If a pack of hungry wolves encountered a ferocious tiger, there could only be one result, and that was to attack it as a group. The reason was very simple, a wolf could never be a match for a ferocious tiger. Therefore, if the pack of wolves did not join forces, they could only be defeated one by one by the ferocious tiger.
Such a simple reason, believed that everyone understood. Therefore, Xiao Chen was sure that when the time came, the disciples of the major factions would gather, then the relatively weaker factions, which had a huge gap with the Blackstone Sect, would definitely join forces.
Because if they did not join forces, then no one would benefit. They would not even be able to drink a mouthful of soup. It was impossible for the powerful Blackstone Sect to share this Yin Wind Stone Culvert with everyone.
Therefore, if they wanted to get a piece of this meat, they could only join forces and defeat the powerful Blackstone Sect first. In this way, everyone would be able to benefit.
Of course, it was not that Xiao Chen did not think of going over to talk to the Blackstone Sect, but this idea was only flashed by and was rejected by Xiao Chen.
Talking to the Blackstone Sect was simply a joke. What was the premise of a negotiation? It was that the strength of both sides should be maintained at the same level, and there could not be too much of a gap.
Once the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, then they would lose the ability to negotiate. Just think about it, in the face of a negotiation partner who could be easily crushed, would you still talk to him? Of course not, because even his life and death were in your hands, what else was there to talk about?
Therefore, if they wanted to get a share of this Yin Wind Stone Culvert, they could only gather the strength of the other factions. When the time came, they would defeat the Blackstone Sect and then fight with the other factions who were not strong. This way, their chances would be greater.
Hiding in the mountain stream, Xiao Chen did not make a move, but ordered everyone to carefully hide their tracks and not be discovered by the disciples of the Blackstone Sect. As for the rest, they could only wait for the arrival of the disciples of the major factions.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In these three days, in this seemingly calm valley, there was actually an undercurrent surging.
In these three days, disciples from nine different factions had already arrived. Including the Blackstone Faction that had been occupying the Yin Wind Stone Culvert, there were disciples from ten different factions gathered in this valley.
As more and more factions arrived, it was naturally impossible to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, after three days, although the war had not yet broken out, the positions of the disciples of the various factions were basically exposed. Everyone knew where the other party was, how many people they had, and how strong they were.
Of course, the disciples of the Blackstone Sect were aware of this. Since yesterday, the disciples of the Blackstone Sect had stopped exploring the cave and refining the Yin Wind Stones.
Originally, after occupying this culvert, the disciples of the Blackstone Sect had begun to refine the Yin Wind Stones in batches. However, from yesterday onwards, these actions had all stopped. Hundreds of disciples of the Blackstone Sect were on guard, facing the disciples of the other nine sects.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and Xiao Chen and the others did not bother to hide. Instead, they swaggered around the mountain stream and stared at the disciples of the Blackstone Sect from afar.
According to Xiao Chen's prediction, it was about time. The disciples of the nine sects would most likely choose to join forces in the next one or two days. When that time came, it would be time for them to start a war with the Blackstone Sect.
This was not far from what Xiao Chen had expected, but there were still people who came to invite Xiao Chen to the Hundred Spirits Sect's encampment to discuss the matter of the alliance.
Xiao Chen had heard a little about the Hundred Spirits Sect. Among the various factions of the Taiyang Sect, the Hundred Spirits Sect could be considered as the third echelon faction.
The first echelon was naturally the main faction, while the second echelon was the Blackstone Sect and the other four major factions. The Hundred Spirits Sect was in the third echelon, and their strength could be considered above average.
However, the disciple sent by the Hundred Spirits Sect was extremely arrogant, as if he did not think much of the Sacred Palace faction.
Perhaps in his opinion, the Sacred Palace faction did not have the qualifications to participate in this alliance, and it did not matter whether the Sacred Palace faction was present or not.
In fact, Xiao Chen did not know that the reason the Hundred Spirits Sect had invited the Sacred Palace faction was entirely because of senior brother Wang, the leader of the Skymist Sect faction.
If senior brother Wang had not strongly advocated for the Sacred Palace faction, the disciples of the Hundred Spirits Sect and the other factions would not have come to invite the Sacred Palace faction.
The disciple of the Hundred Spirits Sect was extremely arrogant when he saw the disciple in the temporary tent. Even in front of Xiao Chen, this disciple still had his head held high.
"You're the leader of the Sacred Palace faction? Our senior brother Chen has invited all the senior brothers of the major factions to a banquet tonight. You should come as well. "The disciple of the Hundred Spirits Sect said arrogantly with his nose pointed to the sky.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change when he heard this, but the Qing Emperor, Bai Yi and the others all had icy expressions on their faces. This fellow was simply courting death. A mere Dao King realm disciple actually dared to act so arrogantly in front of the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace.
The Hundred Spirits Sect disciple's words made it seem as if the Sacred Palace could already burn incense to thank the heavens for participating in this alliance. It was completely a form of charity.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly in response to the disciple's arrogance. "Qing Emperor, this kid's mouth stinks. Help him clean it up."
Xiao Chen naturally would not lower himself to the same level as such a small figure, but since he had come to the Sacred Palace's territory and acted so arrogantly, he had to pay a price.
The Qing Emperor didn't hesitate at all when he heard Xiao Chen, and he immediately took a step forward. His cultivation at the advanced-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm shot into the sky, and a terrifying might pressed down towards that disciple with overwhelming force.
The Hundred Spirits Sect disciple's expression suddenly changed when he sensed the Qing Emperor's terrifying aura. He immediately rebuked angrily, "How dare you! I'm from the Hundred Spirits Sect …"
He wanted to threaten everyone with words, but unfortunately, the Qing Emperor did not give him a chance to speak at all. He directly punched out and ruthlessly struck the disciple's face.
The Qing Emperor's target was the disciple's mouth every time he attacked. After a few punches, the disciple's teeth were all knocked out. He could not speak clearly and his face was covered in blood. In the end, he fainted.
"So weak. He fainted after a few punches?" The Qing Emperor muttered unhappily when he saw the disciple faint.
Xiao Chen finally smiled faintly when he saw this. "Alright, Qing Emperor, take him and come with me. The rest of you, stay here and be careful. Don't let your guard down."
