After hearing Chen Zhaosheng's words, Chen Zhixing became even more dissatisfied with that Grand Alliance Leader Qin Yi.

Chen Zhixing had always believed that being a person requires having a bottom line, even if this bottom line can be somewhat flexible, it absolutely cannot be absent, otherwise one wouldn't deserve to be called a human.

Qin Yi's actions undoubtedly broke through this bottom line.

Using the reputation of the Holy Land's Celestial Saint Palace to deceive people—can Holy Land Disciples even do such things?

Yes!

"Why are you looking at me like this? Qin Yi is gathering people to ultimately seek greater benefits during the Descent. It's not something our small Ziwei Chen Family can prevent. All we can do is follow behind our Grand Alliance Leader Qin, picking up some scraps; although it won't earn us any great merit, it's safer, isn't it?"

"Isn't this a bit excessive?"

"Excessive? Where? At most, it's just that the Alliance Leader Qin was overly eager to achieve merits, causing heavy losses to various sects and receiving punishment from the Celestial Saint Palace."

"..."

This is really excessive!

Not only do I have to send people to die on your behalf, but when they die, their properties must be handed over to me, and you have to bear the blame!

As for the end when merit is achieved?

Qin Yi is the Alliance Leader, so naturally the merit falls under her.

As for the other members of the alliance, what role did they play in the process?

Suffering and enduring hardships, that's what!

Just like a sentence Chen Zhixing heard in his past life: The essence of war is that nobles send a farmer's son across many miles to kill another farmer's son.

Before this, there was no enmity between the two.

"Be happy with it."

Chen Zhixing still couldn't bring himself to do such heartless things; even hearing about them made him uncomfortable.

Especially since he couldn't refute it.

Because ultimately, he was the one who benefitted.

The experts from the sects in Jiangzhou were taken away by Qin Yi, leaving empty shells that would naturally be annexed by the Ziwei Chen Family. Even though the Ziwei Chen Family didn't need Qin Yi, Qin Yi's actions preserved the Chen Family's reputation.

After all, without the sect's experts, there's no competitiveness.

The end result is nothing more than the experts under the Chen Family taking over, turning it into yet another subsidiary power.

Thus, Qin Yi's maneuver essentially helped the noble families in the Southern Domain clear out the sects large and small that had begun stirring troubles in recent years.

.....

A month later.

Having confirmed the Alliance was the Nanxuan Alliance, Alliance Leader Qin Yi ascended Ziwei Mountain to meet with Patriarch Chen.

On the main peak, Chen Zhixing met this woman who had stirred storms in recent years.

A woman with admirable appearance and temperament, who gave a first impression akin to an orchid, gentle yet mixed with a hint of forthrightness.

If not for knowing Qin Zhenzheng, Chen Zhixing couldn't imagine Qin Zhenzheng being taught by someone like Qin Yi.

Seeing Chen Zhixing looking at her, Qin Yi, after a brief thought, walked toward Chen Zhixing and smiled politely:

"Hello, Senior Chen, I am Qin Yi."

"Hmm." Chen Zhixing responded casually and intended to leave, having nothing to discuss with the Qin surname.

"Senior, please wait, when visiting this time, Master Mo specially instructed Qin Yi…" Before Qin Yi could finish her sentence, Chen Zhixing interrupted, "I haven't been responsible for family affairs for a long time; if you have matters, go find my Fourth Uncle. As for Sister Qingyue, if she's looking for me on something, I'll visit her in a few days."

He truly did not want to interact with Qin Yi, saying just one sentence, and disappeared.

Seeing Chen Zhixing leave like that.

The Peak Realm cultivator accompanying Qin Yi frowned slightly but said nothing.

Chen Zhixing, the flourishing prodigy on Ziwei Mountain, with unparalleled talent over the millennia, currently the most likely to attain Longevity.

With such a great reputation originating from the Ziwei Chen Family, arrogance in daily conduct is of no consequence.

Qin Yi seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Indeed, this True Dragon of the Chen Family does not like our formation of the Nanxuan Alliance. I've heard Zhenzheng say so before, and now seeing it, things are just as expected."

"Regardless of whether Chen Zhixing likes it or not, our formation of Nanxuan is a great trend, already receiving Evil Ancestor's approval and having consulted Master Tihu; no matter what Chen Zhixing thinks, he must support us." The Peak Realm man responded calmly.

"Hmm, hopefully."

The two exchanged a few words and continued up the mountain to meet Chen Tianchen waiting inside the Longevity Hall on the main peak.

The parties discussed, resulting naturally with joy on both sides.

However, when Qin Yi proposed for the Chen Family to send people to join the Nanxuan Alliance, it was rejected by Chen Tianchen.

"To be honest, Alliance Leader Qin, right now our Chen Family truly lacks the strength, our family battle power insufficient; after your sect issued the Territorial Defense Order, guarding Jiangzhou felt taxing for us, thus we are unable to support your great endeavor as Alliance Leader." When he spoke, Chen Tianchen looked sorrowful, as though he wasn't the person who had been furious earlier over losing Qing State and Si State benefits due to Celestial Saint Palace's orders.

"Why say this, Patriarch? I encountered Senior Zhixing during ascent and paid respects."

"Zhixing he... alas." Chen Tianchen shook his head silently.

Clearly, this topic had no room for discussion.

But Qin Yi was not ready to give up.

She knew, the reason the Nanxuan Alliance didn't attract noble families was because of Chen Zhixing from Ziwei Chen Family—just one sentence from him had provided the noble families in the Southern Domain an excuse, leading to the current meager state of the Nanxuan Alliance.
