Because Xu Dachun was in a state of breathlessness, he was placed in a magic circle by Feng Wei. He was not worried that what they said would be heard by Xu Dachun. Feng Wei did not avoid Huang Li who was standing beside him, so she said her thoughts exactly. . Hao Yun felt that Feng Wei was a little crazy. How could Hao Duanduan seek out an alliance with him, and talk about a personal alliance? You must know that Hao Yun is a member of the Fang family after all, and everything he does must be in the interests of the Fang family. , To put it bluntly, Hao Yun's personal freedom is also limited. Hao Yun thought to himself, who knows if Feng Wei will stand on the opposite side of the Fang family. If I form a personal alliance with her, wouldn't that be digging a hole for myself?
Huang Li also felt that Feng Wei's sudden proposal for a personal alliance was a bit rash. As the representative of the Feng family in the Presbyterian Council and the head of the inspection headquarters, Feng Wei is considered the second most powerful figure in the Presbyterian Council. For such a big shot to condescend to form an alliance with Hao Yun, a member of the Fang family with a foreign surname, others would really laugh at him if he told it. Although Hao Yun's potential has undoubtedly been revealed now, and as a person around her, Huang Li clearly understands Hao Yun's strength and abilities, but the high-ranking elders of the Presbyterian Council should not be able to see it so clearly.
Feng Wei smiled when she saw Hao Yun's surprised expression. She covered her mouth and said, "Yes, I am just forming an alliance with you personally and has nothing to do with the Fang family."
Hao Yun quickly calmed down, shook his head and replied: "Impossible, I am also a member of the Fang family. If I personally form an alliance with you, and if you deal with the Fang family in the future, can I still just sit back and watch? ?”
Feng Wei snorted and sneered: "You guys really underestimated me. Do I love taking advantage of others? Do you know what personal alliance is?"
Hao Yun was puzzled, could there be any explanation for personal alliance? He didn't understand, so he looked at Huang Li aside. Huang Li also shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't understand what Feng Wei meant.
Feng Wei saw Hao Yun and Huang Li looking confused, shook her head, sighed, and said: "Actually, at your current age, you should not be exposed to personal alliances, but your The strength is enough. It seems that no one has talked to you about personal alliance, so I will tell you about it."
The so-called personal alliance is actually a relatively common form of agreement among practitioners in the middle and late stages of Mahayana in the spiritual world. The content of the alliance has long been standardized, and there is basically no possibility that one of the parties in the agreement will take advantage. In fact, if we break it down carefully, the weaker side of the alliance may still have the possibility of taking advantage, but the dominant side is basically impossible. Since it is a personal alliance, the covenant is binding on both parties. There is no situation where only one party is bound and the other party is not restricted. Therefore, personal alliance is a relatively fair existence and is favored by many middle and late Mahayana practitioners. Welcome to cultivators.
Both Hao Yun and Huang Li heard about this thing for the first time. Although Feng Wei highly praised personal alliances, they were still very cautious about this new thing. After seeing the unmoved expressions of the two people, Feng Wei sighed again and said: "Actually, the personal alliance covenant was created by the Spirit Emperor. The reason is that personal alliance has a great influence on the stability of the spiritual world. benefit."
"Ah! Is that so?" Hao Yun was shocked.
"Of course, you will know as soon as you check it. There is no need for me to lie to you." Feng Wei replied.
"Then why is it so beneficial?" Huang Li asked.
"First of all, personal alliances are simpler and easier to implement than force alliances, and the likelihood of signing is much higher. Don't let me explain this!" Feng Wei began to answer their questions.
After Feng Wei's explanation, Hao Yun and Huang Li discovered that the personal alliance created by Lord Ling Emperor was indeed a good thing. It turns out that the main constraint of personal alliance is that the two parties cannot attack each other. This means that after personal alliance, you no longer have to worry about the alliance partner becoming your enemy. I dare not say that you can leave your back to him, but at least it will not Always be on guard against him. If a person signs a personal alliance covenant with a large number of people, then the person's potential enemies will be greatly reduced, and naturally there will be fewer disputes. Even if there is a conflict between the forces, if there are a large number of personal alliances between the high-level cultivators of the two forces, then even if there is a big fight, it will be difficult for the two forces to really hurt their muscles and bones. The reason is that the existence of personal alliances makes it difficult for high-level cultivators to fight, so no matter how hard the cultivators below fight, they can easily be controlled within a certain range to prevent the situation from getting bigger and bigger.
Hao Yun realized that this was an operation that used personal restraint to stabilize society. It was indeed a great trick. Feng Wei took out the template for personal alliance. Hao Yun and Huang Li took it and took a look at it. They found that there were three levels of personal alliance, namely gold, silver and iron. At the highest gold level, the scope of the covenant's restrictions is very large. Not only can the two parties not take action against each other, but also their families, forces, and partners cannot take action. It can be said that once the contract is signed, the two people are almost tied together. The lowest level of the Iron Covenant is very simple. It only has the clause that both parties to the alliance cannot take action against each other, which is much less restrictive.
Feng Wei pointed to the lowest-level covenant and said: "We usually only sign this iron covenant, which has only one restriction. Moreover, now that you sign it, you are actually the one taking advantage."
Huang Li took the text of the covenant and read it for a long time, then suddenly pointed at Xu Dachun in the magic circle and asked: "The patriarchs of the seven families should have signed many personal alliance covenants, right?"
"Of course, when your strength reaches a certain stage, someone will naturally come to you to sign a personal alliance, and you will also take the initiative to find someone to sign it. After all, signing this will be good for you and your family. Let's put it this way, if someone refuses to sign with you, it means that this person has deep hostility towards you, so you already know who the enemy is." Feng Wei explained.
"What will happen to the Xu family if Xu Dachun dies or is too seriously injured and cannot recover his strength?" Huang Li asked a question that Hao Yun had never thought of.
Feng Wei showed a meaningful expression on her face. After thinking about it carefully, she said: "I really don't know. Anything can happen. It depends on whether the Xu family has hidden strength. Maybe someone can stand up. .”
Hao Yun thought of the Fang family's situation and quickly understood what Feng Wei meant? Xu Dachun must have signed a personal alliance with the most powerful person, so that he would not worry about those with similar strength taking action against him. Of course, it is also impossible for others to attack him. Therefore, as long as nothing happens to him, The Xu family is very stable. Of course, the allies could not target Xu Dachun, but they could target the Xu family. However, Xu Dachun also had no such restrictions, so the major forces could only exercise restraint for their own stability. This is the benefit of personal alliances, but there are good things and bad things. Once the balance is broken, there will often be a rapid decline in power. Thinking of this, Hao Yun suddenly understood why the Ling Emperor asked Su Yujin to come to Lingdu Continent, because she understood that once she went to the fairy world, the balance would be broken.
"Why do we have to do these things? Can't everyone coexist peacefully?" Hao Yun shouted angrily.
"There is no reason. In fact, we don't want to see it. Unfortunately, we have no control over how things develop, and those who want to take action will not tell us in advance." Feng Wei said coldly .
"Is the Presbyterian Church just watching helplessly? Are there no rules?" Hao Yun was still extremely angry.
"Okay, stop talking, it's useless." Huang Li stopped Hao Yun. In fact, just like Feng Wei said, the Presbyterian Council could only watch. Cultivators often use tricks to kill people, and the Xu family has not been kind to them over the years. Who knows how many people they have enmity with. To put it bluntly, the hatred you have planted can only be tasted by yourself. Others There is no ability to help the Xu family.
Hao Yun reluctantly shouted: "This may be Tianqi's plan to attack the head of the Xu family. If other forces really go to besiege the Xu family, wouldn't this just fall into their plan?"
"This is fate. The situation is forcing us to blame others. The key is that someone from the Xu family has to stand up." Feng Wei was very calm. In fact, they, the senior officials, have long been accustomed to the ups and downs of the family's power. Besides, the spiritual power is about to expire. In today's depleted world, it is a phenomenon that everyone is happy to see more cultivators die, as long as the people who die are not their own.
Finally, Feng Wei said to Hao Yun: "Besides, the head of the Xu family may recover. There is no need to worry unfounded. You should think about it. Are you willing to accept the alliance proposal?"
Hao Yun thought for a while and asked, "Has anyone else in the Fang family signed a personal alliance agreement with you?"
"Haha, I can't reach the level of Lord Ling Emperor. Fang Yikong did sign it, but since everyone has been promoted to immortal, the covenant has become invalid. The rest of the Fang family does not have this qualification. Originally, I was quite optimistic about Fang Tianshi, but it's a pity. , it has been almost more than a year, and everyone has disappeared, and I don’t know what his condition is now." Feng Wei replied with a smile, but from her tone, she still felt sorry for Fang Tianshi.
Hao Yun was also worried. Ever since his master was about to go through the heavenly tribulation, not only had there been no news from his master, but even Fang Tianshi and Hu Juling had disappeared without a trace. It was not known whether they had succeeded, but fortunately, they None of their life cards were damaged, which meant that they were all safe and sound now. The Fang family is racing against time. If one person can break through the Mahayana stage before Lord Ling Emperor ascends to the immortal world, then the Fang family will be in danger. Otherwise, just like the Xu family now, the sword will always be hanging over their heads. superior.
Hao Yun smiled bitterly and said: "My strength has not broken through to the Mahayana stage. Why does Minister Feng want to form an alliance with me personally?"
"I don't just want to sign with you, I also want to sign with Huang Li. The two of you should have practiced some kind of dual cultivation technique. Originally, the strength of the two of you was not top-notch, but after you two merged, your strength has improved. Earth-shaking changes have indeed taken place. Now that your strength has reached this point, I have no reason to let go of this opportunity. I actively asked to tell you that I do not want to be your enemy." Feng Wei's reasons are very good. , those who show good intentions first will always get good results.
