The white-haired elder has died.
The red-bearded elder swallowed hard, completely stunned.
Shi Yan glared at Long Cangxue: "To kill my elder in front of me, you are too Dao of Hegemony!"
"Is it possible... that you're too weak? If you were strong, how could you not protect your elders?"
Gu Yu blinked, rubbing salt into his wound.
Shi Yan's face turned ashen.
Long Cangxue said, "If you were my friend, I could be just as Dao of Hegemony for you. The problem is, you aren't, and you don't deserve it!"
Shi Yan's face darkened, and he was speechless.
Long Cangxue ignored him and turned her head directly, saying, " Xie Feng, I'll be leaving if there's nothing else. You should be able to handle this kind of annoying little thing yourself."
Xie Feng asked, "Before I leave, I have a question for you... How is Master doing?"
Long Cangxue nodded. "Very good. No one has more energy and spirit than him, whether it's going to heaven or the earth! I have other things to do, I'm leaving."
After saying that, she left without looking back, and her ethereal figure quickly disappeared into the vast world.
Shi Yan was initially stunned.
He had never seen anything like this before, where the strongest member of the opposing team withdrew halfway through a fight.
Now I've really seen something new!
He quickly realized what was going on and laughed, "Your biggest ally is gone. Now it's our turn to fight!"
Xie Feng shook his head. "No, I don't want to compete with you."
"Is bringing this up now a sign of insecurity? Don't you think... it's too late for you to say this?"
Shi Yan looked at him with an enigmatic smile on his face, but Xie Feng could easily interpret it as nothing more than smug arrogance!
He wanted to fight, but Xie Feng refused to fight him instead.
"Perhaps our relationship can be changed. The Jade Pivot Sect and the Demon-Burying Clan shouldn't be so tense!"
How to change it?
How about shifting from a state of hostility to one of cooperation?
Why cooperate? How to cooperate?
Shi Yan's voice wasn't loud, but he questioned everything he said, being aggressive and confrontational.
"I know you're War Faction, and your greatest wish in life is to destroy Peak of Heaven. On this point, we're completely aligned! Many years ago, Peak of Heaven killed one of my relatives, and ever since then, I've harbored a deep hatred for this force. When I learned that the War Faction of the Demon-Burying Clan Emperor Phoenix Clan were fighting fiercely on the Eternity Battlefield, I always silently supported the Demon-Burying Clan Demon-Burying Clan, hoping they would win..."
Xie Feng frowned, speaking with genuine emotion.
He even believed his own words.
Turning his head, he saw Feng Luo, whose lips were twitching wildly. The latter had listened to the whole thing and remained silent.
Oops...
I've forgotten about the Imperial Prince of Peak of Heaven...
Xie Feng blinked, then suggested earnestly, "Why don't you plug your ears first?"
Feng Luo: "..."
Shi Yan's gaze shifted, and he said coldly, "The Imperial Prince of Peak of Heaven overheard our conversation. To prevent future troubles, he should be killed immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Luo looked up in alarm and quickly said, "Big brother, I don't get involved in politics, don't drag me into this! If you're worried, I'll just stay away."
With that, he quickly slipped away.
She's so mature and understanding it breaks my heart.
Shi Yan said, "The cooperation you mentioned is somewhat interesting to me, but it's still not enough, far from enough! I know what you're thinking; you just don't want another enemy, you want another friend to deal with the Demon-Burying Clan that you hate. Coincidentally, that's what I feel too, so I'm willing to listen to you continue!"
Xie Feng said, "You should know that cooperating with me is entirely beneficial."
"Young Master Xie, could you elaborate?"
"Our cooperation has certain foundations. First, we both deeply resent Peak of Heaven and harbor an indelible hatred for it. Second, we are both very powerful, possessing strength sufficient to confront Peak of Heaven. Third, let's talk about the power of our cooperation; it will definitely be greater than the sum of its parts. If you cooperate with me, you must know the identity of that Feng Luo you just met—the Fifth Prince of Peak of Heaven, right? I will turn him to our side and make him work for us, providing the intelligence we need!"
Xie Feng patiently guided him.
Shi Yan's expression wavered slightly.
Xie Feng directly offered a final guarantee. "Furthermore, I am not alone. I not only have powerful individuals capable of confronting Feng Yan head-on, but also an army of 100,000!"
"An army of 100,000?!"
If Xie Feng's previous words only made Shi Yan waver somewhat, the appearance of this army made him even more determined to cooperate!
Finally, Xie Feng decided to give him a push, to completely side with him.
He released the soul of King's Disciple Cang Jian, whom he had previously detained!
Give it back to Shi Yan!
A speck of dust, catalyzed by energy, can form Dao Spirit.
When Cang Jian woke up and saw Shi Yan, he lowered his head in remorse.
He blamed himself for his lack of ability!
For Shi Yan, Cang Jian was like his left and right arms, and this was also the final straw that broke Shi Yan's back.
He finally agreed!
"Young Master Xie, your sincerity is great, and I believe in your determination. I hope that in the future we can get to know each other better, strengthen our cooperative relationship, work together wholeheartedly to deal with Peak of Heaven, and make the destruction of Peak of Heaven our goal!"
Shi Yan said.
Since we're cooperating, we can only let bygones be bygones regarding Xie Feng killing several of his War Faction.
Xie Feng nodded, then added, "After destroying Peak of Heaven, I don't want any resources. My goal is to kill Feng Yan!"
Shi Yan was overjoyed. Someone actually didn't want the resources, and from Peak of Heaven no less! How naive!
Xie Feng was also laughing. How else could he keep you around if he didn't offer such grand promises?
He only said "he" didn't want it, and he really didn't want it!
As for the others, like the eldest brother, whether he wants them or not is another matter entirely...
After discussing cooperation, the two will face very real problems.
How do I fight Peak of Heaven? What weapons do I use? Where do I fight? Where do I start? What specific tactics should I employ?
Xie Feng asked, "What are the clan leader's thoughts?"
Shi Yan said, "Currently, my War Faction and the Emperor Phoenix Clan of Peak of Heaven have been fighting on the Eternity Battlefield for over a decade, with both sides experiencing victories and defeats. However, recently, the Emperor Phoenix Clan's commander-in-chief has been replaced by a red-robed female general named Feng Wen. This person's fighting style is fierce and ruthless, causing considerable damage to my Demon-Burying Clan and becoming the biggest obstacle to preventing the main force from fully invading the Fifth Universe! Therefore, eliminating Feng Wen is currently my top priority and the most urgent plan!"
"External warfare alone is far from enough," Xie Feng proposed. "We must launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside! Externally, concentrate our forces and strongest warriors to specifically target the commander of Peak of Heaven. Internally, spread various false rumors to sow discord among the people of Peak of Heaven, inciting public anger and discontent. Finally, cut off Peak of Heaven's energy supply, steer all difficulties towards war, and make people dissatisfied with Feng Yan!"
Upon hearing Shi Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
To be honest, he couldn't even imagine what would happen if they did that to the Demon Demon-Burying Clan!
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! A three-pronged approach will surely yield results quickly!"
Shi Yan praised.
