Chapter 1221 1221: Kunlun, Subjugation?
"..."Elder Yuan Qing felt ashamed, coughed twice, and said, "Xiao Qin, this... I know your people's strength is formidable, but the Holy Soul Hall is not weak, otherwise, our Kunlun Sect would not have fallen to this extent..."
"Indeed! The ones we defeated yesterday were not the core forces of the Holy Soul Hall. Their core is extremely powerful, especially in their own territory; it's even harder to match them."
"Our strength is still far from being able to compete with them!"
"..."
The others also tried to persuade him one by one.
Qin Feng remained calm and said, "I'm not referring to us, there are others."
"Others?? Who else?"
Elder Yuan Qing was puzzled.
"Naturally, those who, like you, have been bullied by the Holy Soul Hall, who want revenge but are powerless." Qin Feng said, "I believe there are quite a few of such people, if they can be united, they would be a considerable force."
"..."
Elder Yuan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Qin, you are too naive. Yes, together they indeed make a sizable force, at least in terms of numbers they surpass the Holy Soul Hall, but if they could unite, things wouldn't have come to this..."
"I know, that's why I came to Kunlun."
Qin Feng said.
With these words.
Elder Yuan Qing suddenly thought of something, and immediately realized, saying, "I understand! If I'm not mistaken, the reason you came to us is to use the reputation of our Kunlun Sect to gather those people together, correct?"
"I must say, you're smarter than I thought!"
"Right now, the only entity capable of uniting those people is indeed our Kunlun Sect."
"But have you thought about it, we've already tried?"
"Useless."
"Our Kunlun Sect holds considerable prestige on Kunlun Mountain, but still falls short compared to the Holy Soul Hall. If things had been like this from the start, perhaps it could have worked, but unfortunately, we were too arrogant, wanting to challenge the Holy Soul Hall and failed to realize how formidable they truly were."
"Now, we have suffered a great defeat; our prestige is long lost, who would still listen to us?"
"..."
Saying this, Elder Yuan Qing smiled bitterly.
It's too difficult.
At this moment, Qin Feng shook his head once more and said, "You've misunderstood, I want to use the Kunlun Sect's prestige, that's why I'm here, but I'm not solely relying on Kunlun's reputation."
"Oh? Then who are you relying on?"
Elder Yuan Qing and others were puzzled.
The situation on Kunlun Mountain is becoming clear; apart from the Holy Soul Hall, all else is in disarray. Only the Kunlun Sect, with its deep roots, has preserved many experts.
If not relying on Kunlun Sect, then who is he relying on?
"We rely on our Heavenly King Palace."
Qin Feng said.
"What??"
The Kunlun Sect members were confused.
Elder Yuan Qing was surprised: "You mean, your Heavenly King Palace wants to gather those forces bullied by the Holy Soul Hall on Kunlun Mountain?"
"Yes."
"Absolutely impossible!" Elder Yuan Qing sighed and said, "Firstly, the various forces on Kunlun Mountain are extremely arrogant and would never accept an outsider force."
"Secondly, to be blunt, your Heavenly King Palace... really doesn't have much fame, let alone prestige, and would find it very hard to lead everyone."
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "That's why I came to the Kunlun Sect!"
"But we now can't either!" Elder Yuan Qing shrugged and said.
"No, you can." Qin Feng laughed again.
Elder Yuan Qing remained puzzled, just about to speak again when Ni Chang raised her hand to stop him.
Ni Chang looked directly at Qin Feng, her eyes carrying a hint of anger, and shouted: "Such audacity! How dare you have designs on our Kunlun Sect!!"
With these words, the hall immediately fell silent.
Everyone was puzzled.
Have designs on the Kunlun Sect?
Isn't he here to help the Kunlun Sect?
At this moment.
After a moment of contemplation, Elder Yuan Qing suddenly realized as well, saying, "I, I got it!!"
He also looked at Qin Feng and said, "You mean, for our Kunlun Sect to join your Heavenly King Palace, thereby increasing the prestige of the Heavenly King Palace! Right?"
"Yes."
Qin Feng frankly admitted.
Going to a strange place and wanting to increase prestige, there's no simpler way than to recruit the strongest force locally!
Apart from the Holy Soul Hall, the strongest is the Kunlun Sect.
If the Kunlun Sect publicly declares that it's joining the Heavenly King Palace and becomes a member of the Heavenly King Palace, the Heavenly King Palace's fame would soar like a rocket on Kunlun Mountain!!
"Impossible!"
Ni Chang firmly rejected, eyes furious, saying, "Our Kunlun Sect lives as long as the heavens, how could we become subordinate to others? This is an insult to us!!"
"Indeed, we will not agree!"
The other members of the Kunlun Sect also showed displeasure.
Always proud, how could they ever accept "living under someone else's roof"?
This is humiliating!
It's like a rich kid in the city suddenly being asked to become a servant to a country person—hard to accept.
"Rest assured, I won't take advantage of you. After defeating the Holy Soul Hall, I'm just using you to raise our prestige and unite those people; afterward, you will return to being you, and we to being us."
Qin Feng said.
"With such terms..."
The people began to discuss again, appearing it might not be entirely unacceptable.
But.
Even if it's a pretense to publicly declare joining the Heavenly King Palace, it still feels humiliating, shameful...
Seeing them still hesitating, Qin Feng shrugged and said, "If you can't bear even this bit of humiliation, then your failure is inevitable; even without the Holy Soul Hall, there will be other sects replacing you."
"Uh..."
Elder Yuan Qing and the others felt embarrassed.
Upon careful consideration.
The Kunlun Sect has reached this point, where can they care so much about their reputation?
Besides, he did say afterward they each go their own way.
"But even with this, it's still hard to gather, right? After all, our Kunlun Sect was defeated before, losing much prestige; recruiting us may only marginally boost your prestige."
Elder Yuan Qing said.
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Right, but, the Heavenly King Palace isn't just recruiting you, there are also them..."
He pointed to the people he brought with him.
"Them?"
The crowd looked on, puzzled by Qin Feng's intentions.
At this point, Heavenly River Taoist stepped forward, lifting his head slightly and said, "Let me introduce these few for everyone."
"Firstly, Master Ning Tingxue, you might not have heard of her, but her Fengxue Mountain is now the strongest power around Changbai Mountain, having united Changbai Mountain."
Elder Yuan Qing and the others were surprised, their eyes wide open.
So, the force that united Changbai Mountain is quite formidable, unexpectedly joining the Heavenly King Palace!
Heavenly River Taoist continued to introduce: "This Master is Baili Qiurong, I believe you've heard of the Baili Family, undefeated in arrays across the world; they are reclusive, but the Baili Family's most talented Array Master follows my Master..."
