Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes to look at Senior Brother Tian the moment that she heard this.
She didn’t expect the Martial Might Sect to ask them something like this.
But when she thought about it, it seemed like it wasn’t that strange.
The Martial Might Sect was without a doubt planning something in this Ten Thousand Beast Valley. If they were going to do something, wouldn’t they want to be in the best position for that?
The best position was no doubt the one that was right beside them, so they would want to go into the Ten Thousand Beast Valley with them.
That would make sure that they would be in the best position when something happened.
While Xiao Ming didn’t know exactly what the Martial Might Sect was planning, she knew that they were planning something. That was what Lin Fan had told her and naturally she trusted what her master said.
So she even started figuring that the two groups from before were also sent by the Martial Might Sect.
The timing of the Martial Might Sect had been a bit too perfect since they had appeared right as the second group attacked. It made it seem like they had arrived right in time to help them.
If it was anyone else, they definitely would have been moved by this.
But it didn’t work since the Love Sect group had been cautious of the Martial Might Sect group in the first place. If they wanted to try anything, then they would be seen through by the Love Sect group.
Since she knew that they would be trying something, naturally Xiao Ming didn’t want to make it easier for the Martial Might Sect group.
That meant that she wouldn’t accept their offer to go together.
But as if he could sense this, Senior Brother Tian said, “Junior Sister Ming, you should know that it is very dangerous to go into this place alone. Not to mention, since this is land that is owned by our Martial Might Sect, it is a place that we are very familiar with. It is best if you come with us.”
The first part of his words were raised a bit so that the people around could hear them.
That was because…this was a threat.
If they didn’t come with them, there was no doubt that many people would target the group from the Love Sect.
After all, the rest of the sects all came from the Wu Empire in the first place.
The Love Sect was a foreign sect from the Mu Empire, so it wasn’t as if they had any good feelings towards the Love Sect.
If they had the chance, they would definitely group up against it.
So the first part was basically saying that if they didn’t go with them, the Martial Might Sect group wouldn’t care about what happened to the Love Sect group.
It was basically saying that they were free to do whatever they wanted to the Love Sect group if they didn’t go with the Martial Might Sect group.
The second part was the carrot after the whip.
This was saying that they would help them find many good herbs that would get them many points. At the same time, they would be able to use the herbs to help with their cultivation.
So Senior Brother Tian had a confident look on his face, as if he expected Xiao Ming to agree to his offer.
But Xiao Ming had other plans.
She wasn’t scared of Senior Brother Tian’s threat at all, rather she found it interesting that he would threaten her like this.
Before she could answer though, there was a voice that said, “That does sound like a good offer, but I think I can make a better one.”
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and found that there was a group walking forward.
At the head of the group was a person that Xiao Ming recognized.
It was Mo Sha.
This was the group from the Demon Palm Sect.
When Senior Brother Tian saw this group, he couldn’t help knitting his brows.
Mo Sha had a whimsical smile on his face as he walked over.
Once he came a bit closer, he said, “You can go with them, or you can come with us.”
Senior Brother Tian knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
He looked at the Demon Palm Sect group for a bit before turning to look at Xiao Ming and said, “Junior Sister Xiao, you shouldn’t listen to the ramblings of this group from a demonic sect. They do not follow the proper path and will lead you astray if you listen to them.”
But Xiao Ming just completely ignored him as she looked at Mo Sha.
Mo Sha was also ignoring him as he looked at her with the same smile on his face.
Senior Brother Tian could see that the situation wasn’t normal, so he wanted to say something else, but…
“This person from the Martial Might Sect, are you done? I don’t remember saying a single thing to you and you keep rambling all on your own. Do you really think that I would have gone with you in the first place?”
The way that Xiao Ming said this, it didn’t leave any face for Senior Brother Tian at all.
It was like she was deliberately saying this to make Senior Brother Tian look worse.
Senior Brother Tian’s face twisted when he heard this.
He narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Ming before suddenly relaxing that look on his face.
With the way that his expression changed, it was as if he had suddenly thought of something and changed his mind. It seemed that there was indeed something that the Martial Might Sect group was planning and it required them to convince the Love Sect group to go with them.
That was what Xiao Ming immediately realized after seeing this.
Once Senior Brother Tian calmed down, he said, “Junior Sister Ming, how about we all go together then?”
Mo Sha and Xiao Ming both revealed surprised looks in their eyes when they heard this.
After all, they never expected Senior Brother Tian to suggest something like this.
They had expected him to completely lose his temper after what Xiao Ming said, but he surprisingly kept it together and suggested something like this.
But it wasn’t as if Xiao Ming was going to show him any face just because he acted this way.
So she narrowed her eyes to look at him and said, “Even if there was no other choice, you would never be considered. Leave before I make you leave.”
Senior Brother Tian deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
But in the end, he said with a sigh, “Then Junior SIster Xiao, please do consider this an open offer. If anything happens and you want to come with us, feel free to find us.”
He didn’t wait for an answer as he turned to leave.
But if one looked closely, there was a faint smile on his face.
As for why he had that faint smile…it was because of the way that the others around them looked at the Love Sect group.
After he had changed to that soft tone, everyone started looking at the Love Sect group differently. Especially with how Xiao Ming had treated Senior Brother Tian in the end.
They looked at the Love Sect with even more hostile looks than before.
However, Xiao Ming wasn’t worried about this.
She had already seen through what Senior Brother Tian had been trying to do, but she allowed herself to fall into that trap. After all, no matter what she did, it would have been impossible for them to avoid these Wu Empire sects.
They would have come after their Love Sect regardless, so she wanted them to come after them even more now.
What the Martial Might Sect group did showed that they wanted to bring them somewhere alone to achieve their goals. So she was planning on countering this by using Senior Brother Tian’s trap against him.
By surrounding the Love Sect group with all the groups from the Wu Empire sects, it would be hard for them to find the Love Sect group alone to act.
The only thing that she was concerned about was…
“Sorry about this.” Xiao Ming turned to Mo Sha to say this.
Mo Sha could naturally see the way that the groups around them were looking at them, so he could guess what they were thinking.
He could also guess what Xiao Ming was planning based on this.
There was nothing that he could do since he had been ordered by the elder to help the Love Sect group.
So Mo Sha just shook his head with a faint smile as he said, “It’s fine, it’s just the way it is for a demonic sect in the first place.”
Xiao Ming gave a nod before saying, “Then let’s get to know each other better before the first round starts.”
Mo Sha was surprised to hear this, but he nodded in agreement after recovering.
The reason why Xiao Ming was approaching the Demon Palm Sect was because of Lin Fan.
He had told her to approach the Demon Palm Sect if she could.
After all, he was convinced that the Demon Palm Sect were here to help them under the instructions of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
And he would learn that this was the truth when he talked to the elder of the Demon Palm Sect.
