Alliance Gathers, Plan to Replace Ice River Valley

The prestige of a subsequent vice-leader far surpasses that of the current nominal leader.

After all, the Kunlun Alliance now only has Wang Chen, who is a cheat code and has his own helper.

The most powerful ones were the two from the Wang Clan who had taken special pills, essentially giving up on Advanced Dou Zong in the future.

But once it replaces Ice River Valley, its overall strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds, regardless of anything else.

At that time, his power as the vice leader will inevitably be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, the benefits they can enjoy will increase exponentially.

After all, Wang Chen, that cheater, is usually very generous.

As long as you're willing to work for him, you can have as many pills and similar items as you want.

Of course, this requires Merit Points to redeem.

"I'll take care of it right away."

"I wonder if the Alliance Leader has any other plans?"

Wang Qiang was also very pragmatic; he immediately addressed Wang Chen as the leader of the alliance.

Wang Chen hadn't thought about this before, so Wang Qiang naturally couldn't make the decision on his own.

After all, if you try to flatter someone and end up making a fool of yourself, that would be incredibly stupid.

But the situation is different now.

Wang Chen has already fully revealed his ambition, so naturally he needs to be careful about how he addresses people.

Even if Wang Chen doesn't care, Wang Qiang, as his subordinate, should naturally be aware of this.

"No.

The leader I've chosen for the alliance is not myself.

"Ah?"

Wang Qiang was also very surprised to hear Wang Chen's answer.

To his utter surprise, the new leader of the Kunlun Alliance was not Wang Chen.

This was truly something he couldn't understand.

"Although my strength is quite good, my apparent Dou Qi cultivation is only that of a Dou Zong."

It will still take some time before I break through to the Dou Zun.

"Becoming the leader of the Kunlun Alliance now will not be beneficial for future expansion."

Wang Chen was not lying.

After all, that's just how real this world is.

If the Kunlun Alliance wants to replace the Ice River Valley and become one of the major powers in Central Plains...

It's inevitable that we need to pay some attention to the opinions of other forces.

If the leader of the Kunlun Alliance were a Dou Zun, other forces might not have any objections.

After all, Dou Zun -level figure would be considered a top expert even in Central Plains.

However, if the leader of the Kunlun Alliance is only a Dou Zong, then other forces will definitely have ideas.

After all, in the Central Plains Continent, Dou Zong is only considered to be in the upper-middle level, still far from the top level.

It's impossible for someone who's usually just a subordinate Dou Zong to suddenly be on equal footing with Dou Zun expert like myself not to have any thoughts.

Even some other Dou Zong a high-ranking martial arts master) might have some inappropriate thoughts.

You, Wang Chen, are a Dou Zong, and so am I.

If you, Wang Chen, can become the leader of a top-tier power, then so can I.

This idea is similar to the one Wang Chen had in his previous life. "Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?"

Once you start, it's unlikely you can stop.

Even with Wang Chen's strength, he could easily resolve these problems.

But it's always better to have less trouble if possible.

Wang Chen wasn't the kind of person who cared about empty fame; he valued practical benefits more.

Pretending to be weak to deceive others is not a big deal for an individual.

There's even a possibility of earning some resources.

However, for those in power, this is definitely not a good choice.

After all, for a power to grow rapidly, stability is paramount.

If your faction pretends to be weak while actually being strong, people will just take you for a fool.

That would inevitably cause some unrest, which would definitely affect the development of our forces.

Even if the unrest is resolved later, it may not be possible to recover the losses.

The gains may even outweigh the losses.

This is the difference between going barefoot and wearing shoes.

Regardless of the final outcome, those wearing shoes will suffer losses.

Wang Chen naturally did not want to suffer unnecessary losses in this situation.

Therefore, it is essential to choose a leader who can command respect from the majority of people.

And coincidentally, Wang Chen had just such a person by his side.

That was Queen Medusa.

She is currently the only one in Wang Chen's entire team to have broken through to the Dou Zun level.

That's more than enough to keep those ordinary skilled fighters at the bottom in check.

"Understood, I'll get to work right away."

After hearing Wang Chen's explanation, Wang Qiang understood.

He was a leader of a powerful force, and he even spearheaded the rapid development of the Wang Clan in the past.

He was naturally very clear about these principles.

Previously, it was simply because Wang Chen's strength was so deeply ingrained in his mind.

This caused him to completely overlook this point.

After hearing Wang Chen's explanation, he naturally came to his senses.

He did not continue to track the specific candidates for the alliance leader.

After all, he's not stupid.

Wang Chen has already given these conditions; if he still couldn't guess the specific leader of the alliance, then he wouldn't have been able to develop the Wang Clan to that extent in the first place.

In his memory, wasn't there a Dou Zun expert right next to Wang Chen?

After all, Wang Qiang was very aware that Queen Medusa had helped build the Spatial Channel.

The chosen leader of this alliance must be one of Wang Chen's confidants.

After all, no one would give up such an important position to a stranger.

There was no other choice but Queen Medusa, who was always by her side.

After Wang Qiang went to handle some business, Wang Chen returned to the same Seclusion Chamber he had been in before.

The corpse of the Ice River Valley was already eager to become a henchman of Peak Dou Sheng.

Well, actually, Wang Chen really wanted a fighter of this caliber.

If it weren't for Queen Medusa and her group, Wang Chen might have immediately begun refining the corpse upon obtaining it.

Now that all the other miscellaneous tasks have been taken care of, it's time to begin this most important work.

Wang Chen was already very skilled at crafting Heavenly Demon Puppet.

He had even crafted Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Peak Dou Sheng once.

There shouldn't be any problems with refining the Ice River Valley this time.

Wang Chen followed the steps and began refining it one by one.

The materials this time were slightly inferior to those last time.

The main difference lies in the availability of Exotic Metal.

In all other aspects, it's just as good, and even the materials used to prepare the corpses are somewhat improved.

After all, the strength of the Ice River Valley is far greater than that of Tian Shuangzi, who has just broken through to the Dou Zun.

All things considered, the newly crafted Heavenly Demon Puppet is no worse than the previous one.

Wang Chen was extremely familiar with things like the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Following the procedure step by step, there wasn't a single mistake.

Once it's successfully refined, it's only a matter of time.

This time, Wang Chen was slightly faster than the previous one.

It was successfully refined in just nine-tenths of the time.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Looking at the new Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Peak Dou Sheng, Wang Chen also let out a satisfied sigh.

For him, having thugs of this caliber was like Han Xin commanding his troops—the more the merrier.

Of course, that's impossible.

After all, even in Central Plains, the number of experts above the Dou Zun level is limited.

But it's not a big problem.

Now that he has two Peak Dou Sheng henchmen, he can start snowballing his power.

As time goes on, he will only get stronger.

The longer the delay, the more cards Wang Chen will have up his sleeve.

That's why he chose to develop in a low-key manner before.

However, the current results are more than enough to justify the previous period of low-key development.

After storing the Heavenly Demon Puppet, a peak Peak Dou Sheng being, into a special Storage Ring, Wang Chen emerged from seclusion once again.

"That's my idea. Do you have any other thoughts?"

After exiting the pass, Wang Chen immediately met with Queen Medusa and the others.

He then directly explained his proposed new leader.

Although in his heart, Queen Medusa should not refuse.

But Wang Chen still needed to ask.

This is something that should at least be respected; it should be shown.

Otherwise, when he spoke with Wang Qiang earlier, he would have directly revealed the candidate for the alliance leader.

Even if Queen Medusa disagrees, Wang Chen can use other options.

It's just a little troublesome at most.

Compared to Queen Medusa, Wang Chen didn't mind a little more trouble.

However, just like Wang Chen, Queen Medusa would naturally also have Wang Chen's best interests at heart.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's plan, she agreed without hesitation.

"No problem."

"I'm happy to be of help."

Having always enjoyed Wang Chen's support, Wang Chen Queen Medusa was naturally very willing to help him now.

"Alright, in that case..."

Let's wait for the rest of the team to arrive.

"Then we'll head straight to the Ice River Valley and take its place!"

Wang Chen clenched his right fist and spoke.

"Once we successfully replace Ice River Valley's position, we can use this power to help Zi Yan gather information about her clansmen."

"Good."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's follow-up arrangements, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin nodded in agreement.

After all, they had lived together for quite some time, and they really liked Zi Yan, their little sister.

Being able to help her find her people is naturally a good thing.

Of course, as a time traveler, Wang Chen naturally knew about Zi Yan's bloodline and origins.

I just need an excuse to say the answer.

I can't just confront them directly. I'm a time traveler, and your bloodline is the Ancient Void Dragon.

That's absolutely stupid.

Of course, under normal circumstances, when Zi Yan enters Central Plains, the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor of Taixu will be sensed by the clansmen of the Ancient Void Dragon.

However, Wang Chen knew the specifics and took some special measures to conceal the aura.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to let Zi Yan go back and enjoy a life of luxury.

Rather, the current Ancient Void Dragon is internally unstable.

Apart from the one from East Dragon Island who remained loyal, the other three from Dragon Island all harbored other intentions.

If they were to return directly to the territory of the Ancient Void Dragon, there would be a high chance of some unexpected events occurring.

After all, this isn't the original novel.

No one knows whether the people from the other three Dragon Island will go berserk and attack East Dragon Island.

If that situation were to actually occur, Wang Chen might not be able to hold the line and rescue the person.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to wait a while and greatly enhance one's own strength first.

Press it down directly with force!

Suppress all the ambitious Ancient Void Dragon from the other three Dragon Island.

At that time, Zi Yan will be able to ensure her own safety and firmly establish herself as the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon.

Wang Chen can also obtain some powerful corpse materials to refine more henchmen.

This is a win-win situation.

As for why not do it from the beginning, and directly let the Ancient Void Dragon of Taixu on East Dragon Island find Zi Yan, and then collect the corpses of the experts from the other three Dragon Island?

That's because Wang Chen wasn't absolutely certain!

After all, the Ancient Void Dragon is a top-tier magical beast, with an extremely long lifespan and even excellent cultivation talent.

Who knows if some ancient relic might happen to have returned from their ancestral lands?

After all, the Ancient Void Dragon is a darling of space, possessing extremely powerful spatial abilities from birth.

Zi Yan's father was tricked by Tou She Ancient God and was trapped in Tou She Ancient God's Tomb.

This resulted in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan losing its new Dragon Emperor Bloodline.

This led to some disagreements among the major Dragon Island at the time.

Some of the older generation simply chose to leave.

But leaving is not death.

If that person happens to come back, Wang Chen will be in a real mess.

Even though the possibility is extremely small, Wang Chen still has to be on guard.

This isn't a single-player game where you can reload and start over.

Once you're dead, you're truly dead.

He wouldn't risk his life on mere luck.

Unless absolutely necessary, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

Clearly, Wang Chen, who has just arrived, has not yet reached that level.

It's just a little longer wait, it won't have much of an impact.

Wang Chen naturally chose the safer plan.

Now that he has two Peak Dou Sheng fighters, Wang Chen is not afraid even if an old member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan returns to his clan's territory.

This is the confidence that comes with strong strength.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Qiang also summoned all the experts above the Dou Wang that the Kunlun Alliance could gather to Jinshan City.

It has to be said that with the support of Wang Chen, who is such a cheat code, the Kunlun Alliance has been developing very well recently.

There are a total of eighteen experts at the Dou Zong level alone.

The number of Dou Emperor exceeds forty, and the Dou Wang even exceeds three digits.

These figures are indeed quite alarming.

However, the vast majority of them are those who have just broken through to the next level.

Previously, due to the lack of sufficient elixirs, one could only rely on their own strength to break through.

The difficulty of achieving that breakthrough was, of course, quite extraordinary.

But now that Wang Chen, this overpowered guy, is in charge, there's absolutely no need to worry about the pills.

Those who have joined the Kunlun Alliance can use their Merit Points to exchange for the elixirs they need.

In order to increase the strength of his members as quickly as possible, Wang Chen even created a policy to exchange resources for pills.

Alliance members who are stuck at a bottleneck can use various resources to exchange for pills that can help them break through that bottleneck.

Of course, this only applies to members who are currently stuck at a bottleneck.

Others could only honestly accumulate merits.

This differential treatment will also make those who exchange for the pills more loyal.
