Chapter 3759 A Multifactional Alliance
“Bluesky Sect’s strength would surely be bolstered tremendously if we could convince someone like
him to join us.” “Agreed, but I’m afraid that line of thinking isn’t very realistic.”
“I’m more interested in those secrets that Levi possesses. It’s been said that the swords he forged are
held in high regard by the Void Sect itself.” “That’s right. Even their fifth and sixth Empyrean is in awe of
his forging technique.”
The other elders of Bluesky Sect engaged each other in a lively discussion before Zerach raised a
hand to call for silence. “Levi and the others must be dabbling with some form of advanced technique
to be able to elevate their prowess within such a short time the way they did. Bluesky Sect would be
able to be exponentially stronger should we be able to gain knowledge of it.
Coupled with that supreme forging technique, who is to say that we won’t be able to attain greater
heights than ever before? Hence, I think it might be best for us to capture Levi’s family members and
use the lives of his wife and daughter to threaten him into surrendering his skills and forging technique.
What do all of you think?”
Zerach’s words received widespread support, but there was a minority who expressed the need to
exercise caution so as to avoid inviting cmity onto themselves. “Your proposal is a fine one, Father,
but I fear that Bluesky Sect might not be strong enough to pull this off!”
Hansel’s words spoke to his contemporaries’ gravest concern. That drew augh from Zerach. “For us
to attempt this alone would surely prove challenging, but what if we were to seek coboration with a
few other sects?”
The masses were suddenly enlightened, as it was only human nature to seek out that which was
advantageous over that which was not. By making the value of what Levi possessed public knowledge,
how could the other factions possibly not be tempted?
“We should seek to enter an alliance with other sects that areparable to ourselves in strength.
That way, we may be able to avoid being double-crossed,” Jasper added.

Zerach broke into a boisterous guffaw. “Great minds do think alike!”
“It would seem like you already have some prospective partners in mind, Father, but I wonder if the
Void Sect would be inclined to take any follow-up action? After all, Santino was hurt!” said Hansel
grimly.
“Master Hansel’s concerns are not without merit. Santino is the beloved student of their vice sect leader
Geraint Earkenhait. Do you think he mighte forward to redress their aggrievement? If the Void
Sect were to get involved in this, we might not have any chance to get at those treasures ourselves.
That would be truly troubling indeed!”
Zerach waved his hand and said, “Rest assured, everyone, that I know Geraint well. He is haughty as
heck and has no respect for anyone. Aside from the leader of the Void Sect, he sees everyone else as
mere spittle beneath his feet. Such an arrogant man would surely not venture to raise the entire might
of the sect against any individual from the mundane world, as he would find that demeaning of
someone of his own stature.”
The masses variously nodded to express their approval.
Seeing that the others had been relieved of their doubts, Zerach continued in a deep voice, “Hansel, I
want you to go out and extend invitations to these four major sects personally. Tell them that I have a
matter that I wish to discuss.”
The others reacted in astonishment. It seems that Zerach has already had everything nned out to
the point that he even had the invitation cards prepared ahead of time.
Hansel epted the task readily, as he had been itching to get even for quite a while now. He had
even fantasized about how he would eventually torment Levi in order to soothe his own rage.
In the dark of night, Bluesky Sect hosted a magnificent banquet for the heads of the four major sects
who had convened at the invitation Hansel sent out to them.
Represented there was the Order of the Sacred Saber, Aether Sword n, Order of the Witching Star,
and Ironfist n. Overall, the strength of the gathered sects was more or less on par with that of the
Bluesky Sect.
“All of you honor me with your presence here. May I propose a toast to a fruitful coboration ahead,”
said Zerach with a heartyugh.
“You are too kind, Mr. Xanadu.”
“Yes. It is you who honor us by considering us for involvement in such a wonderful undertaking!”
“Please, tell us how we shall proceed, and we shall do our utmost for it!”
The leaders of the four major sects tossed back and emptied their sses.
Without withholding anything, Zerach unreservedly brought everything pertaining to Levi to the fore,
making sure to exin the risks and rewards involved in great detail.q
