“This is not the answer that I’m looking for,” Gui Wuzong retorted fiercely.
Wei Rong looked up. “I promise you that I will take care of the Great Eastern Alliance, and Cai Jianqiang will be given to you to handle as you wish.”
Gui Wuzong stared at Wei Rong. “You really do think that you can deal with Lu Yin.”
“Definitely not by myself, and it’s still impossible even with your assistance. However, what if we ally ourselves with the Dark Phoenix family?” Wei Rong continued
Gui Wuzong was stunned. “You’ve convinced the Dark Phoenix family?”
“My enemy’s enemy is my friend. The Dark Phoenix family now views Lu Yin as their mortal enemy, but since their base is too far away, they will need a springboard to invade the Great Eastern Alliance, and my Armament Weave can coincidentally provide that service,” Wei Rong said in high spirits as he looked at Gui Wuzong. “With the assistance of the Dark Phoenix Family, the Great Eastern Alliance is no longer a threat to us.”
“Lu Yin has the Neo-Vestige Sect.”
“Wrong, the Neo-Vestige Sect has not allied with him yet, and I naturally have my ways to prevent him from gaining their support.”
Gui Wuzong fell silent for a moment. “Something’s happened with the pirates.”
Wei Rong’s gaze trembled. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“The people that I sent to assist the pirates have all disappeared, and people like Thousand Eyes are still living well,” Gui Wuzong explained.
Wei Rong’s face grew solemn. “When did this happen?”
“Before you went to Millions City,” Gui Wuzong replied.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Wei Rong’s expression was ugly.
Gui Wuzong did not reply. Before the events in Millions City, he had still had Twin Daemons, and his cooperation with Wei Rong had not been as important. Thus, this sect leader naturally would not report everything to Wei Rong. However, things had changed, as the Shadowsword Sect’s strength had dropped dramatically after Twin Daemons’ death. Now, Gui Wuzong’s attitude had subsequently shifted, and he had to clearly explain the situation to Wei Rong.
“Are these pirates very important to you?” Angie asked. She hardly ever intruded into Wei Rong’s conversations.
Wei Rong nodded and then caressed Angie’s cheek. “All pirates are a bunch of maggots, but they are also unassuming and found everywhere in the universe. Thousand Eyes’ intelligence network is extremely effective, and if we took control of the eastern weaves’ pirates, then they would be able to provide us with countless pairs of eyes to monitor Lu Yin, and they wouldn’t be easily discovered either.”
“I’ll send my clansmen to assist you,” Angie offered.
Wei Rong thought about it, but then he shook his head. “With the Shadowsword Sect’s strength, they are already able to eliminate the eastern weaves’ pirates, but despite that, they still failed. This means that there are other powers interfering. Lu Yin is very smart, and there aren’t any movements that can be hidden from him. If the commotion becomes too big, it will naturally draw his attention. We won’t be able to use the pirates any longer.”
Wei Rong then looked at Gui Wuzong. “Leave those pirates alone and cease all interactions with them. Also, banish all pirates from the central weaves.”
Gui Wuzong frowned. “Do we really need to go that far?”
“Follow what I say or else you’ll suffer from Lu Yin’s counter.” Wei Rong’s tone was unquestionable.
Gui Wuzong couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Aren’t you evaluating this Lu Yin too highly?”
Wei Rong’s lips curled upwards. “We must always be cautious when dealing with him, and we can’t afford to slip up in the slightest. Otherwise, we’ll all become ghosts by his sword.”
Wei Rong directly ended the call and then rubbed his forehead to dispel his growing headache.
