Congratulations on getting this far!
Pan Xie approached Ye Qiubai and the other two with a wicked smile, saying this.
Ye Qiubai and the other two all looked at Pan Xie simultaneously.
For the Avici Purgatory.
None of the three had a good impression of each other.
Firstly, his methods were too ruthless and his nature too vicious; he was a thoroughly Evil Cultivator!
Secondly, they had harbored murderous intentions towards them, thus making them enemies.
"What, so impatient? You can't even wait here before showing your fangs?"
Pan Xie waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to cause trouble this time."
Are you not here to cause trouble?
Mu Fusheng took a step back, put one hand behind his back, and held a killing talisman between two fingers.
This position not only conceals one's purpose but also ensures that the opponent remains within the attack range of this talisman.
Having suffered a loss at Mu Fusheng's hands before, Pan Xie frowned upon seeing this and said, " Mu Fusheng, I'm not here to fight you. Put away that talisman behind you."
to be honest.
Among Mu Fusheng, Ye Qiubai, and Xiao Hei.
Pan Xie's greatest fear was not Ye Qiubai, who could unleash the Immortal Sword Intent, nor Xiao Hei, who possessed a formidable bloodline.
It was Mu Fusheng seemed to have countless backup plans!
Mu Fusheng smiled, put his hand back in front of him, and put away the talisman in front of Pan Xie.
However, another talisman had already been floating behind Mu Fusheng...
A thin thread of divine soul, imperceptible to others, is attached to the talisman. It can be detonated at any moment with just a thought!
Pan Xie then laughed and said, "That's more like it. It's not time for a major conflict yet; we should conserve our strength to deal with future crises."
Mu Fusheng feigned compliance, saying, "That's right, that's right, you're correct."
Ye Qiubai and Xiao Hei, standing to the side, were both speechless.
Never again should you believe a single word of Mu Fusheng's nonsense!
"Therefore, I've come to discuss something with you."
"What is it?" Ye Qiubai asked.
"Let's form an alliance."
Alliance?
To be honest, this result was unexpected for Ye Qiubai and the other two.
This is a path we never even imagined!
Pan Xie spread his hands and said with a wicked smile, "Your strength, based on your performance in so many battles, cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Therefore, as long as we join forces, no force in this Severed Soul City will be our match!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai asked with a half-smile, "Oh? What benefits would we get from forming an alliance with you?"
"The benefits will be plentiful," Pan Xie said with a smile. "Our goal is only one thing. Once we obtain one of the things we desire, the rest—the inheritances or heavenly materials and earthly treasures —will be yours."
"We, the Avici Purgatory, will absolutely not compete for it."
"Don't distrust us, the Avici Purgatory, even though we are Evil Cultivator."
"But precisely because they are Evil Cultivator, the distribution of spoils is simpler and fairer—everything is allocated according to strength!"
At this point, Pan Xie sneered as he looked at the powerful cultivators behind him, "Unlike those self-proclaimed righteous sects, who appear respectable and speak righteously, but whose actions are utterly despicable."
That statement is indeed correct.
Some reputable and orthodox Daoist practitioners are indeed like this.
Mu Fusheng smiled and said, "That sounds quite tempting."
So what are your choices?
Mu Fusheng and Xiao Hei both looked at Ye Qiubai.
After all, Ye Qiubai is the senior disciple.
When traveling, if Master is not present, it is natural to consult Ye Qiubai, the eldest disciple, about important matters.
Ye Qiubai smiled, and without any hesitation, said decisively, "I think you're all quite ugly too."
The benefits promised by Pan Xie were tempting.
However, their behavior and actions have already proven that they are not trustworthy partners.
"Are you sure?" Pan Xie's wicked smile gradually faded.
"If you don't agree to the alliance, I'm afraid... you won't be able to leave Severed Soul City alive..."
Ye Qiubai's smile deepened.
"I'm relieved to hear that."
What do you mean?
Ye Qiubai touched the Primordial Immortal Sword at his waist, his eyes narrowing slightly. "That way, when we, his fellow disciples, kill you, we won't feel any burden."
"Quite the boast?"
"You won the previous Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition?"
"Let bygones be bygones; things are different in Severed Soul City now."
Xiao Hei stepped forward and said calmly, "Even in Severed Soul City, you couldn't defeat me."
Pan Xie's face turned ugly.
He pointed at Ye Qiubai and the other two, and said, "The depth and methods of the Avici Purgatory are beyond your imagination. We'll see who's the real deal then."
"I hope you won't regret your decision later."
After saying that, he led Jiang Chen and the other two away from the place.
During the journey, Jiang Chen asked, "Senior Brother Pan, why do we seek an alliance with them? Once we reach the center of Severed Soul City, and with the addition of the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall, how could they possibly be a match for us?"
"Besides, won't we still have to kill them and extract their souls then?"
Pan Xie smiled grimly, "Their strength could indeed be a variable, so I'm thinking of recruiting them first and dealing with them later."
"But these three are ungrateful; let's deal with them all at once."
After the four people left the Avici Purgatory.
Lin Zhinan, Gu Xi, and Su Muyou from the Spirit Immortal Palace all came over.
Chi Bing and the three Yuan Han from Immortal Ape Village also came over.
Lin Zhinan asked, "What, are those guys from the Avici Purgatory trying to cause you trouble?"
Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded, "They said they wanted to form an alliance with us, but I declined."
Alliance?
This surprised them all slightly.
Su Muyou nodded coldly and said, "Refusing was the right decision. Now, we have begun to secretly form an alliance and gather manpower. As long as we find the heart of the sect in the Avici Purgatory, we will make our move after the events in Severed Soul City!"
After the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition.
Major sects and hidden forces began to secretly make connections.
After all, the Avici Purgatory has grown again.
Once it erupts, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Mid-Latitude Realm!
It must rise from the ground before it is fully mature!
Ye Qiubai looked at Chi Bing and asked, "Isn't Chu Lan with you?"
Chi Bing shook his head and asked in return, "Where is Senior Brother Zhuang?"
After Ye Qiubai recounted what had happened,
Chi Bing simply nodded silently.
His expression was slightly gloomy.
Ye Qiubai sighed softly; Chu Lan was probably in grave danger as well...
"But the number of people should be arriving soon, right?"
Another half day passed.
Three people walked towards us from a distance.
As the three approached, the barrier began to shake!
Of the three.
One of them was Yuezheng Chi!
Of the remaining two, Chu Lan was nowhere to be seen.
P. S.: I'm not being stubborn, this strain is really no good.
