Chapter 671: Chapter 621: Negotiating with the Tiger for its Skin
The Witch God Sect Leader was very confident in persuading Pei Xuanjing to cooperate, as there was no grudge or animosity between them.
Perhaps some people may think that Wu Shijiu is a defector from the Witch Deity Teaching, and since Wu Shijiu has a close relationship with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and is acquainted with Pei Xuanjing, it would seem as though Pei Xuanjing and the Witch Deity Teaching ought to be on opposing sides.
This is not true, it’s just a misunderstanding. Wu Shijiu and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty are intertwined due to mutual interests and not necessarily because of a deep-seated bond. Even if there were such a bond, how would it matter?
Despite being the National Teacher of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing primarily identifies as the leader of the Taoist School and the head of the Shenxiao Sect. His connection with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is also primarily based on mutual interests.
After studying Pei Xuanjing’s numerous experiences, the Witch God Sect Leader concluded that Pei Xuanjing values many things, and like other strong characters, he sets his sights on exploring the Immortal Path and seeking longevity.
It must be known that during Pei Xuanjing’s rise, he had disputes with numerous forces, including the Great Ming Imperial Family and the Demonic Cult. However, when a common goal and shared interests were at stake, Pei Xuanjing was willing to cooperate.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing is not the sort of character who only prizes himself and is inflexible in his ways. As long as one doesn’t cross his bottom line, and when there are shared interests, both parties can come together.
“It seems the Sect Leader knows me well.” Pei Xuanjing responded to the Witch God Sect Leader’s statement with a light chuckle, not indicating approval or disapproval.
Indeed, he had no grudges against the Witch Deity Teaching. The reason he had originally viewed the Witch Deity Teaching as a probable opponent was that he had accepted a favor from Wu Shijiu, promising protection, and thus needed to be prepared against the Witch Deity Teaching.
