Lin Yun agreed to the man in the mirror and the group flew toward Longhu City.
Not long after, the soldiers who were forced to leave Tailiang City returned, including the scarecrow.
To the man in the mirror's surprise, the Onyx Empress and Tight-Fitting Hedgehog returned from the East Sea as well.
The Onyx Empress and Tight-Fitting Hedgehog were extremely worried when they heard that the man in the mirror had been captured by the three Overlord Hunters on their way to the East Sea. They decided not to go to the East Sea and returned to Tailiang City instead.
The man in the mirror was touched by their actions. He did not expect them to be so loyal.
After some time, Lin Yun and the rest arrived at Longhu City.
On the way, Ye Shenghui had already informed Long Chenfeng through a voice transmission talisman, instructing him to prepare a feast.
By the time everyone arrived at the main hall, all sorts of delicacies and wine had been prepared.
Apart from Lin Yun and the three Wu Sheng experts, Tu Shenzong and Long Chenfeng also appeared at the feast.
The rest were at the North Sea headquarters and did not attend the feast.
After everyone had taken their seats, the banquet began.
However, the atmosphere in the main hall was a little tense. The Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin powerhouses remained silent and kept drinking without saying a word.
After a round of drinks, Lin Yun and Ji Leshan began chatting.
"Why are you guys here?" Lin Yun asked.
Ji Leshan took a sip of wine before he began to explain the sequence of events.
It turned out that when the three Overlord Hunters contacted Dao Ying, the information was intercepted by the intelligence team.
The intelligence team obtained all the steps of the entire operation and reported it to the Anti-Alliance Holy Church in full detail.
The Holy Religion knew that the Sacred Alliance had sent three fifth-level Wu Sheng experts to capture Lin Yun, so they sent Ji Leshan to bring two sixth-level Wu Sheng experts, the Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin brothers to help.
After listening to Ji Leshan's explanation, Murong Fangshi and the rest looked at each other. They were surprised and excited at the same time.
From what Ji Leshan said, it seemed that the Holy Religion was trying to rope in Lin Yun.
Lin Yun frowned. Things were just as he had guessed. Ji Leshan must have come to rope him in.
"Lin Yun, you're a smart man. I don't think I need to say much for you to understand." Ji Leshan's words were vague, but everyone understood what he meant.
Frowning his brows, Lin Yun drank his wine in silence.
Murong Frown and the other two listened attentively.
In their opinion, it would be a good thing if the God Massacring Sect could obtain the protection of the Holy Church.
Judging from Dao Ying and the other two's attitude today, they could tell that the Sacred Alliance placed great importance on capturing Lin Yun.
This time, they were lucky to have Ji Leshan appear, but if the Sacred Alliance sent a few more Martial Sages next time, what should they do?
This time, there were three fifth-level Wu Sheng. Next time, there might be three seventh-level Wu Sheng.
They couldn't just hide in the headquarters and do nothing, right?
"It's hard to support a lone tree. I've said it before." Ji Leshan sighed. He had predicted Lin Yun's attitude before he came. He knew that it would not be easy for him to persuade Lin Yun.
Lin Yun drank his wine thoughtfully. The Sea King, Alchemist Murong, and even Ji Leshan had said the phrase 'a lone tree cannot support itself' before.
Everyone was persuading him to form an alliance with the Holy Religion. He had mentioned it to Xiao Yin before, and Xiao Yin had also persuaded him to form an alliance with the Holy Religion.
After all, Lin Yun was not the eternal Emperor Wu from a hundred years ago.
"Lin Yun, given our relationship, I won't say too much." Ji Leshan stood up and walked in front of Lin Yun, looking straight into Lin Yun's eyes.
"The purpose of my visit this time is to persuade you to form an alliance with the Holy Religion."
"The higher-ups have decided to officially invite Tu Shenzong to become one of the The Seven Devils."
"The conflict between you and the Sacred Alliance has reached a point where it cannot be resolved."
Lin Yun smiled. Ji Leshan had appeared today to stop Dao Ying.
On the surface, it looked like he was helping him. In fact, he had indirectly sent a message to the Sacred Alliance. That was, Tu Shenzong was already on the same boat as the Holy Religion.
In this way, the conflict between the Sacred Alliance and Lin Yun could not be resolved.
The reason the Holy Religion did this was to force Lin Yun into a corner and force Lin Yun to form an alliance with the Holy Religion.
"You should know my answer." Lin Yun took a sip of wine calmly. Although he and Ji Leshan had not known each other for long, they knew each other's character.
Ji Leshan shook his head with a smile and continued to persuade, "I know your answer, and the Holy Church also knows your answer. That's why they sent me here."
"I know you have great ambitions in the future, but the Primordial Divine Hall's dominance from a hundred years ago no longer exists."
"Now, it's the right decision to cooperate with the Holy Religion to resist the Sacred Alliance."
Upon hearing Ji Leshan's words, Murong Fangshi and the other two secretly transmitted their voices to Lin Yun. They advised Lin Yun to think twice and not to reject them.
However, Lin Yun put down his wine glass and stared at Ji Leshan. He did not pay attention to their transmission at all.
He had always wondered if Ji Leshan knew his true identity, or if he had already suspected it.
He was sure that Ji Leshan knew about the Purple Flame Devil Saber, and it was also Ji Leshan who provided him with the information about Wu Ren.
Lin Yun looked into Ji Leshan's eyes, trying to see what he was thinking.
However, he was sure that Ji Leshan would not tell the Holy Religion no matter what he guessed about him.
After all, if the Holy Religion had any doubts about him, they would not have tolerated it until now.
Instead, they would forcefully take him away the moment they received Ji Leshan's report.
"The Holy Religion can give you resources and also provide you with protection."
"There will definitely be a battle between you and the Sacred Alliance in the future."
"Cooperating with the Holy Religion is a win-win situation."
Hearing Ji Leshan's words, even the Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang felt that Lin Yun would agree to it.
However, Lin Yun's answer was out of everyone's expectations except for Ji Leshan.
"I refuse." Lin Yun's words were straightforward and without the slightest bit of hesitation.
The reason for his refusal was simple. He did not want to be ordered around by others. That was all.
Murong Fangshi and the other two smiled bitterly. Lin Yun still refused.
Long Chenfeng was very calm. He knew Lin Yun's personality and that Lin Yun liked to be alone and did not want to be controlled by any force.
Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin seemed to be a little angry as they stared at Lin Yun.
Ji Leshan sighed and said, "Can I have a word with you?"
Lin Yun looked at him for a long time before he nodded his head.
The two walked side by side and left the hall, arriving at the back of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
