I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

[The update is in the previous chapter. I drank too much, so this chapter is wrong. Don't read it for now.]

Ye Chongren was slightly startled by the discussion, then humbly said, "Thank you all for your consideration. Although I have ties to both tribes, this matter is of great importance. I'm unsure of how to proceed. I hope the Beast Emperor and the seniors can provide guidance."

The Beast Emperor looked at Ye Chongren with a deep gaze and said slowly, "You need to go to the Wind and Thunder Palace, the Nebula Pavilion, and the Primordial City and show them our alliance's determination to resist the enemy. At the same time, propose an alliance plan with our fierce beast tribe as the leader, emphasizing that only by unity and obeying unified orders can we defeat the foreign enemy. Your special status in the two tribes will surely make them seriously consider it."

Ye Chongren nodded solemnly: "I will live up to your trust." But he also knew in his heart that this task was extremely difficult. How could those alien forces easily obey the orders of the ferocious beast tribe? There would definitely be many difficulties and obstacles.

Just as Ye Chongren was about to depart, back at Divine Sword Mountain, Jiang Qisha had summoned the Grand Elder of Divine Sword Mountain, the Master of the Serene Sword, and their successors, who had already gathered in the main hall. Jiang Qisha, despite his frail frame, sat upright in the main seat, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces. He spoke in a deep voice, "Now that a powerful enemy is outside, while we each fight our own battles, I'm sure everyone understands the principle of 'the lips and the teeth are cold.' Next, we must take the initiative and test the enemy's strength."

The Great Elder of Shenjian Mountain frowned and said worriedly, "Ye Chongren and that mysterious old woman are extremely powerful. If we act rashly, will we..."

Jiang Qisha sneered, "That old woman, like me, will not be able to use her strength again in a short period of time. As for Ye Chongren, even if he wasn't seriously injured, given his realm, if we join forces, we might not be powerless to fight. For this operation, we will split up into several groups, each searching for the target. Once we find one, we will immediately report it."

Although everyone was nervous, they had no choice but to obey orders and leave under the intimidation of Jiang Qisha.

Ye Chongren arrived at the Wind and Thunder Palace first. The atmosphere inside was oppressive. The Palace Master looked at Ye Chongren warily, "What are you doing here? Are you from the Ferocious Beast Tribe up to some new conspiracy?"

Ye Chongren explained the alliance in detail, neither servile nor overbearing. The Palace Master snorted coldly, "With your Ferocious Beast Tribe as the leader? That's absolutely impossible! Our Wind and Thunder Palace has always been independent. How can we be controlled by you?"

Ye Chongren patiently persuaded him, "Palace Master, we are surrounded by powerful enemies. If we don't unite, we will all be destroyed. The Ferocious Beast Tribe is the leader because they have a deep foundation and can better coordinate the forces of all parties. Moreover, after the alliance, we will discuss and make decisions together, not just follow orders."

The Palace Master fell into deep thought. After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "I need to discuss this matter with the elders. You may return first."

Ye Chongren knew this was the best possible outcome; at least Wind and Thunder Palace hadn't directly rejected his proposal. After leaving Wind and Thunder Palace, he rushed to the Nebula Pavilion without stopping. The Pavilion Master was gentle, but equally hesitant about the question of alliance leadership. "Ye Beast Emperor, you're absolutely right. However, this matter of leadership concerns the status of our Nebula Pavilion, so it's difficult for me to agree lightly."

Ye Chongren tried his best to enumerate many pros and cons, but the leader of Xingyun Pavilion still did not give a clear answer.

When Ye Chongren arrived at Honghuang City, he found it permeated with a strange atmosphere. The city gates were tightly closed and heavily guarded. As he approached, he was surrounded by a group of experts. After Ye Chongren explained his purpose, the guards led him into the city. The Honghuang City Lord had a gloomy expression, and the people in the city were also in panic.

Seeing Ye Chongren, the city lord smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Beast King, to be honest, there have been strange disappearances in our city recently, and people are in a panic. I really don't have the heart to care about the alliance."

Ye Chongren was alarmed. Could it be that a shadowy force was at work? He decided to help the city lord resolve the crisis before discussing the alliance. So, Ye Chongren unleashed his full power and launched an investigation throughout the city. He discovered that these disappearances seemed to be linked to a mysterious dark force, and this force was inextricably linked to the seal that was about to be broken...
