Honored Lord Ri harrumphed coldly. He wasn't happy to hear the hidden meaning in Dao Sovereign's words, so he suppressed his anger.
He forcefully suppressed his anger and calmly replied, "Dao Sovereign, don't forget that the Poison Sect has already swallowed the Heaven Sect. There are at least six Martial Honors in the Poison Sect. The Six Great Martial Honors Sects are already the strongest Sect in the Lower Realm. If we don't weaken them, you and I will be finished sooner or later. Right now, we can only work together to stop the Poison Sect from swallowing and nibbling away at us.
Although his words were a little exaggerated, the truth wasn't far off.
The Poison Sect was currently digesting the Celestial Sect's territory and resources. Their overall strength wouldn't be able to reach first place in the short term, but they were steadily increasing. They were almost on equal footing with the Sun Moon Star Sect now, which was why the Sun Moon Star Sect was worried. As long as they had enough time, the Poison Sect could surpass them at any time.
Now that they'd fallen out with Xiao Yang, the Sun Moon Star Sect would be the first to suffer if the Poison Sect truly rose.
Thus, the Sun Moon Star Sect was the most anxious right now.
The Dao Sovereign's eyes shrank when he heard this. He never thought that the tiny Poison Sect would have grown to such a level. They now had six Martial Sovereigns. Even the Dao Sect would not be able to bring out such battle power.
Xiao Yang could tell that Dao Sovereign was pondering and hesitating. He hurriedly said, "Dao Sovereign, my Poison Sect has never advocated for expansion. We only teach those who don't know the difference between life and death when they come knocking on our door. Dao Sovereign, you can rest assured that we can sign a non-aggression agreement and form an alliance. This way, my Poison Sect will grow stronger and can even help the Dao Sect develop."
"Of course, if Dao Sovereign plans to ally with the Sun Moon Star Sect, my Poison Sect won't be afraid. I, Xiao Yang, am even less afraid."
Xiao Yang spoke with both grace and authority. His gaze shifted to Honored Lord Ri, brimming with murderous intent.
It was at this moment that the city lord of Dao City came to report. He looked anxious as he said, "Dao Sovereign, we've received news that the Poison Sect has sent four Martial Sovereigns. They've already entered the Sun Moon Star Sect's territory. Based on their route and goal, they're coming for us."
"What?"
When Dao Master heard the news, he was shocked and in disbelief.
One of the four great Wu Zun was enough to destroy a sect in the Lower Realm.
From this, one could see how terrifying this energy was.
Now that the four great Wu Zun were here, as well as the extraordinary Wu Zun in Xiao Yang, what was the Poison Sect up to?
Things happened so fast that Dao Master could not make up his mind for a while.
He took a deep breath and hurriedly calmed himself down. Then, he brought the Dao City's City Lord a little further away and set up a formation that blocked the detection of divine sense. He said, "Is this news true?"
Dao City's City Lord naturally didn't dare to hide anything and said solemnly, "It is absolutely true. Our Dao Sect has confirmed it."
"Alright, you may leave. Prepare for battle. At the same time, use my name to notify the Dao Sect and ask the other two Wu Zun's to come and assist."
Dao Master quickly made up his mind.
Setting aside whether the four Wu Zun's from the Poison Sect were friends or foes, just Xiao Yang's appearance here was enough to give him a headache. Thus, sending Wu Zun's was the right choice.
After the Dao City's City Lord left, one of Honored Ri's direct disciples from the Sun Moon Star Sect entered the city lord's manor. He quickly found Honored Ri and reported the news.
"What? That's the case? "
"The Poison Sect is truly audacious. Don't they know that there's a Jigō Sect above them?"
Honored Ri couldn't believe it when he heard the news. At the same time, he felt a wave of lingering fear.
His Sun Moon Star Sect only had three great Wu Zun, but the Poison Sect had sent four of them. Including Xiao Yang, this Wu Zun made five great Wu Zun's. What was the Poison Sect up to?
Wasn't the situation clear enough?
They were probably going to start a war with the Sun Moon Star Sect.
At this thought, Honored Ri's breathing quickened. His face paled and his expression was grave. Things had gotten out of hand.
If he hadn't targeted Xiao Yang back then, things might not have gotten out of hand.
"Tao Master, you must have heard the news. The Poison Sect is lawless and insufferably arrogant. They directly sent four Martial Venerables here. They simply don't put the Jiguang Sect in their eyes. If we don't join forces, both the Sun Moon Star Sect and the Taoism Sect are likely to be destroyed by the Poison Sect."
"Dao Master, there's no need to hesitate now. Let's join forces."
Honored Ri hurriedly urged Dao Master.
There wasn't much time left. Based on Wu Zun's speed, it wouldn't take half a day for the Poison Sect's four Wu Zun's to appear in front of them.
Before the four Wu Zun's arrived, Xiao Yang was a ticking time bomb. Only by controlling Xiao Yang would they have the right to negotiate with the four Wu Zun's. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Xiao Yang, do you still have something to say? You're just toying with me, telling me to join forces while having your Poison Sect's Wu Zun launch a surprise attack. What's the meaning of this? Let me tell you, this Dao Master isn't easy to bully. "
Dao Master stood up and roared at Xiao Yang, his face full of anger.
Once the four Wu Zun's made a move, their two sects would have to send out five or six martial ancestors as well. This was a matter of life and death for their sects, so they couldn't afford to ignore it.
Xiao Yang blinked innocently as he digested the news in his heart. He hadn't expected the Poison Sect to value him so much that they'd send out the four Wu Zun's.
If he had the help of the four Wu Zun's, not to mention leaving this place safely, even destroying the Sun Moon Star Sect wouldn't be a problem.
Xiao Yang felt much more confident at this thought.
He said calmly, "Dao Master, the Poison Sect must be worried about my safety, so they sent the four Wu Zun's. Our Poison Sect has no interest in the Dao Sect, so we can still join forces. Even if we can't, I ask that the Dao Sect remain neutral. Otherwise, you'll be dragged into this battle. Our Poison Sect has always been lenient to others, so I hope Dao Master will think twice before acting."
Since the four Wu Zun's were already here, conflict with the Sun Moon Star Sect was inevitable.
Without the Dao Sect as an enemy, Xiao Yang's group would have a much easier time.
Dao Master Ri panicked, afraid that Xiao Yang would scare Dao Master away. He was also afraid that Dao Master would remain neutral. "Dao Master, your words can't be trusted. Don't fall for his tricks. When the Sun Moon Star Sect was destroyed, your Dao Sect couldn't escape either. Only by joining forces can we stop the Poison Sect's attack."
His words were hurried, and his expression was flustered.
If Dao Master remained neutral, the consequences would be unimaginable.
His Sun Moon Star Sect wouldn't be able to withstand the five Wu Zun's attacks. As long as Dao Master joined them, they would be able to form a line of defense.
