After all, in ordinary factions, even if there were internal conflicts, it would never reach the point where both sides wanted to kill each other. After all, every time a faction loses a high-end combatant, a massive risk is added.
So, although many factions might scheme and plot against each other internally, once they faced an external enemy, they would quickly unite.
But for a faction like Qing Mu Mansion to take the initiative to work with outsiders against their own experts, such cases were extremely rare.
"But how do we know you're not saying this on purpose, trying to lure us over so you can wipe us out in one fell swoop?"
At this moment, Xiao Yixian suddenly spoke.
Hearing her question, the young man did not show any panic. Before coming here, he had already expected this problem might arise.
After all, the two sides were completely unfamiliar with each other. For the other side to be suspicious of them was only natural.
That young man, named Ye Wensen, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Everything I've said is the truth, and I have no intention of deceiving you.
And according to the news we've received, after Ye Huaicheng clashed with you, he has already recalled his right-hand man, the Second Elder, who is a Two-Star Dou Zun. I'm afraid he's waiting for you to leave Sha Huang City, so he can finish you all off at once."
"Since we are both weak and isolated, why don't we join forces against Ye Huaicheng!"
As he spoke, Ye Wensen's hands clenched unconsciously. Ever since he could remember, he had always lived in Ye Huaicheng's shadow. He had truly had enough of those days filled with fear!
When Lin Feng and the others heard this, their hearts sank heavily. Just dealing with Ye Huaicheng alone was already difficult.
If that Two-Star Dou Zun Second Elder of Qing Mu Mansion joined hands with Ye Huaicheng, then if they ran into the two of them unprepared, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.
Immediately after, Lin Feng asked, "And your grandfather, what realm is he at?"
"Six-Star Dou Zun."
Hearing the question, Ye Wensen quickly replied.
"Six-Star, huh."
After listening to the young man's words, Lin Feng lowered his head in deep thought.
If Xiao Yixian could cooperate with the Mansion Lord of Qing Mu Mansion, their strength would be enough to hold off Ye Huaicheng.
And with Tian Huo Zun Zhe at the peak of Three-Star Dou Zun, together with the several Dou Zun-level Sky Demon Puppets he had on hand, dealing with that Two-Star Dou Zun Second Elder of Qing Mu Mansion would also be more than sufficient.
After a moment, Lin Feng raised his head and said to the former, "Alright, we'll agree to this. But, if we succeed in killing Ye Huaicheng, his body will belong to me."
"Fine, but his ring, our Qing Mu Mansion must take it back, since inside it holds our mansion's unique Dou Techniques."
At first, Ye Wensen was overjoyed, but when he heard Lin Feng's rather strange demand, he looked slightly puzzled.
However, after thinking it over briefly, he agreed. After all, Ye Huaicheng's corpse was of little use to them. Since the other side wanted it, it didn't matter to give it away.
As long as he recovered Ye Huaicheng's ring, ensuring their mansion's Dou Techniques did not leak out, then everything was fine.
"Alright."
Lin Feng nodded slightly and agreed.
Seeing him agree, Ye Wensen's face instantly couldn't hide his ecstatic joy. Their Mansion Lord's faction had been suppressed for so long, finally there was a glimmer of hope to rise again.
Although he also knew that once Ye Huaicheng died, the surrounding factions would definitely take the chance to swallow up much of Qing Mu Mansion's territory.
But compared to the lives of himself and his grandfather, that territory was not nearly as important.
"This is a Spatial Jade Slip my grandfather prepared, when the time is right, crush this jade slip and my grandfather will immediately arrive."
After his excitement settled, Ye Wensen quickly regained his composure, took out a palm-sized jade slip from his ring and spoke.
As he talked, he handed the jade slip to Lin Feng. Lin Feng also accepted it and stored it away in his ring.
"Since everything is settled, I'll take my leave now."
With the matter concluded, Ye Wensen rose to his feet and addressed them.
"Hehe, please, go ahead."
Lin Feng did not keep them, smiling faintly. Soon after, Ye Wensen left the room together with Ye Boqing.
"Lin Feng, can those two really be trusted?"
Once the door to the room had completely closed, Xiao Yixian turned her gaze to Lin Feng beside her and asked.
"Hehe, I can't guarantee they're completely trustworthy, but since the initiative is in our hands, we can prepare some contingencies. If it's true, we'll work together against Ye Huaicheng. If it's a trap, we'll pull out immediately."
As he spoke, Lin Feng leaned back into the sofa.
Then he tightened his arms around the two girls in his embrace, letting them rest against him, and continued, "But, I feel this is very likely to be true."
"Why?"
Hearing the confidence in his tone, Feng Qing'er raised her gem-like violet-brown eyes at him, puzzled.
"If Ye Wensen was really on the same side as Ye Huaicheng, there would be no need for him to come here at all. They could simply hide and, when we let our guard down, strike together with Ye Huaicheng."
At this moment, Tian Huo Zun Zhe, who was sitting nearby, spoke.
"Yao Lao is right. If they were working together, then today's move is completely unnecessary. With a Seven-Star Dou Zun Great Elder, a Six-Star Dou Zun Mansion Lord, and a Three-Star Dou Zun Second Elder, the three of them joining forces, based on the strength we've revealed, we'd have no chance of resisting. Why waste all this effort?"
Lin Feng reached out and lightly pinched Feng Qing'er's delicate cheek, smiling.
"Hmph, you're so annoying."
Seeing this, Feng Qing'er swatted his hand away with a little strength, muttering.
"Next up, is one of the final items in our Xuandu Chamber of Commerce's auction this time, a treasure that even Dou Zun experts covet!"
Just as Lin Feng was about to say more, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the auction hall below.
Hearing the auctioneer's announcement, Lin Feng and the others instantly turned their attention toward the hall.
At this moment, on the wooden table in front of the auctioneer below, at some unknown point, a trapped weasel had appeared.
And the instant that weasel appeared, many of the more knowledgeable people present recognized its true identity.
In a flash, the eyes of ninety-nine percent of the people present locked onto that weasel. And among them, were also the Dou Zun experts in the VIP rooms above!
At this moment, the auctioneer, a woman in revealing clothes with a graceful figure, suddenly seemed worthless in the eyes of many.
After all, compared to strength, what was beauty worth.
