“You little brat, you’re looking for death!”
Knowing Chu Fan’s sharp hearing, Qi Junhao could only curse him inwardly.
Feeling the throbbing pain from the stump of his severed arm, and recalling the Sect Master’s attitude towards the matter, Qi Junhao’s awe and trust in the Yunshan Sect completely vanished.
He decided to betray the Yunshan Sect, mobilize all the strength he could muster, and seek endless revenge against Chu Fan, who had schemed against him.
“Alas…”
Seeing Qi Junhao’s footsteps visibly pause at the entrance of the tent, knowing he had clearly heard Chu Fan’s words, Liu Yunqing sighed helplessly.
One cannot have both fish and bear’s paws.
Facing the future of the Yunshan Sect, Liu Yunqing knew he had to abandon Qi Junhao.
With the foundation of the Qimen Dunjia formation broken and losing its power, the cave entrance on the deep mountain wall was directly revealed.
“All personnel, enter high alert!”
With Liu Yunqing’s command, the personnel on site quickly dispersed, forming a fan shape to surround the entrance.
Scouts had reported at dawn that people from the Tiger Roar Sect and the Hundred Flowers Gate had already arrived and were in a state of observation.
The fact that the two major forces did not immediately charge forward was naturally due to their calculation of reaping the rewards of others’ labor.
The outer defenses of the secret realm were not easy to breach.
After the Yunshan Sect expended time and effort to break through, they could then drive away the Yunshan Sect and easily enter the secret realm.
Anyone with a bit of sense would plan this.
Liu Yunqing pulling Chu Fan into the alliance was precisely to prevent such a situation.
Upon seeing that Chu Fan’s strength was at least that of a fifth-rank Grandmaster, he agreed to Chu Fan’s demand for eighty percent without hesitation, because with Chu Fan possessing such strength, Liu Yunqing knew that the three approaching forces had no hope of simply benefiting from their efforts.
“Sect Master, the people from the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate are pushing forward.”
A disciple of the Yunshan Sect rushed to report.
Immediately after, sounds came from the surrounding forests, and soon, people from the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate filled the area around the open space.
Tuoba Lie, the Hall Master of the Tiger Roar Hall, and Sun Wuji, the Gate Master of the Hundred Flowers Gate, stood together, indicating that the two major forces had reached an agreement and were prepared to work together to eliminate the Yunshan Sect and seize the secret realm.
With the cooperation of the two major forces, even if the yet-to-appear Azure God Sect appeared, they would not need to fear them at all.
Therefore, the members of the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate had proud expressions on their faces, all appearing confident of victory.
With Chu Fan present, Liu Yunqing was not worried at all.
Seeing Chu Fan look at him, he quickly introduced the two parties.
Afterward, Chu Fan turned, and Liu Yunqing followed him with a chuckle.
The two walked directly to a spot not far in front of Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji.
Tuoba Lie’s gaze swept over Chu Fan first, and after sensing nothing unusual, he said to Liu Yunqing, “Sect Master Liu, I’m truly sorry, but it seems you’ve worked for nothing!”
Sun Wuji followed closely, saying, “Sect Master Liu, if you don’t want your Yunshan Sect to disappear from the Dragon God Kingdom, I believe you know what to do.”
“For the sake of our masters being old friends, I advise you not to resist in vain. It’s not worth gambling the entire Yunshan Sect for a secret realm whose contents are unknown!”
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the Yunshan Sect members standing ready behind Chu Fan and Liu Yunqing.
“Brothers of the Yunshan Sect, it is time for you to make a choice!”
“We welcome anyone who wishes to join the Tiger Roar Hall or the Hundred Flowers Gate now.”
“However, if anyone dares to obstruct us, then I’m afraid it will be their death anniversary next year.”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The low roars filled with killing intent from the members of the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate shook the leaves of the surrounding trees, causing them to fall.
“Hmm?”
“Something’s not right!”
Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji instinctively exchanged glances, both sensing that something was amiss.
Before revealing themselves, the two had already conducted a thorough analysis and prepared to use psychological warfare to disintegrate the Yunshan Sect, which was why they had spoken those words.
According to their plan, as long as the members of the Yunshan Sect were not fools, facing the siege of the two major forces, they would inevitably choose to defect from the Yunshan Sect and join the Tiger Roar Hall or the Hundred Flowers Gate to save their lives.
This would not only successfully disintegrate the Yunshan Sect but also enhance their own strength, achieving two goals with one action.
However, reality did not unfold as they had imagined.
The members of the Yunshan Sect remained calm, showing no signs of panic.
The reason for this was naturally due to Chu Fan’s presence.
Everyone had witnessed Chu Fan’s strength.
Although the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate had formed an alliance, with two Grandmaster powerhouses, did they not have two Grandmaster powerhouses on their side?
One man holding back the entire scene – this was the significance of Chu Fan’s existence.
Liu Yunqing chuckled and said, “Tuoba Lie, Sun Wuji, are you surprised?”
“You still want to use psychological warfare to disintegrate my Yunshan Sect. You underestimate my Yunshan Sect members too much!”
“Besides, are you sure you will be the ones standing at the end today?”
To deter the opponents, Liu Yunqing’s tone and demeanor were extremely relaxed and arrogant.
As for his inner thoughts, he was filled with relief.
At this moment, Liu Yunqing was extremely grateful that Chu Fan had appeared when the two major forces were pressing close and had reached an agreement with him.
He knew very well that without Chu Fan standing there, most of the Yunshan Sect disciples would have already left.
“Hmph!”
Tuoba Lie snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes, saying, “Sect Master Liu, are you sure you want to resist stubbornly?”
Losing the fight but not the demeanor.
Despite not understanding why the Yunshan Sect was so unconcerned in the face of encirclement, they still had to maintain their momentum, otherwise, the situation would be like a collapsing mountain.
Furthermore, both Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji felt that Liu Yunqing’s actions were likely a bluff.
He had long known that their two factions were approaching and had speculated that the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate would likely form an alliance. He had already brainwashed the members of the Yunshan Sect, making them deliberately appear unpanicked and unyielding.
Otherwise, how could not a single person show a sign of panic?
Liu Yunqing shook his head casually, “Gentlemen, I advise you not to entertain the thought of coveting the secret realm!”
“If you retreat now, I can pretend that nothing has happened!”
“If you still wish to retreat after the fight begins, it won’t be so pleasant!”
The outnumbered were threatening the outnumbered?
Sun Wuji’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and seeing Tuoba Lie nod, he leaped forward, aiming directly at Liu Yunqing.
As leaders of their factions, they clearly understood that their subordinates acted based on the leader’s situation.
Although the Yunshan Sect appeared calm, as long as Liu Yunqing, the Sect Master, was dealt with, the remaining members would surely scatter like birds and beasts.
Whoosh…
Tuoba Lie followed closely behind Sun Wuji.
Both of them possessed the strength of a first-rank Grandmaster, and it would be difficult for Sun Wuji alone to subdue Liu Yunqing.
The Azure God Sect had not yet appeared, and if they did not quickly subdue the Yunshan Sect, they might cooperate with the Yunshan Sect and obstruct the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Gate.
Therefore, Tuoba Lie did not bother with the notion of attacking with superior numbers, wanting only to capture Liu Yunqing in the shortest amount of time.
Regarding Chu Fan, who stood beside Liu Yunqing, neither Tuoba Lie nor Sun Wuji paid any attention to him from beginning to end.
Completely unaware.
This underestimation would cost them dearly.
