"Sect Leader, what do you mean?"
Lin Xiao looked at the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect with confusion in his eyes. For some reason, he felt that the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect did not want him to join the Equipment Refining Sect.
"I …"
The Sect Leader of the Kong Sect hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "I just feel that Sect Leader Lin is not the kind of person who would join other sects."
"This …"
Needless to say, the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect's words had hit the nail on the head and pointed out Lin Xiao's character.
No matter how strong the other party was, Lin Xiao would not be willing to be someone's underling. Lin Xiao would either be above others or be free. Who would want to be someone's underling?
However, Lin Xiao and the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect had not interacted much. Lin Xiao was surprised that the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect had accurately grasped his character.
Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitation, the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect frowned and continued, "Am I wrong?
Sect Leader Lin, I sincerely want to be your friend. I hope you won't hide anything from me. "
"In that case, I won't hide anything from you!"
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xiao slowly opened his mouth and said, "Sect Master, you're right. I'm not the kind of person who will be a follower. This time, I just want to hide in the Equipment Refining Sect and find an opportunity to make the three hidden sects fight each other thoroughly. Then, I can reap the benefits and successfully unify the Firmament World."
Since the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect had already guessed it, Lin Xiao did not hide anything. He directly told him what he should and should not say.
There was no other way!
Now that Lin Xiao needed the cooperation of the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect, telling him the truth would allow him to cooperate better. Therefore, Lin Xiao was very direct.
"Sect Leader Lin, you …"
The Sect Leader of the Kong Sect did not know what to say to such an "honest" Lin Xiao.
Looking at the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect with a smile, Lin Xiao shrugged and said helplessly, "Sect Leader, I'm telling the truth this time. Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"No, I believe you."
Glancing at Lin Xiao, the Sect Master of the Kong Sect sighed and said with a smile, "I believe that what you said is true. I just didn't expect you to be so honest."
"The premise of cooperation is to treat each other with sincerity!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled faintly and stared meaningfully at the Sect Leader of the Void Sect, "Come to think of it, we've known each other for so long yet I don't even know your name or your background!"
In fact, Lin Xiao wasn't too interested in the background and name of the Void Sect's Sect Master. He only asked in hopes that the Void Sect's Sect Master would show some sincerity.
However, he did not expect that when the leader of the Kong Sect heard this, his eyes became serious. He looked at him and said, "Even if you didn't ask me, I was going to tell you!
Do you know about the ancient war a thousand years ago? "
The ancient war?
Could it be the Battle of Annihilation?
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded his head honestly. He replied, "If you're talking about the Battle of Annihilation during the foreign invasion, I've heard of it."
"I didn't expect you to know about it. That saves me a lot of explaining."
Looking at Lin Xiao with surprise, the Sect Master of the Kong Sect continued, "Since you know about the ancient war, you should know that after the ancient war, many people from the foreign region were trapped in the Firmament World."
"I know."
Lin Xiao nodded his head and looked curiously at the Sect Master of the Kong Sect. He asked in disbelief, "Sect Master, are you going to tell me that the people of the Kong Sect are all from the foreign region?"
"That's right. To be honest, the Kong Sect is from the foreign region!"
Nodding his head slightly, the Sect Master of the Kong Sect said slowly, "During the ancient war, the passage between the Firmament World and the foreign region was broken. We were trapped here and couldn't leave. We could only build the Kong Sect here."
This …
Lin Xiao could not believe the words of the Sect Master of the Kong Sect. He did not understand why the Sect Master of the Kong Sect would tell him. After all, they were from the foreign region. This was a secret.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at the Sect Master of the Kong Sect and asked curiously, "Sect Master, you don't have to tell me about this. Aren't you afraid that I'll deal with you once I know your identity?
After all, you're from the foreign region. We're not from the same world. "
"Afraid?
What's there to be afraid of?
We've been hiding in the Firmament World for so long. There's no point in hiding any longer. What's more, your goal is to unify the Firmament World, and we just want to live in peace. It shouldn't affect you, right? "
The Sect Master of the Kong Sect looked at Lin Xiao and seemed to be tired. He sighed and continued, "Moreover, if you really need to be afraid, it should be the Equipment Sect!
I think they'll soon realize what a big mistake they've made. Don't you think so? "
"This …"
Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He looked at the Sect Master of the Kong Sect and asked, "Are the people from the Equipment Sect also from the foreign region?
But you're all from the foreign region. Why do you seem to dislike the Equipment Sect? When I said that I wanted to join the Equipment Sect, your reaction was very strange. "
"Of course, although the Equipment Sect is also from the foreign region, they don't come from the same place as us. You could even say that we're enemies!"
The Sect Master of the Void Sect looked at Lin Xiao and smiled exasperatedly, "All these years, we've been hiding very well. The members of the Armament Sect have no idea that it's us. If they ever find out, I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to survive. Hence, I'd rather work with the Shura Sect and the Murong family than work with them!"
"I see."
Lin Xiao nodded and looked at the Sect Master of the Kong Sect. He continued, "Don't worry, I won't take you back to the Equipment Sect or expose you."
"I believe you."
The Sect Master of the Kong Sect glanced at Lin Xiao and continued, "I've told you everything I should. Now, let's talk about our cooperation, shall we?"
The Sect Master of the Kong Sect was left with no other choice. The Three Hidden Sects could be said to be his enemies. Based on the power of the Kong Sect, if he wanted to survive in the cracks, he could only choose Lin Xiao.
The Sect Master of the Kong Sect was now well aware of Lin Xiao's ambitions. It was because of this understanding that the Sect Master of the Kong Sect had chosen to work with Lin Xiao. After all, what Lin Xiao wanted did not conflict with what they wanted.
"Of course, I hope that we'll have a pleasant cooperation!"
At that moment, Lin Xiao flashed a satisfied smile. He looked at the Sect Master of the Kong Sect and continued, "Our cooperation is very simple. Of course, it's to destroy the powerful cultivators from the Asura Sect, the Murong Family, and the Equipment Sect!
Since they had the audacity to break into my territory, I won't let them leave! "
