Chapter 1566: Allying With Zhao Against Li
"Thank you for the compliment, but your skin really is far too thick."
Faced with Li Luo's response, Qin Yi didn't know wether to laugh or to cry. A normal person would be much more humble, while Li Luo was so different, she didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Did you just say that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin plans to ally with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao?" Li Luo asked with a grin.
Qin Yi nodded. "Palace Master Zhongyuan prepared two possible paths for us. Since the alliance fell through, he will seek to join hands with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao to beat back the Other Disaster and quickly conquer and divide the territories. This isn't some huge secret. After all, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao has already dispatched numerous Pinnacle Dukes, and once the two sides have reached an agreement, they will launch a counterattack to retake all the areas occupied by the Other Disaster. The places that used to be in the neutral zone are of utmost importance, of course. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin has suffered great losses and requires large amounts of resources and territory to recover. Palace Master Zhongyuan also plans to solidify his position. Although I favor you, once the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin decides to make a move, I will utilize the Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation at full power to support them. If there are any disputes, I will not show any mercy."
Li Luo frowned. "The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin is just inviting wolves into their home. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao's territory is far away from our two powers. If they are allowed to take root here, the situation will become even more chaotic in the future."
"It's nothing more than an alliance to deal with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, especially after we've realized that you and Jiang Qing'e are sixth-grade Transcendent Dukes. Perhaps it might even encourage them to speed up their cooperation with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. Otherwise, once the two of you successfully become true Transcendent Dukes, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's strength will be greatly enhanced, posing a threat to us," Qin Yi explained nonchalantly.
"Since you know how strong the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is, why not humble yourself and cooperate with us?" Li Luo asked.
"Perhaps if your family didn't exist, the chances of cooperation would have increased," Qin Yi replied after pausing for a few moments.
Their family, ever since Li Taixuan's generation, had sown enmity with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. Tantai Lan had returned as a Greater Transcendent Duke while Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were on the rise. This only deepened the fear the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin held towards them.
"If you were in my position, would you think that I would have liked to cooperate with you? It's only because reason supersedes my emotions at this point in time," she said nonchalantly.
Li Luo sighed helplessly. "You saw what your mother did and what happened to her. If I had not killed her, she would have massacred all of us, including the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. Not everything can be blamed on me."
