Duan Hong shook his head, "If they hadn't pulled me over, Pingtian Gate would have been very likely to fall under the wing of Leiyin Temple. The three families of Hexi have swords drawn against Leiyin Temple, and a great battle will surely occur in the future. Weakening Leiyin Temple is tantamount to enhancing our own strength."
"If the three families are really as close as they seem, even if I become the Alliance Hierarch, I won't be able to decide anything. On the contrary, from the outside, it would seem as if the four families are united, forming an iron barrel in Hexi."
"Moreover, Pingtian Gate has already relocated to Hexi. If we were to switch sides and throw in our lot with Leiyin Temple now, I'm afraid they wouldn't trust us."
"Just these three points alone, and their objectives have been achieved!"
