839 Wushen Palace (2/2)
”Is that so?”
Zong Shou laughed and looked at Tanjing, only to see him shift his head away awkwardly, ”Brother Hong is going to win, so there is no need for Ruler to do such useless things. Although we had an agreement before, looking at the situation today, Ruler won't have the strength to enforce it.”
Zong Shou nodded his head, understanding the situation. His previous impression of Tianfang Guild had totally collapsed.
They placed their bets on both sides and didn't take responsibility for themselves. They had totally no bottom line and no eyes at all.
If he sent troops to attack and truly conquered the many worlds, then Tianfang Guild would definitely be the first one that he would wipe out.
Leaving such a power behind him was like waiting to be stabbed in the back, who knows when they would betray him?
However, it was fine, he said those words that day just to test them out.
It wasn't beyond his expectation for that person to be like that.
The moment Tanjing said this, he heard another person beside him laugh arrogantly, ”This is the first time I have seen someone as dumb as you over these 1,000 years. Deacon Tan and Hong Jiuchen, although they were enemies these few years, they worked together so many times, they are pretty much on the same boat. If Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty takes over Yuanlian World, Tianfang Guild will control 70% of trades. Only you would be so stupid to believe him.”
That person shook his head, ”You are the disciple of an End Realm expert. Actually, it is okay if you don't follow the rules once or twice. You can just attack to kill them both. Would Tianfang Guild dare to make a sound. Even if Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty is unhappy, they will have to take it. Did the Seven Saint Alliance do anything when you killed Jiujing? Now it is too late, how amusing, how amusing...”
Hong Jiuchen held a jade cup in his hand without saying a word. Tanjing laughed coldly and didn't bother.
Anyway, the matter had reached such a stage, so these few people could say whatever they liked.
Zong Shou listened on and couldn't help but nod his head.
That day when he took over, he had investigated and found out that Tanjing controlled a region and had a good relationship with the other powers.
Due to him, the other few powers of Yuanlian World were able to maintain balance.
He even sent troops several times to help Jiujing secretly.
Now, it seemed like doing all that was just to bargain.
Zong Shou's arrival had broken that balance, naturally, those two people would walk on the same side.
At this time, he didn't expect that Tanjing and Hong Jiuchen were in cahoots long ago.
If he really didn't care about anything, he could have killed them all a month ago.
However, he had another reason for agreeing at the start.
Moreover, was it any good for him even if he did that?
Make enemies on all sides?
The Seven Saint Alliance might fear Dragon Shadow, but if a few of the powers worked together, they might not.
If he really did that, he wouldn't be able to advance much in the outer region.
If he wanted to take down Yuanlian World, he should do so by removing all future repercussions and make the other people yield.
He recognized that the person who spoke was Fuyue. Zong Shou smiled and then walked to the table at the end.
Along with him sitting down, tunes instantly sounded out from below.
Dozens more exquisite looking females started singing and dancing below.
They cultivated in charming techniques and they were beautiful too, making them enjoyable to the eyes and refreshing to the heart.
However, no one within the hall focused on their singing and dancing.
They all drank quietly, their expressions were all different.
