Chapter 976: Heavenly Fire Joins, A Western District General Agent

Not only did the Heavenly Fire Sect hear Qin Xiao’s words, but the guests present also heard them.

“Not good, this Heavenly Fire Sect is going to board the ship before us. We’ve lost the initiative once more.”

“Heavenly Fire Sect really got lucky this time. After causing such a big incident, Qin Xiao not only didn’t deal with them, but is even giving them an opportunity. They really have good fortune.”

“Yes, if it were me, I’d agree immediately.”

“Everyone, just wait and see. Do you think Heavenly Fire Sect is like the forces we belong to? They are the dominant force in the Southern Region’s Western District. How could they so easily submit to Qin Xiao?”

Some felt Heavenly Fire Sect had stumbled upon a great bargain, while others believed Heavenly Fire Sect would never agree.

If they didn’t agree, at most they would offend Qin Xiao, yet they would still remain the strongest force in the Southern Region’s Western District. But if they agreed, they would become an affiliated force under Seven Stars Tower. Which outcome carried more weight was something Heavenly Fire Sect had to carefully consider.

Moreover, as long as Heavenly Fire Sect refused to agree, Qin Xiao wouldn’t dare take forceful action. Truthfully speaking, Heavenly Fire Sect should be considered an underling force of South Emperor Mountain, since the entire Southern Region is primarily led by South Emperor Mountain, and Shuang Gong, the Elder from South Emperor Mountain, was still right here.

Of course, if Heavenly Fire Sect voluntarily joined Seven Stars Tower, South Emperor Mountain would have no right to interfere.

Heavenly Fire Sect’s submission to South Emperor Mountain did not mean Heavenly Fire Sect had lost its sovereignty.

However, if Heavenly Fire Sect disagreed, Qin Xiao couldn’t force them either. As long as Heavenly Fire Sect sought aid from South Emperor Mountain, South Emperor Mountain would definitely intervene. By then, it would become a matter between Seven Stars Tower and South Emperor Mountain, meaning Heavenly Fire Sect was far from out of options.

The intricacies of these relationships were naturally clear to Yuan Xuezhen as the Sect Master of Heavenly Fire Sect. That was why he didn’t give Qin Xiao an immediate answer, instead falling into deep contemplation.

“What? Are you still holding out for a better price? Or are you worried about South Emperor Mountain?”
