Chapter 886: Big Brother?

Outside the Beast Taming Sect.

On a vast plain.

A group of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, led by Wen Tiansheng, waited silently.

Not long after.

Streaks of Spirit Light flew in from the distance.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred figures appeared in the sky above them.

The arrivals were precisely the other three top factions belonging to the eastern region of Youzhou.

The Jade Cauldron Sect, the Sacred Palace, and Tianlang Hall.

All three major factions were led by their respective Sect Masters.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the Tianlang Hall team and landed on the Jade Cauldron Sect team.

Just as expected.

Xuan Che was among the Jade Cauldron Sect team.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a faint arc.

Immediately following, his gaze shifted slightly, landing on a figure beside Xuan Che, and the arc at the corner of his mouth grew a bit wider.

Yu'er has come too~

Tsk tsk.

This is quite a surprise; it seems there will be some fun to be had along this journey.

Afterward, he looked toward the Sacred Palace, his gaze pausing on a stunningly beautiful figure.

Sensing his gaze, Yaoguang turned to look, her lips curling slightly as she gave him an imperceptible nod.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

At the same time.

Wen Tiansheng had already looked toward the masters of the three major sects, his face full of high spirits, "Since you have all arrived, then join the ranks."

Upon hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, the Palace Master of the Sacred Palace and the master of Tianlang Hall said nothing, signaling their followers to join the ranks behind Wang Jianqiang.

Only the Jade Cauldron Sect Disciples remained standing where they were.

The Jade Cauldron Sect Master, Zifeng, looked at Wen Tiansheng, a sneer appearing on his face, "Wen Tiansheng, this appearance of yours is truly the classic example of a petty person drunk on success."

"The rules for this operation are that the vanguard follows the Leader's orders, not that we follow your orders; it is not your place to be giving us commands."

Wen Tiansheng raised an eyebrow, "Zifeng, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

Zifeng let out a cold laugh, "I am stating a fact."

"Fine."

Wen Tiansheng nodded, "I indeed cannot give orders, but my sect's Disciple can."

Having said that, he looked at Wan Guiyuan.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, his gaze turning to the Jade Cauldron Sect Disciples, and said indifferently, "Return to the ranks."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the group of Jade Cauldron Sect Disciples looked at each other, their gazes constantly wavering between Wang Jianqiang and Zifeng.

"What? Do you wish to defy the Leader's orders?"

Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them, "If that is the case, then I shall not be polite!"

Zifeng frowned.

A junior actually dared to be so arrogant in front of him; his instinct was to speak up and teach him a lesson.

But immediately after, he thought of how this brat had acted with total disregard for consequences in the Youyun Holy Land.

He forcibly swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

The position of Leader was discussed and decided by the Eight Continents, and its authority was protected not only by other top factions in Youzhou but also by the major factions of the other seven continents.

Once defied.

One would face not just the Beast Taming Sect, but all the factions of the Eight Continents!

Moreover, the Leader had the authority to execute members of the team.

If it were anyone else, they might have had some reservations when facing him.

But this brat even dared to provoke the Youyun Holy Lord; if he let his followers ignore his orders.

He would absolutely dare to strike immediately.

With the rules established by all the factions of the Eight Continents backing him, he had no way to stop him, and it would be himself who looked foolish then.

Thinking of this.

Although he felt stifled, he still nodded to the Jade Cauldron Sect Disciples behind him and said in a deep voice, "Return to the ranks."

Hearing the Sect Master's voice, Xuan Che, Kong Yu, and the other Jade Cauldron Sect Disciples flew one after another into the ranks behind Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this scene, a look of mockery appeared at the corner of Wen Tiansheng's mouth, "Why bring humiliation upon yourself?"

Zifeng's complexion turned a mix of green and white.

Not only was his gaze toward Wen Tiansheng filled with rage, but he also came to hate Wang Jianqiang as well.

Sensing the malice in Zifeng's expression, Wang Jianqiang felt helpless.

That old fogey Wen Tiansheng could argue with Zifeng all he wanted, but why drag him into it?

And in such a public setting, he couldn't even refuse.

However, he was not very worried that Zifeng would sabotage him during the offensive on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Because of the bloody lesson from the first large-scale invasion of the Immortal Abandoned Land.

The Eight Continents had explicitly pointed out during the discussions for this great war that during the offensive on the Outer Realm Battlefield, all factions, regardless of how deep their hatred, must cease all opposition.

No internal strife was allowed; once discovered, those who violated the rules would be hunted down by all the factions of the Eight Continents.

No force could bear this consequence.

Besides this.

His greatest source of confidence came from Xiaobai.

After two years of cultivation, Xiaobai's cultivation base had not only successfully recovered to the Void Refinement Stage, but had also advanced two steps further, reaching the Void Refinement Late Stage.

With strength recovered to this stage, Xiaobai could already barely employ some of the methods from its peak period.

Relying on these methods, it was naturally impossible to completely withstand a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator.

But at the very least, it gave him the ability to escape when facing a Great Vehicle Early Stage Cultivator.

Even if Zifeng were to attack him regardless of the consequences, he would still have a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

In the time that followed.

The top forces from the southern and northern regions of Youzhou arrived one after another.

When the time reached dusk, excluding the Youyun Holy Land, all the top forces of Youzhou had arrived.

Whoosh~

At a certain moment.

A faint fluctuation suddenly came from afar.

Everyone looked up.

Their gazes flickered one after another.

The people from the Youyun Holy Land had arrived!

Under the gaze of the crowd.

A group of figures approached rapidly, appearing above everyone's heads in the blink of an eye.

This group numbered over one hundred and fifty people, making it the largest group so far.

The leader was none other than Wang Jianqiang's old acquaintance, Luo Ling.

Following behind him were three figures, who were also Wang Jianqiang's old acquaintances...

They were precisely the three Ninth-Order Will Stage lackeys of Luo Ming during the Spirit Ranking Battle.

After Luo Ling led the group of Youyun Holy Land Core Disciples to arrive, he did not immediately look at Wen Tiansheng, who was the "host."

Nor did he look at the other Great Vehicle Stage bigwigs present.

Instead, he looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was standing behind Wen Tiansheng, and Jiuyou, who was beside Wang Jianqiang.

"Jiuyou, as a genius heavily cultivated by the Youyun Holy Land, how dare you betray the sect?"

"Why don't you follow me back to the sect to accept your punishment?"

He looked at Jiuyou indifferently, without the slightest bit of aura leaking from his body, yet an invisible pressure instantly descended upon Jiuyou.

Causing Jiuyou's figure to sink abruptly.

Just at this moment.

A figure suddenly stepped in front of Jiuyou, "Brother Luo, Jiuyou has already left the Youyun Holy Land and joined my Beast Taming Sect; she is no longer under the jurisdiction of your Youyun Holy Land."

Brother Luo?

Hearing this form of address from Wang Jianqiang, Luo Ling was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

The people all around were also somewhat confused.

How was this seniority so messy?

Immediately following.

A Spirit Light flashed through the minds of the few people who reacted quickly.

Judging by cultivation seniority, if Wan Guiyuan were in front of Luo Ling, calling him a grandson would be overestimating him.

But if viewed from the perspective of relatives...

If one were to reason from Xuan Ji's side...

Thinking of this.

They all looked at Luo Ling with strange expressions.

After these few people, more and more people realized it.

Strange gazes kept landing on Luo Ling.

When everyone was looking at Luo Ling with strange expressions, Luo Ling finally caught on.

His handsome face turned almost the color of a pig's liver.
