"Haha, good, an alliance of evil cultivators, that's a truly excellent idea. However, I'd like to know, if this alliance is formed, who will lead it?"
The Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect narrowed his eyes and inquired. Since it was an alliance, there naturally had to be a leader. Who would hold that position was indeed a matter worth considering.
Hearing this, Xiao Feifei responded as if she had anticipated his question, "I know what Sect Master Long is worried about, but rest assured, since it's a cooperation, there's no situation where one leads the other."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
This statement confused the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect. No leader? Then whose opinions would the alliance follow?
Xiao Feifei immediately explained, "It's very simple. All major decisions will be jointly discussed by our two factions. There's no question of whose opinion takes precedence."
"Of course, if either of our factions is attacked by righteous cultivators, the other must go all out to assist, and not stand idly by!!"
Xiao Feifei added. To put it simply, it was about binding the two factions together on the same boat, sharing hardships and reaping benefits together!!
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect fell into deep thought, seemingly contemplating the pros and cons of this cooperation. However, he quickly realized it was beneficial with no drawbacks.
Currently, with various major powers emerging, although their Joyful Union Sect was also powerful and one of the three major evil cultivation forces in the west, in truth, they were still far inferior to truly super-powers.
But if they allied with the Blood Witch Organization, with the latter's strength combined with the numerous evil cultivators in the west, they could instantly become a super-power.
At that time, let alone other factions, even those few super-powers would have to weigh their options carefully before daring to move against them!!
In this way, he could not only gain more cultivation resources but also, when his cultivation reached unparalleled heights, he could even absorb the Blood Witch Organization into his fold. It was truly killing two birds with one stone!
Therefore, after a brief period of consideration, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect knew what choice to make.
However, outwardly, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he replied, "The idea is indeed very good, and I truly wish to agree. But words are not enough. How can I believe that you genuinely intend to cooperate?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Hearing this, Xiao Feifei was immediately somewhat perplexed, not understanding the meaning behind the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect's words.
Seeing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect quickly explained, "It's very simple. What if you merely intend to use the matter of cooperation as an opportunity to annex my Joyful Union Sect? I have to be wary of this!!"
Although in his heart he did not believe the Blood Witch Organization had the strength to annex their Joyful Union Sect, outwardly, he put on a worried demeanor.
Hearing this, Xiao Feifei's brows immediately furrowed tightly, but she did not doubt him. She simply asked, "Then how can you believe us?"
"It's very simple!" The Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect glanced at Xiao Feifei's proud figure hidden beneath her long skirt and said indifferently, "A marriage alliance between our two factions is the only way to ensure foolproof security!!"
"What? A marriage alliance?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Xiao Feifei was shocked, but even the two figures behind her with unreadable expressions were incredibly surprised.
They had considered that the Joyful Union Sect might make a demand, but they had never expected that demand to be a marriage alliance!!
However, upon careful consideration of the Joyful Union Sect's usual behavior, the few of them instantly understood. Given the situation of the Joyful Union Sect, this was indeed quite normal.
Therefore, Xiao Feifei quickly said, "As long as Sect Master Long agrees to the cooperation, a marriage alliance is not impossible. I wonder, who does Sect Master wish to form this alliance with?"
Even at this moment, Xiao Feifei had not yet realized that the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect's target was her, which was why she asked this.
Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect no longer concealed his desires. He licked his lips and said, "To be honest with the Saintess, I was deeply captivated by you from the first moment I saw you. Therefore, as long as the Saintess agrees to marry into my Joyful Union Sect, I can immediately agree to the cooperation!!"
"What?"
As soon as these words were uttered, before Xiao Feifei could even speak, the two protectors behind her exclaimed in shock, "Impossible, Long Ling! A marriage alliance is possible, but the Saintess cannot marry you! You are indulging in wishful thinking!"
Who was Xiao Feifei? She was the true blood of the Black Phoenix that their Blood Witch Organization had been searching for for many years, and the one who would inherit the Blood Witch Organization in the future. How could they possibly allow her to marry Long Ling!
Not only them, but even the others in the Blood Witch Organization would not agree to this condition if they knew about it, let alone Xiao Feifei herself, who would never agree!
As expected, upon hearing this, Xiao Feifei immediately shook her head and frowned, "Sect Master Long, you jest. Although I am the Saintess of the Blood Witch Organization, my status is far inferior to yours. If we were to form a marriage alliance, it would likely be an insult to your esteemed status!"
"Moreover, there are many outstanding individuals in our Blood Witch Organization whose status and strength far surpass mine. How could I possibly be worthy of your high regard!"
Although she possessed the Black Phoenix bloodline, in terms of seniority and cultivation, there were many in the Blood Witch Organization who surpassed her. Therefore, she truly couldn't understand why this old fellow would take a fancy to her.
However, upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect smiled faintly and said, "Saintess, you are too modest. Your innate talent and disposition are the most outstanding I have ever seen. A marriage alliance between us would be my climbing to a higher status!"
"Of course, the most important thing is that I genuinely like the Saintess. Therefore, I implore the Saintess to accept my affection, so that our two families may forge brilliance together!!"
In these words, half of what the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect said was true and half was false. The truth was, he was indeed smitten by Xiao Feifei's appearance and demeanor at first sight and wished to possess her. xxs
The falsehood was that forging brilliance together; his intention was merely to use Xiao Feifei's Black Phoenix true blood to break through his own cultivation, and then seize the opportunity to annex the Blood Witch Organization!!
However, upon hearing this, how could Xiao Feifei and the others not realize his intentions? He was coveting her Black Phoenix bloodline!!!!
Therefore, without any hesitation, Xiao Feifei shook her head and said, "I apologize, Sect Master Long, but I cannot agree. Let alone me, even the Grand Elder would likely not agree to this request."
"Therefore, I hope Sect Master Long will consider other requests. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any further. Whenever Sect Master has made up his mind, feel free to contact me!!"
Saying this, Xiao Feifei prepared to turn and take her leave. At this point, there was indeed nothing more to discuss. The Joyful Union Sect was not the only option for the Blood Witch Organization!
However, upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect smiled and said indifferently, "No need to consider further, Saintess. My demand is very clear, and that is you!!"
"Of course, you can also refuse. However, since you've already come, why not stay for a few more days to understand each other better? Perhaps you'll agree then!!"
With that, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect let out a sinister smile, and in the next second, more than a dozen figures blocked Xiao Feifei and the other two in the hall!
"Hmm, Sect Master Long, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Xiao Feifei and the others' expressions immediately turned grim, and they looked at Long Ling with displeased faces.
Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect, Long Ling, no longer concealed anything and immediately said with a smile, "There's nothing much to it. I've made all the arrangements in the Dragon Phoenix Hall. I request the Saintess to do me the honor of visiting!!"
What a joke! He had already prepared everything for the wedding. How could he possibly let Xiao Feifei leave?
Seeing this, Xiao Feifei and the other two finally looked utterly displeased. In the next second, a voice filled with chilling coldness emerged.....
