Chapter 49: Tripartite Cooperation Achieved
At this time, the Liu Emei team on the other side discovered that Lin Mo and Dongfang Huai were talking. Looking at this situation, they guessed that they should have reached a form of cooperation.
Liu Emei hurriedly walked towards the two of them. Dongfang Huai and Lin Mo stopped talking to each other when they saw Liu Emei coming.
But Lin Mo said again: "Brother Dongfang, don't forget that our cooperative relationship will last until the final peaceful battle."
Dongfang Huai nodded. They both guessed Liu Emei's intention. Dongfang Huai originally thought that Liu Emei's group would gain more trust from Lin Mo's group than his own.
However, Lin Mo's words also fully demonstrated that the alliance that Liu Emei would come to conclude might not be as peaceful as that between their two sides. Thinking about the difference in strength between the three teams, he acquiesced to this phenomenon.
After all, only when both parties have similar strength can they win a relatively equal cooperative relationship and at the same time win equal mutual respect.
Liu Emei walked up to the two men and said, "Hello, Brother Dongfang and Brother Lin. I guess you two have just reached a cooperative relationship. I wonder if you can bring my little sister and my group with you?"
Dongfang Huai looked at Liu Emei and then at Lin Mo, and stepped back slightly to indicate that Lin Mo would handle this matter.
Lin Mo nodded slightly to Dongfang Huai and said, "Miss Liu, if you want to cooperate, it's fine, but you should know that your team is the weakest among our three groups. I won't make too many demands for cooperation, only two points.
First of all, we must first deal with these twelve people, so these twelve people must die. Note that I mean death, not letting them successfully give up.
Second, after these twelve people are dealt with, it will be between us. By then, victory or defeat, life or death, will be decided. Everything will depend on our own methods. "
Liu Emei thought about it and felt that the cooperation requirement was not harsh. It should be the same with Dongfang Huai. As long as these twelve people were dealt with first, she could find a way to win over either Lin Mo or Dongfang Huai to deal with the other group, and then she could fish in troubled waters.
In fact, Liu Emei's idea was not wrong. After all, under the circumstances at that time, the weak would unite to defeat the strong. It was just that she missed the information and misjudged a few points.
First of all, Lin Mo must get rid of Han Xiao if he has the chance. Han Xiao is now hiding like a poisonous snake. Before entering the underground palace, Lin Mo felt that Han Xiao's jealousy and resentment were about to overflow. He knew that Han Xiao would definitely take action if he had the chance.
Lin Mo is never the kind of person who would wait until the other party makes a move before breaking it. Since there is a threat, he would solve it in advance.
Secondly, Liu Emei did not pass the final stage of the first trial, so she was not aware that Dongfang Huai’s team had already received a good reward. Even if there was nothing gained in the underground palace below, it was already a profit.
Compared with the sects, the people from the aristocratic families would calculate the gains and losses better. There would be a risk of death in a head-on fight with Lin Mo, and since he had already gained a lot of benefits, it would not be unacceptable even if he lost next time. What's more, he had already reached an agreement with Lin Mo and would not fight a life-and-death battle. This was more in line with the thinking of the big aristocratic families.
In the end, Liu Emei forgot that their strength was not equal, so their right to speak was also different. Moreover, although the Yuenu Sword Society had alliances with various major forces, its reputation was not very good, especially because they were wavering and stabbing each other in the back was not uncommon.
Sometimes men are very strange creatures. Dongfang Huai and the other two recognized the strength of Lin Mo and the other two. Even though they were not clear about Lin Mo's character, they would trust Lin Mo and the other two more than Liu Emei, because this was respect for their opponents.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Liu Emei nodded slightly to the two of them and then returned to her team.
Dongfang Huai on the side also understood the two cooperation requirements proposed by Lin Mo. The first one was the same and could share the pressure of his two teams very well. As for the second one, its meaning was simpler. After the twelve people were dealt with, it would be Liu Emei's team.
Dongfang Huai also nodded to Lin Mo, then returned to his team.
Huangfu Lingyun asked hurriedly, "How is the cooperation going? I saw that little girl Liu Emei passing by. Could she be trying to sabotage it? The Yue Female Sword Society is always like this, making trouble under various pretexts. If so many disciples had not been married off, they would have been destroyed by some force long ago."
Murong Ying nodded to show his approval. Because the people from the aristocratic families were all intermarried, they had no intersection with the Yue Girl Sword Society. On the contrary, there were quite a few conflicts.
Dongfang Huai smiled and said, "I have reached an agreement with Lin Mo. After killing those twelve people, we will deal with Liu Emei's group. Lin Mo must have wanted to kill them. In the end, our two groups resolved it peacefully through sparring."
Huangfu Lingyun nodded and smiled: "This result is very good. No matter whether we win or lose in the end, at least we didn't lose this time, and we can also explain the final results.
I can guess why Lin Mo wants to deal with Liu Emei's group. Our Huangfu family's "Seven Apertures and Nine Channels" is most sensitive to various emotions. That Han Xiao should be practicing the "Supreme Desire Extinguishment Canon" of the evil sword sect, so all kinds of emotions are revealed without any concealment. I can feel that his murderous intent and jealousy towards Lin Mo have reached their peak.
It's just because his own cultivation is not enough, so he is suppressing it. If he can get rid of Lin Mo at this time, then his "Taishang Desire Extinguishing Classic" will be able to enter the door. Lin Mo should also want to take the opportunity to solve this trouble."
Murong Ying also nodded. Although the Murong family was taciturn, it did not mean that they were inhumane. On the contrary, the people of the Murong family had a clear distinction between love and hate, so they always sneered at the Jian Xie Sect's martial arts.
The reason why Jianxie Sect's name contains the word "evil" is because the skills they learn are all designed to slowly destroy humanity. The reason why it has not been classified as one of the Nine Nether Evil Sects is because the rules within the sect are extremely strict, even to the point of being harsh, which prevents this group of inhumane lunatics from causing damage outside.
Dongfang Huai thought for a moment and said, "After we have dealt with the twelve people, the three of us can stop Liu Emei. It would be best if we can kill her, but judging from the sword marks left by the battle outside the city, if she fights desperately, she might drag one of us down with her.
So try to get her to give up, and leave the remaining two to Lin Mo. Then you can see Lin Mo’s true strength.”
Huangfu Lingyun and Murong Ying also nodded.
The three of them relaxed and began to close their eyes to rest, because a big battle was about to begin.
After Liu Emei returned to their group and explained the situation, Han Xiao nodded to show that he approved of the cooperation, but Meng Ting looked worried.
She knew that although Han Xiao's behavior was calm now, the murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Lin Mo from time to time was too obvious. She didn't believe that Lin Mo didn't know about this, so Lin Mo would probably give priority to dealing with their group.
But now he was just a follower and had no say, so he quietly said to Liu Emei:
"Sister Liu, after dealing with those twelve people, I will give up and leave. After all, my strength is too weak. You may be able to kill me with just one move."
Liu Emei thought about it and nodded. She had not yet obtained the secret book of spiritual power from Meng Ting, so she really had to ensure her safety. Therefore, she agreed with Meng Ting's statement.
