274: Rumors? The truth is what benefits us!

Inside Gu Mo Imperial Palace, Mo Emperor listened to Che Hongzhou's narration, a strange look flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure these three kingdoms besieging were not done by those Family Disciples?"

Che Hongzhou nodded: "I dare to guarantee with my life that it was definitely not done by those Family Disciples."

"I went to the scene of the incident, and even I couldn't discern the Tianji there."

"It's obvious that a powerful individual concealed the Tianji."

"This person's skill in the Dao of Tianji is even comparable to that of the Great Priest."

"There is no such person among those noble families."

"However, that Old Ancestor from Tai Shang Sect's Tianji Peak has such a method, but he has no reason to deal with his own people for outsiders."

Mo Emperor smiled: "Interesting, truly interesting."

Che Hongzhou pondered for a moment, then tentatively spoke: "Your Majesty, should we fan the flames and make use of this rumor?"

Mo Emperor's smile deepened: "Rumor?"

"As long as it benefits us, it is the truth!"

Che Hongzhou mulled over Mo Emperor's words for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is brilliant!"

Mo Emperor said: "I'll leave this matter to you. If the person behind the scenes wants to cooperate, you can directly agree."

"Of course, it's impossible to make Gu Liangyuan admit defeat with this, but find a way to delay Yuan Country for as long as possible."

"As long as Chen Country connects with Wei Kingdom one step ahead, Great Chu can be easily breached."

"Without Great Chu as a barrier, what can his Yuan Country rely on to fight us?"

Speaking of this, Mo Emperor stood up and made a fist-clenching gesture: "Eastern Continent, it is already in my grasp!"

Che Hongzhou bowed again: "Your Majesty is sagacious!"

At the same time, those smaller Sects also gathered together.

Inside Qingshan Sect, over a hundred Sect Masters were gathered.

The Qingshan Sect Master, who was in the lead, asked: "What do you all think of this matter?"

The Blood Saber Sect Leader spoke: "I don't know if it's true or false, so I won't comment."

The Black Tiger Sect Master slammed the table and stood up: "What do you mean, you don't know if it's true or false?"

"The facts are laid out here, so what, you're just cowards because Taiyi Holy Land is powerful?"

After the Black Tiger Sect Master's voice fell, an older man in a corner slowly spoke: "Because of my unique Cultivation Technique, this Old Ancestor has lived for over six thousand years, and during that time, I've experienced three Fu Long Courts."

"Fu Long Court has always been the main battlefield for large Sects."

"There are also conflicts among our smaller Sects, with wins and losses on both sides."

"Whenever a Holy Land or a large Sect attacks, surrender is the only option."

"These large Sects have a certain magnanimity and will not wipe everyone out."

"They often take them in and make them vassals of the Holy Land."

"Although they become vassals, they can also gain a territory and it doesn't affect the subsequent development of the Sect."

"In fact, Due Holy Land is doing the same now; Due Holy Master has invited all the kingdoms around Great Wei for talks."

"And the Tai Shang Sect?"

At this point, the old man's tone became agitated: "They wiped out the Disciples of three Sects as soon as they acted, completely severing their roots."

"We can watch the show now, but today's Xuanwei Sect is tomorrow's us!"

"We must unite!"

Everyone listened, remaining silent.

They all understood the old man's unspoken meaning: the truth of the rumor was not important, but preventing the Tai Shang Sect's actions was paramount.

The Qingshan Sect Master, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Although my Qingshan Sect's strength is not comparable to a Holy Land, it does have an Undergoing Tribulation Old Ancestor overseeing it."

"If you all have no objections, my Qingshan Sect is willing to take the lead and, in conjunction with several other large Sects, form an Alliance to jointly resist the Tai Shang Sect!"

The Qingshan Sect Master spoke with great passion, seemingly considering everyone's welfare, but in reality, he had his own agenda.

The power of a Holy Land, to these Sects, was on a completely different level.

One Sect might not be enough, but what if ten, a hundred, or a thousand Sects united?

His Qingshan Sect might just become the next Holy Land!

Listening to the Qingshan Sect Master's words, everyone's expressions were somewhat uncertain.

On one hand, they wanted to resist the Tai Shang Sect, but on the other hand, they feared Gu Liangyuan's fierce reputation.

He was someone who dared to directly confront Mo Emperor.

Could Qingshan Sect succeed?

"My Wenchang Sect is willing to join."

"My Qingwei Sect is also willing!"

"My Beast Taming Sect also joins!"

While these smaller Sects were still contemplating, these larger Sects had already expressed their stances.

As five of the eight top-tier Sects in Eastern Continent had already joined, the other Sects no longer hesitated and also expressed their support.

Below the Four Great Holy Lands of Eastern Continent, there are eight top-tier Sects, and below the top-tier Sects, there are seventy-two first-rate Sects.

After a round of discussions, six top-tier Sects, forty first-rate Sects, along with three hundred smaller Sects, formed an Alliance.

It was named the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance.

Those who didn't join left and immediately headed towards Taiyi Holy Land.

They had already realized that this Fu Long Court was different from any previous one.

For these smaller Sects to survive, they had no choice but to seek help.

It is wise to know one's limitations; these people were clear-headed, knowing that under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for them to rise to prominence.

It was better to directly join the more powerful Dao Alliance, not seeking any benefits, but only hoping to preserve their Legacy during this catastrophe, which would be a blessing.

As the Sect Masters returned to prepare, only the Qingshan Sect Master remained in the Qingshan Sect's main hall.

The space in the shadows twisted, and a black-robed figure appeared out of thin air.

Upon seeing this, the Qingshan Sect Master hurried forward to bow: "Greetings, Lord Wang."

The black-robed figure raised a hand to stop the bowing Qingshan Sect Master: "We are all Family, no need to be so polite."

"You've handled this matter very well. Next, Thousand Doors will also fully cooperate with you."

"The reason Taiyi Holy Land has dominated Eastern Continent for many years is because they have Mo Emperor's support behind them."

"And your Qingshan Sect has the support of Great Lu; after the Fu Long Court, it might even be called Qingshan Holy Land."

Upon hearing the words "Qingshan Holy Land," the Qingshan Sect Master felt somewhat lightheaded.

However, he quickly recovered and humbly said: "All of this is thanks to your Lordship's guidance. I will always remember your Lordship's kindness."

The black-robed figure nodded, then turned and disappeared.

In the Fu Long Court, the Ancient Lü Dynasty had also entered the fray!

The previous attack by the three kingdoms on Great Abyss was a scheme orchestrated by Lü Emperor through Thousand Doors.

Lü Emperor never intended to destroy Great Abyss with this; he understood Gu Liangyuan's ruthlessness, and he was well aware of the 'four no mercy' Sect rules.

He knew that Disciples trained under such rules would definitely eradicate the roots as soon as they acted.

He seized upon this point to incite panic among these smaller Sects, thereby forming an Alliance.

Hatred can unite people, and profit can bind hearts, but panic can still make people unite against an external threat!

Not only these smaller Sects, but in his plan, the Loose Cultivators of Eastern Continent were also to be used by him.

In fact, this scheme had been in motion for three years.

First, he had Thousand Doors create momentum to draw Loose Cultivators into the game.

Then, form an Alliance to draw Loose Cultivators into the Alliance.

Mo Emperor wanted the land of Eastern Continent, and Lü Emperor wanted it too!

In the bet between Mo Emperor and Gu Liangyuan, no matter who gained Eastern Continent, he would find it difficult to intervene in Eastern Continent afterward.

With these four Holy Lands, two families firmly controlled them.

If he wanted to enter the game, he could only start with these smaller Sects and Loose Cultivators.

These people are not prominent when scattered, but if united, they form a great force no less than a Holy Land!

Speaking of it, the idea of establishing an Alliance was something Lü Emperor learned from Gu Liangyuan.

Although it was called the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance, Lü Emperor naturally wouldn't target only Gu Liangyuan.

Instead, he intended to use this force to mediate between Mo Emperor and Gu Liangyuan.

He wanted to be the fisherman who benefits from the struggle between the snipe and the clam!

Lü Emperor acts as the fisherman.

Di Tian also acts as the fisherman, thinking of biting back when Ancient Mo and Tai Shang Sect clash.

Even that Mo Emperor wanted Gu Liangyuan and the Family Disciples to clash, to reap the benefits of a fisherman.

Each faction, with its own calculations!

And all these calculations revolved around Gu Liangyuan.
