Chapter 1151: Chapter 563: Ghost Temple’s Defection

“However, your Xuanbing Pavilion wanting to borrow the power of our Ghost Temple is not such an easy matter.”

“You need to pay a significant price.”

Hearing the words of the Ghost Temple envoy, the young man in white felt his heart sink immediately.

He knew that the envoy from the Ghost Temple was not an easy character, and to gain their support would require a tremendous price.

However, the current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate, and he could only brace himself to say, “Honorable envoy, as long as you are willing to lend your aid to our Xuanbing Pavilion, we are willing to pay any price!”

Hearing the young man’s words, the envoy from the Ghost Temple immediately chuckled.

“Very well, since your Xuanbing Pavilion is so sincere, I will agree to ally with you for a trial.”

“However, remember this well, Ghost Temple is not to be trifled with. If you dare betray us, the consequences will be unbearable!”

Hearing the envoy’s words, the young man in white felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he promptly replied, “Rest assured, honorable envoy, Xuanbing Pavilion will never do anything to betray the Ghost Temple!”

“Very good.”

The envoy from the Ghost Temple nodded, and then turned to leave.

Watching the envoy’s departing figure, the young man in white couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew their Xuanbing Pavilion was temporarily safe, but he also understood that they would never truly find peace with the Ghost Temple.

…

In the mysterious ancient palace, Tianmen World.

“Master, the people from Xuanbing Pavilion have already joined forces with the envoy from the Ghost Temple.”

Qi Tian spoke, a trace of solemnity on his face.

“Hmm, I already know.”

Mo Wenjian calmly said, “The envoy from the Ghost Temple is not a simple figure; their cooperation might not go as smoothly.”

“Moreover, the people from Luo Family of Qingshi City and Liang Family of Heiwu City are not easy to deal with either.”

“We need to be more cautious moving forward.”

Hearing his master’s words, Qi Tian couldn’t help but feel a sense of heaviness in his heart.

He knew that this time’s situation was likely more complicated than they had previously imagined.

Yet, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and face the challenges head-on.

“Yes, disciple understands.”

Qi Tian replied, then quietly withdrew.

…

In the mysterious ancient palace, Tianmen World.

“Hahaha, how amusing, the people from Xuanbing Pavilion actually want to use our Ghost Temple’s power to deal with the Luo Family of Qingshi City and Liang Family of Heiwu City. They do have quite the plan.”

At this moment, deep within the palace, stood a mysterious figure in a black robe, wearing a ghost mask. His voice was full of mockery and disdain.

“The people from Xuanbing Pavilion may have some cunning, but they have no choice but to cooperate with us, because they simply have no other options.”

A man in black clothing, with a cold demeanor, spoke, his voice tinged with indifference.

“Indeed, there’s nothing wrong with what you said.”

“Currently, the people from the Liang Family of Heiwu City and the Luo Family of Qingshi City are present.”

“And the Xuanbing Pavilion is utterly isolated.”

“Now, aside from seeking help from our Ghost Temple, it seems they truly have no other path to take.”

As they continued speaking.

The several envoys donned in black from the Ghost Temple slowly shifted their gaze towards the members of the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Liang Family of Heiwu City not far away.

They seemed to be contemplating… the pros and cons of the situation.

Meanwhile, standing not far away, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family of Qingshi City, had also sensed something was amiss.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the person beside him from the Liang Family of Heiwu City, and said, “I believe we should quickly deal with the people from Xuanbing Pavilion; otherwise, there might be unforeseen changes if we delay…”

The head of the Liang Family nodded slightly, realizing that the current situation was not favorable to them.

If they continued to delay, if Xuanbing Pavilion indeed reached some agreement with the Ghost Temple, their situation would become extremely disadvantageous.

“Brother Luo is right, we should act swiftly.” The head of the Liang Family said in a deep voice, his eyes showing a glimmer of decisiveness.

However, just as they were about to take action, the envoys from the Ghost Temple suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, truth be told, whether it’s cooperating with the Luo Family of Qingshi City or with your Xuanbing Pavilion, it makes little difference to our Ghost Temple.”

“Nevertheless, since you Xuanbing Pavilion are in such a state, wouldn’t it be a pity if our Ghost Temple didn’t lend you a hand?”

One of the envoys spoke, his voice filled with mockery and derision.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping and the head of the Liang Family felt their hearts sink immediately.

They were well aware that the envoys from the Ghost Temple were not easy characters, and if they truly wanted to deal with them, it certainly wouldn’t be a difficult task.

Next, things were likely to get a bit troublesome.

Xuanbing Pavilion, on the other hand, was still manageable.

But this mysterious Ghost Temple… was the primary source of Luo Ping’s worries.

“Honored envoys, must it be so?”

“We previously agreed on mutual cooperation.”
