Chapter 1388: If We Don't Join Forces, We Die

Looking at the ancient emperor pattern pill in Yun Xiantai's hand, Ling She Po Po fell into silence.

Do these guys have such gall? They dare to steal things from the Medicine King Pavilion.

Leaving aside connections and influence, just the strength of the Medicine King Pavilion alone would surpass Bai Song Gu.

Although Pill Masters aren't strong in combat, the Medicine King Pavilion still has plenty of retainers.

These retainers are all after the Medicine King Pavilion's pills; it's said there are as many as four Emperor Sovereign Realm experts.

Just having four Emperor Sovereign Realm retainers shows the strength of the Medicine King Pavilion.

However, Ling She Po Po was still mistaken; this pill wasn't stolen, more accurately it was seized.

Back when everyone passed through the Medicine King Realm, Yun Xiantai and the others naturally went in to scout.

But who would have thought the Medicine King Pavilion's people would block them in every way, refusing to let them pass no matter what they said.

In the end, with no other choice, Yun Xiantai brought Hong Zun and a few others, sneaking onto a merchant ship, and only then quietly entered the Medicine King Realm.

But after entering the Medicine King Realm, they were discovered by the Medicine King Pavilion's people, who then immediately sent pursuers without a word.

These Pill Masters act with extreme arrogance; in the face of that, Yun Xiantai and the others certainly wouldn't suffer a loss.

Finding an opportunity, they sneaked into the Medicine King Pavilion and managed to get this ancient emperor pattern pill out.

However, they were discovered upon leaving, but Yun Xiantai managed to fight his way out relying on his own strength.

Immediately afterward, everyone left the Medicine King Realm anyway, since they hadn't gathered any news about Ye Zhangqing.

Upon hearing of Yun Xiantai and the others' ordeal in the Medicine King Realm, Ling She Po Po didn't know how to respond.

Those Pill Masters of the Medicine King Pavilion are indeed arrogant, after all, with so many worlds around, all major powers have a huge demand for the Medicine King Pavilion's pills.

Even Emperor Sovereign Realm experts are polite when facing those Pill Masters of the Medicine King Pavilion.

This fostered the arrogant nature of those Pill Masters of the Medicine King Pavilion.

But that doesn't justify your pill‑snatching; just now Ling She Po Po thought it was theft, but after all this you're even more outrageous—you outright seized it.

However, Yun Xiantai and the others didn't care too much, and directly changed the subject.

"I'll deal with Old Man Ling; after I refine this pill, my cultivation should break through."

"Alright."

By this point, what more could Ling She Po Po say? After all, the pill was seized by Yun Xiantai and the others—what does it have to do with her?

I myself have never even seen an ancient emperor pattern pill.

She secretly thought that very day, Yun Xiantai had gone into seclusion.

At the same time, many disciples of Bai Song Gu still need some time to recover.

Don't look at how those Bai Song Gu disciples are lively and vigorous when they eat; many of them still haven't healed from their injuries.

Since we're going to act against the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion, we naturally need to get our own condition in shape.

Fighting while wounded is obviously an extremely unwise choice, so it also happens to give Yun Xiantai some time to break through.

With the ancient emperor pattern pill, Yun Xiantai's breakthrough shouldn't be a problem—no need to worry about that.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Emperor Sovereign Realm experts constantly yearning for this ancient emperor pattern pill, even offering astronomical prices to obtain one.

It's a pity that no one has succeeded so far, but Yun Xiantai and the others managed it—though the means aren't exactly praiseworthy.

While Yun Xiantai and Bai Song Gu were secretly preparing, Lie Xue, Viper, and Old Man Ling were naturally not idle either.

The three gathered together again, but this time their faces were all grim.

Old Man Ling was the first to lash out in anger.

"How did you manage it? You two couldn't even take down a single Qiu Baiyi, and still got beaten and fled."

This crushing defeat is due to Lie Xue and Viper; even though they teamed up, they still couldn't subdue a woman and ended up being counter‑killed.

He himself had firmly restrained Ling She Po Po, but those two fellows ended up running away.

Facing Old Man Ling's angry shout, Lie Xue likewise grimaced and glared fiercely at Viper.

How can this be blamed on me? You look like two people, but in reality you're just one person.

That damned Viper—who knows where he ran off to—when he came back, not only did he not help at all, he practically became a burden.

With barely a tenth of his combat strength left, Lie Xue still had to protect him, fearing that a slip‑up might get him killed by Qiu Baiyi.

But now isn't the time to talk about this; today the three gathered solely because of Yun Xiantai and the others.

"Alright, that's all in the past—what's the point of bringing it up now?"

"You say it so lightly—do you know how much my Soaring Heaven Pavilion has lost this time?"

"And what about my Blood King Palace's losses—aren't they any less?"

"What's it to me?"

"Then what's it to me about your Soaring Heaven Pavilion's losses?"

"Lie Xue, you came to me seeking cooperation; I agreed and managed to hold back Ling She Po Po—but what have you done?"

Old Man Ling flew into a rage, saying that a sure‑win battle had been messed up by these two fellows into its present state.

And just as Old Man Ling's words fell, before Lie Xue could speak, Viper was the first to say.

"I only want Ye Zhangqing."

"Shut up."

Upon hearing that, Lie Xue snapped, "I haven't even said anything about you yet—this battle turned out like this, and you, Viper, bear the main responsibility."

"If it weren't for you, would we have ended up in this situation?"

Just thinking of Viper makes Lie Xue grind his teeth in anger.

"Alright, let's set these matters aside for now and first talk about the people of Haotu Shijie."

He turned his head to Old Man Ling and said, "This is the real reason the three of us gathered today; everything else is nonsense."

When mentioning Yun Xiantai and the others, Old Man Ling also knew what was more important; although he still kept a cold face, he did reply.

What are you saying?

The strength of those people in Haotu Shijie, you have also witnessed it; there are already two Emperor Sovereign Realm experts, and there are also many Emperor Realm and Great Saint Realm experts.

It can be said that although their numbers are not many, this is absolutely a force that cannot be ignored.

If we also add Bai Song Gu, facing four Emperor Sovereign Realm experts, our only option is to join forces.

Li Xue spoke slowly; just hearing his words, Old Man Ling, without hesitation, retorted.

Join forces? Do you still want this old man to believe you? Is that possible?

After that crushing defeat, Old Man Ling truly lost confidence in Li Xue and the Viper, and even became a little afraid.

These two guys are really trouble, huh. Upon hearing that, Li Xue didn't get angry; having such thoughts is quite normal.

But this time, Li Xue knows that Old Man Ling cannot refuse, nor can he refuse, unless he wants to die and watch Ling Tian Pavilion be destroyed.

So, upon hearing Old Man Ling's words, Li Xue stared at him fixedly, saying each word deliberately.

Joining forces still offers a chance; if we each fight on our own, there is only a dead end. Understand?
