Something in the conversation must have struck a chord with Cui Taihao. He no longer hesitated and agreed on the spot, but with one condition: Fang Qingyuan could not use this sword against him or the other two alliances in the future.
This was likely a condition Cui Taihao had to establish to answer to the Sharp Gold and Thick Earth Alliances. Furthermore, his words implied that he now viewed the Qingyuan Sect as a power equal to his own.
Seeing Cui Taihao agree, Fang Qingyuan was overjoyed. He readily accepted, deciding to secure the Magic Sword first and analyze the rest of the situation as it developed.
In just a few words, Fang Qingyuan and Cui Taihao settled a matter that would affect the lives of thousands of Cultivators. In schemes of this magnitude, the Golden Core Cultivators of the White Mountain Sword Sect were nothing more than insignificant background characters.
"Since we've reached an agreement, I'll ask Sect Leader Fang to fulfill his promise."
