242: joint

"Sect Master Li, you are certainly in high spirits. I just wonder if you will still be able to laugh during the upcoming team battle?"

The Green Silk Sect Elder walked forward with a smile. On the surface, he was offering congratulations, but the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

Seeing the other party arrive, Li Haotian had no intention of paying him any mind and turned his head to continue chatting with others.

The Green Silk Sect Elder, having been snubbed, was not angry. In fact, he could be said to be looking for trouble himself.

For the upcoming team battle, twenty Sects had already formed an alliance. The total number of participating Disciples from these major Sects was now only about seventy or eighty.

The rest had all been killed by these people.

A full 20 Sects with 1,500 people would continuously hunt down the Disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect during the upcoming team battle, and they would immediately surround them once their tracks were discovered.

This team battle was based on hunting Yao Beasts to obtain beast cores for points, with different stages of beast cores representing different point values.

The various forces were randomly dropped across the battlefield. Initially, they were teleported together with their own people, which ensured that the Disciples of a single force could stay together.

The higher the level of the Yao Beast hunted, the more points were obtained. At the same time, one could not only hunt Yao Beasts but also seize the points of Powerhouses from other forces.

Li Haotian had originally wanted to participate in the team battle, but he was firmly refused by the Divine Mirror Sect. After all, if he were to make a move, no one would be his match.

If he were to join, what would be left for anyone else to do?

Therefore, he could only send his own 37 people. Their injuries had mostly recovered, and they were ready to fight at any time.

Just as Li Haotian was preparing to arrange some matters, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Ling Yiyi hopped over to his side.

"Sect Master Li, want to form an alliance?"

Behind Ling Yiyi followed a Chiyuan Sect Elder, who was the team leader for the Chiyuan Sect this time. He was also here to form an alliance; the Sect Master had ordered that they should help the Heavenly Profound Sect during the team battle if they could.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes so many Peak Great Emperor Realm Experts; the other party's strength would only be stronger than what they had seen.

Such an existence was definitely not a declining Sect; it was very likely a terrifying entity on the verge of rising.

Crimson Gold had always been a very snobbish person, taking the Sect as the highest principle in everything.

Seeing that the other party intended to rise up, he naturally chose to defect. He certainly wanted to be on good terms with them rather than bad terms; his previous actions had been a helpless move.

After all, he had always wanted to taste their white liquor. If it hadn't been an absolute last resort, how could he possibly have stood on the opposite side of them?

"Why have you two suddenly come to me? I have so many enemies now. If your two families join me, it will likely only affect your own results, and you might even fall out of the Ten Great Powers."

Li Haotian had clearly already received wind of the news; word that those families were plotting to deal with him had spread like wildfire.

"Count us, the Azure Sea Sect, in!"

Another hearty laugh rang out. The Azure Sea Sect, which had always been on good terms with them, also chose to stand on the same front as the Heavenly Profound Sect.

"These guys aren't just aiming for your spot anymore. They have joined forces with a total of 30 powers, nearly 1,500 Cultivators, 1,300 of whom are in the Heavenly Monarch Realm. Do you think they are doing this just for your spot?"

The Azure Sea Sect Elder walked over, and everyone looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

They were now quite clear about what those guys wanted to do. They intended to carry out a direct regime change, completely overhauling the Ten Great Powers; at the very least, they wanted to replace four or five of them.

No matter how strong the Ten Great Powers were, they could easily handle any single power one-on-one. Even if they joined forces, it wasn't too difficult, but that was only limited to the situation where the other side had only one ally.

Fighting one against two or one against three was fine. Fighting one against four might be a bit of a stretch, and fighting one against five was unrealistic.

If it were one against twenty, then what the hell was there to play for!

After the Heavenly Profound Sect was finished off, they would definitely set their sights on other Sects. They would absolutely not stop so easily, especially since they had rarely managed to gather so many people to threaten the forces of the Ten Great Sects.

If they didn't join forces, I'm afraid the Ten Great Powers, according to the ranking rules, would be suppressed no matter how strong their strength was.

On the surface, this was a team battle for their own forces, but in reality, it was a large-scale team battle.

"My Divine Mirror Sect's thoughts coincide with everyone's. Five of the Ten Great Powers have come; this lineup of ours is truly luxurious."

Liu Chen appeared beside everyone with a smile, the fresh wine and dishes in his hands were clearly the sincerity he had brought.

The five major forces sat together for a heart-to-heart talk. Iron Fist Valley, Myriad Beast Valley, and Extreme Pill Valley had joined forces; they were also looking to deal with that 30-person team. Currently, only the Emerald Bird Pavilion and the Tianji Dynasty were left fighting alone.

Li Haotian rolled his eyes for a long time, then called the leaders of these two major forces over, but was clearly refused. Having just rejected the invitation of the Ten Great Powers, the people from the two major forces turned around and went to find the forces that had united.

These two major forces took the lead in jointly opposing the other Ten Great Powers.

The discussions between Li Haotian and the others were also very appropriate. The five major forces officially decided to unite. Although the Heavenly Profound Sect lacked numbers, they were very elite, especially those six existences.

At the same time, they all brought their respective affiliated forces. On the surface, there were only 400 people, but in reality, there were already over 1,000 people.

The forces that had joined together also called upon their affiliated subordinates. They were not Heavenly Monarch Experts, but they were not much weaker; Sendai Realm Experts, who were only one Realm weaker, were also sufficient. They directly popped out nearly three to four thousand Powerhouses from the combined forces at once.

Li Haotian and the others all had some headaches. Just when Li Haotian was frowning, he suddenly thought of the gift package given by the System.

In addition to those death warrior summoning cards, the System had also gifted another item: a Combined Battle Formation. This was a reward for achieving good results in the individual competition.

This battle Formation was extremely ingenious. The power unleashed by just a few Heavenly Monarchs working together was actually no weaker than a Quasi-Emperor Expert.

Although the Formation had a maximum capacity of 30 Heavenly Monarchs, the power it unleashed was already enough to rival a Great Emperor Expert!

With such a Formation, Li Haotian was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly called his people over to start practicing.

Zhang Hai, Su Yao, and the others watched quietly from the sidelines, also benefiting a lot. The remaining seven of them could also form a small Formation. The extra Disciple was a Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Disciple with impressive strength, hailing from Tiger Howl Peak, and was very reliable.
