After the women left, the eunuch looked around before respectfully walking to Zhao Tiehu's side. "Your Majesty, the Blood Tiger Guards have found out that Qing Xuan of the Keelung Sect has invited the leaders of the Golden Arrow Sect, Metal Sword Sect, Black Water Alliance, Mu Clan, Lian Clan, and other factions to discuss how to deal with the Divine Lotus Path."
"Oh?"
Zhao Tiehu's eyebrows twitched as a cold light flashed through his eyes.
The reason why he was able to be taken over by King Xu was because King Xu had obtained the full support of the Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect in the few months that he was gone.
The Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect needed an obedient puppet, and Zhao Tiehu was unwilling to be under others. He often wanted to kick the Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect away. Unfortunately, before he could make a move, the Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect had already made their move.
Because of this, Zhao Tiehu was filled with hatred for the Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect. Of course, he also hated his good brother, King Xu Song Shiren!
Although he was taken over by King Xu, Zhao Tiehu had been in operation for many years, so it wasn't as if he didn't have people at his disposal.
At the very least, the strongest martial force of the Dali Dynasty, the Blood Tiger Guards, was still under his control.
Every one of the one hundred and eighty Blood Tiger Guards had sworn loyalty to him. Although there weren't many of them, they were a powerful force. It was also the existence of the Blood Tiger Guards that made King Xu apprehensive and didn't eliminate him.
The eunuch in front of him was the commander of the Blood Tiger Guards, Wang Chong in disguise. He was a Heavenly Transformation Realm consummation expert.
Zhao Tiehu frowned and pondered for a while. Gradually, his lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Hmph, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect are delusional to think that they can kick this Zhao away. That's simply wishful thinking! "
Zhao Tiehu coldly snorted.
Wang Chong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, you mean to say that you plan to cooperate with Lin Xuan?"
Zhao Tiehu coldly smiled. "Why not? Now that the Divine Lotus Path was so powerful, it already controlled half of the Dali Dynasty. Lin Xuan had also become the Sword Master of the Human Sovereign, he had a righteous title. It could be said that the rise of the Divine Lotus Path was unstoppable!
The Golden Arrow Sect and the Metal Sword Sect actually wanted to trip up the Saint Lotus Path. This was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They were seeking their own deaths.
Wang Chong, don't worry. Lin Xuan's ambitions are great. He'll tolerate us! "
Wang Chong got down on one knee and respectfully said, "This subordinate swears to follow Your Majesty to the death!"
"Alright, get up and follow me!"
Zhao Tiehu turned around and walked into the depths of the palace. There was a secret room with powerful restrictions.
Wang Chong hurriedly followed behind.
This room was very secretive. Normally, no one was allowed to approach it. No one knew what was inside. Other than Zhao Tiehu, no one had ever entered.
And today, Wang Chong was fortunate enough to enter the room with Zhao Tiehu.
In the middle of the room, there was a small altar array. It was surrounded by layers of primeval stones, and the primeval energy was so dense that it was suffocating.
What surprised Wang Chong was that most of these primeval stones were high-tier primeval stones. There were even eighteen top-tier primeval stones among them.
Just the value of these primeval stones was enough to buy half of Dali's national treasury.
Ignoring Wang Chong's shock, Zhao Tiehu took out a three-meter-tall bronze statue from his storage ring and placed it at the center of the altar.
Weng!
The formation activated, and the bronze statue began to emanate a faint glow.
Following which, the eyes and ears of the bronze statue began to come alive, and a dazzling golden light slowly emanated from them.
Zhao Tiehu sat cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes.
At this moment, his soul was connected to the bronze statue, and with the energy provided by the formation, he was able to activate the abilities of the bronze statue.
This bronze statue was Zhao Tiehu's greatest trump card. It was a mysterious and powerful artifact, and its grade was unknown.
Due to the limitations of his cultivation, Zhao Tiehu was unable to fully utilize its abilities. After many years of research, he could only use the formation to unlock two of the bronze statue's abilities — Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing.
At this moment, with the help of the bronze statue's abilities, Zhao Tiehu could see everything that was going on in the underground palace of Radiant Pavilion. He could also clearly hear the voices of several people talking …
Long Ju looked at the mysterious man covered in daoist armor and said to Venerable Qing Xuan, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, since we are going to form an alliance, we should be honest with each other. Since this friend is here, yet he is hiding his identity. Doesn't he seem to lack sincerity?"
"Indeed! He doesn't even dare to reveal his identity. How can we not worry? "
"At the very least, this old man should know if this person is qualified to form an alliance with us."
The others were also slightly dissatisfied, and they hoped that the mysterious man would reveal the truth.
Venerable Qing Xuan hesitated for a moment before looking helplessly at the mysterious man. "Everyone here is Lin Xuan's enemy. Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured."
However, the mysterious armored man stood up and sneered. With a hoarse and unpleasant voice, he said, "It's not that I'm being overly cautious, but that I have no choice but to be cautious!
All of you are Lin Xuan's enemies on the surface. Even if today's matter is exposed, it doesn't matter.
However, I'm different. Once my identity is exposed, I'm afraid I'll be the first to suffer.
Since all of you can't tolerate me, then I'll take my leave first! "
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Qing Xuan quickly stood up and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
The mysterious man paused for a moment and said indifferently, "Is there anything else?"
Qing Xuan said, "If fellow Daoist wants to leave, this old man will not force you to stay. However, fellow Daoist's goal is the same as ours. In the future, we will have to trouble fellow Daoist …"
"No problem! When all of you have finished discussing the strategy and need me to take action, then inform me! "
After the mysterious man finished speaking, the space trembled slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
"Space Dao?"
Everyone behind could not help but narrow their eyes, and their faces became solemn.
The Realm of True Force did not have the Space Dao inheritance, nor did it have the environmental conditions to cultivate the Space Dao.
Just from this point alone, it could be inferred that this person was most likely from the outer space.
Long Ju asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, what is this person's identity?"
Qing Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Long Ju, there's no need to ask. This old man has already promised fellow Daoist Teng that without his consent, I will not reveal his identity. Fellow Daoist Long Ju, please don't make things difficult for this old man."
Long Ju nodded indifferently, "Alright, then let's continue! The last time I brought people to attack the Saint Lotus Path's lair, although it dealt a heavy blow to the Saint Lotus Path, it was far from a serious injury.
The Saint Lotus Path has a lot of experts, and there's even a sixth rank wild beast guarding it. It's really a tough nut to crack.
This old man feels that a forceful attack is not advisable. If we want to deal with the Saint Lotus Path, we need to put in some effort. "
Mu Zhanfeng said, "That's right! Even if we can win by forcefully attacking the Saint Lotus Path, it will definitely be a fragmentary victory. It's not feasible! "
At this moment, Venerable Qing Xuan glanced at Mu Zhanfeng, his eyes flashed, and said, "This old man has an idea."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, let's hear it. "Mu Zhanfeng asked.
Qing Xuan said, "This idea is actually very simple, but if it's executed well, the effect should not be bad.
Soon, Mu Qingxue should be returning to the Mu Clan to take over the position of the Clan Head. At that time, the Mu Clan can use this opportunity to create chaos and capture Mu Qingxue. Then, with Mu Qingxue as a hostage, we can force Lin Xuan to come out and negotiate.
As the saying goes, to catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. At that time, we can set a trap, and with the combined strength of our six clans, we can capture Lin Xuan with a thunderous force.
After that, things will be easy. With Lin Xuan in our hands, the Saint Lotus Path will be at our mercy. "
Hearing this, everyone started to think about the feasibility of this plan.
Golden Arrow Sect's Zuo Mingyue hesitated for a moment, and said, "Directly dealing with Lin Xuan is indeed a good idea. However, Lin Xuan is already the owner of the Human Sovereign Sword, and has a divine weapon in his hands … "
Long Ju smiled disdainfully, and said, "Brother Zuo, you worry too much. The Human Sovereign Sword is indeed a divine weapon, but according to what I know, under the Divine Transformation Realm, there is no way to control the divine sword. Lin Xuan himself is actually nothing to be afraid of!
What we need to be most vigilant of is actually that Level Six wild beast called Yellow. "
"If that's really the case, Daoist Qing Xuan's idea is feasible!" Zuo Mingyue nodded.
Lian Renjie and Yang Huang also nodded, expressing their agreement.
Only Mu Zhanfeng had some hesitation on his face.
Qing Xuan asked, "What's wrong? Does Daoist Mu have some difficulties? "
Mu Zhanfeng frowned, and said, "With my Mu Clan as the battlefield, if we fail, I'm afraid my Mu Clan will be the first to bear the wrath of the Saint Lotus Path. In the future, we will no longer have a foothold in Qiannan, and even face the danger of being exterminated.
If we succeed, the retaliation of the remnants of the Saint Lotus Path will be enough to make my Mu Clan suffer heavy losses.
I have no intention of shirking, but since my Mu Clan is taking the biggest risk, shouldn't we also receive benefits that match the risk? "
Supremacy Qing Xuan nodded, and said, "Daoist Mu is right. In this plan, the Mu Clan does indeed have to bear the biggest risk.
I suggest that when we distribute the spoils, the Mu Clan can take an extra share, and the rest will be divided according to the amount of effort each clan put in. What do you all think? "
"Alright, then let's do that!"
"I also agree."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
However, although their words were pleasant to hear, in reality, no one took it seriously.
After all, this world was all about strength. If the Mu Clan suffered heavy losses and their strength was greatly reduced, not to mention taking an extra share, they would be lucky if they were not swallowed up.
At this time, Zuo Mingyue suddenly said, "Fellow Daoists, Lin Xuan is the owner of the Human Sovereign Sword after all. After we capture him, how should we deal with him?"
Qing Xuan said, "Daoist Zuo, you don't have to worry about this. After we capture Lin Xuan, there will naturally be someone to deal with him."
"Oh? Who? "
Everyone could not help but be stunned.
Qing Xuan smiled mysteriously, and said, "The one who has the right to deal with the owner of the Human Sovereign Sword is naturally the people in that mountain."
"Hmm?"
Everyone's pupils shrank, and there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in their eyes when they looked at Qing Xuan.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that behind Qing Xuan, there was actually the Ji Clan!
However, even when facing the Ji Clan, everyone was no longer as fearful as before.
First, the Ji Clan was betrayed by the slave sect, and then they lost the Human Sovereign Sword. This colossus was showing signs of decline, and their days in the future would only become more and more difficult.
Under such circumstances, most of the major forces tacitly adopted an attitude of neither getting close to nor offending the Ji Clan.
Next, everyone began to discuss some detailed regulations, such as how many people each clan would send, how many heavenly weapons to send, who would be in charge of restraining, who would be in charge of blocking the reinforcements from the Saint Lotus Path, who would be in charge of the main attack, and how to distribute the spoils after the battle, and so on.
Especially when it came to the distribution of the spoils after the battle, the few powerhouses were simply haggling over every detail, like street vendors, arguing until their faces turned red.
After spending half a day, the six clans reluctantly came to an agreement.
At this moment, Lin Xuan, who was far away in Shuo Province, did not know that his treasures and the territory under his command had been divided up by six ambitious jackals.
