NOVPUBChapter 831: Chapter 447: Alliance Chapter 831: Chapter 447: Alliance “As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Shikang was also looking at Shao Changyi with a serious face, in his heart he was also somewhat uncertain.
After all, the conditions put forth by the Lin Family did seem a bit harsh.
As expected, upon hearing Lin Shikang’s five conditions, Shao Changyi had no objections to three of them, but there were two conditions that even he dared not decide on behalf of Zhenyang Sect.
At this time, Shao Changyi’s face showed difficulty, and then he said, ‘Lin, could we possibly reduce the number of places in the third condition?’
‘After all, the places are extremely limited, and the West River Li Family and Chen Clan were willing to make a move. Our two sects also promised to allocate some of the places to them!’
‘Besides, the Lin Family needs to take action sooner; half a year is too long. By the time the Lin Family moves out, most of the Wei Kingdom may have fallen.’
Having said this, Shao Changyi stood up and gave Lin Shikang a bow, his attitude and tone extremely cautious.
Lin Shikang considered it for a moment, then replied to Shao Changyi, ‘Shao, give us three days to discuss it. We will definitely give you a definite answer within three days, how does that sound?’ 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Hearing this, Shao Changyi also let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lin Shikang would not budge and was even more afraid that the Lin Family intended to delay.
If that were the case, he would truly find himself in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Lin Shikang was a wise man. His meaning was evidently agreeable to their conditions, although the details were yet to be discussed. It was estimated that it wouldn’t be far off.
...
Since this was the case, his trip to the Lin Family to seek cooperation had roughly achieved its purpose.
Understanding this, Shao Changyi also smiled lightly and said, ‘That would be excellent!’
‘Lin, please rest assured, the many conditions promised this time are not set in stone. As long as the Golden Sword Sect is annihilated, I personally guarantee that the benefits obtained by the Lin Family will absolutely exceed the promises!’
‘Hmm…’
Lin Shikang nodded and continued, ‘Then, Shao, stay in our clan for two days. Once the discussion is concluded, I will contact you.’
After saying this, Lin Shikang also instructed Lin Shihua at his side.
‘Shihua, take good care of Shao.’
‘Don’t worry, third brother!’
After Lin Shihua replied, he gestured to Shao Changyi to bow and invited him to leave the Guest-Receiving Palace.
Two days later.
Inside the Guest-Receiving Palace, Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua met again with the awaiting Shao Changyi.
As the three sat down and exchanged a few courtesies, Shao Changyi didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked Lin Shikang for his decision.
Seeing his eager look, Lin Shikang also laughed and said, ‘Shao, after discussion with my clan members, we all agree to accept the request of your sect.’
‘Oh? That’s wonderful!’
Shao Changyi’s face lit up with excitement; the expression was far from the heaviness he had at the start.
Lin Shikang continued, ‘As for the detailed conditions of the Lin Family, we can make some concessions. Regarding the places in the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, we can reduce the number, but the lowest line is twenty spots!’
‘Besides, it is true that the Lin Family’s top combatants are all injured and cannot go into battle in a short time.’
‘However, the Lin Family can deploy at least one clan member to your sect within three months, and then send two more Golden Core Combat Strength to the battlefield within a year, how about that?’
Upon hearing this, Shao Changyi fell silent for a short while, thinking about how much truth lay in Lin Shikang’s words.
Taking into account the recent battle news from the Cultivation World, given Qingyun Sect Xu Zhi’s cultivation strength, it’s likely that the Lin Family’s Golden Core Cultivators did indeed sustain serious injuries.
And Lin Shikang’s willingness to make concessions was overall a good start; at least the Lin Family was willing to wade into these troubled waters.
Otherwise, the situation for both Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect would be even more perilous.
If they couldn’t resist the Golden Sword Sect and the Blood Red Alliance, both Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect might be destroyed. If that happened, no matter how favorable the conditions offered, what would they matter?
With these thoughts, Shao Changyi immediately made up his mind to agree to the many conditions of the Lin Family.
Having made the decision, Shao Changyi bowed and laughed, ‘The Lin Family truly understands the bigger picture, I greatly admire this.’
‘Since time is of the essence for both of us, let’s quickly establish a Heavenly Dao oath. I need to return to my sect to report back.’
After saying this, Shao Changyi took out a page of golden-yellow beast skin from his storage bag as if he feared that Lin Shikang would renege on the agreement.
Immediately after, he flicked his fingers, and streaks of Spiritual Light bombarded the beast skin.
Soon, a series of blood-red characters appeared on the beast skin. Upon closer inspection, they were the various conditions mentioned by Lin Shikang.
In a short while, Shao Changyi had all the conditions displayed on the beast skin and then handed it over to Lin Shikang.
Next, Shao Changyi pointed to the beast skin and said, ‘Lin, please check this contract to see if there are any issues?’
‘If there are none, leave a trace of your divine soul’s power on it. I’ll activate the contract, and that will complete this agreement.’
Hearing this, Lin Shikang also took the beast skin and meticulously began to check it.
After his inspection, the many clauses recorded on the beast skin were exactly as stated, not missing a single detail, and it also stipulated that the Lin Family has the right to retreat on its own if Myriad Medicine Valley is beaten back and the situation becomes untenable.
Besides, deploying three Golden Core Cultivators from the Lin Family would fulfill the terms of this contract.
