Chapter 1370 - 1370: Could It Be Another One of His Friends

"Are you really a Daoist Saint?"

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint slowly stood up.

Facing a strong person of the same level as himself, he had to be more cautious.

However, no matter how closely he looked, he couldn't see any sign of Jiang Cheng being a Daoist Saint.

"So this is the confidence behind your Ice Palace?"

He looked straight at Jiang Cheng and slowly said, "Even if you are truly a Daoist Saint, it won't change anything."

"That Yimeng Daoist Saint from Ye Ling is not easy to deal with, even I have no certainty of defeating him."

The implied meaning was, if even he wasn't confident, Jiang Cheng definitely wasn't.

"Moreover, this is Yunmi Dao!"

"You only have fifty thousand people, they have millions of experts, what do you have to fight them with?"

"With power, of course."

Brother Cheng spoke with full confidence.

"Just because you can't, doesn't mean I can't."

He smiled mischievously and said, "Don't measure me with your half-baked capability!"

Although these words were spoken in a cheerful tone, everyone present felt overwhelmed.

What did you say, brother?

A half-baked capability? Daoist Saint?

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint couldn't help but laugh from the anger.

He had seen many arrogant people in his life, but at this level, Jiang Cheng was truly unique and unmatched.

He deliberately sneered sarcastically, "Well, then I wish you great success in the future."

Brother Cheng gestured with his hands, "That's a must."

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint doubted whether Jiang Cheng hadn't picked up on his sarcastic tone.

"I'm just afraid your power isn't that formidable, and you'll suffer a terrible defeat then!"

He didn't think Jiang Cheng would die.

With the power of a Daoist Saint level, even if defeated, he could still save his life.

"Hahaha..."

In the back, many experts of the Ten Directions Alliance burst into laughter.

"At that time, you'll be a big joke."

"A dignified Daoist Saint shouldn't become a laughingstock."

"Then the Ice Palace will suffer major casualties, and you, the Invincible Daoist Saint, will be chased out of Yunmi Dao, it would be a real farce..."

"Don't expect us to help either."

"Unless you join our Ten Directions Alliance and become one of us, otherwise we'll just stand by and watch..."

"Join you?"

Brother Cheng showed a puzzled expression.

"I've always been baffled, why do you feel entitled to require our Ice Palace to join you?"

"Because we are stronger."

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint said indifferently, "Weaker sects submitting to more powerful sects is the natural order."

"Oh, I see?"

Brother Cheng suddenly understood.

"Then if our Ice Palace is stronger, by your logic, shouldn't your Ten Directions Alliance join us?"

These words unsurprisingly provoked a wave of mockery.

"Are you dreaming?"

"Ice Palace stronger than Ten Directions Alliance?"

"Are they even comparable? Does your Ice Palace even qualify?"

The Ten Directions Alliance is a super sect with a million members, while the Ice Palace with fifty thousand is only a medium-sized sect; there's a big difference in scale.

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint snorted coldly, "If your Ice Palace is truly stronger than us, joining you would be possible, but are you really that strong?"

"Of course we are."

Brother Cheng chuckled, "You just said your Ten Directions Alliance can't defeat Ye Ling, right?"

"So what if we can't?"

The Ten Directions Alliance and Ye Ling are evenly matched.

The latter may even have a slight upper hand.

"Then that's perfect."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, "You can't defeat them, but we can."

He spread his hands towards the crowd.

"So Ice Palace is stronger than Ten Directions Alliance, it makes perfect sense."

"Ten Directions Alliance joining Ice Palace is only natural."

What he said was so 'reasonable' that for a long time after hearing it, no one could argue against it.

They could only ponder silently in their hearts.

How could this brother say "we can defeat them" with such certainty.

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint was once again amused by anger.

"Fine, if you can truly defeat Ye Ling, joining you wouldn't be a bad thing, right?"

Of course, he wasn't going to join Ice Palace, those were just words of anger.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, your Ice Palace won't even exist under Ye Ling's attack."

Brother Cheng shook his finger.

"No, they wouldn't dare attack us."

"Hmph..."

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint thought this guy might be crazy, they couldn't have a sensible conversation anymore.

And this dialogue between them was hotly debated by both sects' disciples in the following days.

On the Ten Directions Alliance side, there was naturally plenty of scoffing and mocking.

On the Ice Palace side, they were perplexed and amused.

"Where does our Invincible Daoist Saint's confidence come from?"

"Probably not wanting to lose face, so deliberately retorting Yuan Guang Daoist Saint?"

"I think so too, especially since our Ice Palace and Ye Ling aren't really comparable."

Previously, the female immortals of the Ice Palace had a new thought.

Their eyes lit up, and Venerable Lanmiao suddenly said cheerfully, "Do you think it's possible that the leader of Ye Ling, Yimeng Daoist Saint also knows Jiang Taishang?"

The women exchanged glances and connected it with Jiang Cheng's past experiences.

"It's really possible!"

"Yes, otherwise his confidence would be inexplicable."

Thinking of this, the women got more and more excited.

"He knows our Palace Master, knows the Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable, also knows people from the Celestial Pill Department, why wouldn't he know Yimeng Daoist Saint?"

"Indeed!"

"If he knows Yimeng Daoist Saint and the latter gives him face, then Ye Ling would definitely not attack us."

"Right, he also said that day, Ye Ling wouldn't dare attack Ice Palace, that must be what he meant!"

The women seemed to see through the fog and found the truth.

During this time, the Ice Palace kept receiving external news.

"Ye Ling has started making moves."

"The Nether Race, Undead Race, Blood Race have all gathered together."

"Several major races are showing signs of preparation for war."

"They are highly likely going to start a war!"

"Yimeng Daoist Saint has emerged from seclusion!"

These latest developments made everyone inside and outside the Ice Palace anxious.

Especially since Gong Qing and Jiang Cheng didn't seem to have any preparation for battle, nor any arrangements concerning Ye Ling.

This was very worrying.

"Yimeng Daoist Saint has formally declared war on the Ice Palace!"

"They vowed to bathe the Ice Palace in blood!"

Once the latest news spread, not only the Ice Palace, but even the Ten Directions Alliance and other sects couldn't stay calm.

"Ye Ling is playing for real now!"

"Ice Palace is doomed this time."

"Their only way out is to join our Ten Directions Alliance."

"Indeed, this is their last chance."

"With our Ten Directions Alliance backing them, Ye Ling will retreat out of fear, otherwise they're bound to be destroyed!"

As the enemy's steps for an attack drew closer day by day, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The female immortals, including Lanmiao and Xue Yi, who were initially relieved, gradually became panicky.

Because Jiang Cheng remained silent, still acting aimlessly every day.

Finally, they couldn't hold back any longer and approached Brother Cheng.

"If you don't contact your friends soon, it'll be too late."

"Are you really going to wait until they arrive at the gates of the Ice Palace?"
