Chapter 564: Invitations from Three Parties



Compared to the indifferent Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo, Fu Qiuzi had a deeper understanding of the situation here and explained everything very clearly.

"Then which alliance did you join?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Fu Qiuzi shook his head, "None."

Li Qianluo sized up Fu Qiuzi and said, "Why haven't they approached your Tianmu Race? Your Tianmu Race is also strong; I really admire your eyes."

The nine eyes of the Tianmu Race were extremely powerful. Although Fu Qiuzi almost faced extinction when confronting the Giant Spirit Race, it was because the Giant Spirit was too strong, and most cultivators here found themselves helpless against it. In fact, if Fu Qiuzi were to confront a normal cultivator, with his mid-stage Heavenly Connection cultivation, he would not necessarily be much weaker, perhaps even comparable to Jiao Yingguang.

Fu Qiuzi said helplessly, "To be honest, they did send people to find me, but our ancestral teachings forbid dealings with the Demon Tentacle Race, so naturally, I wouldn't go there. As for the Night Demon Tribe and Moon God Race, it would be possible, but—"

He paused, then continued, "Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong from the Panjiao Race joined the Moon God Race-led Guangmang Valley. The Panjiao Race has always had good relations with the Moon God Race, so I worry... In short, you two have helped us before, and if we end up on opposing sides, it would be difficult for me, which is why I didn't go."

Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo exchanged glances.

"You really are straightforward," Li Qianluo remarked.

In fact, when they originally helped Fu Qiuzi, it was unintentional, but he still remembered their kindness.

"Our Tianmu Race always follows principles," Fu Qiuzi said, "so I've decided to side with you two. Whatever camp you join, I will choose to stand with you, so that if conflicts arise later, we won't be on opposite sides."

The situation here had completely changed, and if one didn't choose a side, going it alone would certainly make one a target. Fu Qiuzi had to consider his people and thus needed to learn to take sides. However, before doing so, he chose to inquire about the intentions of Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo, to join the same alliance with them, ensuring that it wouldn't be difficult for him.

"Even such a small place has started to become internally competitive?" Xiang Beifei muttered to himself.

Now, a tripartite stand-off had emerged.

Everyone was choosing sides, seeking powerful alliances. Not choosing a side meant being ostracized. Unable to advance or leave, and with limited territory, those with power raised their banners to lead, while those without could only follow others seeking protection.

Xiang Beifei was pondering this when suddenly, a whistling sound came from outside, followed by a figure approaching and landing in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it was a cultivator from the Sading Race, Sapu.

Although they had never formally interacted, Xiang Beifei recognized him at once. At the very beginning, Sapu had a dispute with Jiao Yingguang and fought fiercely, all of which was witnessed by a crowd of cultivators.

"Daoist Xiang, I am Sapu from the Sading Race, I've long admired your reputation!" Sapu extended his huge claws, clasping them in front of his chest and slapping his own thorax, a gesture of courtesy in their Sading Race.

"It's good to see you well," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

Sapu looked straightforward and said, "Daoist Xiang may not be aware, but I am very grateful to you. We have always had conflicts with the Panjiao Race, and Daoist Xiang, by eliminating Jiao Yingguang last time, avenged us in a way, for which I want to thank you."

Xiang Beifei did not speak, just looked at him thoughtfully.

He knew Sapu's visit wasn't just about expressing thanks.

Sapu continued quickly, "Not to conceal from Daoist Xiang, I come as a representative of the Heavenly Demon Assembly to invite Daoist Xiang to join. You must have heard about the current situation; it's a time of division here, and the Heavenly Demon Assembly also hopes to earn Daoist Xiang's support to find a way out of this place. What does Daoist Xiang think?"

Sapu had revealed his purpose, extending an olive branch to Xiang Beifei.

When Xiang Beifei killed Jiao Yingguang, all the cultivators had witnessed it. Although there were not a few stronger than Jiao Yingguang here, Xiang Beifei's decisive strike had left a deep impression on everyone.

"Join the Heavenly Demon Assembly?"

Xiang Beifei had not yet had a chance to respond when suddenly another presence swept over and landed on the cliff.

"Daoist Xiang, instead of joining the Heavenly Demon Assembly, why not join us in Guangmang Valley, following the will of the God of Light who will guide us out of this predicament."

A woman in white robes, radiating sanctity, walked towards Xiang Beifei. The woman, blessed with stunning beauty, stood out even in a crowd. She had four pairs of white wings on her back, fluttering softly, emitting a faint Holy Light.

She approached with a smile, as if bringing the warmth of spring.

"Excuse my intrusion, I am Kana, a four-winged elder of the Moon God Race," Kana said to Xiang Beifei, greeting him respectfully.

Moon God Race!

Xiang Beifei's gaze shifted slightly.

Xiang Beifei was no stranger to the Moon God Race, a race of beings whose appearance was holy, but once their murderous intentions were revealed, they would degenerate into the hideous horned, meat-winged monsters he had witnessed at Si Hou and the Floating Immortal Isles.

One absolutely could not trust individuals of this race.

He had also vaguely figured out how to distinguish the strength of the Moon God Race's experts. Those with two wings were basically below the Heavenly Connection realm, once they stepped into the Heavenly Connection realm, they would possess four wings, and those in the late stages of the Heavenly Connection realm would have six wings!

Kana in front of him had the strength of four wings. She was unaware of what Xiang Beifei had done in Si Hou because the deaths of Ri An and Ye Ji were very abrupt, and Xiang Beifei had covered his tracks well, so it was still unknown that it was Xiang Beifei who killed Ri An and Ye Ji. She was here representing Light Valley to recruit him.

Exuding an aura of sanctity, Kana spoke in an approachable manner, "Daoist Xiang, with such strength at a young age, you have obtained the recognition of our Divine Lord, who wishes to offer you a clear path."

"Offer me a clear path? Has your Divine Lord found a way out?" Xiang Beifei asked, puzzled.

"Not yet, but the Divine Lord has said that as long as we unite, we can get through these tough times together. Sincerity brings spiritual power; our Divine Lord has always been protecting us, especially instructing us to establish Light Valley to lead all Daoist friends here out of darkness and into the light."

When Kana spoke, her voice was crisp and melodious, highly persuasive; even those with strong wills couldn't help but be drawn to her words. The Moon God Race naturally possessed a charisma that others found hard to resist, which was especially effective in recruiting talents in times like these.

"Who is your Divine Lord? That Flaming Six Wings?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Gently, Kana responded, "No, Flaming Six Wings is God's messenger, responsible for communicating with the Divine Lord, conveying their will, and providing us with a way forward."

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment before saying, "I heard that the Panjiao Race joined your Light Valley; are you sure it's appropriate for me to join your Guangmang Valley?"

"Our Guangmang Valley was established in accordance with the Divine Lord's wishes—tolerant, just, and loving. Jiao Yingguang instigated trouble first, which is witnessed by all, and now that everyone is trapped here, it's natural to put aside preconceptions and tackle difficulties together. The goal of Guangmang Valley is to provide guidance to Daoist friends of all races."

When Kana said this, it seemed heartfelt and natural, inherently equipped with an irresistible persuasive power.

If Xiang Beifei wasn't aware of the actions of the Meat-Winged Monster and Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage against the Human Race in Hanxia back then, he might have actually believed this manipulation.

Xiang Beifei observed the Heavenly Dao Laws related to the communication of Kana, seeing that perhaps due to the Meat-Winged Monsters sacrificing themselves to the underworld, the divine laws above their heads appeared as a pool of spring water glowing yellow.

However, it seemed that a terrifying monster was encased within the spring water, glaring at Xiang Beifei with cold eyes.

Xiang Beifei smiled faintly; now he knew how to deal with a Meat-Winged Monster. Could a mere underworld spring overcome him?

He was still contemplating how to handle the Moon God Race when another voice arrived.

"Daoist Xiang, the gates of the Dawn Alliance are also open to you," another woman approached slowly.

Turning his head, he saw the Demon Tentacle Race's split-mouth woman.

Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage!

Xiang Beifei frowned again.

The split-mouth woman seemed to be smiling, her mouth splitting up to her ears. Her eerie appearance seemed like a provocation to Xiang Beifei of the Human Race.

By her side was a burly man with his head split in half, familiar to those present and recognized for his strength since he had managed to cross the Giant Spirit Village several times as if no one was there.

"Daoist Xiang, I am You from the Demon Tentacle Race, and this is my companion Zhen, specifically instructed by the High Priest to invite Daoist Xiang," the split-mouth woman said, grinning with a ferocious wide mouth.

The burly, split-head man looked at Xiang Beifei darkly, his disdain for Xiang Beifei not hidden in the slightest.

Xiang Beifei remained noncommittal. He knew that his identity could hardly be concealed from Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage. After all, with the capabilities of Ghost Whiskers, it was impossible not to have heard of him. Zi Hou's Ghost Whiskers had been destroyed by him two years ago, and what he looked like was certainly known to Ghost Whiskers.

His presence in the Land of Inheritance was coincidental, and thus he had always shown his true face but had overlooked this fact.

The split-mouth woman and the split-head man, both mid-stage Heavenly Connection realm Ghost Whiskers, had murdered pioneers of Jiuzhou and taken over the bodies of humans. They were clearly aware that Xiang Beifei was human, yet they still came here to invite him, which was essentially a blatant challenge.

Or perhaps, it was a test of Xiang Beifei's reaction.

But Xiang Beifei only looked at the two unwaveringly, without any reaction, seemingly indifferent to whom they possessed.

Now, with three powers inviting Xiang Beifei to join them, the atmosphere had shifted distinctly, drawing many curious high-level fighters of various races. After all, Xiang Beifei had always been the focus of attention these days; many cultivators wanted to know which power he would ultimately join.
