"But think about it, this is his retribution. He was so ambitious that he even wanted to misappropriate the Divine Spiritual Source at first..." Jill stated coldly.
"Matriarch Jill, this is not the right time to be sarcastic. Since Prince Crimson dared to kill the Heavenly Demon Clan's patriarch, he will definitely not let us go," the Giants Clan's patriarch said with a serious look on his face.
"That's right. It surely won't be easy to deal with Prince Crimson. Now that he has obtained the Divine Spiritual Source, he will use it to deal with the clans of the spiritual race," the Ghost Master Clan's patriarch added.
When Jill heard what they said, her face immediately turned cold.
"Can everyone please calm down? Although Prince Crimson has indeed obtained the Divine Spiritual Source, he had already activated its power. So, it's impossible for him to use the power again at least for now. For the time being, there is no need to worry that he will act rashly against the spiritual race. However, we have finally realized that Prince Crimson has been planning this for a long time. He pretended to be close to the spiritual race and even allied with the Phoenix Master Clan and Wood Clan. Everything that he did was for his despicable goal. He is a cunning man indeed. But Matriarch Jill, you don't have to take it personally. All of us may know someone for an exceptionally long time but that doesn't mean that we truly know their true nature and intentions. He took advantage of your weakness to succeed in achieving his hidden purpose," Alston said in a calm and reassuring tone.
"It's useless to say so now. The most important thing that we have to do is to take back the Divine Spiritual Source..." the Ghost Master Clan's patriarch said angrily. He was frustrated at the current situation of the whole spiritual race.
"In my opinion, it won't be difficult to take back the Divine Spiritual Source. Although Prince Crimson is indeed a despicable man, he is a dutiful son. So, if we attack the Holy Dragon Empire, Prince Crimson will never just sit by and do nothing!" Alston suggested to them at once.
"So, what you're suggesting is that all the clans must unite and directly deal with the Holy Dragon Empire? I'm afraid that's inappropriate. Isn't it too much for you to take advantage of our power and bully those who are weaker than us?" Jill immediately raised her objection.
"At this point, there is nothing appropriate anymore. Even if the whole Holy Dragon Empire is turned upside down, we must force Prince Crimson out..." the Ghost Master Clan's patriarch said with rage and hatred.
"If you believe in me, then I will take full responsibility for this matter. I will take back the Divine Spiritual Source for the spiritual race. However, I hope that you can give me enough support. Now that the Heavenly Demon Clan's patriarch is dead, the clan and the spiritual force under its control will also be in a state of disunity. If you can help me this time, I promise that I will let the clan serve your clans in the future and we won't do anything to ever offend any of you," Alston boldly promised as he sincerely looked into the eyes of the other four clan leaders.
The four leaders immediately looked at each other. In the battle with Rocky earlier, they failed to deal with the Demonic Thunder Tiger which caused huge casualties and injuries. In addition to the Heavenly Demon Clan, the four high-level clans of the spiritual race had also suffered a great loss. These losses would have an impact on them one way or another. If the unsupervised Heavenly Demon Clan took the opportunity to cause trouble again, it would just be a greater hassle. Since Alston was willing to solve the problem for them, they were totally happy to hear that!
"Just do what you think is right. We four clans will give you proper support. However, if we find out that you have any hidden intentions, don't blame us for being completely rude and merciless to you. Although the Heavenly Demon Clan is powerful now, you will be in big trouble if we four clans join hands. Do you understand this?" the Ghost Master Clan's patriarch warned as he agreed to Alston's suggestion.
"I completely understand. Then, I am going to leave now to deal with it." Alston cupped his hands and immediately left.
