Indeed, the Xiang Clan and the Ning Clan of the TianChu Clan had been wholeheartedly arranging their missions, ignoring Chu Qingcheng and the Shadow Army.

But looking at this matter from a different perspective, when the three major powers joined forces, their opponents would only be the members of the Shadow Army and Chu Qingcheng. Whether it was in terms of numbers or strength, the allied forces of the three major powers held the absolute advantage, and this was an undeniable fact.

As for the opinion, what kind of joke was that?

Who had ever seen a powerhouse in control who would ask the weaker party for their opinion?

"Grand Princess." As he walked towards Chu Qingcheng, his sinister eyes stared straight at Chu Qingcheng as he chuckled, "You are truly worthy of being called one of the most promising young elites in Chu, slaying Han Du. But right now, we have Zhou Yu, me, and four other elites with cultivations no weaker than Han Du's and Luo Cheng's, do you think that you and the three leaders of the Shadow Army will be able to defeat us?"

The Confucian scholar's words were very tactful. However, what he actually wanted to express in his heart was that he looked down on Chu Qingcheng!

"We'll have to try and see if we can win." Chu Qingcheng was not angered by Jing San's piercing words. Instead, she calmly walked up to Jing San and slightly tilted his head. She calmly glanced at Jing San's terrifying scarred face and asked, "Are you really willing to fight for Young Master Xia?"

In truth, Chu Qingcheng didn't have a good impression of Jing San, the Shadow Army, or the entire Martial Imperial Manor. After all, because of Chu Rong, the Chu Clan and Prince Wu's Manor had a grudge against each other.

As for Jing San, Chu Qingcheng only knew her name and knew of him. She didn't even know him, much less have any interactions with him. He could be considered a stranger.

And now, because of the ancient ruins, because of Xia Xinghe, because of Chu Qingcheng and Jing San, because of the Shadow Army, and even because of the Martial Imperial Manor, they had no choice but to join forces with one another.

On the other side, Jing San, upon hearing Chu Qingcheng's words, nodded his head without hesitation and sternly said to Chu Qingcheng, "I know that the Grand Princess and the 4th Prince have hostile attitudes towards the Martial Imperial Manor, but the current situation is different. The two of us have the same goal, and that is to protect Young Master Xia!"

He spoke in a soft voice that only Chu Qingcheng and he could hear, "I know that Young Master Xia is a person who conceals his strength. But at this moment, at such a critical juncture, Young Master Xia has yet to come out from the ancient hall, which proves that Young Master Xia is currently in an extremely weak or special state. Thus, we must work together in this battle, and we must trust each other!"

"I hope that you won't betray me and Young Master Xia at the most crucial moment." Chu Qingcheng didn't say anything else.

Right now, they were already on the verge of being shot. They had no choice but to attack. Even if Chu Qingcheng was still suspicious of Jing San and had a hostile attitude, she still had to let it go!

Was this what it meant by 'good fortune makes a fool out of a person'?

Chu Qingcheng had even thought of personally destroying the Shadow Army and the Prince Wu's manor. However, she had never imagined that she would one day join hands with the Shadow Army!

Chu Qingcheng, Jing San, Qian Si, and Feng Wu all stood side by side as they fought, like an iron wall blocking the only entrance of the ancient palace.

On the other side, Zhou Yu and the other two from the TianChu Martial Academy and the Xiang Clan slowly gathered together as well.

A huge battle was about to erupt!
