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!”

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!”
