Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Leading the Way
Brother Cheng had no idea that a team already considered him their biggest competitor.
He was currently busy counting his spoils of war.
Next to him, Venerable Lin Ye’s mouth was nearly watering.
As an Evil Immortal, he was actually very familiar with the rules of the Celestial Palace.
He knew Jiang Cheng and the others had not only spoils but also extra Celestial Dao Points.
And Celestial Dao Points could be exchanged at the Celestial Palace for precious cultivation resources.
’If these things belonged to me, how great that would be.’
"Then I could confidently ascend to Celestial Venerable."
Such thoughts continuously spun around in his head.
As a professional Evil Immortal, greed inevitably grew within him.
Jiang Cheng was strong and dangerous.
But in his eyes, he was also a super fat lamb, a walking treasure vault.
Crisis and opportunity coexisted.
And it was at this moment that he received a summon from Sect Leader Jiang.
"Can you still contact other Evil Immortals?"
Looking at his expectant expression, Venerable Lin Ye really wanted to scoff.
What the hell, you’re not satisfied yet?
But outwardly, he could only reply submissively, "I’ve contacted everyone I know, but I really can’t reach anyone else..."
Brother Cheng’s face immediately darkened.
"That’s all there is?"
Venerable Lin Ye really wanted to spit at him.
Are you kidding me? You just took down over three hundred!
With just that one move of yours, my friend list suddenly turned all gray!
"Cough! I really can’t call anyone else, if I could, I would have already."
He made a dejected face, feeling ashamed for the first time because he couldn’t rally more people.
Brother Cheng squinted his eyes.
"So you’re saying, you’re useless now?"
Back in the Ice Realm, he would summon people until there weren’t any left to call.
Venerable Lin Ye looked at his unfriendly expression, feeling a chill in his heart.
Damn, this guy isn’t planning to kill the donkey after it’s done plowing, right?
You’re too straightforward!
Who exactly is the Evil Immortal here?
"No, no, no, I still have uses..."
He didn’t want to die and quickly thought of a solution.
"Right, I may not be able to contact some Evil Immortals, but I know their locations!"
"If you’re willing, I can lead the way!"
Brother Cheng’s face immediately brightened.
"Why didn’t you say so sooner!"
He smiled and patted Venerable Lin Ye’s shoulder, "I knew you wouldn’t let me down!"
Venerable Lin Ye was on the verge of collapsing under his antics.
Internally, he muttered, of course, I won’t let you down.
I’ll soon lead you to the Celestial Venerable and watch how you die!
Their conversation was not concealed from others, and Lai Ping and others heard it all clearly.
"Captain, don’t do this!"
They had advised Brother Cheng countless times to be more cautious.
"This is too dangerous; he must be plotting something!"
"Venerable Lin Ye’s ambitious nature was already exposed before..."
"Letting him lead the way, he’ll surely lead us to a dead end; we absolutely can’t keep him!"
Zhong Man said murderously, "I propose we execute him ahead of time!"
She wanted to take action herself, but the problem was, she was at the Emperor Realm First Layer.
Even if Venerable Lin Ye stood still for her to attack, she couldn’t break his defense.
And how could Brother Cheng bear to kill such a valuable guide?
"I believe in him!"
He waved his hand, "Lead the way ahead!"
Venerable Lin Ye nodded and bowed.
"Alright!"
Then he led this eccentric team towards an Evil Immortal Celestial Venerable’s lair.
Meanwhile, Venerable Kun Liu, in search of the ’First Handsome Team,’ also entered the Evil Immortal’s territory.
He had no choice.
If he didn’t find them, the higher-level Daoist Venerables would let him know what misery really was.
Once in the Evil Immortal’s domain, he had to restrain his aura and choose to stealthily traverse the mountain forest below.
There’s no way around it, even a Supreme doesn’t have the privilege to strut around openly.
Once alerted by the enemy’s Supreme, what awaits might be a Supreme plus a swarm of Celestial Venerables attacking as a group.
Being fallen isn’t impossible.
"Damn it, where did that team run off to?"
"How did they achieve such results?"
"Is that Jiang Cheng really a Supreme?"
He cursed while searching.
And shortly after, he encountered the enemy.
Meanwhile, the Emperor Yuan Team’s five members also crossed the boundary into the Evil Immortal’s turf.
Not long after, just like Venerable Kun Liu, they encountered other Evil Immortals.
A fierce battle soon erupted.
A Supreme carries the unique pressure and origin aura of this level.
No matter how they conceal it, it can’t escape the detection of hidden warning restrictions and Immortal Arrays.
Upon learning of a Supreme’s arrival, all the senior figures of the Evil Immortals were furious.
"The opposing Yunzhao War Zone dispatched a Supreme, at least two."
"We received reports previously of hundreds of our people killed; it seems they are responsible!"
"Damn Yunzhao War Zone, they dare to actively kill their way over?"
"Are they trying to provoke us?"
"We can’t let them go!"
Suddenly, the Evil Immortal camp was in chaos, and several Supreme-level experts were dispatched.
They were determined to eliminate Venerable Kun Liu and Venerable Feng Chen.
The true culprit, Sect Leader Jiang, because of his low realm, wasn’t detected by the warning Immortal Arrays and restrictions, thus he went unnoticed.
Interestingly, he wasn’t targeted.
It must be said, this was something regrettable for all three parties.
At this moment, he had been led to a sinister and frightening valley.
Upon entering, dark array lights surrounded the area.
Without giving Lai Ping and others time to cry out, a thick, sticky force surrounded them like a swamp.
Compared to a real swamp, the black array lights were more pervasive.
Not only their Immortal Bodies, but even their blood and Immortal Power inside gradually became sticky.
Zhong Man and Meng Shi, with the lowest realms, lost all ability to move the moment the array activated.
They couldn’t even open their mouths to speak.
With terrified faces, they struggled desperately, but it was useless.
Instead, they became more tightly bound by the ’black swamp.’
Soon, Bian Xiu and Lai Ping also lost all ability to move, becoming helpless victims.
"No..."
"It’s over..."
They could only utter these few words before their expressions filled with terror.
Even Venerable Lin Ye was shrouded in black mist.
Though he could still move, it felt like being stuck in mud, his condition was severely affected.
"Three Celestial Venerables, we’re on the same side!"
"We’re on the same side!"
"Why are you attacking even me?"
He didn’t dare draw his weapon, fearing the valley’s owner would mistake him for an enemy and kill him.
Just as his voice fell, an eerie laughter echoed around the great array.
"Hehehe, on the same side?"
"When have we Evil Immortals ever had ’allies’?"
The voice suddenly came from the left, then the right, unpredictable.
Finally, the figures of three elderly men with almost identical appearances slowly emerged from the left, center, and right.
