Chapter 1815: The Alliance Crumbles (1/2)
The first teht Sect He had previously thought he was on a path of no return, but Jiang Chen’s words changed his mind
The imperial family and House Xiahou had failed to demonstrate coht Sect really have to follow these losers to their de Chen could see what the sect leader was thinking “Sect Head,” he s from your sect was key to my infiltration He’s been displeased about the i He also toldoppressed in the alliance
“I can pardon the Starlight Sect’s past offenses on the sacred land’s behalf As long as you and yours leave the alliance and cease aiding the forces of evil, the sacred land guarantees your safety If you are willing to assist the sacred land in quelling this rebellion, you will be rewarded handsomely! Whether you are friend or foe is entirely up to you”
The Starlight Sect head tangibly felt the gazes around hih or cry How could he not know that this solicitation was also a burning of his bridges?
The undertone of the young ht Sect had been displeased for quite a while Even if he didn’t cut ties noould the others continue to accept him?
There was no other choice for the sect There was no other choice for hienerally decisive The head of the Starlight Sect grit his teeth, nodding “The Starlight Sect is out! Sir Shao Yuan, please inforrave misdeeds, we have also repented of our sins We are henceforth an ally of the sacred land, willing to do whatever needed to redeereat outcry at this stateht Sect was a traitor from the start! Friends, how can we let these backstabbers live?”
“Yes, we can’t let them leave so easily!” a supporter of House Xiahou chimed in
However, many other factions were eerily quiet They didn’t partake in the clamor Because the situation was still murky, everyone kept self-preservation at the top of their minds Even if they didn’t leave the alliance directly, they wanted to quietly observe any changes
“House Beigong, House Feng, you’re cannon fodder in this alliance as well The first pri as you renounce your past affiliation, you too will be granted clemency despite your conduct Moreover, you are fully aware of what the sacred land can bring to bear Today, I bring a warning, next time will be an arhter then!”
Even without the exaht Sect, these two houses were already quite dissatisfied at the heavy losses they’d been forced to sustain by the alliance Jiang Chen’s proposition was extre’s patriarch couldn’t help but ask “Sir Shao Yuan, do you represent the first priated that authority, yes,” Jiang Chen replied coolly
“Alright If that’s the case, House Beigong is out of the alliance as well We head to the sacred land’s aid! We’ve been thinking about it over the past few days ourselves Perhaps the sacred land’s rule is what’s best for this nation The other factions only have a took a parting shot at the imperial family and House Xiahou on their way out
The departure of three first-rate factions caused the hearts of the others to waver as well Clearly, the anti-sacred-land alliance had been drastically weakened
The Jade Lake Sect head ies, Your Majesty After serious consideration, we believe this rebellion to be extremely odd and out of place The Jade Lake Sect is out!”
That sect was on reasonably good terardless The factions that rereat sects, two had withdrawn Of the seven houses, two as well
Jiang Chen’s eyes settled impassionedly on the House Yan patriarch
“Patriarch Yan, it see to follow House Xiahou to the bitter end Is that correct?”
House Yan’s patriarch shi+vered He looked with enius of House Yan only a few years ago, but was now pointing fingers and issuing commands above them
“Never mind, never mind,” the Yan patriarch murmured “I’ve made so many mistakes in the past, but I won’t falter here I’m out! House Yan is out!”
House Yan wasn’t a particularly important member of the alliance in the first place, but it did serve as a first-rate representative as one of the seven great houses
Now, five of the first-rate factions were solidly detached fro the aristocracy, two hadn’t rebelled in the first place They maintained a neutral stance even now Only two houses and the Cloudwave Sect remained with the rebels
The Cloudwave Sect was a die-hard loyalist of House Xiahou It wouldn’t possibly betray its an to fret about the disintegrating alliance
