Chapter 214: Chapter 214: There Must Be a Trick
After killing Zhan Ying and obtaining the Immortal Slayer Spear, Jiang Cheng’s prestige rose once more.
At this time, even those masters from various domains being hunted down, as well as the subordinates of the Four Great True Immortals, were continuously defecting.
They then turned to the Feixian Sect.
After all, Jiang Cheng and they belonged to the same category of Ascenders from the Lower Realm.
Moreover, there were no restrictions here; under the Four Great True Immortals, it was like being a servant, stricter than joining a Sect, with no freedom at all.
In just a few days, 120,000 people gathered on the side of the Feixian Sect.
After accounting for those who died in the Void Immortal Realm, and those absorbed or killed by the teams of several True Immortals during this time, this was almost all the Cultivators remaining on the island from the Lower Realm.
Among these people, there were as many as ten thousand at the Saint Tier.
The only one who hadn’t appeared all along was the strongest, the Desolate Domain.
However, Brother Cheng didn’t care too much, he just knew that his cheerleading squad had become stronger.
"Currently, under the remaining Four Great True Immortals, there are still more than 100,000 people."
"In terms of Saint Tier combat power, our side has already surpassed them!"
"The only thing to be concerned about is those Four Great True Immortals."
In the main hall for discussions, over a hundred peak Saint Tier experts gathered.
On the left were experts from Sword Domain, Celestial Demon Domain, and others, while on the right were strong figures from Demon Realm, Celestial Book Domain, and other domains.
Of the top twenty domains in the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms, fifteen were represented here.
This scene even made Mo Chen, an Immortal, sigh in admiration.
Each person in this group had outstanding talent and extraordinary encounters; they were all dragons and phoenixes among people.
Some of them might even be the level of a Child of the Plane.
Otherwise, they couldn’t stand out among the countless Cultivators in the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms.
If they succeed in surviving in the Immortal Realm in the future, at least half will become major figures.
And now, the Sect Leader was sitting in the main seat, surrounded by this group like stars around the moon.
Indeed, his Personal Grandmaster had chosen the most extraordinary one to follow!
He couldn’t help but admire his own foresight.
"Sect Leader Jiang, do you know the Nine Immortals Killing Array?"
"Indeed, in the fight against those Four Great True Immortals, this array is crucial!"
Hearing their inquiry, Brother Cheng felt a bit troubled.
After eliminating Zhan Ying, the remaining six divisions were also staying here. If he wanted to claim those six Magical Treasures, the six divisions would have no way to refuse.
As long as he spoke, for the sake of the overall situation, the other domains would also help him seize them.
But in fact, Jiang Cheng hadn’t gone to take those six Magical Treasures.
"Actually, even without that Trapping and Killing Array, it’s not as if we can’t defeat those Four Great True Immortals..."
His power was strong now; it’s just that he couldn’t find those Four Great True Immortals.
Gui Cang Sword Saint hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Jiang mustn’t be overconfident!"
Golden Dragon King also said, "My greatest concern is those Four Great True Immortals joining forces!"
"Sect Leader Jiang is extremely powerful, and I do believe you can defeat one True Immortal, but when facing four, without the Nine Immortals Killing Array, it is definitely not feasible!"
Others nodded repeatedly.
"Indeed, familiarizing yourself with the Nine Immortals Killing Array is urgent!"
"Sect Leader Jiang must not delay."
Void Abyss Demon Saint’s eyes flashed with a sinister light, coldly saying, "Sect Leader Jiang, are you unwilling to seize the Magical Treasures from those six divisions? Now is not the time for mercy!"
"If you truly cannot bear to, this Saint can deal with them for you."
The Demon Saints from the Demon Realm immediately exuded a faint murderous aura.
"We will handle it cleanly."
"After the fact, we will take the blame in the Demon Realm; Sect Leader Jiang can rest assured."
Jiang Cheng was quite speechless.
No wonder you are called Demon Cultivators; your way of doing things is truly indiscriminate.
He hadn’t taken those six Magical Treasures because he didn’t want to set up any Nine Immortals Killing Array.
The core of that Killing Array could only be the Immortal Slayer Spear; the other eight Magical Treasures, by then, would be drained of a large amount of their internal essence, greatly damaged, and might even drop in tier.
And the several times increased power the Immortal Slayer Spear would gain would only be temporary.
It wouldn’t enhance permanently.
This was clearly not a profitable deal.
Especially since the Bone Refining Banner belonged to the Witch Division, he didn’t want to destroy Lan Ti’s treasured object over a single battle.
"No need!"
He waved his hand slightly, and said indifferently, "I already have a strategy to defeat the enemy."
"Don’t complicate matters."
Everyone was stunned, then asked in surprise, "We wonder what brilliant plan Sect Leader Jiang has?"
"This old one is all ears!"
Brother Cheng had no brilliant plan; it was just an excuse to brush them off.
What frustrated him most now was why the enemy hadn’t attacked yet.
Could it be they were expecting him to search the whole world for them?
Wasn’t it agreed that the True Immortals would be formidable, why so cowardly?
But just at this moment, someone hurriedly burst in from outside.
"Urgent report!"
"The two True Immortals, Huan Congning Wu, are in an intense battle with the two True Immortals, Shao Chong and Xin Quan, five million miles away!"
"What?"
Everyone stood up simultaneously.
"They started fighting among themselves?"
"This is a perfect opportunity!"
"Indeed, while the two tigers fight, both will get hurt. We can seize the chance to pounce and destroy them all in one go!"
Many people were exceptionally excited, and Brother Cheng let out a long breath; finally, they revealed themselves.
Being dragged to discuss matters by this group every day had him thoroughly frustrated.
"Then let’s hurry and set off."
"Not advisable!"
Gui Cang Sword Saint blocked his way.
"Sect Leader Jiang, this matter is too suspicious."
Void Abyss Demon Saint also nodded deeply, "Indeed, with my eight million years of roaming experience, this is likely a trap."
Yashu King stroked his beard with a chilling smile, "Not likely, it’s certain. This is a ploy to lure us into the trap!"
Dog-devouring King wondered, "How can you be so sure?"
Taichang Book Saint from Celestial Book Domain said flatly, "If you were those True Immortals and knew someone could slay True Immortals and obtained the Immortal Slayer Spear, what would you think?"
This...
Some who initially called out to attack calmed down.
After thinking it over, indeed something felt off.
Under normal circumstances, those True Immortals should see Jiang Cheng as their top enemy now.
Especially since 120,000 had gathered here, making it faintly the strongest force.
Even if those four Great True Immortals were in two camps and could not see eye to eye, they shouldn’t start biting each other at this crucial moment.
"But not seizing such a rare opportunity seems a bit regretful."
Brother Cheng actually understood the reason in their words.
Just like the Sun-Liu Alliance against Prime Minister Cao, when three stand in a stalemate, the normal maneuver is for the weaker two to team up against the strongest one.
But he still wanted to go into battle immediately.
Because he was strong enough!
No matter what ambush, as long as he saw people, it would be manageable.
Even if it turned out unbeatable, there was still the Resurrection Skill.
Unfortunately, his internal thoughts couldn’t be heard by others.
"Sect Leader Jiang must not act impulsively; we can just wait and see, with our stable position, the enemy will lose their footing and reveal their true intentions..."
"Yeah, confronting changes with constancy will make the enemy lose their advantage and reveal real weaknesses..."
Listening to these Lower Realm bigwigs talking one after another, Brother Cheng was about to break down.
Do you all really have to be this clever?
How long are we going to be in a standoff like this until the year of the monkey?
