After Zong Zhengming just apologized to them, Ye Ye immediately waved his hand at the two, neither blaming Xiao Ying nor agreeing with Zong Zhengming's cancellation of the competition, but stared straight at Zong Zhengming and said loudly: "Your Excellency misunderstood! Ye Ye did not propose a martial arts competition to protect his face, but really wanted to have a fight with Your Excellency! We will meet friends with martial arts, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect the relationship between the Evil Sun Ancient City and the Mohai Ancient City, how about it?"

Ye Ye's tone was very serious, and the eyes that looked at Zong Zhengming were also extremely solemn, which immediately made Zong Zhengming's face show a trace of surprise.

Although he had long heard of the name of Ye Ye's advent body, potential and strength were two different things, and Zong Zhengming didn't think that the current Ye Ye would be his opponent. Even though Ye Ye, as an advent body, had some secrets on his body that others could not discover, which made Zong Zhengming have the idea of fighting with him to try it, but in the end, Zong Zhengming still shook his head and rejected Ye Ye's proposal.

"This time the Shangguan City Lord and His Excellency Ye Ye came to the Evil Sun Ancient City, presumably the burden on their shoulders is not light, so let's hurry up and talk about business. As for the competition, let's wait until the next opportunity!"

Although Zong Zhengming had an urge to fight Ye Ye, he immediately dispelled this idea when he thought that his cultivation had improved some time ago, and his strength at this time was probably not much different from that of his father Zong Tianlin.

After all, Ye Ye was a guest of their Evil Sun Ancient City, if he couldn't hold it during the competition and made Ye Ye lose ugly, the relationship between Mohai Ancient City and Evil Sun Ancient City might not be able to be maintained. For the sake of the overall situation, Zong Zhengming finally firmly rejected Ye Ye's proposal to compete.

Ye Ye saw the determined look on Zong Zhengming's face, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of loss. But he had to admit that Zong Zhengming's reasons were impeccable, so he didn't continue to insist, but nodded at Zong Zhengming to show his understanding.

Seeing the opportunity, Shangguan Zhong immediately cut to the topic, arched his hand and said solemnly to Zong Tianlin: "Sect City Master, Gao Shun, the core disciple of the Liuli Sect, must have received the news about the arrival of Gao Shun in the Linhai area. Originally, this matter was nothing, but because the ancient city of Longjiang was very close to Gao Shun and the others, and the situation was relatively sensitive, I rashly came to visit the sect lord to discuss how to deal with it, hoping not to disturb the sect lord!"

Shangguan Zhong's tone was solemn, and Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming's expressions also became serious after hearing this.

In fact, even if Shangguan Zhong didn't say it, they had already learned about it through their own channels, and guessed the purpose of Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye's visit to the Evil Yang Ancient City.

After all, the grievances between Mohai Ancient City and Longjiang Ancient City are known to everyone in the entire Linhai area, if Longjiang Ancient City really hooks up with Gao Shun and others, Mohai Ancient City is likely to face an existential crisis. It is difficult to turn things around with the power of the Mohai Ancient City alone, so forming an alliance with other ancient cities has become the first choice of the Mohai Ancient City.

Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye came to their Evil Sun Ancient City and proposed an alliance. Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming were both clear about this, but they hadn't figured out how to respond to the two of them for the time being.

"Lord Shangguan City is polite, the Evil Sun Ancient City and the Mohai Ancient City have always been good neighbors who live in peace. We naturally welcome guests when they arrive, and it would be too much to disturb!"

Zong Tianlin was polite to Shangguan Zhong, but he did not take the initiative to point out the intention of Shangguan Zhong's trip, but set his eyes on Zong Zhengming.

Zong Zhengming immediately understood what Zong Tianlin meant, and said to Shangguan Zhong instead of Zong Tianlin: "What Shangguan City Lord said just now is right, our Evil Yang Ancient City has indeed received the news that Gao Shun and others have arrived in the Linhai area. It's just that at present, the purpose of Gao Shun and the others seems to be only the inner dan of the two-headed flying Jiao, so we don't have to worry too much. If the rash action arouses the disgust of the Liuli faction, it may backfire, so it is better to wait and see what happens!"

When he couldn't make up his mind, Zong Zhengming preferred to stay put. After he finished speaking, Zong Tianlin also nodded with deep understanding, obviously having the same opinion as Zong Zhengming.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shangguan Zhong's eyes, but he was not discouraged, but continued to say to Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming: "Zong Zhengming's virtuous nephew is reasonable! However, if the Liuli Sect really has the intention to infiltrate the Linhai area through the Longjiang Ancient City, it will definitely sweep through the major ancient cities in the Linhai area with a thunderous momentum, if we don't prepare in advance, it may be too late at that time." Therefore, we in Mohai Ancient City hope that the Evil Sun Ancient City can form an alliance to jointly deal with any external threats that may come!"

In the critical situation in the Tiannan Domain, the Liuli Sect would definitely focus on dealing with the threat of the Alien Fire Sect. If they really planned to conquer the Linhai area, they would definitely not let the war drag on for too long, so Shangguan Zhong's judgment just now was not unreasonable.

His proposal for Mohai Ancient City to form an alliance with Evil Sun Ancient City was originally expected by the father and son of the Zong family, so Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming did not have too many surprises on their faces. It's just that the two of them didn't immediately respond to Shangguan Zhong's proposal, but temporarily fell into deep thought.

Ye Ye saw that there was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming, so he continued to say to the two: "Zong Tianlin City Lord, Your Excellency Zong Zhengming, you also know the enmity between our Mohai Ancient City and Longjiang Ancient City. If the Longjiang Ancient City really surrendered to the Liuli Sect and planned to expand its territory for the Liuli Sect, our Mohai Ancient City was likely to be their first target. However, the distance between Mohai Ancient City and Evil Yang Ancient City is not far, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Mohai Ancient City unfortunately falls, do you think the Liuli Sect will let the Evil Sun Ancient City go?"

Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes.

Originally, the Evil Sun Ancient City was not going to make any decision until the situation became clear, but what Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye said just now was not unreasonable. If you don't plan for the worst in advance and wait until something bad happens, you will pay a heavy price even if you get away with it.

Therefore, Zong Tianlin's attitude had changed a little compared to the beginning, but he was cautious by nature and did not immediately reply to Shangguan Zhong. After pondering for a moment, Zong Tianlin finally solemnly said to Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye: "Two, we have already felt the determination and sincerity of the Mohai Ancient City, but the alliance is very important, so I hope the Mohai Ancient City can give us some time to think about it." Within five days, no matter whether our Evil Sun Ancient City agrees to form an alliance with the Mohai Ancient City or not, my Zong Tianlin will give a clear answer to the Shangguan City Lord!"

Zong Tianlin's words were extremely sincere, and Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye couldn't say anything more after hearing it.

Although there was a hint of regret on their faces, there was still hope in their eyes for the alliance. Shangguan Zhong took the lead in getting up and hugged his fists at Zong Tianlin and Zong Zhengming, and said in a sincere tone: "Since that's the case, then we won't bother much." Within five days, I hope to wait for the good news from the Sect Tianlin City Lord!"

Ye Ye also got up with Guan Zhong, hugged his fists at the two of them, and was about to leave.

"Shangguan City Lord, rest assured, no matter what the final result is, the friendly relationship between the Evil Sun Ancient City and the Mohai Ancient City will not change! Especially under the current situation, we should support each other even more!"

Zong Tianlin also took Zong Zhengming and Xiao Ying to get up and salute Ye Ye and the others, and said a word to them in a solemn tone.

After Shangguan Zhong heard Zong Tianlin's words, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes. But he didn't immediately ask the other party, but nodded and left the place directly with Ye Ye.

After Ye Ye and Shangguan Zhong left, Zong Zhengming seemed to have guessed Zong Tianlin's intentions, and asked directly at him calmly, "Father, have you decided to form an alliance with Mohai Ancient City?"

Zong Tianlin didn't look back after hearing this, but looked at the direction in which Ye Ye and the two left, sighed, and replied in a somewhat helpless tone: "If you can't think of a better way within five days, you can only do this!"

Just when the Mohai Ancient City was trying to form an alliance with the Evil Sun Ancient City, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion of the Longjiang Ancient City, Gao Shun and the others also gathered together to discuss secretly. It's just that the content of their discussion is not to form an alliance with a certain ancient city, but how to pocket the entire coastal area step by step.

"Childe, if the chaos in the Southern Regions is about to break out today, if the Liuli Sect wants to conquer the Linhai area, it is best to quickly control the major ancient cities with lightning and not in a hurry, so as not to delay it for too long and be stopped by other forces in the Tiannan Region. On the other hand, although the two-headed flying dragon in the offshore area has been killed, it has been active in the offshore area for a long time. And the Mohai Ancient City is the closest ancient city to that area, let's conquer and control the Mohai Ancient City first, maybe we can investigate some clues about killing the two-headed flying Jiao!"

Xing Tianming did not hide his resentment against Mohai Ancient City at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suggested that Gao Shun aim at Mohai Ancient City, with a very positive attitude.

He knew that his reason just now was a bit far-fetched, but since the Longjiang Ancient City had surrendered to the Liuli Sect, if the Liuli Sect did not take some practical actions to win over the hearts of the people in the Longjiang Ancient City, Xing Tianming might not go all out in the next action.

On the surface, he was thinking about Gao Shun's plan, but in fact, he was seeking support from Gao Shun, planning to use the power of the Liuli Sect to completely end the grievances between Longjiang Ancient City and Mohai Ancient City.

Gao Shun and the others did not show any surprise after listening to Xing Tianming's words, but began to seriously think about the feasibility of this matter.

Of course, they knew Xing Tianming's selfishness, but they had to admit that there was still a little truth in his words. Gao Shun is now looking for the traces of the two-headed flying Jiao Neidan, even if he turns the entire Linhai area upside down, so as long as there is a slight possibility, he is willing to try.

In addition, the distance between Mohai Ancient City and Longjiang Ancient City is very close, if Longjiang Ancient City wants to conquer the entire Linhai area, geographically speaking, it should also take Mohai Ancient City first. What's more, Gao Shun's impression of Mohai Ancient City is not good, especially Ye Ye, who has made him deflated, Gao Shun is never willing to give him time to continue to grow.
