Zhan Wusi was not good with words and was left speechless when faced with this sudden mockery.
However, Li Chengfeng was quick-witted, sensing that his divine sense could cover a range of a hundred miles ahead.
Immediately, he was surprised to discover that the number of second-order demonic beasts far exceeded nine; there were at least twenty.
Eleven of them were sleeping, as if containing even greater power.
Once a battle erupted, they would awaken. Li Chengfeng was overjoyed, as this was undoubtedly a godsend opportunity for him.
He was not discouraged by the large number of second-order demonic beasts, but instead felt that this was an excellent opportunity to seize the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom.
He looked at the surrounding elite disciples and already had a plan in mind.
Facing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the Blood Demon Sect and the Puppet Sect, the other three forces had long heard of it and were secretly delighted.
In this Nine Desires Valley, the Blood Demon Sect and the Puppet Sect were two difficult forces to provoke. If the two sides clashed, they could reap the benefits.
Therefore, everyone was holding a 'wait and see' attitude, quietly waiting for the situation to develop.
Chu Zheng appeared unusually cautious in this situation. She stood aside, eyes lowered, but her heart was filled with anger and helplessness.
She originally wanted to leave the main group to refine medicine on her own, but she unexpectedly encountered Li Chengfeng and was forced to follow the main group.
She knew very well that in this large group, she was just cannon fodder, and the benefits gained by those elite disciples would only serve as a foil.
If she was lucky, she might be able to get out alive; if she was unlucky, she would only lose her life in this Nine Desires Valley.
Li Chengfeng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stood up and said to the crowd, "Eldest Brother, this Puppet Sect is targeting our Blood Demon Sect everywhere. We cannot let them succeed.
I saw with my own eyes that the Soul Devouring Sect and the Puppet Sect have already joined forces to form an alliance against us."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ming immediately became interested, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Is this true?"
Li Chengfeng nodded firmly: "I dare to guarantee it with my head.
Our team originally had seven people, but now only Chu Zheng and I are left. Both of us can testify."
Chu Zheng also immediately stood up and echoed, "That's right. At that time, we were looking for spiritual herbs and traces of the main group.
Suddenly, people from the Soul Devouring Sect and the Puppet Sect launched an attack on us.
The Soul Devouring Sect's Hun San was powerful, and we couldn't cope with him at all; and the people from the Puppet Sect were even more cunning, their flying birds flying in the sky.
There were also a dozen little people on it unleashing sword energy and casting spells. They were definitely elite disciples of the Puppet Sect."
Xue Ming nodded, and from the expressions of Chu Zheng and Qin Hua, he could see that they were not lying.
At this time, Zhan Wusi's face was cold. She already believed Li Chengfeng's words, because she had fought against the Puppet Sect and knew that the Puppet Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect were very likely to collude.
Meng Biao and Fang Ruichu of the Soul Devouring Sect glanced at each other, and immediately understood the trick.
It must have been the two traitors who ruined their plan.
The two traitors originally wanted to rob the Blood Demon Sect, but two disciples escaped, so they went along with the flow and blamed the Puppet Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect.
They were angry but helpless.
Fang Ruichu still insisted on her position, gritting her teeth and retorted: "You two are talking nonsense here, daring to plant the blame at will without evidence!
I believe that fellow cultivators will not easily believe your one-sided words."
The leader of the Soul Devouring Sect also echoed: "That's right, you are slandering our two sects here without evidence. This doesn't seem like something a righteous person would do."
Although they were cooperating in secret, they were trying their best to clear their relationship at this moment, because once the joint matter was exposed, they would become the target of public criticism.
They understood that if they fought on their own, they could profit from it, but if the joint was exposed, the other three sects might also unite against them.
Xue Ming looked at Li Chengfeng and Chu Zheng and asked, "Do you two have any evidence?"
Li Chengfeng sighed and shook his head: "Of course we don't have any evidence. The situation was chaotic at the time, and we didn't even have time to escape, so how could we leave evidence?"
Chu Zheng also said firmly: "But we can make a heart demon oath that this is absolutely true."
Xue Ming nodded and said to the crowd: "Everyone has seen that, although there is no direct evidence, combined with various signs, the possibility of the Soul Devouring Sect and the Puppet Sect joining forces is very high.
If we don't unite, we will easily be defeated by them one by one. I hope everyone can make a wise choice and not be misled by the people of these two sects."
The leader of the Corpse Refining Sect was a powerful black-faced man, carrying a huge coffin on his back, which made him particularly maverick.
He sneered and said, "Even if you cooperate, it doesn't matter, but they are just some petty thieves.
My Corpse Refining Sect disdains to associate with them."
His attitude was very clear that even if the Soul Devouring Sect and the Puppet Sect joined forces, the Corpse Refining Sect would not join them.
Facing the criticism from the Corpse Refining Sect, Fang Ruichu and Meng Biao of the Soul Devouring Sect turned pale, but they did not flare up.
At this critical moment, any remarks could become a handle to attack them.
They understood that the most important thing now was to remain silent and avoid causing greater disputes.
Zhan Wusi looked at Shi Kai of the Corpse Refining Sect angrily, not expecting him to be so arrogant and unwilling to unite with other sects.
She was thinking in her heart that if the three major sects could join forces to destroy the Puppet Sect and the Soul Devouring Sect first, the following things would be much easier.
However, she also understood that everyone had their own plans and could not be forced.
So, Zhan Wusi turned to look at Liu Ruoyan of the Joyful Union Sect and smiled: "Sister Ruoyan, why don't we cooperate?
Only if my Blood Demon Sect joins hands with your Joyful Union Sect can we better fight against the Soul Devouring Sect and the Puppet Sect. Otherwise, if we fight on our own, we will easily suffer losses."
Liu Ruoyan smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with a charming light, as if she could see through people's hearts.
She shook her head gently and said, "It is not impossible to cooperate with your sect, but what kind of benefits can your sect give me?"
Zhan Wusi took a deep breath. She knew that it would not be easy to impress this beautiful sect master of the Joyful Union Sect.
She took out a storage bag, and a surging aura emanated from it.
She opened the storage bag, and a huge nine-eyed toad appeared in front of everyone.
The nine eyes of this toad flickered with strange light, as if they could control people's minds.
Liu Ruoyan's eyes lit up when she saw the nine-eyed toad. She nodded and said, "If you are willing to give me the nine-eyed toad, I am willing to cooperate with you.
I can also give up the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, because the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom is not a necessity for the Joyful Union Sect.
But the nine-eyed toad is of great help to my illusion cultivation."
Zhan Wusi smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if I give it to you, but it must be after we join forces to get the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom.
But I won't let your sect work in vain. I can give you two eyes of the nine-eyed toad as sincerity first."
Liu Ruoyan's eyebrows were picturesque. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, she said: "Okay, then give me two eyes of the nine-eyed toad first, and I will help you get the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom.
The remaining seven eyes will be given to me after you fulfill your promise."
