"Speak!" Guan Zirong urged.
Bai Chaogen quickly said, "I joined forces with three sects to enter not for personal gain, but to make management easier and unite everyone's hearts.
"If a dozen or more sects entered, each harboring its own schemes, we would accomplish nothing instead!
"Please don't misconstrue my original intentions, Brother Guan!
"Now that our Xiaoyao Peak has allied with Myriad Beasts Valley and the Long River Sect, we are as solid as an iron plate.
"Judging by your hastily cobbled-together teams, your chances of winning are less than twenty percent.
"Acting rashly would only cause needless casualties and damage the harmony between our sects.
"But people's words are fearsome. I was considering how the Human Clan could better conquer the ruins of another race, yet I've been mistaken for a selfish man. It truly chills my heart.
"Since Brother Guan believes entering together is what constitutes unity, how about this?
"Our three sects will each give up ten places for Brother Guan to distribute.
"But I have one condition!"
At this point, Bai Chaogen pointed at Tang Yan and said, "This man is suspected of being a rotten apple. He cannot enter!"
"Young Master Yan is our ally. Don't use public affairs to settle a personal grudge!" Guan Zirong immediately refused.
Bai Chaogen sneered. "I don't think someone who fans the flames like this is a good person.
"Will you remove one rotten apple in exchange for thirty places?
"Or make enemies of our three great factions for the sake of one rotten apple?
"Consider it yourself, Brother Guan!"
Guan Zirong secretly regretted stopping earlier. With this maneuvering, Bai Chaogen had bound the three sects together in one stroke.
If his side attacked now, Myriad Beasts Valley and the Long River Sect would certainly not stand idly
