Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Jiang Cheng’s Plan
Zhan Ying is actually a clever person.
So from the start, he brought up the great cause of opposing the True Immortals, saying, "I am gathering the nine Magical Treasures to slay those few True Immortals."
"I’m doing this for everyone’s sake."
Qingsuo’s refusal to hand over the Heart-Piercing Awl is tantamount to opposing everyone.
This invisible big hat put on her instantly isolated Qingsuo, making these tens of thousands of experts no longer support her.
In fact, after learning that the Nine Treasures together were so powerful, having the chance to kill those few True Immortals, many onlookers indeed thought so.
They also hoped Qingsuo would listen to the War Division.
Quickly unite the Nine Treasures, take down those True Immortals, and resolve everyone’s crisis.
It’s just a pity that he miscalculated one thing.
Then they saw Brother Cheng wipe the ring, and the Bone Refining Banner with a scintillating purple glow flew up into the air, fluttering in the wind!
"Internal affairs?"
"You want the Nine Treasures to unite, did you get my consent?"
Zhan Ying’s face changed, and there was an uproar behind him from various tribespeople.
"How come the Bone Refining Banner is in your hands?"
"What else? Who did you think had it, Saint Bi Feng?"
Zhan Ying gradually calmed down.
Their information was outdated, not even knowing that Bi Feng had already been killed.
Originally, they were indeed looking for Bi Feng to retrieve the Bone Refining Banner, but they hadn’t found him.
"Did you snatch it from Bi Feng’s hands?"
"Yeah, do you have a problem with that?"
Zhan Ying took a deep breath and extended his left hand.
"Then hand it over."
Brother Cheng almost burst out laughing.
"You talk as if the Bone Refining Banner belongs to you guys."
"The Bone Refining Banner is originally our Immortal Remnant Race’s Magical Treasure, you, an outsider, have no right to possess it..."
Zhan Ying was interrupted impatiently by Brother Cheng before he could finish.
"Isn’t the Bone Refining Banner the Witch Division’s? When did it become the entire Immortal Remnant Race’s?"
"The Witch Division is one of my Nine Divisions of the Immortal Legacy, and with Clan Leader Lan Ti not present, our War Division has the right to keep it on behalf!"
This so-called keeping it on behalf essentially meant it belonged to the War Division.
The name Lan Ti, Zhan Ying had indeed heard a little.
She was the last remnant of the Witch Division when it was exterminated years ago, still young and not very powerful.
Even if she did show up one day, she couldn’t resist the War Division.
"Who told you Lan Ti wasn’t around?"
Brother Cheng summoned once with the Xuanji Map, and the next moment, Lan Ti appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Cheng, what’s going on? Why are there so many people?"
She had been in the map practicing ascetic cultivation lately, completely unaware of what had happened in the outside world during this time.
But seeing Jiang Cheng again, she was quite excited, and if it weren’t for so many people, she might have embraced him specifically once more.
Her power had astonishingly reached the early-stage Saint Tier.
Upon her appearance, Brother Cheng gained over three billion points again.
Qingsuo was startled, "Lan Ti, how did your progression become so fast?"
She used to be just a junior, but now she’s actually stronger than her.
Brother Cheng couldn’t be bothered to explain and instead started to find amusement in the situation.
"Sister Lan, he’s trying to snatch our Bone Refining Banner, and even claims this Magical Treasure belongs to their War Division, please uphold justice for me!"
Sister Lan was indeed enraged.
"What?"
"Zhan Ying, when did my Witch Division’s Bone Refining Banner become yours?"
Seeing Lan Ti’s power had reached Saint Tier startled Zhan Ying.
This matter was truly troublesome now.
An early-stage Saint Tier holding the Bone Refining Banner carries immense power.
Originally thought the Witch Division had only one last remnant, easily manipulated, but now it seems to fall short.
His mind turned quickly, immediately starting to argue back.
"Lan Ti, you’re quite bold, daring to hand an Inheritance Treasure to an outsider?"
Lan Ti immediately retorted, "Jiang Cheng is my person, he possesses a Divine-grade Witch Seed, and I’ve appointed him as the new Clan Leader. Didn’t see the Bone Refining Banner automatically recognizing him as its owner?"
Various tribespeople exchanged glances, Divine-grade Witch Seed?
Divine Talent, they’ve never had that among any of these tribes.
A Witch Division almost declared extinct, how could such an extraordinary genius appear?
A talent of this level, it’s indeed logical for him to be the Clan Leader.
Since Jiang Cheng is the Witch Division’s Clan Leader, he indeed has the qualification to intervene in this affair.
Yet Brother Cheng found it difficult to laugh.
Girl, what do you mean by I’m your person?
That sentence sounds like I’m under your protection, how embarrassing.
"Alright then! Since you’re the Witch Division’s Clan Leader, hand over the Bone Refining Banner!"
Zhan Ying extended his hand yet again.
"To resist the True Immortals, surely you won’t refuse, right?"
"Unless you want to disregard the safety of all cultivators in the Lower Realm and only think about internal strife!"
Another big hat was pushed down.
If you don’t agree, you’re ungracious and disregarding the big picture.
"Despicable!"
Qingsuo and Lan Ti were inwardly resentful, clearly seeing through his intentions but unable to refute him.
Then they heard Sect Leader Jiang say something unexpected.
"You’re absolutely right."
"I also think the Nine Treasures uniting is a brilliant proposal."
Hey, which side are you on?
Why are you speaking for the opposite side?
Lan Ti, both angry and anxious, quickly used a sound transmission to him secretly.
"You must not be deceived, the so-called Nine Treasures uniting is just to accomplish the Immortal Slayer Spear!"
"Afterward, the Bone Refining Banner and Heart-Piercing Awl will both be damaged, and he very likely won’t return them to you either."
Brother Cheng nodded to indicate he received the message.
"Hahaha, Sect Leader Jiang truly understands the greater good!"
Zhan Ying also discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried this kid would be opposed to him.
"Since you also agree with the Nine Treasures uniting, quickly hand over the Bone Refining Banner then."
Brother Cheng looked bewildered, "Why should I hand it over?"
Zhan Ying’s face darkened, "Sect Leader Jiang, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to go back on your word?"
"Go back on what?"
Jiang Cheng put the Bone Refining Banner away, pointing at his Immortal Slayer Spear, "Aren’t you going to fast hand over the Immortal Slayer Spear and the other Magical Treasures to me? Let me host this Trapping and Killing Array?"
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
Indeed, they had nothing to say.
The uniting of the Nine Treasures isn’t necessarily limited to being under the War Division.
Under the Witch Division, it also makes sense.
The reason everyone defaulted to handing it over to Zhan Ying was just because he was the strongest among the Nine Divisions.
If Jiang Cheng was stronger...
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingsuo immediately declared,
"Our Heart Division fully supports Sect Leader Jiang!"
"Willing to hand over the Heart-Piercing Awl for him to use!"
Zhan Ying almost spat out blood from anger.
I asked you to hand it over, and you were being so obstructive.
Jiang Cheng hadn’t even asked you to hand it over, yet you’re proactively offering it to him?
"Outrageous, thinking of having me hand over the Immortal Slayer Spear, you’re dreaming!"
Brother Cheng was surprised, "So, you plan to disregard the big picture? Go against everyone?"
"When asking others to hand over their Magical Treasures, you said it so smoothly. Now when it’s your turn to hand it over, you can’t take it?"
You’re good at using the greater good to put a hat on others, so now I’m giving it back, why don’t you take it well.
At that moment, no matter the experts from each Great Domain or other tribe members, when looking at the War Division, their perspectives carried a bit of subtlety.
Zhan Ying could no longer bear it, and the golden glow of the Immortal Slayer Spear suddenly swelled at that moment!
