At this moment, Jianchen, Xiao Man, and Ziyun sat around a stone table in an elegant garden within Poseidon Palace.
Although Jianchen had come as a representative of the Martial Soul lineage to discuss the details of the alliance with Xiao Man, the three of them did not talk about the alliance for a very long time. Instead, they began to chat casually.
Xiao Man, on the other hand, seemed to have suddenly found someone she could rely on after seeing Jian Chen. She told him about all the grievances, worries, and fears she had gone through in the past few years. She even began to sob when she talked about how she had been surrounded by so many experts. She was so pitiful that it made people want to take pity on her.
"All the Pyrnite Ore in Poseidon Palace has ended up in the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's hands?" Jianchen naturally learnt about the deal between Xiao Man and the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, which made his face change slightly.
Although the Pyrnite Ore was only a high grade God Tier material, he had learnt from the Samsaric Immortal Exalt that it was nowhere near as simple as it seemed on the surface.
This was because the Pyrnite Ore was an essential material for forging a super weapon. Once the super weapon was forged, it would be a disaster for the Immortals' World and Demons' World.
"Back in Poseidon Palace, I was so weak that I struggled to even approach the Pyrnite Ore, so I couldn't take it away. Originally, I planned on using other items to exchange for the Pyrnite Ore from Xiao Man once I became stronger. I never thought the Pyrnite Ore would end up in the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's hands. " Jianchen thought, Plans really can't keep up with the changes. He failed to take the Pyrnite Ore back then, but he never thought he would miss out on it forever.
This was because he understood that since the Pyrnite Ore had ended up in the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's hands, there was no hope for him to take it back unless he was powerful enough to not fear the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
However, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He was one of the most powerful experts only second to Grand Exalts. He stood proudly in his world. He could not even deal with the weakest Chaotic Prime right now, so the difference between him and the Heaven-splitting Ancestor could not be described as an insurmountable chasm.
"But why does the Heaven-splitting Ancestor need so much Pyrnite Ore?" However, Jianchen was also curious. High grade God Tier materials were very precious, but they did not seem to interest an expert like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
"Brother Jianchen, where did you go after leaving the Desolate Plane …"
"Brother Jianchen, when did you join the Martial …"
.....
Afterwards, Xiao Man was like a curious child. She began to ask about Jianchen's experiences and matters in the past few years. Ziyun would chime in from time to time as well.
In the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed. Jianchen saw how Xiao Man showed no signs of stopping, so he finally could not help but interrupt her. "Xiao Man, let's discuss the specifics of the alliance."
"An alliance!" Xiao Man's eyes swiveled around. In the end, she glanced at Ziyun and giggled. "It's not like I know anything about alliances, so I might as well let sister Ziyun discuss it with you. As long as sister Ziyun decides on something, I'll follow it unconditionally. Sister Zi Yun, you have to have a good talk with brother Jian Chen. I'm going to go cultivate first. "With that, she said.
After saying that, Xiao Man made a funny face at Ziyun before running off. At the same time, she said secretly, "Sister Ziyun, I've created an opportunity for you to meet brother Jianchen alone. You have to grasp it well."
"Little girl, what are you talking about?" Ziyun blushed slightly. She could not help but spit on the ground gently. She glanced at Jianchen from the corner of her eye rather guiltily as her heart thumped.
Even the Divine King could not hide Xiao Man's message from her at such a low level of cultivation, let alone Jianchen who was even stronger. As a result, Ziyun knew that Jianchen must have heard Xiao Man's message earlier.
"This girl must have done it on purpose," she cursed inside, but she actually felt some sweetness and eagerness.
"Miss Ziyun, since Xiao Man has given you the choice, you can represent the Azure Poseidon Palace to discuss the specifics of the alliance with our Martial Soul lineage." Jianchen's voice rang out. His expression was natural, without any abnormalities at all. It was as if he had not heard Xiao Man's message at all.
Ziyun immediately felt a slight sense of disappointment when she saw how Jianchen acted like he knew nothing. However, she did not show it. She sucked in a deep breath and began to formally discuss the alliance with Jianchen.
The details of the alliance were very simple. It was just an agreement between the Martial Soul lineage and the Azure Poseidon Palace. The Martial Soul lineage would be responsible for protecting the Azure Poseidon Palace, protecting the master of the Azure Poseidon Palace before she became powerful. All the Azure Poseidon Palace needed to do was provide some assistance as a high quality god artifact when the Martial Soul lineage waged wars against the outside world.
Very soon, Jianchen finished explaining the requests and suggestions from Hun Zang and the others.
"The greatest enemy of your Martial Soul lineage is the Radiant Saint Hall. Allying with the Martial Soul lineage is equivalent to using the Radiant Saint Hall to replace the peak experts who have been chasing us through outer space. Alright, no problem. I agree to allying with you on behalf of Xiao Man. At the very least, we can continue cultivating here peacefully after allying with you. " Ziyun agreed without any hesitation, as the Martial Soul lineage's request was very simple. It did not involve too many benefits. Moreover, the Azure Poseidon Palace would take most of the benefits, so there was nothing to consider.
"If that's the case, I'll go tell my seniors about the decision." Jianchen immediately stood up after witnessing everything. He was about to leave the Azure Poseidon Palace.
"Jianchen!" Ziyun leapt to her feet and called out at Jianchen's back.
Jianchen paused. He looked back at Ziyun and said, "Miss Ziyun, is there anything else?"
The light in Ziyun's eyes flickered when she saw how doubtful Jianchen was. She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Aren't you going to stay a little longer? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" There was some hidden bitterness in her voice.
"It's fine. My seniors are still waiting for me to tell them about the decision. We'll all be on the Martial Soul Mountain in the future anyway, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet," Jianchen replied politely before leaving the Azure Poseidon Palace without looking back.
