Faced with the questioning of the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, cold sweat dripped from Zeyang Immortal Monarch's forehead, after all, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King was an Immortal King, and it seemed the Thunder Serpent Sect had recently had some conflict with the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Now, someone from his affiliated force under the Mysterious Moon Palace was running to the Thunder Serpent Sect, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King naturally had no pleasant expression towards him.

Zeyang Immortal Monarch quickly steadied his mind and then said, "I came here this time to discuss a trade deal with the Thunder Serpent Sect Master."

Hearing this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King chuckled, "A trade deal? You, an elder of an affiliated sect of the Mysterious Moon Palace, come to a rival sect to discuss a trade deal?"

"I'm very curious, is the trade you mentioned related to yourself, or did your Quicksand Sect Master send you?"

To be honest, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King didn't trust Zeyang Immortal Monarch at all at the moment. The current Mysterious Moon Palace was thriving in the Dragon Land, most importantly, they had two Immortal Kings.

In the entire Dragon Land, no sect was a match for the Mysterious Moon Palace. Logically speaking, no affiliated force wouldn't dare betray the Mysterious Moon Palace at this time, yet the Quicksand Sect secretly sent someone to contact the Thunder Serpent Sect, even proposing cooperation.

This had to make the Thunder Serpent Immortal King suspect that all this was a conspiracy by the Mysterious Moon Palace, maybe they were deliberately throwing out such a bait, and if he fell for it, the Thunder Serpent Sect would be trapped.

Although the Mysterious Moon Palace had already issued an Immortal Order to stop their affiliated forces from further expansion, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hadn't relaxed his guard but saw it as a way for the Mysterious Moon Palace to lull them. He believed the Mysterious Moon Palace would still have further actions.

As he expected, this further action arrived so quickly.

Despite suspecting it was a conspiracy, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King still planned to wait for Zeyang Immortal Monarch to finish speaking, wanting to see what medicine the Mysterious Moon Palace was selling in the gourd.

Seeing the Thunder Serpent Immortal King still guarded against him, Zeyang Immortal Monarch took the initiative to say, "It seems that Thunder Serpent Immortal King doesn't entirely trust me."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King coldly laughed again, Zeyang Immortal Monarch belonged to an affiliated sect under the Mysterious Moon Palace, how could he trust him so quickly?

Zeyang Immortal Monarch asked at this moment, "I wonder if the Thunder Serpent Sect is interested in recruiting an elder of Immortal King Level?"

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King was momentarily stunned upon hearing this question.

An elder of Immortal King Level?

What a joke, if an Immortal King really came to the Thunder Serpent Sect, they certainly wouldn't just be an elder, at the very least they would be a Deputy Sect Master.

But in the current Dragon Land, there were only three Immortal Kings, two of them were in the Mysterious Moon Palace, and the other was the Thunder Serpent Immortal King himself, where would the fourth Immortal King come from?

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King actually thought from the beginning, if their sect could win over or recruit an Immortal King, then their Thunder Serpent Sect would have much less pressure when facing the Mysterious Moon Palace.

Unfortunately, Dragon Land had no other Immortal King, he couldn't find anyone to recruit as an Immortal King.

After coming to his senses, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King coldly said, "Are you entertaining me? Where would the fourth Immortal King come from in Dragon Land?"

Zeyang Immortal Monarch said, "Indeed, there is none now, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King's brow furrowed, asking solemnly, "What do you mean?"

Zeyang Immortal Monarch straightforwardly said, "Our Sect Master has reached a critical stage for a breakthrough. If we can gather more Sect Qi Fortune, there's a high possibility of achieving Immortal King level within ten years."

Hearing this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King paused for a moment.

He seemed to understand why Zeyang Immortal Monarch came to the Thunder Serpent Sect for cooperation.

Seeing the Thunder Serpent Immortal King remain silent, Zeyang Immortal Monarch continued, "Originally, the Quicksand Sect expanded continuously to augment sect Qi Fortune to help our Sect Master achieve a breakthrough. However, Mysterious Moon Palace suddenly issued the Immortal Order prohibiting external expansion by affiliated forces."

"Without sufficient sect Qi Fortune, our Sect Master's breakthrough to become an Immortal King might face great risks."

"Therefore, if the Thunder Serpent Sect Master is willing to assist our Sect Master to achieve the Immortal King status, our Quicksand Sect is willing to join the Thunder Serpent Sect and become part of it."

Hearing this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's brows furrowed into a "川" character; Zeyang Immortal Monarch's words don't seem like a lie.

However...

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King then said, "I'm curious, if it's to become an Immortal King, why doesn't your Sect Master directly tell the Mysterious Moon Palace? Surely, the Mysterious Moon Palace would gladly welcome an additional Immortal King?"

In terms of strength, the Mysterious Moon Palace was far superior to the Thunder Serpent Sect, more importantly, the Mysterious Moon Palace was an Immortal Sect, while the Thunder Serpent Sect was just a Sect.

The difference between a Sect and an Immortal Sect is significant; the Qi Fortune of Immortal Sect greatly enhances the strength of its immortals, betraying Mysterious Moon Palace doesn't seem lucrative for the Quicksand Sect.

Zeyang Immortal Monarch had anticipated the Thunder Serpent Immortal King would ask this question, so he directly said, "Though the Mysterious Moon Palace is an Immortal Sect, it is ultimately an external force. Does the Thunder Serpent Immortal King think they trust our Quicksand Sect?"

"Most importantly, the Mysterious Moon Palace is already strong enough, even if our Sect Master became an Immortal King, it would make little difference there."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King instantly understood Zeyang Immortal Monarch's meaning, realizing it's better to be a head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Although somewhat displeased that the Quicksand Sect underestimated the Thunder Serpent Sect, truth be told, the Thunder Serpent Sect indeed cannot compare to the Mysterious Moon Palace. If the Quicksand Immortal Monarch truly became an Immortal King and joined the Thunder Serpent Sect, he indeed would be greatly utilized.

Without doubt, the Deputy Sect Master position is secure.

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King said, "I cannot yet confirm the truth of your words."

Zeyang Immortal Monarch then created a Memory Pearl containing the conversation between him and the Quicksand Immortal Monarch and used immortal power to bring the Memory Pearl before the Thunder Serpent Immortal King.

With skepticism, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King read the contents of the Memory Pearl, falling into contemplation after finishing the memories within.

It seems this matter is likely true.

However...

For the Thunder Serpent Sect, this matter poses a risk.

If the Thunder Serpent Sect truly assists the Quicksand Immortal Monarch in breaking through to the Immortal King Realm and the Quicksand Immortal Monarch suddenly refuses to join the Thunder Serpent Sect, then the Mysterious Moon Palace would gain another Immortal King, becoming even stronger.

Thinking of this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's fingers kept tapping on the throne. After an unknown amount of time, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King finally spoke, "If your Quicksand Sect genuinely intends to join the Thunder Serpent Sect, your Sect Master should personally visit, not send you as an elder."

Zeyang Immortal Monarch noticed the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's tone had softened significantly, indicating he probably believed him, so he said, "Of course."

"I'm just coming ahead to inform the Thunder Serpent Sect Master and to see if he's willing for the Thunder Serpent Sect to gain an additional Immortal King, as Immortal King is different from Immortal Monarch."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King immediately understood Zeyang Immortal Monarch's words, if it's only to recruit an Immortal Monarch, it wouldn't challenge the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's rule at all.

But if there's an additional Immortal King, the power the Thunder Serpent Immortal King holds may be diminished.
