Time quickly passed and two months passed in the blink of an eye. The Void Race worked day and night on Tigerfang Star. There was less than a month left before the opening of the portal. The Demon King, who had made an agreement beforehand, had already set off for Io Nebula. On the other side, the Saint King also set off, but he set off alone. The Insect Queen was nowhere to be found.
When the Demon King arrived on Tigerfang Star, Qinchuan and Chang Tian warmly welcomed him. However, Lü Zi, Zhou Lin, and Bai Yuu didn't have any good feelings towards the Demon King. The Demon King had almost killed Qinchuan in the past, and they still remembered this grudge. As the leader of this operation, Qinchuan could temporarily put aside past grudges, but this didn't mean that they had to do the same.
The Demon King sensed this, but he didn't care. This was because he had come to counterattack the Void Empire and end Yu's evil life. He wasn't here to make friends, so he didn't care what Lü Zi and the others thought of him.
When the Saint King arrived, Qinchuan and Chang Tian were surprised. This was because they could clearly see that the Insect Queen's white glove was no longer on the Saint King's right arm. Could it be that the Insect Queen was going to guard the Holy Cluster?
Although Qinchuan and Chang Tian didn't voice their doubts, the Saint King keenly sensed the changes in their emotions. Before anyone could ask, the Saint King took the initiative to explain, "The Insect Queen and I have already parted ways. I don't know if she will participate in this operation."
Hearing this, Qinchuan couldn't help but be shocked. The Saint King and the Insect Queen had a falling out?
Why did this sound like a ghost story?
Not to mention Qinchuan, no one present believed the Saint King's words. The Saint King and the Insect Queen could be said to be one. They were bound together for good or ill, so how could they fall out?
The Saint Emperor saw that no one believed his words and wasn't willing to explain. He glanced at Qinchuan and said, "If you think that it's meaningless for me to come alone, then I can act alone."
Qinchuan smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. We're just gossiping. We don't have any other intentions. We welcome your arrival."
Although Qinchuan and the Heavenly King had some grudges in the past, they could temporarily put aside these grievances in the face of the current situation. As for whether the Heavenly King and the Insect Queen had truly fallen out or had other thoughts, he didn't care.
Now that everyone had gathered on Tigerfang Star, it was time to settle some things.
Qinchuan gathered everyone and said, "Now that we're all part of the same team, but for some reason, we can't completely trust each other. So, I propose that we make an alliance."
After hearing Qinchuan's proposal, the Demon King sneered and said, "That's good. Otherwise, someone might stab us in the back."
The Heavenly King faintly said, "I agree."
Since the Demon King and the Heavenly King didn't have any objections, the others naturally didn't have any. Qinchuan's alliance was very simple. They couldn't do anything that would harm their alliance for a year.
"Although we may only be able to enter the Void Empire for a month, I think a year is the best time. After a year, we can settle our grudges with a smile. It won't be a problem."
Qinchuan had already thought about the duration of this alliance a long time ago. If it was too short, who knew if they would be delayed in entering the Void Empire. This would cause the alliance to become invalid and everyone would be suspicious of each other.
In addition, after the war, there would definitely be people who would be injured. It was also necessary to give these injured people a safe and undisturbed environment to recuperate. Therefore, a one-year period was the most suitable.
After hearing Qinchuan's words, the Demon King and the Heavenly King expressed their stance again. They had no objections, and so did the others.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Qinchuan asked everyone to form an alliance using their minds. After confirming that there were no problems with the alliance, they quickly formed the alliance. As a result, the atmosphere eased up quite a bit.
"There's still some time before the portal opens, so I'll cultivate on Tigerfang for the time being. When the portal opens, I'll naturally appear."
After forming the alliance, the Demon King bade farewell to everyone. The Heavenly King did the same. He went to find a quiet place to cultivate alone. As for Qinchuan's group, they were still summarizing and perfecting their plan.
In the process of summarizing and perfecting their plan, Heaven sighed and said to everyone, "Our enemy is clearly only Yu, but we're being so cautious as if we're facing an army of thousands. I really don't know how Yu will feel when he finds out about this, and whether he's prepared enough."
Qinchuan smiled and said to Heaven, "I'm guessing that Yu won't make any special preparations. He's a very proud and conceited person. In his eyes, we're probably just a mob. He won't care about us at all."
Heaven glanced at Qinchuan and said, "If that's really what he thinks and does, then I'll be relieved. An arrogant and conceited opponent is definitely the easiest to deal with."
"So, we …"
Qinchuan was about to say something to Heaven when he suddenly sensed something. He raised his head and looked into the distance. A white figure was approaching from afar and landed in front of everyone in an instant.
Qinchuan had seen this person once before. It was the Insect Queen who had parted ways with the Sage Emperor!
Seeing the Insect Queen's arrival, Qinchuan and the others looked at the Insect Queen with a strange expression. They clearly remembered what the Sage Emperor had said before. They didn't know what the Insect Queen wanted to do with them now.
Facing everyone's gazes, the Insect Queen was calm and composed. She asked, "Bai Xing is here, right?"
Bai Xing?
Qinchuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this should be the Sage Emperor's name. He nodded and replied, "That's right. The Sage Emperor came to Tiger Fang Planet not long ago and joined our team. We've already formed an alliance."
Hearing Qinchuan's reply, the Insect Queen said to Qinchuan, "If that's the case, then I'll join your team as well. However, I have one request, and that is to not let Bai Xing know that I've been here."
Qinchuan looked at the Insect Queen in confusion and said, "If you join the alliance, then the Sage Emperor will definitely know that you've been here."
The Insect Queen said calmly, "Then I won't join your alliance."
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. If you don't want to join our alliance, then I can't let you join our team."
