Chapter 853 Alliance (2/2)

Mu Qingyan and the others naturally desired these high-grade Mother Runes as well but had no way to obtain them. They never imagined that Zhou Yuan would promise to give them three hundred every month once this affair was concluded.

This was an unexpected surprise.

“It seems that he does have some sincerity,” said Mu Qingyan.

If we can get three hundred high-grade Mother Runes every month, we should be able to make up some of the losses if we fail in the Heaven Flame Ritual.

However, Mu Qingyan still disapproved of Zhou Yuan leading the Wind Pavilion to face the entire Fire Pavilion, and she clearly did not believe he had any chance of succeeding. After all, the gap between both sides was far too great.

Even with Zhou Yuan pouring all of his efforts into transforming the Wind Pavilion, he had far too little time. It had only been a few months since he had joined, whereas the Fire Pavilion’s humongous advantage was the culmination of many years of efforts. How could it be easy for Zhou Yuan to catch up?

She could only pray that they would not lose too badly this time, or it would be a little shameful.

Bah, lose if we have to. I’ll take it as us accompanying them to play!

Mu Qingyan consoled herself with such thoughts.

The Fire Island.

Zhu Lian gazed at Lu Xiao’s back and reported, “Pavilion master, the Forest Pavilion sent someone to reject our proposal.”

Lu Xiao turned his head and nonchalantly said, “How disappointing.”

Zhu Lian said in a low voice, “According to our informants in the Forest Pavilion, Mu Liu has likely chosen to cooperate with Zhou Yuan.”

“An alliance between two weaklings?” Lu Xiao shook his head. “Since when did Mu Liu become so foolish? Never mind, I originally wanted to give their Forest Pavilion some benefit, but it seems that it is not fated.”

He was not the least bit angered by the Forest Pavilion’s decision, because they were not an important part of his plan. He wouldn’t have contacted them, if he did not want to completely crush the Wind Pavilion this time.

However, he was somewhat surprised that Mu Liu had chosen Zhou Yuan over him.

“Never mind, let him do what he wants.

“Since he has decided to stand on the opposing side, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.” Lu Xiao turned his head again and peered into the distance. They had always given the Forest Pavilion a little face in previous Heaven Flame Rituals and had generously given them a little meat to eat. He never expected that his kindness would not be repaid.

Since that was the case, he no longer planned on showing any courtesy.

Lu Xiao indifferently asked, “Zhu Lian, how are our preparations?”

Zhu Lian nodded as he said in a satisfied manner, “Everything is ready. Moreover, I even specially made a trip back to the Heavenly Spirit Hall as per your, the pavilion master’s, request. I only feel that you regard Zhou Yuan far too highly. Our Fire Pavilion already has an enormous advantage and has even prepared such trump cards for the ritual. This is essentially using a cleaver to kill a chicken.”

Lu Xiao placed his hands behind his back as he said, “I do not want to make the same mistake as before. Even a lion should use all its power to slaughter a rabbit.

“This time, I will make Zhou Yuan feel true despair!”

He would also teach the Forest Pavilion how stupid their choice was.
