Chapter 1365 - 1365 1351 Alliance (1)

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1351: Alliance (1) Chapter 1365: Chapter 1351: Alliance (1) Su Zhanze needed such an opportunity to change the image those people from the Immortal Demon Realm had of him in their hearts. He also sought an opportunity to explain, even though he really didn’t want to justify himself to those who were only concerned with themselves, but it still had to be done.

Ling Li continued, “With the Dragon Slayer Sword in the leader’s hands, and his martial arts being so high, if we could convince the Immortal Demon Realm, then we certainly wouldn’t have to be afraid of Longhun and his ilk anymore. Since that’s the case, why shouldn’t we!”

Su Zhanze said coldly, “I understand what you mean. I’ve already contacted people from the Demon Palace, and soon there will be news. At that time, we will discuss how to deal with Longhun.”

Ling Li was of course very happy. If they could join hands with the Immortal Demon Realm, he would have even more confidence.

Ma Jun said, “Longhun has stolen the Sacred Spirit Stones from the thirty-six islands, and the people of the islands still want to seek revenge on them. I think if we join forces with the people of the thirty-six islands, it would be even better.”

Su Zhanze didn’t speak; he wasn’t about to go looking for those people from the thirty-six islands just yet.

Chen Yu said, “We have never cooperated with the people from the thirty-six islands. They might not agree to work with us. Besides, when the time comes, we will have to choose an Alliance Leader to take charge of this matter. Will the Alliance Leader be from the thirty-six islands or from the Immortal Demon Realm?”

Ma Jun nodded repeatedly, saying, “That’s true, but we should have the possibility of cooperation.”

Su Zhanze didn’t want to continue on this topic and asked, “By the way, the ship you followed into the Dark Sea Territory, did it sink?”

Ling Li shook his head and said, “We don’t know yet, but the Dark Sea Territory is very dangerous, with all sorts of sea monsters. If they really encountered a large sea monster, the likelihood of the ship sinking is very high, unless they left quickly. Otherwise, they would have to find an island, but we searched inside for several days, even destroying one ship. Later, we waited on the outside for several days and still didn’t see them come out.”

“That is to say, it’s very likely that they sank, or else they went to some island?” Su Zhanze asked. He regretted not obtaining the Wolf King’s Ring; when he blew up the ship and searched for it, the storm was too fierce, and the ship collapsed suddenly. By the time he got there, the waves had already swept away everything floating on the surface. And with the darkness of the night coupled with his eagerness to pursue Longhun, the search was impossible.

Ling Li nodded and said, “A single ship entering the Dark Sea Territory is essentially courting death. That girl took a desperate risk because she knew that by entering the Dark Sea Territory, they might have a chance to shake us off. And indeed, they succeeded.”

“Can we send someone inside to search?” Su Zhanze inquired.

“I would like to, and have sent people to try and enter, but in the Dark Sea Territory, there are several hundred islands, large and small. The larger islands are even bigger than our Dragon Slayer Island. If they are really hiding on one of the islands, searching them one by one wouldn’t be something we could achieve in just a month or two,” Ling Li continued. “Besides, it’s far too dangerous inside, unlike the areas outside the Dark Sea Territory. Nobody is willing to enter the Dark Sea Territory lightly.”

Su Zhanze understood and replied, “Alright, your analysis is accurate. In the end, Longhun will appear, and they will first appear on the hundred and eight islands. After controlling the hundred and eight islands and turning them into his base, he will then enter the Central Plains. You will definitely be the first to confront him. If Longhun really manages to harness the power of Pangu’s Power from the Sacred Spirit Stones, you definitely won’t be their match. You might as well prepare to abandon Dragon Slayer Island and join hands with us to defeat him first.”

Ling Li nodded slightly.

“If you stay, you are not Longhun’s match, with no chance of fighting back. People from the Immortal Demon Realm have yet to discuss, and we don’t know where they will eventually choose to battle Longhun, but it is very likely not to be at Dragon Slayer Island. On the sea, we are not as strong as Longhun; we would rather fight them on land.”

“I understand. When the time is right, we will leave. However, I still want to search for a bit longer, to see if we can find them,” Ling Li said.

“Alright, as you wish. Just maintain constant contact with us, and immediately inform us if there’s any news of Longhun.” Su Zhanze greatly needed Ling Li and his people who were quite familiar with the hundred and eight islands. To take control of the hundred and eight islands solely with the Immortal City Sect was impossible. Ling Li was different—after defeating Longhun, Su Zhanze would need Ling Li to help him take control of the hundred and eight islands.

The people of the Immortal Demon Realm missed their chance.

Longhun had vanished completely.

The Demon Palace Master, Lou Xuancheng, quickly received Su Zhanze’s letter, which, naturally, discussed future plans to deal with Longhun.

Lou Xuancheng found the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect, Song Zheng’an, and shared Su Zhanze’s suggestion with him.

Xiong Shuobo, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly City Sect, was also present and overheard their conversation. Xiong Shuobo was still pondering whether the news he had received a few days earlier was true. Although later the people from the Immortal City Sect claimed it was a conspiracy by Longhun and Ren Haotian, he couldn’t fully believe what the people from the Immortal City Sect said.

Because the letter did make one thing clear, which was that Su Zhanze’s martial arts had indeed greatly improved in a short time. If it hadn’t been for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual being in his possession, how could his martial arts have improved from almost going berserk to defeating the Tianye Demon in just three rounds? With that in mind, he had every reason to suspect that the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual was in Su Zhanze’s hands. If it was in his hands, then the deaths of Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren were as planned by him.

The most infuriating part was that in this scheme, he had been completely played; he felt like a monkey that had been toyed with, led around by Su Zhanze from the start, ending up with nothing and earning a bad reputation. Naturally, he was very displeased.

Xiong Shuobo didn’t state his suspicions outright but instead spoke accusingly, “If it wasn’t for Su Zhanze’s desire to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone and acting in advance, how could Longhun have escaped and the situation turned out like this? Now he knows he isn’t strong enough and comes to us for discussions. I think he’s pondering the role of Alliance Leader again.”

Wan Shajiang, the Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect, also felt he had been taken for a ride and said with a cold laugh, “That’s right, I think he’s aiming to be the Alliance Leader. He hasn’t even clarified the matter about Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren to us.”

Song Zheng’an of the Nine Leaves Sect, however, knew the importance of unity at this time and said, “Didn’t the Immortal City Sect later write to us, explaining that everything was Ren Haotian’s resentment for thinking Su Zhanze usurped Ren Xiongbei’s position as Sect Leader, fabricating those things to take revenge on the Immortal City Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Xiong Shuobo chuckled and said, “Young brother, you can’t completely believe the contents of that letter from Su Zhanze. Even if he really did it, he would never admit it. I’ve seen too many people like him.”

Wan Shajiang agreed, “That’s correct, isn’t the sudden improvement in Su Zhanze’s martial arts suspicious?”

“Exactly, and there’s also the assassination of Ren Xiongbei, which I say was silencing a witness.” As Xiong Shuobo recalled the incident, he continued, “I’ve always suspected that things were not as simple as they seemed, full of dubious points, and who ultimately holds the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual is worth pondering.”

Song Zheng’an, however, said, “Just because Su Zhanze’s martial arts have improved, doesn’t mean he did it. He might have other sources. Moreover, concerning the Paper Kite Island incident, we’ve already proven Ren Haotian indeed collaborated with Longhun. There’s a real possibility Ren Haotian framed Su Zhanze and passed the blame onto him.

We were able to confirm that it was Ren Haotian who wrote the first letter we received. He hated Su Zhanze for not saving Ren Xiongbei and chose to take revenge on Su Zhanze by concocting a story, claiming that all the deeds were done by Su Zhanze. That’s also plausible.”

After hearing this, Xiong Shuobo and Wan Shajiang fell silent, but they did not give up their views, believing Su Zhanze was still a prime suspect, especially because the letter from Ren Haotian was flawless, particularly regarding the character Xiang Zi, who initially was indeed following Ren Xiongbei, and after Ren Xiongbei’s demise, promptly switched allegiance to Su Zhanze.

At this moment, Lou Xuancheng really had no mind to ponder whether the incidents concerning Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren were indeed orchestrated by Su Zhanze, but how to deal with Longhun was the urgent issue at hand. Now, only by joining hands with Su Zhanze was there a chance to defeat Longhun.

Su Zhanze possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword, the only sacred weapon capable of contending with the Sacred Spirit Stone harbored by Longhun. Right now, the most important thing was to unite all forces, figure out a way to deal with Longhun, and speak of the rest after defeating him.

He was well aware that this was not a joke; a major battle was about to break out. If the Immortal and Demon realms were defeated, they would be wiped out, so he must determine his priorities.

Lou Xuancheng said, “We have a grudge against Longhun, who will inevitably come out at some point. The most important thing now is that we should join forces to figure out a way to defeat Longhun first.”

Upon hearing this, Song Zheng’an, the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect, quickly added, “Yes, right now the most important thing is for the Immortal and Demon realms to unite, to get ready. Longhun could emerge at any time, and we should seize the moment to prepare, putting aside other things for now.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Dragon Slayer Sword was in Su Zhanze’s hands, Xiong Shuobo wouldn’t have bothered, saying, “Alright, we truly should sort out our priorities. We do need to unite at this time, after all, the Sacred Spirit Stone is in Longhun’s hands. We should think of a way to defeat Longhun first. However, I will absolutely not agree to let Su Zhanze become the Sect Leader.”

Wan Shajiang added, “That’s right, although some of you might think it’s all Ren Haotian’s conspiracy, that doesn’t exonerate Su Zhanze from suspicion, so he cannot become our Alliance Leader.”
