Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Venerable Jingding’s Deep Regret
In the Yunzhao War Zone, many people still follow the ranking updates of the ’First Handsome Team’.
"230,000 points, still in third place, their Celestial Dao Points are increasing much slower now."
"The last increase was several hours ago."
"Looks like this team has reached its limit."
"That’s right, teams that rise suddenly will soon be targeted by expert Evil Immortals."
"Even if led by a Supreme, they wouldn’t be able to fight smoothly all the way through."
As people were discussing their insights, the points leaderboard in the war zone suddenly shifted dramatically.
The four characters of the First Handsome Team’s name suddenly flashed with gold light and then disappeared from their original position.
When it reappeared, it had already reached the highest spot on the leaderboard.
"First place!"
Many people screamed on the spot.
"480,000 points!"
"Damn, that was a 250,000 increase just now? How did they do it?"
"Did they kill several Celestial Venerables?"
"Evil Immortal’s Celestial Venerables are incredibly cunning, even a Supreme might not manage to kill one."
"Rising to first place in one swoop, this First Handsome Team truly lives up to its name!"
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat..."
"I thought they were done, but turns out they were just holding back for a big one."
Amidst the heated discussions around him, Captain Ba Yun Venerable Jingding felt quite discontented.
He instinctively didn’t want to admit that the First Handsome Team was the one he had encountered before.
However, various coincidences kept reminding him that there couldn’t be another team besides this one named ’First Handsome Team’.
It’s said that no one knows the origins of the ’First Handsome Team’ till now.
Which shows that this team didn’t take any missions, rather they were acting independently.
This fits Jiang Cheng perfectly.
But, how did he do it?
Venerable Jingding tried all he could to understand.
Now all he could feel was regret, his intestines twisted with regret.
Jiang Cheng had once recruited people at the hall.
But back then, those above the Emperor Realm Seventh Layer were not willing to join.
Had he known that kid was so powerful, he would have surely stuck with him back then.
Even if it meant disbanding his own team!
Thinking about how the remaining four people in that team are just weaklings in the Emperor Realm First and Third Layer, yet each one has gained over 9,000 Celestial Dao Points following Jiang Cheng, his heart bled.
That’s 9,000 Celestial Dao Points!
He had completed many missions before, and although he once managed to gather 100,000 points at most, that was through the joint efforts of over 30 people in the team.
He didn’t get much of it.
9,000, he personally never attained that number.
"Why didn’t you say it earlier!"
"Had you said it earlier I’d have kicked the team down to just three members and invited you to be the captain!"
His lamentations were unheard by Brother Cheng.
As for Venerable Jingding’s regrets, there was another team even more displeased.
That was the former top team of the Yunzhao War Zone—the Emperor Yuan Team.
Just the mention of this team’s name was enough to make other Immortals put on an expression of awe.
Well, that is except for the lacking-in-common-sense Sect Leader Jiang.
The Emperor Yuan Team comes from the Emperor Yuan Dao Field, the highest level of Emperor-level Dojo, a place many Immortals couldn’t even dream to reach.
Even Eighth and Ninth Grade Immortal Officials, upon entering the Emperor-level Dojo, must maintain enough respect.
This Emperor Yuan Team was composed of three Celestial Venerable Upper Court Immortals and two Daoist Field Stewards.
Among the two Daoist Field Stewards, one was also a Celestial Venerable, and the other a Supreme.
It’s certain that they’d be Immortal Officials in the future, their presence in the frontline war zone was merely for training.
By the way... to claim the top spot in the war zone leaderboard and polish their resume.
Though they were only five people, in the face of such a lineup, traditional strong teams like Ba Yun Team could only be considered as scraps.
Emperor Yuan Team had only been in the Yunzhao War Zone for seven millennia but had already accumulated 450,000 points, smoothly claiming the top position.
Meanwhile, they had left the second place a whole 100,000 points behind.
With such achievements, other teams could do nothing but admire in awe, barely able to feel jealousy.
Yet now, within just one day, they had been surpassed glamorously by the ’First Handsome Team’.
"What are this team’s origins?"
Celestial Venerable Juangling of the Emperor Yuan Team wrinkled his brow, his handsome face filled with annoyance.
"Where did they pop out from?"
"Could it be... a mistake from the war zone?"
Opposite him, Celestial Venerable Yun Han gently brushed her hair, her dress flowing like water ripples, her melodious voice like a spring.
"We’ve dealt with Evil Immortals before and know their cunning danger."
"Even an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Evil Immortal isn’t so easy to kill, with shifting measures and fleeing at the hint of trouble..."
The team’s only Supreme, Feng Chen, gently stroked his beard and gave a slow nod.
"Indeed, defeating an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Evil Immortal isn’t difficult, but completely killing them often is."
"That they achieved such records within one day is truly baffling."
"Unless that team had more than two Supremes!"
Celestial Venerable Juangling waved his fist and eagerly concluded.
"Their team must have a lot of people, possibly as many as 100 members!"
Another Daoist Field Steward, Celestial Venerable Huo Wen, also heavily nodded.
"Yes, they’re probably just relying on numbers!"
"Perhaps their team is already half-dead."
Deep down they were reluctant to admit being legitimately surpassed.
They came from the Emperor-level Dojo, representing the Emperor level’s prestige.
A team from the Emperor-level Dojo being easily surpassed—where would their face be?
When they returned, they might even be mocked by other Dao Fields.
"This can’t continue!"
In the center of the four, the silent purple-robed young man finally stood.
He was also a Celestial Venerable, also an Upper Court Immortal.
But when he stood, the other four showed expressions of respect.
This was because he was the captain, Celestial Venerable Wu Jin.
In a team with Supremes, for a Celestial Venerable to be captain proves his extraordinary nature.
Contrasting Celestial Venerable Juangling and Celestial Venerable Huo Wen’s displeasure and dissatisfaction, this Emperor-level team captain seemed very calm.
"The glory of the Emperor-level Dojo cannot be tarnished and certainly shouldn’t be lost in our hands."
"We must personally regain the lost top position."
He gazed afar.
Towards the direction of the Evil Immortal camp.
"Whether they have over two Supremes or a team of hundreds, the fact is they surpassed us."
"Lost glory must be reclaimed through battle!"
His words incited fervor in the others.
They understood the captain’s intention—to go deep into the Evil Immortals’ side.
This was an extremely risky move.
The Celestial Peak Army from the Celestial Palace primarily focused on blocking lines, preventing Evil Immortal infiltration, rather than actively attacking.
If the Emperor Yuan Team ventured into Evil Immortals’ territory, they’d face isolation and unfavorable positions.
They might end up surrounded by an ocean of Evil Immortals until the moment they died in battle.
"We’ve been out for so long, it’s time to hone ourselves in Sword Mountain and Fire Sea."
"Only in absolute adversity can true limits be forced out!"
The glare of the team members also hardened resolutely.
