Chapter 1150: Chapter 562: The Struggle of Xuanbing Pavilion_2

“Yes, disciple understands.”

Qi Tian responded, then silently retreated.

…

Tianmen World, within a mysterious and incomparably ancient palace.

The young man in white from Xuanbing Pavilion was currently standing on an open ground, his face somewhat pale. Clearly, Qi Tian’s refusal left him feeling a bit desperate.

“Pavilion Master, the Qi Family has already refused our request.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in black entered, his face carrying a hint of seriousness.

“Refused?”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the young man’s face instantly turned grim.

“Yes, the Qi Family has made it clear that they won’t assist us.”

The middle-aged man spoke again, a trace of bitterness in his voice.

“What should we do now?”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the young man’s face grew even grimmer.

Though the strength of Xuanbing Pavilion was not weak, compared to the Luo Family of Qingshi City, it was still quite lacking.

Moreover, alongside the Luo Family were the people from the Liang Family of Heiwu City and the emissaries from the Ghost Temple.

If they couldn’t get help from the Qi Family, their Xuanbing Pavilion would indeed be in real danger.

“Pavilion Master, what should we do now?”

The young man asked again.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said, “All we can do now is wait and see.”

“Wait and see?”

Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly, and unwillingly said, “Do we just stand by and watch as Xuanbing Pavilion falls into crisis?”

“We don’t have any other choices right now.”

The middle-aged man said, “The Qi Family and the Luo Family of Qingshi City are in league with each other; how could they possibly help us?”

“Moreover, we’ve offended the Qi Family before; even if they wanted to help, they would hesitate.”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the young man fell silent.

He was aware that the Qi Family had a deep relationship with the Luo Family of Qingshi City, and asking for help from the Qi Family was indeed quite unlikely.

However, he was unwilling to just watch as Xuanbing Pavilion fell into crisis.

“Perhaps we could try to approach the emissaries from the Ghost Temple.”

At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke again.

“The emissaries of the Ghost Temple?”

Hearing this, the young man frowned and then asked, “Are you suggesting that we try to ally with the emissaries of the Ghost Temple?”

“Exactly.”

The middle-aged man nodded, then said, “The emissaries of the Ghost Temple are incredibly powerful; if we can turn them to our side and join forces, we might change the current situation.”

“But those emissaries of the Ghost Temple are not to be trusted. What if they turn on us later?”

The young man asked worriedly.

“At this point, we have no choice but to take one step at a time.”

The middle-aged man said, “Though the emissaries of the Ghost Temple are strong, Xuanbing Pavilion is no pushover. If they dare to attack us, we will fight to the death.”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the young man was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He knew that the current situation didn’t allow him to hesitate any longer, and he had to choose to trust the middle-aged man and hope for an alliance with the emissaries of the Ghost Temple.

…

Tianmen World, inside the ancient, mysterious palace.

Qi Tian and Mo Wenjian stood at a distance, gazing at the horizon, lost in thought.

“Master, what do you think the Pavilion Master of Xuanbing Pavilion will choose?”

After a moment of silence, Qi Tian spoke, breaking the silence between them.

“The Pavilion Master of Xuanbing Pavilion is not impulsive, he’ll make the right choice.”

Mo Wenjian said indifferently, “Also, Xuanbing Pavilion and the Luo Family of Qingshi City are natural enemies; it makes sense for them to join forces against the Luo Family.”

“However, the emissaries of the Ghost Temple are an unpredictable factor.”

“The emissaries of the Ghost Temple are incredibly powerful, and their true intentions are unknown. We must be cautious.”

Qi Tian said, a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

“Don’t worry, though the emissaries of the Ghost Temple are strong, taking on our Qi Family won’t be easy.”

Mo Wenjian said, “Moreover, we have allies who won’t stand idly by.”

“Furthermore, our Qi Family is also no pushover; if they dare to attack us, we will fight to the death.”

Hearing his master’s words, Qi Tian felt slightly relieved.

“Master, disciple understands.”

Qi Tian said, then silently retreated.

…

Tianmen World, within the ancient mystical palace.

The young man in white and the middle-aged man in black were standing silently, facing a mysterious figure in a black robe with a ghost mask.

It was the emissary of the Ghost Temple.

“Emissary, Xuanbing Pavilion is willing to ally with you. All subsequent profits will belong to the Ghost Temple, as long as the Ghost Temple assists us in overcoming the current difficulties and dealing with the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Liang Family of Heiwu City.”

The young man in white spoke, his voice respectful.

“Oh? You’re willing to join forces with us?”

Hearing the young man’s words, the emissary of the Ghost Temple showed interest, his voice playful.

“Yes, we are willing to ally with you.”

The young man in white spoke again.

“How interesting…”

The emissary continued, seemingly unconcerned with the subtle changes on the faces of Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family of Qingshi City, and the crowd from the Liang Family of Heiwu City.

“Xuanbing Pavilion really knows how to play their cards.”

The emissary said slowly, with a teasing tone, as though dismissing the presence of Luo Ping and the Liang Family members.

“Emissary, we did this out of necessity.”

The young man in white said, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

“Out of necessity? Haha, what a necessity!”

The emissary suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with mockery and teasing.

“Xuanbing Pavilion is quite clever, trying to use our Ghost Temple to eliminate the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Liang Family of Heiwu City, and then leveraging our strength to elevate their own status. Quite the plan!”

Hearing the emissary’s words, the young man’s face immediately turned grim.

He knew their intentions had been seen through by the emissary, but he had no other options.

Because compared to the Ghost Temple, their power was far too insufficient.

They truly had no other choice.

“Emissary, we are doing this out of desperation. Our strength compared to the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Liang Family of Heiwu City is just too far behind. We have no chance if we don’t seek external assistance.”

The young man in white said, his voice pleading.

“Seeking external assistance? Xuanbing Pavilion is really something.”

The emissary spoke again, his voice filled with mockery and ridicule.
