Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 86's. Plan To Align (1)
In addition to practicing, Zhang En made use of every opportunity to attack the Elders of the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect every time they ventured out of Death City to carry out missions. Those who refused to surrender were always killed on the spot, whereas those who surrendered would be branded with soul marks.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
In this one month, other than Liu Liyang, the number of Elders from the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect who had soul marks had increased to eleven, respectively, seven Elders from the Blood Licking Sect and four Elders from the Nine Demons Sect. Although the number seemed small, it was not at all a weak power.
In the beginning, Zhang En planned to take control of the Blood Licking Sect before moving on taking the action of conquering the Blood Licking Sect, but he had changed his mind, breaking through both sides simultaneously, speeding up the process to be able to control the City of Death under his control.
Because the Sky Mage Sect poured oil over the flames from behind the shadows, in this one month, the, the conflict between the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect had escalated to the point where one side did not get along with each other, like fire and water.
After the eleven Elders of these two powers submitted to him, the, zhang En's power of influence spread rapidly using the same trick of asking and inviting the Elders of the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect to a banquet, and subduing them one after another.
Two months later, a total of twenty-three Elders from the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect were handed over by Chen Xiaotian to Zhang En. The people who refused to submit numbered six and the six Elders who refused were instantly killed on the spot by Zhang En.
With the twenty-three combined Elders of the Blood Licking Sect, the Nine Demons Sect as well as the entire Heavenly Witch Sect Elders on his side, Zhang En had control over half of the power of Death City. Even if the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect made an alliance or directed their spearheads against him, Zhang En was confident that he could fight them simultaneously.

Inside the large hall of the Blood Licking Sect, the small-bodied Jiang Tianhua was sitting on the main seat with an ugly expression visible on his face. Just now, the Ruler of the Nine Demons Sect, Patriarch Hu Han, ordered that if the Blood Licking Sect did not hand over or punish Cui Ming, it should not, their Nine Demons Sect disciples would kill every single Blood Licking Sect disciple they encountered.
If he really handed Cui Ming over, wouldn't that be equal to his dignity as a Patriarch being trampled upon? How would he manage his Sect Elders in the future and how would they look at him? Moreover, Cui Ming was his left and right hand who was extremely loyal to him.
Jiang Tianhua grew even more furious as these thoughts swirled in his mind.
“Your Highness Sect Leader, Hu Han takes us too lightly! He actually acted as if our Blood Licking Sect was like a soft batter they could form as they pleased! "At this moment, one of the Elders present in the large hall stood up while shouting.
“That's right, Patriarch. If this thing we let will get worse, we have to fight them!” The other Elders of the Blood Licking Sect stifled his sentiments. However, these two Elders had actually already been subdued by Zhang En.
Another elder who had also been submissive under Zhang En's control said that in front of Jiang Tianhua, they were ready to fight to the death with the Nine Demons Sect.
"Patriak, how about we ally ourselves with the Sky Mage Sect?" At this point, a middle-aged Elder who had a high-looking posture suggested that. And this middle-aged man was none other than the Vice-Leader or the Great Elder of the Blood Licking Sect, Cui Ming.
“Allied with the Sky Witch Sect?” Jiang Tianhua was startled for a moment and then nodded slowly. In this situation, this is the only option.

Elsewhere.....
"Jiang Tuanhua sent Cui Ming to come to meet our side, wanting to discuss the alliance against the Nine Demons Sect ?" Zhang En looked at Chen Xiaotian who was beside him.
"Yes, Young Master!" Chen Xiaotian.
"He's outside, sitting in the big hall." Chen Xiaotian replied.
Zhang En nodded his head. Since two months ago, Zhang En had guessed that the Blood Licking Sect would try to make an alliance with the Sky Mage Sect. The conflict between the Blood Licking Sect and the Nine Demons Sect placed the Blood Licking Sect at an disadvantage if it was against the Nine Demons Sect which was clearly stronger than them. Finally, their last option was to ally with the Sky Mage Sect.
"Young Master, what's the next step?" Chen Xiaotian ventured to ask carefully.
“Tell him to come back.” Zhang En's tone sounded solemn, "Tell him that if the Blood Licking Sect wants to make an alliance with the Sky Mage Sect, Jiang Tianhua must come alone here and bring a gift."
Chen Xiaotian was astonished at Zhang En's words, before he had assumed that Zhang En would directly agree to form an alliance with the Blood Licking Sect.
"Good Young Master." Despite feeling hesitant for a moment, Chen Xiaotian did not dare to violate Zhang En's orders. He lau saluted and went towards the large hall to meet Cui Ming.
When Chen Xiaotian arrived at the large hall, he saw Cui Ming was sitting casually brewing a cup of tea.
Cui Ming did not stand up even after he saw Chen Xiaotian enter, he continued to enjoy his tea and said, "Patriak Chen, have you thought about it?" In Cui Ming's opinion, the Sky Mage Sect would definitely agree to their request. Otherwise, after the Nine Demons Sect destroyed the Blood Licking Sect, it would be difficult for the Sky Mage Sect to survive within the City of Death. In the end, the Sky Mage Sect would suffer the same fate as the Blood Licking Sect.
Seeing Cui Ming continue to drink tea comfortably, Chen Xiaotian then said "If the Blood Licking Sect wants to ally with us, let Jiang Tianhua come alone and bring a gift here."
Cui Ming had just sipped his tea again with a hand that was holding a cup and stopped as he stared foolishly at Chen Xiaotian for a moment, it was as if he did not expect Chen Xiaotian to actually reject their Sect offer.
"Patriak Chen, are you sure you want our Patriarch to come here by himself with a gift?" Cui Ming's face instantly turned ugly.
Chen Xiaotian replied to his remark briefly, "I'm sure you're not deaf."
"You!" Cui Ming was furious as he stood up from the chair
“What, you want to start the battle?” Chen Xiaotian ridiculed him.
Cui Ming suppressed his anger with great difficulty. He then said, “Good, good. I'll come back and report your words to our Patriarch. Patriarch Chen, I hope you won't regret today's decision!"
"Related?" Chen Xiaotian continued his remark "You can get away from here right now."
