qin Lin was an End Realm expert was enough for Xiao Chen to pay attention to him.
Moreover, Qin Lin didn't belong to any sect and didn't have any background. Wouldn't such a person make Xiao Chen feel more at ease?
He agreed to Qin Lin's joining very straightforwardly. That day, Xiao Chen announced that Qin Lin had become the seventh Deputy Sect Leader of the Sword Sect. At the same time, he held a simple banquet for Qin Lin to welcome him into the Sword Sect.
Seven Deputy Sect Leaders, seven End Realm experts. In just a few short decades, the strength of the Sword Sect had undergone a huge change compared to when Xiao Chen had just taken over.
Thinking back to when Xiao Chen had just arrived at the Sword Sect, there were only two End Realm experts in the entire Sword Sect and one of them had defected. But today, the Sword Sect had seven End Realm experts and twelve Dao Realm experts. Their strength had more than doubled from before.
With so many experts in charge, the Sword Sect had become a huge power that couldn't be ignored in the entire world.
Along with the Sword Sect announcing Qin Lin's joining, the entire family was naturally delighted. However, as the saying goes, some families were happy while others were sad.
The Sword Sect was delighted because of Qin Lin's joining. As for He Sui who was in Bazhou, he couldn't eat or sleep well.
Another End Realm expert had joined the Sword Sect. With that, the Sword Sect had seven End Realm experts and their strength increased once more. One had to admit that the current Sword Sect had the ability to wipe out the Black Emperor Sect.
The current He Sui felt as though he was staying beside a sleeping lion. He had no idea when this sleeping lion would suddenly wake up and bite him fiercely, taking his life.
Living next to the Sword Sect, He Sui had to be wary at all times. However, what was the use of such caution? He was just lying to himself. When the Sword Sect attacked the Black Emperor Sect, would the Black Emperor Sect have the ability to fight back?
The situation seemed to have completely reversed. In the past, the Swords Gate had to constantly be on guard against the threat of the Black Emperor Sect. But now, it was the Black Emperor Sect that had to constantly be on guard against the threat of the Swords Gate.
Thinking back to that year, facing the attacks of the Black Emperor Sect, the Sword Sect had to spend a lot of effort to block them. But now, facing the Sword Sect, the Black Emperor Sect felt the same way.
He felt like he was going crazy from the pressure. The Swords Gate was like a sharp sword hanging over the Black Emperor Sect's head. As the sect master of the Black Emperor Sect, He Sui had to make a corresponding choice.
Early in the morning, He Sui gathered all the higher-ups of the Black Emperor Sect. Looking at them, He Sui said solemnly.
"The Sword Sect is getting stronger by the day. Now, they have seven End Realm experts. We are also neighbors of the Sword Sect. Facing the increasing danger of the Sword Sect, what plans do you all have?"
He Sui was the first to ask. Hearing this, one of the princes thought about it for a moment before saying, "Sect Leader, I feel that we should continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the Sword Sect. With that, we can form an alliance to protect ourselves."
Continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the Sword Sect. Hearing this, He Sui shook his head and said, "Impossible. As the Sword Sect's strength continues to increase, this balance will be broken sooner or later. The first condition for an alliance is that the difference in strength between the two sides isn't too big. Once there is a clear difference in strength, is there still a possibility of an alliance?"
If they wanted to continue to coexist peacefully with the Sword Sect, it was best to form an alliance. He Sui didn't think highly of this method. If it was before, maybe the Sword Sect would accept it. However, with the current strength of the Sword Sect, how could they form an alliance with the Black Emperor Sect?
Have you ever seen a lion form an alliance with a dog? Obviously, it was impossible.
There was no need to think about forming an alliance. The Sword Sect definitely wouldn't agree. Now, there were only two choices in front of the Black Emperor Sect.
Sweeping his gaze across everyone present, He Sui's eyes flashed with decisiveness. Then, he said flatly.
"Facing the Sword Sect that is getting stronger by the day, if my Black Emperor Sect wants to survive, there are only two choices left. The first is to submit, completely submit to the Sword Sect and become a subsidiary power of the Sword Sect. This way, the Black Emperor Sect will be safe."
Submit to the Sword Sect? Become a subsidiary power of the Sword Sect? Hearing this, the upper echelons of the Black Emperor Sect were all stunned. As a super power, the Black Emperor Sect actually had to submit to the Sword Sect. This was something that everyone found hard to accept. Immediately, someone objected.
"Sect Leader, our Black Emperor Sect and the Sword Sect are both super powers. Submitting to the Sword Sect, I hope that Sect Leader will reconsider."
"That's right, I hope that Sect Leader will reconsider." Hearing this person's words, the others all spoke out.
