Chapter 1194 - 1194: The Four Symbols Sect's Secret

Since we've already laid everything bare, Liu Zixuan didn't bother to hide and directly explained the relationship between their four clans.

Wu Zheng heard this and smiled enigmatically, "It seems you've done quite a bit of homework."

"To be honest, if the current situation weren't so severe, I wouldn't really be interested in the grievances between your four clans."

Liu Zixuan shifted the conversation: "So Elder Wu, do you think my proposal is feasible?"

Wu Zheng fiddled with the jade thumb ring on his finger and then smiled, "You mean getting me to persuade the Cyan Dragon Clan, with the condition of helping them secure the top spot among the Four Great Clans, to agree not to sell the key to that powerful faction?"

"I think it's worth a try," Liu Zixuan smiled.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "The chances are slim. If it were about other matters, the Cyan Dragon Clan might agree without hesitation, but this issue is tricky. After all, that powerful faction can ensure that the Four Symbols Sect won't be wiped out in this turmoil."

"Can they really do what they claim?" Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully, "Firstly, you're facing the entire Martial Realm this time. Unless your Four Symbols Sect relocates completely out of the Star Sea, secondly, the Yudu Treasure is a supreme treasure of the Martial Realm. If it's taken by someone else, it will inevitably increase their power significantly, and then the martial artists of the Star Sea will have no voice and will still be destroyed."

"Lastly, and most importantly!"

Liu Zixuan enunciated his words, "Is the Four Symbols Sect intending to bear the name of betraying the Star Sea?"

"This..."

Wu Zheng was momentarily speechless. What Liu Zixuan said made sense. Leaving aside the first two reasons, the last one alone was enough to be troubling.

Once the key is sold to that powerful faction, it equals selling out the Star Sea Yudu's treasure. The Four Symbols Sect won't face immediate trouble, but at that time, how will the entire martial realm of the Star Sea view the Four Symbols Sect?

Severely speaking, calling them traitors wouldn't be too much!

"So, you're in a dilemma, and the Four Symbols Sect is also in a dilemma. You all understand this in your hearts, but personal interests have clouded your judgment at this moment."

Wu Zheng remained silent for a moment, "Can you persuade the White Tiger Clan? Are you sure they will stand with us?"

"I have my ways," Liu Zixuan said confidently.

"I'll give it a try." Wu Zheng's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, "You're right, no matter how powerful the Four Symbols Sect is, it's still part of the Star Sea. It should not avoid reality for selfish gains. This is a time to unite and face the external threat together!"

Liu Zixuan smiled and nodded, "I think if someone else were talking today, they might have directly driven me away!"

Wu Zheng smiled faintly, "You're actually right. You two came over by speedboat. If you'd landed in front of any of the other three clans' inner gates, you would definitely be driven away."

"The Black Tortoise Clan truly lives up to being the most low-profile clan," Liu Zixuan leaned forward slightly, "Elder Wu, I think the low-profile nature of the Black Tortoise isn't just on the surface."

Wu Zheng glanced at Liu Zixuan, "What else could it be?"

"Based on your study of mysticism and the inherent characteristics of the Black Tortoise, if it really came down to it, I'm afraid it wouldn't lose to those clans," Liu Zixuan finished speaking and lit a cigarette to smoke.

This statement from Liu Zixuan was entirely a probe because he always felt that the more low-profile someone is, the more formidable they often are.

Wu Zheng didn't directly answer him but looked at the distant view, "The Four Symbols Sect is named after the Four Divine Beasts, and the cultivation technique attributes of each clan are nearly identical to the Four Divine Beasts. Cyan Dragon primarily practices cultivation techniques. Their bloodline is special, and every direct lineage disciple is a cultivation genius. That's why they have always been the leader of the four clans."

"White Tiger primarily trains the body. Their physical strength is outstanding among all the clans, and they are known for fighting, each with a hot temper."

"The Vermilion Bird Clan is more special; the purest bloodline is often among the female members of the family. If they grow up, they are unparalleled, as fierce as a phoenix in nirvana!"

"The Black Tortoise Clan primarily focuses on defense, so they are involved in more complex things, such as arrays and mysticism."

Wu Zheng turned his head and said, "Each of the four clans has its strengths, and over the years of mutual blending, they've learned each other's advantages to make up for their shortcomings. Precisely because of this, the Four Symbols Sect became a top existence in the Martial Realm."

Liu Zixuan nodded in realization, "I've learned a lot."

"Actually, given some time, you would have understood these things as well."

Wu Zheng smiled with deep meaning, "As for the Black Tortoise's low-profile nature, firstly, it's because of strict clan rules; secondly, it's related to what we learn. Whether it's cultivation techniques or some auxiliary things, they are extremely complex, so there's no time to contend for dominance."

"The four clans each have their advantages, and they should be able to counterbalance each other," Liu Zixuan spread his hands, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have been fighting for so many years without a conclusion."

Wu Zheng gave him an exasperated look, "You really dig deep into everything, don't you? This could be considered a secret of our Four Symbols Sect."

"Then you don't have to say it!" Liu Zixuan laughed.

"The reason the Cyan Dragon Clan is strong is because their cultivation techniques are unique and progress extremely fast. They are rarely defeated by those in the same realm of cultivation, and the longer they cultivate, the longer their lifespan, resulting in some old monsters still alive, sitting in the clan with no one daring to provoke them."

"I didn't expect that," Liu Zixuan said with curiosity.

"But everything has its balance. They are strong because of their cultivation techniques, but they are not good at other things. The White Tiger only knows to fight head-on and naturally isn't their match. The Vermilion Bird Clan is mostly female and has a small population, so in terms of manpower, they can't compete. But my Black Tortoise Clan can suppress them. Our defensive capabilities are hard for them to break. Even if they did break through, it would give us sufficient time to set up arrays to defeat them."

At this point, Wu Zheng had a trace of pride in his expression, "It's said that weapons an inch longer are an inch stronger, and the more diverse the cultivation techniques, the more advantageous they are."

Liu Zixuan smiled, "I would like to have an opportunity to learn your Black Tortoise Clan's cultivation techniques."

Wu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "I've heard that you're also proficient in the art of arrays?"

"Just a little," Liu Zixuan pursed his lips.

"Well, perhaps we can have a look tomorrow."

"Someone's coming!"

Just then, the woman who had been cooking came over and whispered.

"Who?"

"People from the White Tiger Clan," the woman said.

Wu Zheng squinted his eyes, "Are they coming for you?"

"To invite me!" Liu Zixuan said with a teasing smile.

"Looks like you really do have some tricks. You can go with them first, and I'll go talk with the people from the Cyan Dragon Clan," Wu Zheng smiled.
