Chapter 779 - 729: Will You Really Accept the Loss If You Bet and Lose?
Chapter 779: Chapter 729: Will You Really Accept the Loss If You Bet and Lose?
“If Mr. Xue has made a request, where could I get the reason to refuse?” Zhao Baiyang was somewhat surprised by Xue Wuheng’s frankness. Just from his attitude, it was clear that Xue Wuheng currently encountered formidable challenges.
However, though surprised in his heart, his face was still full of smiles as he replied, “Joining forces with you, Mr. Xue and I would become a perfect match. We’re certain to achieve lofty goals. There should be a place in the world for the both of us.”
Although the Demonic Cult led by Xue Wuheng has been secretly targeted by the Hell Demon Sect, and their alliance will inevitably affect his alliance of heretics, Zhao Baiyang still decisively chose to accept without much hesitation. Or to put it another way, when he agreed to Xue Wuheng’s request, Zhao Baiyang was prepared to face the Hell Demon Sect.
The Hell Demon Sect is one of the top forces in the Demonic Way. Although the Sect doesn’t hold a place among the top-tier forces of the Demonic Way due to the lack of an absolute power holder, the Hell Demon Sect has a profound heritage and ample strength. The sect is filled with powerful individuals, matching up to the former Canglang Palace in every aspect.
It would be a mistake to assume that the Canglang Palace was weak just because Pei Xuanjing effortlessly killed several Spirit Realm Eightfold martial artists and the Palace was easily demolished when many forces targeted it.
Not to mention the Grand Supreme Elder of the Canglang Palace who might break into the Nine Realms of Spirit, even the other Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivators, including the Palace Master, were by no means weaklings.
The Canglang Palace was of a first-rate category among top-tier forces. This was clear from how it thrived despite attracting many adversaries and rousing numerous complaints against it. It was only after Pei Xuanjing killed the Palace Master and the Third Supreme Elder that it was jointly targeted by others, still enabling the Grand Supreme Elder to escape.
The difference between the strong and weak is often relative. The Canglang Palace was not weak; they were just unlucky enough to encounter Pei Xuanjing and became the sacrificial pawn several forces used to probe Pei Xuanjing’s strength. They also served as stepping stones for Pei Xuanjing to establish his own reputation.
The Hell Demon Sect, which could be compared to the Canglang Palace, actually surpassed the latter in all aspects, whether it was the deep foundation or the number of powerful cultivators, everything was slightly better.
