Chapter 722 Speculation & Alliance.

Yang Tie asked Shi Lang what he wanted to do in this situation. How did this young man wish to get back at the Zhu family for their atrocious action? The pavilion master was worried about this issue because one mistake could kick-start a war inside the city.

They were not afraid of it, but the centurion tournament was around the corner, and something like this would affect the proceedings. Yang Tie did not want that. If Shi Lang suffered any injury in this scuffle, Tian Long would blame him. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yang Tie said, "Everyone, leave."

The people realized that the Pavilion Master did not wish for them to hear the things related to this matter. They were the higher-ups, and it was not that they did not trust them. Yang Tie did not wish to drag them into unnecessary issues. The people left, and Shi Lang stood calmly before the husk of skin.

When everyone was out of the room, Yang Tie erected a barrier, and the terran said, "Have a few people carry this to the City Palace and show it to the city lord. At the same time, send Elfie to Zhu Xiameng's house. Please compensate them and tell them we did not wish to see such an ending. Elfie can help them acknowledge our sincere condolences."

Yang Tie was surprised and asked, "Young Master, can you tell me what you intend to achieve by doing this?"

Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I wish to unsettle Third Zhu. I wish for him to make a mistake. He will come knocking on the door. I can tell by the look in his eyes that he is overly ambitious. How he looks at Senior Pie, his family is up to something."

Yang Tie was shocked. He said, "Young Master, how can you be so sure? Zhu Lin could be after the administration of his family, right? He wants to be the next patriarch."

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "He does want to be the patriarch, but have you considered that if the city's administration changed hands, what would happen?"

Yang Tie replied, "Young Master, we have the sovereign backing us up."

It was correct, and they did have a couple of Immortal Sovereigns backing them. Shi Lang shook his head, "The change in city administration will influence the power dynamics of the city. City Lord Pie is an Immortal Emperor with two sovereigns' backing. However, the Zhu Family is also prominent in the city. They might have some sovereign backing them. If the Immortal Emperor from the Zhu Family acted low profile, slowly gathering strength. They can create an upset and take down the influence of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.

Today, Zhu Lin gains the Zhu Family, and tomorrow, he takes down the city. His ambition is not small, and neither is his cunning. He is a snake that will hide in the hole for centuries to stalk a prey."

His words surprised Yang Tie. The pavilion lord did not know there could be such reasons. However, he did not follow Shi Lang blindly and asked, "Young Master, all this is just your speculation. Right?"

Zither Soul waved her hand, and a case appeared in the void. Amelia was surprised, but then she smiled. She walked closer to the box. Flower Sword wanted to stop her, but the Terran Lady said, "I accept this gift, Elder Sister Zither Soul."

Zither Soul smiled widely and said, "It seems he knows you well."

Amelia smiled and replied, "If he did not even know this much about me in all these years, then I would have dumped him long ago."

Flower Sword watched the exchange and saw Amelia opening the box carefully. Inside lay a rifle made of white jade and golden trimmings. Amelia picked it up and asked, "He gave you the design?"

Zither Soul nodded and said, "All the arrays and functionalities of the rifle were specified by him also."

Amelia nodded and took an aiming stance. She aimed at the flagpost of the demon cultivator sect. The flag post was three kilometers away, and everyone looked at what the lady wanted to do. Amelia loaded a bullet from the box inside the chamber and squeezed the trigger. She channeled her spiritual energy through the weapon.

The efficiency and the damage count of the bullet had increased. Another thing was complete sound suppression. The bullet flew through the void and hit the flag post square. Flower Sword asked in surprise, "How?"

Amelia replied, "Invisible bullet."

She was happy that Shi Lang had someone of high status send such a gift to her. This was something she missed in the cultivation realm. She turned to look at Zither Soul and bowed as she said, "I thank you for this gift."

The latter waved her hand and said, "I came here for another purpose. I seek an alliance with your sect."

Flower Sword narrowed her gaze and thought Amelia would promise instantly. In the cultivation world, people had to be worried about the humans more than the demons.

However, Amelia said, "Elder Sister, it is not easy to ally with a sect. This one rifle will not cut it. How about you come to the sect? We have just finished an expedition and are tired, after freshening up. We will talk in detail."

Flower Sword and the rest of the people were surprised, but the ball was now in Zither Soul's court. The latter smiled and nodded. She said, "It would be my honor to visit your sect."

Amelia nodded and said, "Sister Ying, leave one-fourth of the people to clean up and stabilize the region. Organize the search patrols on the borders and check for any demonic cultivators. If you find any signs, react first and inform us later. Don't let them walk in if it is some human sect."

Ying Yu nodded and began to organize the place. Amelia arranged for Zither Soul to get on the spirit vessel. She was curious as to what this lady might ask her. She sent a message to Shi Lang informing him of her safety and the arrival of his gift.
