Several days later, Jiang Lei's injuries had recovered by seventy percent. The news of the Heavenly Deity Palace being scared off by the Soul Gate had already spread like wildfire outside. This made him furious. This time, he had truly lost all face.
Jiang Lei rushed into the main hall of the Heavenly God Palace angrily and said to Jiang Xuan, "Father, I don't understand. Why didn't you attack? Is the Heavenly God Palace afraid of Soulgate? Now, the entire Central Region is laughing at our Heavenly God Palace for being cowards! They are saying that we are cowards! "
"Young Palace Master, don't be rash. Calm down first. You haven't recovered from your injuries." Great Commander He Qingshan quickly said.
"Hmph! Aren't they just five late-stage Divine Kings who can contend with the Great Commander? No matter how strong they are, they are not father's match. If it were me, I would rather attack than retreat. Now, the entire Central Region knows that the Heavenly God Palace is scared off by the newly established Soulgate. We don't dare to attack. " Jiang Lei said angrily. He had always valued his face as much as his life. He couldn't accept this at all.
"Young Palace Master, even the Palace Master can't see through those five people. Do you really think they are only late-stage Divine Kings? If that's the case, the Palace Master doesn't even need to attack. The five of them are very unfamiliar and mysterious. I don't know where Xiao Chen recruited them from. If we attack, we will suffer casualties. From the confidence of the people from Soulgate, we can see that they are not afraid of the Heavenly God Palace. In other words, if we attack, the chances of defeating Soulgate are very small. What if we lose? Young Palace Master, have you thought about it? "Great Elder Yang Xuanzong said slowly.
Jiang Lei said angrily, "We haven't fought yet. Who knows what the consequences will be? We are powerful in the Central Region. Why should we be afraid of a small Soulgate? "
The Great Leader then said, "Young Palace Master, it's lucky that we didn't make a move. If we did, we would have lost miserably. Even if Heaven Shadow God Emperor and many other experts came, I'm afraid Heaven Shadow God Emperor wouldn't dare to make a move. This Xiao Chen indeed has a great background. On the day we returned, we received news from Divine Shadow Palace Master that Xiao Chen has the support of the Dragon Clan!"
Jiang Lei heard this and his expression changed. He said in shock, "What? The Dragon Race? Xiao Chen has the support of the Dragon Clan? This was impossible! The Dragon Clan has never interacted with human forces, so how could the Dragon Clan support Xiao Chen? "
"Lei 'er, this matter is absolutely true. Furthermore, it was God Emperor Tian Ying's idea. Xiao Chen had once offended God Emperor Dong Huang in the North Region, so he specifically asked God Emperor Tian Ying to secretly investigate Xiao Chen. Divine Shadow Palace Master sent a message saying that they were planning to send people to deal with Xiao Chen, but we caught up to them first," Jiang Xuan said with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Chen actually dared to offend the Eastern Emperor Divine Lord?" The more Jiang Lei heard, the more ridiculous he felt it was, and the more he couldn't believe it.
"Furthermore, God Emperor Tian Ying has already sent Divine Shadow Palace to secretly investigate for a long time. Xiao Chen's early God General cultivation base is currently being spread by a guard of Divine Shadow Palace." Great Commander He Qingshan said.
"What should we do now? Are we just going to let it go like this? "Jiang Lei asked. If he let it go like this, he would never be able to take it in his entire life.
"Of course not," Jiang Xuan sneered. "God Emperor Tian Ying has already ordered us to do our best to investigate Xiao Chen's background. Although the Dragon Clan's strength is terrifying, we have to lure them out. This is the Supreme God's idea. As long as the Dragon Clan is lured out, the Supreme God will be able to seize the power of the Dragon Soul of the Dragon Clan."
Speaking until here, Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Lei and smiled, "Lei 'er, this is your chance. After you recover, you can go all out to deal with Xiao Chen. Make as much of a fuss as you want. God Emperor Tian Ying has many forces under his control in the Central Region, and he has already given the order that the Heavenly God Palace and Divine Shadow Palace can freely dispatch people under their control."
Hearing this, Jiang Lei was immediately overjoyed and sneered, "Very good! Since this is the Supreme God's idea, it means that even if Soulgate has the support of the Dragon Clan, we don't have to worry. If the Dragon Clan comes, God Emperor Tian Ying and the others will stop them. If the Dragon Soul Clan's Clan Leader comes, the Supreme God will stop them! "
Great Elder Yang Xuanzong stroked his beard and smiled, "Young Palace Master, we can't be too anxious now. God Emperor Tian Ying's intention is to investigate Xiao Chen's background, but the Eastern Royal God Emperor's intention is to take action when necessary."
"Great Elder, don't worry. Since I can mobilize the major forces, I will definitely take my time to deal with Soulgate! I will first bribe some independent forces to deal with Soulgate, then bribe some strong rogue cultivators to work for me. Slowly, I will isolate Soulgate and make Soulgate the public enemy of all the major forces in the Central Region! "Jiang Lei sneered, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness.
On the other side, Xiao Chen was busy cultivating, crazily absorbing the power of the Divine Beast's Divine Liquid to increase his cultivation. He didn't know that a major trouble was slowly approaching.
Time passed day by day. Because of the incident between the Heavenly God Palace and the Soul Sect, it attracted the attention of independent cultivators from all over the Central Region. They all wanted to know what kind of force the Soul Sect was. It had just been established, but it already had the strength to scare off the Heavenly God Palace.
However, not a single force came to curry favor with Soulgate. The Heavenly God Palace was one of the major forces under God Emperor Tian Ying. If they went to curry favor with Soulgate, wouldn't they become enemies with the Heavenly God Palace and God Emperor Tian Ying?
In just a few days, quite a few Divine King experts had joined the Soul Gate. Moreover, there were still quite a number of people who were still hesitating. Joining the Soul Gate meant becoming enemies with the Heavenly God Palace and God Emperor Tian Ying. This was no small matter. They had to consider it carefully.
In a palace in Soulgate, Di Hun and the other four woke up from their cultivation. Di Hun took the lead and said, "Soulgate is indeed in big trouble."
"The Divine Shadow Palace has already sent experts to monitor Soulgate. God Emperor Tian Ying has already ordered the Divine Shadow Palace and the Heavenly God Palace to deal with Soulgate. His goal is to lure out the Dragon Clan behind the Gate Master," Sha Hun said.
Wan Hun continued, "We can't interfere too much. Let the Gate Master face it himself."
Tian Hun agreed, "Wan Hun is right. We don't have to worry about these things. We will only act when we have no other choice. That old bastard Jiang Xuan is already suspicious of us. He will probably investigate us."
"If the Gate Master doesn't say anything, we will act as if nothing happened," Di Hun said. Then, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating. The other four also continued to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Soulgate was getting stronger and stronger. Currently, there were more than forty God Kings. Even some late-stage God Generals who were about to break through to the God King Realm had joined Soulgate. However, there were no God Monarchs at the moment.
After such a long time, Jiang Lei had already recovered. Now, he was bribing some second-rate forces in the Central Region. He had already bribed some powerful independent cultivators and planned how to deal with Soulgate.
In the next few days, trouble came to Soulgate one after another. It was either other second-rate or third-rate forces who came to cause trouble or some independent cultivators who joined forces to deal with Soulgate. Unfortunately, as Soulgate grew stronger, those who came to cause trouble were all driven away.
In the Soul Gate, Danqing, Danhuo, and the others had succeeded in practicing the alchemy skills that Xiao Chen had given them. Danqing had directly advanced to the level of a fourth-grade alchemist, while Danhuo and the others had also advanced to the level of a third-grade alchemist. However, Danyun Shan, as the abbot, had not made much progress after successfully practicing the powerful alchemy skills.
At this moment, Dan Qing and the others were refining the second-grade alchemy technique that Xiao Chen had given them. There were also the third-grade and fourth-grade alchemy techniques. Dan Yunshan was researching and refining the fifth-grade alchemy technique. Soulgate's Alchemy Palace had already started to work.
The Alchemy Palace started to work on alchemy. The people of Soulgate were overjoyed. If Dan Qing and the others could successfully refine the alchemy technique, the people of Soulgate would have the alchemy technique to help them cultivate. At that time, their cultivation would be able to increase rapidly. It was too slow to rely on Shen Origin Stones to cultivate.
Time passed quickly. Soulgate's existence had been established. In just a few months, it was now on the right track and had become a second-rate force in the Central Region.
In Divine Shadow Palace, a guard hurried to a palace hall and said respectfully, "Young Palace Master, Young Lord Jiang is outside."
"Quickly invite Young Lord Jiang in. You can leave first. Serve him tea later." The person who was called the Young Palace Master smiled. The maids and guards nodded respectfully and left.
Jiang Lei entered the hall and cupped his fists with a smile, "Young Lord Gao, long time no see. How have you been?"
The Young Palace Master of Divine Shadow Palace, Gao Li, quickly greeted him with a smile, "Young Lord Jiang, you're finally here. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Young Lord Gao!" Jiang Lei smiled politely. As soon as he sat down, the maids served hot tea.
"Young Lord Jiang, how's the development on your side?" Gao Li directly opened the door and asked.
Jiang Lei took a sip of tea and smiled, "The forces and rogue cultivators I bribed were all beaten away by Soulgate. Some were killed and some were injured. Although they didn't cause any harm to Soulgate, they made those forces hate Soulgate. If we want to encourage Soulgate, we have to start with these second-rate and third-rate forces."
Gao Li nodded and said, "I still can't find anything on my side. Some of the experts I sent were also injured by Soulgate. It's a pity that rogue cultivators are not easy to bribe. Otherwise, Soulgate wouldn't have survived until today."
"Young Lord Gao, don't worry. I've already ordered the forces under me to deal with Soulgate. We'll slowly play with Xiao Chen. I'd like to see how long Soulgate can last." Jiang Lei sneered.
Gao Li frowned and said, "But Soulgate is growing stronger by the day. The longer we drag this out, the worse it will be for us."
"I have a way to stop Soulgate from growing stronger. We can send more people to monitor Soulgate. As long as someone approaches Soulgate, we can drive them away or even kill them. That way, who would dare to join Soulgate?" Jiang Lei sneered. His eyes were full of sinister and ruthless.
"That's a good idea. Young Lord Jiang is brilliant." Gao Li smiled happily and gave Jiang Lei a thumbs up.
Jiang Lei sneered and said, "If we control Soulgate to grow stronger, we'll force them to their death step by step. I want to let Xiao Chen know our methods. Since your father and my father told us to go all out, what's there to be afraid of? We just need to make a big deal out of it. But I like to torture my enemies slowly. Once Soulgate can't hold on, Xiao Chen will definitely let the Dragon Race take action. At that time, we'll have made a great contribution and helped the Supreme God seize the Dragon Race's power! "
