The people from other forces in the countries where these forces are located have not noticed the changes in Wei State in the past year, and only the people from the ten major forces that originally bid for the Supreme Card know the unique martial arts secrets and various unique cultivation methods possessed by the Wei State royal family on Chuitai Mountain.
In addition, they have been staying in Wei State for a long time and have witnessed the reforms in Wei State. They all know that Wei State is now just a lion that is gathering strength to hunt.
However, those forces on the Shengwu Continent that have not paid attention to the Wei State do not think so. After all, the Wei State has not shown much ambition in the past few decades, and it has not taken too harsh a retaliation against the invasion of the Xiongnu and the Gan State last year. This may give people the illusion that the Wei State is a weak country.
They believed that in the future, Wei State would most likely be the first target to be annexed by other countries on the Shengwu Continent, and that Wei State could not pose any threat to their country or their own power.
Therefore, after hearing the news that Julu Academy and the other six major forces had pledged allegiance to the Wei Kingdom, the forces of other countries on the Shengwu Continent secretly laughed at these forces in their hearts, believing that these forces were only seeking their own destruction.
The State of Wei has been showing a trend of decline in recent years. When other countries invade the State of Wei in the future, the State of Wei will be unable to protect them. At that time, these forces that have developed very well in their own country will most likely end up with their families destroyed and their people dead.
Of course, these forces are also very happy to see this situation. You must know that these seven major forces are also very powerful forces in their own countries. These forces originally controlled a considerable amount of territory and resources in their countries. Now that these forces have decided to defect to the State of Wei, the forces in their countries can take the opportunity to seize these territories and resources and further expand their sphere of influence.
Of course, these are superficial views held by those without a deep understanding of Wei. However, those from the Julu Academy and the other seven factions are well aware that Wei's current royal family is no longer the cohesive one of the past. Under the rule of the current Wei Emperor, not only has the royal family become more united, but the aristocratic families and common people of Wei are also more supportive of the Wei court under the current Emperor's rule.
Anyone with a brain can see that the rise of Wei is inevitable. If they do not rely on Wei now, they will have no living space after Wei really launches a war and unifies the Shengwu Continent.
On the contrary, now you only need to pay some money to get the protection of Wei State, and the members of your own forces can also get better training resources. Those in your own forces who have poor training talents or are interested in entering officialdom can also get the opportunity to enter officialdom in Wei State through relatively fair means.
Therefore, they only had to pay half of their wealth and 100,000 taels of silver to get so many benefits, which was not a loss at all for their forces. You must know that the wealth they possessed was extremely huge, and even if they paid some, there would still be a lot left, which was enough for them to establish their own forces in Wei and carry out future development.
Of course, when the Royal Yuya Villa sold ten supreme membership cards, although the Canglan Empire did not directly surrender to the Wei Kingdom, the most talented princess of the Canglan Empire, Liu Ruyan, had already sworn to the Heart of Martial Arts that she would be forever loyal to Chu Fan, which meant that the Canglan Empire would stand on the side of the Wei Kingdom in the future.
Because of Lin Pingzhi's betrayal, the Tianjian Sect of the Wilderness Country's Supreme Card, which had been auctioned at a huge price, also fell into Lin Pingzhi's hands. In order to avenge his family, Lin Pingzhi chose to defect to the Wei State, hoping to use the power of the Wei State to realize his revenge plan.
The Tianfeng Sect of Wei State was originally a force of Wei State, so they were originally part of Wei State.
The seven factions that defected to Wei were the same ones that had obtained the Royal Elegant Villa's Supreme Membership Card. After their leaders decided to defect to Wei, they often discussed how their respective factions could better integrate into the state and utilize Wei's resources to develop their own forces.
Yan Lie, the current leader of the Canglan Empire's Fire God Cult, asked, "Why did you all choose to join the Wei Kingdom?"
Shang Lu, the president of the Snow Region Chamber of Commerce in the northern border, asked Yan Lie meaningfully, "Isn't your Canglan Empire currently at war with the State of Wei? Why would the Fire God Cult choose to betray their own empire?"
The rulers of the other five forces also pricked up their ears to hear Yan Lie's answer, but Yan Lie gave them an answer they had never thought of.
Yan Lie said, "You may have chosen to join the Wei Kingdom for the sake of your own power development, but our Fire God Sect is different. We, the Fire God Sect, followed the orders of the previous queen and joined the Wei Kingdom."
As soon as Yan Lie said this, everyone prepared for battle. You have to know that the current war between the Canglan Empire and the State of Wei was started by the former empress of the Canglan Empire, and the Fire God Cult obeyed the former empress's orders and defected to the State of Wei. So it is very likely that the Fire God Cult is the Canglan Empire's internal accomplice in the State of Wei.
The five major factions had already decided to join the Wei Kingdom, so they had to consider the Wei Kingdom. If the Fire God Cult was truly an insider within the Canglan Empire, they would capture Yan Lie on the spot and hand him over to His Majesty the Emperor of Wei, who would then punish Yan Lie.
Seeing this, Yan Lie hurriedly said, "Everyone, hold on. I must have sufficient reasons for speaking so frankly. It's not too late to decide whether to attack me after you listen to my explanation."
People from other forces also knew that if Yan Lie was really an insider sent by Canglan Empire to Wei State, then he would not reveal his identity now. After all, this would not benefit either him or the Fire God Cult, so they all decided to see what explanation Yan Lie would give.
Yan Lie felt a little relieved when he saw that although everyone was still very wary of him, they did not come forward to take him down directly.
Yan Lie began to explain, "Since you have already defected to the Wei Kingdom, there are some things I should tell you. Otherwise, if you idiots go all out against all the forces of the Canglan Empire on the battlefield, it will ruin the plans of His Majesty the Emperor of Wei and the former Queen of the Canglan Empire."
Yan Lie's words shocked the rulers of these factions. They couldn't believe that the two warring nations actually had some hidden agenda. They all waited eagerly for Yan Lie's next words.
