Together with Emperor Xuanzong, they dealt with the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace.

As soon as those words were spoken, the entrance to Xuanzong Mountain fell into a deathly silence.

Although everyone knows that Xuanzong and Xiaoyao Immortal Palace will have a battle sooner or later.

But there's still a thin layer of paper separating us.

The only one who spoke so clearly and bluntly was One-Eyed Dragon.

Murong Ting frowned slightly.

The one-eyed man looked around with a sharp gaze and said in a sinister tone.

"The power of the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace is immense, and the Xuanzong Sect alone is certainly not enough. If our two forces join forces, the Xuanzong Sect can focus on dealing with the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace, while our Black Dragon Stronghold can help you wipe out those smaller forces. One from within and one from without, it's a match made in heaven!"

These words caused the leaders of the surrounding minor factions to change color.

Judging from his tone, the one-eyed dragon clearly intends to take advantage of the chaos to massacre the carefree immortal realm.

However, it must be said that his proposal was quite tempting.

In the Free and Unfettered Immortal Realm, besides the top fourteen sects, there are also many smaller forces and families that depend on the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace for survival.

Once Xuanzong and Xiaoyao Immortal Palace go to war, they will definitely provide support.

Although it may not cause any harm to Emperor Xuanzong, it is enough to make his offensive progress more difficult.

With the help of the one-eyed dragon, Emperor Xuanzong would have fewer worries and could indeed forge ahead.

Moreover, Black Wind Stronghold is fully capable of saying this.

Because smaller forces don't have powerful emperors to oversee them, and they don't even have many warriors at the Saint Realm level.

One-Eyed Dragon is a genuine Saint-level powerhouse.

With his four henchmen, their fighting strength should not be underestimated.

The one-eyed dragon looked at Murong Ting smugly, knowing that Xuanzong could not refuse his suggestion.

Although Black Wind Stronghold has a bad reputation, what does reputation matter?

Profits and spirit stones are the main things.

"As long as your Xuan Sect provides us with the cultivation techniques, my Black Wind Stronghold can take care of all the other miscellaneous matters for you!"

"After we unify the Immortal Realm, we'll divide the territory equally. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

The one-eyed man chuckled coldly.

Let Xuanzong handle the danger, while I can take the opportunity to burn, kill, and plunder – how delightful!

Murong Ting looked at the smug one-eyed man, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Trying to scheme against Emperor Xuanzong? Are you awake yet?

"I appreciate the chieftain's kindness, but we are not on the same page. Take the gifts back; you are not welcome here!"

Soft words, like a lover's whisper, are captivating.

But the one-eyed man's smile froze instantly, and an incredulous light flashed in his single eye.

Emperor Xuanzong refused.

On what grounds do they have to refuse?

Why refuse?

However, the one-eyed man was not flustered and instead laughed again.

"Hehehe... Trying to sell yourself for a higher price? Xuanzong is overestimating himself!"

"You don't have to agree to cooperate, but let me give you a friendly reminder: I, One-Eyed Dragon, am no saint. Don't blame us if I cause any trouble later!"

Murong Ting's expression turned serious.

"Are you threatening Emperor Xuanzong?"

One-Eyed Dragon shrugged: "I wouldn't dare. After all, the Xuanzong Sect has slain fifteen Great Emperors from four major sects. My Black Wind Stronghold's strength is nothing to the Xuanzong Sect! We can't afford to offend them!"

He said he was someone you couldn't afford to offend, but everyone could clearly hear the sarcastic undertone in his words.

The atmosphere in front of the Xuanzong Mountain gate instantly became strange.

The gazes of the leaders of the various minor factions also became subtle.

Murong Ting became even angrier.

"One-Eyed Chieftain, you cannot bear the consequences of provoking the Xuanzong Sect!"

The one-eyed man was fearless.

"What? Does Emperor Xuanzong dare to kill people openly? Everyone, come and see! I, One-Eyed Dragon, brought gifts to congratulate him, and Emperor Xuanzong not only refused them, but now he wants to kill people. His wolfish ambitions are obvious. You gave them gifts today, and they will confiscate your property tomorrow. How impressive!"

The provocative words stirred up a commotion among the leaders of many minor factions.

"Although the One-Eyed Dragon is a villain, he wasn't rude this time. It was Xuanzong who was abusing his power!"

"They resort to murder when business negotiations fall through. What a tyrannical Emperor Xuanzong! Who would dare to cooperate with them in the future!"

"Exactly! They haven't even surpassed the Free and Unfettered Immortal Palace yet, and they're already so arrogant. They really misjudged them!"

Many powerful figures quietly withdrew the gifts they had given.

The situation turned against Emperor Xuanzong.

Just then, a calm voice rang out.

"Why should Emperor Xuanzong explain his actions to others?"

The voice was deep and steady, giving people a sense of weight and solidity, like a mountain.

All the Xuanzong disciples stood up and knelt down towards the peak.

Even Murong Ting and Wu Fan were no exception.

Because the one who spoke was Tang Xuan.

Murong Ting bowed, then stood up, her face once again filled with a confident smile.

“Master is right. There is no need for explanation in the actions of Xuanzong. One-Eyed Dragon, your hands are covered in blood and your sins are unforgivable. You have come at the right time. The place in front of Xuanzong’s mountain gate is your burial ground!”

The situation reversed again. Seeing that things were not going well, the one-eyed dragon took to the air and tried to escape.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Wu Fan reacted instantly, catching up with the one-eyed dragon.

"Damn it, get out of my way!"

With a gritted teeth, the one-eyed dragon unleashed his twin axes from behind, slashing fiercely at Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was not to be outdone; the one-eyed dragon was strong, but he was no weakling either.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

On the ground, the remaining bandits of Black Wind Stronghold tried to resist, but they were all directly suppressed by the disciples of Xuanzong.
