Chapter 135

Dai Dai Qisi’s words, full of confidence and awe, were like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

Instantly stirring up layers of ripples in the hall.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat panicked and restless due to the strong enemies pressing on the border, also stagnated slightly because of this.

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Everyone’s eyes subconsciously converged on Dai Dai Qisi.

They were all guessing, who exactly is the "peerless expert" that this new female Cult Leader speaks of?

To be able to make her maintain such calmness and confidence at such a critical juncture?

A moment later.

The Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao, whose peach-blossom eyes had originally carried a bit of arrogance and disdain, narrowed slightly.

He broke the silence, his voice carrying a hint of probing and suspicion, and asked slowly:

"Cult Leader, I wonder who exactly is the peerless expert you speak of?"

"Can you tell us a little bit, so that we can have a bottom line in our hearts."

"After all, there are many unknown forces watching us in the dark now."

"If that senior’s strength is insufficient, or their intentions are unclear, I’m afraid..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

Dai Dai Qisi, hearing this, just glanced at him faintly.

She naturally knew what Yang Xiao was thinking.

It was nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to probe her background, or rather, wanting to see what kind of heaven-defying ability the backer behind her had.

A strange arc curled at the corners of her mouth, her voice carrying a hint of unconcealable confidence and... awe from the depths of her soul:

"Bright Envoy Yang, there is no need to worry."

"That senior’s strength is far beyond what you can imagine."

"When he personally arrives at Brightness Peak, you will naturally know."

"By then, let alone the mere six major sects, even if the entire martial arts world came together, they would not be able to shake our Brightness Peak in the slightest!"

Her tone was filled with unquestionable firmness!

The Green-Winged Bat King Wei Wei Yixiao, listening to Dai Dai Qisi’s near-arrogant words, couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic laugh:

"Hehehe... Cult Leader, your words are truly light!"

"Could it be that the peerless expert you invited could be a legendary Land Immortal?"

"As far as I know, among the six major sects besieging Brightness Peak this time, there are quite a few famous Grandmaster experts."

"Even the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis of the Great Ming Dragon-Protecting Villa seems to be moving in the dark."

"That Marquis’s martial arts are unfathomable, and it is said that he has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, only one step away from a Land Immortal!"

"Cult Leader, don’t tell me you think that by inviting any random cat or dog, you can scare away these tigers and wolves?"

387

He was clearly full of distrust and disdain for the "peerless expert" Dai Dai Qisi spoke of.

Zhang Zhang Wuji, who had been silent, heard the words "Land Immortal" and his heart moved slightly.

He thought of his foster father, the immortal-like Wudang Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, whose cultivation had long since reached the profound.

It was said that he was one of the Land Immortals in the world today.

If his foster father were willing to help, the crisis at Brightness Peak might really be resolved.

It’s just... he had no relationship with the Ming Cult, so why would he easily take action?

Just as Wei Wei Yixiao was being sarcastic and everyone had different thoughts.

Xiao Feng, who had been sitting beside Dai Dai Qisi, suddenly had two sharp, cold lights shoot out from his tiger eyes, which were as bright as stars!

He stood up abruptly, his gaze like a real sword, staring fixedly at Wei Wei Yixiao!

A massive aura far exceeding that of an ordinary Grandmaster erupted from his burly body, instantly shrouding the entire hall!

"Bat King Wei!" Xiao Feng’s voice, like a great bell, was filled with unquestionable majesty and warning!

"Are you... intending to disobey the Cult Leader’s order, desert in the face of battle, or are you here to bewitch people’s hearts and shake the morale of our Ming Cult?!"

Wei Wei Yixiao was struck by the terrifying aura on Xiao Feng, and felt his whole body stiffen, as if he were being pressed by an invisible giant mountain, making even breathing difficult!

His face changed slightly, and he was secretly horrified in his heart.

This man from the Great Song actually had such formidable strength?!

His aura was not the least bit inferior to him, the famous Bat King!

Even... perhaps even more so?!

Although he was indignant, he also knew that he was definitely no match for Xiao Feng.

He snorted coldly and said no more, but a trace of imperceptible gloom and fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Dai Dai Qisi saw Xiao Feng come out to deter Wei Wei Yixiao, and she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She knew that although Xiao Feng was not her true subordinate, his upright style of doing things and his promise to her were still trustworthy.

With him here, at least he could temporarily stabilize the situation at Brightness Peak.

She stood up slowly, her gaze sweeping majestically over all the Ming Cult high-level officials in the hall.

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, filled with unquestionable firmness:

"Colleagues!"

"I know that you may still have doubts in your hearts, and you may still have unwillingness."

"But, now that strong enemies are pressing on the border, our Ming Cult has reached the autumn of life and death!"

"Only by uniting as one and working together can we survive this disaster!"

"This Cult Leader can guarantee to everyone that we only need to hold on for these two days!"

"When that senior expert arrives, these so-called righteous sects and martial arts experts will be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs, vulnerable to a single blow!"

"By then, it will be the day for our Ming Cult to hold our heads high and shake the world!"

Her voice was filled with strong confidence and infectious power, making the Ming Cult members, who had been somewhat shaken, gradually rise with a glimmer of hope and fighting spirit.

Zhang Zhang Wuji looked at Dai Dai Qisi’s confident appearance, as if everything was under control.

Although he was still somewhat worried, he also knew that he was currently of low status and speaking more would be useless.

He was just about to open his mouth to bid farewell to Dai Dai Qisi and go down the mountain to find other ways to save them.

Just at this moment!

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening loud noise suddenly came from the foot of Brightness Peak!

Immediately after, there were bursts of shouting and killing, as well as the intense sound of weapons clashing, surging like a tide!

The entire Brightness Peak seemed to tremble slightly under this sudden impact!

"It’s not good! Cult Leader! It’s not good!"

A Ming Cult member, covered in blood and with broken armor, crawled into the council hall.

His face was filled with horror and despair, and his voice was hoarse as he cried out:

"Cult Leader! ...They... they have killed their way up!!"

"The brothers at the foot of the mountain... have already... have already been unable to hold on!"

"What?!"

Everyone in the hall changed their expressions!

Why was it so sudden?!

Why did the coalition forces of the sects choose to launch a full-scale attack at this time when there was clearly no movement before?!

Could it be... that they already knew the truth about the emptiness inside Brightness Peak?!

Or was it that they didn’t intend to give the Ming Cult any chance to catch their breath at all?!

There was no omen or news at all! This was clearly a long-planned surprise attack!

Dai Dai Qisi’s pretty face was instantly covered in frost!

She didn’t expect these so-called righteous sects to be so despicable and shameless, attacking without declaring war!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and anxiety in her heart.

Her gaze swept sharply over all the Ming Cult high-level officials in the hall, and she said coldly and decisively:

"Everyone! Things have come to this, there is no point in saying more!"

"When two armies meet, the brave one wins!"

"Follow me to meet the enemy! Swear to defend Brightness Peak to the death!"

"Let the holy fire of our Ming Cult burn through the entire martial arts world again!"
