The Infinite Mystery

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front of the main hall.

"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang. This was the sound of the Scarlet Thunder Sect welcoming guests.

"Look, the people from the Myriad Sword Sect are here!" Many disciples looked over curiously.

A flying huge ship steadily stopped in the air above the Scarlet Thunder Sect.

As the flying ship's door opened, a group of cultivators walked out from within the ship, surrounding a shining carriage that slowly arrived in front of the sect's main hall.

Cao Ping sat firmly on the throne with a proud smile on his face.

"Uncle Li, long time no see, I really miss you." Cao Ping slowly got up and unsteadily bowed to Li Haoyang.

This kind of attitude was impolite to a sect leader of a first-rate sect like the Scarlet Thunder Sect. Some of the disciples' faces immediately lit up with a touch of anger.

However, Li Haoyang still maintained his composure and said coldly, "Nephew Cao, you've worked hard all the way. Please come in."

The other elders also had gloomy expressions. Today, no matter what, they wanted to facilitate the establishment of an alliance between the two sects.

Cao Ping didn't stand on ceremony and followed Li Haoyang into the main hall

At this time, at the side of the sect's main hall, Li Huixin stood on the other side of the main hall with a red veil covering her head.

When Cao Ping saw this scene, he could not help but frown. "Uncle Li, Huixin has covered her face. I can't see her face clearly. Why don't you tell her to remove the veil and let me see her beautiful face? After all, I'm going to be her husband soon. It shouldn't matter if I see her face, right?"

Everyone's hearts sank. This wasn't giving the Scarlet Thunder Sect any face at all. Although the Scarlet Thunder Sect had asked for the Myriad Sword Sect's help, it doesn't mean Myriad Sword Sect could humiliate them.

Just now, Cao Ping had shown that he was too arrogant.

Li Haoyang coughed lightly and said to the few maids standing behind Li Huixin, "Remove Huixin's veil."

Hearing this, the surrounding maids hurriedly went up and took the red silk cloth away.

Instantly, a peerlessly beautiful face appeared before Cao Ping's eyes. Cao Ping's eyes instantly went straight.

Although he had heard about Li Huixin's beauty before, he did not expect Li Huixin to be so beautiful.

Back then, the two sects had exchanged portraits for this marriage. However, the painter hadn't drawn Li Huixin's face clearly, causing him unable to deduce just how beautiful Li Huixin actually is.

"I must get this woman!" Cao Ping could not help but be overjoyed. His eyes glowed with a strange light that clearly reflected his evil intention.

The surrounding Scarlet Thunder Sect Elders couldn't help but frown when they saw Cao Ping's eyes flash with an evil light.

"Hahaha, Uncle Li, let's talk about marriage now." Cao Ping laughed loudly at this moment and said.

"There's no hurry. Let's discuss the matter of the alliance between the two sects first." Li Haoyang lightly said: "Your father called you over, he should have told you about this before"

Cao Ping snorted coldly, glancing disdainfully at the people of the Scarlet Thunder Sect present. According to his previous plan, he was prepared to mock and ridicule them.

However, in order to take down Li Huixin, he decided not to say anything for the time being.

"Our Myriad Sword Sect has a total of three conditions. If you can accept these three conditions, the alliance between us can be immediately formed." Cao Ping smiled and said.

But this caused Li Haoyang to frown. It is because they have clearly talked about this before with Cao Ping's father. He will give his daughter to Cao Ping, and the Myriad Sword Sect will establish an alliance with them.

And now, the Myriad Sword Sect was actually trying to make them accept another three conditions.

Li Haoyang wanted to say something but could not voice anything. He really wanted to form an alliance no matter what, so that Immortal Hunters would not attack their sect. And even if Immortal Hunters attacked, they would have the support of the Myriad Sword Sect.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Haoyang asked: "What are your conditions?"

Cao Ping smiled and listed out the three conditions.

"Firstly, the Scarlet Thunder Sect has to pay one hundred thousand Low-Grade Immortal Stones to the Myriad Sword Sect every year."

"Secondly, the Scarlet Thunder Sect has to give the ownership of ten High-Grade Spirit Stone mines to the Myriad Sword Sect."

"Thirdly, the Scarlet Thunder Sect has a sect-protecting Immortal Treasure called Thunder God Steel. This treasure needs to be given to our Myriad Sword Sect for a period of time. We will return this treasure in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd instantly went into an uproar.

One hundred thousand Immortal Stones and ten High-Grade Spirit Stone mines were still within the scope of consideration, but the condition of giving the sect-protecting Immortal Treasure called Thunder God Steel to the Myriad Sword Sect was really out of question.

The reason why their Scarlet Thunder Sect was able to achieve such a huge foundation in the short period of time after the world evolved was because of the existence of a sect-protecting Immortal Treasure.

The surrounding people did not dare to lay their hands on the Scarlet Thunder Sect.

If the Myriad Sword Sect really took away this sect-protecting Immortal Treasure, it would really cause the Scarlet Thunder Sect to suffer a huge blow.

Li Haoyang's expression was gloomy. He said: "I'll agree to the first two conditions, but the third condition is needed to be discussed."

Li Haoyang knew he must remain calm in the current situation.

This was the foundation of the Scarlet Thunder Sect, and without the Thunder God Steel, their defense would fall dramatically.

Cao Ping wasn't worried. He leisurely crossed his legs and said, "Uncle Li, you should know how Golden Spirit Island was destroyed, right?"

"Although Golden Spirit Island has the Golden Spirit Sword as a sect protecting Immortal Treasure, there aren't any experts in the entire sect who are able to control the Golden Spirit Sword. When the Immortal Hunters arrive, they won't be able to retaliate at all."

Cao Ping's words were already like a dagger piercing their hearts. He did not give Li Haoyang any face at all.

Li Haoyang's face was gloomy, but he did not say a word.

If it was any other day, if Cao Ping dared to speak to him like this, Li Haoyang definitely wouldn't let him go. But now, the situation was already different.

Including himself, the Scarlet Thunder Sect only had two Worldly Immortal Realm martial warriors. If those Immortal Hunters really came, no matter how strong Li Haoyang was, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

At that time, the Scarlet Thunder Sect would follow in the footsteps of Golden Spirit Island.

Seeing that Li Haoyang's face was filled with uncertainty and that he hadn't said anything, Cao Ping gradually revealed a trace of a smile.

"Uncle Li, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible. It will not be good if you miss the auspicious moment." Cao Ping looked at Li Huixin, who was standing by the side like a puppet, and his eyes flashed with an evil light.

Li Haoyang pondered for a moment and was about to make a decision.

Suddenly, an elder stood up and shouted angrily, "Wild ambition! The conditions offered by the Myriad Sword Sect are simply outrageous. You want to annex our Scarlet Thunder Sect. Sect Master, you must not agree to this condition!"

The elder who stood up was a peak Heavenly Soul Realm elder of the Scarlet Thunder Sect. He was just a single step away from breaking through his mortality and becoming Immortal.

Cao Ping revealed a look of disdain as he looked at that elder, and spoke with a sneer on his face, "I am talking to Uncle Li. Who do you think you are?"

"Arrogant brat, you're courting death!" That Elder was extremely furious and could not help but slap at him hard.

He did not use all of his strength in this slap, and his target was also the seat under Cao Ping. He just wanted to teach Cao Ping a lesson.

After all, he was an expert at the peak of the Heavenly Soul Realm. He knew he could not use more strength, for he might kill Cao Ping accidentally.

But, he could still release the aura that belongs to a Heavenly Soul Realm martial warrior. Thinking of this, along with his attack, a terrifying pressure suddenly targeted Cao Ping.

Cao Ping was an idiot. When he felt this heavy pressure, his expression could not help but change.

"Chen Yang, attack!" Cao Ping screamed loudly.

The silent old man behind him did not move.

"Bang!"

The chair under Cao Ping was directly shattered by the palm of the Elder, causing Cao Ping to fall heavily onto the ground. He could not help but clutch his butt as he howled in pain.
