Chapter 1892: Chapter 1896: Blood Oath Alliance

As the young master of the aristocratic family from the Second Peak, how did he end up at the Fifth Peak?

It seemed normal, but Qin Tian’s instincts told him otherwise.

He noticed Luo Tianming’s demeanor, accompanied by two guards, looking very low-key, wearing light gray clothes, completely opposite to the eye-catching white and other colors Qin Tian had seen before.

Qin Tian had done reconnaissance before; he knew if someone wanted to do something unusual, their behavior must differ from the norm. Luo Tianming’s behavior fit this pattern perfectly.

Having nothing else to do, Qin Tian decided to follow.

Luo Tianming and the two guards were very alert, entering a tea house together.

Qin Tian closely followed them into the tea house and saw Luo Tianming enter a private room; he directly booked the adjacent room, closed the door, and listened carefully.

If he forcefully activated True Qi and used Divine Sense, Qin Tian could definitely eavesdrop on Luo Tianming’s conversation in the neighboring room.

But doing so would inevitably alert Luo Tianming and his group.

So he opted for a more discreet eavesdropping method, pressing his ear to the wall, concentrating, and only releasing a faint breath.

In this situation, as long as the surroundings were quiet, Qin Tian, being next door, could clearly hear what Luo Tianming was doing in the tea house private room.

"Young Master Luo, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for quite some time."

"Hahaha, well said, General Hong, I’ve heard much about you."

The conversation in the neighboring room was crystal clear to Qin Tian; perhaps because these people had little caution, their alertness seemed weak to Qin Tian.

Upon hearing the name "General Hong" three words, Qin Tian’s heart instantly tightened.

In this Myriad Demon Mountain Range, there was supposedly no title of General. Could this General Hong be Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s right-hand man, Hong Qi?

Qin Tian continued listening.

"Old Master Luo sent Young Master Luo here, but I wonder, how is your Luo Family considering our Emperor’s proposal?"

"Haha, General Hong, you’re straightforward. Let’s say, my father is very interested in His Majesty’s proposal... However, he is also very concerned about the promises you’ve made."

Luo Tianming’s words reached Qin Tian’s ears, and at this point, Qin Tian could basically confirm the middle-aged man conversing with Luo Tianming was indeed Hong Qi!

Listening to their dialogue, it seemed Yin Yue Demon Venerate was still restless within the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, apparently trying to ally with the strong ones from the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.

Regarding his goal, Qin Tian could easily guess —

After being ousted by his niece Liu Fei’er and losing the Demon Emperor position, Yin Yue Demon Venerate was definitely planning a counterattack on the Demon Capital!

This old rogue truly has grand ambitions!

"Haha, Young Master Luo, rest assured, His Majesty still has many supporters in the Demon Clan, not to mention that the last time Liu Fei’er, that wench, successfully seized the Demon Capital, partly because they had Qin Tian from Tianyuan Dynasty’s help, and partly because the Elder Council backed her."

Hong Qi said, "Our Emperor somewhat fears those Elder Council people, hence missing a great opportunity. Now, as long as our Myriad Demon Mountain Range experts are willing to come down, those old guys in the Elder Council are nothing. At that time, the positions of Demon Clan State Preceptor and territories promised by His Majesty to you will surely be fulfilled one by one."

"Is that so, my father demands an agreement first."

"Of course, that’s no problem; the position of State Preceptor awaits. As for the territory, according to His Majesty, if the entire Luo Family deploys, a territory of one hundred thousand square kilometers, and if you can persuade the Yin Family to join, then the Luo Family will have a territory of one million square kilometers, east of the Black Cloud River, all becomes Luo Family land."

"Oh, but why have us persuade the Yin Family instead of doing it yourselves?"

"We’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with the Second Peak; it’s better for the Luo Family to take charge. I’ve heard your Luo Family and Yin Family are about to become in-laws, so persuading them to join should be effortless, right?"

"You’ve heard about this too?" Luo Tianming smiled confidently.

"Of course, the entire Myriad Demon Mountain Range knows that the Yin Family has a stunningly beautiful eldest daughter, soon to be married into your Luo Family. It’s naturally a sensational event in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. Young Master Luo, persuading the Yin Family should pose no problem, right?"

"As long as the conditions you offer are suitable, it’s certainly no problem."

"His Majesty mentioned that if the Luo Family can persuade the Yin Family to join, he will appoint the Yin Family Head as a First Grade General with command over ten thousand troops. Furthermore, he will reward a territory of five hundred thousand square kilometers, with no less than fifty cities."

"The conditions sound quite tempting; alright, I’ll report back to my father. You draft the agreement, and both we and the Yin Family can exert our efforts to help you seize power."

"Hehe, Young Master Luo is a man of his word; alright, then next time, let’s look forward to formally forming a blood alliance."

...

"Luo Tianming, this guy, actually has such treacherous ambitions!"

Once Luo Tianming and Hong Qi had both left the tea house, only then did Qin Tian emerge from it.

While preparing to track Hong Qi, Qin Tian was also overwhelmed with shock.

Originally thinking Luo Tianming was a sunny and handsome guy, a perfect match with Yin Susu, now it seemed Luo Tianming’s image was completely fabricated!

"Let’s see, Luo Family teaming up with Yin Family, stepping out from the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to trouble Fei’er? Hehe, with me around, dream on!"

Qin Tian calmed himself down and noticed Hong Qi and his two followers navigating through a few alleys, entering an aristocratic mansion.

The mansion was large, seemingly even more than twice the size of the Yin Family mansion on the Second Peak.

Qin Tian could tell; these must be powerful figures from the Fifth Peak.

He didn’t act rashly but came to the front and saw the words "Lin Mansion" written at the door, silently noting it in his mind.

"It seems Yin Yue Demon Venerate and Hong Qi both reside here. How can I kill them? How can I thwart Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s plot?"

Qin Tian was now somewhat muddled in thought. "If Luo Tianming is a polished fraud, then I must... help Yin Susu. Otherwise, she’ll be too tragic."

Seeing the sky begin to darken, Qin Tian dared not linger at the Fifth Peak any longer and promptly headed home.

However, along the way, Qin Tian was deeply thoughtful, uncertain of how he alone could effectively eliminate Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s faction under this circumstance.

"Haha, you sneaked out again. Always getting into trouble!"

When Qin Tian returned to the Yin Mansion, he again ran into Gao Ping at the back door.

"Speak, how many Spirit Stones." Qin Tian was irritable and didn’t want to argue with this person.

"Yo, straightforward!"

Gao Ping grinned, raising the price: "I see you’re just a minor character, so let’s make it one hundred High Grade Spirit Stones. Hmm, I can ask for fewer Spirit Stones, but as for you, later you must come to my room every two days, hehe... to keep me company in bed."
