"Sect Master Yingdi, Wan Hai greets you." Wan Hai's projection bowed to Yingdi.

Yingdi returned the greeting to Wan Hai, saying, "Patriarch Wan, you're too kind. I wonder if there's anything you need for me to call?" Yingdi had no connection with Wan Hai, and he knew that Wan Hai and his group wanted to form an alliance. He didn't want to get involved or have anything to do with Wan Hai. In his opinion, Wan Hai and his group were courting death by doing this, so he didn't want to have anything to do with Wan Hai.

Wan Hai looked at Ying Di and then said, "Sect Master Ying Di, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore. Your Heavenly Eagle Sect hasn't disbanded yet, is it because you don't want to? If you don't want to disband, then why not form an alliance with us? Currently, our alliance has more than ninety families participating. Our alliance isn't about rebellion or anything like that. We just want some preferential treatment. As you know, we all joined the Blood Slaughter Sect later. Under these circumstances, it's extremely difficult for us to achieve the same status as the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. So, it's not a big deal for us to unite and ask for some preferential treatment. After all, we joined the sect voluntarily, and the sect should give us some preferential treatment. Besides, we are the Undead Clan, and we won't rebel. As long as we get some preferential treatment, the sect won't do anything to us. What do you say?"

Upon hearing Wan Hai's words, Ying Di's heart stirred. Although he didn't want to get involved in Wan Hai's affairs, what Wan Hai said seemed to make some sense. They had voluntarily joined the sect and were now members of the undead race, so the sect shouldn't be angry if they asked for some preferential treatment. Most importantly, their demands weren't unreasonable, and the sect might actually agree. Moreover, so many families were involved in this matter. Ying Di knew that the families Wan Hai mentioned couldn't be small families; they must be large families. So many large families united would be a considerable force. Even if the sect wanted to deal with them, they would have to think it over carefully. So, it seemed that their alliance with these families might actually be successful.

Now that the elders of the Flying Eagle Sect neither agree to disband the sect nor agree to his resignation, he has no choice but to continue as the sect leader. It seems that uniting with those families is the best option for them.

Wan Hai could tell from Ying Di's expression that Ying Di was interested. He continued, "As for whether the people in our alliance are sincere, you don't need to worry about that at all. Coincidentally, I have a copy of the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. We have already written a contract on this Heavenly Dao Golden Book. If you are willing to join our alliance, you can also write a contract on this Heavenly Dao Golden Book."

Yingdi was even more tempted. Of course he knew what the Heavenly Dao Golden Book was, and a vow made with the Heavenly Dao Golden Book was certainly credible. However, Yingdi was also very clear that he could not agree immediately and had to discuss it properly with the people in the sect.

Thinking of this, Yingdi looked at Wan Hai and said, "Patriarch Wan, this matter is too big. I must discuss it thoroughly with the people in the sect before I can give you an answer."

Wan Hai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." Then he hung up the phone.

After Wan Hai hung up the phone, Ying Di immediately ordered, "Someone, go and invite the elders and hall masters of the sect." A servant immediately responded and turned to leave.

Yingdi was unable to resign from his position as sect leader because of his family. His family was not a major family in the Sky Eagle Sect; on the contrary, it was a small family. Therefore, his position as sect leader was relatively weak within the Sky Eagle Sect. The heads of the major families in the Sky Eagle Sect did not agree to his resignation, so he really could not resign because he was worried that they would suppress his family. If they did suppress his family, it would be a real problem. So, for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to remain as sect leader.

Before long, all the elders and hall masters of the Sky Eagle Sect arrived. These people were also the heads of some of the major families in the Sky Eagle Sect, and the forces behind them were also very powerful. Therefore, they did not take Yingdi too seriously.

When these people arrived at Yingdi's study, they bowed to him, but the bowing was very perfunctory. Yingdi did not blame them, but instead very politely invited them to sit down.

After they were all seated, Yingdi spoke directly: "I invited you all here today to discuss something, which is about forming an alliance with those families. You all know the situation with the family alliance. They haven't disbanded; in fact, they're more united now. They're planning to form an alliance and negotiate with the sects. Wan Hai called me this time, wanting to invite us to join this alliance as well. What are your thoughts on this?"

Upon hearing Yingdi's words, the elders and hall masters were all taken aback, but then their eyes lit up. One of the elders asked, "I wonder how many people are left in the family alliance?"

Yingdi said, "Patriarch Wan Hai said that they have more than ninety families in this alliance, and they have signed a contract with the Heavenly Dao Golden Book, so no one will betray them."

The elders' eyes lit up even more. One of them said, "That is indeed a solution, but there are also problems. What if they go too far? The sect might deal with them directly."

Yingdi said, "Patriarch Wan said that they just want to talk to the sect about the terms and ask the sect to give us some benefits. After all, we are newcomers and surrendered voluntarily. If the sect gives us some preferential treatment, no one can say anything about it."

Upon hearing this, the elders' eyes lit up even more. One elder said, "Good, excellent! If that's really the case, then we can join their alliance." The other elders all nodded in agreement. Then, they all turned to look at Yingdi. Yingdi, seeing their expressions, continued, "Although Wan Hai said they wouldn't go too far, this matter is still risky. If things go wrong, it could leave a bad impression on the sect, which would greatly affect the future development of our disciples."

“There are risks in everything we do. If we really benefit from it, then it’s worth taking a little risk. Besides, as long as we are strong enough, the sect will have to use us, so there’s no need to worry about the sect turning against us.” An elder said, and the others all nodded in agreement.

Looking at their expressions, Yingdi continued, "If you all agree, then it's settled. I'll reply to Wan Hai in a bit and finalize this matter. However, I still have to reserve my opinion. I still believe that disbanding the sect is the best option."

An elder snorted and said, "If we really disband the sect, what will we have left? Rather than that, we might as well take a gamble." The others all nodded in agreement. That was what they thought, which was why they didn't want to disband the sect. However, they also knew that their families alone could not stand against the sect. But if they really joined forces with the family alliance, things would seem much easier.

Seeing their expressions, Yingdi stopped trying to persuade them. He had already done all he could, so there was nothing more to say. Yingdi said, "Once you've made your decision, I'll write to Wan Hai now and tell them that we want to join them and that we must have our names recorded in the Heavenly Book. Only then will they consider us one of their own."

The elders and hall masters all nodded. Then Yingdi called Wan Hai directly, but to their surprise, Wan Hai didn't answer the phone for a long time, which made their expressions turn ugly.

Yingdi could only hang up the phone first, and then called back, but still no one answered. Just as Yingdi was about to call for the third time, a call suddenly came in. Yingdi looked at the caller ID and it was Wan Hai.

Yingdi immediately answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, Wan Hai's projection appeared in Yingdi's study. Wan Hai's projection bowed to Yingdi and said, "Sect Leader Ying, have you reached a conclusion?"

Yingdi looked at Wan Hai and said, "After our discussion, we agree to join your alliance, but there is one thing we must make clear: we must leave our names in the Heavenly Book."

Wan Hai laughed heartily and said, "Of course. Even if you didn't say it, I would still make sure you leave your names in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. Otherwise, we wouldn't feel at ease. The reason I didn't answer your call just now was because I was talking to people from other sects. That's why I couldn't answer your call. But I believe that more and more people will be willing to join us."

Upon hearing Wan Hai's words, Ying Di breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "When can we have our names recorded in the Golden Book?"

Wan Hai immediately said, "We are currently contacting other sects. Once they respond, we will proceed with the registration. If other sects also agree to join us, we will register together. If they do not wish to join us, then we will definitely register them."

Upon hearing this, Yingdi finally breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Wan Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will get back to you as soon as possible, so please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Yingdi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news, hopefully soon." Wan Hai nodded, then bowed to Yingdi before hanging up the phone.

After watching Wan Hai's projection disappear, Ying Di turned to look at the elders and hall masters of the Sky Eagle Sect. Their expressions had relaxed considerably, clearly indicating that they found Wan Hai's words quite agreeable.

Yingdi looked at the elders and hall masters, then said, "Now we just need to wait for news. But I believe they will have news soon. We just need to wait. After all, they would never be willing to let go of such a large force as us. If there is no news for a long time, they will worry that we will side with the sect. So they must give us news as soon as possible." (End of this chapter)
