Armipotent

Chapter 2153: Still Small Fry (1)

Tang Shaoyang thought the cultivators of the Sacred Realm only declined a few System’s features and took advantage of the others to their advantage. He didn’t expect them to completely brush aside what the System could grant them.

He thought they might have developed something with their alchemy that was in line with the Regeneration Potion. But that might not be the case, judging from their reactions.

However, he could tell that these people might misunderstand that the regeneration potion might be related to the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s alchemy collection. Their hostility intensified, looking at him as if he were a treasure trove.

The supposed simple meeting became more chaotic than he expected. The Alliance Leader who invited the major factions to use them to test him out. Then Avyn, who did the unexpected, and Yan Xueyi, who dropped a bomb on the Murim Alliance as well, about the Thousand Vows Pavilion.

This was not how he expected to reveal the Thousand Vows Pavilion, but it didn’t matter anyway. Not that he had a grand plan with the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s revelation anyway.

”Bing Ruohan! What’s the meaning of this!?”

Alliance Leader Zhong was shocked by the revelation of the Thousand Vows Pavilion, but not so much by the regeneration hand. However, there was one thing that upset him the most. It was the realization that the Ice Palace left the Murim Alliance and joined hands with the Murim Alliance’s potential enemy.

He had some doubt about the Ice Palace at first, and it still made him angry even though he expected it. After all, he had been helping the Ice Palace ever since he took the Alliance Leader’s seat.

Bing Ruohan heard the question, yet her mind was still in her new hand. She looked at her newly regenerated hand, trying to feel it. There was a strange feeling when she looked at her new hand, but that was it. Just a feeling, everything else was fine.

She could not feel the difference between her new hand and her old hand. If not for the lingering pain and her old, bloody hand in front of her, she might think that she never lost her hand in the first place.

Bing Ruohan took a deep breath and then looked up. Avyn and Zara were standing next to Tang Shaoyang, but she didn’t dare to look at Avyn for too long. She then turned toward the Alliance Leader, who was furious.

Her appearance seemed to shock the people from the two sects and the four great families as well. That was written all over their faces. This meeting took a twisted turn, with the revelation of the Thousand Vows Pavilion as well as her sudden appearance before the Murim Alliance.

”That’s the reason for my visit today, Alliance Leader Zhong. I plan to talk about it with them, but this meeting takes a strange direction with them here.”

Them in her mouth were the four great families and the two sects, ”I...” She wanted to say something, but she was reminded of what just happened to her.

”Shut your mouth, Traitor!” The Ximen Family Head took the chance to fuel the fire. Sure, the Ice Palace’s appearance might make things harder for them to take down the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s successor, but it was possible with the Alliance Leader and the two sects on their sides.

”You betrayed the Murim Alliance in the moment of crisis. You betrayed us the moment we needed the Ice Palace the most! Yet you still dare to show your face in the Murim Alliance!?”

Ximen Qiwen turned toward the Alliance Leader, ”We must punish them, Alliance Leader. If we let them be after such a betrayal, the other sects will not hesitate to betray the Murim Alliance. The Murim Alliance will crumble if you let the Ice Palace’s betrayal remain unpunished, especially with our current situation with the Heaven Founder on us!”

”And the punishment for a traitor is death! We must destroy the Ice Palace and set them as an example to the others of what would happen to those who betrayed the Murim Alliance! We can’t let this slide, Alliance Leader!”

The other three family heads voiced their agreement while the two sects remained silent. They didn’t voice their agreement or disagreement, respecting the Alliance Leader’s decision regardless of what it was.

”You might think killing them is too cruel for a punishment, but considering our current situation with the Heaven Founder wanting to destroy the Murim Alliance, only death fits as punishment for the traitor. Or we might lose the trust of our people, especially considering the betrayal of the Dongfang Family. This is a disgrace for the Murim Alliance! We can’t let this matter rest, Alliance Leader!”

The discovery that the Ice Palace joined the Thousand Vows Pavilion didn’t deter the four great families. In fact, they used that fact as a justification to attack the Thousand Vows Pavilion. Adding one more justification to attack the Thousand Vows Pavilion.

As a force from the Orthodox Faction, they needed those excuses to keep up with their image. This revelation delighted the four great families at present.

The four family heads kept their expression neutral, but the people behind them could not hide their intention. They were staring at Tang Shaoyang as if he were their prey.

Tang Shaoyang was no longer being polite, using his Detection on the Venerable Monk, Kunlun Sect Leader, and the four family heads. They quickly realized that they were being probed.

Venerable Monk was at the 9th-Stage True God Realm, Kunlun Sect Leader was at 9th-Stage True God Realm, Ximen Family Head was at 8th-Stage True God Realm, Situ Family Head was at 8th-Stage True God Realm, Jaegal Family Head was at 9th-Stage True God Realm, and Murong Family Head was at 9th-Stage God Realm.

Venerable Monk and Kunlun Sect Leader, who tried to remain neutral, could no longer keep their composure at the rude probe. They showed their displeasure, yet said nothing.

The four great families exchanged glances for a moment. They seemed to reach a tacit agreement as the four family heads signaled their people to attack Tang Shaoyang. Killing intent and intense energy burst out altogether, creating a more chaotic atmosphere.
