Chapter 214 Alliance! The Golden Core Black Family
"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely work harder in the next few years to improve my alchemy skills."
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Su Qingzhu from the Su family has been staying at my Xia family for almost a month now, but the people sent by the Hei family have disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea. Do you think something might have happened to them?"
Xia Yuhui frowned upon hearing this. Since the attack on Heshan County, the alliance between the Xia family and the Su family was already well known to others, but it would be difficult for the two families alone to resist the attack of the Chu army.
Therefore, the Hei family extended an olive branch to both families, seeking an alliance, and the Xia and Su families readily agreed, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
Therefore, Su Qingzhu from the Su family came to the Xia family. The three families had already agreed to discuss the alliance at the Xia family.
But now, the agreed time has long passed, and the people sent by the Hei family have yet to appear.
"Let's send a few people to investigate. If we don't encounter anyone from the Hei family on the way, then something has probably really happened."
"Well, that's all we can do. I'll go make the arrangements now." With that, he got up and left.
Not long after Xia Yuhui left, Xia Guangyang arrived at Xia Yuhui's cave.
"Yu Hui, here are the materials you requested. After years of painstaking searching, I have collected eight sets," Xia Guangyang said.
These materials are all exceptionally precious Tier 2 materials, and one of them is a material for crafting Tier 2 puppet beasts.
In recent years, the Xia family's treasury has been like a treasure bowl, with spirit stones constantly flowing into it. Xia Yuhui made a decisive move and sent people to collect various materials, intending to refine several spiritual artifacts to give the Xia family members wings and make them even stronger.
Of course, in doing so, he can also gain a considerable amount of contribution points, and these contribution points will certainly be quite substantial.
Even though he currently possesses a huge amount of contribution points, he will eventually run out of them. Therefore, earning more is ultimately a beneficial and harmless thing.
After receiving the materials, Xia Yuhui had a long talk with Xia Guangyang, recounting all the events that had occurred during his two and a half years of seclusion.
After he finished understanding, he rushed to the weapon-refining room without stopping.
Half a month later.
Xia Yuhui had just finished refining a magical artifact and was about to take a short rest when Wang Liangxing, who had been waiting outside for a long time, impatiently interrupted him.
"Master, the Grand Elder has something important to report. He says that someone from the Hei family has arrived and he wants you to go and meet them immediately."
Helpless, Xia Yuhui had no choice but to leave in a huff. Before leaving, he distributed some spirit pills and spirit stones to each of the two boys, and then rushed towards the family council hall like lightning.
A dozen or so breaths later, he arrived at the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Lei."
"Fellow Daoist Chi Lei!"
"Clan leader."
"Fellow Daoists, please don't be so polite. Please take a seat." With that, he flashed and sat down in the main seat.
Xia Yuhui stared intently at the newcomer from the Hei family and was somewhat surprised to find that it was Hei Canghai, who had visited before.
Accompanying him were two cultivators from the Hei family, both at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"I am truly sorry, Fellow Daoist Chi Lei. I shouldn't have come this time, but the cultivators who came to form an alliance last time were ambushed, which caused the delay. I hope you can forgive me."
"Oh, is that so? In this ancient kingdom, someone dared to attack a noble? I wonder if those people have been captured and brought to justice?" Xia Yuhui said with a face full of suspicion.
"Hehe, those people are exceptionally strong, they must be from Golden Core factions, which is why we haven't been able to capture them," Hei Canghai said softly with a smile.
He knew that Xia Yuhui's move was a test of the Hei family's strength; however, the Hei family had already proven themselves with their strength.
A year ago, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Hei Family and Zhu Qingren, a Golden Core True Person of the Guiyun Sect, secretly fought a fierce battle. The result was that they were evenly matched. In the end, Hei Zhenlong, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Hei Family, used a secret technique to record that thrilling battle.
After that, the Hei family distributed the memory stones one by one to the families and forces that were still observing.
The Xia and Su families naturally became their primary focus. Sure enough, after learning that the Black family patriarch could rival a Golden Core cultivator from the Guiyun Sect, the two families resolutely chose to form an alliance.
Not only that, but many other cultivation families followed suit, and now it can be said that half of the ancient kingdom is under the control of the Hei family.
The Black family's move not only successfully dispelled the doubts of the various immortal cultivation families in the ancient kingdom, but also made the Guiyun Sect wary.
It can be said that it was through this battle that the Hei family truly rose to the ranks of the Golden Core faction.
Upon hearing this answer, Xia Yuhui's expression stiffened.
To be fair, he did underestimate the Hei family. According to his speculation, the Hei family's Golden Core ancestor probably did not break through to the Golden Core stage in recent years. Perhaps he had already broken through long ago, but had been keeping a low profile and waiting for the right opportunity.
That day, he was in seclusion when Xia Guangchang urgently delivered the intelligence to him, which he could hardly believe.
After confirming that the information was absolutely accurate, Xia Yuhui quickly wrote a letter and sent it to the Su family.
Since the Black Family's Golden Core Ancestor was able to contend with the Golden Core cultivators of the Guiyun Sect, the power distribution in Jinling County was no longer a situation of one strong and one weak, but rather a struggle between two strong forces.
In such fierce battles, it is often not the two sides that suffer, but the weaker forces caught in the middle.
After all, with several jackals eyeing him menacingly, if he were to be seriously injured and weakened during a battle with his enemies, wouldn't the jackals have an opportunity to take advantage of him?
Therefore, neither side wants to see this happen.
Recently, the Xia family and the Guiyun Sect have been at odds, and joining the Guiyuan Sect would hardly yield good results, so they resolutely chose the Hei family, which is also a powerful family force...
"Now that Fellow Daoist Canghai has arrived safely, let's get straight to the point and discuss the alliance. This is the result of our Su family and Xia family's painstaking discussions over the past few days."
Su Qingzhu interrupted the two with a smile and then presented them with a jade slip.
The Su family was already impatient. When he arrived, the Su family's spies noticed that the Chu Kingdom seemed to be stirring again, obviously brewing a new round of invasion.
If they don't form an alliance soon, the Su family will likely lose a large number of cultivators.
Hei Canghai also picked up the jade slip with a smile and carefully examined its contents. There were many terms and conditions, among which the most important was that after the alliance was formed, the Hei family would follow the lead of the Hei family, but the Hei family would not interfere in the internal affairs of other families.
If one of the allied forces is attacked by other forces, the Hei family must take the lead in providing support. Of course, since the Hei family is a Golden Core force and belongs to the side of protection, the Xia family and the Su family must pay a huge amount of resources every year.
Of course, this amount of resources is insignificant compared to the resources previously supplied to Guiyun Sect.
From now on, the territory controlled by the Xia family in Jinling County and Heshan County will nominally become the sphere of influence of the Hei family.
One crucial point is that if the Hei family summons cultivators from both families to fight, they must send two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above to participate in the battle. Furthermore, if they encounter major battles, such as those involving powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators like Xia Yuhui and the Su family patriarch, they must not shirk their responsibilities.
These terms were meticulously crafted by the Xia and Su families based on the Hei family's version after the Hei family sent them to the two families. They can be said to be impartial, fair and just.
