Chapter 305: Three Sects Form an Alliance, Annihilating the Moonlight Sect! (Part 1)

2024-05-24

This news spread like an 18-level typhoon, sweeping across the land in an instant. Not only was it extremely fast, but its destructive power was also unparalleled, leaving many people from various factions with a sense of dread.

Even those who had no connection to the Moon Embrace Palace couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, with many thinking, "This is too ridiculous!" and "How could this be?"

"The Pill Emperor, Dan Tower! That's a legendary place, renowned throughout the land. Even if we're not in the same domain, the name Dan Tower is still widely recognized. Although they may not be known for their combat prowess, they're still a treasure trove for countless factions."

"Although I've heard that Dan Tower has been having some troubles lately, they shouldn't have allied themselves with a minor sect like Moon Embrace Palace. Why not join a top-tier powerhouse instead?"

"With Dan Tower's reputation and alchemy skills, they could easily join any faction they want."

"This is absurd! It's truly unbelievable."

"I've thought of many possibilities, but not this one."

"I'm envious!"

"Why didn't they choose us?"

"What has Moon Embrace Palace done to deserve this?"

"I have no idea what kind of luck they've stumbled upon."

The news left many people speechless, with some feeling jealous and others thinking that the balance of power was about to shift.

"From now on, we need to keep a close eye on the Southwestern Domain, especially Moon Embrace Palace. Something big is bound to happen!"

Meanwhile, at the Fan family...

Upon receiving the news, everyone was stunned. Then, they all burst out laughing.

"Haha! Is this news true?"

"The Sect Master has personally announced the 'good news,' so it must be real."

"This is amazing!"

"It's too wonderful!"

"With Dan Tower's help, our Sect's power will soar. We've already seen significant growth in the past few years, and now, with Dan Tower's alchemy, we'll have an abundance of resources."

"Not only will we have enough pills, but we can also sell the excess to acquire more resources. Our future is looking bright!"

The family members were ecstatic, but their leader, Fan Jianqiang, cautioned them to remain calm.

"This is indeed a great opportunity, but we must be careful. Good things can quickly turn into disasters if we're not cautious."

The family members nodded in agreement, knowing that they couldn't afford to be complacent.

At the Liu family...

Liu Wanli was pacing back and forth, trying to process the news. After confirming its authenticity, he still couldn't believe it.

"Damn it! This is really happening?"

He gave himself two loud slaps on the face to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"I knew it, I knew my investment would pay off! Haha! Who can match my investment skills?"

However, he soon realized that his family's power was insufficient and that they needed to recruit external help.

"Decided! Spread the word, we're hiring Guest Elders and long-term workers. Those with skills and a strong work ethic are welcome to join us. Our pay will be 30% higher than the industry average!"

Liu Wanli rushed out, leaving his subordinates confused.

What was he doing?

The old man had barely finished speaking before he left.

Liu Wanli replied, "I'm going to prepare a gift and congratulate the Sect Master, of course!"

He thought to himself, what kind of gift could they possibly give to Moon Embrace Palace, considering their current power and influence?

The entire Liu family would be the gift,” he thought. "I'll make us a part of their family, and that will be the greatest investment of my life. If it pays off, our future will be limitless. But if it fails..."

Liu Wanli laughed loudly and walked away, feeling confident in his decision.

At the Hai family...

The high-ranking members were overjoyed.

"Moon Embrace Palace has merged with Dan Tower? No, it's more like they've been acquired! After all, Moon Embrace Palace is still the dominant party."

"Ha ha ha, that's true."

"This is great news for us."

"Honestly, I was against giving the Crystal Flame to Xiao Ling'er earlier, but now I realize I was short-sighted."

"I wholeheartedly agree with this!"

"It seems that we need to further strengthen our relationship with the Moon Holding Sect."

"..."

At this moment, Hai Dongpo was loitering near the Moon Holding Sect.

Gazing at the brightly lit and joyous scene, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He congratulated himself on his wise decision!

By establishing a good relationship with the Moon Holding Sect, would they ever lack alchemy pills in the future?

But soon, his expression changed slightly.

"No, we can't be careless!"

After all, the prerequisite for not lacking alchemy pills is for the Moon Holding Sect to stabilize itself in the upcoming turmoil.

"Fortunately..."

"I can be of some help."

He narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance. With his powerful divine consciousness, many hidden methods were exposed.

"They came so quickly, these petty villains."

"But..."

"Now, I can't let the Moon Holding Sect encounter any trouble."

"Then I'll have to make you..."

He quietly disappeared.

A moment later, when he reappeared, the surrounding area was already filled with a bloody aura.

...

The news quickly reached the Moonlight Sect.

Everyone in the Moonlight Sect...

Was stunned.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Lu Ming was also dumbfounded! As the de facto Sect Master, he was even nominated by everyone to sit in the first position.

But his expression was far from pleasant.

Everyone in the Moonlight Sect felt the same way!

They looked at each other in disbelief, finding it hard to believe.

"How could this happen?!"

The Second Elder gnashed his teeth, filled with envy and jealousy.

His eyes turned red with jealousy! "What merits or abilities does the Moon Holding Sect have that they can get the Pill Tower to merge with them, and even before that, they didn't leak a single hint?"

"This is too absurd! Even if the Pill Tower wanted to merge with a sect, it should have been us, the Moonlight Sect!!! What does the Moon Holding Sect count for?!"

The Second Elder was truly envious.

Why wasn't the Moonlight Sect chosen?

"And why was it so fast? Not even a single hint beforehand?!"

"Even if there was a hint, we could've found a way... but there wasn't any!"

"The Pill Tower, the Pill Emperor, and the others are the same!"

"What great reputation and status do they have that they can be incorporated so easily? Do they have no pride at all?"

"Do they have no shame?"

"Why?!"

"Damn it!"

The other elders also nodded in agreement, their eyes turning red with envy. They felt hesitant and dejected, even a bit flustered.

This... was definitely not good news!

The tragic state of the Xi Men family was still fresh in their minds!

Lu Elder had such influence back then, but now, the Moon Holding Sect suddenly gained the power and influence of the Pill Tower. How could the Moonlight Sect compete with them?

It's impossible!

Not to mention the future, just the present situation...

The two sects had already switched from offense to defense.

How could they deal with this?

No one was a fool; just a little thought would make this clear.

This made them anxious and flustered!

Seeing their worried expressions, Lu Ming's face showed concern, but he was actually laughing inside.

Why didn't they hear any hints?

If they had heard the news, wouldn't it have caused more trouble?

Naturally, they couldn't be allowed to know! After all, the principle of secrecy is something I understand.

Cough.

He coughed and said, "This matter is extremely unfavorable for our Moonlight Sect."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Who could argue with that?

"Sigh."

Lu Ming sighed again, "Although I'm known as the Great Master of Alchemy, just me alone is definitely not a match for the entire Pill Tower."

"This point still needs to be made clear."

"We understand, Elder Lu. We wouldn't let you face the Moon Holding Sect and the Pill Tower alone."

"But..."

"Cough, the problem is that our alchemy techniques are truly lacking."

"This..."

"Sigh."

Lu Ming sighed lightly, "Let's take it one step at a time, do our best, and leave the rest to fate."

"The Moon Holding Sect is too demonic. Over these years, with Lin Fan, they've become so powerful that they've switched from offense to defense."

"As of now, the situation has reversed."

"Fortunately, our Moonlight Sect's foundation is still here. If the Moon Holding Sect wants to attack us, it won't be that easy."

"Our sect, though unable to annihilate the Moon Holding Sect, their wish to annihilate us is just a pipe dream."

"For now..."

"We can only temporarily retreat and wait for the future."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, they didn't have much pressure.

"Let's disperse. Don't feel too much pressure. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way; when the boat reaches the bridgehead, it will straighten itself. I believe our Moonlight Sect still has a bright future."

"The Moon Holding Sect, don't even think about easily defeating us!"

"Let's work hard together!!!"

"Yes!!!"

Everyone reluctantly raised their spirits and dispersed.

"Nonsense."

Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Then~

A slightly cringey voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Step two, initiate~!"

...

"Junior Sister, did you remember everything?!"

Fan Jianqiang spoke solemnly, "Everything I said earlier, you must remember. Absolutely no mistakes can be made, or the consequences... um, are hard to estimate and definitely not good!"

"I remembered everything." Ya Ya nodded, "When will we take action?"

At this moment, Fan Jianqiang took out the sound transmission jade talisman.

"Step two, initiate~!"

Fan Jianqiang smiled, feeling excited.

But soon, the smile on his face disappeared, and he hesitated, "But we must not be careless!"

"Be cautious!"

"Better safe than sorry!"

"Remember that."

"Ya Ya rolled her eyes slightly.

Second Senior Brother...

He's good in everything, just too 'cautious'!

'Remember that, and let's go.'

Fan Jianqiang nodded in satisfaction and immediately displayed the Thousand Transformations Art.

Ya Ya followed closely behind.

In an instant, both of them transformed into strangers.

One was an Elder of the Yan Yang Shen Palace~

The other, was a trusted confidant of the Xinghai Alliance!

'Let's go!'

The two exchanged glances and parted ways, heading towards the Yan Yang Shen Palace and the Xinghai Alliance respectively.

The Alliance's confidant, Zhao Tiehong, headed to the Yan Yang Shen Palace, while the Yan Yang Shen Palace Elder, Nie Xionghxin, made his way to the Xinghai Alliance.

...

Inside the Yan Yang Shen Palace.

Yan Lie's face, which had been dark for a long time, finally showed some improvement.

Previously, the Hao Yue Sect had suffered a huge loss! They had almost lost their pants.

The Hao Yue Sect had suffered almost no losses, while his own side had lost both face and strength, a sense of gratitude for a piece of news that had originally had little to do with them.

But at this moment, it became relevant!

The Dan Tower had merged with the Lan Yue Sect.

The Lan Yue Sect and the Hao Yue Sect were rivals!

'Nowadays, the Hao Yue Sect must be restless, this... is also a not-too-bad piece of news.'

He sighed lightly.

Just at that moment, a disciple guarding the mountain came to BLACK.

'Palace Master, Elders, the trusted confidant of the Xinghai Alliance, Zhao Tiehong, requests an audience.'

'Zhao Tiehong?'

Yan Lie and the others exchanged glances, all of them slightly startled.

They were certainly not strangers to this person.

After all, they were both top-tier sects in the Southwestern Domain, and it was only natural for them to have mutual understanding.

Zhao Tiehong was a trusted confidant of the Xinghai Alliance, second only to the Alliance Master himself within the sect.

His strength was also extremely astonishing, not to be underestimated.

'What's his purpose here?'

Yan Lie frowned slightly, but after a moment's thought, he still allowed him to enter.

'Let him in, let's see what he has to say.'

'Yes, Palace Master.'

Soon after, Zhao Tiehong arrived.

Upon seeing Yan Lie, he immediately clasped his fists, 'Greetings, Yan Palace Master.'

'No need for such formality, please take a seat.'

Yan Lie waved his hand, offering him a seat.

'Thank you, Palace Master.'

Zhao Tiehong smiled, 'Honest people don't speak in riddles. I have come here with an important matter to discuss.'

'Feel free to speak, please!' Yan Lie gave him ample respect.

Zhao Tiehong took a deep breath, lowering his voice, 'On that day, during the battle outside the Hao Yue Sect, we were also there.'

'However, we arrived a bit late and didn't get a chance to fight. But we witnessed the situation clearly.'

As soon as he said this, Yan Lie and the others' eyebrows furrowed.

What kind of talk is this?

Are you mocking us?!

This is simply outrageous!

They almost couldn't help but lose their temper.

Fortunately, Zhao Tiehong spoke quickly, and before they could explode, he continued, 'The Hao Yue Sect... has produced a true dragon!'

'That Lu Ming is only at the Seventh Realm, yet he possesses such strength. Moreover, he holds an extremely high status within the Hao Yue Sect, with many calling him the Sect Master.'

'If we don't deal with him, the Hao Yue Sect will become a thorn in our sides!'

'Both our sides have had friction with the Hao Yue Sect for a long time, and now, it can be said that it's getting worse.'

'It's only because the Hao Yue Sect's strength isn't too overwhelming. If we give them more time to develop, when they grow stronger, when they possess sufficient power, they will likely strike us first...'

'By then, both you and I will be in danger!'

'It's better to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.'

'...'

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie and the others' anger dissipated.

Obviously, he wasn't here to ridicule or mock them, but to genuinely discuss a matter.

And...

Listening to the beginning, they already had a rough idea of what he wanted to say.

'What do you mean?'

Yan Lie asked.

Knowing, yet pretending not to know, was the best way to maintain control~

'I won't beat around the bush.' Zhao Tiehong took a deep breath, 'The conflict between our Xinghai Alliance and the Hao Yue Sect is inevitable.'

'Therefore, it's either their destruction or our demise!'

'To annihilate the Hao Yue Sect, our Xinghai Alliance's strength is insufficient. Hence, we need allies.'

'I wonder...'

'Does your Palace have any interest?'

'If you're interested, let's join hands...'

'Oh?!'

Yan Lie raised an eyebrow, 'Explain!'

'...'

Inside the Xinghai Alliance.

Nie Xionghxin's journey was smooth and unhindered as he met with the Alliance Master and the various leaders.

Soon after...

He delivered a speech similar to Zhao Tiehong's, only with the 'subject' changed.

Listening to this, the Xinghai Alliance members were also intrigued.

'It makes sense.'

'Indeed, the current Hao Yue Sect is formidable.'

'If their next Sect Master is also an existence like Ji Haoyue, even if they can slightly suppress us, it will be like that.'

'But Lu Ming is too monstrous. If we don't deal with him quickly, giving him enough time, I fear that in a few decades or even a century, we will all be exterminated.'

One of the Vice Alliance Masters couldn't help but whisper.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

'With just the first level of the Seventh Realm, he possesses such strength. When he enters the Eighth Realm, who can stop him? I fear he won't be much weaker than an ordinary Ninth Realm cultivator!'

'No, he can't be a match for a Ninth Realm cultivator, but for us, there's no difference. It's like cutting down vegetables, an instant kill.'

'So...'

Nie Xionghxin earnestly advised, 'Our cooperation is a must!'

'Moreover, the sooner the better.'

'The later it is, the stronger Lu Ming and the Hao Yue Sect will become!'

'After all, Lu Ming is not only powerful himself, but also a Great Master of Alchemy. He can continuously refine high-quality pills for the Hao Yue Sect. With this, they will...'

'This makes sense!'

'I believe it's feasible!'

The Alliance Master slowly spoke, 'Moreover, we indeed can't let the Hao Yue Sect continue to develop unchecked.

(Chapter End)

Action:

"Otherwise, our future is shrouded in darkness, and we won't see any hope."

"Exactly!" Nie Xionghxin nodded vigorously, "So... let's form an Alliance and deal with the Moonlight Sect together?"

"I don't have any objections."

The Alliance Master spoke in a deep voice, "But can you make the decision on your own?"

"Moreover, just the two of us might not be enough."

"Even if we win in a fight, we'll still suffer significant losses, it's not a stable plan!"

"Well... I can't make the decision alone, but I came here with the Palace Master's intentions."

"Besides, we have helpers!"

"What helpers?" Everyone became interested.

Nie Xionghxin slowly said, "The Shadow Demon Palace!"

Shadow Demon Palace?!

The crowd's pupils suddenly constricted.
