Chapter 44 Lobbying various forces
The Ye family.

In the central hall, Ye Bufan sat in the upper seat, and next to him sat an old man.

It was Wu Gang who came from afar.

"Patriarch Ye, I won't beat around the bush with you. Da Zhou wants to form an alliance with the Ye clan to jointly deal with the Northern Territory. What do you think?"

Wu Gang looked at Ye Bufan and said in a deep voice.

Ye Bufan was silent.

Honestly.

He was deeply shocked after learning about the great victory in the Northern Territory, defeating the barbarians and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The strength of the Northern Territory is too strong!

Five holy realms!

This achievement is really dazzling.

Ye Bufan had asked himself many times, can the Ye family do it?
No!

Even if they activated their underlying strength, the Ye family would not be able to kill the five Saint Realm warriors, and could only defeat them at best.

Although there is only one word difference between defeat and killing, there is actually a world of difference between them.

But this is not the most important thing. What was Qin Qian's birthplace?
Young Master of the Qin Family!

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Qin family is a behemoth, but in the eyes of the saint realm warriors, the Qin family is just that.

If that’s the case, where did the saint-level warriors under Qin Qian come from?

The answer is self-evident.

And this is exactly what Ye Bufan is afraid of.

You know, the ascension channel has not been opened yet, but the forces behind Qin Qian can send strong men to the lower realm.
Wu Gang seemed to see Ye Bufan's worry and said with a smile: "Patriarch Ye, I have asked someone to find out the forces behind Qin Qian. If nothing unexpected happens, the results will be out in the next two days!"

Ye Bufan's pupils shrank slightly and his expression changed.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with the ancestor. Senior, you have been traveling so long, why don't you rest for two days at the Ye family?"

“The clan leader is thoughtful!”

Wu Gang's face was full of smiles as he stood up and left the hall.

After he left, Ye Bufan's face turned gloomy. Wu Gang stayed in the Ye family, clearly waiting for an attitude.

select!

Either choose Qin Qian!
Or choose the Great Zhou Dynasty!
As for not choosing either side, the Ye clan does not have the strength to do so.

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan shook his head and sighed softly.

At this time, the importance of a strong backer becomes apparent.

Although the Ye family's backer in the upper realm is also powerful, it is far inferior to the Tianyin Immortal Sect.

Therefore, when dealing with the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Ye family was always at a disadvantage, and whenever a dispute arose, they would appear to lack confidence.

Hidden forces?

It's just a nice way of saying it!

The Ye family has been living in seclusion and keeping a low profile for many years, mainly to temporarily avoid the attention of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wan Jian Zong.

Sword Hall.

Jian Chenzi sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, a sharp aura emanating from his whole body.

"Master, the Ninth Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here to visit!"

At this time, an elder came in and bowed.

"understood!"

Jian Chenzi replied: "Please ask him to come in!"

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, the elder turned around and retreated.

"It's finally here!"

Jian Chenzi suddenly opened his eyes, and two golden lights burst out, like sharp swords, piercing through layers of void.

He slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the world in the distance, and said softly: "Qin Qian, what secrets are hidden behind you?"

About half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of footsteps was heard.

Jian Chenzi turned his head and saw the elder who had just left walk in, followed by a tall man.

"See the sect master!"

The Ninth Ancestor stared at Jian Chenzi and said with a bow.

"Please sit down!"

Jian Chenzi pointed at the chair beside him and asked softly, "I wonder why the Ninth Ancestor came to my Wanjian Sect?"

"Alliance!"

Jiu Zu sat on the chair and said with a smile.

Jian Chenzi's brows were calm, and his eyes were calm. "The Wanjian Sect has been secluded from the world and has never actively intervened in the disputes in the Qing Realm. Please give me a reason to form an alliance."

He neither refused nor agreed.

The implication.

It's just asking for benefits.

Jiu Zu looked at Jian Chenzi, and his mouth twitched. It is said that swordsmen have upright personalities, and seeing him today, it is indeed true.

The Ninth Ancestor thought for a while and said, "I can make the decision and allow the Sword Sect to develop branches and recruit disciples within the Great Zhou Dynasty. How about that?"

Jian Chenzi looked at the Ninth Ancestor quietly without saying anything.

Jiu Zu gritted his teeth and said, "Add another spiritual stone mine!"

Spiritual stone mine!
The spiritual stones needed for production and cultivation are strategic resources and are extremely scarce.

Jian Chenzi remained silent.

Jiu Zu frowned slightly, "You don't want to form an alliance with us?"

"The risks of forming an alliance are too great, but that's not the main reason. The main reason I disagree is..."

Jian Chenzi smiled and said, "The price you gave is too low!"

"Then what do you want?"

The Nine Ancestors asked in a serious tone.

"An opportunity to go to the upper world!"

"impossible!"

Jiu Zu refused without even thinking about it.

According to convention, when a person chosen by the upper realm ascends, he or she can bring three other people with him or her.

Limited places available!
There isn't even enough to go around within the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could it possibly be given to the Wanjian Sect?
"see a visitor out!"

Jian Chenzi instructed calmly.

Hearing this, Jiu Zu's face turned ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Jian Chenzi, you have to think it over carefully. My empress is a disciple of the leader of the Tianyin Immortal Sect. Alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty is the way out for the Wanjian Sect."

"roll!"

Jian Chenzi's eyes narrowed and he shouted.

boom!
An extremely terrifying power burst out from his body.

The chair under Jiu Zu exploded and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and avoided making a fool of himself.

"Humph!"

He took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves, and turned away.

After leaving the sword hall, he flew straight into the sky.

Seeing this, the elder said with some concern: "Sect Master, are we going too far?"

"The pattern!"

Jian Chenzi shook his head and said, "You have to understand that we are not asking the Great Zhou Dynasty for help now, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is asking us for help. If that's the case, how can we be bought off by petty gains?"

"Can"

The elder hesitated and said, "I think the Great Zhou Dynasty has given enough!"

Whether it is the establishment of a branch sect or a spirit stone mine, both are urgently needed by the Wanjian Sect.

"so."

Jian Chenzi glanced at the elder and said softly, "This sect says that you have no vision. It's high risk, and you need a high return to invest!"

Elder: "."

Acacia sect.

In the main hall of the clan, an elder walked in, bowed and reported: "Clan Master, the Queen of the Great Zhou has sent someone."

But before he could finish his words, a cold voice rang out, "No, tell them to go away. We, the Hehuan Sect, will not get involved in the conflict between the Great Zhou and the Northern Territory!"

"As ordered!"

The elder bowed and left in a hurry.

After leaving the sect, he said to the female official, "Miss, please go back! Our sect leader does not see guests!"

The female official frowned slightly, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, then said: "Elder, I have a letter here, please pass it to the sect master. If the sect master still insists on not seeing me after reading this letter, then I will not bother him, how about that?"

"This"

The elder hesitated.

Upon seeing this, the female official quietly handed over a space storage ring.

Seeing that there was no one around, the elder held the space ring, saw hundreds of spirit stones, took the letter and said, "Only this once!"

"Thank you!"

The female officer said with a smile.

The elder did not reply, but turned and went into the sect, handing the letter written by the female official to the leader of the Hehuan sect.

The leader of the Hehuan Sect frowned and opened the letter impatiently. However, when he saw the content of the letter, his eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing became rapid.

There were only four big words written on this letter.

Immaculate divine body!

"Quick, please invite the messenger in, and be polite and use the highest etiquette."

The leader of Hehuan Sect originally wanted to ask the elders to go, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind, stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll go myself!"

As he spoke, he was already walking outside, and said excitedly: “I didn’t expect that the legendary physique would actually appear.

If it is true, it will be the greatest opportunity of my life!"
