Chapter 1377 - 1377: Two Clans Join

"Supreme Palace Master!"

Gong Qing let out a long breath, a rare smile appearing on her face.

Since Lord Jiang has returned, it means the crisis has been resolved.

However, while she thought this, others did not think the same.

"Invincible Daoist Saint?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear lively and energetic before him, Yuan Guang Daoist Saint was dumbfounded.

He had just confidently declared that Jiang Cheng could not possibly return, and now he was utterly wrong.

"You didn't flee, and you're still alive?"

Others flew out one after another, equally astonished upon seeing Jiang Cheng.

"What happened?"

"Why is he standing with Ye Ling's people?"

Some, thinking themselves clever, guessed a possibility.

"I got it, he defected to Ye Ling!"

"Yes, it must be that; otherwise, he couldn't still be alive."

"Who would've thought that the mighty Palace Master of the Ice Palace would be the first to defect, so laughable..."

Brother Cheng treated their discussions like listening to a comedy show, just for entertainment.

He flew in front of Yuan Guang Daoist Saint.

"Better think about how you're going to fulfill your promise next."

"What promise?"

"I beat Ye Ling and killed that Yimeng Daoist Saint, what promise are you talking about?"

Jiang Cheng shrugged, "Rest assured, I won't despise your Ten Directions Alliance for being too weak. I'll have Gong Qing lead you well."

Hearing this, Gong Qing and Taiheng Tian Lin and others were all visibly shaken.

He really handled so many strong adversaries alone?

Moreover, he even killed a Daoist Saint?

But the others could no longer contain themselves.

"Hahahahaha..."

The high-ranking members of the Ten Directions Alliance and other sects burst into collective laughter.

"What did he just say?"

"He took down Ye Ling?"

"And killed Yimeng Daoist Saint?"

"Hahaha, let me laugh a bit longer."

"Dare to boast even more outrageously?"

"Why don't you say you unified Yunmi Dao in one tour?"

"This is an insult to our intelligence."

They truly did not believe it.

Because believing such a thing was impossible.

Facing a million experts at Ye Ling alone, not to mention the Yimeng Daoist Saint, even a few Daoist Venerables could eliminate him, right?

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint's face darkened.

"This joke is not funny at all."

He stared coldly at the Corpse Race and Bone Race behind Sect Leader Jiang.

These two races, as the main force of Ye Ling, had numerous conflicts with the Ten Directions Alliance before.

In his eyes, they were enemies.

And now Jiang Cheng was standing with the enemy.

"Since you joined Ye Ling, you are now an enemy of our Ten Directions Alliance."

Without Brother Cheng needing to speak, the Three Great Corpse Kings and Three Great Bone Kings retorted directly.

"Self-conceited fools!"

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint was furious.

"What did you say?"

"Alright, make way."

Brother Cheng waved his hand, parting the crowd.

He then led the Bone Race and Corpse Race army grandly into the Ice Palace.

Gong Qing naturally cooperated greatly.

But Yuan Guang Daoist Saint and the rest of the Ten Directions Alliance angrily shouted.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you insane?"

"Letting this group of enemies enter the sect's core?"

Even now, they hadn't made a move, only wary of Jiang Cheng, the Daoist Saint, and worried about the 'million-strong Ye Ling army' behind.

The Bone Race and Corpse Race ignored them.

Following Jiang Cheng, they flew all the way to the Red Cloud Tower.

Then, the three great Bone Kings and the three great Corpse Kings stepped forward, sending their consciousness into the massive red cloud.

Soon, they obtained the sect mark of the Ice Palace.

The Bone Race and Corpse Race army followed suit, completing the simple ceremony.

The red cloud, like a canopy, continued to expand, its scope growing larger.

The onlooking disciples of the Ice Palace were dumbfounded.

The shouting Ten Directions Alliance and other sects suddenly went silent, as if choked.

What does this mean?

What is going on with this scene?

While the Bone Race and Corpse Race were busy, Jiang Cheng opened the system to check.

Sure enough, the more who joined the Ice Palace, the higher his 'Celestial Dao Skills' progress rose.

The previous 50,000 who joined increased his progress by 1.2%.

However, the defection of 30,000 just now dropped it by 0.8%.

And now, with the Bone Race and Corpse Race joining, it rose by 1.5%.

Jiang Cheng was not too concerned with this Red Cloud skill.

He just realized that though related to numbers, different people provided different progress.

Flying in front of Gong Qing, he smiled slightly.

"The Bone Race and Corpse Race have officially joined the Ice Palace as well."

"Don't worry, the leaders of these two tribes are with me and will cooperate fully."

"From now on, you must lead them well."

Even though she had already guessed some truths, hearing Jiang Cheng personally say it made Gong Qing's icy eyes momentarily brighten brilliantly.

The Bone Race and Corpse Race together numbered nearly 50,000.

And these two races were notorious for being troublesome.

The former known for their exceptionally tough skeletons that could withstand rule impact, and the latter famous for being hard to kill.

They had raised quite a storm in Yunmi Dao in the past.

And now, just like that, they became her subordinates?

"I will never let you down!" She struggled to contain her emotions, agreeing solemnly.

Their brief conversation made everyone present understand what had happened.

It was not that Jiang Cheng had defected from the Ice Palace.

These two races had defected from Ye Ling!

But how is that possible?

The Ten Directions Alliance and sect experts, their faces swollen with disbelief, as if witnessing the most ridiculous scene.

"Why would they join the Ice Palace?"

Yuan Guang Daoist Saint could not comprehend this event.

Jiang Cheng said calmly, "I've already said, I crushed Ye Ling, killed Yimeng Daoist Saint."

"Impossible!"

"Something must be wrong!"

He certainly did not believe such a ridiculous thing.

However, the next moment, his Communication Immortal Artifact lit up.

A purple flash, indicating the sect's most urgent intelligence.

Upon opening it, he saw the illusion of a Ten Directions Alliance Daoist Venerable appearing in the void, full of shock and joy.

"Alliance Leader, something big has happened! Yimeng Daoist Saint is dead, Ye Ling has disbanded!"

For the Ten Directions Alliance, this was enormously good news.

Ye Ling had always been their most feared rival.

But Yuan Guang Daoist Saint had no time to rejoice.

"What did you say?"

His voice suddenly rose eight degrees.

Meanwhile, sect leaders around also received similar communication messages.

The Ye Ling army, made up of a dozen tribes, was still alive.

After the Nether Race and Undead Race were destroyed, they could no longer unite and scattered like birds and beasts.

And wherever they passed, the news spread naturally.

More so because the Ten Directions Alliance and Ye Ling were infiltrated by each other.

As these people continuously relayed similar messages back, Yuan Guang Daoist Saint and everyone present were all frozen in expression.
