Chapter 197: Dead Legs, Run Faster
“Yes, that’s right. What the Alliance Master said was correct. We cultivators had long suffered under the Sacred Land of Lingxu.”
“My Dao companion ran away precisely because she followed a disciple of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.”
“And there was more, those stationed guards were simply not human. My disciple merely killed a few mortals, yet they actually seized my disciple.”
“I only wanted to become an emperor, gather the nation’s fortune to raise my cultivation. It only caused suffering to some mortals, yet they still came to stop me.”
“If not for them, who knew how many times greater the cultivation of us sect people would have been.”
When the cultivators of the Haoran Righteous Alliance mentioned the Sacred Land of Lingxu, they all gritted their teeth in hatred. Just as they said, they had suffered under the Sacred Land of Lingxu for a very long time.
Jiang Tiancheng, the first Alliance Master of the Haoran Righteous Alliance, looked at those cultivators who, under his guidance, were passionately and indignantly recounting their grievances, and gently stroked his beard as he smiled.
As a peak Union Realm powerhouse, he had already remained at this realm for far too long. The main reason was the lack of various resources, as he did not possess the same vast foundation and wealth as the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Otherwise, he would have broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm long ago.
Later, after the Evil Demons sealed off Heaven and Earth, he could only seal himself, until this period when the Evil Demon blockade was finally broken and freedom was restored.
Jiang Tiancheng could feel that his lifespan was nearing its end. Undoubtedly, this time was his final opportunity.
Setting up such a Haoran Righteous Alliance was something he had planned long ago, intending to contend head-on with the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Everyone wanted to become an Immortal. No one wanted to die.
Now that the Sacred Land of Lingxu was in great chaos, with a large number of Union Realm Ancestors dead, and with the additional move of accepting disciples without regard for aptitude, digging out the roots of sects across various regions, with such a perfect opportunity, he swiftly contacted his friends and successfully established the Haoran Righteous Alliance, wanting to compete with the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Afterward, people from the Three Sacred Lands also contacted Jiang Tiancheng. Having reached this point, Jiang Tiancheng naturally seized this opportunity.
In his view, even if they failed, they could still snatch food from the tiger’s mouth within the Sacred Land of Lingxu and divide up some of its territory.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tiancheng felt better and better the more he thought about it.
Very soon, the grievance conference of the Haoran Righteous Alliance came to an end.
Only those few Union Realm cultivators remained in the grand hall. Then, several more figures walked out from the rear of the hall.
Old and young alike, from the vast auras on their bodies, it could be sensed that their strength was also at the Union Realm.
With their appearance, the number of Union Realm cultivators within the grand hall had already reached eight.
When Jiang Tiancheng saw those people appear, he hurried forward, clasped his hands, and offered a formal salute.
“Sacred Lord of Baiyuan.”
“Sect Master Jiang.”
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan also clasped his hands in return when he looked at Jiang Tiancheng, appearing as though Jiang Tiancheng stood on equal footing with him.
Yet in his heart, having come onto the territory of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, he was extremely nervous.
He feared that the monster of the Sacred Land of Lingxu would discover his arrival and directly rush over to kill him.
However, for now there were no problems. On the surface, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan remained extremely calm, wearing a smile as he said, “That’s not right. Now I should call you Alliance Master Jiang. Perhaps in the future, I may even have to call you Sacred Lord Jiang.”
“Hahaha, you flatter me too much, Sacred Lord of Baiyuan. We will still need to rely on you all.”
Jiang Tiancheng felt extremely pleased hearing this, but he understood clearly that to accomplish anything, he would still need to rely on the other Three Sacred Lands.
“Alliance Master Jiang, my Qingyuan-Yincang Sacred Sect is willing to assist you. When do you plan to make your move.”
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan lightly glanced at Jiang Tiancheng and said.
“We have already discussed it. Five days later.”
Jiang Tiancheng answered without hesitation, directly raising his hand and extending five fingers.
When the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan heard this timeframe, he said nothing. In his view, any timing was irrelevant. What the Three Sacred Lands needed was for these people to probe Li Tianwei’s true situation.
Li Tianwei’s methods were exceedingly ruthless. In the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan’s view, not a single one of these fellows would possibly survive.
“In that case, five days later, elders of my sect will certainly arrive here to assist.”
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan nodded in satisfaction as he said this.
“Good, then it’s settled.”
Seeing the firm attitude of the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, Jiang Tiancheng replied.
After a round of friendly exchanges, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan agreed to many unreasonable demands from Jiang Tiancheng and the others.
Especially all kinds of resource support, including what would happen afterward if they succeeded, and so on.
To the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, all kinds of terms agreed upon in negotiations meant for dead people were nothing but laughable things.
Very soon, after finishing negotiations with the Haoran Righteous Alliance, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan hurriedly left the Haoran Righteous Alliance.
He completely ignored Jiang Tiancheng and the others’ attempts to detain him, rushing back toward the territory of the Three Sacred Lands.
Jiang Tiancheng, who had accepted a massive amount of resources given by the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, watched his departure and inexplicably felt that the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan looked as if he were fleeing in panic.
“Why leave so quickly. I even wanted to fulfill a bit of hostly duty.”
Jiang Tiancheng did not bother to pursue the answer. At present, there was still a vast amount of work to be done if they were to make trouble for the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“Dead legs, you have to be a bit faster.”
After leaving the Haoran Righteous Alliance, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan continuously cast spells, his speed increasing without pause.
Even the elders who had come together with the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan were left far behind by him.
Within the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan’s perception, during the period he stayed on the territory of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, the premonition of death within his consciousness had been constantly jumping.
No matter how one looked at it, it was an extremely terrifying matter.
——
Sacred Land of Lingxu.
The Heart-Questioning Steps were crowded with countless disciples lining up as they ascended the Heart-Questioning Steps.
Every disciple who descended from the Heart-Questioning Steps underwent visible changes in the aura around their bodies.
Many people wore expressions of contemplation, all lost in thought.
At the same time, as Li Tianwei’s orders were issued, the disciples and stationed guards deployed outside the Sacred Land of Lingxu were continuously rushing back.
The first thing returning disciples and stationed guards had to do was to ascend the Heart-Questioning Steps once.
If one paid attention, one would notice that among some of the returning deployed disciples and stationed guards, some were taken away by disciples and elders of the Law Enforcement Peak immediately after stepping down from the Heart-Questioning Steps.
The changes within the Sacred Land of Lingxu were extremely immense. With the distinction between inner and outer disciples removed, and with the Sacred Land of Lingxu opening various resources, more and more disciples had sufficient pills and spiritual medicines for cultivation.
Moreover, quite a few people clarified themselves through the Heart-Questioning Steps, found what they excelled at, and began conducting research accordingly.
The entire Sacred Land of Lingxu was undergoing transformation in full swing.
At the same time, news regarding the Haoran Righteous Alliance expelling the stationed guards and disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu was also transmitted into the grand hall.
Within the main peak’s grand hall at present, Li Tianwei was looking through reports from various regions, with little change in expression on his face.
What Li Tianwei was reading concerned precisely the Haoran Righteous Alliance, as well as the resistance of various cultivators under the rule of the Sacred Land of Lingxu toward the Sacred Land of Lingxu’s directives.
“They even know how to band together.”
Li Tianwei murmured softly upon seeing this.
Such a casually spoken sentence clearly showed what the so-called Haoran Righteous Alliance amounted to in Li Tianwei’s eyes.
When he issued those directives, Li Tianwei had already known what kind of situation would arise.
In his eyes, these people did not represent all the people across the territories under the rule of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
