Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1561 Alliance

Long Yi invited everyone into the main hall and had tea served. The Dean got straight to the point: "Sect Leader, we received news that those Four Great Sects are planning something major, and we worry they might attack the Great Might Dragon Gate. That’s why I immediately gathered people to come and assist. Unfortunately, we were still late, and the Great Might Dragon Gate suffered damage!"

"It’s nothing!" Long Yi waved his hand: "It’s just some injuries. Luckily, Alliance Leader Su is here, and the elixirs he provided are enough to heal the injured!"

"That’s good!" The Dean nodded and then frowned: "When we were on our way here, we encountered people from the Four Great Sects. We originally wanted to capture them, but the Law Enforcers stopped us, allowing the people from those Four Great Sects to escape!"

"Law Enforcers?" Long Yi was surprised: "The ones from the Four Great Sects are Terrestrial Immortals, what does this have to do with the Law Enforcers? Why are they interfering in this matter?"

"They said there were mortals in the area where we were fighting, so they wouldn’t let us fight there!" Shen Wan’ao, the Great Elder of the Thousand Snow Palace, said indignantly.

"Weren’t you fighting in the air?" Long Yi was even more surprised.

"Exactly, that’s the ridiculous part!" Shen Wan’ao said: "We were fighting in the air, what does it have to do with the mortals on the ground? Moreover, after stopping us, they let the people from the Four Great Sects go, claiming they had something to discuss with us, but after a long time of idle talk, nothing meaningful was said. By the time they left, the people from the Four Great Sects were long gone!"

Long Yi looked at the Dean in astonishment: "Isn’t this biased, deliberately helping those Four Great Sects?"

"That’s exactly the problem!" The Dean said in a deep voice. noveldrama

Long Yi remained silent for a while, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and said in a deep voice: "Dean, do you mean that those Four Great Sects have already... have already aligned with the Heavenly Court?"

"Before the last negotiation, they captured Lü Donglin to lure Alliance Leader Su out. I found that quite strange then," the Dean said: "At that time, Celestial Enforcers gathered in the Capital City, stopping our Qinghe Academy, Martial God Altar, Hidden Sword Pavilion, and Thousand Snow Palace members from going out to help. If it hadn’t been for Beigong War God and the assassin’s intervention, Alliance Leader Su and the others would have been in danger. Now this kind of thing has happened again, making one have to suspect that those Four Great Sects might have some connection with the Heavenly Court!"

"This time’s negotiation is likely just a test by the Heavenly Court," Shen Wan’ao said in a low voice: "Now that such a thing has happened, there’s no doubt that the Heavenly Court is truly preparing to make a move against us."

Long Yi looked at everyone around him, then turned to the Dean and whispered: "Dean, what do you mean?"

The Dean pondered for a moment and said softly: "If the enemy doesn’t move, neither do we. Let’s see what they really intend to do!"

"Being so passive and getting beaten might be very dangerous..." Long Yi whispered.

"That’s why I’ve come here today to discuss something with you!" The Dean glanced at the few people around and said softly: "I think it’s necessary for us to start forming an alliance!"

"Alliance?" Long Yi was surprised: "Aren’t we already in an alliance?"

"This alliance is nothing but nominal!" The Dean shook his head: "Just like this time, I also contacted Jade Maiden Peak and the Innate Sect, and as a result, the people from Jade Maiden Peak didn’t even reply to me. As for the Innate Sect, they are still in civil strife, and it will probably take some time before their situation can be determined."

"Even though we won the vote this time, it also caused those Four Sects to become even more united. Now, with the Heavenly Court backing them, they do things without any burden and might join forces to attack any sect at any time. However, our side’s sects alliance lacks actionability, the gap compared to them is just too big!"

Long Yi slowly nodded, indeed agreeing with this. This time, it was only because Qinghe Academy personally stepped in, that they were able to invite people from Martial God Altar, Thousand Snow Palace, and Hidden Sword Pavilion. If Long Yi himself came forward, it’s likely no one would pay attention to him, nor would anyone care about the crisis facing the Great Might Dragon Gate.

This is the state of their alliance, it’s essentially not a real alliance, to put it bluntly, each is still looking out for themselves.

However, those Four Great Sects have now completely allied together. Whatever happens, they can quickly unite and take action, and that is the most troublesome part.

Though the combined strength of these four sects is not as strong as ours, they can still defeat each of our sects one by one, and that is the most dangerous aspect.

The Dean’s proposal to form this alliance is indeed crucial. If they don’t quickly form an alliance, they’ll still be individually defeated by those Four Great Sects sooner or later.

"I agree with the Dean’s proposal!" Long Yi nodded.

"Our Martial God Altar supports the Dean’s proposal!" said the elder from Martial God Altar directly.

Shen Wan’ao from the Thousand Snow Palace laughed: "My Thousand Snow Palace is the same!"

And as for Hidden Sword Pavilion, they too didn’t hesitate and agreed as well.

"Thank you all for your support!" The Dean, however, showed no joy but continued to wrinkle his brow: "Although this is my proposal, in reality, Qinghe Academy cannot get involved in such an alliance!"

The group exchanged glances, all understanding the situation.

The situation with Qinghe Academy is similar to that of the Heavenly Court. By rule, the Heavenly Court is not supposed to directly interfere in the Human Realm’s affairs and can only have the Law Enforcers enforce the Heavenly Court’s laws. Similarly, Qinghe Academy, apart from assisting the Ten Great Sects in selecting talent and coordinating battle alliances, is not allowed to engage in any other matters.

This kind of alliance can only be proposed by Qinghe Academy; they cannot actually participate in it. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court will find an excuse to aid those Four Great Sects, only precipitating the war, which is not suitable at all.

"Then, let this alliance be jointly formed by our four sects!" Long Yi suggested.

The members of the other three sects exchanged glances and all nodded, expressing their support.

The Dean thought for a moment and said, "Personally, I believe it would be best if Alliance Leader Su personally leads this alliance. Centered around him, after all, the alliance of the Ten Great Sects was established by Mr. Su Zhan himself. His son taking over would be more convincing."

Su Yang was momentarily stunned; such an alliance was to be led by him?

"I agree!" Long Yi immediately said. With Little Turtle in Su Yang’s possession now, especially after the Azure Dragon, the Great Might Dragon Gate would definitely listen to Su Yang without question.

"I agree as well!" Shen Wan’ao quickly stated, as this was his grandson; how could he disagree?
