Nodding her head to accept Alosa's promise, Immortal Miessy transformed into a cloud of stars before flying toward the south. With Immortal Miessy gone, the number of immortal cultivators and immortals interested in Yoze and Alosa decreased until they were the only ones near the pillar.
Now that they were alone and were out of the observation of the immortals, Alosa breathed out a sigh of relief as she turned toward Yoze with curiosity. Noticing that he had returned to his original height, she felt slightly disappointed since she felt even more tiny.
"I haven't known you for very long, but I'm beginning to feel that you are some guardian of mine. My luck has been great ever since I met you."
"I'm just kidding, but I did want to chat with you about teaming up to kill the two wise brothers. I have already gotten Leo and Yamgo on board, so with you, the whole team will be assembled." Alosa chuckled to herself before continuing.
"I don't know if you are familiar with the two wise men of the south, but let me tell you that they are evil. They caused villages to be destroyed and people to starve simply to take over gold mines and use the profits to buy crystals to assist with their immortal cultivation."
"They are responsible for the deaths of numerous immortal cultivators in the third trial. There is so much more I can tell you about their history, but it would take too long."
As Alosa explained the background of the two wise men, she noticed that her tales were not moving Yoze's heart. Even though it might sound cruel, Yoze wasn't interested in hearing about the two brothers' past or whether they were evil.
What he cared about was whether they would potentially cause trouble for him in the future or if there were any benefits to teaming up with Alosa to kill them. At the end of the day, Yoze didn't consider the two brothers much of a threat since they were too weak.
They might have been able to cause a storm in the outside world, where rogue immortal cultivators were considered extremely powerful. Inside the Immortal Palace Sect, they were almost below average. Trying to plot against other more powerful and intelligent immortal cultivators and immortals would only accelerate their own deaths faster.
"If these two brothers dare to try anything against me, I can devour their spiritual energy instantly. They would be dead before they could even blink."
"So the most important thing for Alosa is to convince me that working together to kill them is in my best interest." Yoze thought to himself as he listened to Alosa's speech.
Seemingly hearing Yoze's internal dialog, Alosa lightly coughed before switching up her pace.
"Even though they are sneaky and evil, I believe that they are a threat to our entire group. With them gone, it will not only lower the amount of competition, but it will also allow better cooperation when it comes to getting resources in the Sect." Noticing that she had piqued Yoze's interest, Alosa continued.
"These two brothers are already eyeing monopolizing all the resources by trying to make themselves the leader of our group. As long as one of them gains that position, all immortals and immortal cultivators who have established themselves will enter talks with them and give them the benefits."
"So I want our first action to be establishing a leader before killing the two brothers on the spot. The earlier we kill them, the less trouble they will cause us, and we can avoid the situation where we have to worry about their revenge."
"This is quite a lot of information, and I know that you probably want to chat with the others about this before coming to a decision. I just wanted to let you know that we three have already planned to take action in a week or two."
"Having you on our side will guarantee their deaths and make the cleanup work much easier. If you are not interested at the moment, that is fine too. We will still take action." Alosa said calmly.
After Alosa finished her speech, Yoze merely stared at the sky and contemplated whether it was worth the trouble. A few seconds later, he looked at Alosa and asked a question that had been bothering him.
"When did you five decide to form a team and elect a leader? I haven't heard anyone mention this during the trip here."
"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you that we made this decision right after the third trial ended. With only five of us at the time, we came to a quick decision that we should work together as a group to get a better footprint in the Sect." Alosa said with an embarrassed tone as she lightly slapped her forehead to play up her forgetfulness.
Hearing that he was left out of the decision, Yoze couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. He could tell that Alosa didn't forget to inform him about forming this group. Instead, all five of them had come to an understanding that they would not include him.
He could even guess the reason for their decision; it was simply because they didn't think he was strong enough to be useful to their group at the time. Having limited information, they had guessed that he was only a strong martial artist and was a weak immortal cultivator.
In their view, this was the same as being weak and useless. With such a lower realm in immortal cultivation, they thought he would become a blood-sucking parasite at best or a tool for the other rogue immortal cultivators to extract more benefits.
It was only recently that they knew they had made a mistake in excluding him. And if they included him in their team, they would develop a much stronger and stable foundation in the Sect.
"I'm fine with being a part of the team, but I don't want to be bound by anything. As for helping you kill the two brothers, I am not interested."
"I hope that you can understand my decision." Yoze calmly said to Alosa's disappointment.
