Wanyan Hongsheng was extremely astute; the Immortal Lord's strength was formidable, but the Corpse Ghost Dragon could kill him without much difficulty. However, to kill the Immortal Lord just like that would be a waste. For the Wanyan Family to achieve greatness, they must accumulate power, consolidate any forces that can assist them. Therefore, although Wanyan Hongsheng summoned the Corpse Ghost Dragon, he did not let it kill the Immortal Lord, but instead extended an invitation for the Immortal Lord to work for the Wanyan Family.
The situation is obvious. If the Immortal Lord is determined to oppose the Wanyan Family and not help them, his fate is clear — he will surely die at the hands of the Corpse Ghost Dragon. But if he is willing to help the Wanyan Family, not only can he save his life, the Wanyan Family also promises to help extend his lifespan, and even help restore his strength, which is highly tempting for the Immortal Lord.
