Synopsis

The Tang Clan patriarch, facing encirclement by other powerful sects, tries to leverage an alliance with the Mount Hua Sect, arguing their unique position as an 'outsider' makes them valuable. The Mount Hua representative, however, sees through the patriarch's strategy, asserting that the alliance is more beneficial to the Tang Clan. He demands a proper, equal negotiation where the Tang Clan acknowledges their need for the Mount Hua Sect's support, and reveals his intentions to secure a long term alliance that benefits the Mount Hua sect, not just a temporary alliance to break the encirclement.
