124: Chapter 124 Acting on Behalf of Heaven

You must know that his status accounted for half of the reason he was able to become this temporary Alliance leader.

And the Shenxiao Sect was, after all, one of the top hundred Sects in the Eastern Territory.

At this moment, Lu Yunfei stood before the formation of tens of thousands of Disciples, raising his voice to speak passionately and boost morale, uttering nothing but platitudes like "Eliminate demons and defend the Dao" and "Act on behalf of Heaven."

After shouting, he subconsciously puffed out his chest and gazed ardently toward Qin Ruoxue in the ranks of the female Disciples, hoping to catch the beauty's attention.

However, Qin Ruoxue didn't even lift an eyelid from start to finish; she just stood quietly in the crowd, like an icy snow lotus untouched by the mundane world.

...

On the side of Tiansha Valley, they were equally filled with Killing Intent.

Although they had only assembled an army of twenty thousand, with only a thousand Core Disciples, their Aura was not the slightest bit inferior, and perhaps even stronger.

Especially the rows of neatly arranged Profound Rank peak-grade Battle Puppets, their entire bodies glistening with a grim metallic luster, eyes flickering with red light, emitting a cold and heart-palpitating murderous intent.

However, the leader on their side was a female Disciple.

The woman wore a long purple dress that tightly wrapped around her curvaceous, graceful figure, outlining breathtaking curves. Among the sea of purple-robed Disciples, that striking purple silhouette was exceptionally eye-catching.

She was the reserve Saintess of Tiansha Valley, Ye Liuli.

As a once-in-a-century supreme Genius of Tiansha Valley with a natural Fire Spirit Body, she acted with ruthlessness and eccentricity, making her an existence that all Core Disciples both respected and feared.

Just then, a male Disciple behind her saw such beautiful scenery and couldn't help but gulp.

Ye Liuli didn't even lift an eyelid; she merely flicked her fingertip lightly.

"Bang!"

The male Disciple was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward and rolling on the ground for a dozen turns before spitting out a large pool of blood.

Seeing this, all the surrounding Tiansha Valley Disciples instantly straightened their backs, silent as cicadas in winter.

Only then did Ye Liuli slowly turn around, her cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice, though not loud, clearly reached everyone's ears:

"Listen well. That piece of trash Li Cheng is a member of my Tiansha Valley. Only I can bully my people, and only I can kill them."

She paused, a curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

"That bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites touched my people and even dared to demand a ransom from us; that is simply not giving me, Ye Liuli, any Face."

"I don't care about some bullshit decisive battle. I only know that none of them will leave this Wanling Mountain alive."

"Move out, kill them all, and bring them back to be made into Human Puppets."

"Yes!"

Over twenty thousand Tiansha Valley Disciples cupped their fists in unison, their voices shaking the wilderness.

Subsequently, they leaped onto their respective Battle Puppets, opened the mechanisms, and climbed inside.

Rumble—

For a moment, twenty thousand steel behemoths glistening with cold metallic light took steps simultaneously. Their heavy footsteps shook the earth, and dust billowed, blotting out the sky.

This steel torrent converged into an unstoppable wave of destruction, surging toward the territory of the Righteous Alliance.

...

On the side of the Righteous Alliance, the army of fifty thousand, led by Lu Yunfei, was marching majestically toward the Tiansha Valley camp.

However, no one expected that just after both sides had marched less than a thousand miles from their respective camps, they would run into each other unexpectedly in an open valley.

The pupils of the Disciples in both camps shrank simultaneously.

The Tiansha Valley side was fine; following a screeching sound of metal grinding, the Battle Puppet army immediately formed a charge formation, a dark, oppressive mass that exuded immense pressure.

Conversely, on the side of the Righteous Alliance, when they saw that vast "steel army," many Disciples couldn't help but step backward, and the formation instantly showed signs of chaos.

Seeing that the battle hadn't even started yet, their own formation already showed signs of collapse. Qin Ruoxue frowned slightly; she had no choice but to step forward, her cold voice resounding across the field.

"Stabilize the formation!"

Lu Yunfei also mustered his courage to step out, shouting fiercely but cowardly.

"Everyone, don't panic! We have fifty thousand people! They only have a mere twenty thousand, what is there to fear! Everyone, take out your Magical Artifacts and Talismans!"

However, it would have been better if he hadn't said that; once he did, many Disciples felt even more panicked.

Fifty thousand people?

Those twenty thousand Battle Puppets of theirs, in terms of impact and defense, which one isn't stronger than flesh and blood?

If you really calculate it, the combat power on their side is likely even stronger than our fifty thousand!

At this moment, everyone regretted choosing a good-for-nothing like Lu Yunfei as the Alliance leader.

When they came, there wasn't even a decent tactic, and now he had directly delivered the army to the enemy's doorstep. Isn't this just courting death?

Meanwhile, on the Tiansha Valley side, Ye Liuli was standing lazily on the shoulder of a Battle Puppet engraved with dark, mysterious patterns.

Her gaze swept contemptuously over the slightly panicked crowd ahead, a playful smile curling at the corner of her lips, and finally, her eyes landed on the outstanding Qin Ruoxue, who stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.

She had long heard of Qin Ruoxue's name and even knew that she was famous on some bullshit beauty ranking.

Seeing her today, she was just so-so.

Besides having a decent Face, what difference is there between this figure and a washboard?

Compared to her, it was far inferior.

She stuck out the tip of her tongue, licked her lips, and said: "Hand over Li Cheng's head, and I will spare your life."

"Huh?"

On the side of the Righteous Alliance, everyone was confused upon hearing this sentence.

What Li Cheng's head?

Qin Ruoxue glanced at Lu Yunfei beside her, seeing him standing there with his eyes darting around, looking like he had been scared silly, with no intention of speaking at all.

She sighed inwardly, had no choice but to take a step forward, looked directly at Ye Liuli on the Battle Puppet, and said coldly.

"Shameless scoundrel! We agreed on a fair decisive battle, yet you dare to kidnap our Righteous Path Disciples privately! If you have the ability, hand them over, and let us fight honorably!"

"Huh?"

This time, it was the Tiansha Valley Disciples' turn to be full of question marks.

What is going on?

What Disciples are we supposed to hand over?

"Bullshit!" A hot-tempered demonic cultivator Disciple immediately retorted.

Meanwhile, in the camp of the Righteous Alliance, a sneaky-looking Disciple looked left and right, discovering that these two sides were trading insults, engaging in a war of words, but had absolutely no intention of fighting.

His heart suddenly sank.

"It's over!"

This person was none other than Chun Xiaobai, who had snuck in a step ahead.

He realized something was wrong and discovered that he seemed to have miscalculated again.

These guys, if they want a decisive battle, just fight! Why the hell are they doing some pre-battle warm-up and playing a war of words first!

This Great King's brilliant plan seems to be going bankrupt ahead of schedule!

He had calculated everything, but he really didn't expect these guys to be useless despite their looks. They looked arrogant one by one, but when they actually got to the battlefield, they were so cowardly that they only knew how to play a war of words.

It seems he can only take a risk.
