Chapter 1499: Fighting Side by Side
someone else will know."The scholar extended his hand before the old man and said, "Alright, an hour has passed now. The five demon pills, hand them over!"The old man was taken aback, then suddenly h..."This time, the disciples of my Shan Hai Fen Zong are here! Come on up!"
Gingercloud completely ignored his own words and the shock they brought to everyone around him. Instead, he turned around and looked at the people from the Shanhai Branch Sect!
Not to mention that others were shocked by Jiang Yun's words, even the over three thousand disciples of the Shan Hai Fen Zong were equally so!
However, when they saw the trusting gaze in Ginger Cloud's eyes, there was no hesitation whatsoever. One hundred disciples who had already been designated for the competition jumped onto the stage all at once.
Besides Xia Zhongxing being in a coma, ninety-nine people stood behind Jiang Yun.
Among these people, there were some that Jiang Yun knew very well, such as Lan Huashowa and Mei Yusheng, but there were also many disciples whose names Jiang Yun couldn't recall.
But at this moment, they all had only one identity, that of a disciple of the Shan Hai branch, a fellow disciple of Jiang Yun!
Although they were indeed very much looking forward to fighting alongside Jiang Yun and sharing some of the pressure for him, helping their Shanhai Fenzong get justice, they were also worried that their appearance would hold Jiang Yun back and that they might lose the competition.
However, Jiang Yun's warm gaze swept across everyone before he gave them a slight smile: "It's been a long time since we've fought side by side!"
In a single sentence, all the anxiety and worry in people's hearts were dispelled, making them feel as if they had returned to the world of Shan Hai before the cataclysmic event!
Even, Jiang Yun didn't even ask them if they had diligently practiced the formations he had taught them over these years, because Jiang Yun believed in them, just as they trusted Jiang Yun.
Ginger Cloud wouldn't let down all the disciples of the Shan Hai Fen Zong, and they felt the same way.
That's true indeed!
Over the years, they have never stopped practicing formations for a single day. And because in this grand competition, group battles are their only chance of victory, ever since they arrived at Wentaotian, everyone among them has been training even harder in formations!
Jiang Yun's gaze once again swept over the surroundings and he said, "Alright, our Shan Hai branch has prepared itself. All of you branches that bullied us in the past, aren't you coming up now!"
At this moment, everyone was stunned again, even Dan Daozi, Di Xinghe, and Dongfang Bo were no exception!
Looking at these disciples, their cultivation levels are uneven. The highest realm is only Heavenly Venerable, while the weakest is just a disciple of the Shan Hai branch from the Dao Spirit Realm. If it were before Jiang Yun appeared, all the spectators would definitely laugh at them without hesitation.
With such skill, even if there were hundreds, or even thousands, it wouldn't be worth watching.
In their opinion, Jiang Yun was arrogant enough on his own, after all, he had the qualifications to be arrogant. However, he actually brought a hundred disciples of the Shanhai Branch Sect along with him to act arrogantly.
Combat between cultivators doesn't rely on numerical superiority.
Even if the strength of everyone is almost equal, there will still be various situations when fighting against enemies. For example, fighting individually can lead to dispersed combat power.
Not to mention, under the circumstances where one's own strength far surpasses that of their companions, leading everyone into battle would be akin to courting disaster.
These weak disciples would become a burden, leading to eventual defeat.
Even figures like the heads of various great Daoist sects, such as Dan Daozi, couldn't conceive of something so outrageous!
Although they had a certain understanding of Ginger Cloud's strength, they truly didn't know how he had led 300,000 disciples safely to the Desolate Realm. Nor did they know that Ginger Cloud had once fought against the Temple of Gods within the Illusory Realm, alongside the members of the Wilderness Clan.
Just then, a disciple from the branch sect rose to his feet and addressed the head elder who had long since retreated to the side and was watching the competition with cold eyes. "Elder," he said, "I wonder if such a method is in accordance with the rules"
Chang Lao smiled and said, "Since Jiang Yun and Shan Hai have no objections, then you may do as you please!"
Now this elder has completely given up on hosting this grand competition. He simply can't do anything about Jiang Yun.
And since even Heaven itself has recognized Jiang Yun's challenge, then why not indulge him and see what kind of outcome ultimately appears.
More importantly, through Jiang Yun's series of actions and the background behind him, this elder and other high-level members of the Wendaozhuzong finally realized the importance of Jiang Yun.
Such a disciple would inevitably be one that every sect would strive to acquire and focus on cultivating.
It's because previously, they had tacitly allowed other branches to bully the Shan Hai branch, causing Jiang Yun to harbor resentment towards the main sect. So, why not take this opportunity to provide Jiang Yun with as much convenience as possible It would be a way to appease him and let him cool off. After the competition, we can then talk to him amicably.
Therefore, as long as what Ginger Cloud does is not too excessive, then from now on, no one within the entire Daoist Master Sect will interfere with his actions.
Even, in the opinion of other elders, Dao Tianyun's agreement to Jiang Yun's challenge should be attributed to this idea.
With the elders' approval, one by one figures rose from the surrounding seats and rushed frantically towards the competition stage.
……
To face off against Jiang Yun alone, perhaps these branch sects truly didn't have the courage to send anyone up. But as everyone assumed, facing off against the Shanhai Branch Sect's hundred people, they still had the guts.
Even if Jiang Yun is strong, capable of fighting hundreds or even thousands at once, as long as a disciple of the Shan Hai Fen Zong is in danger, Jiang Yun will inevitably save them.
By then, everyone would naturally be able to attack dispersedly, and they would definitely overwhelm Jiang Yun with attacks.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of figures had appeared densely on the platform.
"Great Spirits, Divide!"
"Zen Machine Sects!"
……
And as each faction successively announced their names, the final outcome inevitably made all onlookers shake their heads and sigh with wry smiles.
Because there are now seventy-six sub-sects that have come up, and each sub-sect has a hundred disciples, it means there are as many as seven thousand six hundred people.
Among them, even included were two powerful Daotai experts!
The strongest Heavenly Luck Sect, however, did not appear. They probably consider themselves too high-status to win against fewer opponents and join such a competition.
After all, even if you win, it's not something to be proud of.
Clearly, they are sending over 7,000 disciples to deal with the one hundred members of the Shan Hai Branch, and the two Dao Stage experts are specifically here to deal with Jiang Yun!
"This time, Jiang Yun's actions are a bit excessive. It's very possible that not only will the disciples of his Shan Hai Fen Zong suffer losses, but he himself might even lose the battle!"
Even if they lost, it didn't matter much. To be able to fight against over seven thousand people with just over a hundred, the Jiangyun and Shanhai factions were considered honorable in defeat.
For such a confrontation, no bystander believed that Jiang Yun and Shan Hai would win because the gap in strength was too great.
Even the 100 men of the Shan Hai Fen Zong felt a renewed sense of tension.
However, Ginger Cloud remained expressionless, as if there were only seventy or so people before him instead of over seven thousand.
At first, within the illusory realm, Jiang Yun led his initial squad of nine against tens of thousands. Naturally, he wouldn't care about the scene before him now.
Even then, after looking at the people in front of him, he spoke again: "Are there any other branches Come all together, the rest of the branches!"
This sentence would make most people think that Ginger Cloud is throwing in the towel, that since she's already come up this much, a few more sects don't matter.
However, the remaining factions were almost all Tier 5 factions, and they had never bullied the Shan Hai faction. Besides, after witnessing Jiang Yun's strength, who would dare to take the stage at this time!
Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze and nodded. "If there's none, set up the formation!"
