Chapter 937: Chapter 415: Secret Meeting
Hearing Nie Sanling’s abuse, Nie Feng shrugged helplessly, “Brother, is that how you see me?”
Hearing Nie Feng’s retort, Nie Sanling snorted coldly, gradually recovering from his shock, and changed the topic, “Did you manage to come in unnoticed?”
“Of course, brother, you’re well aware of my stealth abilities.”
Indeed, Nie Feng has helped Nie Sanling steal or monitor secrets and key figures of other families multiple times. While his combat skills are average, his abilities in stealth and tracking are exceptional. He has completed hundreds of tasks for various families, never failing once.
Hearing Nie Feng’s words, Nie Sanling’s expression finally softened, and he asked, “Why did you leave Pear Mountain Hall and come out? Aren’t you afraid that someone will discover your identity and root both you and Pear Mountain Hall out completely?”
Upon hearing this, Nie Feng smiled slightly, “Brother, you’re joking. The world is in chaos now; who has the mind to care about matters of us four transcendent powers?”
“So…” Nie Sanling understood, these four forces that were once defeated see the tumult of the Nine Domains now and want to stand up again to share the pie.
“So I appeared here today,” Nie Feng continued, “This time, I came not as a son of the Nie Family, but as a spokesperson for the four transcendent powers, to communicate with Marshal Nie.”
“Four forces are just four forces now, what transcendent qualifications do they have? If they want to negotiate terms with me, they better clarify their status first.” Nie Sanling quickly changed his attitude towards Nie Feng, his gaze carrying a touch of mockery.
Damn, those four crippled forces, hiding in the dark corners, actually dared to seek collaboration with him? And they specially sent his brother?
What’s the deal?
Trying to seize his weakness?
Nie Sanling has always preferred to threaten others, not to be threatened himself.
Even if the threat comes from the closest person by his side, he can still resort to swords and knives, killing and eliminating to prevent future troubles.
Ever since Nie Feng posed himself as aligned with the four transcendent forces, Nie Sanling developed the intent to kill his brother.
Having spent a hundred years with Nie Sanling, Nie Feng naturally perceived the vast murderous intent beneath Nie Sanling’s calm demeanor.
However, Nie Feng was not surprised by this. The four transcendent forces had been collectively resisted and attacked by all families within the Nine Domains years ago.
Now, if it circulated within the Nine Domains that a family had colluded with the four transcendent forces with solid evidence, that family would be nearing its end.
Even the once-thriving Tian Sheng Family stepped down from the pedestal because of it, let alone those small houses and insignificant people.
As soon as Nie Feng’s role as the spokesperson for the four transcendent powers is exposed, even with Nie Sanling’s exceptional abilities, he would likely incur public indignation and be compelled by the Six Domains Alliance to relinquish his position as Alliance Hierarch.
“Marshal Nie, actually the initial person our side planned to send wasn’t me, but considering different influences, the Hall Masters ultimately chose me.” Nie Feng pointed out discreetly that he was compelled to come due to his excellent stealth abilities, not because of any intimidation from the four transcendent powers towards Nie Sanling.
However, this statement still didn’t change Nie Sanling’s attitude, and he said lightly, “Just speak directly, but I hope you’re mentally prepared. I, Nie Sanling, dislike any threats; you were once a Nie Family member, you should know it well.”
“I know.”
Nie Feng fell into silence and after a while spoke, “This time, I represent the four Hall Masters to discuss cooperation with Marshal Nie.”
“Have you thought it through?” Nie Sanling asked again, frowning and shouting lowly towards Nie Feng.
In response, Nie Feng laughed freely, “I should have died a long time ago, but owing to the master and the family, I barely survived until now. It’s just to make amends for the master and the family; if this matter can be accomplished, I, Nie Feng, would die without regrets.”
Hearing these words, Nie Sanling’s expression finally showed some emotion, then he sighed, “You… speak then!”
After receiving permission from Nie Sanling, Nie Feng continued, “The Nine Realms Dynasty has sneakily deployed troops in two realms, disrupting the stability of the Six Domains Alliance’s rear guard, which we have uncovered. The Hall Masters see this as a prime opportunity to fish in troubled waters, hence intending to collaborate with Marshal Nie.”
“What kind of cooperation?”
“It’s that our four transcendent forces plan, under the guise of the Nine Realms Dynasty, to assist Marshal Nie in removing dissent within the Six Domains Alliance one by one, thereby solidifying Marshal Nie’s position and interests. I wonder if Marshal Nie is willing to accept the aid from our four transcendent forces?”
“Help me remove dissent?” Nie Sanling laughed. He wasn’t a fool and immediately understood the intention of the four transcendent forces.
One has to say, the timing chosen by these four transcendent powers is exceptionally perfect. These four once transcendent beings, reigning above all heavens, have been knocked off their pedestal. To say they had no thought of revenge, not even a dog would believe it.
And if they seize this opportunity for revenge, it truly is enough. These four transcendent forces only need to mimic Solomon’s actions, bloodbath family forces in various domains, and seize their internal resources. Afterwards, they wouldn’t even need to frame it; those families would automatically shift their hatred to the Nine Realms Dynasty.
The revenge achieved, and the resources gained, is joy on all accounts.
Moreover, the four transcendent forces seem to want more than mere revenge and resource gathering. If it were only for the aforementioned, they wouldn’t have needed to send someone specifically to negotiate with Nie Sanling – they could have just acted directly.
The reason for sending Nie Feng to connect with Nie Sanling demonstrates a more greedy purpose.
“Do you four forces want restoration?”
Upon hearing Nie Sanling’s words, Nie Feng chuckled, “Marshal Nie has a sharp eye, easily seeing through the Hall Masters’ thoughts!”
“Indeed,” Nie Feng admitted, “Our four transcendent forces naturally don’t wish to remain tucked away forever. The glory once belonging to the four forces must be reclaimed!”
“Heh,” Nie Sanling sneered upon hearing, “Wishful thinking.”
“Not at all,” Nie Feng shook his head with a smile, “The Nine Domains is too vast; if Marshal Nie doesn’t establish a dynasty, he can’t possibly control all heavens. And if a dynasty is established, isn’t it akin to following the old path of the Nine Realms Dynasty? Only cooperation can bring mutual benefit.”
“You mean the four forces want to divide the world with my Nie Family?”
“The world is too vast; we only wish to divide the Sky Domain.”
“Divide the Sky Domain,” Nie Sanling mocked, “Who gave you the nerve? You deemed perpetrating vermin actually wish to reestablish themselves in the Sky Domain. I believe as soon as you dare to stand out again, you’ll fare no better than the Nine Realms Dynasty.”
“Times have changed; the inner turmoil in the Nine Domains is severe now, and external threats are equally substantial. Regarding the recent news about Night Hunting Pass, I wonder if Marshal Nie is aware?”
“Night Hunting Pass?” Nie Sanling’s demeanor shifted slightly, “What’s happened?”
“Eighteen Realm Kings simultaneously raised armies and invaded Night Hunting Pass. The Night King led troops against them, resulting in severe injuries to both the Night King and the Eighteen Realm Kings. Night Hunting Pass is now a battleground, its severity rivaling that of the Sky Domain.”
“Eighteen realms simultaneously raised armies?!” Nie Sanling froze, a chill creeping into his heart instantly.
Except for trade periods, Night Hunting Pass is nearly always under closed management, making information scarce. If they don’t actively release news, outsiders are almost incapable of learning about internal situations.
Therefore, the Nine Domains families guessed Night Hunting Pass might be under attack but didn’t speculate the worst-case scenario, as the Eighteen Realm Kings had mutual gaps, usually battled separately. To say three or four collaborated might be plausible, but damn, eighteen realm kings joining forces simultaneously has never occurred in the history of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, not even during the years when the four transcendent powers commanded various families to jointly raise armies against the Eighteen Realms.
Are the Eighteen Realms strong? Absolutely strong. If they join forces, over fifty percent of the Nine Domains’ families would need to band together to counter them. Most crucially, these entities have no war constraints; the Heavenly God’s battle power would be perfectly unleashed. If a war erupts in the Great World, surroundings would face devastating impacts.
The Eighteen Realms teaming up now, this news is enough to make Nie Sanling uneasy, unable to settle his mind.
