"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Blood Shadow Emperor!
That's right, the one who cooperated with the Blood Demon Emperor was the Blood Shadow Emperor, but the Blood Shadow Emperor didn't know that he was cooperating with the Immortal Temple. After all, it was such a secret matter, and the practitioners of the Immortal Temple would not reveal their identities. Even if what the Blood Shadow Emperor did was not that important, it was related to the Immortal Temple's plan, so the Blood Demon Emperor did not dare to be careless.
In the void, Peng Xuan looked at the Blood Shadow Demon Emperor beside him and immediately said, "Palace Master, have they agreed?"
"Agreed!" The Blood Shadow Emperor nodded slightly, but there was no joy or anger on his face, as if this was just a trivial matter.
Perhaps other people don't know what the Blood Shadow Emperor is thinking, but Peng Xuan, who has followed the Blood Shadow Emperor for many years, knows clearly that the calmer the Blood Shadow Emperor is, the more restless the other party is in their heart.
“Palace Master, since they have agreed, then you…” Peng Xuan looked at the Blood Shadow Emperor in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. The other party agreed to increase the reward, isn’t this a good thing
Upon hearing this, Emperor Blood Shadow said calmly, "Don't you think they agreed too quickly? The reward we asked for has increased a lot compared to before. It's really suspicious that they gave it to us so readily."
this…
Hearing this, Peng Xuan fell silent. Originally, the cooperation between the two parties had been finalized long ago, and the remuneration was also agreed upon. However, they raised the price temporarily, and the other party agreed without any bargaining. This was indeed a bit unreasonable.
“Palace Master, then should we…” Peng Xuan said in a deep voice.
No matter how many treasures they have, they are not as important as their own lives. If the other party really has some conspiracy that threatens their lives, this cooperation will naturally terminate.
"Over the years, our Blood Shadow Hall has been suppressed by the Azure Sky Sect. This period of time happens to be the time when the Azure Sky Sect and the nine major cultivation forces are cooperating, and the strength of the Azure Sky Sect will inevitably increase again." The Blood Shadow Emperor sighed softly, and then continued, "On the other hand, our Blood Shadow Hall lost a lot of practitioners when we went to the depths of the Blood Soul Sea this time."
"As one grows stronger, the other declines. The Blue Sky Sect will become stronger and stronger, while our Blood Shadow Palace will only become weaker and weaker. We may not be able to hold on until the next cooperation with the nine major cultivation forces." Blood Shadow Emperor glanced at Peng Xuan, then his eyes fixed and said in a deep voice, "So we have no choice!"
After hearing this, Peng Xuan sighed in his heart. They had too deep a grudge against the Qingkong Sect. Although the Qingkong Sect had a good reputation in the Blood Soul Sea, that was only for practitioners and cultivation forces that had no conflict of interest. The hatred between the Blood Shadow Hall and the Qingkong Sect was not small. Once the Blood Shadow Hall declined and the Qingkong Sect grew stronger, the Blood Shadow Hall would be in danger.
Even though the Blood Shadow Palace doesn't have a very good reputation, it is precisely because of the Blood Shadow Palace that we have the Blood Shadow Emperor today. It is impossible for the Blood Shadow Emperor to watch the Blood Shadow Palace decline.
"So, Palace Master, even though you knew that the origins of those practitioners were not simple, you still agreed to cooperate with them?" Peng Xuan looked at the Blood Shadow Emperor and said.
"good!"
Emperor Blood Shadow nodded slightly, and then said, "They came to us because they saw the predicament of our Blood Shadow Palace. Otherwise, if it were just the agreed matters, any of the top cultivation forces in the Blood Soul Sea could do it, and there would be no need to come to our Blood Shadow Palace."
The cooperation between the Immortal Temple and the Blood Shadow Palace is not a difficult task for a cultivation force of the Blood Shadow Palace's level. The same can be done if it is replaced by several other cultivation forces. Why did the other party choose the Blood Shadow Palace
It was because they knew that the Blood Shadow Hall was in decline, and they could not refuse the reward offered by the Immortal Temple. Even though they knew that the other party did so for other purposes, they had no choice but to agree.
Thinking of this, Emperor Blood Shadow sighed slightly in his heart, and then said in a deep voice, "Everything will proceed according to the original plan, but we cannot be without any defense."
"yes!"
Peng Xuan nodded slightly. Since they had no choice, they could only go ahead. However, they also had to make some preparations in advance to prevent any accidents.
How could a top cultivation force that has been able to exist in the Blood Soul Sea for countless years easily trust a collaborator of unknown origin? The Blood Shadow Emperor would naturally not be stupid enough to trust the cultivators of the Immortal Temple 100%.
Yang Qi and the others naturally did not know about the cooperation between the Blood Shadow Palace and the Immortal Temple. At this time, Yang Qi and his group had already met up with Meng Xuan and the others who had rushed over. So far, all the practitioners of the Qingkong Sect who had entered the depths of the Blood Soul Sea had gathered together.
Tian Song and his companions had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle. After Tian Song and his companions recovered, they set out again, exploring in the direction of Baizhuan Lake while getting along with Tian Song and his companions who had just joined them.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by. Emperor Qingzhi contacted the nine major cultivation forces, and after agreeing on the meeting place and time, everyone set out towards Baizhuan Lake.
The so-called meeting place was actually just outside Baizhuan Lake. Yang Qi and others were not far from Baizhuan Lake, so they quickly arrived near Baizhuan Lake.
However, Yang Qi and others did not go directly to the meeting point. After all, it was not the agreed time yet, and they could still explore around Baizhuan Lake.
"In another day, practitioners from the nine major cultivation forces will arrive, and then we will head to Baizhuan Lake." Emperor Qingzhi said this, and his eyes swept over everyone present, and then he continued, "Everyone knows that after Brother Liu and the other six join, we will be divided into two teams, so before entering Baizhuan Lake, we need to decide on the two candidates."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the practitioners, including Yang Qi and the other six, became more solemn.
After all, the assigned team is the team that everyone has in Baizhuan Lake. You must know that the environment in Baizhuan Lake is constantly changing, and even if there are two adjacent passages, it may not be possible to reach them in a short time. Therefore, in Baizhuan Lake, most of the time, the practitioners can only rely on themselves, so the allocation of team members is crucial.
"After this period of adjustment, I have decided on the personnel arrangements for the two teams." Emperor Qingzhi's eyes fell on Yang Qi and the other six, and then continued, "Brother Liu and the other six will be arranged in one team. In addition, Meng Xuan, Tian Song..."
After Yang Qi and six others joined the Qingkong Sect, the number of practitioners on both sides reached twenty-seven. Therefore, when allocating the number of people, Emperor Qingzhi arranged for eight people to join Yang Qi and six others. Five of them were from Meng Xuan's team, and the other three were from Tian Song's side.
Meng Xuan's team originally had eight people. The three who were selected were the weakest practitioners in Meng Xuan's team. In addition to Tian Song, a four-star Martial Emperor at the peak of his level, there were also two four-star Martial Emperors at the late stage of their level.
