Chapter 179: Alliance
Chapter 179: Alliance
"We all know that our sect has an oath that cannot be broken. If we break it, the Five Spirit Toad will devour our hearts and souls, leaving us with no place to be buried."
Ling Kong said, "Even if it's an oath to the Heaven Scorpion God!"
"This is also to guard against those who have already agreed with others but then agreed with us. If they agree with two parties, taking the oath will also result in immediate death."
Lu Yuan looked at Fang Che, who smiled and said, "So if Brother Ye Mo has already agreed with someone else, there's no need to take the oath."
Fang Che forced a bitter smile and sighed, "Since I came in, everyone wanted to kill me. Not even a single person talked to me. Who am I supposed to promise?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
They truly didn't doubt his words.
This guy had made himself so hated outside.
Ling Kong laughed and joked, "Brother Ye Mo, what you said is not right. There are still people talking to you."
The others, including Xi Yun, Xiao Jue, and the rest, joined in the fun, "For example: Stop!"
"Surrender your life!"
"Die!"
"Scoundrel!"
"Hahaha..."
Fang Che's expression was full of sorrow, and he glared at everyone with a 'bitter' look.
This was already a joke among friends, and it was clear that everyone was intentionally trying to get closer, so they all relaxed and laughed together.
"But my current appearance is not my true self."
Fang Che 'opened up' and said, "Because our sect master doesn't want me to reveal my true self. Is that okay?"
Ling Kong replied, "What's the problem? As long as the Five Spirit Toad can contact you, it's fine! Who cares what you look like, we're not looking for a son-in-law, so why bother?"
"Exactly."
Everyone agreed.
Fang Che felt relieved. It seemed that the Heaven Scorpion God didn't place much importance on appearance either.
What a pity for my school's flower, Fang Che, who had a face like a jade sculpture.
So everyone began to take an oath to the Heaven Scorpion God.
Fang Che didn't know how to take an oath, but whatever others said, he would repeat, which wasn't difficult at all.
Moreover, he wasn't afraid of the Heaven Scorpion God either—the Five Spirit Toad was being disciplined by him daily, worse than a grandson to a grandfather. How could it retaliate?
The oath was completed.
The seven of them immediately became friendly.
"Brother Ye Mo, how old are you this year?"
Ling Kong asked with a smile.
Fang Che thought for a moment and then said a larger age, "Twenty-three."
At this age, reaching the General Rank was already considered very talented, but it couldn't be considered top-tier talent.
"Very impressive."
Ling Kong said, "I'm also twenty-three. They're all younger than me. But Brother Ye Mo, after consuming the Water Cloud Heaven Fruit, your future cultivation will definitely be faster!"
So Fang Che naturally became the oldest in the group.
Although it was just a playful title for now, whether these people truly respected this Ye Mo, everyone knew it in their hearts.
But Fang Che himself also had confidence.
This big brother position was his for sure!
The atmosphere became harmonious, and Fang Che asked, "What about that white-clothed woman, Yan Beihan? What's her background?"
With this question, the faces of the six people turned serious.
They were wary, respectful, and a little reverent.
"She's the big sister of all the young disciples in our headquarters."
Ling Kong explained, "Big Sister Yan's cultivation is the most stable among our generation. But because of her rapid progress, she reached the General Eight and Nine level, and had no choice but to stop and refine her martial techniques, waiting for a year for the Incubation to Divinity plan. This is an unavoidable matter, as the Incubation to Divinity plan can only be executed once every three years."
"To rise to a high position in the sect, you must participate in the plan. So Big Sister Yan is also waiting for the Martial Marquis level. This is an unavoidable matter, as the Incubation to Divinity plan can only be executed once every three years."
Lu Yuan laughed.
"So fast."
Fang Che was amazed. It seemed that Yan Beihan is truly a genius."
"Ahem..." Ling Kong's face twisted for a moment.
This guy was so clueless.
He explained, "A hundred years ago, Elder Yan broke through some cultivation level and suddenly developed worldly desires, taking a concubine."
Fang Che's mouth twitched, and he asked, "How old is the Elder?"
"Cough... Who knows if it's a few thousand or tens of thousands..."
Ling Kong, feeling a bit embarrassed, replied, "It's been so long that there are no descendants left. But after taking in this concubine, of course, a bloodline has been passed down."
Fang Che: "Hahaha..."
"Don't laugh!"
Ling Kong explained, "As for Yan Beihan... she's Elder Yan's... direct granddaughter, the eldest daughter, and the first in line. You understand, right?"
"So, although Sister Yan isn't that old, within our headquarters, her status is exceptionally high. Even my great-grandfather's great-grandfather's ancestors... all have to address her as Young Auntie."
Fang Che almost laughed out loud.
Although he didn't make a sound, his facial muscles twisted.
Damn... that's intense!
"Don't laugh. If you offend her, this is no small matter."
Ling Kong warned, "Currently, the Head Sect Master and the First Deputy Sect Master rarely show themselves. Within the sect, it's Deputy Sect Master Yan who manages everything! You get it?"
"I'm not laughing. How old is she? Fifty or sixty?" Fang Che asked.
"She's only nineteen this year... not fifty or sixty," Ling Kong glared at him in dissatisfaction.
It seemed like he had blasphemed the goddess in his heart with his words.
"So young?" Fang Che was taken aback and said, "Then this Water Cloud Heaven Fruit shouldn't be considered a great treasure to her, right?"
"For such a heavenly treasure, in her eyes, it's only barely worthy of her attention. But the key issue isn't here."
Ling Kong said, "The problem is that you took it from her, not that she gave it to you. That's the real problem."
"???" Fang Che showed a questioning look.
"You don't understand women."
Ling Kong patted his shoulder and said with deep meaning, "It's related to women."
"Hehehe, you don't understand women's temperaments. She can refuse, but you can't not give; she can give, but you can't take..."
Lu Yuan chimed in from the side, "Night Demon Brother is also around that age. After this trip, he should understand. At that time, he will understand deeply."
Everyone simultaneously gave a suggestive smile, indicating 'men understand.'
"hehehehe..."
How lewd.
"Since she's so formidable, why did you guys still ally with me?" Fang Che asked.
"We'll only help you deal with others. When you encounter her, you'll fight alone, and we'll definitely slip away early. If she slaughters you, we can't do anything about it."
Ling Kong spoke frankly.
So frank that Fang Che felt like punching him.
"Not just Yan Beihan, there are several others who are also beyond our means. However, those few probably won't clash with you directly; they'll try to win you over. So, your real danger, with your current strength, is only Yan Beihan."
Lu Yuan explained.
Ling Kong angrily said, "What kind of address? Call her Elder Yan!"
"Yes, yes, I misspoke earlier."
Lu Yuan quickly corrected himself.
Fang Che laughed, "Earlier, the brothers mentioned that after taking the oath, there'll be benefits. I wanted to ask about that."
Ling Kong smiled. He actually felt more at ease with Fang Che's 'profit-driven' mindset.
Those who know how to seize benefits anytime, anywhere are the ones with real potential in the cultivation world.
"That's what I plan to do. Anyway, we don't need to kill anymore. But since we've formed an alliance, Night Demon Brother, killing will benefit your future. So, the higher your ranking, the more it'll help our future."
Ling Kong smiled faintly and said, "We'll help you kill!"
The other five also had an 'I knew it' expression.
"Help me kill?"
Fang Che was stunned.
"Yes, if we encounter members of other sects, we'll attack together using shadow weapons, without harming their lives. In the end, you'll deliver the final blow."
Ling Kong affirmed.
"Is... there such a good thing?"
Fang Che couldn't help but blurt out.
"Of course. We're not doing it for free either. After killing, whatever's on the dead person is ours, right?"
"I don't care about the valuables, but this... is too good to be true."
"hehe, you're just uninformed."
Ling Kong clicked his tongue and said, "You think those top ten champions and such, how did they get there? Most of them were nurtured by headquarters like us)."
Fang Che was amazed.
What a lewd operation!
But I like this operation. Promote me, promote me!
"Then let's go!"
"But there are some things I need to clarify. It's been over half a month, in other words, the initial selection process is over. Basically, those with less cultivation or less experience have already died; by now, those remaining are mostly elites."
"Among these elites, some have likely been won over by others."
Ling Kong said, "So, if we encounter someone who has backing, we'll let both sides fight it out! You'll have to fight alone."
