Yang Family Ancestor

"Although Qin Ming is a threat, he is not an urgent concern for those Powers. If we do not offer something, they would certainly be happy to see the Pill Alliance and Qin Ming fight to the death. If we kill Qin Ming, they will reap the rewards."

"If we are defeated, it will not be too late for them to join forces then. Therefore, even if Qin Ming is a threat, this threat has not yet reached an imminent level," the Red-Browed Elder analyzed.

"Correct. I understand the personalities of these people; they are all the type who won't cast the eagle until they see the hare. If we do not offer them compensation, it is unlikely they will help us," the White-Bearded Elder said after some thought.

If other Powers were to come knocking, he would certainly demand some benefits, even if the task itself was already beneficial to him.

"By this calculation, only the few major Families in Yan City are truly suitable. The others are either too scattered to easily unite, or have past grievances with us," the White-Bearded Elder nodded and said.

"There is no time to delay; let us set off for the Alliance now!" The Red-Browed Elder sheathed his sword, looked at the White-Bearded Elder, and said.

"Very well." The White-Bearded Elder also knew that the faster they acted, the less likely Qin Ming would be to discover their plans.

Currently, Qin Ming's attention is entirely focused on the Branches of the Pill Alliance. While the Pill Alliance can still hold out for a while, they needed to unite quickly.

Once Qin Ming is killed, all those losses could be recouped tenfold.

Outside Yan City, within the Yang Family Secret Realm, stood a tall tower. The higher the level of the tower, the higher the status of the person residing there.

Yang Quan arrived at the top floor of the tower.

"Old Ancestor, it is I, Yang Quan. I have an important matter to report."

"Enter," an aged voice came from within the tower.

Having received permission, Yang Quan pushed the door open and entered.

An elderly man with a face full of wrinkles sat cross-legged on a cushion. Upon seeing Yang Quan enter, the old man raised his head, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yang Quan, what brings you to see this Old Ancestor? The Medicinal Pill you brought last time had excellent effects."

A smile appeared on Yang Quan's face as well. He walked to the space opposite the old man, sat down cross-legged, and said,

"Old Ancestor, the reason I have come this time is that I have found Great Master Qing, who provided me with the Medicinal Pill."

"Oh?" The joy on the old man's face deepened. He asked, "You found him? That is good. I, Yang Sheng, have never owed anyone a favor in my life, and I cannot owe one this time either. It is good that you found him; now I have the chance to repay this favor."

"What is his name, and what is his background?" the old man asked, looking at Yang Quan.

Yang Quan smiled faintly and said, "The reason it took so long for me to come is that I had to investigate his background."

When he met Qin Ming last time, time had been tight, and he had not been able to ask for specific information about Qin Ming. Therefore, although he was quite familiar with Qin Ming, he was only familiar with his disguised identity.

He had only discovered his true identity after conducting an investigation.

The reason he felt the need to investigate was that he wanted to form an Alliance with Qin Ming. Since it was an Alliance, he naturally needed to ascertain his background clearly, which would also make it easier for him to persuade the Old Ancestor.

However, the results of the investigation were not very optimistic, which was why he felt somewhat conflicted.

"Old Ancestor, that person was originally the heir to a small Family in Liu City, and is now the leader of the Huayu Sect," Yang Quan thought for a moment before giving this introduction.

These were truly all the details regarding Qin Ming's identity: he was the heir of a small Family and the leader of the Huayu Sect.
