Chapter 166.2: With My Words, I Forge the Laws of Heaven and Earth
At the Blood-Clothed Alliance
Meishan sat on a chair, worry etched across his face.
Dozens of Violet Palace cultivators filled the hall, looking grim. This meeting was meant to address the Water Cloud Palace, along with the conflict between Blood-Clothed Sword God and Venerable Ye Qiong. However, two-thirds of the Violet Palace had arrived. The implication of this was obvious.
"I never expected Venerable Yunju to block Water Cloud Palace," Meishan said. "We owe him that favor."
Water Cloud Palace was a formidable, established force with Yin Spirit foundations. The fledgling Blood-Clothed Alliance didn't stand a chance against them.
"It's only temporary. Venerable Yunju can’t stop them forever." Sighed an elder. "Once the duel between Venerable Ye Qiong and our Alliance Leader is decided..."
Everyone fell silent. Disaster struck right after they had finally found an alliance leader to stand against the Great Calamity.
"It’s my fault. I should've persuaded the Alliance Leader not to provoke Venerable Ye Qiong," the Cloud Court Master lamented. "Now that Venerable Ye Qiong and Venerable Youqing have joined forces, his fate is uncertain."
"Those two old bastards are bullying us!" an old man cursed. "They're severing the Cuiyun Continent’s roots!"
"This isn't the time for blame," Meishan said gravely, turning to Xu Yeli. "Old Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Yeli raised an eyebrow. "Who knows who will emerge as victor. I believe the Blood-Clothed Sword God will win."
The hall erupted in shock. An ambush on the Blood-Clothed Sword God could only have been the result of meticulous preparation by the two Yin Spirits.
