I Am Overlord

Chapter 1718: One After Another

Chapter 1718: One After Another

Suddenly, several groups of people came to join Xiang Shaoyun. Even Xiang Shaoyun himself was stupefied. Baili Yixiao's support might be somewhat expected, but the support of the Sacred Deer Academy and some other people was completely unexpected.

When he sent some people to the Dragon Phoenix Academy to gather some cultivators for the war in the outside domain, only a small number of Overlord Legion members who had reached Saint Realm dared to join. Additionally, about a dozen Saint Realm elders of the academy had also joined him. At the time, Baili Yixiao and the others had not responded to his call. It turned out that Baili Yixiao had actually returned home to gather more people.

The Baili Clan was also an ancient clan. They had contributed about 200 people to this war. As for the Sacred Deer Academy, they had even more people. There were about 2,000 people in their group—even more people than Xiang Shaoyun had.

The Sacred Deer Academy even had Lu Xiaoniang among their ranks, someone who had managed to obtain a guardians token and go through the three tests of the Guardians Guild. Lu Xiaoniang was a gentle-looking woman with a friendly expression on her face. She did not display any arrogance or overbearingness. Her pigtail hairstyle gave her an adorable look.

Xiang Shaoyun did not understand why Lu Xiaoniang had decided to support him, but he understood upon seeing Xia Liuhui, Jiang Qi, and Liang Zhuangmin standing around her.

Those three were probably the reason the Sacred Deer Academy had come to such a decision. As for some of the other supporters, they were mostly here because of the Overlord Legion members. These young geniuses of their respective organizations were following Xiang Shaoyun to war. Could the organizations behind them sit back and do nothing?

"Overlord, our Pan Clan isn't a super clan, but we still hope to give you some help," said Pan Yun with a bashful smile.

Pan Yun was a lucky person. During his time in the academy, he did not stand out in terms of talent. Thanks to his many fortuitous encounters, he managed to reach sixth-stage Heaven Battling Realm.

"Thank you, everyone," said Xiang Shaoyun with gratitude.

He had not imagined that these brothers of his would do this for him. He felt extremely grateful to them. However, even with the new addition, Xiang Shaoyun's group still wasn't enough to impress the other young Gods. After all, Xiang Shaoyun's group was still too small compared to the groups of these young Gods. They did not think that he would be able to pose any threat to them.

It did not take long for the young Gods to be proved wrong. The three freaks arrived from three different directions, each bringing about 1,000 people.

"Overlord, we're not too late, right?" asked the three freaks respectfully.

"You went looking for people?" asked Xiang Shaoyun as he looked at the people behind the three freaks.

"Yes. These are the people left behind by Master. Since you wish to fight for the young guild master position, we naturally have to help," said the red freak.

"Yes. We can't let others look down on us!" said the green freak.

"I heard Old Lu has a group of people coming over as well. They should be arriving soon," said the blue freak.

Sure enough, right after he said that, a group of people with imposing auras arrived. The leader said, "We're here under Lord Lu Jiang's command to assist Young Master Xiang."

This group had about 3,000 people, making them the largest group to join Xiang Shaoyun so far. They even had God Realm experts among their ranks, greatly strengthening the forces Xiang Shaoyun had at his disposal. A massive smile bloomed on Xiang Shaoyun's face. As for the other young Gods, their expressions turned ugly, especially Qin Jiu's, Gongsun Sanyang's, and the Celestial War King's.

Damn it! The old fool Lu Jiang is actually helping that kid! Is he dumb? cursed Qin Jiu inwardly.

Gongsun Sanyang was also cursing inwardly, Looks like this deputy guild master still has some influence in the guild. After I become the young guild master, I will definitely put all those forces under my control.

Damn you, bastard! I won't spare you in the outside domain! yelled the Celestial War King inwardly.

As for Ling Ziruo, she approached Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Young Master Xiang, we're allies, yet you weren't honest with me. Are you looking down on the Guangling Palace?"

One ought to be impressed with Ling Ziruo. Her words successfully erased the little bit of conflict that had erupted between her and Xiang Shaoyun. Xiang Shaoyun did not mind. He knew how he had looked earlier, and it wasn't a big deal that Ling Ziruo would question him the way she did since they weren't exactly close friends. In fact, she was already much kinder to him compared to some other people.

"I did not expect them either," said Xiang Shaoyun honestly.

Ling Ziruo did not believe his words, so she gave him a rebuking glare.

Beside Xiang Shaoyun, Devil Concubine hugged his arm and looked at Ling Ziruo cautiously. She did not wish to have yet another "sister" by her side. With the celestial darkdevil tree's assistance, Devil Concubine had become a third-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator. With her dao of yin and yang, she was strong enough to battle even a fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.

She seemed even more beautiful than before. Her entire person radiated allure, and many young Gods looked at her passionately. However, she disregarded all of them. Excluding Song Tiandao and Ling Ziruo, Xiang Shaoyun already had over 8,000 people in his group, putting him on somewhat even ground with the other young Gods. Although people like Qin Jiu, Gongsun Sanyang, and Ji Feixian still had much larger groups than him, the gap was no longer as big as before.

At this time, a high-tier God Realm elder of the Guardians Guild appeared and announced, "Young Gods, board your warships and prepare to head for the battlefield in the outside domain."

At his words, 365 warships appeared one after another. An ancient aura permeated the area, forming a dazzling phenomenon of numerous auspicious purple clouds. The purple cloud was a phenomenon representing nobility. Every single one of these young Gods was a fortuitous individual with the potential to become a ruler.

Who among them would be the one to take the supreme throne, becoming the young guild master? That would rely on their capabilities.

A young God roared heroically, "I shall do battle with the aliens and return with victory!"

"I will be the young guild master! The aliens will all be reduced into corpses and bones under my feet. Nobody can stop my rise!"

"I have long wanted to visit the outside domain. This time, I shall let the aliens experience the might of my divine technique!"

...

The elder started forming hand seals. He pulled upon space around him, and noiselessly, a spatial path appeared before them. Countless spatial currents wreaked havoc inside the path, making the path look like a roaring beast that planted fear in all who looked at it.

"Go. This path will bring all of you to the battlefield in the outside domain," said the elder. "The path is newly created, so it probably contains quite a lot of dangers. Watch your backs."

He then waved his hand, telling the warships to set off. Instantly, the numerous warships streaked toward the path. A bright and multicolored radiance from the God Realm energy powering the warships flooded the area, presenting a dazzling scene.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't stand around doing nothing. With his hands clasped behind him, he gazed at the spatial tunnel and muttered, "Master, your disciple is coming."
