Chapter 1652: Successful Alliance

As this aura appeared, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's words, spoken halfway, abruptly stopped, and he gave a strange look at the people before him.

First he looked at Qi Xiong, then he looked at Ye Zhangqing; in short, his expression was as ugly as possible.

Needless to say, everyone knows this aura; this is exactly the aura of a breakthrough.

Moreover, judging from the aura, this is the movement of a breakthrough to the Emperor Sovereign Realm's perfection.

And in the entire Dao Yi Shengdi, at this time who could break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm's perfection besides the Dao Yi Shengdi's old ancestor Yun Xiantai? Could there be a second person?

There is no second person.

I had just mentioned Yun Xiantai, but before I finished speaking, he broke through again.

Just like the previous breakthrough of Qi Xiong and Wu Shou, this is exactly the same—did I just get a second breakthrough?

For a moment, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor fell into deep silence, always feeling that Dao Yi Shengdi seemed to be targeting him.

This has happened twice; each time it's like this—neither early nor late, but precisely when I'm speaking does the breakthrough occur.

Moreover, each time the breakthrough occurs only when I hit the point—what else could this be if not targeting?

He gave Qi Xiong and Ye Zhangqing a somewhat resentful look and let out a dry laugh twice.

"Heh, hehe, you people of Dao Yi Shengdi really know how to pick the timing for your breakthroughs."

The resentful meaning in his words cannot be hidden at all.

In response, Qi Xiong could only give an embarrassed smile.

"Senior, you've misunderstood; this is also a lucky breakthrough for my master."

But regarding that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor completely ignored him; whether it was a lucky breakthrough or not, couldn't he wait for me to finish speaking? Or you could just break through earlier—it's as if we had planned it.

Now it's fine; that sentence was left half‑said, and now with Yun Xiantai's breakthrough, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor simply doesn't know what to say next.

What to say? Say that your Dao Yi Shengdi old ancestor is still in seclusion and doesn't even know when he'll be able to break through?

But Yun Xiantai has already broken through—can you still go on saying that?

Seeing the Nether Clan Old Ancestor seem to be on the verge of breaking his defenses, Qi Xiong panicked a little—what if we anger him and he calls off the alliance?

But for a moment, Qi Xiong also didn't know what to say.

Given the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's current state, if I say a few more wrong words, wouldn't that just be adding fuel to the fire?

If he then simply gets up and leaves, I would become the sinner of Dao Yi Shengdi.

Just as Qi Xiong was left and right thinking, not knowing what to do, Ye Zhangqing beside him spoke up.

"Senior, does today's food still suit your taste?"

He shifted the conversation, not dwelling on Yun Xiantai's breakthrough, but asking about the food's flavor.

Upon hearing this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor didn't care what Ye Zhangqing meant; he darkened his face, nodded slightly, and didn't even utter a reply.

Seeing that, Ye Zhangqing didn't mind and continued speaking with a smile.

"As long as it suits the senior's taste; actually, today's meal also uses top‑grade ingredients, namely the Devil Emperor's ingredients, this Devil Emperor's ingredients........................"

It looks like he's introducing the Nether Clan Old Ancestor to all aspects of knowledge about the Devil Emperor's ingredients.

Taste, efficacy, and it can even serve as a great medicine for cultivators to break through the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Ye Zhangqing explained in great detail, and as he listened, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's gaze gradually changed.

His face showed some disbelief as he looked at the food on the table.

"Does the Devil Emperor have such an effect? If that's true, this could be put into practice."

A great medicine for breaking through the Emperor Sovereign Realm—such a treasure is rare in any faction.

After all, looking across the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, the total number of great medicines that can help cultivators break through the Emperor Sovereign Realm is just so few; even if you gathered them all, you'd only have these.

Moreover, even forces as top‑tier in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie as the Nether Clan and Yongye couldn't possibly gather all such great medicines into their own hands.

This is fundamentally unrealistic; therefore, after hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's gaze changed.

If that's the case, then allying with Dao Yi Shengdi and Yongye to jointly deal with the Devil Clan and the Human Emperor Palace seems not impossible.

Of course, in the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's view, dealing with the Devil Clan is the most important.

After all, the Devil Emperor's ingredients are not only delicious but also possess heaven‑defying efficacy—truly a multitude of benefits.

After Ye Zhangqing finished speaking, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor gave him a deep look.

Having heard this, he could no longer fail to understand the meaning of Ye Zhangqing's words.

"This kid is no simpleton—his combat power is top‑notch, his talent is top‑notch, and even his thoughts are this meticulous."

Even in that situation just now, even Qi Xiong, as the Holy Lord of Dao Yi Shengdi, was for a moment at a loss for what to say.

But Ye Zhangqing quickly found another approach, using the Devil Emperor's ingredients to give him, and thus give the Nether Clan, an additional reason for alliance.

After all, who would dislike having more of a great medicine that helps cultivators break through the Emperor Sovereign Realm?

"You little brat, go learn more from others; with your level, you still have the nerve to call yourself a top‑notch Heavenly Pride all day."

Thinking this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor suddenly turned his head and scolded Luo Jiuyou, who was still licking the plate.

Suddenly being scolded by his own elder, Luo Jiuyou wore a doubtful expression and was a bit dazed for a moment.

"I didn't do anything just now—I just licked a plate; you guys talk about yourselves, why do I also get scolded?"

Luo Jiuyou looked at the Nether Clan Old Ancestor with a gloomy face and spoke resentfully.

"Old man, why are you scolding me?"

"I'm scolding you—what's wrong, I can't scold you? Look at you, what kind of appearance is that?"

"Huh???"

Luo Jiuyou lowered his head, examined himself from head to toe; there's nothing wrong with this appearance, it's just like usual—can this even be a matter?

Regardless of whether Luo Jiuyou understood or not, after a round of shouting and scolding, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor then turned his gaze to Ye Zhangqing.

Immediately, he spoke in a calm tone.

"Kid, tomorrow have your old ancestor come see me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Zhangqing immediately smiled and nodded in agreement; the Nether Clan Old Ancestor said this, and the matter was basically settled.

Immediately after finishing their meal, everyone dispersed one after another, and at this moment Qi Xiong was already grinning from ear to ear.

And Yun Xiantai, right after her breakthrough ended, also rushed to the canteen at the earliest opportunity.

He had only broken through a minor realm, so naturally he didn't need to undergo the heavenly tribulation.

At this moment, holding a big bowl of rice, Yun Xiantai ate while listening to Qi Xiong talk about the Nether Clan alliance.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhangqing stood to the side, sipping tea at a leisurely pace, while the four Bai Hua Xianzi maidens kept him company.

After Qi Xiong finished speaking, Yun Xiantai stuffed her mouth with food and spoke indistinctly.

"So I say, how did you even become the Shèngzhǔ? At critical moments you're completely useless. This time, if it weren't............. sniffle...... if it weren't for Ye Zhangqing, the alliance wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Really, the longer you live, the more you regress."

Huh???

Clearly we were talking about the alliance, but in the end I myself got scolded instead; at this moment Qi Xiong's expression was exactly the same as Luo Jiuyou's earlier, with not a single difference.
