Chapter 770: The Blood Evil Alliance Arrives

At Shen Haoran’s words, a tangible killing intent erupted from Changmao, causing the Illusionary Saint Son and Guiyuan Saint Child beneath his foot to tremble uncontrollably. The two had no doubt that Changmao would strike in the very next moment.

“Stop!”

However, just as Changmao prepared to act, a thunderous roar echoed. Immediately after, several figures streaked across the sky, instantly appearing on the Central Square.

“It’s the Blood Evil Alliance!” Seeing the arrivals, the various faction leaders in the square recognized the man in the lead, Xue Chentian, and immediately exclaimed in hushed tones.

Shen Haoran also turned to look at Xue Chentian and his men. Xue Chentian was currently leading two Elders, slowly walking toward him. Shen Haoran sensed a hint of a threat from him, and beside him, Changmao’s expression turned grave as he watched Xue Chentian, his muscles tensing.

“Is this how the Five Elements Sect treats its guests?” Xue Chentian asked coolly as he walked up to Shen Haoran, glancing at the Illusionary Saint Son and Guiyuan Saint Child pinned under Changmao’s foot. He had watched the entire fight between Shen Haoran and the two of them. ‘Two Tier Five Spirit Emperor prodigies from the Southern Domain, and they couldn’t even beat a Tier One Spirit Emperor disciple from the Five Elements Sect. What an embarrassment.’

However, Xue Chentian still intended to save the two good-for-nothings. After all, they were genius disciples from Super Sects. And after this battle, the Five Elements Sect had offended both of them, which meant they had also offended the Illusion Transformation Sect and the Guiyuan Sect. If the Blood Evil Alliance could gain the support of these two sects, then annihilating the Five Elements Sect and dominating the Southern Domain would be child’s play.

“Our Five Elements Sect naturally treats its guests with the utmost care and responsibility. But for those who come looking for trouble, we are just as naturally not so courteous. What, are you planning to stick your nose in this too?” Shen Haoran said coolly, glancing at Xue Chentian without a shred of respect in his eyes.

“Troublemakers? The Illusionary Saint Son and Guiyuan Saint Child are genius disciples from Super Sects. How could they possibly do something so ill-mannered? Don’t think you can just use your strength to pin baseless accusations on people. Otherwise, I will see this matter through to the end!” Xue Chentian said, his eyes narrowing as he stared coldly at Shen Haoran.

“Baseless accusations? Heh, so what if they are? What are you going to do about it? I’m bullying them because I’m stronger than them. What are *you* going to do about it?” Shen Haoran shrugged, a roguish look on his face. He even kicked the Illusionary Saint Son’s body, looking for all the world like a common street thug.

Seeing Shen Haoran act like this, Xue Chentian’s brow furrowed deeply. He had expected Shen Haoran to release the two under his pressure, but he never imagined the disciple would be so shameless. He was completely unlike a disciple from a Major Sect. ‘Those are the words of a common street punk!’

The surrounding Martial Artists’ expressions turned strange upon hearing Shen Haoran’s words. ‘This Shen Haoran really doesn’t play by the book,’ they thought. ‘But to think he could make even Xue Chentian lose face… he’s the first one to do it!’

“Hmph. A mere disciple dares to speak to me this way? Get Chen Yu out here! I want to ask him just how he teaches his disciples!” Xue Chentian snorted, his voice laced with anger.

“See our Sect Leader? Apologies, Sect Leader Chen is busy. There’s no need to trouble him with such a trivial matter. Besides,” Shen Haoran added, giving Xue Chentian a cool glance, “you aren’t qualified to meet our Sect Leader.”

“Not qualified!” Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Xue Chentian’s fists clenched. He was the great Alliance Leader of the Blood Evil Alliance, an influential figure who held immense power in the Northern Domain! His Blood Evil Alliance had suppressed the Five Elements Sect so thoroughly they couldn’t even hold their heads up. And now, some insignificant disciple was telling him he wasn’t qualified to meet the Five Elements Sect’s leader? This was a naked, blatant insult!

“Good. Very good! You’re the first person who’s ever dared to speak to me like that!” Xue Chentian’s face was grim as he stared at Shen Haoran. He then took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart. He knew that anger wouldn’t solve the problem. ‘This Five Elements Sect disciple is no simple character,’ he thought. ‘He has a Spirit Emperor Tier Beast Pet and shows no fear in my presence. It seems inviting all the factions of the Southern Domain was his idea.’

“I’m done wasting words with you. We came here today with only one purpose: hand over the members of the Shen Family hiding in your sect, and from this day forward, the Five Elements Sect will obey the commands of my Blood Evil Alliance. If Chen Yu agrees to this, I will spare the Five Elements Sect. If you refuse, the Martial Artists of my Blood Evil Alliance will raze the Five Elements Sect to the ground within half a day, and we will leave no one alive!” Xue Chentian said coldly to Shen Haoran.

“Are you threatening me?” Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed at Xue Chentian’s words.

“Threaten you? Even with a Spirit Emperor Tier Beast Pet, the Five Elements Sect is not worthy of my threats!” Xue Chentian snorted. An extremely tyrannical aura erupted from his body, making him seem like the master of heaven and earth.

“We’re done for. The Blood Evil Alliance came prepared this time!”

“The strength the Five Elements Sect has shown is still nothing in the face of the Blood Evil Alliance. You have to remember, the Blood Evil Alliance has two Spirit Emperor Powerhouses!”

“It looks like the Blood Evil Alliance figured out the Five Elements Sect’s plan and decided to beat them at their own game. The Five Elements Sect is in for a world of hurt now!”

Hearing Xue Chentian’s words, the Martial Artists in the square began to whisper amongst themselves. They quietly took a step back, positioning themselves behind the Blood Evil Alliance. The situation had reached the point where the smaller factions had to choose a side. If they chose correctly, their future would be smooth sailing. But if they chose wrong, they would likely fall into an abyss, damned for all eternity!

A moment later, most of the factions had sided with Xue Chentian. Based on apparent strength, the Five Elements Sect was sorely lacking. Whether it was high-level combat power or the disciples, their numbers were a critical weakness, even if the disciples themselves were strong. Once war broke out with the Blood Evil Alliance, the Five Elements Sect was destined for annihilation.

However, a few factions chose to remain neutral, unwilling to be dragged into the conflict. The Sword Control Palace was one of them. But to everyone’s surprise, the Purple Luo Palace—another Super Sect—moved to stand behind Shen Haoran. It was clear they intended to support the Five Elements Sect!

“Aren’t you afraid your sect will be targeted by the Blood Evil Alliance?” Shen Haoran asked quietly, looking at Zi Yuexi who now stood behind him.

“You’ll protect my sect, so there’s nothing to be afraid of,” Zi Yuexi replied calmly. Due to the purple veil she wore, no one could see her expression.

“You have a lot of confidence in me. In that case, I can’t let you down!” A roguish smile played on Shen Haoran’s lips. His hands began to form a Seal Technique, and the entire Five Elements Sect started to shake violently. A moment later, countless pillars of water infused with Spiritual Power erupted from the ground, and the once-peaceful Five Elements Sect was thrown into turmoil…
