"The Sword Alliance is not to be trifled with, regardless of whether they have the support of a powerful second-rated force or a first-rated force," said Gu Mo.
The long-robed middle-aged man and the purple-clad woman looked at each other and nodded secretly.
Indeed, the Sword Alliance had too many resources and it did seem like they were secretly supported by a major force.
If there was a major force secretly supporting them, the Sword Alliance was not something that a small third-rated force like them could afford to offend.
"That's why we can't act rashly. Let's invite the Sword Alliance Master over and have a good talk. Let's find out if there's a major force behind the Sword Alliance and find out their true intentions. We'll act according to the circumstances then," said Gu Mo.
"Act according to the circumstances?" The long-robed middle-aged man and the green-clad woman looked at each other. They naturally understood what Gu Mo meant.
"In that case, we'll take our leave first. Palace Master Gu Mo, please send a message to the Sword Alliance as soon as possible," said the long-robed middle-aged man.
"Brother Sheng Long, don't worry. I'll send a message to the Sword Alliance immediately. I don't know if the Sword Alliance Master will do me the honor," said Gu Mo.
The long-robed middle-aged man and the green-clad woman did not stay any longer and quickly turned to leave.
After they left, Gu Mo's eyes turned slightly cold and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Big Brother, you heard it, right?" Bone Devil began to mumble to himself.
However, just as he finished speaking, an old man with an ice-cold figure quietly appeared beside him, as if he did not possess the slightest bit of vitality.
The old man was the other Palace Master of the Corpse Palace, Shi Mo.
"The Seven Absolute Palace and Blood Water Gang were destroyed by the Sword Alliance one after another. The Divine Dragon Pavilion and Purple Dress House sensed the danger and took the initiative to look for the Corpse Palace. Haha, the heavens are really helping me." Gu Mo laughed wantonly.
"Originally, the Corpse Palace was worried that we wouldn't be able to gather the leaders of these forces. However, the Sword Alliance has helped us a lot." Shi Mo said coldly, "We've waited for so long and this opportunity is finally here. Star Castle is already prepared. I'll send them a message and ask them to come over. I'll leave it to you to send a message to the Sword Alliance. You must invite the Sword Alliance Master here no matter what."
"Don't worry, Big Brother. My Corpse Palace has never had any conflict with the Sword Alliance. I even specially prepared a generous gift when the Sword Alliance was established to leave a good impression on the Sword Alliance Master. Now that I've lowered myself and personally invited him, the Sword Alliance Master shouldn't refuse," said Gu Mo with a smile.
"That's good." Shi Mo nodded.
Soon, the Corpse Palace's people sent a token to the Sword Alliance and placed it in front of Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang sat on the throne and looked at the message in the token in his hand. His expression changed, "The two Palace Masters of the Corpse Palace personally invited me to attend the banquet at the Corpse Palace. Why are they being so humble?"
"Banquet?"
"What is the Corpse Palace planning to do?"
Xiao Tiexin, Dong Xue, and Long Shan stood in front of Jian Wushuang with a strange expression.
"My Sword Alliance has just taken over the Seven Absolute Palace and Blood Water Gang. I'm afraid the Corpse Palace is up to no good by inviting you to the banquet at this time," said Xiao Tiexin.
"If I'm not wrong, the people from the Divine Dragon Pavilion and Purple Dress House will also appear at the banquet," said Dong Xue.
"Perhaps." Jian Wushuang nodded.
He could also tell that this banquet was most likely a trap set up to deal with him.
"Alliance Master, since the banquet is so dangerous, it's fine if you don't go," said Hei Yan.
"That's right. Anyway, with my Sword Alliance's current strength, we don't need to be afraid of the Corpse Palace anymore. We don't have to bother about the banquet," said Zi Shan.
"Although that's the case, I don't plan to completely fall out with the Corpse Palace. The Corpse Palace has previously given me a valuable gift and is now humbling themselves to give me face. It doesn't make sense if I don't go."
"Moreover, I have a feeling that the banquet isn't as simple as it seems," said Jian Wushuang.
"It's not as simple as it seems?" Xiao Tiexin and the others were puzzled.
"The Corpse Palace's behavior is too strange. Among the surrounding third-rated forces, the Corpse Palace is the strongest. Moreover, they have the support of Star Fort. With such a great advantage, why hasn't the Corpse Palace contended for hegemony? They've even been very polite and humble to the surrounding third-rated forces. This is somewhat unusual. "
"When my Sword Alliance was established, the Corpse Palace even sent me a generous gift to express their goodwill. As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. I have a feeling that the Corpse Palace has been plotting something. We should be able to see the Corpse Palace's true intentions at this banquet," murmured Jian Wushuang as his fingers tapped on the armchair. He was deep in thought.
After a while, he finally made up his mind.
"I'll go to the banquet."
"Alliance Master …" Xiao Tiexin and the others were shocked.
Jian Wushuang smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry. The banquet may be very dangerous, but it's impossible for the Corpse Palace to make me stay. Not to mention the Corpse Palace, even the Star Fort behind them doesn't have the ability to do so."
He had absolute confidence in his strength and means. Although there were people in the Ancient God Domain who could kill him, they were definitely not in the Danyang Continent. Moreover, the Corpse Palace in front of him was merely a third-rated force in the Danyang Continent.
Xiao Tiexin and the others looked at each other upon hearing that, but they did not try to persuade him.
However, Long Shan still said, "Alliance Master, for safety's sake, why don't I lead the Divine Sword Army and wait outside the Corpse Palace? If anything happens at the banquet, you only need to send a message and the Divine Sword Army will immediately rush over."
"That's feasible." Jian Wushuang nodded.
After making the decision, Long Shan immediately ordered the Divine Sword Army to prepare.
Three days later, Jian Wushuang set off for the Corpse Palace.
The Corpse Palace was extremely powerful among the third-rated forces. It controlled a large territory and had a total of three cities.
The Corpse Palace was where the Corpse Palace's headquarters was located.
The Divine Sword Army stayed outside the Corpse Palace while Jian Wushuang entered the Corpse Palace alone.
As soon as he entered the city, Gu Mo, who had been waiting for him, immediately welcomed him.
"Haha, I've long heard of Alliance Master Su Han's name, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, I finally get to meet you." Gu Mo was extremely enthusiastic.
"I've also heard of Palace Master Gu Mo's name for a long time and I'm fortunate enough to meet you today. May I know if Palace Master Corpse Palace is also in the palace?" Jian Wushuang asked politely.
"My elder brother is also here. However, he has been in seclusion all year round and did not receive you. I hope Alliance Master Su Han doesn't mind." Gu Mo smiled.
