Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”A mob of worthless individuals forming a useless alliance, and they dare speak such arrogance?”

The newcomer’s words were disrespectful, clearly indicating ill intentions.

”Who dares?”

Xiao Juanyun frowned, having anticipated that this alliance ceremony would not proceed smoothly. The inevitable had arrived.

”Hmph, people with no sense!”

Among the martial artists who appeared midway, a square-faced man sneered, his tone full of disdain as he arrogantly declared, ”My master is the Thunder Alliance Leader, Bu Jinglei!”

Within the Du Yue Heaven Palace, those ranked among the Ten Strongest generally had their own followers.

Moreover, the top three of the Ten Strongest each founded their own student alliances.

The Thunder Alliance is one such example.

”Bu Jinglei!”

”My heavens, the second among the Ten Strongest!”

The crowd felt a tremor in their hearts, their expressions dramatically changing as Xiao Juanyun’s face turned solemn, the gravity clearly reflected in his eyes.

The hostile tone from the other party indicated ominous intentions, not to mention he was the second-ranked among the Ten Strongest, possessing overwhelming power, leaving Xiao Juanyun no choice but to take this seriously.

Unexpectedly, as issues with the Eastern Alliance remained unresolved, the Thunder Alliance would unceremoniously intervene.

”Why hasn’t the Alliance Leader arrived yet?”

Xiao Juanyun anxiously pondered.

He was well aware of his limitations.

It’s safe to say that the very formation of the Lingyun Alliance relied solely on Ling Feng’s name.

Just yesterday, everything seemed well-planned, but who would have thought that Ling Feng, on such a significant day, would actually be late!

As the head Hall Master, he was truly exasperated to the extreme!

”With the Alliance Leader absent, we can only try to stabilize these people for the time being!”

Xiao Juanyun took a deep breath, knowing full well that with his limited capability, just a slap from Bu Jinglei could flatten him. If, in this circumstance, he, the Chief Hall Master, were to be humiliated publicly, the Lingyun Alliance’s reputation would be thoroughly ruined.

Yet, even now, Ling Feng hadn’t appeared. Xiao Juanyun knew Ling Feng was not one to break promises. If he was delayed, it was likely due to some unforeseen trouble preventing his timely arrival.

”Ha ha ha!”

Xiao Juanyun forced a smile, bowing to Bu Jinglei as he greeted, ”Today marks the founding ceremony of our Lingyun Alliance. Alliance Leader Bu honoring us with your grand presence is truly a great honor for us at Lingyun Manor, making our humble abode truly illustrious!”

The saying goes, never strike a smiling face. Even though Bu Jinglei’s intentions were hostile, with everyone watching, it’s not easy to just act recklessly.

”Heh heh!”

Bu Jinglei sneered lightly, saying indifferently, ”Hall Master Xiao, though I’ve never had dealings with your Lingfeng Alliance Leader, I’ve come today with a grand gift for your Lingyun Alliance’s establishment!”

As he spoke, Bu Jinglei clapped his hands, and a subordinate immediately pulled an impressively sized gift from a Spirit Storage Ring.

This ’congratulatory gift’ was wrapped in red cloth, making it unclear what it was.

The next moment, Bu Jinglei waved a large hand, unveiling the red silk to reveal a bronze bell!

This bell stood over a person tall. Bu Jinglei slapped the bronze bell twice, smiling as he said, ”How about it, this bronze bell has an antique quality, with a crisp and resonant sound. It’s definitely a quality item!”

In that instant, Xiao Juanyun’s expression darkened.

On such an auspicious day as an alliance ceremony, of all things, you bring something that symbolizes death?

The provocation was blatantly evident.

”Ha ha ha, Hall Master Xiao, what do you think of this gift? Are you satisfied?”

Bu Jinglei’s smile carried a mocking curve, with undisguised jocular ridicule on his face.

Numerous martial artists who had just joined the Lingyun Alliance felt indignant, and those who came to observe the ceremony saw this humiliation befalling the Lingyun Alliance and were surprised no one stood up against it, beginning to question what confidence this Lingyun Alliance truly had.

Just before, they kept clamoring about how no one could trample over the Lingyun Alliance, yet now that someone had come straight to their door, the Lingyun Alliance didn’t even utter a word?

”Outrageous!”

The first to lose patience was still Chu Chaonan.

Even though Chu Chaonan was a nominal Guest Elder, he couldn’t tolerate anyone acting so brazenly over him.

”Hmph, are you dissatisfied with this gift?”

Bu Jinglei coldly laughed, stepping forward and standing in place, ”I’m right here. Whoever is unhappy with me, come and defeat me! If anyone can beat me, I’ll eat this bell on the spot and offer one billion Contribution Points for the founding of the Lingyun Alliance!”

After a pause, Bu Jinglei continued, ”However, if no one can defeat me, it just proves that this so-called Lingyun Alliance is merely a group of worthless fools, a mere mob, trying to form some alliance! What a joke!”

Bu Jinglei showed no mercy, causing the members of the Lingyun Alliance to clench their fists tightly, seething with rage.

”Tch tch tch, this Bu Jinglei is really arrogant!”

”Of course he’s arrogant with that kind of strength! But where’s Ling Feng? Why hasn’t he shown up yet? Someone’s already on their doorstep, and as the Alliance Leader, he’s not addressing the issue?”

”Could it be that Ling Feng doesn’t actually care about the fate of the Lingyun Alliance? He didn’t show up when recruiting members before, and now it’s the same. It’s sad considering how they kept claiming joining the Lingyun Alliance would allow them to exchange martial arts insights with Ling Feng!”

”It’s all nonsense, all bullshit!”

For a time, seeing the Lingyun Alliance so weakened, everyone developed doubts about the alliance.

Even many members who had joined began to waver.

This so-called Lingyun Alliance wouldn’t just be an empty shell, a complete hoax, would it?

From afar, the Tie Family brothers frowned at this scene.

Tie Shanha said deeply, ”What’s going on? Why hasn’t Ling Feng come out yet? When he beat me up before, he wasn’t this slow!”

”Bu Jinglei is up to no good! If I guess correctly, Ling Feng is probably in trouble!”

Beside him, Tie Yan said calmly.

”Hmph, he deserves it!”

Zhuge Wan’er snorted softly. Out of curiosity, she too came to observe the Lingyun Alliance’s founding ceremony, noticing Bu Jinglei’s blatant provocation, yet Ling Feng still hadn’t appeared.

This wasn’t typical of Ling Feng.

Though Zhuge Wan’er verbally said Ling Feng deserved it, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried inside. Could something have really happened to Ling Feng?

In the next moment, Zhuge Wan’er quickly shook her head, spitting lightly as she murmured to herself: Ugh, why am I worried about that guy? What a waste of time!

...

In front of Lingyun Manor.

Bu Jinglei’s arrogant attitude immediately infuriated Chu Chaonan, who let out a cold snort and stepped forward.

In an instant, a fierce aura burst forth, glaring angrily at Bu Jinglei, ready to strike.

”Brother Chu!”

Xiao Juanyun hurriedly pressed Chu Chaonan’s shoulder, shaking his head at him.

Chu Chaonan was strong, but Bu Jinglei, as the second among the Ten Strongest, had reached an extremely profound level in the Sword Domain.

Bu Jinglei came with malicious intent, deliberately provoking the Lingyun Alliance members, aiming to trample them underfoot.

Especially at this moment, Ling Feng was absent.

If Chu Chaonan really engaged and got severely defeated by Bu Jinglei, the Lingyun Alliance’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

The best course now is to delay until Ling Feng’s arrival.
