C243 – The Five Major Powers Had Arrived
In the courtyard of the Dragon God Temple, Loong Ling observed the multitude of disciples before her.
She was astounded that after her address, not one disciple chose to leave.
Every disciple remained rigidly in place, their gazes resolute.
“I vow to dedicate my life to the Dragon God Temple!”
Zhao Yun abruptly clenched his fist and bellowed this pledge.
“I vow to dedicate my life to the Dragon God Temple!”
“I vow my life to the Dragon God Temple!”
Subsequently, all the disciples in the courtyard echoed the pledge in unison.
Their voices were so thunderous they reverberated through the skies and beyond the temple’s confines.
This display was a deliberate message to the alliance of the five great powers, signaling their readiness to defend the Dragon God Temple with ferocity.
Loong Ling was moved; she had assumed the disciples might seek self-preservation in face of disaster.
She was surprised by their profound allegiance to the temple, evident in their readiness to make the ultimate sacrifice without a second thought.
“Alright, let’s defend the Dragon God Temple to the very end!”
Stirred by their spirit, Loong Ling felt a surge of adrenaline, her voice echoing powerfully like thunder.
Dugu Lengyue, Zhao Yun, and other members of the Sky Ranking stood out with their determined visages, each a standout among the temple’s many talented disciples.
Promising futures awaited them; given time, they were destined to evolve into formidable masters.
Yet, they opted to remain, pledging their fates to the temple.
“Engage the Temple’s Defense Formation!”
At Loong Ling’s command, the foundation of the Dragon God Temple trembled.
A protective barrier enveloped the temple, activated by an ancient, formidable formation discovered by Invincible Dragon God in a relic site.
This barrier was robust enough to challenge even a warrior at the pinnacle of the Emperor Level.
In the distance, several dark clouds rolled in from the void.
A chilling presence reverberated throughout heaven and earth, casting the ancient city of Yandu under a grim shadow.
Every inhabitant of the ancient city of Yandu sought refuge indoors, trembling with fright.
Suddenly, a group of twelve emerged from the void, with five figures prominently at the forefront.
Center among them was the leader of the Green Cloud Temple, Chen Qingyun, a top-five contender in the rankings of human experts.
Flanking him were the leading experts from four prominent quasi-superpowers.
Their presence suggested they were at least of the Emperor Level in the latter stages.
The aura of Daoist Qingyun was notably the most potent, slightly surpassing that of Loong Ling.
Chen Qingyun had previously been unaware of Loong Ling’s true essence, which restrained him from probing her real power, else he might have uncovered her disguise.
Meanwhile, outside the walls of the ancient city, numerous formidable presences lurked hidden within the void.
These were specialists from various significant factions.
The union of the five great powers to strike at the Dragon God Temple had drawn widespread attention.
A few significant powers also arrived, hoping to claim their share of the spoils.
Loong Ling and the nine Grand Elders of the Dragon God Temple hovered, confronting Chen Qingyun and his group outside the temple.
All possessed the strength of the Emperor Level, allowing them brief levitation despite their inability to fly.
“It turns out you are indeed the counterfeit Invincible Dragon God.”
With a menacing look, Chen Qingyun glared at Loong Ling, his eyes seething with fury.
Having been deceived by Loong Ling’s assumed identity before, he had previously endured the mockery, which led to prolonged ridicule of Qingyun Dao Temple by others.
“I have never claimed to be the true Invincible Dragon God. It’s merely your fear of our Master. You were all too cowardly to confront him while he was alive.”
“And even in the Master’s absence, you remain cowards before the Dragon God Temple!”
