Chapter 1367 - 1367: Ten Directions Alliance

It's quite normal for them to be so confident.

The Ice Palace now has over fifty thousand people and nine Daoist Venerables.

In terms of overall power, it ranks among the top twenty in Yunmi Dao.

What strong enemies could they possibly face?

Moreover, there's the 'Invincible Daoist Saint' here.

Apart from the first and second ranked Ten Directions Alliance and Ye Ling, the Ice Palace can rampage across Yunmi Dao.

Kill freely!

Seeing their confident demeanor, Brother Cheng above secretly curled his lips.

You guys are really enthusiastic.

Are you trying to compete with me for the King Bi title?

Stealing all my chance to shine.

He had planned to make a move this time and showcase his Daoist Saint level combat power.

The group soon flew outside.

And their spirits sank halfway.

Outside the sect, battle flags flapped in the wind, palaces and Immortal Vehicles obscured the sky, and strong figures stood like ancient gods.

Gong Qing led the crowd into the sky, and upon seeing the enemy's formation, she inhaled sharply.

Among the densely packed crowd, a rough glance revealed not less than a million!

The Daoist Venerables accompanying her to the battle turned ashen.

"Ten Directions Alliance!"

"Yuan Guang Daoist Saint!"

"And Yunyue Temple!"

"Celestial Flame Sect!"

"Divine Mountain Family!"

Besides the Ten Directions Alliance, the other sects and families were among the top ten strongest forces in Yunmi Dao.

Every name was one they had long been accustomed to hearing.

And now, they all stood menacingly opposed to them.

The Daoist Venerables of the Ice Palace felt bitter and almost cried.

They thought the Ice Palace feared nothing except the Ten Directions Alliance and Ye Ling.

Yet this time, the Ten Directions Alliance was precisely among them.

How can this be endured?

"Didn't expect this, truly a sect with such power hidden in Hualing Mountain."

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint, leading the opposing side, flew to the front of the formation.

And behind him were over a hundred Daoist Venerables—a terrifying lineup.

"Ice Palace?"

"Let all of your people come out!"

"I know you have more than this."

"Didn't you have a million disciples? Why are only these few out? Do you look down on us?"

These people were invited by Beihe, Liuyuan, and Jin Pi from the Celestial Pill Department.

Previously, the Three-Eyed Tiger had exaggerated and made them believe that Elder Jiang had indeed been attacked by a million female immortals.

So they sought help across Yunmi Dao.

The face of an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist is not ordinary, and top sects like Ten Directions Alliance immediately agreed to help with all their might.

These sects were even thrilled.

It's rare to have such an opportunity for an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster to owe them a favor.

Upon learning that the Celestial Pill Department's Chief had been captured by a million female immortals, top sects found it absurd.

Though Yunmi Dao has numbers and strength, once numbers reach a certain level, quality becomes essential.

And recruiting high-realm people is challenging.

Even the Ten Directions Alliance was only a million strong.

Where did a super sect with millions suddenly emerge? And all female immortals?

How is that possible?

After searching around for a while, they finally targeted the Ice Palace as the most likely suspect.

Though fifty thousand are far from a million, this sect was composed entirely of those above Venerable, and hadn't been heard of before.

Clearly, something was amiss.

Faced with their interrogation, the Ice Palace members were puzzled.

A million disciples?

"Maybe you have made a mistake?"

Gong Qing, calm and composed, flew to the front.

"How can our Ice Palace have a million disciples?"

"Hmph, still trying to argue!"

Opposing sects' allied forces seethed with killing intent, each unsheathing weapons.

"Whatever, take them all down first!"

A massive battle was about to erupt.

The Daoist Venerables of the Ice Palace could only look to Jiang Taishang for help.

"Supreme Palace Master, what should we do now..."

Brother Cheng was secretly delighted but remained unemotional on the surface.

"You guys can't handle it?"

"Yes, the enemy is not only numerous, but there's a Daoist Saint overseeing them. We really can't measure up."

"Sigh, it seems I must once again reluctantly step forward."

"So much the better!"

The crowd nervously watched his back as he flew into the scene, daring not to hope too much.

Though he was a Daoist Saint, the other side had twenty times their numbers; the disparity was too immense.

"I am Ice Palace's Supreme Elder Jiang Junsuai."

"Do you plan to fight together, or one by one?"

Brother Cheng didn't know these people, assuming they were indeed enemies.

He couldn't be bothered to ask why they attacked the Ice Palace and drew his sword directly.

Upon hearing this, the fifty thousand disciples of the Ice Palace nearly fainted.

Boss, we were hoping you'd negotiate.

Did you go up and start a battle directly?

Isn't this asking for trouble?

On the other side, the experts from the Ten Directions Alliance and other sects were equally flabbergasted.

Is this a joke?

A Supreme dares to challenge Daoist Saints and millions of immortals?

"Where does he get such confidence?"

"He might be insane."

"But he claimed to be the Supreme Palace Master..."

"How come several Daoist Venerables let a Supreme be the Supreme Palace Master?"

"It's absurd, let's just eliminate him."

At that point, two Daoist Venerables flew forward.

Just as they were about to make a move.

A sudden exclamation arose from behind.

"Stop!"

"Everyone stop!"

"We're on the same side!"

"This is none other than Elder Jiang!"

Seeing this, Beihe Daoist Venerable, along with Liuyuan and Jin Pi, were both shocked and delighted.

Moreover, tens of thousands of immortals also flew from within the formation.

"Sect Leader Jiang? It's really you?"

The Yunmi Dao, with its many people, naturally included immortals from the Ancient Immortal Realm and Lower Realm back in the day.

How could these people not recognize Jiang Cheng?

"My gosh, Sect Leader Jiang, how many years has it been since we last met?"

"You are still alive?"

"Haha, so it's Sect Leader Jiang's sect, that explains everything."

The previously tense scene suddenly turned into a reunion.

Looking at Jiang Cheng quickly being surrounded, neither the Ten Directions Alliance nor the Ice Palace had any idea what was happening.

What on earth is going on?

Half a full moment later, the misunderstanding caused by Three-Eyed Tiger was finally resolved.

Only then did the Ten Directions Alliance realize that the Celestial Pill Department's Elder Jiang had become the Supreme Palace Master of the Ice Palace.

And the Ice Palace didn't actually have a million-scale.

So it turns out this was a blunder, and they came in vain?

After understanding all this, the major sects felt emotionally wasted.

Yet they couldn't vent their anger towards the Celestial Pill Department, and the instigator, Three-Eyed Tiger, had long since gone into hiding.

"Elder Jiang, you are indeed the Celestial Pill Department's Chief, do you plan to stay at the Ice Palace forever?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng becoming the Supreme Palace Master here, Beihe Daoist Venerable and Venerable Jinpi couldn't quite understand.

Brother Cheng mused that he couldn't possibly remain the Chief at the Celestial Palace forever.

After all, there are only twenty thousand years left on that wager.

By then, he'd likely leave the Celestial Palace, right?
