Chapter 323: Forming an Alliance
“It’s indeed inappropriate, but now, do any of you have a better idea?
“Time is crucial. Before tomorrow, we must find 20 people to defend the formation. Otherwise, we won’t even have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate.
“Moreover, to put it bluntly, we have only obtained one victory. In the eyes of Wei Baishou and Wei Baizhuo, it is obvious that Wei Baishou is the greater threat. Behind him is the Central Plains Sect Alliance. If Wei Baizhuo wins first place in the first stage… Even if he was slightly weaker in the second stage, his overall evaluation would definitely be stronger than Wei Bailiang and Wei Baizhuo, who were eliminated in the first round.
“Therefore, our only hope now is to place our hopes on the two of them. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes.”
Wei Zihan was not someone who did not know how to be flexible. Moreover, those people had submitted to her brother only because her brother had a greater chance of winning. They were just a bunch of fence-sitters.
“Young master, do you already have a plan?”
“Yes… Wei Bailiang has four top twenty experts from the arena compet.i.tion ten years ago. Wei Baizhuo has even more experts under him. There are about ten people who are qualified, and there’ll still be one missing person. If we really have no choice, Lian Hua will join us.”
Victor turned around, and Lian Hua walked out of the room.
“I don’t mind. It’s just that with my spiritual pedestal realm strength, let alone defending the formation, even protecting my life will be a problem.”
Before this, Victor had already explained to Lian Hua that it was possible for her to need to partic.i.p.ate in the formation defense. Lian Hua did not reject him.
Although her strength was slightly weaker, she had the advantage of being mysterious. She was able to understand the other party’s thoughts and turn misfortune into luck.
Moreover, by explaining, Victor could also lend her the Purple Micro Divine Sword and temporarily let the sword spirit possess the sword to lend a hand.
Just that the unexpected guest had interrupted Victor’s plan.
“I can come and defend for a while.”
As she spoke, Chang An had unknowingly arrived at Wei Zihan’s residence.
“Chang An?”
“That’s me.”
“Did the city lord send you here?”
“Of course not. No one under the city lord’s command is allowed to interfere. This is a rule.”
“Then what are you doing?”
“So, I have resigned from my duty as a city protector. I hope to join Miss Wei Zihan’s camp.”
Hearing this, Victor instantly understood that this was probably Wei Heng’s order.
The city lord was well aware of Wei Zihan’s predicament, so he let Chang An join Wei Zihan’s command.
Although the excuse was a bit low-level, no one could say anything.
“That’s for the best. With your half-step nascent soul realm strength, it’s a huge a.s.surance.”
“Actually, conversely, you should be more concerned about charging.”
“Lin Bei, the city lord asked me to tell you that this time, the 20 people guarding the formation were all brought by Wei Baishou from the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Without exception, they are all half-step nascent soul realm experts. Even I am not even a match for some of them. If we really have no choice… you can leave the changing to me.”
This was also one of the reasons why Chang An came here.
Ultimately, Victor was still in the early stage of the core formation realm. It was inevitable that he would find it difficult to face 20 half-step nascent soul experts.
“I appreciate brother Chang An’s kindness. Don’t worry, it’s just 20 of them, is it worth mentioning?
Victor chuckled, his tone full of disdain.
“How confident are you?”
“Not that confident, just 99%.”
..
“Young master.”
“Master, you’re back.”
In Wei Bailiang’s residence, his face was pale, as if his failure during the day had greatly impacted him.
“Young master, I went to look for that person.”
Hearing this, Wei Bailiang’s expression was a little ugly, but when he thought about the fact that Ming Hui had the freedom to go anywhere, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
“What did he say?”
“He said that he wants to make a deal with you.”
“Deal? Hehe, I heard that tomorrow’s compet.i.tion will require charging into the opponent’s formation. He needs to send 20 people to defend the formation. Let me guess, the deal he said might be related to this?”
“Young master is smart.”
“Master, do you think that I should help him?”
Wei Bailiang still trusted Ming Hui very much. Therefore, he would often ask Ming Hui for his opinion.
“No matter what young master says, this poor monk has decided to give him a hand.”
“Why?”
“Fate.”
Wei Bailiang knew that Buddhism seemed to value fate very much. Since Ming Hui had given him such an answer, he could not say anything.
However, the question was, should he agree?
Wei Bailiang wanted to refuse.
After all, he could see Wei Zihan’s defeated expression.
However, on second thought, if Wei Baishou won, it would pose a greater threat to him. After all, the Central Plains Sect Alliance was a force that was a hundred times stronger than Thunder Cliff!
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Wei Bailiang decided to listen to Victor’s conditions first.
Not long after, Ming Hui returned to Wei Zihan’s residence. After informing him of Wei Bailiang’s intentions, she brought Victor back with him.
“Young master, you have good tactics. You were able to kill my subordinates instantly. Your strength is probably comparable to that of a nascent soul realm cultivator.”
“Third young master, you are exaggerating. It was just a trick. A straightforward person wouldn’t beat around the bush. Since I’m here, does this mean that third young master is very interested in my plan?”
“I can indeed agree to your terms, but what are the conditions? What can you give me?”
Wei Bailiang did not think that Victor had anything that could move him. As the city lord of White Dragon City and the saintess of Thunder Cliff’s son, Wei Bailiang had been pampered since he was a child. He had seen all kinds of treasures.
Wei Bailiang never lacked any kinds of beauties and magical artifacts. Therefore, he was very curious about Victor’s confidence.
“I can promise the third young master that in the future, no matter who inherits the position of the city lord, I can guarantee the third young master’s safety.”
“Hehe, what a joke! Master Ming Hui, send the guest out!”
What did Victor mean?
Wasn’t he implying that he, Wei Bailiang, could not inherit the position of the city lord?
However, thinking about it carefully, his chance was indeed not high. That was why his disappointing younger brother chose to withdraw from the compet.i.tion this time.
After all, if he wanted to live, he could only choose to be a wealthy man and not think about other nonsense.
However, it was obvious that Wei Bailiang was the kind of person who would never give up.
“Do you think that you can convince me with just this promise?”
“Isn’t it enough?”
“Wealth is precious, but the price of life is even higher.”
Hearing this, the smile on Wei Bailiang’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a solemn look.
Wei Bailiang understood Victor’s meaning. If he lost, Wei Baishou would win. Victor could protect Wei Zihan and the others from being killed, but he could not stop Wei Bailiang from doing so, and neither could his subordinates!
“I promise you, you can choose four people at will, along with Master Ming Hui. You can leave now.
“However, I hope that when the time comes, young master will not forget his promise.”
