Chapter 1402 - 1402: So It Was You All Along

On one side seven Daoist Saints, on the other eight Daoist Saints, the scene was incredibly thrilling.

Both sides were a bit shocked to see the opposing lineup.

How did the Ice Palace call so many people?

I originally thought I had the advantage, but it turns into a balanced standoff.

"What's with bringing so many experts for a handover? What are you trying to do?"

"And you? I'm asking what you're trying to do!"

Neither side launched an attack immediately.

Because the opponent's lineup was strong, there was little chance of winning.

If a fight broke out, our side would likely suffer losses, the cost is too high.

So, they could only hold their Daoist Artifacts defensively, glaring angrily as they exchanged verbal sparring.

"Betrayal, truly despicable!"

"Are you talking about yourselves?"

"I knew the Ice Palace couldn't be trusted!"

"Our Ice Palace? Ha, even at this point, you're still twisting the truth?"

"Think we wouldn't dare make a move?"

"Think we'll be easy to handle?"

The scene was quite similar to both sides taunting each other, daring them to make the first move.

Actually, neither side wanted to start a war, both claiming they wouldn't dare act.

Because there was no absolute certainty of winning.

Even if the Evil Immortal Realm had more Daoist Saints, the advantage wasn't clear.

Daoist Saints are hard to kill, under normal circumstances none would die, only a waste of effort.

Not worth starting a fight.

And as this stalemate continued for half an hour, Brother Cheng in the shadows couldn't watch anymore.

At this rate, they could argue for a day and not fight?

"What are you guys up to?"

He removed his disguise and swaggered out.

"Not fighting, not leaving, are you here clogging traffic?"

"Can't you show some public spirit?"

Three-Eyed Tiger followed out cursing.

"Exactly, just wasting feelings."

"Thought I'd watch a grand showdown for free, turns out it's just squabbling?"

"And you call yourselves Daoist Saints, I scoff!"

He looked disdainful, as if these two groups of Daoist Saints had embarrassed him.

But Yan Yi behind them was feeling very frustrated.

What are you two doing?

Can't you just hide properly?

It was obvious the Celestial Palace and Evil Immortal Realm had deep misunderstandings, their dialogue on different channels.

With patience, given a slight opportunity, they'd likely end up fighting.

Once they fought, it'd be chaos, with day and night indistinguishable.

Since neither side is good, let them beat each other up, isn't that great?

Why choose to reveal yourselves, and become the target of focus?

Not only was she frustrated, but Yuan Guang Daoist Saint and the experts from the Ice Palace observing from afar with Immortal Artifacts were also frustrated.

What is the Supreme Palace Master trying to do?

Why come out early?

This doesn't match the original plan!

Wasn't the agreement to let them kill each other, weaken both, then strike?

"What do we do now?"

Feeling lost, they looked to Gong Qing for guidance.

The latter was also a bit helpless.

But luckily, she had seen enough of Brother Cheng's unpredictable actions back in the Ice Realm, she was used to it.

"Keep waiting, every decision by the Supreme Palace Master has meaning."

Yuan Guang secretly grumbled in his heart.

What meaning can such a foolish decision have?

The fifteen Daoist Saints who were originally arguing all stopped.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and Yan Yi, as well as Three-Eyed Tiger suddenly lively before them, they were all wide-eyed.

Both sides puzzled.

Wasn't it said Jiang Cheng and Yan Yi were already killed?

How are they still alive?

King Shi was the first to jump up.

Pointing at Ancient Qi Daoist Saint opposite, he cursed loudly.

"I knew you Ice Palace people are untrustworthy!"

"Weren't you supposed to eliminate them? What do you say now?"

He still thought the other side was from the Ice Palace.

Similarly, Shengjue Daoist Saint of the Evil Immortal Realm was furious.

"You dare to deflect blame!"

"We wanted their heads, yet you left them alive!"

"Do you expect us to assassinate them ourselves?"

"No credibility aside, calling us Ice Palace?"

"What kind of ridiculous sect, daring to act without acknowledging, so vile!"

Even the Evil Immortals found such behavior vile, showing how excessive it was.

Seeing both sides ignoring him and arguing again, Brother Cheng couldn't take it.

"Alright, alright, aren't you tired?"

"Just drop the pretense."

Both sides continued pretending, wanting to hide their identities.

"What pretense?"

"Nonsense!"

Brother Cheng directly pointed at King Shi's nose.

"Aren't you from the Celestial Palace, King Shi?"

"And you, Prince Yi, right?"

"Alright, alright, we're all old acquaintances, no need to be strangers!"

He then turned to the eight Daoist Saints behind him.

"Evil Immortal Realm, huh?"

"No need to hide, unless you're embarrassed by your looks?"

With those identities exposed, the atmosphere on site became even more interesting.

"What? You're actually from the Celestial Palace?"

"You're from the Evil Immortal Realm?"

As King Shi angrily reverted to his true form, he cursed at Ancient Qi Evil Immortal.

"Goodness, turns out it's you, Ancient Qi the old miser!"

"Turns out it's you Celestial Palace hypocrites!"

"Ha, wasn't there an agreement not to target the bet participants? What are you doing?"

"And you think you aren't doing the same?"

"I scoff!"

Hiring assassins was meant to be underhanded.

Once discovered by the opponent, it meant losing the bet.

But the problem was, the opponent hired assassins too.

And they both used the same service.

In the end, who lost?

Really hard to say.

"You hired assassins, that's cheating, you lose the bet!"

"Speaking as if you didn't hire any."

Both sides began mocking each other again, ignoring Brother Cheng and Yan Yi.

Amidst the passionate cursing, they puzzled to themselves.

We're supposed to lose the bet, the opponent was certain to win.

Why did they also hire assassins?

No matter, since the opponent wasn't clean this time, take the opportunity to claim the moral high ground.

"You lose!"

"Clearly, you lose!"

"Alright, alright, calm down everyone!"

Three-Eyed Tiger was also getting a headache from their arguing.

"Despite being Daoist Saints, how embarrassing, lowering your worth, I feel ashamed to be in the same league."

"You may have no shame, but I do."

He came up with a scolding, quietly elevating his own status to the same level as Daoist Saints.

"You don't need to argue, I experienced the whole event, besides I was initially the mediator, most qualified to speak!"

"How about I make a judgment for you?"

Both sides were bewildered by his suggestion, momentarily forgot to rebut, staring blankly at him.

As if they really viewed him as a referee.

"So who wins, who loses according to you?"

"Yes, who do you say wins?"

King Shi said with menace: "You Tiger Demon better wise up, otherwise we Celestial Palace won't spare you!"

Three-Eyed Tiger immediately pulled out a yellow card, giving the old man a warning.

"Daring to intimidate the referee, penalty twenty points!"
