Jian Wushuang asked curiously, "I, Sword One, have indeed been taking advantage of various clans and resorting to underhanded means. However, no matter how capable I am, I'll never find fault with the Situ Clan. The Situ Clan doesn't have to pay attention to me either, just like the Shi Clan and Wu Clan. However, why did the Situ Clan Leader personally come today with such a generous gift?"
"Since Mr. Sword One has asked, I'll be frank with you." Situ Yuan remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Although the Situ Clan is one of the top three clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent and looks very impressive, we're actually in a very awkward situation. After all, our foundation isn't as strong as the Shi Clan and Wu Clan. At the same time, the most important reason is that we don't have an Earth Ultimate God in charge."
"I know." Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
He had heard from Xiao Tiexin that there were four top clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent, including the Xiao Clan.
Those four top clans had produced Earth Ultimate Gods before. However, the difference was that the Shi Clan and Wu Clan's Earth Ultimate Gods were still alive while the Xiao Clan and Situ Clan's Earth Ultimate Gods had passed away a long time ago.
"Although the Situ Clan isn't weak overall without an Earth Ultimate God in charge, we're still lacking in confidence. Take the Shi Clan and Wu Clan for example, they're full of confidence. Although they're respectful when facing the Territorial Lord, they're not too afraid as even the Territorial Lord has to be wary of the Earth Ultimate God behind them. Even if they accidentally offended the Territorial Lord, the Territorial Lord would still be angry and teach them a lesson, but he wouldn't go too far!"
"However, it's different for the Situ Clan."
Situ Yuan sighed softly and spoke again after a while, "Mr. Sword One has been in the Northern Darkstar Continent for quite some time. I'm sure you've heard of the Xiao Clan from decades ago?"
"The Xiao Clan?" Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
Xiao Tiexin, who was standing beside Jian Wushuang, was shocked.
"The Xiao Clan's situation is the same as the Situ Clan's. They have an extraordinary foundation, but they lack an Earth Ultimate God. Naturally, the Territorial Lord doesn't have to worry about the Xiao Clan. Although the Xiao Clan is cautious and rarely provoke the Territorial Lord, it's impossible for the Territorial Lord to not be tempted by the Xiao Clan's wealth. I noticed the Territorial Lord's intention to attack the Xiao Clan a long time ago. The Territorial Lord could no longer hold back after the Xiao Clan obtained a special treasure that was at least a Heavenly Treasure."
"In the end, the Northern Darkstar Territorial Lord took action directly. The Xiao Clan did not have much ability to resist and was directly destroyed by him."
"Since the Territorial Lord has annihilated the Xiao Clan, he might annihilate the Situ Clan at any time," said Situ Yuan.
Jian Wushuang understood.
He now knew what Situ Yuan meant when he said he was in an awkward situation.
Indeed, the Situ Clan should be vigilant and worried. Otherwise, they might become the next Xiao Clan.
"Clan Leader Situ, I understand what you're saying. However, the Territorial Lord has no intention of attacking the Situ Clan for the time being. Besides, even if he does, I won't be able to help much. Why waste those Primordial Stones on me?" asked Jian Wushuang.
"Mr. Sword One, you've misunderstood." Situ Yuan smiled faintly. "I don't want Mr. Sword One to help the Situ Clan when we're in a life-and-death situation. What the Situ Clan wants is to have a good relationship with you. In fact, it's not just you, Mr. Sword One. The Situ Clan has left a lot of good relationships in the Northern Darkstar Continent!
"Many powerhouses in the Northern Darkstar Continent, including the two Commanders in the Official Army, have received good karma from the Situ Clan. The Situ Clan didn't leave these good karma because we need them to do anything for the Situ Clan or to help us when we're in trouble. It's just to form an invisible pressure."
"After all, those who have received good karma from the Situ Clan must be close to the Situ Clan or have a good impression of the Situ Clan. This way, anyone who wants to attack the Situ Clan would have to consider their feelings. For example, if the Territorial Lord were to attack the Situ Clan, the Situ Clan wouldn't be able to stop him and would follow in the footsteps of the Xiao Clan. However, those who have received favors from the Xiao Clan might not seek revenge for the Situ Clan, but they would at least resent the Territorial Lord from the bottom of their hearts."
"It's just an invisible pressure, but even the Territorial Lord would have to worry about it. It's worth it for the Situ Clan to do our best to fight for it."
"I understand." Jian Wushuang nodded to himself after listening to Situ Yuan's explanation. "The Situ Clan is making it easy for the Territorial Lord to be wary of the Situ Clan just because of the good karma."
"Yes, the Xiao Clan has done the same before. Unfortunately, the Xiao Clan isn't as bold as the Situ Clan or rather, they're not willing to spend so much money," said Situ Yuan.
Jian Wushuang understood.
The Situ Clan was willing to fork out 100,000 Primordial Stones just to form a good relationship with Jian Wushuang. The Xiao Clan's leader might not have such boldness.
"I wonder if Mr. Sword One is willing to accept the Situ Clan's good relationship." Situ Yuan smiled.
"Of course, I accept." Jian Wushuang smiled. "The benefits have come knocking on my door. I, Sword One, am not a fool. Moreover, I, Sword One, am willing to accept the Situ Clan's good relationship."
Jian Wushuang accepted the Interspatial Ring without hesitation.
He was confident as the reason he needed so many Primordial Stones was to find a way to break through to the Ultimate God Realm and then challenge the Territorial Lord to replace him.
Once he succeeded, the Situ Clan's good relationship would be worth a lot.
"By the way, Clan Leader Situ, can you do me another favor if you don't mind?" Jian Wushuang suddenly asked.
"Please go ahead, Mr. Sword One." Situ Yuan remained humble.
