Free Web NovelChapter 1980: Chapter 1972: Empty Promises
"Indeed, when Huang Xiaolong is unable to produce so many lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones, we will incite some of these super sects behind the scenes; these super sects will surely detest Huang Xiaolong." Hillri laughed, "Perhaps these super sects, in their resentment, will turn to support us, and Huang Xiaolong would have done us a great service!"
"That’s right, Huang Xiaolong is bringing about his own destruction!" An Si and others laughed as well.
More than a month passed.
Although many did not believe that Huang Xiaolong could produce such a large number of lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones, there were still some super sects who believed.
Soon, news spread that Jingyang Pope led forces to support the Bright Knight Army and immediately received two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!
The news caused a ripple of disturbance.
"Hmph, just two hundred million; even our Light God City could easily provide that." Bright Emperor Lan Zhi sneered, "There’s nothing surprising about it, and the Jingyang Church, among the many super sects in the Bright God Realm, ranks only about twentieth."
However, a few days after the Jingyang Church, more news spread.
"Ice Sea Church has turned to support the Bright Knight Army, obtaining two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
The Ice Sea Church ranks seventeenth among the many super sects in the Bright God Realm!
And two days later.
"Flame Crossing Church has turned to support the Bright Knight Army, receiving two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
Almost every two days, news surfaced of a super sect turning to support the Bright Knight Army under Huang Xiaolong, immediately earning two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones.
Soon, in a little over two months, nine super sects had pledged allegiance to the Bright Knight Army!
Nine super sects, totaling eighteen hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!
When Huang Xiaolong truly presented the eighteen hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones, the entire Bright God Realm went mad, rumbling with excitement.
"What?! How could Huang Xiaolong possibly have so many lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!" Dunei roared in Light God City, his face filled with anger and frustration.
Nine super sects, among which one ranks in the top ten! Though the nine super sects were not enough to make Light God City wary, the combined power of the nine super sects was certainly not to be underestimated.
Moreover, it had only been a little over two months, with more than a month remaining of the four-month period. It was feared that more super sects would race to pledge their allegiance to Huang Xiaolong!
Bright Emperor Lan Zhi forced a smile, "Huang Xiaolong acquired the Hell Master Treasure, the World Ancestor Treasure, and he destroyed the Evil God Emperor Palace in the past, obtaining the Evil God Treasure. Presumably, he sold a considerable amount of these treasures over the years to barely gather this eighteen hundred million. But beyond this, he certainly can’t produce more; he’s bound to embarrass himself soon!"
But the next day, more news spread.
"Sky Extreme Church has pledged allegiance to the Bright Knight Army, obtaining two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
Sky Extreme Church ranks in the top five among the Bright God Realm’s super sects!
The news caused an even greater frenzy.
This time, many top ten, even top five, top three super sects couldn’t stay calm.
When Sky Extreme Church pledged allegiance to the Bright Knight Army, at the Taiyuan Church Headquarters, the Great Hall was silent.
Previously mocking Huang Xiaolong’s inability to produce so many lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones, Taiyuan Archbishop Qierda and others sat awkwardly, feeling profoundly uncomfortable.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves; tomorrow, you will go with me to Ten Thousand Spirit City." Taiyuan Pope stood up and spoke.
"Pope Your Majesty." At that moment, Qierda stood up and said, "Should we reconsider? Even if more than a dozen super sects have pledged allegiance to Huang Xiaolong, he may not be a match for Light God City. I’ve heard that Light God City has gained the support of several vice deans from Moon Worship Academy!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Brother Qierda, is your information reliable?" A bishop couldn’t help but ask.
Qierda nodded, "Absolutely reliable!"
"If Light God City receives support from several vice deans of Moon Worship Academy, then the winning side will surely be Light God City!" Bishop Wei Bai calmly analyzed.
Qierda said to Taiyuan Pope, "Therefore, Pope Your Majesty, we should not pledge allegiance to the Bright Knight Army, nor to Huang Xiaolong. Although two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones are tempting, there’s no point in having them if we won’t live to spend them!"
Taiyuan Pope’s eyes flickered; initially, he had decided to pledge allegiance to the Bright Knight Army, but did not anticipate several vice deans of Moon Worship Academy supporting Light God City.
"So, you mean maintain neutrality or pledge allegiance to Light God City?" Taiyuan Pope hesitated.
Qierda nodded, "Indeed, Senior Bai Yue hasn’t been seen for countless billions of years. Currently, Moon Worship Academy is primarily governed by several vice deans. With Light God City gaining their support, it’s equivalent to having the entire Moon Worship Academy’s support. If we were to pledge allegiance, it would be to Light God City!"
...
Just as more super sects were pledging allegiance to the Bright Knight Army, supporting Huang Xiaolong, suddenly news spread within the Bright God Realm that Dunei of Light God City received collective support from several vice deans of Moon Worship Academy.
Suddenly, many super sects originally planning to rush to Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Mansion and pledge allegiance to the Bright Knight Army halted, starting to hesitate like Taiyuan Church.
Then, Dunei of Light God City declared, "Whichever super sect pledges allegiance to my Light God City, after we destroy the Bright Knight Army and Huang Xiaolong, all the treasures of the Bright Knight Army and Huang Xiaolong will be divided among all the super sects!"
As expected, the Bright God Realm stirred; some super sects originally planning to pledge allegiance to the Bright Knight Army now turned their direction, pledging allegiance to Light God City.
When Eran reported this news to Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong sneered, "Dunei is making empty promises, yet some actually believe him."
Eran shook his head, "Primarily because several vice deans of Moon Worship Academy support Dunei, causing wavering faith, leading them to turn to him. However, if this continues, the situation may become unfavorable for us."
Huang Xiaolong sneered, "Just empty promises; anyone can say them. Release a message, saying once we destroy Light God City, their treasure will also be divided among the super sects who come to support us. Additionally, within three years, after we destroy Light God City, those who come to our aid will receive another two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones!"
Eran gasped, "Another, another two hundred million lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones?!"
Huang Xiaolong laughed, "What, reluctant to part with them? Don’t worry, it’s just lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones." Having broken through to the Emperor Realm, Huang Xiaolong could now convert lower grade Chaos Spiritual Stones; he lacked nothing more than these stones.
"I asked you to arrange an identity for me at Moon Worship Academy; how’s that going?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
Eran replied respectfully, "It has been arranged. Lord of Realm plans to go to Moon Worship Academy in the coming days?"
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
