Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

```

"Hmm?"

Alkaid looked at Xie Yi'er.

Waiting for her explanation.

And she didn't beat around the bush.

"During this period, we've been continuously hunting down the Rebirth Society. Even though we've never managed to eliminate that monster from the Moon Demon Empire, we've killed quite a few of the Rebirth Society's higher-ups and obtained a lot of crucial intelligence from those high-ranking members,"

Xie Yi'er said, "The entire Rebirth Society is collecting information about you, and they consider you their greatest enemy."

Her gaze flickered slightly, "Holding the belief that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, we found you the first thing and we also believe that there must be something incredible about you that makes the Rebirth Society treat you with such caution."

Alkaid keenly caught the subtle change in Xie Yi'er's eyes.

After a moment of thought, he quickly understood what she was thinking.

"You suspect that I am also from the Moon Demon Empire but not on the same side as the Rebirth Society? Just like how the Xie Family and Jiang Family are both part of the Artifact Sect but belong to different factions,"

Alkaid said.

Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, and others couldn't help but steal a glance at Alkaid.

Especially Ji Pingtian...

Even though he had personally tested him not long ago and verified that Alkaid had no connection to the Rebirth Society.

But...

Since Alkaid could make the Rebirth Society treat him with such caution, his identity must be not far off.

Possibly like that terrifying existence in the Rebirth Society, both could be on par with one who has "established the Dao Foundation."

For beings of such existence hiding their true nature from someone like Ji Pingtian, a Divine Intent Martial Saint, would be effortlessly possible.

Furthermore, just as Xie Yi'er said, maybe Alkaid and those from the Rebirth Society did not follow the same path and hence were hostile towards each other.

"Factions aren't important, nor are identities. To judge whether a being is good or bad, what's important is to observe their words and deeds,"

Xie Yi'er stated directly, "The Cangwu Great World has never lacked the broad-mindedness to embrace all rivers. Inside our Artifact Sect, there aren't only members of the Human Race but also Beastmen, Sea Race, Artifact Spirits, and so on. As long as they recognize our Human Race's stance and integrate into our culture, we can also regard them as one of us."

Her remarks also made Ji Pingtian nod in agreement secretly.

Origins, species, and backgrounds were not important; what mattered was their attitude.

Moreover, all of these were just speculations; the specific truth was still unknown.

The interaction during this period had already made Ji Pingtian and the others recognize Alkaid's identity, and they wouldn't just do things beneficial to the adversary over speculation from outsiders.

They weren't that foolish.

"The Rebirth Society."

Alkaid thought about that person who claimed to be the Soul Commander from the sixth fleet of the Divine City's expeditionary force of the Moon Demon Empire, Leng Tianfeng.

From the information absorbed from the Soul Capturing Orb, it wasn't hard to guess that he hadn't truly died.

And he had said himself that when he conversed with him, he was merely using an avatar.

Furthermore, considering the message he deliberately left behind when he "died"...

He even suspected that the Moon Demon creature that had possessed Marshal Xie Boen might be Leng Tianfeng's true body.

Arriving in person, intending to settle old scores.

In such a case, a confrontation between the two of them was indeed inevitable.

With that thought, he asked, "What are your plans for cooperation?"

Xie Yi'er's eyes brightened, and she hurriedly said, "We hope that Lord Alkaid will join our team for the encirclement and suppression of the Rebirth Society, and help lure out the remnants of the Rebirth Society."

She added, "Since Lord Alkaid is the Rebirth Society's number one bounty target, if you act and alert those rats hiding in the dark to an opportunity, they will definitely come out at the first chance..."

"Not necessarily so."

Alkaid said, "Since that possessed creature that took over Marshal Xie Boen only needs some time to recover, they might as well disappear for a while until they are fully healed. After gaining the power of a Celestial, they would then come back to sweep across the world."

"Therefore, we need to create a momentum."

Xie Yi'er looked at Alkaid with sincerity in her eyes, "We will announce to the public that you are on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm..."

Upon finishing, she immediately said, "Of course, to show our sincerity, we are willing to provide all the cultivation resources you need and hope to truly stack you up to the level of a High Rank cultivator quickly and efficiently so you possess the qualifications to confront the creatures from the Rebirth Society."

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

Were the people of the Snow Dragon Empire so kind-hearted?

To put it bluntly, weren't they afraid of nurturing a threat?

Perhaps...

They had plans he didn't understand?

However...

Regardless of their plans, from the current situation, it seemed the Snow Dragon Empire was indeed very sincere.

Of course, the precondition was they were truly willing to provide tangible benefits.

"That sounds very good."

Alkaid calmly said, "However, I need to see your sincerity."

"We will prepare and send you the cultivation resources you need as soon as possible..."

"There's no rush for the cultivation resources."

Alkaid said, "You plan to use me as bait to lure out the creature that possessed Marshal Xie Boen... If this plan really works, I will most certainly be in great danger, hence, I will need the Snow Dragon Empire's top-notch Divine Battle Armor."

Xie Yi'er hesitated for a moment but soon said, "I will report this to the Emperor immediately, and I imagine you will get a satisfactory answer very soon."

"Go ahead."

Alkaid responded.

```

"Excuse me."

Xie Yi'er bowed slightly and withdrew.

Only after Xie Yi'er had left did Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, and the others come forward and say, "The Rebirth Society is our common enemy, which is why we took the liberty of introducing Princess Xie Yi'er to come to discuss a partnership with you.

If we can join forces with the Snow Dragon Federation, the pressure we face, whether from the Rebirth Society or Red Star, will be significantly reduced."

"I understand," Alkaid replied, nodding slightly.

To the Grand Alliance, and indeed to the world's great clans and Royal Families, the Snow Dragon Federation and the Red Star Empire were both formidable and daunting forces.

Rooted in the Artifact Sect, they possessed a foundation so strong it could drive any contender to despair.

Just like the original intent of founding the Grand Alliance, it was never about opposing Red Star; the conflict with Red Star was merely a means to secure a referral slot to the Artifact Sect.

However, an unexpected change at the Artifact Sect prevented the Stellar Gates from opening for decades, thwarting their goal, and what began as a snatch for quotas turned into a fight for development and self-preservation under the oppression of Red Star and Snow Dragon, striving to form a tri-polar world structure.

The fear of Red Star and Snow Dragon was deeply ingrained in the bones of all people and powers.

The Snow Dragon Federation's offer to collaborate was a golden opportunity they had long wished for and dared not miss.

"Very well, you must build up your own forces quickly. If you wish to become one of the world's tri-polar powers, you can't rely solely on me," said Alkaid.

Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, and the others were invigorated and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Chairman. In today's world, many nations have long been wearied by Red Star. Especially now, the actions of the Snow Dragon Federation are making every Royal Family feel threatened. The enthusiasm to join our Grand Alliance has become unprecedentedly high.

It won't take long for this Alliance, centered around the Grand Alliance, to truly possess the influence to become a tri-polar world power."

"Good," Alkaid nodded and added, "Don't forget to collect the entrance fee."

"Understood," Ji Pingtian nodded quickly. "Compared to Red Star, which demands money without affording them any dignity or status, we only ask for a contribution of materials in exchange for protecting their safety. It's much to ask for, and almost no nation has rejected our reasonable request to join the alliance."

He was stating facts.

For these Royal Families, spending money was a trifle.

After all, once money reaches a certain amount, it becomes just a number.

There may not be a big difference between living with a fortune of a hundred billion and one of a trillion.

As long as their status and safety could be ensured, all else was negotiable.

"That's good, you may go now," Alkaid gestured with a wave of his hand.

Ji Pingtian, Hong Chuan, and the others bowed and took their leave.

No sooner had they left than Kong Fang could not help but say, "Chairman Alkaid… the path that the Grand Alliance takes may not be the same as ours, and that Snow Dragon Federation definitely does not have good intentions in cooperating with us…"

"I know," Alkaid interrupted him.

He looked at the Grand Procurator, who had initially been hostile to him but now served him wholeheartedly, and finally added, "It all comes down to whose methods are superior."

Hearing Alkaid speak thus, Kong Fang fell silent for a moment before finally nodding.

He knew that he could not influence Alkaid's decisions.

Alkaid had his own plans.

His growth had hit a bottleneck, and unless he was willing to persevere for ten or eight years, he had to seek out variability.

Just as he had said, it all came down to methods.

...

Elsewhere.

Not long after Xie Yi'er left Emperor Yu's Mountain Villa, she boarded a specialized communication vehicle.

The vehicle was full of all sorts of electronic equipment, exuding a sci-fi allure.

Shortly after getting on, Xie Yi'er had already connected the signal, and a figure soon appeared on the other side.

It was the President of the Snow Dragon Federation, Xie Lang.

"How did it go?"

"He agreed," Xie Yi'er said somewhat excitedly.

She then added, "However, besides the cultivation materials, he made another demand, hoping we could gift him a set of top-tier Divine Battle Armor to cope with the attack from the Rebirth Society's monster."

Xie Lang nodded slightly, "To set his mind at ease, let him have it."

He squinted his eyes, "As long as we can get hold of the Stellar Gate technology controlled by the Moon Demon Empire behind the Rebirth Society and reconnect with the Artifact Sect, everything is worth it."

Xie Yi'er listened but was somewhat hesitant, "Can we really reconnect with the Sect through the Rebirth Society's Stellar Gate technology?"

"Wasn't that Moon Demon Empire creature able to descend smoothly by utilizing the coordinates we sent when opening the Stellar Gate? The researchers at the Stellar Gate Institute have already calculated it clearly.

If we can really supplement with this technology, opening the gate back to the Sect will undoubtedly be within our reach," Xie Lang explained, "As long as we can open the return gate to the Sect, all difficulties will be easily solved."

"But what if…" Xie Yi'er hesitated for a moment, "What if what the Moon Demon Empire said was true…"

Xie Lang fell silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "For this esteemed Alkaid, we have shown enough sincerity… haven't we?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi'er suddenly realized.

Choosing sides…

In that moment, it had already been completed.
