"Exactly!"
The Third Elder continued, "Our Immortal Alliance has two Immortal Emperors holding down the fort. Even if Long Aotian breaks through to the mid-tier of the Immortal Emperor realm, he won't pose a threat to us anytime soon. Besides, the next generation of our Immortal Alliance is growing rapidly. We have Lin San, ranked third on the Talent Ranking, and Qin Hao, ranked first."
"When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!"
Su Wan asked, neither servile nor overbearing, "I won't deny the Immortal Alliance's strength and potential, but do you think that after Long Aotian destroys our Lingxiao Palace, he'll give the Heavenly Prides of your alliance time to grow!?"
"You're right!"
The Seventh Elder's beautiful eyes suddenly turned sharp. "The teeth will indeed feel the cold when the lips are gone, but it's also possible for an ally to stab you in the back!"
"That makes sense!"
Hearing this, the other elders all nodded in agreement.
Although Lingxiao Palace had taken the initiative to seek an alliance, which would benefit them, they had witnessed the wall-snatching incident back then. No one could guarantee that Lingxiao Immortal Emperor wouldn't stab them in the back.
"Is there no hope?!"
The envoys sighed inwardly, remembering Miss Dongfang's words.
If the Immortal Alliance truly wanted an alliance, they would surely have found an excuse to propose one themselves. But now they were constantly nitpicking. It was obvious they didn't want to ally with them.
"You may have misunderstood!"
As the leader of the delegation, Su Wan still wanted to make one last effort. She hurriedly said, "Actually, our Emperor has never hated Emperor Mengyao. Deep down, he hopes she's doing well, so he would never stab her in the back."
"You've got some nerve saying that!"
The Seventh Elder
