Chapter 1154: A Million Immortals
The courtyard suddenly fell silent.
In truth, given their level, they couldn't participate in a conflict of this scale. However, their choices would determine the future of their families.
After a long silence, Wu Wenguang was the first to speak.
"Our Wu Family has no choice. We'll definitely stand on Upheaval's side. When the time comes, if they really want to deal with Upheaval, our Wu Family will definitely lend a hand … even if our strength is meager. "
"The Patriarch said that we should befriend Sir Ye," replied Liu Qing. Although he wasn't very direct, his intentions were clear.
"Actually, I was thinking the same thing."
After they voiced their opinions, Wng Lei pursed his lips into a smile.
Staying neutral was actually the best decision for him. He was different from the Liu and Wu Families. The Liu Family had an immortal king, while the Wu Family had Wu Di.
However, it was precisely because of this that, although the Wang Family had been the city lord for the past year, they'd always felt as if they'd been pressured by the other two families.
Choosing sides now was the best opportunity for him. As for Upheaval's defeat, he didn't believe it at all.
They'd risen to power so quickly, but they definitely had the support of an expert.
Of course, if he made the wrong bet, he'd face utter annihilation. This was a huge gamble.
"Our three families are all on Upheaval's side, so there's nothing left to discuss. Let's all return to our clans and make preparations.
In a moment, I'll send word to Boss Wei and tell him about the situation outside the city. He'll be prepared. " In a moment, I'll send word to Boss Wei and tell him about the situation outside the city. That way, he'll be prepared. "
… …
A heavy immortal pressure permeated the entire hall. The instant Wei Jie's voice faded, everyone in the hall tensed up.
When Ayi sensed the hostility in the hall, he hefted his Sword Pagoda and stepped forward, his fierce eyes scanning his surroundings.
If anyone in the hall made the slightest move, or if Gao Xiong gave the order, he'd unhesitatingly swing his sword at their heads.
"Boss Wei, you're quite brave."
Gao Xiong clapped his hands in admiration, his half-lidded eyes flashing with a venomous light.
"It seems Upheaval has long harbored ill intentions towards our Gao Family. For them to dare say something like this, I'm afraid they have someone from the Divine Mountains backing them. I just don't know, Boss Wei, but can you tell us just who's backing you? The Four Directions Palace, the Spiritual Connection Tower, the Profound Pavilion, the Assembly of Saints, or the Sea of Innocence? "
Behind the Gao Clan stood the Xiao Clan, the clan of the Thunder Emperor.
Among those who dared to clash head-on with the Thunder Emperor, only these few factions would be able to contend against him.
Gao Xiong pointed out these powers because he wanted to see if he could see anything fishy from Wei Jie's expression. However, what disappointed him was that Wei Jie's eyes remained calm and composed from beginning to end. He didn't give himself away at all.
"Do you need to care about that?"
Wei Jie couldn't help but smile calmly. As the gang leader, he knew better than anyone who stood behind Upheaval.
He also wanted to have the support of these powers. He knew all of the powers Gao Xiong had just mentioned. They were all peak powers of the Divine Mountains.
But as far as he knew, Ye Zichen was just an independent cultivator.
However, he wanted to use this feeling of being in the clouds to confuse Gao Xiong, so that he wouldn't be able to guess.
At this moment, a gang member suddenly appeared beside Wei Jie. The member whispered a few words into his ear, and Wei Jie's expression immediately changed.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"I can't be sure, but I heard the news from City Lord Wang. I doubt it's fake."
"Alright, I got it. You can leave now."
Wei Jie waved the gang member away, his brows furrowed deeply. When Upheaval's elders and retainers noticed this, their gazes froze. Then they heard Gao Xiong clap his hands and laugh.
"Gao Xiong, nice move!"
Gao Xiong smiled calmly. He knew full well that Wei Jie already knew about the people he'd left outside the city.
"You praise me too much. How could I not be fully prepared when entering the tiger's den?"
"You must have spent quite a bit of time contacting so many clans with connections to the Divine Mountains."
When they heard this, the gang members' eyelids twitched.
In their hearts, they'd already guessed what the gang member had told Wei Jie.
"It really did take quite a bit of time, but so what? Boss Wei, your gang has grown far too quickly. Even a few of the Divine Mountains' clans are starting to feel apprehensive. "
"Can you tell me how many people are out there right now?"
"Around three million," said Gao Xiong with a calm smile. Gao Xiong smiled calmly. "They're all Sky Immortals and above. They're the elites of their respective clans."
"Hah, that's quite impressive. But do you really think three million immortals is enough to destroy Upheaval? "
"Absolutely not!"
Gao Xiong's reply was resolute and decisive. What kind of faction was Upheaval right now? Three million sky immortals naturally couldn't destroy it.
"But against Raging Flame City's headquarters, it should be more than enough, right?"
Wei Jie's smile froze. He was no longer as relaxed as he'd been at first.
Three million sky immortals and above might not be much to Upheaval as a whole. But the problem now was that he didn't have enough time to deploy his forces.
Even if Raging Flame City's garrison was elite enough, they couldn't face three million sky immortals and above.
They had no chance of victory.
Lei Zhen, a supreme, was also on the Central Divine Mountain ….
"Boss Wei, you don't look too well?"
Gao Xiong's face was wreathed in a contented smile. He currently held the absolute advantage. So long as he willed it …. The millions of immortals outside the city would immediately bathe it in blood.
"How could I possibly look well? There are millions of immortal kings outside the city gates. Who could possibly look well?" Wei Jie stared intently at Gao Xiong and snorted, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Then why doesn't Boss Wei bring out the people behind him? That way, we might be scared into retreating."
"It's quite lively!"
At that moment, frivolous laughter rang out from outside the hall. Everyone in the hall looked over and saw Ye Zichen standing alone at the entrance, a faint smile on his lips.
The instant he appeared, Wei Jie's gloomy expression vanished. He hurriedly rose to his feet and bowed.
"Boss!"
Upheaval's members were astonished. Although he was Upheaval's bona fide boss, in truth, not many of the gang's higher-ups knew who he was. Only the people Wei Jie had recruited in the first place, as well as Wei Jie's subordinates, knew his true identity.
"Grandmaster Ye."
Grandmaster Ye had risen to fame in Ice Blue City. There was no way Gao Xiong wouldn't recognize him.
When Ye Zichen appeared, he was somewhat astonished. He didn't know about Ye Zichen's relationship with Upheaval.
"Family Head Gao."
Ye Zichen cupped his hands in greeting. Gao Xiong spoke up.
"I never would have guessed Grandmaster Ye was a member of Upheaval."
