Sage Master's Threat
After the two sides sat down, the Sage Master asked seriously, "What is your Azure Cloud Sect's plan?"
Azure Cloud Master replied earnestly, "Zhang Yang is indeed handling everything in the Azure Cloud Sect. He'll have to tell you about this matter."
The Sage Master was not surprised by this answer.
He looked up at Zhang Yang, as if asking for Zhang Yang's opinion.
Zhang Yang smiled and suddenly asked, "Sage Master, has something changed at the Langya Sacred Land?"
The Sage Master asked impatiently, "Don't you know what you've done?"
Now I understand. If our Langya Sacred Land hadn't come to you, I'm afraid your Azure Cloud Sect wouldn't have been able to break through this situation.
It all seems like we brought this on ourselves."
Zhang Yang shook his head and said seriously, "Sage Master, you are mistaken. Even if your Langya Sacred Land doesn't come, other sects will!"
As long as you still intend to deal with the Azure Cloud Sect, you will definitely fall into their trap.
The reason I opened the Azure Cloud Museum is like fishing with a straight hook—those who are willing will take the bait!
The Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation and the Demon Lord both hold immense appeal for other sects.
At this point, whoever enters Azure Cloud Town will fall into the trap!
Even without visiting the Azure Cloud Sect, Zhang Yang would find an excuse to invite people to the Azure Cloud Sect, and the subsequent events would follow the same pattern.
It's just that Kong Xiuping is too much of a gentleman, which makes him seem more cooperative.
The Sage Master shook his head helplessly and said, "The result should be as you predicted... After your interview, the other sects really thought we had allied with your Azure Cloud Sect, and as a result, we were isolated!"
He stated the result directly, because this situation couldn't be concealed for long; the Azure Cloud Sect would find out sooner or later.
Saying it now makes it seem more sincere.
Azure Cloud Master was speechless. The situation at Langya Sacred Land was already so dire, yet they had just put on that attitude, trying to extract benefits from the Azure Cloud Sect?
He was lucky he didn't agree!
However, the Langya Sacred Land is now almost at its wit's end, so forming an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect should solve most of the problems.
In other words, on the grand chessboard of the world, the Azure Cloud Sect has truly made a corner of the world come alive.
Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "Sage Master, I believe that the Langya Sacred Land is in a bad situation. However, you still have a strong foundation, so even if you are isolated, it won't have a significant impact on you."
Therefore, I still cannot understand your intention to form an alliance with us.
This shouldn't be the style that has been around for 2,300 years, so I'd like to hear your real reason."
The Sage Master glanced at Zhang Yang, then at Azure Cloud Master, and a huge chessboard was placed on the table.
Then, pieces of various colors were placed on the chessboard.
The various pieces and forces are intertwined, creating a complex and intricate situation.
With a solemn expression, the Sage Master pointed to the blue chess piece near the center of the chessboard and slowly said, "I have been studying this game for a long time."
Five hundred years ago, the reason I allowed the Langya Sacred Land to plot against the Azure Cloud Sect was that I truly did not foresee any chance of the Azure Cloud Sect turning the tables!
With a wave of his hand, an image appeared on the chessboard, showing a blue chess piece in imminent danger.
The Sage Master pointed to the situation and said, "If the Azure Cloud Sect deserves to be destroyed, then I will go with the flow and bring benefits to my Langya Sacred Land."
However, starting a few years ago, this seemingly hopeless situation of your Azure Cloud Sect has actually come back to life."
As he spoke, the Sage Master waved his hand, and another image appeared. In the image, countless chess pieces shrouded in black mist appeared next to the blue chess pieces, signifying the Demon Lord.
Once the group of chess pieces shrouded in black mist appeared, the entire blue chess piece formation became unstoppable.
However, there is a struggle between the black-shrouded chess pieces and the blue chess pieces.
The Sage Master slowly said, "After deduction, I have discovered that the other pieces in the world are almost all finalized!"
It's highly unlikely that any new changes will occur.
On the contrary, the blue pieces, with the help of the black pieces, became vibrant and showed a soaring momentum.
I've been thinking about this for the past few years.
Should we extinguish the life force of these blue pieces, or choose to use the blue pieces to revitalize the white pieces?
The white chess pieces represent the Langya Sacred Land.
"A year ago, my choice was to cut off the lifeline of the chess piece!" the Sage Master said coldly. "Because if the Azure Cloud Sect were allowed to develop further, the Langya Sacred Land would also be in great danger!"
However, I never expected that you would choose to join forces with the Devil Race!
Moreover, the Demon Race of the Ten Thousand Mountains seem to have a hidden intention to help you.
At that moment, I knew that your chances of survival could no longer be extinguished!
As the Sage Master spoke, the situation on the chessboard kept changing.
"Indeed, I can wait twenty years to see the state of the Azure Cloud Sect before making a decision!" the Sage Master continued. "However, twenty years from now will be the time when the final answer is revealed."
I can't predict what will happen next.
Therefore, now is the best time to make a decision so that we can get an answer in twenty years!
The changes in your Azure Cloud Sect in the last six months have been truly remarkable!
The Azure Cloud Gazette, the Azure Cloud Museum, military exercises, the changes in Azure Cloud Town, and so on.
Every change strengthens the vitality of your Azure Cloud Sect!
I know I can't wait any longer!
So, it just so happens that you were scheming against the Langya Sacred Land, giving them a reason to make contact with your Azure Cloud Sect Langya Sacred Land. "
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Besides, Sage Master, you've been playing the victim for months!"
Even if the Langya Sacred Land and the Azure Cloud Sect form an alliance, other sects won't be able to blame the Langya Sacred Land if they discover the misunderstanding!
They'll only blame themselves for so easily believing the Azure Cloud Gazette.
The Sage Master smiled slightly, "I'm simply going with the flow!"
This was his way of playing the victim after he had previously displayed Zhang Yang style of behavior, following Zhang Yang pattern.
He discovered that doing this was truly enjoyable!
By acting innocent, he gained a huge advantage and left others speechless. What a great thing!
"Boy, now that our Langya Sacred Land has shown its sincerity!" The Sage Master looked at Zhang Yang and said solemnly, "Now, it is up to your Azure Cloud Sect to make a choice."
If we're going to form an alliance, then let's discuss it properly.
If you choose not to form an alliance, then I will personally step forward and invite other major sects in the world to discuss and jointly destroy the Azure Cloud Sect!
I'm not an arrogant guy like Zhou Xuansheng. If I were to make a move, I wouldn't just send out a few Dao Integration Realm cultivators.
Once I make a move, I will unleash my full power. The Langya Sacred Land will demonstrate its sincerity to the world. I will personally lead the charge, with three other Tribulation Realm joining the attack.
With such sincerity, other sects might be able to gather the strength of more than twenty Tribulation Realm.
Under such circumstances, the Azure Cloud Sect is doomed!
As the story progressed, the Sage Master's expression turned cold, revealing the demeanor of a true tyrant, capable of deciding the fate of the world with a single word!
