Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 976 - 666: Linghu Sect and Ten Thousand Immortal Sect Form an Alliance

Hearing the answer from his subordinate, Lu Yanghua chuckled and then said, "At least that woman has some awareness of her situation."

He had initially thought that Yun Qingshu believed he had left the Tianyuan World and could no longer intervene, which was why she refused to give up the coordinates to the Tianchen World.

Since Yun Qingshu planned to personally go to the Tianchen World to capture Yun Xianxian, naturally there was no problem...

However...

He wanted to know the coordinates of the Tianchen World, but not just to capture Yun Xianxian from the Tianchen World. He also planned to send people to Tianchen World to increase some trial difficulty for his ninth brother and to properly train him.

Of course, since Yun Qingshu was going to Tianchen World personally, it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t hand over the coordinates.

The people with Yun Qingshu would send back their location in real-time, and by then, they could send someone to quietly follow behind Yun Qingshu’s Immortal Boat to Tianchen World. Explore more at novelbuddy

Thinking this, Lu Yanghua’s lips curved slightly, and he then muttered to himself, "Ninth brother, I hope you will be satisfied with the surprise Elder Brother has prepared for you."

...

Misty World.

Linghu Sect, Meeting Hall.

In the hall, there were many new faces; previously, the Linghu Sect did not have so many cultivators in the Genesis Realm, but now their number had doubled compared to the past.

Jiang Hongye glanced around at the attendees and was about to say something when an Elder stood up and said, "Sect Master, now that the three major powers have divided the Misty World among themselves, we should consider our next move."

Following that, another Elder also spoke up, "Yes, Sect Master, looking at the current situation, sooner or later we will clash with either the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect or the Misty Immortal Sect. Since that is the case, we should be prepared in advance."

Then, several more Elders suggested that the Linghu Sect should take action.

They said as much, but none of them proposed what exactly they should do or how; they just felt that the situation was very dangerous, with the Linghu Sect being at the tail end and possibly being wiped out by a coalition of the Misty Immortal Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect at any moment.

Hadn’t their three powers previously formed a strong alliance and cleared away the small fry?

Now, in front of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect, the Linghu Sect was also considered small fry. It was very likely they would collaborate again and divide up the Linghu Sect.

Hearing the Elders’ words, Jiang Hongye said coldly, "Since you all have noticed that our situation is very dangerous, then come up with a good solution, each of you just talks about taking action but I see none of you coming up with a good plan."

With these words from Jiang Hongye, the Elders in the hall instantly quieted down, none of them spoke again because they indeed had no good plan.

At that moment, an inner gate Steward hurried into the hall and said to Jiang Hongye, "Sect Master, the Misty Immortal Sect Master has sent a letter."

Then, the Steward handed over the letter he held.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hongye slightly furrowed his brows, but he still waved a hand and the letter in the Steward’s hand instantly flew into Jiang Hongye’s hands.

Jiang Hongye opened the letter and scanned the contents.

An Elder urgently asked, "Sect Master, may I ask what Han Yuankai has said in the letter?"

Jiang Hongye snorted coldly and said, "What else could he say? He just wants me to go to the Misty Immortal Sect to discuss forming an alliance against the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect."

Hearing this, the Elders in the hall immediately became excited, as an alliance with the Misty Immortal Sect would mean they needn’t fear being annihilated by the two major sects.

An Elder began, "Sect Master, this is good news! If we can form an alliance with the Misty Immortal Sect, then our previous concerns would be..."

Before the Elder could finish, Jiang Hongye interrupted, "This is not good news at all."

"How do you know Han Yuankai’s invitation for me to the Misty Immortal Sect doesn’t have other motives?"

"If this is a trap, once I go there, I might never be able to return."

"Moreover, even if the Linghu Sect now joins forces with the Misty Immortal Sect to eliminate the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, it’s very likely that the Misty Immortal Sect would next turn on the Linghu Sect. And without the restraint of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, it would be easier for the Linghu Sect to be wiped out by the Misty Immortal Sect."

Jiang Hongye was no fool, he clearly understood the ambition of the Misty Immortal Sect and knew how ambitious Han Yuankai was.

Although he had initially planned to join forces with the Misty Immortal Sect to confront the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, as the power structure in the Misty World changed, he gradually realized that something was amiss.

He did not want to be used by Han Yuankai.

Hearing what Jiang Hongye said, the Elders in the hall fell silent once again.

Indeed, no one could be sure whether the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect had already secretly formed an alliance. If their Sect Master really goes to the Misty Immortal Sect to discuss some sort of alliance with Han Yuankai now, it could be very likely that they would fall into their trap.

Although the Misty Immortal Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had formed a powerful alliance, the Linghu Sect also had considerable strength, especially with the sect’s mountain gate formation; even a combined assault by both the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect might not breach it.

However, if Sect Master Jiang Hongye were to be eliminated, then the Linghu Sect would collapse on its own.

The Linghu Sect had only one strong cultivator at the Yin-Yang Realm, Jiang Hongye himself, with the other strong cultivators at the Creation Realm Ninth Level being leaders from other forces. After joining Linghu Sect, they had not completely pledged their loyalty.

Without Jiang Hongye, those cultivators at the Creation Realm Ninth Level would inevitably aim to seize power and wealth, and none would submit to another. Even with the mountain gate’s formation, when the two sects attacked, the entire Linghu Sect would fail to unite and resist.

Another scenario was Han Yuankai personally wanting to subsume Linghu Sect.

If Jiang Hongye traveled to the territory of the Misty Immortal Sect, with the strength of the Misty Immortal Sect, retaining him would pose no difficulty.

Once they had eliminated this sect leader, Han Yuankai would personally go to persuade the disciples of Linghu Sect to surrender. With their sect leader dead, the disciples of Linghu Sect would likely surrender to the Misty Immortal Sect.

In this way, it would be very easy for the Misty Immortal Sect to destroy the Linghu Sect.

So, in any case, Jiang Hongye must not travel to the Misty Immortal Sect, let alone help the Misty Immortal Sect against the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.

At this moment, the Meeting Hall was incredibly tense, the sound of people’s breathing audible.

After an unknown amount of time, an elder opened his mouth and asked, "Sect Master, what should we do next?"

Jiang Hongye was the cornerstone of the entire Linghu Sect; everyone now could only hope that he would come up with a good plan.

At this time, Jiang Hongye’s brow smoothed out, as though he had thought of something.

"I have thought of a method."

Just as everyone was about to ask what the method was, Jiang Hongye continued, "In a few days, you will know."

...

A few days later.

Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.

In the Meeting Hall, Ji Hongwen was holding a letter, seriously reading the text inside.

After finishing the letter, Ji Hongwen’s lips slightly curved upward, and then he murmured to himself, "It seems Han Yuankai’s plan will fall through. Jiang Hongye isn’t completely foolish."

The letter Ji Hongwen was holding was written by Jiang Hongye himself, where he had explained how the Misty Immortal Sect was drawing in the Linghu Sect to destroy the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.

Jiang Hongye had done this to show the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect that while they could have agreed to join with the Misty Immortal Sect to destroy them, they hadn’t done so, displaying utmost benevolence and righteousness.

If in the future the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Misty Immortal Sect joined forces against the Linghu Sect, it would be unethical. At the same time, Jiang Hongye was also reminding Ji Hongwen how ambitious Han Yuankai was, and that the ultimate goal of the Misty Immortal Sect was definitely to eliminate all the forces in the Misty World.

Once all forces in Misty World were eliminated, when the restrictions of Misty World lifted, the entire Tianchen World would belong solely to the Misty Immortal Sect, making them a power to reckon with eventually.

Jiang Hongye specifically reminded in the letter that they had already seen the strength of Han Yuankai. If either the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect or the Linghu Sect faced the Misty Immortal Sect alone, they were likely not strong enough to compete.

Therefore, the Linghu Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect should join forces against the Misty Immortal Sect, though this alliance was meant only for defense, not necessarily to destroy the Misty Immortal Sect.

Through Jiang Hongye’s letter, Ji Hongwen also realized that Jiang Hongye wanted to maintain the independence of the Linghu Sect and serve as a buffer between the two great sects.

Whichever was the stronger would make the Linghu Sect lean towards the relatively weaker, maintaining stability in the Misty World.

Once they entered the Tianchen World, the Linghu Sect might adopt this strategy of balance, indeed maintaining a balance between the three major powers.

Although the Misty Immortal Sect was strong, they did not have the absolute power to eliminate both the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect and the Linghu Sect at the same time. Seeing the Linghu Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect growing closer, Han Yuankai naturally would not dare to act rashly.

Given Jiang Hongye’s proposal, Ji Hongwen had no reason to refuse. He now only needed to continue stalling until the restrictions of Misty World lifted, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect could enter Tianchen World and regroup with their master.

Subsequently, Ji Hongwen wrote a letter to Jiang Hongye, agreeing to ally with Linghu Sect. Of course, this alliance was only on the surface and not meant to join forces to attack anyone. In fact, it was just to show the Misty Immortal Sect.

The alliance between the two great powers served as a warning to the Misty Immortal Sect and Han Yuankai that their combined strength now surpassed that of the Misty Immortal Sect, which should not make any rash moves or harbor improper ambitions.

Soon, the news of the alliance between the Linghu Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect spread throughout the entire Misty World.

Upon hearing that the Linghu Sect and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect had allied, Han Yuankai showed no emotional fluctuation, as he seemed to have anticipated this alliance between them.
