CHAPTER 1546: CHAPTER 1545: THE ASSURANCE OF THE SECOND ELDER (3 UPDATES)

A few members of the Great Might Dragon Gate grabbed the person from Horizon’s End. Upon hearing Wu Zheng’s words, they released that person immediately.

Wu Zheng himself wore a smile and approached directly, "Elder Two, Young Master Ki, you should have informed us beforehand. Look at this situation; anyone unaware might think there is some misunderstanding between us!"

Elder Two and Ki Yongchuan were continuously observing Su Yang, and although Su Yang wasn’t sure about the credibility of Wu Zheng’s words, he went along with the act, his expression somewhat serious as if he hadn’t achieved the desired result.

Seeing Su Yang’s expression, both Elder Two and Ki Yongchuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Su Yang failed, their chances became much greater!

"Alliance Leader Su, we won’t see you out," Wu Zheng said with an earnest smile, "Consider carefully what I mentioned earlier!"

With a cold gaze, Su Yang walked away without looking back.

This made Elder Two and Ki Yongchuan smirk even more; it was clear they had not reached an agreement!

After sending off Su Yang and the others, Wu Zheng then turned to Elder Two and Ki Yongchuan, "Elder Two, Young Master Ki, shall we continue our discussion?"

The two exchanged a glance and both laughed again. Wu Zheng’s words made it clear that his talks with Su Yang hadn’t been suitable.

"Protector Wu, rest assured with the terms we’ve offered!" Elder Two said with a smile, "That Su fellow couldn’t possibly offer such terms."

Wu Zheng smiled as he led them into the hall, while having tea served, he said with a hint of worry, "Though you say that, it’s true that Su Yang has considerable support. There’s no need to mention the Martial God Altar and Thousand Snow Palace, plus the Hidden Sword Pavilion, being well-connected to the Martial God Altar, will definitely support him. Jade Maiden Peak has already publicly declared its support for him. Moreover, lately, Qinghe Academy and the Innate Sect have been quite close; this means he practically has five votes already."

Wu Zheng looked at the two again, "Even if I support you, the outcome would just be a tie of five votes to five. The rules of the world wouldn’t change, and next, Qinghe Academy will start targeting the Ten Great Sects. Though your terms are attractive, I must think about the future of the Great Might Dragon Gate, right?"

"Heh..." Elder Two sneered coldly, "I’ve made it very clear earlier that if you choose to support us, we will surely win this time. The rules of the world must change!"

"Really?" Wu Zheng’s eyes lit up, looking at Elder Two with delight, "Elder Two, are you entirely confident?"

"If I weren’t entirely confident, why would I discuss this with you?" Elder Two retorted.

Wu Zheng stared at Elder Two for a while, as if pondering whether his words were true or false. Finally, he shook his head, "Elder Two, can you disclose a bit about it? It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter concerns the future of the Great Might Dragon Gate, and I have to be cautious!"

Elder Two contemplated briefly and slowly shook his head, "Protector Wu, I can only tell you that I am fully confident, but I cannot reveal our plan. This matter is too intricately linked, and it must only be unveiled at the crucial moment. Thus, I hope you can understand and make a wise choice!"

Wu Zheng furrowed his brows, clearly dissatisfied with Elder Two’s answer, and said coldly, "Of course, I want to make a wise choice, but determining what constitutes a wise choice requires judgment. Elder Two, you repeatedly say you’re confident, yet I know nothing, how can I trust you? Don’t forget, this matter affects the future of the Great Might Dragon Gate; can I make such a decision lightly?"

Beside him, Ki Yongchuan couldn’t help but speak up, "If you truly care about the future of the Great Might Dragon Gate, I advise you to support us. If you choose correctly this time, the Great Might Dragon Gate will undoubtedly benefit greatly in the future. If you choose wrongly, heh, I’m afraid the Great Might Dragon Gate won’t even be able to exist!"

Wu Zheng’s expression turned cold as he glanced at Ki Yongchuan, "Is Young Qi trying to scare me?"

Ki Yongchuan was about to say something, but Elder Two quickly intervened, "Protector Wu, you’ve misunderstood, Young Qi was only considering your interests. After all, this matter affects the world’s future structure, and one mustn’t make decisions lightly!"

Ignoring Ki Yongchuan, Wu Zheng said in a heavy voice, "I need to discuss this matter with the Sect Leader. The final decision will be made by the Sect Leader. So, I apologize, but I won’t be keeping you any longer!"

With that, Wu Zheng flicked his sleeves and left, looking obviously displeased with them.

Elder Two was a bit anxious; they had to secure the support of the Great Might Dragon Gate. Ki Yongchuan’s words just now had clearly offended Wu Zheng. If Wu Zheng chose to support Su Yang because of this, it would be troublesome for their four sects.

Elder Two contemplated whether to share some of their circumstances with Wu Zheng. However, he eventually dismissed the idea; their plan couldn’t be exposed in advance.

But how to alleviate Wu Zheng’s dissatisfaction?

After thinking for a while, Elder Two suddenly stepped forward, stopping Wu Zheng, and smiled, "Protector Wu, how about this? I’ll give you some elixirs to present to the Sect Leader. This way, it will be more convincing!"

As he spoke, Elder Two winked at Wu Zheng, showing an expression that conveyed more than words could say.

Being a smart man, Wu Zheng was initially startled, but quickly understood his intention and immediately smiled along.

"This method might actually work." Elder Two promptly took out several bottles of elixirs from his person and handed them to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng collected the elixirs and smiled even more brightly, "Elder Two, rest assured, I will definitely communicate this matter to the Sect Leader!"

"Thank you very much!" Elder Two was overjoyed, cupping his hands, "Protector Wu, we’ll await your good news, farewell!"

"No need to see us out!" Wu Zheng replied with a smile.

Full of joy, Elder Two led Ki Yongchuan out of the Great Might Dragon Gate’s area, while Ki Yongchuan’s expression remained displeased. After some time, he couldn’t help but turn to look at Elder Two.

"Elder Two, did you really give him that many elixirs?" Ki Yongchuan looked quite discontent; those were precious elixirs like the Immortal Essence Pill, Great Luo Golden Pill, and Qi Suppressing Pill.

Though all the sects now knew how to refine these elixirs, in reality, the scarcity of raw materials and the limitation of refining speed meant that no sect could produce them indefinitely.

For any sect, casually taking out one bottle of these elixirs still held significant value. Elder Two had given Wu Zheng seven or eight bottles at once, so naturally, Ki Yongchuan felt indignant.
