The next day, at noon.
In an inconspicuous country in the southwest of the Eight Ancient Continents. This country was surrounded by mountains and was relatively isolated. Plus, it didn't have any special resources, so even though it was a medium-sized country, it wasn't affected by the chaos of the world. However, since the world was in chaos, there were indeed many refugees who came here, making the country more populated.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous tavern in the Royal City, two people were sitting in the lobby, drinking and chatting. The table was full of side dishes, and they drank a lot of wine. However, the two people seemed to be very good at drinking and didn't look drunk at all.
At a glance, other than the fact that the two of them were wearing top-notch clothes, there was no difference between them and ordinary rich people. The tavern was filled with people, and the hall was completely filled. However, no one would have thought that there would be two Level Nine Heavenly Masters under the same roof!
Yes, the two people drinking and chatting were none other than Wang Hong and Gao Ting!
Under the pressure, Wang Hong finally sent someone to the Nine Swords Sect yesterday to invite Gao Ting to a banquet at noon. However, the two people didn't talk in the sect, but in the country where they were born and casually found a tavern to talk.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, how did you end up like this?" Just like an ordinary person, Gao Ting said while eating, "Since you've come to this point, the rules of your All Lights Sect are really annoying. You'd better change them quickly!"
"Don't make sarcastic remarks here!" Wang Hong took a sip of wine and said with a sad face, "The rules of the All Lights Sect have long been in place. This is the foundation of the All Lights Sect. How can I change it? If I change it, at least half of the men in the All Lights Sect will leave. Do you believe it? "
"Well, I think you don't want to change it," Gao Ting said.
"Let's not talk about this!" Wang Hong took a deep breath, looked at Gao Ting and said, "Help me get through this difficult time, okay?"
Gao Ting looked at Wang Hong and sighed helplessly. He shrugged and said, "Okay, but you have to take out something that can satisfy the Nine Swords Sect."
Gao Ting put down his chopsticks, looked at Wang Hong and said seriously, "Although I'm the Sect Leader, the Nine Swords Sect isn't completely mine. To be honest, the Thousand Light Sect's reputation was so bad that they were almost the target of public criticism. No one was willing to get involved in this. Our friendship is one thing, but the Nine Swords Sect is another. If you want my people to help you, you have to at least offer a reasonable reward. "
Hearing Gao Ting's words, not only was Wang Hong not angry, he instead heaved a huge sigh of relief. He was also a Sect Leader, so he understood these principles and rules. He wasn't afraid of Gao Ting asking for anything, but he was afraid that Gao Ting wouldn't be willing to help him!
"Alright!" Wang Hong nodded immediately and said, "As long as the Nine Swords Sect can help the Myriad Lights Sect survive this tribulation, I am willing to give you all the sword manuals collected by the Myriad Lights Sect as well as a generous gift! Now that the world is in chaos, the Myriad Light Sect will fulfill any request of the Nine Swords Sect. For the next two hundred years, half of the Myriad Light Sect's income will be given to the Nine Swords Sect! "
Hearing Wang Hong's words, Gao Ting was also a little stunned. He didn't expect Wang Hong to offer so many benefits, and it was indeed very tempting. It seemed that Wang Hong was really anxious now, which was why he had thought of this matter clearly in advance.
"Alright!" Gao Ting nodded and said, "After the meal, I will go back and gather them for a meeting. With me in charge and such good conditions, they will most likely agree. Even if they don't agree, I will make them agree. Brother Wang, just wait for my news! "
Hearing this, Wang Hong immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Gao!"
"There is no need for this between you and me." Gao Ting waved his hand, thought for a moment and said, "However, it's best that we don't fight with the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect and the Misty Rain Sect. If we can negotiate, we should try to make peace."
"Don't worry, of course I know. I will try my best to make peace." Wang Hong frowned and said, "Actually, the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect is easy to deal with. After all, they owe me a favor now. The main problem is the Misty Rain Sect. They have been biting their lips and dragging the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect into a corner! "
"Yan Xi …" A figure appeared in Gao Ting's sea of consciousness. The hand holding the chopsticks gradually tightened as he said in a deep voice, "This hot woman has never married in her life. If we really go to war, I must capture her and let her enjoy the happiness of being a woman!"

On the second day of Wang Hong's meeting with Gao Ting, the Nine Swords Sect publicly announced that they had officially joined forces with the Thousand Light Sect to fight against the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect and the Misty Rain Sect.
Once this news spread out, it immediately shocked all the people from the sects!
This included the Sect Leaders and Elders of the major sects. Everyone thought that these two sects were like fire and water, irreconcilable. They had thought of all kinds of possibilities that the Thousand Light Sect would ask for help, but they really didn't think of the Nine Swords Sect at all!
In their opinion, it was good enough that the Nine Swords Sect didn't take the opportunity to stab the Thousand Light Sect. They didn't expect the Nine Swords Sect to help the Thousand Light Sect tide over this crisis!
In fact, before the world was in chaos, most of the sects had their own alliances. The Thousand Light Sect also had one, forming an alliance with three other sects. However, this alliance was formed only to fight for the world's territory, not to deal with personal grudges. Therefore, after the incident with the Thousand Light Sect, the other three sects in the alliance chose to remain silent and didn't interfere at all.
It was the same for the alliance between the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect and the Misty Rain Sect. The two sects came from different alliances, but they only joined forces to deal with personal grudges. Once the matter was settled, the two sects would return to their respective alliances.
The news spread quickly, and the Fire Mountain Sect also sent people to deliver it directly to the Ice Fire Alliance. Liu Yi wasn't surprised when she heard the news. After all, Xu Ying had already mentioned it yesterday.
However, what even Xu Ying didn't know was the grudge between the Nine Swords Sect's Sect Leader Gao Ting and the Misty Rain Sect's Sect Leader Yan Xi.
This matter started from when Gao Ting entered the Nine Swords Sect. Not long after Gao Ting entered the Nine Swords Sect, he was sent out by the sect to carry out a treasure hunting mission. Because the news of this treasure was obtained by many sects at the same time, six sects joined forces and sent people together. The Misty Rain Sect happened to be among the six sects, and the people sent out included the current Sect Leader, Yan Xi.
At that time, Yan Xi's strength was only an Eighth Level Heavenly Master. However, compared to Gao Ting's early Eighth Level, he was already at the late Eighth Level. During his days in the Nine Swords Sect, Gao Ting had long heard of the Misty Rain Sect's great name. He also knew that the Misty Rain Sect had always favored women over men, and the women were very proud.
Gao Ting was very lecherous, but he was different from Wang Hong. Gao Ting didn't like to compromise, nor did he like to pursue quantity. Instead, he liked to tame proud women. At first glance, he had taken a fancy to the most beautiful woman in the group, Yan Xi. Yan Xi's eyes were the coldest and most arrogant. After knowing that Yan Xi was actually the daughter of the Misty Rain Sect's Sect Leader, he was even more determined to pursue her.
Yan Xi's strength was high, and her status was high. Gao Ting naturally couldn't force himself on her. However, Gao Ting was very patient. He started to show goodwill to Yan Xi. During the mission, he tried to appear in front of Yan Xi as much as possible, and let himself be around her. In his opinion, proud women weren't necessarily invulnerable, and they were often very easy to break through. However, he was very wrong.
On the last day of the mission, Gao Ting thought that he would definitely confess to Yan Xi. However, he didn't expect to be rejected in public by Yan Xi, and even humiliated in public!
"If you look in the mirror and see how stupid you are, you won't have the face to say these words to me."
"With your strength, you want to marry me?"
These two sentences hurt Gao Ting the most. It was also spread and mocked by the other sects when they returned. Many years later, more than ten sects held a competition together. The Nine Swords Sect and the Misty Rain Sect were among them. This competition was considered a friendly exchange, and also to encourage the people in their sects to work harder in their cultivation. At that time, many elders participated, and Gao Ting and Yan Xi just happened to sign up.
At that time, Gao Ting's strength was already at the late stage of the eighth level, while Yan Xi's strength was at the peak of the eighth level.
Coincidentally, as opponents, Gao Ting and Yan Xi met in the first round. That incident had happened a long time ago, but Gao Ting still remembered it clearly in his heart. Yan Xi still looked at Gao Ting with a condescending gaze, and even looked at him with contempt.
Seeing this, Gao Ting became even angrier and began to attack Yan Xi fiercely.
However, the final result was obvious. Gao Ting still lost, and lost very quickly. It was a very embarrassing loss!
