Chapter 605 - 224: The Heaven and Earth Alliance Is Here, Relying Only on Oneself

Chapter 605: Chapter 224: The Heaven and Earth Alliance Is Here, Relying Only on Oneself

Perhaps, there really are other cultivators coming to help, who knows.

Zheng Ajiu on the side naturally couldn’t get a word in.

In his heart, he only hoped that they could safely get through this disaster.

...

"The Heaven and Earth Alliance is coming.

What should we do next?"

"I expected this.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance would never willingly give up the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land."

"Actually, we saw it coming too.

There must be a battle between the Heaven and Earth Alliance and the Kunpeng Peak Master.

Especially since the Peak Master directly took one of the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s guardians to establish his might back then.

This move had a good effect.

But it also forged a feud with the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Although there was no grievance to speak of between the two sides.

Now, the Heaven and Earth Alliance is here for revenge."

"Revenge?

Not necessarily.

This is just the ostensible reason for the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Even if the Peak Master hadn’t taken that guardian to establish might, hadn’t formed a feud with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the alliance would still come.

Do you know why the Heaven and Earth Alliance didn’t directly rent the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land from the City Lord’s Mansion?

It’s because they feared being too high-profile and attracting unwanted attention.

After all, the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s power was developing too fast.

In just twenty to thirty years, it evolved from an ordinary sect’s power to owning a major spirit land and producing from seven or eight Spirit Fields and Spirit Plant nurseries.

It was even more formidable than many cultivation clans with over two hundred years of history and ten generations of inheritance.

If they occupied the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land too, it would draw too much attention.

As the saying goes, ’a tall tree attracts the wind.’

In Celestial Essence City, many cultivators don’t look favorably upon the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Therefore, although the Heaven and Earth Alliance had openly occupied the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, they hadn’t dared to actually rent it.

However, they had long considered this place their exclusive domain, not allowing others to encroach.

But for some reason, the Kunpeng Peak Master rushed in and directly rented the spirit land from Celestial Essence City.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance couldn’t endure it.

Their frequent visits before were just a form of brewing.

This time, with two city guards leaving, they couldn’t hold back and are eager to act."

Someone who clearly understood the Heaven and Earth Alliance explained it, and it made perfect sense.

...

In short.

Since the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Alliance mobilized,

all the cultivators within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land were shaken.

They all emerged from their cave mansions, discussing anxiously, with unease at heart.

After all, if a battle truly broke out, their situation would be perilous.

Though not necessarily a threat to life, as there’s still Celestial Essence City overseeing.

But they had just paid their rent.

And with the grand array activated, the cultivation environment was excellent. Most importantly, they had heard rumors that the Kunpeng Peak Master was planning on setting up a reward and punishment system.

Allegedly, there would be Spirit Stones and Spirit Pill rewards for completing tasks, and additional merit; enough merit would give them a chance to request the Peak Master to personally make pills for them.

Seeing a glimmer of hope in cultivation.

They naturally hoped for everything to proceed smoothly.

Avoid further disputes.

...

Celestial Slash Peak!

This is an ordinary peak.

It has no Spirit Vein, and Spirit Plants or Spiritual Objects are unlikely to originate here.

But Celestial Slash Peak is the highest peak around the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

Several dozen miles away from this peak is the Heaven and Earth Peak, where the Heaven and Earth Alliance resides.

At this very moment.

Countless cultivators from the Heaven and Earth Alliance were gathering here.

"Alliance Leader.

What should we do next?"

A middle-aged cultivator with a pale face respectfully asked the leading cultivator, who was wearing a red Daoist Robe.

This red-robed cultivator was the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, Situ Xuan Kong.

Situ Xuan Kong also appeared to be a middle-aged man, though his eyebrows were almost white, his complexion was rosy, and his aura was overwhelming.

Hearing this, he slightly opened his eyes and looked at that subordinate, saying, "Go, send someone to proclaim.

Say that my Heaven and Earth Alliance is willing to turn hostility into friendship and forgive Kunpeng Daoist for killing our guardian.

But Kunpeng Daoist must join my Heaven and Earth Alliance and refine pills for us unconditionally for ten years.

If not.

Our Heaven and Earth Alliance will level the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

And he must give a reply within half an hour."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, that cultivator quickly nodded and then hurriedly left.

"Alliance Leader.

Do you think he’ll agree?"

Huang Shiguo, the Fourth Alliance Leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, asked, frowning upon hearing this.

He recalled his own feelings of panic and inexplicable fear when facing that Kunpeng Daoist back then.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that the other party was not simple.

And would certainly not agree to the Alliance Leader’s demands.

"He probably won’t.

Previously, the terms we offered were much better.

But he was still obstinate.

This time, the conditions are harsher.

He naturally won’t agree."

Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da shook his head and said.

"That’s not necessarily the case.

Before, we were starting with courtesy before resorting to force.

Some people just don’t shed tears until they see the coffin.

Now, we’ve set our forces openly before his spirit land, I reckon he’s already in a state of panic.

Once the Alliance Leader puts forth the conditions, even if he doesn’t agree, what can he do?

In the end, he will still have to submit."

The Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen sneered and said.

"Refuse, and there’s only death."

Finally, Situ Xuan Kong spoke, his tone filled with indisputable authority.

The others, upon hearing this, became solemn, knowing this was the true thought of the Alliance Leader, yet they were also inexplicably excited.

They knew the Alliance Leader’s word was final.

If the Kunpeng Daoist truly did not comply, then only death awaited him.

They were also eagerly anticipating the moment when the Alliance Leader would take action again.

It’s worth noting that several years had passed since the Alliance Leader last made a move.

Now that the Alliance Leader’s cultivation had made another breakthrough, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Layer.

He was undoubtedly much stronger than before.

They naturally wanted to witness it firsthand.

On the other side.

The proclamation from the Heaven and Earth Alliance had already reached Zhou Changwang’s ears.

And in the hall, besides Zheng Ajiu and Guo Sheng, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Qi, the Chen Family Siblings, and the Zou Sisters had all gathered here, their hearts sinking, and worry was involuntarily visible on their faces.

After a while, Guo Sheng cautiously spoke, "Peak Master.

Given the situation, I think we should make a decision as soon as possible?"

The others, hearing this, also stared intently at Zhou Changwang.

The threat from the Heaven and Earth Alliance was indeed too great for them.

Despite it all, they were just a group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators, with only Zheng Cheng having reached the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

The others were at the Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation and Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Facing nearly a hundred cultivators of the same realm, plus four Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

They truly felt a bit of despair.

"Peak Master, do you have any trump cards left?

Or, do you have any helpers?"

Then Zheng Cheng cautiously inquired.

"No."

Zhou Changwang calmly shook his head.

"Peak Master.

We have already informed our family.

Our Clan Leader said he’d come as soon as possible.

However, it’s just that, in the rush, it might be difficult to deploy too many people.

Plus, the journey is long, and they can’t arrive soon..."

Zou Shuixiu from the Zou Sisters quickly interjected, but as she continued, her confidence visibly waned.

"We’ve also notified our family.

Our Clan Leader said he’ll hurry over."

"So did we."

The Chen Family, Zheng Family cultivators all spoke.

"You’re thoughtful."

Zhou Changwang smiled faintly, yet was unsurprised.

Any cultivation clan, no matter how much they favor a cultivator or wish to form alliances, would never easily place themselves in peril.

Therefore, he never expected the Chen Family, Zheng Family, or Zou Family cultivators to come and help.

Even if they truly wanted to, the assistance they could muster would be very limited.

If they truly relied on them, Zhou Changwang estimated that the entire Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land could be leveled before they even arrived.

Hence, he always depended only on himself.
