Chapter 607: Chapter 225: Submit or Die, Shifting Between Illusion and Reality, Action Begins (2)

A cultivator couldn’t hold back and spoke up, deliberately raising his voice, looking at Zhou Changwang with a sneer on his face.

He was a close friend of Zhou Chang, who was previously slain by Zhou Changwang, and naturally, he wouldn’t feel happy about it.

Others also chimed in.

After all, in their Heaven and Earth Alliance, there indeed were cultivators who died at the hands of the opponent.

If possible, they naturally wouldn’t forgive the opponent easily.

Of course, they also understood that an arm can’t outmatch a leg.

The Alliance Leader’s desire for alchemy masters was something they were very aware of.

Now that they finally had an opportunity, they, of course, wanted to completely capture the opponent.

And this was also the reason he was willing to come forward personally.

Otherwise, just having a few other Alliance Leaders step in would be enough to wipe out the rabble within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

While they were discussing, at the back, several Alliance Leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance who had been paying attention to this side’s situation were also alerted.

Soon, Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen and the Fourth Alliance Leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Huang Shiguo, who had fled in panic at a mere glance from Zhou Changwang, flew out first.

Huang Shiguo’s face was full of smugness, and he said, "Kunpeng Daoist, have you finally made up your mind now?

Our Grand Alliance Leader has given you ample opportunities.

Now, if you are willing to submit, it would indeed be a pleasant outcome for everyone."

"Kunpeng Daoist.

I always knew you were a smart person.

Joining us in the Heaven and Earth Alliance is the wise choice.

Now it’s settled, from now on, the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land will merge into our Heaven and Earth Alliance.

And you, Daoist, will conveniently become a new Alliance Leader within our Heaven and Earth Alliance.

It’s just a pity, if only you had agreed earlier, the original benefits could have been directly given. Now, Daoist, you must contribute first.

But you can absolutely become our Heaven and Earth Alliance’s sixth Alliance Leader.

The treatment will only be below the five of us."

Beside him, Xu Zhen also spoke, showing a slight smile.

They knew very well the significance of an alchemy master.

In their hearts, they naturally wanted to recruit the opponent into their fold as well.

As for the life of a guardian?

As long as the compensation is adequate, who cares?

In essence, the Heaven and Earth Alliance was actually established by a few ambitious Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to facilitate smoother cultivation for themselves.

The role of an alchemy master, especially a second-grade alchemy master, is unquestionable. It can surely elevate their cultivation speed to another level.

They knew exactly what choice to make.

"Who said I agreed to join your Heaven and Earth Alliance?"

Zhou Changwang looked perplexed at the two of them.

He hadn’t even spoken yet, and the two of them started talking on their own, with expressions and demeanor as if he had already yielded, decided to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and let them command him.

Even other Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators looked as if it was a matter of course.

As if, in everyone’s opinion, he inevitably had to agree.

How arrogant!

"Hmm?"

"Kunpeng, are you still stubbornly refusing to see reason?"

Their expressions changed abruptly.

"Do you know what our Alliance Leader Situ Xuan Kong said?

’Refuse, and die!’

"I advise you to think carefully before answering.

If our Alliance Leader hears this, with his temper, even if he values your alchemy skills, he certainly won’t spare you."

"One must recognize their own limits.

Do you really think our Heaven and Earth Alliance doesn’t dare kill?"

Their faces turned extremely cold, and their voices became icy and sharp.

The surrounding cultivators all took out their magical artifacts, spiritual power surging, ready to take action against Zhou Changwang.

"Just with you?"

Zhou Changwang’s expression remained unchanged, simply standing there, yet exuding a presence as deep as an abyss and as mighty as a prison.

"Oh?

It seems you’re really looking for death.

Then we shall fulfill your wish.

So you can understand what price you will pay for your ignorance."

Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen’s eyes turned dark in an instant. He stretched out his hand, and an ancient fan appeared in his hand. As the fan opened, a dark, inky mist spread out with it.

Within that black mist, there was a faint phantom figure. Even though the mist made it hard to see clearly, the occasional glimpse of its form was enough to disturb the heart spirit of all cultivators around.

It was an incredibly beautiful female ghost.

Her figure graceful, without a stitch on her.

Yet the ghost’s expression was only icy cold.

As he waved the fan.

Whoosh whoosh~~

The chilly wind gusted by.

A shadowy figure moving at breakneck speed appeared right in front of Zhou Changwang.

It was the female ghost.

Her true form was revealed, and her face was indeed stunning. However, on her five claws, five long nails silently extended, aiming right for Zhou Changwang’s heart.

It seemed as though his Defense Magic Shield offered no resistance, as her claws plunged into his chest, as if intending to crush his heart into dust.

"The Third Alliance Leader’s ghost control has grown stronger.

This technique of switching between reality and illusion—ordinary cultivators can’t defend against it if they’re not careful.

This Kunpeng Daoist is merely an Alchemy Master.

Showing him some respect is only because of his alchemy technique.

Does he really think he’s such an extraordinary figure?"

Seeing this, Huang Shiguo smiled slightly.

He felt a wave of relief in his heart.

He knew very well the strength of the Third Alliance Leader, the Ancient Scholar, which was by no means weak.

Don’t be fooled by the title "Skin-Stripping Scholar" that outsiders gave him; his truly formidable skill is this ghost control, killing invisibly.

Skin-Stripping Scholar, Ghost Control Daoist.

That is his true identity.

Among the few Alliance Leaders, aside from the Grand Alliance Leader, the others cannot defend against this ghost control’s reality-illusion conversion and its method of ignoring magic defense.

At this moment, Kunpeng Daoist was clearly caught off guard.

He was grabbed just like that.

"Ghost-controlling technique, reality-illusion conversion?

It is indeed somewhat magical.

But ultimately just a trick, a small path!"

Zhou Changwang gave a light laugh. The figure being held by the ghost shattered like a dream, dissipating.

His true body reappeared several feet away.

Then, he gestured forward slightly.

Boom!

Scorching high temperatures instantly swept across, engulfing the female ghost within a moment.

"Ah..."

A mournful scream reached its peak, immediately echoing from within.

Soon, the female ghost’s body was twisting and struggling.

However, the blazing flames clung like a malignancy, inescapable, and in just a few short breaths, it burned her to ashes!

"Xiaocui..."

The Ancient Scholar’s face changed drastically, and he uttered a cry of pain, immediately lunging at Zhou Changwang without hesitation.

He looked as if he was staking everything.

He threw the fan in his hand.

Endless dense Yin Nether Qi enveloped the surroundings in an instant.

"A fight broke out?

Why so fast?"

"Did the negotiations break down?"

The loose cultivators within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, along with some of the distant Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators, wore puzzled expressions.

They only saw the Kunpeng Daoist stepping out of the mountain gate, and from the Heaven and Earth Alliance side, only the Third and Fourth Alliance Leaders stepped forward.

Initially, the Third Alliance Leader Xu Zhen and the Fourth Alliance Leader Huang Shiguo were wearing smiles, appearing to be having a pleasant conversation with Kunpeng Daoist.

But the next moment, their expressions changed.

They then made a direct move, showing no mercy.

And as a result,

it seemed the Third Alliance Leader Xu Zhen suffered a loss?

At this moment, his ferociously frantic expression was as if he and Kunpeng Daoist had a vendetta of taking a wife, truly terrifying.

"Third Alliance Leader, don’t be impulsive.

That’s the Phoenix Fire Technique, Phoenix Three Nods."

Huang Shiguo was startled and hurriedly tried to stop him.

A person’s reputation, like the shadow of a tree.

The Phoenix Fire Technique is recognized in the Cultivation Realm as a leading Fire Technique among Fire Element magics.

This Phoenix Three Nods has been collected by various sects, testament to its power.

Upon recognizing this fire technique, he immediately understood.

This Kunpeng Daoist is far stronger than they had initially imagined.

The other party is certainly not just a simple Second-Grade Alchemy Master.

Besides his alchemy skills, his strength is equally formidable.

Just from this single Phoenix Fire Technique, he knew that he definitely wasn’t a match.

The same went for the Third Alliance Leader.

Especially since Kunpeng Daoist’s fire technique seemed to counter the Third Alliance Leader’s ghost-controlling skill.

Under this fire technique’s cover, it directly incinerated the carefully nurtured ghost cultivator Xiaocui, who had achieved First-Layer Foundation Establishment, to ashes.
