Chapter 1395 - 591: Fame from a Single Battle

Chapter 1395: Chapter 591: Fame from a Single Battle

In the past, these people feared the fierce might of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," believing that the "East Sea Alliance" was merely a mantis trying to stop a cart, overestimating itself, and would meet its doom sooner or later.

Now, having witnessed the formidable strength of the "East Sea Alliance," these people have changed their minds, thinking that the "East Sea Alliance" indeed has a promising future and is capable of resisting the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

Of course, only a small group of neutral cultivators joined this time.

Most loose cultivators, clans, and sects are still observing.

A single victory doesn’t mean much.

They want to see the confrontation between the "East Sea Alliance" and the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" before making a decision.

After all, these small forces need to be cautious; a mishap could cause their clans, sects, and their lives to vanish like smoke due to betting on the wrong horse.

It’s no wonder these people are so cautious.

Li Yunjing stood outside the Council Hall, looking at the dense array of escape lights in the distance, feeling emotional: "Only after this battle has the ’East Sea Alliance’ truly established itself."

"I, Master Profound Ice, am willing to join the ’East Sea Alliance’ with my disciples to resist the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ together!"

An elderly man with white hair came stepping through the air, cold air swirling around him; clearly, he was a loose cultivator at the Nascent Soul First Heaven.

"With Master Profound Ice coming, the alliance is like a tiger with wings!"

The Five Elements Master greeted a few vice alliance hierarchs personally and spoke with a smile.

"The ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ is rampant, and we loose cultivators are weak. Now with the ’East Sea Alliance’ as protection, we finally have support!"

Another Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator, "Master Red Flame," followed closely behind, cupping his hands with a smile.

The Five Elements Master nodded slightly and then announced: "From today onward, Master Profound Ice and Master Red Flame will serve as tributors of the alliance, with status equivalent to vice alliance hierarchs!"

Li Yunjing stood aside, secretly rejoicing: "The alliance’s strength has greatly increased, giving us more confidence to oppose the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ in the future!"

In his heart, he never took the Demon Dao seriously.

The only enemy in the East Sea was the "Celestial Net Dao Sect!"

Despite the several encounters with Li Yunjing having the advantage, in his heart, Li Yunjing was filled with dread toward the "Celestial Net Dao Sect."

The foundation of this enormous sect in the depths of the East Sea was too profound.

It deserved respect!

Meanwhile, on a hidden island deep within the East Sea, the Netherworld Ancestor sat in a blood pool, surrounded by surging demonic qi, clearly his injuries hadn’t healed.

"Five Elements old man... I swear to avenge this grudge or not be human!"

He abruptly opened his eyes, blood light bursting forth, and shouted fiercely: "Send the order out to summon the ’Blood Demon Sect,’ ’Yin Sha Sect,’ and ’Ten Thousand Souls Hall,’ the three major demon sects, to conspire together!"

"Yes!"

In the shadows, several figures quietly retreated.

"East Sea Alliance?"

The Netherworld Ancestor looked far away, murderous intent in his eyes: "Hm, I’ll see how long you can remain arrogant!"

...

The "East Sea Alliance" was yet unaware that the Demon Dao had completely harbored resentment toward them.

The Netherworld Ancestor was gathering more demonic cultivators, scheming against the "East Sea Alliance."

In the next half year, the "East Sea Alliance" gained great momentum, with an increasing number of cultivators joining, collecting as many as seventy thousand cultivators.

Among them, the vast majority were Qi Refining Realm cultivators, over ten thousand Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, two hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators, and one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

With such a force joining, many issues immediately emerged.

At the founding of the alliance, the first batch of major sects and prominent clans had already divided the rights and benefits within the alliance.

Those newly joining naturally couldn’t become managers of any aspect.

With more people, more conflicts arose, and the "East Sea Alliance" was no longer a monolith.

"Li Yunjing is merely at Golden Core cultivation; what right does he have to wield great power?"

"Exactly! He’s only relying on the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ background. In terms of strength, any Nascent Soul Elder is stronger than him!"

"It’s ridiculous to hand such an important position in the Law Enforcement Hall to a Golden Core Realm Cultivator!"

"Yes! Every department is led by a Nascent Soul Realm Master, so why does a Golden Core Cultivator take charge?"

"Does he have the audacity to assume the role of Hall Master?"

"I wonder what the previous people were thinking?"

"Are we supposed to let a Golden Core Realm waltz over us?"

...

Some newly joined cultivators discussed covertly, quite critical of Li Yunjing’s status.

On this day, Wen Bin found Li Yunjing.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, have you heard?"

Wen Bin’s face was grave as he walked briskly into Li Yunjing’s quiet chamber, whispering: "Recently, rumors have been rife within the alliance, with many new members questioning your authority. Especially that newly joined Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator, ’Master Cyan Nether,’ has secretly won over many Golden Core Cultivators..."

"Just a bunch of clowns jumping around."

Li Yunjing was toying with the "Purple Gold Gourd" in his hand, hearing this, he chuckled lightly.

As the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Vice Alliance Hierarch, weren’t there plenty who sought to inform him and curry favor?

These rumors were reported to him by quite a few people a few days ago.

Li Yunjing could only shake his head; the loose cultivators lacked insight to discern who was in charge within the "East Sea Alliance"!

The Five Elements Master and other vice alliance hierarchs handled major affairs; small matters within the alliance were personally arranged by Li Yunjing.

Put another way, he was the spokesperson for those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, the Grand Steward of the alliance, overseeing all matters.

Could such a person be toppled by a few newcomers banding together?

As Li Yunjing said, they truly were just clowns jumping around.

"But this time it’s different!"

Wen Bin hastily said, "My informant beside Master Cyan Nether sent news; they plan to make trouble at the alliance meeting three days later, to force you to hand over power of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed with a cold light: "It seems someone is tired of living."

As conflicts became public, it touched Li Yunjing’s bottom line.
