Kapitel 52: Three continents.
"The three closest continents form a downwards facing triangle, with this Guanyu continent forming the tip, the left corner of the triangle is the Liang continent, while the right corner of the triangle is the Yang continent."
While Guo Jiahao was talking, he used his fingers to draw a downwards facing triangle in the air, pointing at each corner as he spoke. They did not have any records off Yao Jun, he had just suddenly appeared next to Yun Yantian one day, so he decided to just tell him everything in great detail. He at least deserved to know just why such a great injustice was going to befall him.
"This Guanyu continent is dominated by the Guan clan and the Demon Race, the Liang continent is dominated by the Yun and the Guo clans, while the Yang continent is dominated by the Yang clan."
"The Yun clan and the Guo clan are at war, while the Guan clan is constantly fighting the Demon Race. The Yang clan used to be at war with the Yu clan, but they managed to eradicate the Yu clan around a hundred years ago. This puts the Guo and Yun clan in a difficult position."
Guo Jiahao sighed as he came to this point. The Yang clan had fought the Yu clan for several thousand years, both being equally strong. But one hundred years ago, they suddenly got the news that the Yu clan had been eradicated, destroying the fragile balance that the three continents had.
"You see, before the Yang clan managed to defeat the Yu clan, all three of our continents had a non-aggression pact, allowing each clan to focus on their own respective enemies. With the Yang clan having defeated the Yu clan and taking all their resources, the Yang clan has quickly become stronger than any single one of the clans on the other two continents."
"The Yang clan would not make a move to take over the Guanyu continent, far too many Demon Race there would be no profit, only more fighting. This means that the most likely target of the Yang clan is the Liang continent."
No clan would willingly try to take over the Guanyu continent. While the Demon Race had some presence on all the continents, the Guanyu continent was where their presence was the largest. Taking over the Guanyu continent meant having to constantly fight the Demon Race.
"It was only made worse when the Yang clan gave birth to their future matriarch, Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan was simply too talented, quickly raising her strength. She is now only 18 years old, but almost at the 2nd Mortal Earth. If we allow her to grow any longer, she could very well end up single-handedly doom my Guo clan."
Talking about Yang Yuhuan, Guo Jiahao's eyes revealed a rare dread. When Yang Yuhuan was still just a child, her power could only boost a small part of her body. But after breaking through to the 1st Mortal Earth, her power greatly increased in range. She could now cause the area around her to become her territory, greatly boosting her strength while within that area.
"Because of this, my Guo clan went to the Yun clan a few years ago to propose an alliance. The Yang clan was stronger than either of the clans, but if we pooled our strengths, we would be stronger than the Yang clan. This alliance would allow us to attack the Yang continent and eradicate the Yang clan."
"We almost managed to secure the alliance, but there was one who obstructed us at the very end, Yun Yantian. Yun Yantian being the son of the patriarch and the next patriarch, the weight of his words is only below the Yun Patriarch."
When he talked about Yun Yantian, Guo Jiahao revealed a strong loathing. The only reason they did not manage to secure an alliance was because Yun Yantian vehemently rejected their proposals, no matter what they put forward.
"Yun Yantian strongly condemned my Guo clan, saying that we only wanted to forge an alliance so that we could crush the Yang clan and then use the gathered resources to crush the Yun clan. With his rejection, it became impossible to forge an alliance."
"So you captured me to get revenge on Yun Yantian."
Hearing Guo Jiahao's words, a clear picture of the situation on the surrounding continents formed itself into Yao Jun's mind. At the same time, he finally understood why he had been captured, they wanted to get revenge on Yun Yantian for ruining the alliance.
"Wrong, I captured you to force Yun Yantian to agree to the alliance. If there is no alliance, my Guo clan is sure to fall to the Yang clan. I do not like dragging innocent people into the matters between my Guo clan and the Yun clan, but for the sake of my Guo clan's survival, I am willing to do whatever it takes."
Contrary to what Yao Jun expected, Guo Jiahao shook his head as he responded. Guo Jiahao knew that killing Yao Jun would only enrage Yun Yantian further, giving them no benefits. Keeping him captured and tortured on the other hand, that could make them force Yun Yantian to change his mind unless he did not care about Yao Jun's life that is.
"What makes you so certain that just capturing me will make Yun Yantian change his mind? Our relationship is not even that good."
Yao Jun had an indifferent expression as he spoke, trying to trick Guo Jiahao. Yao Jun did not want Yun Yantian to learn of this and end up doing something foolish. When Yao Jun was being attacked outside of Great Xian City, Yun Yantian did not hesitate to become enemies with the entire city just to save Yao Jun. He could easily imagine Yun Yantian becoming so enraged that he would foolishly charge over and try to single-handedly free Yao Jun.
"There is no need to lie to me, anyone who Yun Yantian is willing to call a brother, is someone he is willing to do anything for. He also gave you the Yun Emblem. That Emblem is the mark of the future Yun Patriarch, seeing it is like seeing Yun Yantian himself. Would he really give that to someone he does not have a good relationship with?"
"Now you know why I have brought you here, we will free you once Yun Yantian has accepted the alliance. If he does not, then this stone room will become your tomb. "
Guo Jiahao shook his head at Yao Jun's words. If they weren't certain that Yun Yantian would respond to this threat, there was no way that they would go through with it. After he finished talking, he turned towards the two people that were still standing on the side.
"Guo Zhe, you will make sure that Yun Yantian understands just how serious I am, the more visual it is, the better. Guo Luo, you will tend to his wounds and other daily needs. I will warn you two now, if he dies without my consent, you will die with him."
If Yao Jun died before they managed to secure an alliance, not only would the alliance fail, but knowing Yun Yantian, it was entirely possible that he would ally with the Yang clan to completely wipe out the Guo clan.
"Understood Young Master Jiahao."
The two people standing at the side gave a hurried bow and spoke out with trembling voices. They did not dare doubt Guo Jiahao's words, it would not have been the first time he killed people for mistakes. Seeing their responses, Guo Jiahao gave a faint nod before his entire figure started shimmering and blurring, quickly vanishing from sight, leaving behind only Yao Jun and the two people from the Guo clan.
Yao Jun quickly scanned his surroundings, but Guo Jiahao had completely vanished from his sight,. He didn't appear in a different part of the estate so it didn't seem like his power was based on teleportation, Yao Jun guessed that his power might be based on some type of stealth. Since he couldn't find Guo Jiahao, he could only place his attention on the two people in front of him.
