Lin Yan thoughts immediately spread beyond the courtyard and swept across the sky above the oasis.
There, he saw two figures standing in midair, One was a slender man dressed in luxurious robes. His posture was upright, and his gaze carried an undisguised arrogance, as though few people in the world were worthy of his attention.
Beside him stood a broad-shouldered woman with a mature and voluptuous figure. Her expression was open and forthright, completely lacking the restraint expected of most Gu Immortals.
The moment Lin Yan saw them, he already had a rough guess. These two were most likely Gu Immortals from the nearby Mo Family.
After all, more than a month had passed since his Immortal Ascension. The commotion it had caused was simply too great to remain hidden.
Furthermore, after returning to the Huang Family, Lin Yan had opened the entrance to his Blessed Land several times without any intention of concealing it. The scene was witnessed by passing merchant caravans, and the news soon spread throughout the surrounding region.
Lin Yan's gaze settled on the female Gu Immortal. This woman was most likely the famous Earth Path Gu Immortal of Western Desert—Plump Lady. She possessed two Earth Path Immortal Gu and her battle strength had long since reached the peak of Rank 6.
No wonder her voice had been so bold and uninhibited.
Lin Yan did not dwell on the matter. Rising into the sky, he waved his sleeve and closed the entrance to the Blessed Land at the center of the oasis before turning toward the two Gu Immortals.
His gaze swept across the two of them. "The Mo Family?"
The male Gu Immortal chuckled and said."That's right. I am Mo Guang. As for why we've come, it's because you have recently become a Gu Immortal and may not be familiar with the rules of the Western Desert."
"Any righteous path Gu Immortal who ascends within the Mo Family's sphere of influence is required to sign an alliance agreement with the Mo Family."
Seeing Lin Yan remain silent, he continued, "There is nothing to worry about. This arrangement benefits both sides. With the Mo Family's support, the Huang Family can develop more smoothly. In the future, when you travel through the Western Desert, you'll also avoid many unnecessary troubles."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yan felt a trace of displeasure.
He sneered and said,"It sounds nice, but what's the price?"
At present, he had no means of removing alliance agreements. Once signed, such agreements would place numerous restrictions upon him.
More importantly, this was clearly a subordinate agreement. The Mo Family might speak of mutual benefit, but the relationship between the two sides was far from equal. Once he signed, he would be tied to the Mo Family's interests. In peaceful times, the restrictions might not seem obvious, but whenever the Mo Family required manpower, resources, or assistance, he would have little room to refuse.
If conflicts erupted in the future, he might even be forced to risk his life for the Mo Family's, leaving him unable to freely pursue his own plans.
What displeased Lin Yan even more was the attitude of these two Gu Immortals. They were not inviting him to join the Mo Family alliance—they were informing him of a decision that had already been made.
Below, the Gu Masters and mortals of Sandwell Oasis all looked up nervously at the sky.
Ever since Lin Yan's Immortal Ascension, his reputation within the Huang Family had reached an unprecedented height. In the eyes of countless clansmen, he was the pillar supporting the entire family and the greatest source of their future prosperity.
If Lin Yan yielded too easily, then in the hearts of the Huang Family, the Mo Family's authority would become even more deeply entrenched.
Nevertheless, his expression remained calm. "I prefer a quiet life and have no intention of expanding the Huang Family's influence," Lin Yan said.
"As long as this Blessed Land exists,it is already enough to ensure the Family's survival and future development."
Upon hearing this, Mo Guang was slightly surprised. Not expanding his influence? That made things troublesome.
He carefully sized up Lin Yan. In his eyes, Lin Yan was merely a newly ascended Gu Immortal from a small force. Since he lacked even the ambition to expand his influence, there was a good chance he could be pressured into signing the agreement.
If the Mo Family could gain an additional affiliated Gu Immortal, it would be considered a notable achievement.
With that thought in mind, Mo Guang smiled. "Lin Yan, whether you wish to expand the Huang Family or not is naturally your own decision. However, This is the rule of the entire Western Desert's Righteous Path.
"Unless the Huang Family abandons Sandwell Oasis and relocates into the Blessed Land, completely become a carefree Loose Immortal."
Mo Guang's tone remained gentle, but the threat in his words was obvious.
Lin Yan's expression turned cold. "And if I refuse?"
The Plump Lady beside him had long grown impatient. She snorted coldly and said, "Why waste words? The Mo Family does not allow independent Gu Immortals to appear near its borders. Today, you either sign the agreement or leave Sandwell Oasis."
Lin Yan laughed in extreme anger. He could no longer restrain himself and decisively made his move. His killer moves had only recently been refined and had yet to be tested in actual combat. Now that two sandbags had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he naturally would not let such an opportunity slip away.
