Chapter 320: 320. Reaching an Alliance

320. Chapter 320: Reaching an Alliance

Xiaoxian's silence only further fueled the others' arrogance, and they began to discuss things in a clamor.

"Wait."

A voice suddenly came from outside the door; although it was not loud, it was enough for everyone to hear.

Everyone's gaze turned simultaneously, and they saw that the leader was a man, high-spirited and vigorous, gentle as jade, followed by two beautiful maidens, with a group of young girls behind him.

The moment they entered, the other clansmen were stunned. If these were not the Spirit Beasts of their own clans, what could they be? "I took a trip to Lanbo's palace and rescued all the children who were being held captive."

Su Chen smiled slightly, looking exceptionally gentle.

The others were stunned the moment they heard this. It was not that they hadn't thought about going to Lanbo's palace to rescue these children, but they were afraid of the danger within the palace, so they hadn't gone.

They never expected that this young man would actually go and rescue the children without a second thought.

"You are..."

The Qingluan Clan patriarch was the first to ask, unable to hold back, especially when he saw the thin, small girl in front, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

That little girl with green hair was his granddaughter, but she had been abducted for so long that he had almost thought she had already left this world.

"I am Su Chen."

Facing so many powerful patriarchs, Su Chen's aura was not the least bit inferior.

Even while meeting everyone's gaze, he remained extremely calm and composed.

Hearing his words, they nodded thoughtfully; so he was the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon.

Yet his cultivation was only at the Great Saint Realm.

"You are the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon?"

The Xuanshe Clan patriarch looked at Su Chen with suspicion, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain.

A Great Saint Realm cultivation was something some elites within their own clans had already reached.

It was simply too low.

"That's right."

Su Chen nodded slowly and instantly summoned his Divine Dragon Martial Soul.

Almost in an instant, a massive Dragon soared into the air, filling the entire cramped room with waves of golden light.

Its bright eyes scanned everyone present nonchalantly; despite not launching an active attack, it made everyone's heart tremble involuntarily.

If the others had still held doubts and disdain just a moment ago, those were now completely gone.

Although Su Chen himself was only at the Great Saint Realm, the pressure he exuded was not much less than that of a Quasi-Emperor.

It appeared Su Chen was only in his twenties, yet he already possessed such talent; his future prospects were surely immeasurable.

"Today we have gathered the members of various clans with only one central goal: to slaughter Lanbo."

Seeing that they were all silent, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction and, without any hesitation, got straight to the point regarding today's purpose.

"Of course, Su Chen's cultivation is very high, but if we rush in rashly, I fear we will suffer heavy losses in troops. Therefore, we must divide our labor and cooperate; if everyone works together in their areas of expertise, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring; the others could find no reasonable opportunity to refute him, and no one spoke, quietly listening as he continued. "Of course. We of the Dragon Race will set an example and take the lead, while letting other clans provide support. We now have a strategy to deal with Lanbo; as long as we pool everyone's strength, this operation can only succeed, not fail."

His words were resonant and powerful; though not loud, they reached everyone's ears.

No one doubted the truth of his words; this was the confidence and sense of reliability he radiated.

Thinking of this, the others had nothing more to say; they had all come here today with sincere intentions to completely kill Lanbo.

"Although there are many Spirit Beasts in the Western Wasteland, Lanbo is our common enemy, and we cannot tolerate our living environment being trampled upon like this."

At this moment, Xiaoxian also stood up and said, "If everyone is as calculating about gains and losses as they were just now, then nothing will ever change. It was like this hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it remains the same hundreds of thousands of years later."

These words suddenly enlightened everyone.

That's right; peace always requires sacrifice. If one keeps calculating who contributes more and who contributes less, the final result will only be that everyone gets hurt and the effort is wasted.

Since they had made up their minds to deal with Lanbo, they shouldn't care about those trivial matters; killing Lanbo was the main event.

The originally chaotic situation was completely resolved by Su Chen in just a few words.

The others couldn't help but admire Su Chen's ability to unite them; there was an innate confidence in him that subconsciously made others believe his words.

This matter was considered resolved.

"These Spirit Beasts are still young; although they were captured by Lanbo, fortunately, they are unharmed. We previously went to inspect Lanbo's residence and did not find anything unusual."

Su Chen turned his gaze back to the little Spirit Beasts.

"Afterward, I will send people to scout Lanbo's residence, and as soon as there is any movement, I will report it immediately. As for these Spirit Beasts, I fed them Spirit Replenishing Pills on the way; I believe their condition will be better than before. The great battle is imminent, and this is all I can do."

Su Chen said slowly.

These words were spoken lightly, but they stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the others.

One must know that Spirit Replenishing Pills were hard to come by outside; even when they used them, they had to weigh whether their condition was serious enough to warrant it.

Yet Su Chen had casually fed them to these Spirit Beasts—and one must know that although it wasn't a huge number, there were still over twenty of them.

And he spoke of it so lightly, without asking for any reward!

Such stature, such capability.

For a moment, everyone's gaze could not help but carry a hint of respect.

Most of these Spirit Beasts were elites within their clans, but they previously lacked the ability to rescue them.

The young are the hope for a clan's future; although their strength was not yet high, given time, they would surely become overlords of a region.

Thinking of this, the patriarchs looked at Su Chen with much kinder eyes and separately led their own young back.

With the matter handled, the next day, the group set off in batches toward the Blood Bat Cave.

Led by the Earth Dragon Clan, the Dragon Race took the lead, the White Tigers followed closely behind, the Qingluan Clan watched for movements from the air, the Xuanshe Clan brought up the rear, and some smaller clans were interspersed among them, each performing different tasks.

Although they were Spirit Beasts, at this moment, they were as orderly as humans in their work.

Some walked for a full half-day's journey before finally arriving deep in the forest; what met their eyes was extremely eerie, and the surrounding trees had lost their leaves, with most left as only withered branches. (End of chapter)
