In a battle that held the rapt attention of the masses, it came to a tumultuous end with an outcome no one had anticipated.
Although the great battle had ended, because it was so utterly shocking, for the next few days, everyone within the Forest Demon World and the Great Origin Imperial City was talking about it.
It wasn’t just the others; even the powerhouses from the Four Great Legendary Forces felt that the result was beyond their expectations.
Meanwhile, within the Forest Demon World,
Those who once looked down upon Qin Chen, the Heavenly Pride of a One-star Sect, mainly the disciples from the Five-star Sect Forces like Burning Moon Nether Sect and Spirit Heart Hall,
had thoroughly retracted their disdainful gazes after this event.
Even many of the Heavenly Prides from Spirit Heart Hall and Burning Moon Nether Sect felt a tremendous pressure.
It was as though Qin Chen had become the one who stood high above all others.
Sixth on the Heavenly Stele, a ranking truly earned by slaying Kong Yi.
No one dared to underestimate Qin Chen any longer.
At the same time, the Reverse Alliance was also brought into the spotlight.
The alliance that had previously been underestimated by countless people had annihilated the expedition force of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect.
After this battle, no one dared to look down on the alliance anymore.
Forcing Spirit Heart Hall and Burning Moon Nether Sect to take the existence of the Reverse Alliance seriously.
In fact, many people held a unique sense of anticipation for the Reverse Alliance.
Could this united group of individuals pull off another miracle?
But, while everyone was marveling at Qin Chen’s slaying of Kong Yi and the Reverse Alliance’s crushing defeat of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect,
Moon Howling Heavenly Sect was completely mired in extreme disarray and humiliation.
Slander, disdain, shame.
All the negatives seemed to cloak the Sect that had once held infinite authority.
Nevertheless, those disciples of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect who had not participated in the punitive expedition and had survived could only maintain a silent demeanor.
They had no right to retort or explain.
The glory now enjoyed by the Reverse Alliance was clearly built on the profound loss of face suffered by Moon Howling Heavenly Sect.
On the third day after the battle ended,
The Reverse Alliance, led by Chu Xun, Guo Chen, and others, boldly descended upon Zones One and Two, originally dominated by the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect Disciples.
They either executed the remaining disciples of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect or drove them straight out of Zones One and Two.
The notion of "the strong prey upon the weak" was perfectly embodied.
Moon Howling Heavenly Sect had lost.
Therefore, they would lose everything.
The name of the Reverse Alliance resonated far and wide!
Those over seven hundred individuals who had stayed with the Reverse Alliance through battles, temptations, and choices felt immensely proud and increasingly joyful.
They had seized the honor they had not even dared dream of before.
Dominating the resource zones of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, what a mad deed!
Yet now, they achieved it with remarkable ease.
Three vast territories lay before them to slaughter the Forest Demons at will.
They reveled in the unbridled delight, no longer needing to contend for resources.
Many believed that with the Reverse Alliance’s sudden rise to power, Spirit Heart Hall and Burning Moon Nether Sect would take action against it.
However, Spirit Heart Hall and Burning Moon Nether Sect acted as though they had cut off all news from the outside world.
Whether it was the Reverse Alliance’s domination of Zones One and Two or anything else, Spirit Heart Hall and Burning Moon Nether Sect made no move.
Gradually, many people came to an understanding.
Wait, whether it was Spirit Heart Hall or Burning Moon Nether Sect, they were all waiting.
Waiting—for Jang Chenglong!
They were considering not just the matter of the Reverse Alliance
But the entire situation that would follow.
Like two tigers lurking in the light, ready to pounce.
As time went on, the atmosphere in the Trial Zone began to take on a sense of an approaching storm.
The tension was increasingly palpable.
Meanwhile, the identity of the Reverse Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch remained an unsolved mystery.
It was the subject of much discussion among the people.
Many even speculated that it might be Qin Chen.
However, to avoid attracting the attention of the Burning Moon Nether Sect towards the Reverse Alliance, Qin Chen had yet to reveal it.
Though he had killed Kong Yi, Qin Chen was well aware that his strength was still insufficient.
Moreover, a tough battle was looming on the horizon.
If he emerged victorious in that battle,
then Qin Chen would have no concerns about revealing his true identity.
Outside, there was much speculation.
And everyone was paying close attention to the Reverse Alliance.
"Scoundrel! After all this time, you really are something."
This was a remark tinged with a hint of sourness.
After that battle within the villa, Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran had even taken residence at Green Rain Villa.
As for Mon Tianran, Qin Chen had briefly explained the situation to Huaa Ruoran. Otherwise, Huaa Ruoran might have been worried.
Ever since he entered the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword, Mon Tianran had been without news, and it was unclear how much longer it would take for him to emerge from the Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword.
Inside a grand hall in the Green Rain Villa, Dao Xiaoyao stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Qin Chen with an indignant face.
Qin Chen had never replied to her messages, which had always been a matter of frustration for her.
It was only after she witnessed Qin Chen decisively killing Kong Yi that she mistakenly thought Qin Chen deemed it beneath him to respond to her boastful messages.
Qin Chen was taken aback; in fact, he had genuinely overlooked the Communication Token.
It was only now that he took out the Communication Token.
And he saw that Dao Xiaoyao had indeed sent him quite a few messages.
Mostly, they were boastful words in front of him, which made Qin Chen shake his head in response.
Seeing Qin Chen shaking his head, Dao Xiaoyao felt even more aggrieved. She bit her lip and suddenly turned to look at Chu Xun next to her.
Chu Xun was startled but then responded, "What is it?"
"Do you know why Ruoran and I decided to help your Reverse Alliance?" Dao Xiaoyao asked.
Chu Xun shook his head.
That was something he had been curious about and wanted to understand as well.
Qin Chen also looked over at this point.
"First of all, the Reverse Alliance is made up of disciples from low-level sects, and I too am a disciple from a low-level sect," Dao Xiaoyao said.
"But, that’s not the main reason I helped you." Dao Xiaoyao continued.
"What is the main reason then?" Chu Xun asked.
"The main reason is, you have to tell me something," Dao Xiaoyao demanded.
Chu Xun was astonished.
In his heart, he thought, Why should I tell you?
Out of the blue making such a demand, it was completely nonsensical.
However, faced with Dao Xiaoyao’s eyes, which had a hint of a chill in them, Chu Xun instantly cowered.
He realized that aside from Qin Chen, there was no one who wasn’t afraid of this Little Demon Girl.
Those eyes were truly intimidating.
"Speak up, what do you want to know?" Chu Xun hesitated before asking.
"What I want to know is, who exactly is the Alliance Hierarch of your Reverse Alliance?!" Dao Xiaoyao said, her face taking on the expression of a gossipmonger, her eyes blinking eagerly at Chu Xun.
Chu Xun was startled, clearly not expecting her question to be this.
"Hold on," Dao Xiaoyao suddenly spoke up.
"Just tell me, is this Alliance Hierarch of the Reverse Alliance really handsome and strong?" Dao Xiaoyao asked.
As she spoke, Dao Xiaoyao’s gaze carried a hint of challenge as she glanced at Qin Chen out of the corner of her eye.
Chu Xun, upon hearing this, suddenly wore a strange expression.
