Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Two Teams Encounter Each Other
Upon hearing the words "Emperor Yuan Team," Lai Ping, Bian Xiu, and the others all showed expressions of shock and joy.
"Emperor Yuan Team?"
"Could it be the team from Emperor Yuan Dao Field?"
"Oh my heavens, to think I could see an immortal from an Emperor-level Dojo in my lifetime!"
"Yes, yes, we are also from the Yunzhao War Zone."
Their excitement and admiration were written all over their faces.
This made Brother Cheng secretly curl his lips.
So, it turns out your usual flattery isn’t just for my unique skills but because you’d do this for any big shot you see?
The five members of the opposing Emperor Yuan Team, however, wore expressions of indifference.
They were accustomed to these kinds of "fans."
Celestial Venerable Juangling looked displeased.
He coldly asked, "Why is there an Evil Immortal in your team?"
"Are you colluding with the Evil Immortals?"
Seeing the big shot had a questioning intent, Lai Ping and the others quickly waved their hands.
"No, no, this Evil Immortal is our guide."
"We came over here to slay the Evil Immortals."
"Slay the Evil Immortals?"
Pu-chih!
Celestial Venerable Yun Han laughed out loud.
"With your team, surviving is already a miracle."
"And you’re thinking of slaying Evil Immortals?"
"By the way, how did you manage to walk here alive?"
"Why would this Evil Immortal act as your guide?"
Lai Ping and the others quickly pointed to Sect Leader Jiang.
They began a grand introduction.
"All thanks to our great and handsome captain!"
"That’s right, Captain Jiang’s divine might is unparallelled. He led us easily through any obstacle."
"This Evil Immortal was subdued by the wise Captain Jiang."
"Oh, forgot to mention, our Captain Jiang is a top-tier talent from King Jia’s Dojo!"
As they spoke, they felt a surge of pride.
As if having Brother Cheng from a King-level Dojo increased their prestige.
And Sect Leader Jiang felt deeply gratified.
Not bad, not bad, these teammates still have some conscience, knowing who led them all this way.
"Jiang Cheng?"
The name was unfamiliar; the opposing members had never heard of it.
Celestial Venerable Juangling smirked at their almost god-like introduction.
"What King Jia’s Dojo."
"It seems King-level Dojos are declining; even an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer mid-stage can enter the Upper Court?"
He glanced at the other members.
"In our Emperor-level Dojos, no matter how talented, an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer would only make it to the Lower Court, right?"
Celestial Venerable Huo Wen shrugged: "Emperor-level and King-level cannot be compared; they’re not on the same tier."
"That’s not true!"
Even though facing an Emperor-level team, Lai Ping couldn’t help but stand up and support Brother Cheng.
"Our Captain Jiang is different from others, a peerless genius. To him, challenging above his level is as easy as eating and drinking..."
Before he could finish, Celestial Venerable Juangling interrupted.
"Alright, alright, as if we can’t challenge above our level."
"Peerless, what a frog in a well..."
"Enough, enough, say no more."
Celestial Venerable Wu Jin pushed him aside.
He then cupped his hands towards Jiang Cheng.
"So you’re all fellow dojo practitioners, nice to meet you."
His manner was flawless, at least outwardly polite.
He even ’kindly’ advised Sect Leader Jiang: "This is the heart of the Evil Immortal Realm, full of dangers. You’d best head back soon."
"Moreover, though I don’t know why this Evil Immortal is willing to guide you..."
"Evil Immortals are notoriously treacherous and untrustworthy, best to kill them early!"
Venerable Lin Ye hearing this, showed no sign of worry.
As long as he could continuously lead them to other Evil Immortals, this guy definitely wouldn’t kill him.
For sure.
And Sect Leader Jiang didn’t disappoint him.
He also cupped his hands towards Celestial Venerable Wu Jin.
"At least you know how to handle people..."
The implication being, the other team members aren’t that great.
Celestial Venerable Juangling was infuriated.
"What did you just say, boy!"
Brother Cheng merely glanced at him: "No need for your concern over our team’s affairs."
"Thought that Emperor-level Dojos were all elites, didn’t expect... tsk tsk."
With that, he waved his hand, leading his teammates and Venerable Lin Ye away.
Those left behind looked at each other in dismay.
Celestial Venerable Juangling was stunned for a moment before realizing he’d been insulted.
He erupted in furious roars.
"Who does he think he is! A mere King-level Dojo participant dares to look down on us?"
"If we weren’t in the same faction, I’d teach him a lesson!"
Celestial Venerable Huo Wen wore a similarly angry expression.
"What nerve, what arrogance!"
"I bet their team won’t last half an hour!"
Yet Celestial Venerable Wu Jin slightly shook his head.
"This team seems strange, not as simple as they seem."
Venerable Feng Chen also fell into thought.
"This team showing up here doesn’t make sense."
"Any random Evil Immortal squad could wipe them out, yet they’re alive."
Celestial Venerable Juangling scoffed: "The other four are clearly weaklings, only Jiang Cheng has potential."
"Even if he’s hiding some power, has some cards up his sleeve, how strong can he be?"
"Can he defeat two or three Venerables, fight on par with Celestial Venerables?"
Celestial Venerable Wu Jin calmly said: "But they can command an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Evil Immortal."
"Without Celestial Venerable level strength, it’s impossible to achieve this."
"This team is definitely peculiar."
Celestial Venerable Yun Han giggled: "Could they be that First Handsome Team?"
This sentence was clearly a joke.
The others laughed along.
"If they’re the First Handsome Team, then we’re the rulers of the Celestial Palace."
"Right, the First Handsome Team has several Supremes, unlike them."
Celestial Venerable Juangling exclaimed exaggeratedly: "If we’re left behind by such a team, might as well die, living would be shameful."
Even Celestial Venerable Wu Jin shook his head in laughter at this.
He too thought this joke was too far-fetched.
Indeed, no matter how amazing that team seemed, at most, they were barely surviving.
That’s already great enough.
Impossible to be the First Handsome Team, their biggest rival.
Similarly, Brother Cheng’s team was also venting.
"What’s with the Emperor-level Dojo, just so-so!"
Lai Ping and Bian Xiu Zhong Man, who initially admired the Emperor Yuan Team, now had a complete change of heart.
"Used to admire them, but now they seem superficial."
"Exactly, how dare they underestimate our Captain Jiang."
"Blind fools, just that!"
They didn’t realize a Supreme had already set eyes on their team.
