Xianyuan Immortal King was clearly angered by the Black-Clothed Man just now. Although he was persuaded by the White Crane Immortal King, his anger had not completely subsided.
To prevent the situation just now from happening again and damaging their White Crane Squad's reputation, they decided to get straight to the point.
"If you have been to the Chaotic Sea, or have a proper understanding of the situation there, you will know that entering the Chaotic Sea is equivalent to entering a place full of danger everywhere."
"No one can guarantee that every entry will end in a fruitful return, let alone guarantee a hundred percent safe return."
"This requires everyone participating in the White Crane Squad to be honest with each other. Only then can there be trust, and only then can you feel at ease and make others feel at ease when encountering danger."
As his voice fell.
The expressions of the four people still waiting in the courtyard changed slightly.
They were clearly a bit hesitant.
"Haha, that makes sense. Since we're joining a team, we should naturally trust each other."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
The voice, however, came from outside the courtyard.
Everyone looked towards the courtyard entrance.
They saw a richly dressed man appearing at the courtyard entrance with seven or eight people, including the Black-Clothed Man who had just left.
The Black-Clothed Man had a smug expression.
He walked into the courtyard again.
"White Crane Immortal King, didn't expect this, did you? I'm back so soon. I just said that if this place doesn't keep me, there are other places that will."
"Your White Crane Squad just travels back and forth to the Chaotic Sea a bit more often, what's so great about that? It's giving you face that I'm willing to join, yet you ask so many questions, insisting on prying into my background. Why?"
"Now, I don't need to explain anything, and I've still joined a team."
"The Blood Moon Gang's reputation is by no means inferior to your White Crane Squad!"
Damn it!
This Black-Clothed Man, from just leaving to returning, probably took less than two minutes, and he was so eager to show off. This was clearly a deliberate provocation.
Moreover, he came with another adventure team. If you said this wasn't deliberately coming to slap their face, who the hell would believe it?
At this moment.
Even if the White Crane Immortal King was unwilling to easily make enemies, he couldn't tolerate this.
They were being directly slapped in the face at their doorstep. If they could still tolerate this, the White Crane Squad's reputation would be completely ruined. Who would still believe them, and who would dare to join?
Not to mention anything else.
Just by looking at the expressions of the Immortal Kings waiting in the courtyard, who already showed signs of backing down, they could see some warning signs.
The White Crane Immortal King quickly stepped forward.
His sharp gaze directly met that of the leading golden-robed man opposite him. The golden-robed man was the leader of the Blood Moon Gang, the Yellow Blood Immortal King.
"Yellow Blood, what is the meaning of this?"
"My White Crane Squad and your Blood Moon Gang have always kept to ourselves!"
The Yellow Blood Immortal King laughed heartily, took a few steps forward, and stood at the very front.
"Exactly!"
"Our Blood Moon Gang and your White Crane Squad indeed keep to ourselves. However, I told you long ago that our Blood Moon Gang intends to expand and further create a stronger team. We want you to bring the White Crane Squad and merge it in. Why have you been so hesitant to agree?"
"I've given you face, but you can't always refuse to give me face, can you?"
The White Crane Immortal King was nearly exploding with rage.
"What do you mean I'm not giving you face?"
"Your Blood Moon Gang wanting to expand is your own business. I haven't said anything against it, have I? That's already enough. Why should my White Crane Squad have to merge just because you tell us to?"
"Where in the world is there such a principle?"
"Haha, might makes right! My Blood Moon Gang's strength is greater than your White Crane Squad's, that's the principle. If I tell your White Crane Squad to merge and you don't, you're not giving me face. If you don't give me face, I have to suppress you!"
Yellow Blood said wildly.
His gaze swept around.
"Everyone in the courtyard, you should know how to choose now, right?"
"You... Yellow Blood, what the hell do you want?"
The White Crane Immortal King's eyes were bloodshot.
This wasn't just slapping their face at the door anymore, but directly trampling on them.
He was truly frustrated. If they hadn't been unlucky enough to encounter the immortal emperor's remains during their last trip to the Chaotic Sea and been caught in the chaotic fight, causing them to lose four Immortal Kings, the Blood Moon Gang wouldn't have been much stronger than them, and where would they get the nerve to be this arrogant now?
But reality simply didn't have that many 'ifs'.
The four Immortal Kings in the courtyard who were still hesitant completely ignored the White Crane Immortal King's anger and walked up to Yellow Blood one after another.
"Yellow Blood Immortal King, we have also heard of the Blood Moon Gang's reputation. We are willing to join the Blood Moon Gang, please accept us!"
"Hahaha... Good!"
The Yellow Blood Immortal King laughed heartily, his expression even more smug.
In his opinion, these four Immortal Kings who were originally supposed to join the White Crane Squad defecting and choosing to join the Blood Moon Gang was simply a divine assist.
Moreover, this was a case of one rising as the other falls.
After this incident, the Blood Moon Gang and the White Crane Squad, whose strengths were originally not far apart, would see the White Crane Squad's reputation plummet.
They would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Blood Moon Gang.
"White Crane Immortal King, do you see... your recruitment plan for today is completely ruined. With my Blood Moon Gang here, it's impossible for anyone else to join your White Crane Squad today."
"Oh no... not just today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... every day from now on, it will be like this."
"As long as your White Crane Squad recruits, my Blood Moon Gang will definitely show up. Unless you agree to merge, otherwise, I'll make sure your White Crane Squad from now on... Hmm, why is there still one person?"
Yellow Blood's expression changed before he finished speaking.
He noticed that on one side of the courtyard, there was actually a handsome young man who had not actively chosen to join the Blood Moon Gang like those four Immortal Kings.
Seeing that Yellow Blood's expression was off, the Black-Clothed Man from before eagerly darted out.
He appeared directly in front of Li Yun.
A burst of killing intent erupted from him.
Faintly, a giant black bear phantom materialized.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone else has joined the Blood Moon Gang, only you are standing still. What do you want? Do you want to be enemies with my Blood Moon Gang?"
At this question from the Black-Clothed Man, the White Crane Squad on the other side also just reacted.
They were so focused on being angry that they didn't even notice there was still Li Yun in the courtyard. The main reason was that Li Yun was too low-key, his aura was extremely restrained, completely hidden within the Profound Gate World, making him appear as ordinary as a speck of dust.
He also didn't talk much, so he really had no presence.
Seeing that the Black-Clothed Man was actually intimidating Li Yun, the White Crane Immortal King immediately flashed over, ready to shield Li Yun from the Black-Clothed Man's killing intent.
But Li Yun also spoke.
He looked at the Black-Clothed Man indifferently, his expression completely unchanged.
"None of your business!"
