Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 260 - 145: Purple Demon Flame and Thousand Ghost Banner

"I already understand the process! You may leave!"

It was only after a long while that Zheng Yi slowly spoke.

The Xin Clan Elder felt a bit disappointed, and responded loudly.

"The Xin Family earnestly implores the Alliance Leader to take action! I take my leave now."

As he spoke, the Xin Clan Elder got up and left, and the hall returned to its calm state.

Gazing at the slightly frowning Alliance Leader, Qi Lin spoke softly.

"Sir, I feel we can attempt to negotiate with the Nine Yin Hall. After all, that woman from the Xin Family has no direct dealings with the Nine Yin Hall; she's only being held due to the Qin Family's warrant and incentives, so there's room for maneuver."

"Furthermore, I heard that behind the Qin Family is the Golden Palace Sect, which has quite a few disagreements with the Nine Yin Hall. The Nine Yin Hall currently seems to be holding leverage..."

"As for the Xin Family, they're indeed skilled in artifact refining, holding a complete set of refining heritage that includes not only Qi Cultivation Level but also Foundation Establishment refining techniques. I've heard they even delve into higher levels, but those secrets are only held within the core lineage of the Xin Family, and now only Xin Lingxian knows. The Xin Family will spare no costs, and are so eager to rescue this woman—this seems to be a significant reason. Nowadays, the Daluo Alliance lacks such talent, hope you can consider this, sir."

As a subordinate, Qi Lin understood very well that his role as a steward was ultimately to alleviate his master's worries, hence he offered this impartial suggestion.

"Alright, I'll consider it further, you may leave now!"

With a wave of the hand, Qi Lin took his leave.

Moments later, only Zheng Yi was left sitting in the hall, pondering!

...

The Nine Yin Hall, a powerful sect with several Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, its strength enough to rival the Star-devouring Demon City which previously backed the Soul Catching Sect. Zheng Yi had witnessed the Nine Yin Hall's power in Yanyin City before.

Though the Daluo Alliance is developing well, boasting as many as seven or eight nominal Foundation Establishment cultivators, surpassing those old Foundation Establishment forces that had developed for hundreds of years.

But in comparison to the Nine Yin Hall, it was still far from enough.

Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment forces are originally two different concepts.

Of course, the Daluo Alliance now has quite a presence, and when relating with the Nine Yin Hall, the other side would hardly refuse to show some respect. Moreover, in retrieving the Xin Family Patriarch Xin Lingxian, Zheng Yi doesn't aim to create a rift with the Nine Yin Hall; on the contrary, he needs to weigh whether forming an alliance with the Nine Yin Hall is beneficial.

To put it simply, the Qin Family, which monopolizes the Xin Clan's White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore, is just a well-established Foundation Establishment Clan, no matter how formidable.

If facing only the Qin Family, Zheng Yi absolutely wouldn't care, even looking twice at them would be an elevation to Qin Family's worth.

After all, with the current strength and influence of the Daluo Alliance, regular Foundation Establishment forces are not a concern, especially since that shown strength is just on the surface.

After three years of secluded cultivation, gaining the benevolence of the Yin Yang Acupoints, Zheng Yi's personal strength is like a crocodile hidden beneath the waters.

With his power at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and methods and Divine Soul Power surpassing same-level opponents, alongside magical treasure advantages, he could single-handedly annihilate a Foundation Establishment Clan without exaggeration, possessing this level of crushing power.

Even if the Qin Family had Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, unless they reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection level, it wouldn't be much effort for Zheng Yi to handle the Qin Family with ease.

These matters were of no concern.

However, with the Golden Palace Sect standing behind the Qin Family, the situation becomes somewhat different, for the Golden Palace Sect is also a powerful sect with Purple Mansion Stage cultivators.

According to the received intelligence, the Qin Family mines vast amounts of White Yi Sword Qi Ore intended for the Golden Palace Sect, with only a small portion going to the Qin Family.

It's certain, if the Daluo Alliance chooses to start a war with the Qin Family, the Golden Palace Sect will inevitably intervene.

By then, the Daluo Alliance does not have the means to withstand the Golden Palace Sect's attack, hence it must find an exceptionally powerful ally to balance the Golden Palace Sect's combat strength.

Based on the Daluo Alliance's investigation, there's some animosity between the Golden Palace Sect and the Nine Yin Hall, and they don't get along. If the White Yi Sword Qi Ore is presented as a gift, it's very likely to secure assistance from the Nine Yin Hall.

Because not many years ago, after the theft from their warehouse in Yanyin City leading to a massive loss of precious treasures, the Nine Yin Hall, aside from their losses, compensated countless amounts and need valuable items to recoup the losses.

On this point, Zheng Yi is certain, it's challenging for the Nine Yin Hall to refuse.

After all, Demon Dao cultivators and sects don't have that many restrictions, they act heedlessly, not caring much about etiquette or shame.

By then, if Zheng Yi has substantial respect, proposing to exchange the Xin Family patriarch Xin Lingxian back shouldn't be a significant problem.

Thus, overall, resolving this whole matter seems possible.

Moreover, it's a two-fold win, and a dual triumph.

On one hand, even with a split between the two, where the Nine Yin Hall takes the largest share, the Daluo Alliance still has partial mining and dividend rights over the White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore.

The quantity, if enjoyed fully by Zheng Yi alone, is sufficient for him to refine Taibai Jingjin Qi from these White Yi Sword Qi Ore.

Then, the Body-breaking Invisible Sword Qi of the Taiyi Light-Splitting Thousand Sword Gourd would be assured.

On the other hand, the Daluo Alliance completely shelters the Xin Family.

In the minor scope, it gains the allegiance of an artifact refining family, filling its shortcoming, since Six Arts of Cultivation heritage counts as core resources within any major power.
