"Just now, I contacted them through the Voice-transmitting Formation, but the Illusionary God Sect directly refused my request. Although the Sikong Clan accepted my request, Sikong Qing said that Sikong Zhengqing is now in closed-door training, so he can't make the decision. He needs to wait for Sikong Zhengqing to come out of closed-door training before he can make a decision," Ye Wuheng said with a sullen face.
"Do we have to wait for Sikong Zhengqing to make a decision?" Ye Wenjun mocked. "Sikong Qing is the head of the family. He can't even make a decision on such a small matter. Is he just a puppet of Sikong Zhengqing?"
The others didn't mock with Ye Wenjun. Ye Wenyan frowned. "The situation can change in an instant. By the time Sikong Zhengqing comes out, I'm afraid it will be too late. Wuheng, do you think the Sikong Family is telling the truth? Do they not want to join forces with us against the Illusionary God Sect? Or is Sikong Zhengqing really in seclusion? "
Ye Wuhen stroked her chin and said, "Half and half. Sikong Zhengqing is indeed in closed-door training. After he was defeated by you last time, he had an epiphany and went back to closed-door training. The reason why the Holy Palace of Eight Corners failed to make a decision in time during the beast tide in the Zhongzhou State was that Sikong Zhengqing was in closed-door training. But maybe Sikong Qing doesn't want to join forces with us against the Illusionary God Sect. After all, I killed his sister, and his son, Sikong Tiancai, was killed by Xuan 'er. Maybe it's possible to join forces with us against foreign enemies. But now he's joining forces with us against his ally. "
Ye Wenyan frowned and didn't say anything. Clearly, he didn't expect Sikong Zhengqing to really be in seclusion. He also didn't expect Sikong Qing to be so oblivious to the big picture. No wonder the Holy Temple of Eight Directions hadn't made any progress in recent years. Even the Nangong Family had been forced into the arms of the Jiuhua Alliance.
Seeing no one say anything, Lu Xuan couldn't help but say, "The Illusionary God Sect doesn't want to contact us. They've made it clear that they won't give Saul away. As for the Sikong Family, if they don't want to do anything, then let them be. No matter what, we can't do nothing just because the Sikong Family doesn't want to do anything. As long as they can maintain their neutrality and not help either side, at worst, we can rely on our own strength to deal with the Illusory God Sect. We can try to move their emotions and reason with them. If that still doesn't work, then we can only threaten and bribe them, or even use force. At that time, the Illusory God Sect might not be able to withstand it. "
Ye Wenyan let out a soft sigh and said, "Xuan 'er, what you said is the last resort. If we really reach the last step, it will not be a good thing for the Heavenly Sword Continent. Even if we don't involve anyone else, there will be many casualties between us and the Illusory God Sect."
Lu Xuan said sternly, "Even so, it's still better than letting Saul wreak havoc. Once Saul's conspiracy succeeds, it will affect the entire continent."
Ye Wenyan nodded and said, "You're right. Even if it's the last resort, we must go. Now that things have come to this, someone has to step up. Since the Sikong family is unwilling, then the Jiuhua Alliance will not stand aside. We will also have the Myriad Shark Island provide assistance from the side. I believe the Illusory God Sect will not be so stubborn."
At this, Ye Wenyan looked at Ye Wuheng and said, "Wuheng, pass on my orders. All warriors of the Jiuhua Alliance are to prepare for war. Stop all cultivation and missions, and be ready to go. Inform He Ritian of the Myriad Shark Island that we need them to cooperate with us. At the very least, we need someone who can make decisions to come with us to the Illusory God Sect. Also, inform the Illusory God Sect and the Sikong family of our decision and determination.
"Understood." Ye Wuheng nodded in response. Then, she turned to the elders of the Jiuhua Alliance and said, "Elder Long, Elder Xiang, Elder Zhou, you have heard the old Alliance Master's words. You will deploy the members of the Alliance. I will communicate with the Myriad Shark Island, the Sikong family, and the Illusory God Sect."
"Yes, sir!" Long Boming and the other two rose to their feet, then turned and left. This was clearly the largest operation the Jiuhua Alliance had undertaken in the last decade.
Ye Wuheng left with the three elders. Given the relationship between the Myriad Shark Island and the Jiuhua Alliance, it was no problem for the Myriad Shark Island to help. As for the Sikong family, since Sikong Qing did not dare to make the decision to ally with the Jiuhua Alliance against the Illusory God Sect, he could not make the decision to stand against the Jiuhua Alliance either.
As for the Illusory God Sect, Ye Wuheng had no expectations at all. She had given them an ultimatum. If they suddenly came to their senses, that would be the best. If they could not, the Jiuhua Alliance was ready to launch an expedition at any time. If they were going to play, they would play big. They would make the entire Heavenly Sword Continent lively!
After Ye Wuheng left, Ye Wenyan gave a few words of advice to Lu Xuan and the others. This was definitely not the end. This was just the beginning. No one could tell how far the situation would go. The only thing they could control now was their own strength. History had proven countless times that strength was the only magic weapon that could guarantee victory. As long as they could keep Saul in check, no matter how bad the situation was, it would not be completely out of control.
Lu Xuan did not return to Mount Jiuhua. Instead, he returned to his room and meditated. He had lost interest in Asura Mountain. As for Life and Death Mountain, he did not dare to take the risk. Now that such a major incident had occurred, he naturally gave up on the idea.
Not long after he returned to his room, Zhao Binger pushed the door open and entered. They were not qualified to participate in the meeting just now. She felt that they could not be an exception just because they were Lu Xuan's women.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood?" Zhao Binger asked as she sat down beside Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan sighed softly. He picked up Zhao Binger's small hand and held it. "It's all because of Saul. He's stirring up trouble again."
After saying this, Lu Xuan roughly explained the situation to Zhao Binger. There was no need to keep it a secret. There were many people in the Jiuhua Alliance who knew about Saul.
After listening to Lu Xuan, Zhao Binger held Lu Xuan's hand with both hands and comforted him. "You don't have to feel too much pressure. The Heavenly Sword Continent has gone through so many trials and tribulations, but hasn't it always been fine? Perhaps there are still many people who have yet to awaken, but if things really get out of hand, as long as everyone works together, we might be able to deal with Saul. We were able to survive the calamity ten thousand years ago, so what about now?"
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly as he stroked Zhao Binger's hair. "Even so, I don't know why, but I feel very uneasy. I've always trusted my intuition. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen this time. It might even be comparable to the calamity ten thousand years ago."
"It doesn't matter. I believe you. If we really need an unparalleled hero to save the Heavenly Sword Continent, I believe that person will definitely be you." Zhao Binger's eyes burned as she looked at Lu Xuan.
