Chapter 1415: Alliance
“That day after our group entered Demon Abyss, although they encountered frequent dangers at first, the journey was still smooth. However, more than half a year later, an astonishing phenomenon suddenly appeared in the direction of the Inner Abyss. Some kind of rare treasure seemed to be revealed soon. So after discussing with Elder Kuizhao, we decided to go to the Inner Abyss to find out. As far as I know, the 4 great families at that time, including the Liu Family, all entered the Inner Abyss one after another.” Huangfu Yupo said slowly.
“Inner Abyss!”
Gaohe Rui and Kongxiang Wu were shocked, then they remembered something and looked at the golden-robed young woman behind the Long Family Master.
“Yes, as Elder Yupo said, I couldn’t resist the temptation at that time and led my people into the Inner Abyss, during which I met Elder Yupo. However, it was too dangerous there, so I quickly retreated with my tribe.” The golden-robed young woman said.
When Gaohe Yan and Kongxiang Wu heard this, a strange look flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they did not fully believe the golden-robed young woman’s words. After all, they also knew the danger of the Inner Abyss. If one wasn’t fully prepared, it was basically suicide to go in there.
“Inner Abyss is extremely dangerous. Although Elder Kuizhao and I tried our best to protect our people, we still suffered heavy losses. But that was not all. We unexpectedly encountered the Liu Family in the end. After a big battle, Liu Zongyang somehow summoned an extremely powerful golden demon corpse, which defeated us. In order to save me, Elder Kuizhao was killed by the golden demon corpse. In the end, I was the only one who escaped by chance. I couldn’t stay in this Inner Abyss for a long time. Long, but I saw some things…” Huangfu Yupo continued, but when she mentioned Huangfu Kuizhao, her expression became a little sad.
Kongxiang Wu and Gaohe Rui looked intent, knowing that the following would be the key story.
“You might not trust my words, but please take a look at this thing.” Huangfu Yupo took out 2 pieces of purple jade talisman and activated them with purple light.
The purple jade talismans flew out and turned into 2 cl.u.s.ters of water light in front of Kongxiang Wu and Gaohe Rui. Some images gradually appeared on the water light.
Kongxiang Wu, Gaohe Rui and the other 2 took a few glances at the image, and they were astounded.
In the water in front of Gaohe Rui. It was the situation when Gaohe Yan and his group were attacked by the tentacles of the Shadowroot giant tree outside Demon Abyss Tower.
In the water light in front of Kongxiang Wu was the scene of the Gaohe Family being ganged up by Liu Zongyang and the golden demon corpse.
The Long Family Master’s flickered after seeing this, then he glanced at Huangfu Yong.
Huangfu Yong seemed to sense his gaze, and he looked over too. They exchanged glances quickly and looked away as if nothing had happened.
The images recorded on the water light were not long.
Kongxiang Wu’s face became extremely ugly. The scene of Liu Zongyang and the golden demon corpse killing Kongxiang Xu and other Kongxiang Family’s disciples was shown at the end.
“Liu Family…” Kongxiang Wu said these 2 words with a gloomy face.
Kongxiang Wu did not doubt if this was a forged image by the Huangfu Family.
This water light was the water mirror technique, which was used to save and record some scenes.
With his cultivation and eyesight, if the Huangfu Family tried to cheat, he would never miss it.
Gaohe Rui on the other side also frowned. At the end of the water-glow scene, all the Celestial State members of the Gaohe Family were killed by Shadowroot tentacles, but Gaohe Yan escaped.
“Elder Huangfu. Did you perform this water mirror technique yourself?” Gaohe Rui frowned and asked Huangfu Yupo.
“Yes, but I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect myself at that time, so I couldn’t help Mr. Yan. As for what happened to Mr. Yan after that, I have no clue. But judging from the direction of his escape, I’m afraid he was already dead.” Huangfu Yupo said apologetically.
Gaohe Rui’s face turned grim, and he didn’t ask any further questions.
Huangfu Yupo bowed to the 2 family masters and walked behind Huangfu Yong.
“I should have informed the 2 family masters of these things that happened in Demon Abyss immediately. However, Elder Yupo was seriously injured in the secret realm. After returning, she immediately went into seclusion to cultivate, so it was delayed to this time.” Huangfu Yong’s tone was somewhat apologetic.
“During the trip to Demon Abyss, my family members disappeared for no reason. Now that I know how Elder Xu and the others died, I’m very grateful.” Kongxiang Wu cupped his fist and bowed to Huangfu Yong.
“Brother Kongxiang, there is no need to be polite. The Liu Family is viciously ambitious. They plotted against our 2 families. Even our Elder Kuizhao died in their hands. We must revenge this blood feud.” Huangfu Yong said in a deep voice.
The thoughts in Kongxiang Wu’s mind were spinning. Huangfu Yong was obviously hooking him to form an alliance. The Kongxiang Family had no intention of intervening in the fight between the Central Imperial and the Liu Family, but now the Liu Family actually killed Kongxiang Xu. How could they not revenge?
“The Kongxiang Family is willing to obey Sir Demon Emperor’s orders.” Kongxiang Wu pondered for a moment and said sonorously.
“Great! With Brother Kongxiang’s help, I believe the Liu Family’s rebellion will be quelled soon.” Huangfu Yong said with great joy.
Seeing this, Gaohe Rui’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
“I summoned everyone here today. One thing is to reveal the Demon Abyss matter to Brother Kongxiang and Brother Gaohe. The other thing is about the Liu Family rebellion.” Huangfu Yong glanced at Gaohe Rui and said in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, the attention of everyone present was immediately attracted.
“The Liu Family has been rebelling for more than 10 years. However, due to some reasons, my Huangfu Family has not been able to quell the rebellion. However, there is no problem now. I have ordered my 6 legions to be deployed to the front line. After the ceremony is over, we will immediately do our best to quell the rebellion.” Huangfu Yong paused a little and continued to speak in a deep voice.
Gaohe Rui, Kongxiang Wu, and the Long Family Master also had different expressions upon hearing it.
Gaohe Rui’s eyes flickered; Kongxiang Wu’s face moved slightly, then he nodded slowly; As for the Long family master, his expression was very calm throughout the entire meeting as if he already knew about this.
“In order to speed up the progress, I have decided to establish an alliance that includes various big families while they are at the ceremony to quell the rebellion.” Huangfu Yong revealed a big news.
Kongxiang Wu and Long Family Master weren’t surprised much; only Gaohe Rui’s expression changed slightly.
The fierce battle between the Central Imperial and the Liu Family continued to this day, because they were just fighting with their own forces. Since the Central Imperial had not forcibly recruited other aristocratic families to help. The other large aristocratic families still submitted to the Huangfu Family on the surface, but most of them did nothing substantial. At most, they just gathered some small and medium-sized families to support the Huangfu Family.
Huangfu Yong’s move today was determined to defeat the Liu Family as soon as possible.
“Brother Long has arrived in Imperial City a few days ago. I have told him about this proposal, and he has also agreed to join the alliance.” After Huangfu Yong said this, he turned to look at the Long Family Master.
Gaohe Rui and Kongxiang Wu also looked over.
Long Yi smiled and nodded.
“Brother Kongxiang, what do you think about this move?” Huangfu Yong showed satisfaction on his face, then looked at Kongxiang Wu and asked.
“Our Kongxiang Family is also willing to join the alliance and a.s.sist Sir Demon Emperor in putting down the Liu Family’s rebellion.” Kongxiang Wu said immediately without hesitation.
“Okay, Brother Kongxiang really understands the righteousness. Thank you.” Huangfu Yong nodded and cupped his fist.
Huangfu Yong said, finally looking toward Gaohe Rui.
“We, the Gaohe Family, are also willing to join the alliance.” Gaohe Rui said without waiting for Huangfu Yong to ask.
Among the 4 great families, 2 had already sided with the Central Imperial. The Liu Family’s defeat had been predetermined. Gaohe Rui would naturally notice this situation clearly.
“Haha, great. Since all 3 of your families are willing to join the coalition, the Liu Family won’t have anything to worry about.” Huangfu Yong was overjoyed, stroking his hands and laughing.
In recent years, the entire Huangfu Family had lost 3 Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses and several Celestial State powerhouses, which could be described as a heavy loss.
However, under Ku Xin’s plan, he finally took advantage of the situation to win over these three wealthy families to his side. Although he didn’t know how much effort these 3 families would be willing to contribute in the subsequent battle with the Liu Family, as long as they stood on the Huangfu Family’s side, the Huangfu Family would have absolute confidence in dealing with the Liu Family.
Due to the alliance between 3 great families, the atmosphere in the hall became much more harmonious.
“Sir Demon Emperor, regarding the specific details of the alliance, do you have a plan yet?” Kongxiang Wu asked with a relaxed expression.
“Even if Brother Kongxiang doesn’t ask about this, I will tell you all.” Huangfu Yong was in a good mood. As he spoke, he glanced at Huangfu Zhantian beside him.
Huangfu Zhantian understood and launched 3 jade slips toward the 3 family masters.
…
The talks in the main hall lasted for more than an hour before ending. After the 3 family masters left, only Huangfu Yong and the other 2 people were left in the hall.
The talks just now were generally quite harmonious. The basic structure of the alliance had been discussed. Gaohe Rui and the other 2 had agreed that each of their families would dispatch the combat force equivalent to 2 legions to the battlefield.
Only when it came to the distribution of spoils, the 3 families were a bit greedy, but Huangfu Yong basically agreed to it.
In fact, the alliance proposed by Huangfu Yong was said to unite all the families, but his main purpose was to win over the 3 great families of Gaohe, Kongxiang and Long.
As long as the 3 great families stood on the same front as the Central Imperial, the Liu Family was basically doomed to fail. As for the other families, they were only secondary.
“You 2 have worked hard today. You can take some rest first.” Huangfu Yong said.
Huangfu Yupo and Huangfu Yupo hesitated for a moment, bowed to Huangfu Yong, and then left.
The two were walking side by side on a long corridor. There was no one around. Only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
