Chu Li asked, "Why force Senior Lu?"
"The Butterfly Dance Sect can't always stay aloof, right?" Yi Qingsong shook his head and sighed. "Outsiders see us as allies with the Butterfly Dance Sect. Even Sect Leader Lu can't stay aloof. The Heaven Devouring Sect will never let the Butterfly Dance Sect go."
Lu Qingxue narrowed her eyes and said nothing.
She knew Yi Qingsong was right. Everyone knew about the relationship between the Butterfly Dance Sect and the Dream Sect. It was too late to deny it unless they clearly stated which sect they were allied with.
However, she did not want to form an alliance so soon because the situation was unpredictable. The arcane realms were opening one after another. Judging by the situation, all twelve arcane realms would open soon. It would be a great purge and the original balance of power would be broken.
For example, the Flying Heaven Sect could not gain any advantage and was destined to be suppressed. However, they took advantage of the opening of the Tianfeng Sect's arcane realm and leaped to the top.
Even if they could not become the strongest sect, they would gain the resources of the arcane realm in advance. Their strength would increase greatly and they would not be too far behind. However, they would not be confident of winning in the end.
It was the same for the other sects. As long as they took advantage of the opening of the arcane realm and rose, they would have the chance to dominate the world. Of course, they also needed enough luck. For example, the Tianfeng Sect was unlucky.
The Dream Sect and the Demonic Sword Sect were strong but they might not be the last one standing. Therefore, they had to be cautious and analyze the information they received before placing their bets on the sect with the most hope.
This was not for her but for the Butterfly Dance Sect. It was the only way to live up to the position of sect leader.
Murong Chou scoffed. "That might not be the case. Everyone knows that the Dream Sect has a new sect leader. The Dream Sect might not be as close to the Butterfly Dance Sect after changing their sect leader."
He turned to Lu Qingxue. "Senior Lu, we are very sincere. We won't cheat the Butterfly Dance Sect!"
"Is this sincerity? They only sent you?" Yi Qingsong sneered.
He smiled at Chu Li. "We can't even compare to the Flying Heaven Sect. Am I right, Brother Wu?"
Chu Li laughed. "I came to discuss an alliance with Senior Lu. Unfortunately, Senior Lu didn't agree. The arcane realm has opened. Does the Dream Sect feel at ease now?"
"Of course, with such a rare opportunity, how can we not risk our lives?" Yi Qingsong said, "If it was Brother Wu, you would also do the same, right?"
Chu Li smiled. "It seems like Brother Yi is very confident, you really want to unify the entire Heavenly Demonic Realm!"
"You flatter me. We don't have that kind of strength right now." Yi Qingsong shook his head and sighed, "So, Brother Wu, do you want to fight side by side against the other sects?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Yi Qingsong to want to form an alliance with the Flying Heaven Sect.
Yi Qingsong said, "Brother Wu, we are friends of life and death. I owe you a great debt of gratitude, so I don't want to be enemies with you. Since you don't want to be enemies, why don't we form an alliance?"
Chu Li said, "The Great Dream Sect wants to unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm. How can they tolerate us?"
"Unifying the Skyfiend Realm doesn't necessarily mean swallowing all the sects. It's just a title." Yi Qingsong shook his head and said, "To be honest, it's very difficult and unnecessary to control the entire Sky Demon Realm. It's enough as long as everyone obeys us and listens to us."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Yi Qingsong was indeed very clear-headed. He did not have much ambition. Perhaps it was because he had only been the sect leader for a short period of time, or maybe it was because of his young age, or because of his identity, the Asura did not have much ambition.
If it was the previous sect leader, Cheng Yuan, he would have wanted to dominate the Heavenly Demonic Realm. Once he said something, no one would dare to disobey him.
Yi Qingsong turned to look at Murong Chou and laughed, "Master Murong, let's form an alliance with the Demonic Sword Sect. What do you think?"
"About that …" Murong Chou shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision. I have to report to the sect leader. However, we know a thing or two about the Great Dream Sect's tactics. As for forming an alliance …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
The Great Dream Sect was very good at playing tricks. They only cared about benefits. They spared no effort in scheming against their own people. It was impossible to guard against them, so it was best not to work with them. The Dancing Butterfly Sect trusted the Great Dream Sect because the sect leader, Cheng Yuan, was infatuated with Lu Qingxue. Otherwise, the Dancing Butterfly Sect would not have dared to get close to the Great Dream Sect.
Now that Cheng Yuan was gone, Yi Qingsong, the alliance leader, was replaced. No one knew his temperament. However, the Great Dream Sect only changed their sect leader. The remaining people were still there. How could they change their temperament and not scheme against others?
That was why the Dancing Butterfly Sect hesitated and no longer trusted the Great Dream Sect.
Yi Qingsong sighed, "Master Murong, I have good intentions. I don't want to become enemies with the Demonic Sword Sect and kill each other."
"That would be best." Murong Chou scoffed.
Lu Qingxue remained silent.
Yi Qingsong turned to look at Chu Li, "Brother Wu, have you thought about it?"
Murong Chou saw his hesitation and said impatiently, "Why do you have to make things difficult for Brother Wu? He doesn't have the final say. There are still the old people in the sect! "
Yi Qingsong smiled, "I believe that with Brother Wu's tactics, you already have the Flying Heaven Sect under your control."
Chu Li sighed, "If it's an alliance, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Really?" Yi Qingsong quickly asked.
Chu Li nodded, "The Flying Heaven Sect has no desires. We don't want to unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm, nor do we want to conquer the world. We don't have the intention nor the ability to do so. We only want to protect ourselves."
Murong Chou quickly said, "If you want to protect yourself, don't form an alliance with the Great Dream Sect. You'll only be a burden to them. When the time comes, you'll be tied together. You can't not fight with your life on the line."
Qin Mengyun, who had a bitter look on her face, quickly nodded.
Although she did not have a good impression of Murong Chou, she felt that what he said made sense.
Chu Li smiled.
Yi Qingsong coldly looked at Murong Chou and scoffed, "Master Murong, it seems that we can only become enemies with the Demonic Sword Sect."
"That might not be the case. You should first get through the Heaven Devouring Sect before saying such things!" Murong Chou chuckled.
"Of course." Yi Qingsong nodded.
Murong Chou curled his lips, "I don't think so. They have the existence of the old demon from the arcane realm!"
"So what!" Yi Qingsong sneered.
"Hehe!" Laughter suddenly rang out, causing the blood in the surrounding people to churn. It was as if thunder had exploded in their ears.
Chu Li was as calm as still water. He looked at the two elders who had appeared in front of him.
The two elders were tall and burly. Both of them wore green robes. Their faces were rosy and their hair was snow-white. Their youthful appearance was admirable. They smiled at Chu Li and the others and gave a fist salute, "We are the old demons of the Heaven Devouring Sect."
Yi Qingsong's expression was solemn. He felt a huge pressure, and so did Murong Chou.
Lu Qingxue frowned as she looked at the two elders. She took a step forward and blocked Qin Mengyun.
Yi Qingsong gave a fist salute, "Seniors, you are …?"
"Just an ordinary disciple of the Heaven Devouring Sect." The two elders in green robes smiled and looked at Yi Qingsong, "Those who came from the arcane realm are indeed nothing special. They are all pitiful people."
"Then what do you want?" Yi Qingsong asked in a low voice.
He knew that things were not going well. He was ready to escape at any time. The Heaven Devouring Sect and the Great Dream Sect would never join forces. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. They could only fight.
A tall elder said, "We are here to visit the Dancing Butterfly Sect. You are …?"
He did not recognize Yi Qingsong. He did not even know the identity of the people present. He vaguely felt that Lu Qingxue was the sect leader of the Dancing Butterfly Sect.
Yi Qingsong scoffed, "Then I shall take my leave!"
