"Fifty years of unconditional service?"
"Always maintain a united front?"
When Tang Yao heard these two conditions, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
He frowned and fell into deep thought. Such a harsh request was really hard to accept.
You know, this condition is almost equivalent to making the entire Tang Sect a vassal of the other party in the next fifty years!
These long years are undoubtedly a huge constraint and restriction for a sect.
Not only that, once time has passed, the Tang Sect must always stand on the same front with the other party and must not deviate in the slightest.
What’s even worse is that this agreement is also bound by the oath of heaven.
Even if the Tang Sect wanted to regret at that time, it would be absolutely impossible.
Because violating the oath to heaven will result in extremely severe punishment, and may even lead to the destruction of the entire sect.
"This opportunity is rare. My Tang Sect doesn't want it, but other forces may not."
Although these conditions seemed so harsh, Tang Yao knew very well that this might really be the only chance that the Tang Sect could seize at the moment.
If we miss it so easily, there may not be another similar opportunity in the next few decades.
Thinking of this, Tang Yao took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Di Jue with a firm gaze:
"Senior Di Jue, I can agree to these conditions on behalf of the Tang Sect, but we, the Tang Sect, also have a few small requests."
Di Jue raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue.
"First, during these fifty years, the Tang Sect can supply poisons and weapons to the Heavenly Demon Palace, but you must provide the materials yourself;
Second, the internal affairs of the Tang Sect shall still be handled by the Tang Sect itself, and no one shall interfere at will."
His request was very rational and would be of great help to the Tang Sect.
If they just keep sending troops unconditionally, the Tang Sect will be dragged down sooner or later and will become a permanent vassal.
After hearing this, Di Jue smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Interesting, I thought you would just blindly obey, but I didn't expect you would have such thoughts."
"However, these two requests are reasonable. I can agree to them."
Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two of them swore a heavenly oath in front of everyone.
A golden light flashed, and the contract was signed.
Everyone around was sighing, wondering how this alliance would change the world of martial arts in the future.
Tang Yao knew that this was both an opportunity and a challenge.
Whether the Tang Sect can rise rapidly within the next fifty years with the help of Emperor Jue's power depends on the subsequent layout and development.
Not only does the Heavenly Demon Palace have the idea of supporting other forces, but many other forces such as the Qin Dynasty do the same.
Qin Imperial Palace, inside the imperial study.
Emperor Qin Gu Jiuxiao was studying a scripture, with ideas popping up in his mind one after another.
Then, a bright starlight appeared before his eyes.
Under the influence of his spiritual power, these starlights continued to intertwine with each other and turned into seven stars.
"Seven sons are connected in heart, the Great Star Art is indeed extremely mysterious."
Gu Jiuxiao stared at the seven stars in front of him, his eyes were bright, and he said in an excited tone
Just when he wanted to take a closer look, he felt a trace of damage coming from his body. He couldn't help but stop the operation and said with regret:
"What a pity... My current body cannot bear the power of the stars, otherwise I would definitely be able to reach a higher level."
Before he could finish his reflection, Gu Qingshan rushed in from outside the palace impatiently.
"Brother, the precious land of the Hehuan Sect is now occupied by seven or eight major forces."
"Other top forces have already started to select one of them to support. Should our Qin Dynasty also invest in it?"
Gu Qingshan came running over, his face full of anxiety.
Behind him stood a young man wearing black armor, who was none other than the Qin Dynasty's God of War Dongfang Bai.
"I have seen your majesty."
Dongfang Bai knelt on one knee and saluted.
Gu Qingshan is Emperor Qin’s brother, so it might not matter if he loses some manners, but he is different.
It is hard not to have strange thoughts when a minister fails to show courtesy to the king.
Gu Jiuxiao closed his hand, and the seven stars in the sky disappeared.
He stood up, raised his hand slightly towards Dongfang Bai, and an invisible force lifted him up.
"My dear minister, please stand up. I was just practicing the Great Star Art and gained some insights.
As for the matter of the Hehuan Sect, I have already made a decision."
Gu Jiuxiao paced and thought, his eyes showing wisdom, "Let them fight each other this time, and the Qin Dynasty can just watch from the sidelines."
To stand on the sidelines means not to secretly support any forces and let others do it.
This made Gu Qingshan very anxious. He hurriedly said: “Brother, if we don’t participate now, it will give other forces a chance to surpass us, right?”
"If this continues, the hegemony of our Great Qin will be threatened."
Gu Jiuxiao remained unmoved and shook his head, "I have made up my mind. The Qin Dynasty should first consolidate its own strength."
Seeing that his brother was insisting, Gu Qingshan was confused but did not dare to say anything.
Dongfang Bai bowed and said, "I will obey your majesty's orders."
Gu Jiuxiao nodded slightly and said, "If there is nothing else, you can all leave!"
Gu Qingshan and Dongfang Bai agreed in unison and then left.
Gu Jiuxiao looked at their departing backs with a deep gaze, as if he had foreseen the storm that was about to surge in the world.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "Oh... expand the power?"
"Power, money, and resources are nothing. As long as the seal of heaven and earth is broken, I will be able to transcend this world and slowly return to my former peak..."
People all over the world were saying that Gu Jiuxiao was the reincarnation of a powerful being, and many people were skeptical.
Perhaps on the day when the first seal is released, the strong people on the continent will have the answer in their hearts.
Outside the palace.
Gu Qingshan and Dongfang Bai walked side by side, both of them had a bit of depression on their faces.
"Ah... I don't know why my brother doesn't intervene in this matter?"
"If we allow other forces to succeed, we will have created another powerful enemy for ourselves!"
Gu Qingshan complained as he walked.
Dongfang Bai beside him did not dare to say much, but replied in an official tone: "Your Majesty has his own considerations in mind, we just need to follow your orders."
"In two days, I will go to the south to stop the invasion of those demonic forces. I am afraid I will not be able to think about these things anymore."
"Qing Wang, troubled times are coming, you should improve your own strength!"
He took a step forward and left without looking back.
Gu Qingshan was also quite touched by these words, and sighed in his heart: "A blacksmith must be strong himself!"
