Dark Heaven Peak, Nether Sect's main altar.
The words' Thousand Mountain Alliance 'were written on the plaque of the main altar's main hall.
Gao Zhengyang sat on his throne and looked down at the many cultivators in the hall.
The three Nascent Souls of the Nether Sect stood at the front with many Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Nether Sect behind them. On the other side were the two Nascent Souls who had been recruited. They were Perfected Lord Golden Snake and Perfected Lord Ten Sins.
Behind the two Perfected Lords stood more than 20 Golden Core and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. These were all cultivators who had been recruited into the sect.
Gao Zhengyang had only established the Thousand Mountain Alliance for a few weeks and the cultivators he recruited had yet to integrate into the Nether Sect. The forces of both sides were vaguely in a stalemate. However, the Nether Sect was domineering. Although the recruited cultivators were resentful, they did not dare to act out.
The Thousand Mountain Alliance had only been established for a short period of time. Although Gao Zhengyang's forceful methods could intimidate everyone, it could not convince them. Therefore, the Thousand Mountain Alliance was merely a name until now.
Today, the three flying ships of the Blood Saber Sect had arrived at Dark Heaven Peak and sent a message for the Thousand Mountain Alliance to surrender. Otherwise, they would kill everyone in the Thousand Mountain Alliance.
The three ferocious flying ships made all the cultivators of the Thousand Mountain Alliance feel immense pressure. Although the cultivators were located in the northwest, they often heard of the Blood Saber Sect. They were all fearful of the Blood Saber Sect.
The Blood Saber Sect's conditions also stated that as long as they surrendered immediately and handed over Gao Zhengyang, they would not pursue the matter.
The conditions were too generous. Everything would be fine as long as they handed over Gao Zhengyang. Even the cultivators from the Nether Sect were tempted, let alone the cultivators who were recruited by the Nether Sect.
Gao Zhengyang was an outsider to begin with. He had neither prestige nor experience. He was only able to rise to power with the full support of the three Nascent Souls. The Nether Sect members also believed that the three Nascent Souls were responsible for the destruction of the Thousand Ghost Sect.
Sect Master Gao Zhengyang had only been in charge of making threats from the start. He had not done anything else.
The middle and lower levels of the Nether Sect did not have much respect for Gao Zhengyang. As long as they handed over Gao Zhengyang, they would be able to avoid disaster. Of course, everyone was very willing.
No one knew how many Gold Core Realm cultivators had come to Xuan Ming and the other two to persuade them to give up Gao Zhengyang.
Of course, Xuan Ming and the others wouldn't allow it. All three of their divine souls were in Gao Zhengyang's hands. If something happened to Gao Zhengyang, they could only die with him.
However, Xuan Ming, Xuan You, and Xuan Yin had discussed how to deal with this matter. No matter where Gao Zhengyang came from, he clearly couldn't deal with the Blood Knife Cult now.
Now that the Blood Knife Sect was really angry, being tied to Gao Zhengyang would only lead to death. Only by thinking of a way to undo this Divine Soul Restriction would he have a chance to survive.
The problem was that the three of them had tried many times in private, but they couldn't find any solution. Although they also wanted to betray Gao Zhengyang in exchange for their safety, they would not divulge this information to others. He could only hold on for now.
The atmosphere in the hall was very serious. Many people couldn't hide the fear on their faces. Many people were still secretly looking at Gao Zhengyang. Their eyes were complicated and full of malice.
Wei Lanjun, who was standing next to Gao Zhengyang, looked down and saw everyone's expressions clearly. Her heart was filled with anger and fear.
She hadn't even been angry yet, but these people were already planning to betray Gao Zhengyang. She was afraid that once this group of people exploded, even Gao Zhengyang wouldn't be able to suppress them.
If Gao Zhengyang fell, the best outcome for her would be to become a plaything of some Overlord. She had just seen the vastness and wonders of the world with Gao Zhengyang. She couldn't bear this ending.
Wei Lanjun couldn't think of any way to break out of this situation. The Blood Knife Cult was a behemoth that the Thousand Ghost Sect couldn't compare to. Even if they worked together and fought to the death, they wouldn't be able to stop the Blood Knife Cult. The best solution she could think of was to immediately escape from Thousand Mountain.
The world was so vast. As long as she left the northwest, with her master's divine power, she could do whatever she wanted. There was no need to keep her eyes on a small place like Thousand Mountain.
Wei Lanjun thought this, but she didn't dare to tell Gao Zhengyang. She was extremely respectful of this master. She couldn't understand Gao Zhengyang's thoughts at all. She didn't know what he wanted or liked.
After following Gao Zhengyang for a few days, she found that Gao Zhengyang wasn't interested in power, fame, or women. He seemed to only like cultivation. This kind of cultivation wasn't just a desire for power. It was more like a type of research, a hobby.
In short, Gao Zhengyang was purer than anyone thought. It was this unique purity that made others unable to understand him.
Wei Lanjun had only followed Gao Zhengyang for a long time and had extraordinary intelligence. Based on her intuition, she had some understanding of Gao Zhengyang. It was also because of this understanding that she felt that Gao Zhengyang could leave everything behind and leave easily.
But looking at Gao Zhengyang's current appearance, he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. He wanted to fight to the death!
Of course, Gao Zhengyang wouldn't leave. He had cast a large net and wanted to capture everyone in one fell swoop. But this plan was too astounding. He naturally wouldn't explain anything to Wei Lanjun.
"The Blood Blade Cult has gone too far, we cannot tolerate it."
Gao Zhengyang's gaze swept across the xiuzhe below and said in a deep voice, "At this step, we can only fight to the death. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. "
The murderous words caused all the xiuzhe to feel a chill in their hearts. Many of the xiuzhe with ulterior motives lowered their heads in agreement. At this time, no one dared to provoke Gao Zhengyang.
In reality, Gao Zhengyang's forceful attitude caused even more people to feel discontent. They didn't want to fight to the death. There was no need to fight a battle that they were fated to lose.
"Starting from today, no one is allowed to go out. Everyone in the formation is to be on guard day and night. There can be no mistakes. If any unit has a problem, the person in charge of that unit will take their head as an apology … … "
Gao Zhengyang issued a series of orders to make the newly established Thousand Mountain Alliance fully operational.
No matter what they thought, they could only agree.
Of course, the three Perfected Lords Mysterious Yin, Mysterious Underworld, and Mysterious You had their own ideas. But it wasn't convenient for them to say it in public.
After finishing his speech, Gao Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and left the hall. Wei Lanjun followed him and left as well.
Many of the xiuzhe in the hall didn't leave. After a while, they began to discuss.
Perfected Immortal Golden Snake went to find Mysterious Yin and Mysterious You. "Perfected Lords, the Blood Blade Cult is too powerful. We won't gain anything by force. Sect Master, please reconsider this matter. "
Perfected Immortal Golden Snake had a long face and small eyes. He was tall and thin, and his body seemed to be covered in a layer of gold powder. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, and he would occasionally hiss. Although he looked like a human, he was as cold and mysterious as a snake. It was unsettling no matter how one looked at it.
Perfected Lord Mysterious You nodded politely to Perfected Immortal Golden Snake. Not only did he look scary, but he also had a high cultivation level. He was also adept at controlling poisonous insects and was not to be trifled with.
He then said with a troubled expression, "Sect Master, you've made your own decisions. There's nothing we can do."
Perfected Immortal Golden Snake shook his head slightly. "The Thousand Mountain Alliance has just been formed. The Nether Sect has been around for thousands of years. If we don't handle this well, the sect will be destroyed … "
Perfected Lord Mysterious You asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any good ideas?"
Perfected Lord Golden Snake hesitated before saying, "What good ideas can I have? However, it's best for us to bow to the Blood Blade Cult for now. It's worth it even if we have to pay a price. "
Perfected Lord Mysterious You could not help but look at Mysterious Yin. Among the three of them, Mysterious Yin was the closest to Gao Zhengyang. Her original disciple, Wei Lanjun, had become Gao Zhengyang's beloved disciple. In comparison, Mysterious Yin was more persuasive.
Mysterious Yin was helpless as well. She had no right to speak in front of Gao Zhengyang. She used her consciousness to send a message to Perfected Lord Mysterious You. "This ship might sink. We have to think of something else …"
"What about the restriction?" Perfected Lord Mysterious You asked.
"The Blood Blade Cult might have a way. Why don't you ask them?"
Mysterious Yin said, "If they have a way to remove the restriction, we'll offer the Thousand Mountain Alliance to them. Including that person … "
Mysterious Yin still did not dare to say Gao Zhengyang's name directly, so she hinted at it vaguely.
Perfected Lord Mysterious You had the same idea and understood it tacitly. As for Perfected Lord Mysterious You, of course, he had no objections.
Although Gao Zhengyang had an extraordinary background, he was clearly at the end of the road. They could not die with him.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't we meet the Sect Master together and try our best to convince him …"
Perfected Lord Mysterious You and his two junior sisters came to an agreement and felt a little more confident. However, he still wanted to drag Perfected Lord Golden Snake along. The other party wanted to hide behind and come up with ideas so that he could sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Perfected Lord Golden Snake hesitated before nodding in agreement. He did not want to stand up for them, but it would be too late if he did not speak up now. Moreover, he could use this opportunity to leave this place legitimately. He would not have to return.
"What are you guys discussing …" Perfected Lord Ten Sins saw them discussing something and could not help but come over to ask.
"Fellow Daoist Ten Sins, you've come just in time. We're about to meet the Sect Master and ask him to think of the bigger picture and send someone to negotiate with the Blood Knife Sect first …"
Perfected Lord Mysterious You could not wait for more people. Seeing Perfected Lord Ten Sins coming over, he hurriedly dragged him along.
Perfected Lord Ten Sins had wanted to surrender and was ready to sneak out to look for the Blood Knife Sect. Since everyone had the same idea, it would save them a lot of trouble.
The value of a single person's investment and a group's investment were completely different.
Perfected Lord Ten Sins thought for a while and said, "The Sect Master is young and full of vigor. He has just given the order to fight to the death. I'm afraid he won't change his mind. Let's go negotiate first. It won't be too late to tell the Sect Master if there's any good news … "
Perfected Lord Ten Sins made it sound nice, but the Nascent Soul Perfected Lords were not stupid. They immediately understood Perfected Lord Ten Sins' plan. After all, the other party wanted Gao Zhengyang. They just had to give Gao Zhengyang away. There was no need for them to discuss with Gao Zhengyang!
Perfected Lord Mysterious Nether and the other two were a little hesitant. Gao Zhengyang had placed a restriction on their souls. If the Blood Knife Sect could not remove it, they would be doomed.
The three communicated with each other through their divine senses and finally decided to bet on both sides. Let Mysterious You go and check out the situation first. If the other party could remove the restriction on their souls, it wouldn't be too late for them to betray him.
If the other party could not remove the restriction, they could only think of another way.
