Chapter 823: Alliance to Hide the Real Reason (2/2)
”At the moment, our Sky Shifting Sect has control over 50% of the Godly Energy Veins. From now on, your two sides are prohibited from trying to take over our territory. That being said, we will keep that 50% while you two share the other 50. What do you think?”
Binmia and Aragan were taken aback after hearing that. Judging by the actual state of the situation, that was a very, very straightforward conclusion.
”Don't say that I'm ripping you off. Although we won't be able to eliminate your forces with Rag's power, we can definitely take over the entire Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. In exchange, we can make that fake alliance of ours a real one. What I'm planning is to be prepared for the future. Of course, our Sky Shifting Sect will be the alliance's leader. We will also take the most advantages from it.”
For Binmia and Aragan, it really hurt to hear that they would be under the Sky Shifting Sect's lead. However, it was true that this was the best outcome they could expect from the current situation. Franlia was obviously taking most of the benefits. Though, quite a few lifelines were left for the two. Of course, they usually wouldn't accept such terms. However, the Sky Shifting Sect now had the power to get rid of them with time. That was something they must avoid at all costs, even if it meant becoming a vassal of the other.
”What guarantees are there that you won't come after us later?”
Franlia snorted after hearing that.
”Guarantee? I don't need to give you anything like that. It's up to you to believe me or not. Of course, you're free to come to my Sky Shifting Sect if you want. I more than welcome it.”
Rag heard all of that and couldn't help but sigh.
'Indeed, power struggles are not something I like at all.'
Binmia and Aragan then talked with each other through Divine Sense for a moment before they gave Franlia an answer.
”Alright. We accept your terms.”
Franlia smiled, satisfied.
”That's good, then. Oh! One more thing. At the moment, we're still fighting each other for control over the Top Quality Godly Energy Veins. However, I don't want to stop it. Besides, I guess you two don't want it to stop as well. That has been a very good training place for all our forces. Although there are deaths here and there, those are things that can't be avoided in the path of cultivation. The only difference from now on is that no more territories will be taken from each other.”
Binmia and Aragan agreed with that.
”That's indeed a good thing.”
”Good! Now then, you two can go back from where you came. I'll send a few representatives of my Sky Shifting Sect later to sort out the details. Is that fine with you two?”
As much as they didn't like it, Aragan and Binmia could only nod. After that, the two opened a Spatial Gate each and left.
Rag then looked at Franlia and Tosely before asking.
”Is it really okay to leave them be like this?”
Franlia sighed as she said in response.
”It's not like we have a choice. Don't forget that this is all a facade. What will really bring our Sky Shifting Sect high up in the future is the gift left by Zule. This alliance is just a way of concealing the reason for the sudden increase in our sect's forces.”
Tosely agreed with Franlia.
”If we get too strong without a motive, the other powers will focus their eyes on us. Having a Nascent God Realm cultivator is good, but it doesn't mean we can fight everyone on our own. It's better to prevent that through this alliance and use it as the reason behind everything.”
Rag shrugged his shoulders after hearing that.
”Well, if that's the case, then so be it. You two know very well that I don't butt my head into these matters. I'll leave everything in your hands unless you really need my help with something. Of course, the less you need me, the better. Anyway, I don't want to stay like this forever, so I'm going back to change and heal my injuries. The tribulation power is still running through my body, and it hurts quite a lot.”
Franlia and Tosely nodded before they all went back to the sect.
Sure enough, the news about a new Nascent God Realm cultivator appearing on their planet spread like wildfire. Not only that, but everyone came to know that not only one but two Nascent Gods now lived in there. After all, Reril already showed his presence. Following that, the Sky Shifting Sect allied with the Flower River and Three Peaks, becoming the alliance's leader. In the others' eyes, that was basically the Sky Shifting Sect taking control over them.
The planet was truly undergoing multiple changes in a short amount of time.
