Chapter 1015: Endless Negotiations That Lead Nowhere
The day of the alliance meeting arrived, and the Martial Arts Alliance, led by Jian Shen, arrived at the mountain ahead of time, setting up their formation as if they were the home team, their morale soaring.
However, when the leader of the Xuanjian Sect arrived with the Xuanwu Alliance, seeing the opposition well-prepared, there was always a feeling of being suppressed in morale, which was unpleasant.
Jian Shen came forward to meet him, cupping his fists in a very cordial manner, then invited the leader of the Xuanjian Sect to take a seat.
The leader of the Xuanjian Sect didn’t hesitate and chose a good position to sit, seemingly assuming himself as the leader of the alliance. This attitude caused discomfort to Lu Bei and Jin Yi, as he was taking himself too seriously.
Jian Shen did not mind and then said, "This time our two factions form an alliance to deal with a common enemy, and I truly hope we can put aside all grudges for the greater good."
To this, the leader of the Xuanjian Sect shook his head, "Putting aside grudges is not really possible, after all, too many of our people have been pushed to desperation by you. It’s not you who have suffered the losses; you say to let it go, but that’s too easy."
Hearing this, Jian Shen knew he was not making a good impression, but still patiently asked, "What do you suggest then?"
The leader of Xuanjian Sect just smiled faintly, "Your side needs to offer us an apology and compensation."
"What?" Jian Shen frowned, knowing his people well, many of whom were leaders of prestigious factions who valued their dignity. How could they possibly apologize?
