Chapter 93 Alliance
Zhang Lingyu remained silent. The other party had already been so direct; they simply wanted to invite her to join the group of five.
The person with the highest cultivation level in the entire group was none other than Chen Yifeng, while the remaining Lin Fenghan, Lin Fengyun, and others were only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, whereas the Blood Dragon Stronghold had everyone at the peak of Qi Refining.
With one less person, the outcome is predictable.
With his addition, the pressure on the entire team will be greatly reduced.
After a few moments of silence, he asked, "What is the reward?"
"A Cloud Dream Glazed Fruit, plus the ability for you to safely leave this Jade Spirit Valley Secret Realm—isn't that a very good deal?"
Chen Yifeng was very satisfied with Zhang Lingyu's compromise. As long as the other party agreed, the success rate of seizing the spirit tree was 70%.
"Brother wants to recruit this person into our group?"
The woman beside him hadn't expected this deal to be proposed. Although the current situation presented the perfect opportunity to win someone over, the addition of an outsider would make the team feel very insecure.
"I agree."
Before Chen Yifeng could speak, another member of the Chen family immediately agreed.
Lin Fenghan and Lin Fengyun both nodded.
The Lin and Chen families have been linked by marriage for generations. Before this trip, the elders in the family had instructed them to follow Chen Yifeng's orders.
This condition would have been readily agreed to by anyone else, but Zhang Lingyu was in no hurry at all, and asked with a smile:
"There are only five of these Cloud Dream Glazed Fruits. If you give me one, there will only be four left. Fellow Daoist, there are five of you. Are you really willing to part with them?"
After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at everyone.
Chen Yifeng pondered for a moment and replied, "To be honest, our two families' goal is this spirit tree; we don't care about the spirit fruits or anything like that."
"If you are willing to help, I am willing to add another third-tier spiritual item."
"My Blood Dragon Stronghold is also willing to offer this condition, plus one more Cloud Dream Glazed Fruit."
Seeing that the situation was starting to turn unfavorable, Dong Yang also spoke up and put forward his own conditions.
They had already witnessed Zhang Lingyu's abilities; he was no ordinary person. If they had attacked together, things would have been fine...
But if it falls into Chen Yifeng's hands, things will become difficult.
In an instant, Zhang Lingyu became a highly sought-after figure.
"Fellow Daoist, don't listen to them!"
Upon hearing this, the woman from the Chen family said urgently:
"There's no good in Blood Dragon Stronghold. I'm afraid you won't get the goods, and you might even lose your life."
Having decided to support Chen Yifeng's decision, she naturally did not want to see him join Dong Yang's side.
"You little bitch, you're talking nonsense!"
The Blood Dragon Stronghold members were filled with anger, and all sorts of foul language came out of their mouths, but the woman remained unmoved, only looking at them with a cold smile.
"Fellow Daoist, what's your decision?"
Chen Yifeng wasn't afraid that the other party wouldn't agree; he believed they would choose him over Blood Dragon Stronghold.
"Alright, I agree, Fellow Daoist Chen."
As he expected, Zhang Lingyu indeed agreed.
"Fellow Daoist, your righteousness is boundless!"
Everyone was excited, but the Blood Dragon Stronghold members looked grim. Since things had developed this way, they had no choice but to kill them all.
Dong Yang secretly transmitted his voice:
"Ma Chenfeng, Qi Tao, you two go and retrieve the spirit tree. Jiang Chen, Zhao Lang, Qi Ming, and I will deal with them. Remember, run immediately after you get it!"
"clear!"
Having worked together for a long time, they naturally had a great understanding and began to act immediately.
Seeing two figures from Blood Dragon Stronghold heading straight for the Spirit Tree, Chen Yifeng immediately ordered, "Lin Fenghan and Lin Fengyun, go and stop those two. The rest of you, fight alongside me."
After saying that, he took out a folding fan from his sleeve, waved it lightly, and two bright wind blades flew towards Ma Chenfeng and the other person.
Although he managed to activate his protective spiritual shield in time, his speed still dropped sharply, allowing the Lin brothers to catch up and engage him in a fierce battle.
"A foundation-building artifact, and of a fairly high grade."
Zhang Lingyu secretly observed that these powerful forces probably each had a Foundation Establishment magic artifact in order to successfully seize the Spirit Tree. In contrast, the Zhang family, which had been passed down for generations, only had four [Zhaoming] artifacts in recent years.
"Fortunately, I still have the Blazing Flame Pearl."
After dealing with Chen Xuanyun, the magic artifact naturally fell into his hands. On the way here, the mark had been completely erased and it belonged to him.
As for the remaining dish, it's not needed for now.
Given the current situation, he won't use the three puppets; that's a killer move. Whether they can pull off a lucky break depends on them.
"Boom!"
In the distance, Chen Yifeng and Dong Yang had already clashed. Both were at the peak of the Qi Refining stage and were leaders, so they fought fiercely and evenly, with no clear winner in the short term.
Jiang Chen was the one rushing towards him.
This cultivator had a face full of scars, exuded a murderous aura, and held a long axe in his hand; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Chen was naturally filled with murderous intent towards Zhang Lingyu, a rogue cultivator who had rejected his family's proposal, but Dong Yang's reminder made him have to be careful.
"Let's see what you've got up your sleeve!"
"Blood-eating vine."
The moment Zhang Lingyu's toes touched the ground, the soil beneath her feet suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and dozens of scarlet vines emerged from the earth like venomous snakes, carrying a pungent, rusty smell.
It was covered in barbs that kept climbing up his legs.
Purple flames erupted from beneath his feet, and the blood vines only slowed down slightly, showing no signs of disintegration.
"interesting."
Since fire won't work, how about trying thunder?
Lightning hummed in his palm, and countless tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the vines, revealing a dense array of suckers inside.
Each suction cup was contracting and wriggling frantically, spraying out corrosive slime, and blue smoke immediately rose from the sole of the boot.
As the thunderous palm struck, the blood vines instantly turned to ashes.
Thunder is domineering and powerful, suppressing other spells quite a bit, let alone demonic and evil spells.
With the Bloodthirsty Vine destroyed, Jiang Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura began to become somewhat unstable.
This thing is considered a kind of spiritual plant that has gained sentience. It usually grows in dead lands, and there is a special place in Blood Dragon Village for its cultivation.
If a cultivator were to use it, they would need to nurture it with their own blood. Over time, the two would become very close, and even develop a certain spiritual connection.
Once the Bloodthirsty Vine was unleashed, it was difficult for enemies to break free, and they would almost always be drained of their blood and die.
Now that this thing has been destroyed, he will inevitably suffer some injuries.
Damn it.
Jiang Chen cursed under his breath, quickly swallowed a few pills, and swung his long axe fiercely at Zhang Lingyu.
"clang!"
A red umbrella suddenly appeared before him. He thought that this axe strike would send the umbrella flying, but unexpectedly, as soon as the two magical artifacts collided, he was shaken back several steps.
The area between the thumb and index finger of my hand was also throbbing with pain.
"What a sturdy magical artifact."
Jiang Chen, disregarding his shock, quickly steadied himself and slightly deflected a flying sword that came from the side.
However, the Gengjin sword energy on the sword was not easy to deal with. With just one strike, the long axe in his hand emitted a series of mournful cries, clearly having suffered considerable damage.
But what really chilled him to the bone was that Zhang Lingyu appeared in front of him at some point and slapped him hard on the stomach.
