Although Ji Tianxing directly blocked Murphy and Zi Lan's words, which seemed a little overbearing, the two of them would definitely feel aggrieved.
However, this was undoubtedly the best outcome. Otherwise, Ji Tianxing would open his mouth to reject their request and both sides would have to bargain for a while.
Ji Tianxing first agreed to one of their conditions. After making them feel at ease, he then cut off all of their fantasies.
Moreover, he also threw out his trump card and cut off their escape route, leaving them with no way out.
The negotiation ended just like that.
"This …" Murphy's expression was a little gloomy. His heart was filled with disappointment and grievance.
Zi Lan sighed silently and could only nod. "Alright, Kenshin, we agree to form an alliance with you and help you fight against the powerhouses from the two great temples. I hope you'll keep your promise."
In reality, this was just a little bit of stubbornness and dignity that they retained after compromising.
Whether Ji Tianxing would keep his promise or not was not something that they could decide or restrict.
On the contrary, they were in a very passive situation. No matter what, they had to fight against the powerhouses from the two great temples. They could only go with the flow and quit while they were ahead.
"If there's nothing else, you may leave." Ji Tianxing did not say anything more to them and waved his hand to send them off.
Murphy and Zi Lan were disappointed. After bowing, they turned around and left.
After they left the secret chamber, Ji Tianxing waved his hand and shot out a ray of divine light. He closed the door of the secret chamber and continued his closed-door cultivation.
Previously, he had been cultivating the Heaven Punishment Divine Skill and comprehending the Level Nine technique. He was thinking of ways to condense the seventh Daoist Rhyme.
In the end, when he finally found a clue and was about to condense the foundation and embryonic form of the Daoist Rhyme, he was interrupted by Murphy and Zi Lan.
It was also because of his good manners that he did not get angry at Murphy and Zi Lan. Instead, he negotiated with them and decided on the cooperation.
Of course, during this period, he did not speak to them in a friendly manner.
Now that Murphy and Zi Lan had left, there should be no one else to disturb him. He then went into closed-door cultivation in peace, preparing to condense the seventh Daoist Rhyme and break through to the upper level of God Emperor.
…
Murphy and Zi Lan remained invisible. They concealed their auras and quietly left the palace where Ji Tianxing lived.
They originally wanted to quietly return to the Great Council Hall and then leave openly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left Ji Tianxing's palace, they saw Xuan Bing and Zi Dian standing calmly in the sky, looking at them with half-smiles.
Although they had concealed their tracks and auras, they could not hide from Xuan Bing and Zi Dian.
Moreover, judging from the looks and expressions of Xuan Bing and Zi Dian, it was obvious that they had already guessed that they would come here.
"What should we do?"
"They're here to laugh at me!"
Mo Fei and Zi Lan glanced at each other and secretly discussed how they should deal with this.
Both of them had the same thought. Since the other party was here to laugh at them, they couldn't let the other party succeed.
Even if they had been discovered by the other party, the two of them had to pretend that they hadn't seen anything and turned to fly away.
However, Xuan Bing and Zi Dian did not intend to let them go so easily. They insisted on humiliating them a few times before they were willing to let them go.
Therefore, Xuan Bing and Zi Dian chased after the two of them and shouted, "Murphy, Zi Dian, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"You just came to our cave residence today. We haven't invited you to a banquet yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Stop being invisible. We're in our own territory. There's no need to be so sneaky."
"You should have achieved your goal, right? This is a good thing. You should be happy. "
Hearing these words, Murphy and Zi Lan were naturally embarrassed and angry. They quickly sped up and ran away.
Xuan Bing and Zi Dian just wanted to tease them and give them a little warning. They were not willing to fall out with them. After chasing for a while, they left.
What happened next was just as they expected.
The two of them went back to deal with various matters. Murphy and Zi Lan did not stay for a moment. They directly left the cave residence and returned to their base.
For the next few days, the two of them stayed in the base and did not show their faces. They also did not contact Xuan Bing and Zi Dian.
It was not until a few days later when the awkward atmosphere faded that they pretended as if nothing had happened and entered the cave residence. They went to discuss countermeasures with Xuan Bing and Zi Dian.
Since everyone was well aware of the situation, Xuan Bing and Zi Dian did not mock them anymore. The two sides seriously discussed how to arrange the troops, determine the command authority, contact methods, secret signals, and other details.
In short, Murphy and Zi Lan had already joined the alliance. They could only carry out this mission seriously and try their best to perform well in order to leave a good impression on Kenshin.
In this way, after this mission was over, they would be able to obtain the corresponding or even more rewards from the Sword God.
At this time, Ji Tianxing was at a critical juncture in his closed-door cultivation. He was about to condense the embryonic form of his seventh Daoist Rhyme.
In the depths of the Chaos Sea in the north, at the border of the Evernight Sea, Taiyu and the Immortal God Emperor had also been waiting for a month. They had long since recovered to their peak condition.
In the following period of time, the temple lords of the two temples had also led their elite soldiers to the border of the Evernight Sea to meet up with them.
Even Suzerain Jadefall, who had come from the Unknown Lands, was there to see the experts from the two temples.
The experts of the Taiyu Shrine had not only crossed their own territory, but also the Unknown Lands and the Pantheon of Immortality's territory. In the end, they had arrived at the depths of the Chaos Sea. It was truly a trek of mountains and rivers, crossing almost half of the Continent of Origin.
However, the Taiyu Shrine had turned out in full force. Not only had the Taiyu God Emperor come in person, but he had also brought all the temple lords and thousands of elite soldiers.
The Lord of Sky, on the other hand, was different. He had been fighting alone all this time.
The beastkin godkings who had followed him had long since lost their way in the Chaos Sea. In the end, they had no choice but to return the way they had come.
Logically speaking, now that things had developed to this point, it was already a fight between immortals. Two great temples against the Sword God and several sea beast lords, it was definitely not a battle that a beast lord like him could participate in.
If he had been rational enough, he would've retreated long ago.
However, he was unwilling to give up. He had already chased them so far and paid a certain price. No matter what, he had to follow them to the end.
Even if he couldn't participate in the battle, there was no way he could emerge victorious. However, he knew that the upcoming battle in the Evernight Sea would change the course of history. There was no way he could miss it.
Even as a bystander, witnessing a world-changing event with his own eyes was a kind of opportunity.
Hence, he didn't approach the experts of the two temples after arriving at the border of the Evernight Sea. He only watched from afar.
He was waiting, waiting for Kenshin and the sea beast lords to appear, waiting for the curtains to the shocking battle to begin.
What he hadn't expected, however, was that the experts of the two temples not only didn't chase him away or threaten him, but even took the initiative to express their goodwill.
