Chapter 1291: Thrown Away Directly
The reason Brother Cheng rushed out was simple, he sensed their arrival using his divine thought.
He didn’t recognize the others, but he certainly knew Silver Quan Daoist Venerable.
This was like discovering a supreme treasure; he had finally lured out the Heaven-breaking Alliance?
Meanwhile, Daoist Venerable Lin Jing, Three-Eyed Tiger, Ming Jia Daoist Venerable and others, upon seeing him collect the spoils and suddenly rush out, thought something was wrong.
As the group charged outside, it was like throwing a stone into a dense forest, startling all the birds in the trees.
The Daoist Venerables from the Heaven-breaking Alliance, upon seeing Jiang Cheng approach, were almost scared out of their wits.
They hastily scattered and fled.
Brother Cheng was anxious.
"Don’t run!"
"Hey, hey, it’s rare for you all to come!"
His combat power was strong, but after all, he wasn’t a true Daoist Venerable.
This group of Daoist Venerables was fast; if he had to chase them, catching one or two would be quite lucky.
This wasn’t what Brother Cheng wanted.
"Wait for me!"
"Weren’t you here to kill me? You’ve come all this way, why are you running?"
His heartfelt plea had no effect.
The Daoist Venerables of the Heaven-breaking Alliance even fled faster.
Do you think we’re fools? You have the Holy Soul; should we stay and wait to die?
Most importantly, you’re holding the Hundred Battle Order.
Who dares not to run when faced with this token?
The fastest runner was Yuan Ke Daoist Saint!
Luckily, the challenging distance for this token requires being within a certain range, or else he’d be in despair.
Brother Cheng realized this wouldn’t work.
At this rate, he might never catch them.
He couldn’t stay rooted in Duan Yang Dao forever, and if he left, Mowu Sect would face the revenge of Heaven-breaking Alliance and Yuan Ke Daoist Saint.
He must deal with them ahead of time!
"If necessary, I won’t use the Hundred Battle Order, alright?"
While chasing, he started yelling.
"I promise, really, Brother’s word is trustworthy!"
Those fleeing laughed coldly in their hearts.
You think we’ll believe you just because you say so?
Do you think we’re as gullible as toddlers?
Seeing that none of them trusted his credibility, Brother Cheng, in desperation, suddenly flung the Hundred Battle Order far away.
This throw was enhanced with space and speed’s profound patterns.
It directly transmitted the Hundred Battle Order in front of the fleeing group.
The group was running when suddenly a red light flashed ahead.
Some hadn’t even realized what it was, and swerved around it.
However, someone eventually grabbed it by reflex.
Silver Quan Daoist Venerable was incredulous when he first saw the red light.
The Hundred Battle Order?
Impossible, right?
Who would throw away the Hundred Battle Order once they got it?
But when he really grabbed it and felt its tangible form, he realized the shape indeed matched the Hundred Battle Order.
"Is this real?"
His mind was in turmoil.
He carefully traced along its surface and sensed the unique aura on the token.
Even he, vastly experienced, couldn’t help but gasp.
"Oh my God..."
As he continued his escape, a thrill of joy surged through him.
Behind him, Jiang Cheng had already stopped.
Three-Eyed Tiger Yan Yi, Fan Lei, Lin Jing, and others gradually caught up.
Everyone also witnessed the earlier scene.
Thus, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Sect Leader Jiang.
"Oh no, the Hundred Battle Order slipped from my hand."
Brother Cheng feigned a shout of surprise.
The corners of their mouths twitched; did he really expect them to believe he didn’t throw it intentionally?
Lin Jing, Ming Jia and the likes dared not question Sect Leader Jiang, blind in their trust towards him.
However, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable had no such reservations.
"Are you out of your mind?"
He waved his arms, almost losing control of his expression.
"Throwing the Hundred Battle Order to the enemy?"
"Can it get any more absurd?"
"Are you deliberately seeking death?"
Jiang Cheng thought, you guessed it right.
All the way, it was either looking for death or on the way to find death.
Unfortunately, fewer people are offering this service.
Three-Eyed Tiger was also exasperated.
"Brother, just how much do you dislike that Hundred Battle Order?"
"If you hate it so much, why not give it to me?"
"We’re brothers. Let me be the good guy and keep it for you instead of tossing it away like trash."
Jiang Cheng was also frustrated with these two.
"It’s been thrown already, what can you do about it?"
"I’ll decide what to do with my token!"
With that, he sat down cross-legged.
He believed they wouldn’t disappoint him and would surely come.
On the other side, the members of Heaven-breaking Alliance discovered Jiang Cheng wasn’t chasing anymore and continued fleeing like startled birds for a while.
Only after a long time did they finally stop.
"That scared me to death."
"Yeah, that kid said something about not using the Hundred Battle Order."
"He’s not even good at lying, thinking we’d fall for it so easily?"
"He really wasn’t lying."
Silver Quan Daoist Venerable leisurely moved to the center of the group.
This surprised the others.
Silver Quan wasn’t originally a member of the Heaven-breaking Alliance. He only joined them after offending Jiang Cheng in a sect challenge.
He was a loner, marginalized in this group.
This time, he stood tall with confidence.
"This Jiang Cheng is the most arrogant and bold I’ve ever seen."
He raised his chin slightly and surveyed those present.
"I’d like to hear your thoughts on what to do next."
Many frowned.
This sounded odd, as if he’s the leader of the group, chairing a meeting.
Those with a temper immediately mocked him.
"Silver Quan, why put on airs?"
"It’s not your place to speak here!"
"In front of Yuan Ke Daoist Saint, do you dare to take the lead?"
"Who do you think you are... Alright, I admit you have leadership traits..."
The speaker’s eyes followed Silver Quan’s right hand, almost hypnotized.
In that right hand, a vivid red token was gripped!
"The Hundred Battle Order!"
"It really is the Hundred Battle Order!"
Every Daoist Venerable present exploded with excitement.
Even Yuan Ke Daoist Saint, who was smirking and sneering at Silver Quan before, jumped up.
"How did the Hundred Battle Order end up in your hands?"
He stared intently at the token, eyes filled with intense greed.
Judging by how desperately people wanted the Hundred Battle Order, Yuan Ke Daoist Saint would be in the top ranks of those who wanted it.
As the only Daoist Saint in Duan Yang Dao, the top expert, he never became the ultimate leader because of the Hundred Battle Order.
Managed by Heaven-breaking Alliance and Jiang Cheng, he wanted it but couldn’t get it, not even a glimpse of its shadow.
Now, it was finally within his grasp; naturally, his excitement was palpable.
"Of course, I got it from Jiang Cheng," Silver Quan Daoist Venerable said blandly.
