Chapter 215: Chapter 215: These people are too capable
Jiang Cheng couldn’t wait any longer, he now discovered something.
A massive cheer squad is quite a spectacle, but sometimes it holds him back, making his actions less free.
Forget it, it’s better to go alone.
With that thought, he stood up once more and headed outside.
"Sect Leader Jiang, what is this..."
"Oh, I feel a bit stuffy, planning to go out for some fresh air."
Gui Cang Sword Saint, the Golden Dragon King, and other experts were stunned, finding this line quite familiar.
Back when he went to deal with Zhongtai True Immortal alone, it seemed to be the same excuse.
Not again, boss, are you planning to go solo again?
"Sect Leader Jiang, please don’t be impulsive!"
"This time the situation is different!"
"Indeed, last time we launched a surprise attack, they were completely unprepared."
"This time they’re the ones setting the trap..."
"And last time it was one True Immortal, this time there are four!"
Brother Cheng was once again surrounded tightly.
This group of experts now regarded him as a savior and didn’t want to see him getting surrounded and killed prematurely.
They all treated him as a treasure, how could they just watch him head to his death?
Brother Cheng was exasperated.
Can’t you all drop your IQ for a moment?
"I really am just going for a walk, can’t I, as the sect leader, have even a little freedom?"
Seeing him almost in a fit of rage, the crowd slowly made way for him.
Only then did Sect Leader Jiang briskly walk out of the main hall, planning to go wherever his wings would take him, to charge straight ahead.
But the discussions behind him still sounded so close.
He turned his head and was devastated.
Damn, this group of experts was trailing him closely, never straying more than five meters away.
Wherever he went, they followed.
It was as if they were determined to watch over him.
He wore a bitter smile and spread his hands helplessly, "I’m just getting some air, you all tend to your business, no need to follow me."
Gui Cang Sword Saint’s old wrinkled face surfaced a smile, "Ah, we are also getting some fresh air."
Void Abyss Demon Saint said casually, "Indeed, this Saint suddenly feels stuffy and particularly wants some fresh air."
"What a coincidence, everyone wants some fresh air."
"Haha, yes, yes, accompanying Sect Leader Jiang on a tour here is not bad either."
Jiang Cheng was totally bewildered, do you really need to be this concerned about my safety?
I’m just going out to show off and fall into a trap.
If worst comes to worst, just perish and be done with it.
Where are the pig-like teammates in legends who are slow to react and never save?
Why are all my teammates sharper than foxes?
Next, an odd scene unfolded at Feixian Sect.
Sect Leader Jiang wandered around Feixian Sect, seeking an opportunity to slip away.
But behind him, a group of experts followed closely, refusing to let go.
Moreover, the crowd kept growing.
The sky above was densely packed, and those not in the know might think this group was playing a game of Snake.
Finally, with no other choice, Jiang Cheng steeled his heart.
I’ll just use my speed, at worst, I’ll fly away.
After all, you can’t stop me!
With that thought, he hesitated no longer and suddenly transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the sky.
This caused an uproar behind him.
"Sect Leader Jiang has escaped!"
"Quick, chase him!"
"We cannot let Sect Leader Jiang go to his death!"
"Hurry, hurry, he’s all alone, he definitely can’t do it..."
Gui Cang Sword Saint and Void Abyss Demon Saint immediately commanded the others to pursue.
Soon, all 120,000 cultivators from Feixian Sect chased out.
They had no choice but to go all out.
Splitting into two groups, in case the enemy was merely luring them away, those left behind would surely perish.
Flying in the high skies, the crowd felt quite frustrated.
This Sect Leader Jiang, although super powerful, doesn’t use his brain, really making them worry themselves sick.
"The opposite side must have set up traps, flying over like this, aren’t we going to fall into an ambush?"
"But we can’t just watch as Sect Leader Jiang heads to his death."
"If he dies, we won’t have the means to kill a True Immortal anymore."
"Yes, and if his banner falls, morale on our side will disperse..."
"Ah, truly a cause for endless worry."
"We’ll take it step by step, hopefully, persuade him back. If we can’t, we’ll have a decisive battle with the enemy."
"When that happens, we hope the experts of Hundred Battle Domain will showcase their talents and command these 120,000 people properly!"
These people hailed from different domains, with diverse paths to sainthood. Besides being experts, each had their specialties.
The Hundred Battle Domain had been at war for years, and several War Saints had attained sainthood through military formations, excelling in military strategy and tactics.
When everyone had their own expertise, now was the time to display their strengths.
"Rest assured, Old Sword Saint, we will give our utmost!"
"Since we know the other side has set traps, we have precautions, and can turn the tables!"
"Sect Leader Jiang charging in alone may be reckless, but it can still be turned to our advantage."
"Oh?"
Void Abyss Demon Saint got interested, "How to turn the tables?"
Then the peak Saint Tier of Hundred Battle Domain, with a light shake of the military talisman, said calmly, "Traps and ambushes fear not that the opponent doesn’t fall for them, but that someone steps in prematurely."
"Sect Leader Jiang stepping into the trap first can leave the opponent at a dilemma."
"If they spring the ambush ahead of time, they’ll only trap him, exposing their setup. If they don’t, Sect Leader Jiang will break and destroy it."
"At that moment, we can make a surprise attack from the periphery, achieving unexpected results!"
Three Chess Saints from Great Yi Domain stroked their beards in praise, "This is indeed turning danger into opportunity, seemingly a deadlock, yet hiding a chance for reversal!"
"Indeed, on the battlefield, nothing cannot be utilized."
"Even a mistake on our side can be transformed into an opportunity!"
Everyone was convinced and their fighting spirit soared.
If Sect Leader Jiang were here, he might vomit blood.
Are you guys still human?
Clearly, I’m headed into a trap, yet you can reverse it to victory?
There are just too many talents, right?
Lingering with this exceptionally capable group every day, where’s the chance to show off?
But, fortunately, he didn’t witness this scene.
At this time, he had already rushed to the location where the Four Great True Immortals were battling.
Upon a closer look, he found the situation wasn’t quite what he expected.
The Four Great True Immortals indeed fought in pairs, but besides these two sides, another party also joined the fray.
That party, though numbering only a thousand, dressed with bare chests and rolled-up pants, looked like primitive people, and even their weapons were stone rods and forks.
However, their stature was far larger than normal humans, almost all reaching over ten meters tall.
Their bronze muscles shimmered with a faint glow, their blows devoid of ordinary sword aura or dao aura, and they even showed no trace of the Holy Sanctuary’s aura.
Their attack style was equally primitive, simple chopping and smashing, yet one Saint Tier expert after another fell to their crude weapons.
Within the Holy Sanctuary, they roamed as if no one was there.
Every strike shook heaven and earth.
Only the Four Great True Immortals’ Daoist Heart attacks could injure them, causing their flesh to split and blood to flow profusely.
Gazing upon the fierce battle ahead, Jiang Cheng instantly recognized the origin of these giants.
This is the Desolate Race, ranked first in the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms.
He didn’t expect this conspiracy trap, they’d rushed in first.
