Winning over Zhong Qing

As soon as these words were uttered, Zhao Feng nodded, “He saved your life, so you should indeed thank him properly.”

“My Zhao Family descendants always repay kindness.”

“Perhaps after this, there really won’t be another chance!”

As he spoke, his expression was dim, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

This caused Zhao Yu’s heart to sink.

Although he was prepared to die on the battlefield,

his father’s demeanor made him realize that this Yao Race calamity seemed even more serious than imagined.

“Father, regarding this Yao Race attack, what are our chances of victory?”

Zhao Yu asked.

“Less than thirty percent!”

After all, it was his own son, so Zhao Feng didn’t play any mind games with him.

He directly told him his internal assessment of the battle’s chances of victory.

“Logically speaking, he saved your life and showed you great kindness. As your father, I should accompany you to personally pay him a visit to express our gratitude.”

“However, the situation is tense now, and no one knows when the Yao Race will attack. I must seize the opportunity before the battlefield opens to contact all the forces I can to increase our chances of victory in this battle.”

“We cannot afford to lose this battle!”

These words made Zhao Yu’s expression shift.

“Father, I think you should come with me!”

“Benefactor is very strong. If we can persuade him to act, perhaps it could greatly increase our chances of victory!”

“Oh?”

Zhao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, “How strong is he? Strong enough for you to think he can increase the Human Race’s chances of victory!”

“I don’t know Benefactor’s exact strength!”

“But I traveled with Benefactor for a while and found that this Benefactor is extraordinary.”

“He possesses a flying boat that can cross multiple domains, and he also has many Disciples.”

“And one of his Disciples is unfathomably strong.”

“When we first entered the Profound Domain, we encountered the Chiyang Clan leader leading many experts to provoke us, wanting to seize Benefactor’s flying boat, but one of Benefactor’s Disciples directly killed them all.”

“From this, I made a bold deduction: Benefactor’s strength has probably reached the Saint Realm level.”

These words stirred Zhao Feng’s heart.

He had also heard of the Chiyang Clan; they were a greedy and cunning race, not weak in strength, and their leader even possessed Supreme Nine Heavens cultivation.

If even one of his Disciples had the combat power to kill a Supreme Nine Heavens cultivator, then the Master was indeed very likely a Saint Realm expert.

The addition of a Saint Realm expert could indeed greatly increase the Human Race’s chances of victory.

“Then I truly must accompany you to pay a visit!”

Not only him, but to show sincerity, he also planned to bring the other seven family leaders to visit together.

After all, confronting this Yao Race calamity carried the danger of death and the dissipation of the Dao if one was not careful.

Not everyone had the awareness to automatically sacrifice themselves for the Human Race.

Moreover, he also deduced from Zhao Yu’s words that the Benefactor he spoke of was very likely not from the Profound Domain.

Strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with Zhong Qing.

If they didn’t show enough courtesy, how could he be willing to join their Anti-Yao Alliance camp?

Under Zhao Feng’s contact, the seven Great Saint Realm experts who had just left the Saber Saint Hall soon received a message inviting them to gather again.

This tightened their hearts. Could it be that the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan had already attacked?

Everyone dared not delay.

They quickly rushed back to the Saber Saint Hall main hall at the fastest speed.

“Brother Zhao, has the Yao Race attacked?”

The first to speak was the Zhou Family Patriarch, Zhou Changfeng.

At the main hall entrance,

Zhao Feng, with Zhao Yu, greeted everyone at the door.

The former cupped his hands to everyone and said, “It’s not that the Yao Race has attacked.”

“Rather, my son returned from traveling in another domain and encountered a life-saving Benefactor on the way. This person is not weak in strength, and I would like to invite everyone to visit him together and invite him to join our Anti-Yao Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Jianbai, the Sect Master of the Sword Saint Sect, said with a solemn expression, “Brother Zhao, the Southern Barren Land is now facing a great calamity. At this critical moment, we indeed need to rally all the forces we can to increase our chances of victory.”

“However, not just anyone is worth so many of us going to visit!”

Everyone was a little displeased in their hearts.

Just for this matter, he specially summoned them to make a trip.

The other party saved your son; you take your son to visit him and persuade him to join the Anti-Yao Alliance, and we have nothing to say.

But you drag us along to visit; do you really think these Saint Realm experts don’t care about Face?

At this moment, Zhao Yu spoke, “Uncles, Benefactor Zhong Qing is extremely extraordinary and is very likely a Saint Realm expert.”

“Now that our Southern Barren Land is at a critical juncture of life and death, if we can persuade him to join our camp, our chances of victory will undoubtedly increase significantly.”

“Please, Uncles, come with my father and me!”

These words made everyone suspicious.

In their hearts, they weren’t very convinced.

Looking at the entire Southern Barren Land, there were only these eight Saint Realm experts.

Throughout the entire Eastern Continent, Saint Realm experts were also few.

Moreover, at the Saint Realm level, they had heard of other Saint Realm experts more or less.

When did a Saint Realm expert named Zhong Qing appear in the Eastern Continent? They had never heard of him.

Zhao Feng, seeing this, probably understood what they were thinking.

He immediately said, “My son’s Benefactor came across from another domain, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard of him.”

“As for how strong he specifically is, I don’t know either.”

“But taking a trip, for us, there’s no loss.”

“However, if the other party is truly a Saint Realm expert, being able to draw him into our camp would be a great enhancement to the strength of our Anti-Yao Alliance, wouldn’t it?”

Everyone heard this, thought for a moment, and then reluctantly agreed out of respect for Zhao Feng’s Face.

…

At the same time!

Fang Family in Wanren City!

Fang Xiaotian, the Fang Family Patriarch, was pacing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.

His gaze occasionally looked up at the sky.

“Alas!”

A sigh, full of endless sorrow and desolation.

His Face was filled with worry.

“I have truly wronged Yi’er!”

A murmur, revealing deep regret and sadness.

Back then, the Fang Family faced a crisis and indeed needed to rely on marriage Alliances to overcome it more quickly.

However, even without a marriage Alliance, with the Fang Family’s foundation, they could have weathered it.

It was his unwillingness to see the Fang Family decline that led him to adopt the marriage Alliance strategy.

But he never expected that his stubbornness back then would lead his daughter down a path of no return.

It also caused the Fang Family to decline year by year, showing all signs of decay and weakness.

Just as Fang Xiaotian was sighing deeply,

a servant rushed in from outside the door to report.

“Report, Patriarch, there’s someone named Shen Jinkuo asking to see you!”

“No, no!”

Fang Xiaotian waved his hand irritably.

“Didn’t I say the Fang Family is closed and won’t see anyone?”

“Don’t bother me with such trivial matters in the future!”

The servant had a hesitant expression, struggled for a long time, and then said, “But, that person, that person said he is the one the Saintess has always longed for!”

As soon as these words were uttered, Fang Xiaotian’s tiger-like eyes widened.

He completely lost his composure!
