Flower Spirit Sect: "A Marriage Alliance! Find That Hidden Origin Peak Master, What's-His-Name Chang!"
Flower Spirit Sect
"Sect Master, the Azure Cloud Sect has already cooperated with the Holy Land. Should we extend an invitation to the Azure Cloud Sect?"
"No."
The sect leader of the Flower Spirit Sect spoke up decisively:
"Those old fogies from the Azure Cloud Sect, now that they've gained power, they're probably getting too big for their britches. With the Holy Land backing them up, who knows how much ambition they'll have in the future."
Several elders nodded in agreement.
They might not know about other things, but they understood much more about the people from the Azure Cloud Sect.
Previously, the two sides were of similar overall strength, which allowed for relatively harmonious exchanges.
At present, having first annexed what the Mystic One Sect left behind and then allied themselves with the Holy Land, they can be said to have gained power overnight.
If the Flower Spirit Sect cannot find the power to resist, they will likely continue to be dominated by the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Then what should we do now?" an elder asked the sect leader.
The sect leader remained silent, his expression slightly somber.
The matter of Qin Jiuxiao was like a fishbone stuck in my throat.
Furthermore, the Azure Cloud Sect has already succeeded, and now they want to win over the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
Both the difficulty and the willingness.
Not advisable.
However, the Flower Spirit Sect's position is awkward.
It borders the Azure Cloud Sect in the front, is separated from the Aid the Azure Gate and the Western Region by towering mountains in the back, and is also separated from the Southern Region by the Vast Heaven Sect on the other side.
In other words, it's not easy to reach out and cultivate relationships with either side.
However, given the current situation, without external support, the Azure Cloud Sect will inevitably take action.
The expressions of the elders were also quite somber.
At this moment, the sect leader's expression suddenly shifted, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"Five Symbols Sect."
"Five Symbols Sect?"
One of the elders was puzzled:
"So weak, what use are they?"
"It's because they're weak."
The sect leader spoke up:
"The Five Symbols Sect also borders the Azure Cloud Sect. Now that the Azure Cloud Sect has become stronger, it's impossible that they don't have their own ideas."
"But the Five Symbols Sect is no match for the Azure Cloud Sect."
Another elder spoke up:
"Now that a holy land has intervened, it shouldn't be too difficult for the Azure Cloud Sect to annex the Five Symbols Sect."
"It's not difficult at all."
The sect leader of the Flower Spirit Sect nodded:
"But this move is not intended to make them resist the Azure Cloud Sect."
He then explained his true intentions.
It's simply a way to distract oneself.
The group from the Azure Cloud Sect had a strong possessive nature.
As long as they intentionally show an inclination to approach the Five Symbols Sect.
Whether out of vigilance or jealousy, they will inevitably point the finger at the Five Symbols Sect.
In short, what they wanted to do was to escalate the conflict and make the Five Symbols Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect clash first.
This would give them more time to find a solution.
"I never imagined the sect leader possessed such methods."
One of the elders relaxed and remarked with emotion:
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't have even thought of doing that."
The sect leader said nothing.
If it weren't for the crisis she was facing, she wouldn't have thought that the Five Symbols Sect could be of any use to her under normal circumstances.
Now, this sudden flash of inspiration has proven to be quite feasible.
At this moment, an elder suddenly asked:
"Sect Master, how should we show our approach?"
All the elders looked on.
The sect leader pondered for a moment and said:
"Marriage alliance."
Ordinary communication is too weak.
Direct cooperation would be too significant.
A marriage alliance, just right.
"If we're going to arrange a marriage, who should we send? Among the Five Symbols Sect, who is worthy of a marriage alliance?" an elder asked hesitantly.
At this moment, an elder seemed to remember something and said:
"Do you all remember when we were discussing the Heavenly Azure Ruins, there was a disciple from the Five Symbols Sect who performed quite well, his name was Chen something, I can't quite recall."
"It seems to be Chen Gu," an elder said.
"Yes, yes, it should be him. He seems to be a disciple from Hidden Origin Peak. I think he's capable."
Upon hearing this, the sect leader gently shook his head.
"He may be capable, but he's still just a disciple."
"As for his master, the peak master of Hidden Origin Peak, I remember he's not very old either."
Upon hearing this, the elder immediately nodded and said:
"I have a vague recollection, but I can't quite remember what it was called, something like something-or-other."
"Lu Changzhi," the sect leader spoke.
At that moment, the elders' expressions changed, and they realized the feasibility.
"He's a junior, and he has status, but I wonder if he lives up to his name," an elder said softly.
At this moment, the sect leader's gaze swept over everyone:
"Which of you elders intends to have your disciple marry into this family?"
As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, and Lu Changzhi's previous image appeared in the void.
One of the elders' expressions shifted slightly:
"Sect Master, I am skilled in makeup; perhaps I should take over this task under my new name."
The sect leader glanced at the elder and nodded slightly:
"Very well, if that's the case, then let's spread the word and prepare for the marriage alliance."
Northern Region.
Star Moon Holy Land.
"Having destroyed the Mystic One Sect, a top power in the Eastern Region, and then formed a cooperation with the Azure Cloud Sect, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is truly becoming increasingly audacious."
"With such benefits in front of them, who could resist? Although the Eastern Region is weak, its resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Even a small gain is still a gain. After doing so much, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land has probably reaped considerable benefits."
"Those bald-headed bastards from the Western Region have recently begun invading my Northern Region, and with the Cloud Heaven Holy Land making a move in the Eastern Region, this Land of the Four Directions is indeed on the verge of chaos."
"The Cloud Heaven Holy Land has always been in competition with my Star Moon Holy Land. Seeing that they can't compete, they've now gone to the Eastern Region to reap benefits. How laughable! We can't let them have their way. We should start making preparations for the Eastern Region in the near future."
The Northern Region, Extreme Arms Holy Land.
"The Great Age has begun, and as expected, the world is already in chaos even before it has started. I never imagined that it would be led by the forces of my Northern Region."
"It seems that too much time has passed, and the Cloud Heaven Holy Land has forgotten what their ancestors did back then."
"Not necessarily. Perhaps this is just a test. After all, so many years have passed, and some petty people may have intentionally or unintentionally forgotten many things."
"Discussing these matters is not urgent. Gentlemen, now that the great era has begun, chaos in all directions is inevitable. The Cloud Heaven Holy Land has already taken its first step. What are your thoughts on the Eastern Region?"
"The Eastern Region has survived to this day thanks to my Extreme Arms Holy Land. If they knew the past, they would understand what the right thing to do was. However, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land has already acted prematurely, deliberately causing trouble for itself."
"There's nothing to see here. In this world, all sorts of opportunities and treasures are possible. We must obtain them as quickly as possible. Although the Eastern Region is in a bad state, it is also a highly contested area. We cannot sit idly by, or it will be no different from handing it over to the Southern Region."
"Gentlemen, the great era has begun, and the agreements have been broken. All these things are interconnected and mysterious. I have already passed these matters on to the ancestors, who may participate in the decision-making process."
