Chapter 367 - 192: The Day Souls Return in March, White Bone and Human Skin Awnings
Regarding the news of the ’Taibai Divine Gold,’ he simply cannot take it out, otherwise, several major Purple Mansion sects would have a valid reason and might join forces to divide the entire Daluo Alliance, which he cannot withstand.
More importantly, the Golden Palace Sect is particularly well-prepared this time, not only taking action themselves but also exerting a significant effort to win over the Star-devouring Demon City and the Barbaric Beast Sect, pressuring Nine Yin Hall to abandon the Daluo Alliance, otherwise, they will face their combined siege.
The Soul Catching Sect was originally a subordinate force of the Star-devouring Demon City, but after Zheng Yi took power, it broke away from the control of the Star-devouring Demon City and integrated into the Daluo Alliance, so it’s understandable that Star-devouring Demon City would act, as Zheng Yi anticipated.
However, Zheng Yi didn’t expect even the Barbaric Beast Sect, a sworn enemy of the Star-devouring Demon City, would join the Alliance formed by the Golden Palace Sect, which gave Zheng Yi a headache.
Nine Yin Hall and Golden Palace Sect are both major sects with four Purple Mansion Cultivators, and even among all forces with Purple Mansion Cultivators, they are considered a very strong sect. As for the Star-devouring Demon City and the Barbaric Beast Sect, each only has three Purple Mansion Cultivators, belonging to the second tier of Purple Mansion sects.
Meanwhile, sects or forces like the Qin Family Ancestor and the Daluo Alliance, which only have one Purple Mansion Cultivator, are in the lowest tier of Purple Mansion forces.
Therefore, the Golden Palace Sect, teaming up with the Star-devouring Demon City and the Barbaric Beast Sect, altogether possess ten Purple Mansion Cultivators, which in quantity, completely crushes Nine Yin Hall, almost equivalent to the total number of Purple Mansion Cultivators from some of the most top-tier giant Purple Mansion major sects, undeniably powerful.
Such a quantity of Purple Mansion Cultivators, once united, is practically an invincible existence within the surrounding area of the Chaotic Mountain Range, even an established Purple Mansion force like Nine Yin Hall would reconsider and avoid its sharp edge.
There’s no need to engage in a hard and deadly battle with such a united force just for a mere Daluo Alliance.
Just negotiate a suitable price and wait for the profits from the division of the entire Daluo Alliance.
The same saying goes: there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Sect considerations are the most practical.
"Now, the Golden Palace Sect, the Star-devouring Demon City, and the Barbaric Beast Sect, the three major forces, are forming three routes, creating a encircling posture around the alliance mountain gate. But currently, it’s still in the phase of intimidation and deterrence, many small forces within the Daluo Alliance are already showing signs of self-collapse, if the Golden Palace Sect and others really reach the mountain gate position, I fear the situation will change directly, please, Sir, make early preparations."
Qi Lin said worriedly.
The Daluo Alliance is currently facing an extremely dangerous situation, others can flee, but as the alliance’s supervisor, the entire Qi Family is essentially tied to the Daluo Alliance’s chariot, branded with its mark, having no qualification for escape.
Rather be a shattered piece of jade than a whole tile.
Yet, towards Zheng Yi, his feelings are complex, unable to resist speaking his mind.
Seated on the throne, Zheng Yi tapped his finger repeatedly on the throne’s armrest, his face expressionless, his eyes sparkling, unknown what thoughts occupied his mind, he casually asked.
"How is the situation within the Alliance?!"
Had it been an ordinary sect faced with such a situation, facing a combined siege of three major Purple Mansion sects, it would have long collapsed, but internally, the Daluo Alliance was nearly free of major turmoil, besides the newly joined forces having unstable morale, fleeing overnight, most cultivators instead united against a common foe, prepared to battle the formidable allied army.
"The alliance internally remains relatively stable, only a few later-joined Loose Cultivators left the alliance, most coexist with the alliance in life and death."
Qi Lin’s response made Zheng Yi nod, then he ceased to inquire further.
Actually, ever since the Golden Palace Sect announced their intent to target the Daluo Alliance, it had attracted numerous sects’ attention, almost no one believed in the Daluo Alliance’s favorable outcome, anyone faced with a combined siege from three forces all stronger than themselves, could almost predict the result.
However, the Daluo Alliance’s actions surprised everyone, contrary to expectations, only a very few Loose Cultivators withdrew from the Daluo Alliance, and those Loose Cultivators were the weakest group within the alliance, their presence or absence couldn’t possibly affect the foundation or strength of the Daluo Alliance.
Almost none of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators announced their departure from the Daluo Alliance, numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators jointly declared their stance of living and dying with the alliance, and the remaining Qi Cultivators followed suit, showing an unyielding spirit, garnering admiration from all.
This assertion also sparked quite a commotion internally.
Who could have thought that such a force that had only been established for just under ten years, could possess such a powerful cohesive force, facing dire straits, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators supporting the alliance still unite with one heart, resisting external enemies.
Many cultivators candidly said that once the Daluo Alliance survives this crisis, it will definitely soar in the future.
But clearly, everyone’s answer was negative.
No one would believe the Daluo Alliance could withstand a more formidable alliance driven by the Golden Palace Sect, with the Star-devouring Demon City and the Barbaric Beast Sect as support.
Even Nine Yin Hall avoided it, what’s more, how could the Daluo Alliance, with only one remaining Purple Mansion Cultivator, possibly withstand the siege from multiple Purple Mansion Cultivators?
However, what outsiders don’t know is, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators cultivated by the Daluo Alliance were all strong figures from the Blood Cultivator system, even their bloodline ancestors had already become an External Incarnation refined by Zheng Yi.
