Chapter 520 Everyone has their own agenda
"Blood Shark Palace is quite cunning. Knowing that we came here to discuss the attack on the Raging Waves Society, they asked us for help first. If we refuse, then there's no point in discussing anything further."
Fang Yu secretly transmitted his voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang looked at Zhou Hui and found that she was also looking at him.
Clearly, the Eastern Demon Sect thought the same thing.
This birthday celebration was actually an alliance. As a major power, Blood Shark Palace needed other sects to win its support.
After all, not only the Tyrant Whale Sect, but also sects such as the Eastern Demon Sect and Yellow Leaf Island have the desire to wipe out the Raging Waves Society.
Since the Blood Shark Palace Master has taken the initiative to offer his conditions, there is naturally no reason to refuse.
"Okay, thank you very much, young man."
Ye Kang patted Ren Chi on the shoulder to encourage him.
The latter was flattered and immediately bowed his head and clasped his hands, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
The group quickly followed Ren Chi to the northernmost point of Lingxi Island.
The island has a commercial street in the middle, a port in the south, guest accommodations in the east and west, and the main residence of Blood Shark Palace in the north, which is also the location of the birthday banquet.
A crimson palace stood on the shore, surrounded by many Blood Shark Palace disciples patrolling and guarding it.
Led by Ren Chi, the group arrived at the first floor of the main hall, where chairs made of coral and agate were placed, and the hall was full of people.
Ye Kang also saw Zhang Zuisheng and Feng Wuyai. Although the two bickered every day, they were actually sitting together at this moment.
There were also elders from other major sects, as well as representatives from some medium-sized sects and families.
Ye Kang and the others remained silent and consciously sat down in the last seats.
As soon as I sat down, a voice transmission entered my ear.
"Junior Brother Wang, it seems we'll have to team up again."
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yao Jingting with a blank expression: "Fellow Daoist, do we know each other?"
Yao Jingting playfully stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, I thought you were Wang Yintai. I was just testing you. Don't be angry."
Yao Jingting chuckled, her face pleading for mercy.
But in those cunning eyes, a glint of all-knowing insight clearly flashed.
It’s so similar!
Liu Ci and Wang Yintai are so similar in both their techniques and their style of doing things!
In addition, there are many rumors about Liu Ci that don't match the person in front of him at all.
If we consider the Crimson Sword Sect's targeting of Wang Yintai, everything becomes naturally connected.
However, Yao Jingting wasn't entirely sure, nor did she expose him. She simply stood next to Ye Kang and smiled, saying, "My name is Yao Jingting, and I'm from Huangye Island."
"Liu Ci".
Ye Kang nodded without saying anything more.
At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table stood up.
"Everyone, most of the people have arrived, so let's get straight to the point. We have received definite intelligence that the Great Jin Dynasty is planning something for our ancestor's birthday celebration."
The middle-aged man looked around, his expression very solemn.
Ye Kang stared at him for a moment and immediately recognized his identity.
Huo Zhun, the master of Blood Shark Palace.
He continued, "As you all know, Blood Shark Palace and Tianya Sea Pavilion have been vying for sea power, resulting in casualties on both sides. This time, Tianya Sea Pavilion intends to launch an attack during the birthday banquet. To be honest, I've been having a headache over this for several days now."
Huo Zhun shook his head helplessly, his expression extremely distressed.
At this moment, Feng Wuyai said coldly, "If this attack can cause Palace Master Huo so much trouble, it must be more than just a simple one."
Huo Zhun nodded: "Junior Brother Feng is absolutely right. These scoundrels from Tianya Haige know they can't stir up any trouble on their own, so I didn't expect them to collude with Jingyuezhai and Chongtian Temple. With these three working together, how can I not have a headache?"
"Is Chongtian Temple going to get involved too? Is Palace Master Huo's information accurate?" someone asked.
Huo Zhun sighed and said, "Absolutely accurate. Of course, launching a full-scale war is unlikely, but if the goal is just to attack Lingxi Island, then the three of us together would be more than enough."
"So, the reason the Palace Master summoned us here is?"
Huo Zhun immediately became serious and cupped his hands, saying, "The Blood Shark Palace has been engaged in numerous battles for years, and our disciples are already exhausted. In this attack, Huo Zhun earnestly requests that all fellow Daoists join us to fight against the Great Jin invaders!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, all showing hesitation.
Ye Kang, in particular, was completely dumbfounded.
WTF?
The three major reclusive sects have all arrived?
I'm attacking Chongtian Temple? Really?
Ye Kang felt a pang of jealousy, after all, he was still an honorary disciple of Chongtian Temple, and Master Nie Qing had always known that he had come to the outer sea for trials.
Although he knew that the Great Jin and the Outer Seas were at odds, the sudden outbreak of the war caught him off guard.
Zhang Zuisheng also said, "Palace Master Huo, we're here as guests. Why are we suddenly being asked to fight on your behalf? Isn't that against the proper way to treat guests?"
Huo Zhun said apologetically, "Indeed, but we have no other choice. If you all don't help, this attack will probably require the entire sect to resolve, and then we won't have time to attend to other matters."
That's very straightforward.
If you don't help me, I won't have the energy to participate in the suppression of the Kuanglan Society. You guys can have fun on your own.
Zhang Zui was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't vent his anger. He could only say, "Palace Master Huo is too polite. With one fist, two swords, and three supreme masters, the six families are originally one. Naturally, we will unite against external enemies. Our Tyrant Whale Sect will never allow the Great Jin traitors to run rampant!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Zhang! If Blood Shark Palace can overcome this calamity, we will do everything in our power to help Tyrant Whale Sect wipe out the evil forces!"
The discussion quickly ended amidst speeches from people with ulterior motives.
Blood Shark Palace was indeed very shrewd. Knowing that Tianya Haige was serious this time, in order to preserve its strength and reduce losses, it managed to bring in all the martial artists who came to the birthday banquet.
When these people are united, they form an incredibly powerful force, capable of handling an attack without much difficulty.
They returned to the waterside pavilion where the Tyrant Whale Sect resided.
As soon as Zhang Zuisheng entered, he began to curse.
"Damn it! That bastard Huo Zhun, he's like a cunning old fox! We came here out of kindness to celebrate Blood Shark Ancestor's birthday, and he's actually scheming against us in every way possible! I'm so angry!"
"Uncle-Master, calm down!"
"Calm down my ass! This old bastard is clearly trying to make us his cannon fodder. No matter how much the Great Jin attacks, can they defeat Blood Shark Ancestor? Unless those monsters from Chongtian Temple personally take action, why would they need our help!"
"He did it on purpose. Because his territory was far away, he was unwilling to besiege the Kuanglan Society, feeling that it would be a thankless task. So he had to find a way to get the benefits out of it in another matter. He's really shrewd."
Zhang Zuisheng drank several mouthfuls of wine before he could calm his volatile temper down a little.
Then he suddenly looked at Ye Kang: "Xiao Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Kang quickly shook his head: "I'll listen to whatever my martial uncle says."
"You kid, you're always talking nonsense. Fine, I'll give you a task."
"Uncle, please tell me."
"Tomorrow, go with Yao Jingting from Huangye Island to Jifeng Island in the South China Sea. It's a black market there, with eight rogue cultivators in charge. All the shady martial artists from the Great Jin and the Coral Islands go there to trade. Be smart."
"My martial uncle asked me to gather intelligence?"
"No, that's not it. You're good at disguise, so go get me two jars of the local specialty, Fengbo Brew. I haven't had it in ages, I'm dying to drink it."
