Chapter 325: Unexpected Surprise
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Finally the three factions stopped their fight and formed an interdependent alliance.
Naturally, everything was based on the condition that each of them had equal strength. If any one party didn't possess sufficient strength, then what interdependent alliance, everything would be just a joke.
If you don't possess enough strength to stand on the same level, then what use are you? Why would they leave you alive and increase the competition?
This was the outlook of Man Tian and the others. Their reasoning was simple : only the powerful have the right to speak. Once this was established, no twists or turns happened anymore.
Although the three factions had formed a temporary alliance, it was very weak. All the three parties in it were extremely clear that this so-called alliance wasn't reliable and had only one purpose.
It was that when any one of the three parties encountered a deadly crises, the other two would provide support. This was the baseline of this frail alliance.
As for how much assistance each side would provide? Regarding this question, whether it was Man Tian or Ji Wuxin or even Li Yunmu, none of them had much expectations. In truth, this was mostly just a temporary truce between the three sides.
After settling on this, the factions exchanged their contact details and used summoning treasures like red crystal crane to connect with each other.
With this method, all three of them kept the location of their base camp concealed while at the same time gaining a way to contact each other at a crucial time.
Before long, Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang, whose both arms had been torn off, finally stopped bleeding. His injury improved swiftly, and Li Yunmu was absolutely certain that with the reserves of the three barbarians, Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang would be able to regrow new arms in no time.
The barbarians were feeling quite vexed and took the initiative to leave first.
This time, given that all three sides had displayed a certain amount of strength, the three barbarians didn't have any other plans and left without any hesitation.
Ji Wuxin, Zhan Wuya and Luo Tian's hearts were also filled with many emotions. Zhan Wuya was especially irked. Since he was a disciple of War God Temple, it was completely out of his expectations that Battle God would hand over his Barbarian Battle Deity Suit to Ji Wuxin.
This could imply only one thing, and even an idiot could understand it clearly. Right away, Zhan Wuya's previous arrogance dissipated and he turned completely silent. Even when Ji Wuxin represented War God Temple in the alliance, he didn't interfere much.
After this major blow, he seemed to have completely yielded the authority to Ji Wuxin. While as for what he thought in his heart, Li Yunmu wasn't the least bit interested to know. It was Ji Wuxin's headache.
In truth, Ji Wuxin was indeed having quite a bit of trouble. Originally, she had hid behind Zhan Wuya, taking the role of assistant. But because of Li Yunmu who had forced the three barbarians to reveal their Hegemonic Deity Suit, her act was also blown apart.
At that moment, not only had she put herself in the forefront, from then onward, her every action would be analyzed by the descenders of her Earth with a magnifying glass. Similarly, she had also struck the heart of Zhan Wuya, her senior apprentice brother, until it was all cracked.
Ji Wuxin was fuming with rage, but all of it had already happened. She could only pick up the flag of War God Temple and walk forward.
Even if she was to face many dangers from that. Not only had she been forced to reveal her status, she would now also have to guard against her senior brother. In addition, there was also Luo Tian who had concealed his intentions so far and hadn't revealed any of his foundation.
Suddenly, she discovered that among all of them, Li Yunmu was the greatest winner. He had no hidden dangers by his side. Regardless of whether it was Li Qinghong or Demon, both of them were his followers.
Furthermore, after based on the combat potential revealed by Li Qinghong, it was clear that she would become a formidable enemy in the future. Regarding this, Ji Wuxin was both envious and full of admiration.
"I must admit that I had underestimated you greatly. After learning this lesson, if possible, I don't wish to become your enemy in the future."
She had been thoroughly tormented by Li Yunmu's strength, so before leaving, she left this sentence. As for Zhan Wuya, he seemed to have lost all vitality.
His head was lowered when he entered the transfer channel, and he didn't look at Li Yunmu's group with an arrogant expression like before. If Luo Tian had been deliberately trying to suppress his existence earlier, then presently, Zhan Wuya seemed to have lost everything. His personality underwent a huge change.
However, Li Yunmu was aware that the more this person acted like this, the more he cared about this matter. Given how much he cared about it, this arrogant person would definitely become a wild variable in the future.
Li Yunmu could feel Ji Wuxin's upcoming struggles. With Luo Tian together with Zhan Wuya, how would she be able to manage them?
But all this was unrelated to him.
"Becoming my enemy or not depends on your choices. The only certain thing is that next time, I won't hold back," Li Yunmu told her while watching as the three people left through the transfer channel.
At that time, he and his followers finally became certain that the entire Nine Dragon Cave had fallen into their hands and all the other descenders squads had departed.
"Good, everyone has left, now speak, what did you discover these days?"
Li Yunmu's group of three calmly sat down on the ground near the transfer channel.
"Ye Qing didn't really die," Li Qinghong suddenly said.
"What?"
When Li Yunmu heard it, he almost fell on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Hearing Li Qinghong's words, Li Yunmu's soul was greatly shaken.
Previously, many factions had struggled over authority to determine Ye Qing's fate because it was extremely possible that he held many secrets about origin world obtained by Divine Religion.
However, at that time, Li Qinghong had acted firmly and pierced his heart with one stab, ending the struggle between the descenders. Otherwise, the first person to suffer would have definitely been Li Yunmu. And after that, it was highly possible that the other descenders would have began a major internal strife over their prisoner.
And now, Li Qinghong was saying that Ye Qing hadn't died completely?
If Li Yunmu wasn't counting wrong, then Li Qinghong had been hiding this secret for half a year. Only now, when it was completely safe, she finally informed her master, Li Yunmu, about it.
He knew well that she had acted correctly. Hiding this secret even from her master was the safest course of action.
"When I stabbed him to death, I sensed that there was something wrong with my frightening imperial spear. I could sense it had become a little heavier compared to before." Li Qinghong took a deep breath. "Later that day, seeing that everyone's attention was concentrated on master, I found Demon for a secret investigation."
