Chapter 1262 - Counterattack, Part Six
Huang Wuji and the others' eyes flickered slightly at Chen Fan's words.
Their failed counterattack had dealt a serious blow to their momentum.
If the Clean-up Alliance pulled another team to their side, they would have five Greater Legends.
Even if Wu Yuan became a Greater Legend, at best, they'd only force a draw in high-end combat power.
But on Chen Fan's battlefield, things would fall apart.
They had few people to begin with. If the Clean-up Alliance found more allies, resistance would become impossible. And judging by the situation, the alliance would likely seek reinforcements to finish them off.
Who wouldn't be moved in the face of such overwhelming benefits?
They had to guard against this.
Huang Wuji said, "Little Junior Brother, please continue."
Chen Fan nodded and continued, Overall, we're not stronger than them. We could resist them for so long because we have several immortal artifacts. They're the foundation of our strength, and why we can fight many with few.
"But that only goes so far. Immortal artifacts are powerful. They allowed First Senior Brother and the others to take on three or four opponents at once. But if their numbers keep growing, we won't hold out. Plus, using those artifacts burns through a massive amount of true primeval. We have to finish this fast. If they drag it out, exhaustion will destroy us.
"We all know our strength is solid, but it's not enough to ignore the numbers gap. The assembly ends in about fifteen days. Apart from annihilating the alliance, we want every one of us to reach a thousand feet of immortal affinity, open the door of immortality, and ascend!"
Chen Fan's words caused Cao Yin, Lu Xiu, and the others' blood to boil, and their gazes turned fiery.
If they hadn't united as tightly as a rope, the alliance would've wiped them out long ago.
Previously, all they thought about was revenge. Now, revenge was within reach, and they also had a shot at opening the door of immortality.
This was the ultimate goal of everyone present.
"However, our current reality is grim. Our chances of revenge are slim, and reaching a thousand feet of immortal affinity is even less likely. We're simply not strong enough. So, we need an ally.
"I'm sure everyone knows of the situation outside. People have teamed up with others from their continents and are scouring the land for immortal affinity. Things have reached the final stages. With all the major groups sticking together, it's hard to plunder immortal affinity. That's likely one reason the Clean-up Alliance swayed Yunluo Continent to their side.
"But that also gives us an edge. Thanks to our reputation in the test grounds, we're better positioned than the alliance to win over allies. Finding support won't be hard."
Chen Fan spoke with calm confidence. Huang Wuji and the others nodded repeatedly.
Although they would very much like to rely on their strength to wipe out the Clean-up Alliance, the truth was that they didn't have the strength.
But time was running out. Without a plan, they'd lose their last chance.
Soon, the decision to seek allies was finalized.
Though their numbers were small, their strength was undeniable. As long as they extended an olive branch, someone would surely be moved.
And sure enough, Huang Wuji and the others returned three days later.
A group of strangers returned with them. They were the new allies from the Guluo Continent.
Their leader was Liu Wufeng, a man dressed in long white robes. He looked very young, like he was in his twenties. His skin was very fair, and he had a slightly feminine air. However, his aura was absolutely powerful. He was a Greater Legendary realm expert.
Behind Liu Wufeng were seven other people, with one peak, one late-stage, two middle-stage, and three early-stage Lesser Legends.
Liu Wufeng didn't bother with any perfunctory nonsense and directly asked, "Everyone, when will we move?"
On their side, none of them had reached a thousand feet of immortal affinity. Liu Wufeng had the most, close to nine hundred feet.
The situation outside was a mess right now. With every continent's cultivators grouping up, finding stragglers had become difficult. The Guluo team wasn't confident they could seize another continent's immortal affinity alone.
So, when Huang Wuji approached them, Liu Wufeng didn't think for long before agreeing.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "No hurry. Just wait two more days."
Liu Wufeng glanced at Chen Fan before looking toward the depths of the valley.
Intense energy fluctuations surged from within; it felt like something was about to awaken.
Liu Wufeng smiled and nodded. "Alright. Let's have a good cooperation."
"That's for sure. With your help, the Clean-up Alliance won't stand a chance!" Chen Fan's tone was very firm.
With their new ally secured and Wu Yuan's transformation nearing completion, everything was falling into place.
Next, Chen Fan and the others discussed loot distribution with Liu Wufeng.
Two days later.
Wu Yuan walked out from his seclusion. An extremely powerful aura surged from him, and his eyes were bright and sharp.
He had successfully advanced to the Greater Legendary realm in five days.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan was a little puzzled when he saw the unfamiliar figures in the valley.
Chen Fan said, "You succeeded?"
Wu Yuan nodded. "Mmm."
"They are the allies we've found. From the Guluo Continent. He is Liu Wufeng..." Chen Fan informed Wu Yuan of the situation, "This time is our last chance. We need to make sure that nothing goes wrong!"
Wu Yuan smiled and said, "With the friends from Guluo Continent helping us, we're fully confident of success, even if the Clean-up Alliance finds more support."
Three Greater Legends.
In the battle, Huang Wuji could hold back four, leaving the last Greater Legendary realm to Liu Wufeng.
On the other hand, Wu Yuan would act as a sharp blade that swept through those below the Greater Legendary realm from the Clean-up Alliance, alleviating the pressure on Chen Fan and the others. Next, he would give Huang Wuji a helping hand to completely wipe out the Clean-up Alliance.
A powerful aura surged from Chen Fan, and his eyes shone fiercely.
"In that case, let's move out!"
The second counterattack could not be allowed to fail.
