Everyone was very happy. To be honest, although they all seemed very enthusiastic about negotiating with the sect, they were actually quite uncertain. After all, they had only just joined the sect, and if the sect really turned against them, they really wouldn't know what to do.

However, if they join the old members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, the situation is completely different. In their eyes, all the disciples are old members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so the sect will definitely not deal with them easily. If they join forces with those old members, their chances of success will be much greater.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wan Hai continued, "In order for them to act with us more effectively, we must form an alliance. Therefore, we should include them when we sign the contract. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections. What objections could they have? This was a good thing. As long as the contract was signed, the people in the sect could not betray them, and they would have to act together. This way, everyone would have nothing to worry about, so it was indeed a good thing.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wan Hai continued, "If everyone agrees, then we can sign the contract. By the way, have you all contacted those smaller families these past few days? Is there anyone among them willing to join us?"

Upon hearing his words, one of the family heads immediately spoke up: "I have contacted several smaller families. Some of them are willing to act with us, while others are not. Currently, among the smaller families I have contacted, there are four that are willing to act with us."

Several more family heads also announced the number of families willing to act with them, and unexpectedly, more than a hundred small families joined them.

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, "If so many people gather here, it will definitely attract the attention of the sect. I think we should find a mountain and have everyone gather there to sign the contract. After the contract is signed, we can discuss how to negotiate with the sect."

Everyone responded, and Wan Hai continued, "You all go and contact the other families, and I'll contact the Lü family. As for the location of our gathering, let's choose Green Bamboo Ridge."

Everyone nodded without objection. Wan Hai then said, "Does everyone know about Green Bamboo Ridge? If so, let's notify them. We'll meet at Green Bamboo Ridge in an hour. This contract must be signed as soon as possible, and then we'll move on to the next step: finding time to talk to the sect. This also needs to be done quickly, since Elder Wen already knows about it. If we can't act quickly, I'm worried the sect might take some action."

Everyone responded once again, and Wan Hai continued, "Alright, now everyone contact the others. I will send you the coordinates of Green Bamboo Ridge. You should then forward them to the others and tell them that we will sign the contract in one hour. If anyone refuses to sign the contract, we will not take them with us on this mission."

Everyone responded, and Wan Hai then said, "Okay, let's move out." After saying that, he contacted Liu E directly, told him about the contract to be signed, and sent him the coordinates of Green Bamboo Ridge.

Green Bamboo Ridge is just a small mountain, named for the green bamboo that grows on it. However, since the bamboo is just ordinary bamboo and has no use, no one bothers to disturb it. There are too many small mountains like this in the Blood Slaughter Sect's territory, so no one cares. It's even normal for countless places to have the same name.

After Wan Hai and his group made the arrangements, they went to Green Bamboo Ridge and casually cleared out a space on the mountain.

Meanwhile, more people arrived one after another, and soon Liu E also arrived with more than 300 people. They came together, and everyone appeared at Green Bamboo Ridge.

Wan Hai immediately went to greet them, and Liu E also came up with his men. From a distance, Wan Hai bowed to Liu E and said, "Elder Liu, welcome everyone."

Liu E bowed to Wan Hai, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the others, who all returned the salute. Liu E then spoke, "We are now allies. From this moment on, we will act together, so there's no need for such formalities." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried that Liu E would look down on them, after all, he was a veteran of the sect, while they had only recently joined. Now, hearing Liu E's words, they felt reassured.

Wan Hai laughed heartily and said, "Alright, Elder Liu is so straightforward, then I won't stand on ceremony either. Everyone, we've gathered here today for only one purpose: to unite and make our demands to the sect. With more people, we'll have more power. Only by uniting will the sect take our voice seriously. To ensure that we can all completely trust each other, we need to sign a contract. This contract must be signed in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book and witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. Only then can we feel at ease."

Everyone nodded. They already knew what they were there to do, so of course no one had any objections. Wan Hai then said, "If no one has any objections, let's sign the contract first. After the contract is signed, we can discuss the next steps."

Everyone responded once again, and then Wan Hai moved his hand and took out the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. The Heavenly Dao Golden Book didn't look very big, no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to hold so many people's names. But don't forget, the Heavenly Dao Golden Book is a magic artifact, so this small Heavenly Dao Golden Book can actually hold a lot of content.

With a thought, Wan Hai sent the Heavenly Dao Golden Book flying up. At the same time, a line of text appeared on the book, which contained the contents of the contract and the names of the people. Wan Hai then said, "This is the contents of the contract. We have already signed it. If everyone has no objections, then please sign it as well."

Everyone carefully examined the contents of the contract and found no problems. It was just an alliance agreement, stipulating that no one could betray it. It was very simple, and it also included names, including Wan Hai's and the others' names, so they felt relieved.

Then, with a flick of his hand, the golden book flew back to his hand. He took the golden book and went to Liu E and the others. Liu E didn't say anything, but simply pricked his finger and wrote his name on the golden book. Strangely, after the name was written on the golden book, it disappeared.

However, Liu E didn't mind. This was how it was done when writing names on the golden book. Then everyone wrote their names on the golden book until the last person did. After that, Wan Hai once again summoned the golden book, and it flew up. The names of everyone appeared on it, including Liu E's.

Everyone was relieved. Wan Hai put away the golden book and glanced at everyone, saying, "Alright, everyone has written their names on the golden book. Now we can move on to the next step, which is to negotiate with the sect. The reason I'm in such a hurry is because Elder Wen already knows about this matter, and he even gave me a warning, wanting to transfer the Wan family members to another place. I didn't agree, so we must act as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that the sect might take other actions."

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded solemnly. Liu E then said, "We should first unify our demands, list them out, and then discuss them with the sect. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Liu E continued, "Actually, our demands are quite simple, nothing more than two things: First, ensure the integrity of our respective families. Our family disciples should not be scattered again, nor should they be transferred to other branches of the sect. Ensuring the integrity of our respective families is extremely important, because if disciples of any family or sect are transferred to other branches, then those disciples will probably no longer listen to us, and their hearts will be scattered. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, and Yingdi said, "Yes, we must ensure the integrity of our families and sects. Otherwise, once those disciples leave their families or sects, their morale will collapse, and we will be unable to manage them at all. Therefore, ensuring the integrity of families and sects is extremely important."

Everyone else echoed this sentiment, and Wan Hai said, "Alright, then the first point is to ensure the integrity of each family and sect. Elder Liu, let's talk about the second point."

Liu E nodded and then said, "The second point is that we must give our families and sects some preferential treatment. Our families and sects are stronger, and we should be treated with preferential treatment. However, the sects have always treated us like ordinary disciples, which is obviously not acceptable. So this must be changed."

Everyone responded. Liu E looked at them and said, "However, there are some points to consider regarding this preferential treatment. We need to discuss what kind of preferential treatment and to what extent, since everyone has different ideas. But I have a suggestion to share first, to see if everyone can accept it: we shouldn't ask for too much preferential treatment. If we ask for too much, the sect will absolutely not agree. I think we should just go to Elder Wen about this matter and not alarm the sect leader. Therefore, we request..." "If the preferential treatment is too high, it might alarm the Sect Master. Once the Sect Master is alarmed, things will get really bad. We'll all be in trouble. The Sect Master won't let us off the hook. So we must think carefully about the conditions of this preferential treatment. We need to make sure Elder Wen can agree to them. If it's too outrageous, and Elder Wen feels he can't make the decision and reports this to the Sect Master, then our plan will fall through, and the Sect Master won't let us off the hook. What do you all think?" After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, wanting to see what their opinions were. (End of this chapter)
