191: Chapter 191: The three parties secretly form an alliance; the barrier dissipates, and everyone enters!

Deep in the night, outside Broken Valley.

The Red Flood Dragon Royal Family camp.

Jiao Sha sat in the primary seat of the main tent.

Three scouts knelt below him, their bodies pressed low to the ground.

"Young Lord, your subordinates are incompetent."

The scout in the middle spoke up to report, "That Jiang Han and You Yue set up a sound-isolating Restriction in the mountain stream. We were unable to get close and failed to overhear their conversation."

"Useless!"

Jiao Sha stood up and pointed at the three, cursing loudly, "You didn't even bring back a single sentence! What use are you!"

The scouts pressed their bodies against the floor and continued to speak, "Young Lord, please appease your anger!"

"Forget it, get out."

Jiao Sha waved them off.

The three scouts felt like they had been granted a general amnesty and hurriedly backed out of the tent.

Jiao Sha stood up and walked outside, looking toward the Silver Moon Fox Clan's base.

That You Yue, as the Princess of the Silver Moon Fox Clan, was meeting Jiang Han so covertly; she definitely wasn't up to any good.

It was possible they had already reached some sort of cooperation.

Elder Ku Mu stepped forward from a corner. "Young Lord."

"If they truly have allied, and with the Holy Son of Taichu and his group involved, it will likely be difficult for us to seize the demon emperor bell."

Jiao Sha snorted coldly. "That bitch You Yue wants to swallow the demon emperor bell all for herself? She doesn't have the stomach for it."

He directly sent a voice transmission to Tang Ming of the Heavenly Wolf Royal Clan and the Black Tortoise Royal Clan.

"Tang Ming, old turtle."

Jiao Sha spoke, "That bitch You Yue secretly met with Jiang Han earlier. Your people should have seen it too."

Inside the Heavenly Wolf Royal Clan camp.

Tang Ming opened his eyes and responded via voice transmission as well.

"I don't give a damn what they're planning. Whoever dares to stop me from getting the demon emperor bell, I'll hack them down."

Inside the Black Tortoise Royal Clan camp.

Bubbles continuously rose from four mud pits. "The Holy Son of Taichu is not easy to deal with. Add in the Jade Lake and the Great Desolate Ancient Clan—if we each fight for ourselves, it will be hard to succeed."

Jiao Sha paced within his tent.

"So, we might as well join forces."

Jiao Sha transmitted.

"When the demon emperor bell emerges, all four royal clans will want it. If our three families join forces, we can kick You Yue out of the game first. Even with Jiang Han's help, they won't be able to stir up much trouble."

Jiao Sha proposed his plan.

"Joining forces is fine."

Tang Ming transmitted, "After kicking out the Silver Foxes, who does the demon emperor bell belong to?"

Jiao Sha stopped walking.

"Once we've driven them out, our three families will fight for it based on our own abilities. If what emerges in the end isn't the demon emperor bell, we'll withdraw. How about it?"

"Acceptable."

Tang Ming also responded, "Fine! Let's do it that way. I've been annoyed with that fox for a long time anyway!"

Jiao Sha laughed. "In that case, it's a deal."

Through a brief exchange of voice transmissions, the three factions finalized their secret alliance.

Over the next few days, it was unusually quiet outside Broken Valley.

The various royal clans held their ground in their respective territories. No demonic cultivators went out to cause trouble; everyone was waiting for the moment the barrier broke.

Jiang Han remained sitting cross-legged on the open ground in front.

Luo Qingli sat by his side, chatting idly with Jiang Han every day.

He Lielie, on the other hand, walked around the area every day.

He would stop from time to time and, from a distance of dozens of yards, mutter incessantly toward the Silver Moon Fox Clan's direction.

Within the Silver Moon Fox Clan's camp.

You Yue sat upright on a rock with her eyes tightly closed, completely ignoring He Lielie's provocations.

Time trickled by.

On the sky-reaching Law barrier spanning the front of Broken Valley, the speed of spiritual energy flow became slower and slower.

Array patterns dimmed one after another.

The light curtain became extremely thin, and some of the terrain outlines inside Broken Valley could already be seen clearly.

Another three days passed.

A cracking sound echoed through the valley.

This caused all the demonic cultivators present to stand up in unison.

Jiang Han and Luo Qingli also stood straight at this time, turning their heads to look at the light curtain.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the light curtain that connected heaven and earth, then spread rapidly.

Bang!

The barrier exploded in mid-air, and countless tiny spots of light fell downward.

Following the shattering of the barrier, an extremely strong Demonic Qi gushed out from the depths of Broken Valley.

A demonic gale rose, sweeping across the field.

The Demonic Qi soared into the sky, crashing directly into the clouds high above.

The sky was suddenly covered by black clouds.

Within the rolling black clouds.

An incredibly massive phantom of an ancient bell slowly manifested among the clouds!

Demonic totems appeared on the surface of the ancient bell, and its pressure spread down from the bell's body, enveloping a thousand-mile radius!

This was followed by the sound of a bell tolling.

When the demonic cultivators of the four royal clans heard this tolling, the demonic blood in their bodies instantly began to boil.

Some weaker demonic guards even knelt directly on the ground, trembling all over as they prostrated themselves on the spot.

"It's the demon emperor bell!"

Elder Ku Mu withstood the pressure, staring at the phantom in the void with a fanatical expression.

"There's no mistake! This is the aura of the ancestor's Law!" an elder of the Black Tortoise Clan shouted.

The camps of the four royal clans were instantly thrown into a frenzy.

You Yue stood in the gale, turned her head, and looked past the crowd toward Jiang Han not far away.

Jiang Han was looking at the ancient bell phantom in mid-air. Sensing You Yue's gaze, he turned his head and gave her a slight nod.

You Yue nodded back in response.

Jiao Sha looked at the phantom in the clouds. "Elders! Take the men and charge with me!"

The Heavenly Wolf Clan, Black Tortoise Clan, and Silver Moon Fox Clan did the same, signaling their subordinates to enter.

Just as the various parties began to advance into the valley, Jiao Sha suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, his gaze quickly scanning through the Red Flood Dragon Clan's ranks behind him.

After searching twice, he found that one person was missing.

That human kid who had led the way before, Luo Yi.

Jiao Sha grabbed a nearby guard by the collar and lifted him up. "Where is that Luo Yi?!"

The guard's face turned red from being throttled, his feet kicking wildly in the air.

"Young... Young Lord."

The guard spoke intermittently, "I don't know... He was still in the tent yesterday. Just now, when the barrier broke, he was gone."

Jiao Sha threw the guard to the ground.

He remembered the Spirit Blood Secret Art Luo Yi had used to lead the way.

That kid could accurately track the location of the demon emperor bell, and now he had vanished just as the barrier opened.

Could it be that he had already figured out the situation inside and gone ahead to find the treasure first?

That bastard actually wanted to use his Red Flood Dragon Royal Family as a shield while he went to steal the demon emperor bell?!

Jiao Sha was furious. "Luo Yi! How dare you play me!"

Power surged from his feet, his aura roiling as he directly bypassed the ranks ahead and charged to the very front.

"Pursue!" Jiao Sha roared.

"Find that Luo Yi for me! Kill him on sight!"

Elders Ku Mu and Lie Shi exchanged a glance and immediately led the Red Flood Dragon Guards forward.

Seeing this, Tang Ming spat.

"Want to get there first? No way!"

Tang Ming gripped his Mountain-Cleaving Heavy Axe with both hands, leaped into the air, and crashed into the entrance of Broken Valley.

The Heavenly Wolf Guards followed closely behind.

The four from the Black Tortoise Clan no longer hid themselves either. Their forms expanded greatly as they moved their limbs, rumbling as they crushed their way into Broken Valley.

In an instant, only Jiang Han's group remained in front of Broken Valley.

"Holy Son Jiang, what are we waiting for!" He Lielie was impatient.

Jiang Han looked at the rolling Demonic Qi.

He reached out and took Luo Qingli's hand.

"Let's go," Jiang Han said.

Jiang Han took a step forward, disappearing from the spot with Luo Qingli.

The Grand Elder immediately followed with Qiu Shui.

He Lielie gave a loud shout and also led the experts of the Great Desolate Ancient Clan, charging into the depths of Broken Valley enveloped in Demonic Qi.
