Chapter 591 - 217: You Know Nothing of Our Alliance Leader’s Strength! "Is There More?" (2)

Chapter 591: Chapter 217: You Know Nothing of Our Alliance Leader’s Strength! "Is There More?" (2)

Not to mention sharing it with many cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, even if he alone were to obtain eight million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, he wouldn’t care too much.

He is confident that with his skills, earning these Spirit Stones is not difficult.

"Daoist friend, will you really not reconsider?

I know you are an Alchemy Master with your income, and perhaps you look down on this little gain of Spirit Stones.

But have you considered that an ordinary man without guilt can be guilty just by possessing a treasure?

Indeed, the identity of an Alchemy Master is noble.

But in the Cultivation Realm, ultimately, strength is what matters.

The higher your alchemy skills, the more you will be envied.

Relying on oneself alone, one can never achieve the Dao."

The Ancient Scholar could not help but advise earnestly.

"I know, Daoist friend wants to become the second Xu Ruoxian.

Despite his current extraordinary status, even higher than the Celestial Essence City Lord.

But do you know that Xu Ruoxian also went through a difficult start and only thrived under the protection of the Zhou Family?

Later, he became independent.

If not for the protection of a Golden Core senior, he would never have his current status and achievements."

Beside him, the Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da immediately followed up with persuasion.

"No need to worry.

As soldiers come, the general shall tackle them; as water rises, earth shall cover it.

In this regard, there is no need for the two Daoist friends to worry."

Zhou Changwang said calmly.

"So, Daoist friend really doesn’t want to cooperate with our Heaven and Earth Alliance?"

Hearing this, the Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da’s face immediately darkened, and a faint aura began to emanate from him.

"I’m open to cooperation.

But it must be done according to my rules.

If you don’t follow the rules,

Not to mention your Heaven and Earth Alliance,

even if the Celestial Essence City Lord comes,

If he’s not received, he’s not received."

Zhou Changwang spoke while picking up his teacup and sipping it lightly, yet his meaning was very clear.

Offering tea, seeing off the guest!

"Two seniors, please return."

Beside him, Zheng Cheng seemed to have understood Zhou Changwang’s gesture, suddenly stood up, and said.

As for Zheng Qi, Zheng Ajiu, and others,

perhaps they also understood,

but they still lacked some courage, not daring to drive them away like Zheng Cheng did.

Furthermore, the ones they were driving away were two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

That’s real courage!

While a few admired, they were also a little worried.

"Hmm?"

Sure enough, the Five Tigers Daoist’s face suddenly changed, his gaze sweeping over Zheng Cheng with authority.

Zheng Cheng’s face turned pale, seemingly unable to bear it, but he still stood straight, not retreating a step.

Fortunately, at this time, Guo Sheng timely stepped forward, blocking this aura for him.

Even though he felt a slight pressure,

being at the same Foundation Establishment Realm, between the First Layer and the Third Layer, only in terms of aura comparison, the difference wasn’t much.

At least, it couldn’t form an overwhelming pressure.

"Kunpeng Daoist

you must think clearly.

The only reason we’ve come multiple times to persuade you,

is because our Alliance Leader appreciates you.

But if you stubbornly refuse, we can’t be blamed."

The Ancient Scholar by the side also abruptly stood up, his face full of anger, and said.

"Zheng Cheng!"

Zhou Changwang suddenly spoke.

"Yes!"

Zheng Cheng bowed respectfully.

"In the future, if cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Alliance come, don’t let them in.

Our Five Peaks Mountain is open to any cultivator seeking pill refinement and alchemy,

but the Heaven and Earth Alliance, no!"

Zhou Changwang said calmly.

"Yes!

Disciple understands~!"

Zheng Cheng felt a little excited inside.

Although Zhou Changwang’s words seemed like a response to the Heaven and Earth Alliance, this moment of specifically naming him was apparent that his earlier gesture had earned the Peak Master’s approval.

This was naturally very thrilling.

"Seniors, please!"

Thus, Zheng Cheng once again stepped forward, gesturing slightly, and spoke.

"Good, good, very good.

Kunpeng, just you wait!"

The Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen was extremely angry, pointing at Zhou Changwang with a face full of fury.

"Daoist friend’s actions are akin to digging your own grave.

You know nothing about our Alliance Leader’s strength."

The Five Tigers Daoist’s expression was much calmer, although there was some anger on his face, he didn’t show it, merely offering a faint warning.

"Perhaps."

Zhou Changwang’s voice was equally calm.

In his mind, he thought, aren’t you equally ignorant of my true strength?

His gaze scanned the two individuals, pondering if he should strike them with a Shocking God Needle.

Their strength wasn’t weak.

They were rather suitable test subjects for the power of his Spiritual Sense Attack Secret Skill.

"We’ll see!"

"Let’s go!"

Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen and Five Tigers Daoist Ma Da both said briefly, ultimately lacking the face to continue staying.

They then took flight with Sword Control, quickly leaving Five Peaks Mountain.

"Peak Master."

"Is it really wise to offend the Heaven and Earth Alliance like this?"

After the two left, Guo Sheng looked at Zhou Changwang worriedly and said.

"Weren’t they already offended long ago?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but pose a question in return, then continued, "Situ Xuan Kong is not a magnanimous person."

Guo Sheng’s face froze at these words.

He also had a sudden realization.

Indeed.

Back when Zhou Changwang killed one of the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s guardians, the enmity already formed between them.

However.

His identity as an Alchemy Master was extremely unique.

Importantly, he was a skilled Alchemy Master.

Naturally, this made Situ Xuan Kong interested in drawing him in.

The first attempt at collaboration, inviting him for alchemy, was one such method to win him over.

But Zhou Changwang’s terms were too stringent for the Heaven and Earth Alliance, or rather, the Alliance initially intended to freeload, never anticipating his conditions would require them to provide the materials themselves.

This initial investment was substantial.

The collaboration involving tens of thousands of Spirit Pills, including thousands of Second Grade Spirit Pills... Just preparing Spiritual Materials would cost several million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even the Heaven and Earth Alliance, with its vast resources, didn’t dare to squander in such a manner.

Thus, nothing came of it.

And this time.

Was the second attempt to test the waters.

Using collaboration as a pretext, but more direct.

Directly inviting Zhou Changwang to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance as the Second Alliance Leader.

Even offering the alliance’s annual revenue as a tempting bait.

After Zhou Changwang’s refusal, relations soured completely.

"Though that may be the case.

The threat from the Heaven and Earth Alliance is indeed real.

Not to mention their Alliance Leader Situ Xuan Kong.

Just the Second Alliance Leader Five Tigers Daoist and Third Alliance Leader Ancient Scholar, they aren’t easy opponents either.

Both have solid battle records.

Even the youngest Fifth Alliance Leader Fan Xifeng of the Heaven and Earth Alliance had escaped from pursuit by two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators before achieving Foundation Establishment."

The more Guo Sheng spoke, the less confident he felt in his heart, continuing, "Let alone their Alliance Leader Situ Xuan Kong.

Decades ago, before achieving Foundation Establishment, he had an eighteen-win streak in the Magic Battle Arena and long held the first position on the Same Realm List.

After achieving Foundation Establishment, his strength grew stronger.

The battle records were also impressive.

Reportedly, under his belt are more than five Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators of the same realm whom he has slain.

Especially when he was just in the Third-Layer Foundation Establishment, he had once, in full view of everyone, forcefully slashed down Hu Yuan Mountain’s Fourth-Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Xu Dong.

Because of that battle.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance’s rapid development in recent years has been accelerated."

As Guo Sheng explained, he cautiously watched Zhou Changwang’s expression.

Previously, he was merely a Loose Cultivator.

He had a clear understanding of his own strength.

Assuming he was no match for any of the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

Hence he remained so nervous and worried.

"Is there more?"

Zhou Changwang asked curiously.

These details he had learned through the Jade Scrolls provided by the Zheng Family, Chen Family, and Zou Family.

Some of the specifics were even more detailed than Guo Sheng’s introduction.

But if it’s only this, he wasn’t actually that concerned.

A dozen days ago.

If they suddenly launched an attack.

If he didn’t use Thunder Skill, he really might not match them.

After all, the realm gap between them persisted.

While the power of Thunder Skill might compensate for such disparities, given his other means were lacking, it might not be enough.

But now.

His Seventy-two Flying Heaven Sword Formation had already been cultivated to the level of the Eighteen Flying Heaven Sword Formation, and this swordsmanship had been refined to the Great Success Realm.

In terms of power, he recognized that if it didn’t match the Perfection Level of the Five Thunders Bombardment Thunder Skill, it was at least equivalent to the full-force strike of a Foundation Establishment Fourth Level Cultivator.

There’s minimal difference.

Moreover.

He had also mastered the Phoenix Three Nods, a Fire Technique renowned for its great power since its creation.

Even if it was just Small Success.

Added with his Foundation Establishment True Body mastery, it should suffice to deal with ordinary Fourth-Level Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
