LRAB 917. The Alliance Begins
917. The Alliance Begins
"If we can gain their support, then we will have the theoretical strength to rival the three great families descended from the Dou Di. A fundamental principle of our alliance is to seek allies, not to become vassals."
Upon hearing Xiao Yixian's words, the other four nodded in agreement. An alliance was imperative, but that was precisely why they were even more unwilling to be taken advantage of in their misfortune.
"But the three of them also have their own problems," Xiao Yan added from the side. "According to Wei Jiangyuan, Elder Shennong already had a very good relationship with the Medicine Clan. Under the current circumstances, it wouldn't be a problem for him to offer us more help. But whether he is truly willing to stand with us is another matter."
"The relationship with Ancestor Danta is relatively good, but he was also injured in the Spirit Clan War that day and is currently in seclusion, so he is most likely not fully recovered yet."
Elder Yao followed up, saying, "What's even more troublesome is that once the Pill Tower Ancestor truly appears, he himself will likely attract covetousness. Having him as the leader isn't quite enough."
"What the teacher said is also something we must pay attention to."
"As for the patriarch of the Yan clan, he was also seriously injured after the fierce battle with the Soul clan, and the extent of his injuries is still unknown."
Xiao Yan was also very clear about this information. If the situation of the Yan Clan Chief had not been so urgent, Huo Zhen would not have been in such a hurry to refine the ninth-grade pill.
Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath, as if planning something in her mind: "Therefore, we should treat the three of them differently."
"Continuing from what I just said, the third type of force is the Thunder Clan, the Medicine Clan, and the Stone Clan. These three clans are the descendants of the Dou Di who still exist today and whose combat strength remains relatively good."
"They want to form an alliance with us through encroachment, but they also have their own troubles. According to Xiao Yan, if the ultimate goal of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan is the opportunity to become a Dou Di, then these three families descended from Dou Di are actually in big trouble now. We only have conflicts with the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, so they may not necessarily target us first."
"Therefore, as long as we have sufficient strength and clarify the interests with the other three races, we may be able to form an alliance in a relatively peaceful way."
Little Fairy Doctor then revealed a smile that said everything was under control. Through these days of communication, the three races, led by the Thunder Clan, had revealed some of their weaknesses.
"After all, to put it bluntly, they are the ones in big trouble now! The reason we are now hostile to the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan is simply because we are unwilling to compromise."
At this point, Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan. Judging from the current situation, if Xiao Yan were willing to submit to the ancient clans, using Xun'er's identity, he could very likely achieve a relatively satisfactory outcome.
However, given Xiao Yan's personality, there is no way he would agree to this choice.
Of course, this is also what Fairy Doctor appreciates, so she will do everything she can to help Xiao Yan.
The old apothecary pondered, "Then we must be even more careful now, as it's easier to make mistakes when we're in a hurry."
"The teacher is right, but we really need to get moving now. At least we need to find a way to contact the second type of force we just met."
Little Fairy Doctor then took out a map of Zhongzhou, and two points appeared on the map one after the other.
"My suggestion is to tackle the difficult issues first, then move on to the easier ones. Right now, we need to focus on winning over the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Flower Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng laughed without any restraint: "I don't know about the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, but the Flower Sect has a ready-made suitable candidate, hahahaha!"
……
Inside Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan's new room, Xiao Yi Xian was nestled in Xiao Yan's arms: "You just got back, and haven't even had a proper rest for a few days before you have to set off again."
The two clasped their hands together, and Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yixian's jade-like hands, his tone very calm: "This is my fate. If you really let me have some free time, I'll feel a little uneasy."
"However, the Flower Sect is famous for its abundance of beauties. Perhaps if our young master goes there, there will be a very exciting story to tell," Little Fairy Doctor teased.
Now that she's a mother and has power under her own control, Little Fairy Doctor usually presents herself as impeccable and meticulous in every aspect. Only when she's with Xiao Yan does she occasionally show this girlish side.
"You know me, I'm already overwhelmed enough, how could I possibly have the energy for that?"
Xiao Yan then realized that he absolutely could not linger on this topic, so he took out the storage ring that Ling Feng had given him from the sky.
"There is a tradition here. If you have time, could you find a suitable young person to carry it on?"
Looking at the storage ring, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up with interest, and she asked, "Inheritance? Whose?"
"A...respectable figure!" Xiao Yan thought for a while and finally gave a very fair evaluation.
Although they were enemies, Xiao Yan didn't dislike Ling Fengzhui; on the contrary, he admired him to some extent.
"I have personally examined these heritages, and they are resources that are absolutely unattainable for ordinary people. I even find one or two of them to be of great benefit to me."
Hearing Xiao Yan's evaluation, Little Fairy Doctor raised an eyebrow, already understanding: "Such a high evaluation, then I understand. I will carefully select an elite disciple from the sect to inherit it."
I trust you to do things right.
Not long after their tender moment, a slightly excited voice rang out from outside the door: "Senior brother, I'm ready, how about you!"
Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance and then smiled knowingly. After Xiao Yan went outside, he saw a somewhat excited Yao Qingyu and asked, "Qingyu, is Teacher ready?"
"Alright, alright, we've been waiting for you!"
Then, seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was also there, Yao Qingyu explained somewhat apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to disturb you..."
Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor just smiled without caring at all.
Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and Yao Qingyu—this was the team she ultimately decided to send to the Flower Sect to negotiate an alliance. The reason for choosing Yao Qingyu was simple: she came from the Flower Sect and was a disciple of Hua Xianzi, the true power holder of the Flower Sect. Her presence would naturally save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
If Elder Yao were to go, the reason would be even simpler. In the words of Venerable Feng, only if Elder Yao went in person would the Flower Sect have no chance of refusing.
Moreover, as a disciple, Xiao Yan could see that his teacher had some expectations for going to the Flower Sect, and was not completely opposed to it.
As for Xiao Yan, his visit to the Flower Sect was more of a public appearance. After all, Xiao Yan's current status is extremely important, and if he were to attend in person, the Flower Sect would feel that he was being valued even more.
