"Nothing to do with us? Are you still including us in your budding alliance, Zyrus Family Patriarch?"
"Of course," The Zyrus Family Patriarch turned to look at the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch, who spoke sarcastically.
"Since it's obvious that we owners of a Prefecture won't be left alone to our devices as the power dynamic might change, I took into consideration the advantages and disadvantages of inviting powers that would battle for the Candidacy."
"I understand that your power, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan, the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan, the Golden Crow Clan, the Goldlust Rat Clan, Dark Void Flame Tribe, the Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe, and the Blazing Thunder Sect are not only preordained to be not allies during the Candidacy but it also turns out that you are the ones near us who are without big alliances like the other alliances that are already shaping up all over the First Haven World, not to mention the invincible Dragon Alliance and the Phoenix Alliance that exists from time immemorial."
"If we're late, I'm afraid that we will be devoured in an instant. You may say that I'm fear-mongering, but who is to say that we really won't be suppressed to death...?"
The Zyrus Family Patriarch panned his gaze at everyone, his voice sincere while his gaze solemn and his question resounding in other people's hearts.
Despite being a wicked path power leader, the Zyrus Family Patriarch exuded a type of reliability and charisma.
Indeed, it did make the leaders squint their brows as they contemplated his words.
Since they were living in the surrounding regions, it was also clear they had their differences, like territorial disputes and many other problems stemming from various interactions.
However, there was one among them who smiled sexily behind her semi-transparent purple veil.
This woman's regal bearing was matched only by the resplendent purple robes that adorned her buxom frame. The luxurious ornaments that graced her garments glittered in the light, a testament to her high status and impeccable taste.
She raised her hand and drew a lightning arc with her frail finger, gathering everyone's attention. With each movement she made, the hem of her robes swished elegantly, trailing behind her like a silken river of deep, rich color. Her beauty was beyond compare as though she was a true exemplar of confidence, elegance, and grace.
"There's one thing you're wrong about."
Her voice resounded with immense charm, causing the hearts of men around her to palpitate, "I'm not participating in the Candidacy to obtain some treasure that wouldn't be of any help to me."
The Zyrus Family Patriarch lightly smiled at her, slightly gesturing with his hand.
"If I'm not wrong, isn't your Blazing Thunder Sect a subordinate power of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan?"
"So what?"
She raised her brows, causing him to purse his lips.
"Aren't you the third inheritor of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan?"
"I am, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be subservient to the clan. I have deemed the risk-to-reward proportion is too high for me to entertain myself with the probability of death."
"..."
Everyone's lips couldn't help but twitch. Her beauty and movements said one thing, but her words said something else, making them think that this the third immortal inheritor of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan was rather cunning and calculative.
"Therefore, you're wrong when you included me with these powers who are in the Candidacy. If anything, I'm in the same situation as your power, the Zyrus Family, Lumin Family, Bloodcloud Family, and other powers who gave gathered here that I have no idea about." She shrugged, looking complacent and arrogant.
The Minn Family and the other powers' brows slightly shook or frowned.
Although they only owned Provinces that were a part of Prefectures, they were still a force to be reckoned with, with one or a few Immortal Emperors at their helm. To easily slight them as though they were a weak power, their impression of the third immortal inheritor of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan couldn't help but fall.
"..."
Meanwhile, Davis blinked as he had his gaze on her.
"What? Did you fall for her?"
Deathseeker hit Davis's arm lightly, causing him to shake his head.
"No, we got a past."
"Past? What past? She's millions of years older than you if we consider the time that has passed in the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley."
"I met- well, I didn't meet her but had an encounter with her recorded voice in a trial she left behind."
"Ah, I see. Still, don't take her lightly. Assassins thought she was an easy target upon her leaving the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan after an altercation, but little did they know that she had full control over the formations in the Blazing Thunder Sect. She made fried meat of everyone present to assassinate her that day."
"Hehe..." Davis couldn't help but laugh, "Not bad... she's good enough to try to fool me."
Deathseeker raised his brows, slightly curious as to what went on between them.
After a slightly awkward pause, the Zyrus Family Patriarch lightly laughed.
"Well, if that's the case, it's also fine."
"It's not fine. This could be an act." The Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch voiced out solemnly.
"I agree." The Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch nodded his head, "It's hard to receive a person's words to be the truth. She could rejoin her clan anytime and subjugate us from within."
"Blazing Thunder Sect's Patriarch. You are present within my Prefecture, and we of the Bloodcloud Family appreciate the good relationship you have with us, so what do you have to say to your founder's words?"
He turned to look at a crimson-purple-robed man who also radiated a powerful aura and was seated beside the third immortal inheritor of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan, asking for his opinion.
However, they were taken aback as they momentarily saw him shaking in his seat.
"Whatever the founder says, this Patriarch will obey..."
His voice even slightly shook, but he raised his face with confidence, appearing to force a smile that made others smile, except they were wondering if this man was afraid of his sect's founder.
"This is ridiculous. If it's going to be like this, then we would never be forming an alliance."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King harrumphed, looking like he had lost his patience and was about to stand up.
"You're wrong as always, Starlight Jade Wolf King."
However, the Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch sneered, "I, the Patriarch of the Cyan Soul Rat Clan, have decided to join this alliance."
"..."
Everyone glanced at the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch. He was that positive about joining this alliance? What's going on?
The Starlight Jade Wolf King narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch.
"What do you mean I'm wrong?"
"You have offended the Earth Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan for a single Divergent brat who's now dead. Where has that left you and your power now?"
The Starlight Jade Wolf King's eyes shook, but the Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch sneered and turned to look at the others.
"Everyone, I strongly suggest that we do not invite them to our alliance, or else, there's a chance that we will make enemies of the Dragon Alliance and the Phoenix Alliance."
"...!"
