"Colorful Linglong?"
Jiang Han's heart jolted, and he looked at the group from the White Lotus Sect with suspicion, his lips moving slightly but remaining silent. However, the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand slowly retracted. Clearly, he was waiting for the White Lotus Sect to make an offer!
The Orange Lotus Envoy's gaze turned cold, wanting to turn hostile, but was stopped by Bai Ling, the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect.
"What does Sect Leader Jiang want?"
"Very simple, we temporarily join forces against our enemies."
A smirk appeared on Jiang Han's face as he continued, "The Qingcheng Sword Sect has stood strong in the martial world for thousands of years, and Dan Huo Liu Yun Sword Master is even outside the Sky-Connecting Armory! You from the White Lotus Sect may not fear the Qingcheng Sword Sect, but I, as a Manichaeist, do not have that kind of foundation. The risks involved go without saying. I guarantee my cooperation with you to eliminate everyone from the Qingcheng Sword Sect! So, how about handing over the Colorful Linglong to me?"
"Impossible!"
Bai Ling gritted her silver teeth, her expression filled with rage. After a long moment, she shook her head and said, "The Colorful Linglong is our goal for this trip; we will never give it to you. Besides, don’t think that those from the Qingcheng Sword Sect can completely leave us behind. Saintly Heart dared to let us come to the Sky-Connecting Armory to seize treasures; naturally, they have left some backup plans for us!"
If it were any other condition, they might consider it, but they absolutely could not part with the Colorful Linglong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought fiercely against the Qingcheng Sword Sect and held on with gritted teeth.
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded. As he gained a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth, he also noticed that there seemed to be an aura around Bai Ling that did not belong to her. It was very subtle yet undeniably present. He speculated that it was likely due to the Holy Mother of the White Lotus.
The purpose is to leave a means of survival for the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect.
"Is your target the Colorful Linglong?" Han tentatively asked.
The main effect of the Colorful Linglong is healing and prolonging life. Could it be that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus has encountered a problem in her cultivation? That shouldn't be the case! Not long ago, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus had a confrontation with the Great Zhou and the Xiao Family, displaying great power and frightening the Great Zhou. How could she suddenly turn around and seem so intent on obtaining the Colorful Linglong?
Could it be that obtaining the Colorful Linglong was actually the Holy Mother of the White Lotus's goal all along? Jiang Han had a vague feeling of "I see the truth," even though it was all just speculation.
"Hmph!" The Orange Lotus Flower Saint Envoy shot him a glance, curling her lips in a manner that suggested he shouldn't ask further. She believed that while she might not be able to defeat Jiang Han, she at least had the qualification to confront him, even if she had no power to fight back!
Bai Ling secretly glared at her, then turned to Jiang Han and said, "How about this: we join forces to deal with these guys from the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and everything we obtain will belong to you. The White Lotus Holy Church won't take a single share. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Bai Ling's flattering words, the Orange Lotus Envoy raised an eyebrow, secretly sighing.
Jiang Han scoffed, "With such conditions, you might as well find someone else to do your bidding! If you keep joking like this, I might as well team up with the Qingcheng Sword Sect and take you all down!"
Fang Yang had been seething with anger at the open discussion between the White Lotus Sect and Jiang Han about how to join forces against the Qingcheng Sword Sect. Now hearing this, his expression brightened, and he quickly clasped his hands together and said, "What you say makes sense. My previous offer still stands. Additionally, I can represent the Qingcheng Sword Sect to promise you a favor!"
"Within the capabilities of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, I will do my utmost to satisfy you."
The offer from the Qingcheng Sword Sect was indeed sincere! A favor from a first-rate power is not the same as a personal favor.
Bai Ling's expression appeared slightly awkward; she tugged at the corner of her mouth and pondered for a moment before saying, "Our goal is the Seven-Colored Linglong, but there is still a long time until the Sky-Connecting Armory closes. If Sect Leader Jiang could assist us in safeguarding the Seven-Colored Linglong, then during our subsequent journey, we would certainly not stand idly by! Furthermore, anything we find together in our search for opportunities will all belong to you; we will take none of it. How does that sound?"
In truth, she felt quite troubled. Although her identity was that of a Holy Maiden, her privileges were limited. If she were to use Heavenly Tier Martial Arts or sixth or seventh-grade pills to pressure them, she feared that even if she returned, she wouldn't have a good outcome!
She had just barely secured her position as Holy Maiden, yet there were many who coveted her status. Those scheming individuals wished for her downfall so they could take her place!
In the thousands of years of history of the White Lotus Sect, those who had been replaced as White Lotus Saintess could form a group!
Jiang Han was taken aback for a moment but then seriously contemplated the situation. Although the Qingcheng Sword Sect spoke beautifully and made promises, whether they could deliver was still uncertain. Could he really go to the Qingcheng Sword Sect to demand something? If they denied it after leaving, wouldn’t he be at odds with them again?
Unless he is crazy!
As a top-tier force that has stood for thousands of years, the Qingcheng Sword Sect is not so easily provoked, especially with the Dan Huo Liu Yun Sword Master still alive.
A Martial Arts Deity from the Youngshen Realm presiding over the great formation of the Qingcheng Sword Sect means that even a powerful figure from the True Martial Realm would have to exert considerable effort to deal with them!
That said, Bai Ling's asking price is indeed low, but it is easy to fulfill.
To put it bluntly, if they dare to turn against him in the Sky-Connecting Armory, he could easily expose the matter of the Seven-Colored Linglong being in their possession. Even if they have some trump cards left by the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, they won't have it easy!
In this enclosed space, there are no external reinforcements, and opportunities are abundant.
If he can gain the support of those from the White Lotus Sect, his chances of winning against other major sects will significantly increase!
Otherwise, once he gets entangled, his opponents might very well take away the treasures first.
He does not want to experience the feeling of a cooked duck flying away!
As for the Seven-Colored Linglong? Although it is exceptionally precious, neither Jiang Han nor Manichaeism is in urgent need of it.
There isn't any ancient monster from Manichaeism that requires this for longevity!
As for healing? The Baghdad Zen Master still has two rare editions of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment, and its healing effects may not be significantly worse than that of the Seven-Colored Linglong.
Jiang Han cast a deep glance at Bai Ling, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Let's do it!"
