Chapter 172: Yan Beihan, the Alliance Leader of Ai Lu
Chapter 172: Yan Beihan, the Alliance Leader of Ai Lu
The Water Cloud Heaven Fruit, many people have heard of it, but no one took it seriously.
After all, the majority of the strange objects recorded in the "Earth Star Strange Objects Chronicle" are things that most people in the world have never seen.
So, whether this Heaven Man Fruit truly exists or is just a fabricated lie, everyone just takes it as a joke.
And the "Earth Star Strange Objects Chronicle" is usually just something for people to pass the time; when drinking, they might brag about it—but in reality, no one truly believes in its existence.
However, as soon as Fang Che saw this Water Cloud, he immediately knew that this thing, in this mortal world, actually exists!
Evidently, the group of people below were all well-traveled and knowledgeable.
They had also recognized it.
Fang Che focused his mind and descended ten zhang, hiding himself in the grass.
Looking up, he saw a white cloud, and within it, a flower with a simple yet elegant bloom, quietly unfolding its petals.
It wasn't dazzlingly beautiful, but it was refined and pure, each petal imbued with sacred power, and each stamen filled with vitality.
Fang Che heaved a sigh of relief.
It hadn't borne fruit yet.
There was still time.
He quietly hid himself and observed the three groups below.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the flower in the air, and no one was interested in looking for others on the mountain.
Moreover, with over a thousand people gathered from the three groups, who would dare to take advantage under the watchful eyes of so many strong cultivators?
And this flower was right in the middle, not leaning towards any side of the mountain wall. Even if it were a Celestial... it would be impossible to just reach out and take it under these circumstances.
Below, the three groups of people.
The leaders of one group were two towering men, their stature almost reminding Fang Che of Mo Gaiyun, standing at a height of over two meters.
Although they were slightly shorter than Mo Gaiyun by less than twenty centimeters, they would still stand out like a crane among chickens in a normal crowd.
These two men looked similar, apparently a pair of brothers.
Judging by the aura surrounding them, they should be General Eight and Nine-level figures.
The leader of another group was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin mustache and a slender build.
But the leader of the third group surprised Fang Che, leaving him astounded.
The leader of this group turned out to be the white-clad woman who had fought him yesterday, her face contorted with ferocity.
At this moment, she had over three hundred people behind her.
Fang Che almost popped his eyes out.
Wasn't this woman always a lone wolf? How did she suddenly gather so many people? How did she manage it? Could it be that yesterday's mention of an alliance reminded this woman?
This damn...
Fang Che couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
How am I supposed to get the spatial ring now?
At this moment, the battle in the arena had ended.
The mustached man's side had lost, and the loser lay dead on the ground, while the winner's Five Spirit Toad was absorbing his essence.
Then the Five Spirit Toad flew back.
The winner returned to the white-clad woman's side, clearly indicating that they were her people.
Disappointment flashed in the mustached man's eyes, and he spoke in a low voice, "My brother, Wang Fei of the Three Mountains Sect, has died in battle. I am Jiang Shangyun, the Moon God Sect Master Jiang Yihe. I swear to the Heavenly Scorpion that if I survive and leave this place, I will offer cultivation resources to my family. If I die here in this plan, all my possessions will be divided among the living members of the Moon God Sect. This is my oath for those who fought and died for me today."
Fang Che couldn't help but scoff inwardly, a bunch of demon heads making vows here to gain trust.
But he also knew that swearing to the Heavenly Scorpion was the most solemn oath in the Only Me Sect.
The people behind Jiang Shangyun remained calm.
Apparently, Jiang Shangyun's identity as the 'Moon God Sect Master' carried weight.
On the other side, the two towering men also stepped forward and swore, "I am Lei Jiu Xiao, Lei Jiutian, son of the Flame God Sect Master Lei Miewu. I swear to the Heavenly Scorpion..."
Clearly, these leaders had made promises and were willing to pay any price to gain the support of their followers.
Only then would they be willing to fight for him.
And these followers also had their own motives: if they won, they could consume the essence, gain unexpected wealth, and find an ally for the future.
If they lost... well, they had come prepared to fight.
Everyone was here to take a risk.
Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and lost in danger; gained in one-tenth, lost in nine-tenths.
But that one-tenth is precisely what I seek!
On the white-clad woman's side, her voice was crisp like the sound of ice cracking, "Brothers and sisters from the headquarters know me, Yan Beihan. I don't need to swear, trust me, and I won't let you down."
Yan Beihan.
Fang Che secretly remembered this name.
In his past life, he had limited experiences and only vaguely remembered a legend about the Only Me Sect having a deputy leader with the surname Yan, like a wild goose.
At that time, his fellow brothers joked about catching and eating that wild goose.
But everyone knew it was just a joke, the deputy leader of the Only Me Sect was not someone a Marquis-level person could covet!
And this Yan Beihan was likely a descendant of that deputy leader.
As expected, when Yan Beihan spoke, the people behind her remained calm.
Clearly, she had a lot of trust.
Lei Jiu Tian bitterly smiled and said, "Lady Yan, the Headquarters has countless treasures. Why go to such lengths to compete with us, these downtrodden sub-sects? With your status, what can you not obtain?"
Yan Beihan replied, "The Water Cloud Heaven Fruit is no ordinary item. Lei Jiu Tian, I won’t make it hard for you. As long as you swear to the heavens on behalf of your father that your Flame Demon Sect will give me one Water Cloud Heaven Fruit after we leave, I will immediately withdraw from the competition. Dare you do it?"
Lei Jiu Tian’s face was a picture of wryness.
He truly didn’t dare.
The Water Cloud Heaven Fruit was something only heard of in legends; even his father had never seen one.
This might be the only one he would ever see in his life.
How could he make such a promise?
"Enough nonsense. After that chaotic battle, we formed alliances, and only two out of the ten agreed battles have passed. Let’s continue."
Yan Beihan said coolly, "After the ten battles are over and the ownership of the spirit fruit is decided, we will start the competition for the puppets to divinity. Before that, if anyone breaks the rules, don’t blame me, Yan Beihan, for using my family’s power to bully you!"
Hearing this, Fang Che understood.
No wonder these demon brats were following the rules so strictly; it was because this woman was using her authority to control everyone!
Looking at the new arrivals, many clearly wanted to join Yan Beihan’s side.
But after asking, she rejected anyone who wasn’t from the Only Me Sect Headquarters!
"Damn… This is pure bullying, yet she still puts on a facade of fairness."
Fang Che sighed.
"Damn, even the Only Me Sect people bully others with their power… I thought it was all about strength. This just makes my impression of the demon sects even worse… Corruption!"
The battle had already resumed in the arena.
This time, the loser, which was the Moon Demon Sect, sent someone to fight against the Flame Demon Sect.
Both sides were evenly matched.
However, the Moon Demon Sect used many tricks, combining poisons, shadow weapons, and hidden reserves, suddenly killing the Flame Demon Sect’s General Rank opponent despite the even odds.
The Moon Demon Sect won back a round.
Now, the Headquarters had two wins, the Moon Demon Sect one win and one loss, and the Flame Demon Sect two losses.
It was now the Flame Demon Sect’s turn to send someone to challenge the Headquarters.
Fang Che watched with great interest.
The floral fragrance in the air grew increasingly rich. The thousands of people present, upon smelling the fragrance, felt their divine souls relax, and their mental strength subtly increased.
Even the little sprite within Fang Che’s divine metal couldn’t resist the temptation and boldly came out to absorb the floral fragrance above Fang Che’s head, invisible to all.
The various demon leaders watching the battle also didn’t just observe; they conversed with each other within their camps.
They got to know each other.
Although they would still fight to the death when they parted ways, no one would show mercy.
This was a characteristic of the Incubation to Divinity Program; it didn’t affect their future interactions in the world.
Each person here, who could participate in the Incubation to Divinity Program, would become top-notch connections after they left.
Moreover, in such a program, it was rare to have such an equal and safe environment for networking. Why not seize the opportunity?
So, they were all busy.
After all, I’m just here to participate in a camp. I won’t be chosen for the battles. Those are mostly General Eight and Nine using this opportunity to harvest the Five Spirit Toads.
We, the General Five and Six, might as well take a break.
As for the General Three and Four… First, there are few of them, and second, unless they have particularly good luck, they would have already died by now.
After a fierce battle, the Flame Demon Sect managed a narrow victory.
Although they didn’t kill the opponent, winning was still winning.
The Headquarters’ General Rank looked utterly ashamed, almost to the point of committing suicide on the spot, which everyone could see.
As a Headquarters General Rank, he was defeated by a subordinate sect’s General Rank of the same rank!
Tsk!
Yan Beihan looked at him coldly, "Which department are you from?"
The General Rank took a deep breath and said with a ashamed face, "I am from the Law Enforcement Platform."
"A fine character from Bei Mingxin’s teaching!"
Yan Beihan snorted and said no more.
The man from the Law Enforcement Platform bowed his head in shame, returned to the ranks with his injuries, and seeing the unfriendly faces, apologized and left the valley alone.
Some of the others, seeing no advantage here, discussed among themselves and sneakily went to the valley entrance.
Soon, the sound of battle came from the valley entrance.
Clearly, they had formed a temporary team to intercept and kill the incoming General Ranks.
It’s worth noting that this opened a new perspective: Since the benefits here don’t reach us, why not go out and rob?
After all, this place is like a pile of dung attracting countless flies. there’s no shortage of people coming to be killed.
Then, suddenly, the sounds of battles and skirmishes could be heard from all sides around the valley.
On the contrary, the number of people inside the valley decreased.
Lei Jiu Xiao, Jiang Shangyun, and others looked at the groups constantly going out to intercept and kill with disdain in their eyes.
The opportunity is there.
If you can’t seize it, don’t blame us.
