How could he possibly defect to Beihe just because of one sentence he said?
"It doesn't matter, I only want you... Lord of Chaos City..."
The Northern River Emperor didn't care about the Freedom Alliance at all. Without the Chaos City Lord's support, he could kill all the world monarchs by himself.
He doesn't even need to lift a finger; sending out some divine generals would easily destroy the entire Freedom Alliance.
Even now, if the Great Emperor of Beihe wanted to, he could still do it.
He himself stopped the Lord of Chaos City, and then sent his divine generals to attack, which the Free Alliance could not stop either.
However, with the Lord of Chaos City present, it's not advisable to do so, because the former could also threaten the Northern River forces.
"Don't say such misleading things!" Lu Yunhe thought to himself, and directly agreed to the bet with Emperor Beihe.
Emperor Beihe was very confident in himself, but Lu Yunhe was even more confident in himself.
If he can't even handle the Northern River Emperor, then what's the point of his cultivation, let alone pursuing the Chaos Origin Dao?
Even now, Lu Yunhe is not incapable of dealing with the Northern River Emperor; he is simply unwilling to pay the price.
"Since the city lord has agreed, then it is a gentleman's agreement between the two of us. I believe you will not break the agreement." Emperor Beihe nodded in satisfaction.
“Compared to me, you seem more likely to breach the contract,” Lu Yunhe said speechlessly.
On the one hand, practitioners, due to their state of mind, generally do not break their vows, so as not to hinder their spiritual cultivation.
However, for those who follow the path of bloodline, they do not value spiritual realm, and the price of breaking their vows is very low.
Not to mention, in the original story, the Great Emperor of Beihe himself did such a thing.
To be honest, Lu Yunhe himself didn't care much about the Northern River Land.
The reason I agreed was simply to add some significant events to my own cultivation journey.
If he can completely defeat the Northern River Emperor, then he should be able to contend with the Supreme Being.
The Emperor level is indeed just a realm. For natives and the Death Fiends, the gap between minor realms is enormous, but for cultivators, realm and skill directly narrow the gap in power.
To put it simply, it's an improvement in the strength of native inhabitants, which is comprehensive compared to their own kind, but it doesn't cover the characteristics of cultivators, and the corresponding bonuses won't be diluted.
"Haha, I won't easily break my oath." Emperor Beihe laughed heartily.
"Lord of Chaos City, I'm waiting for you. Once you're ready, I'll be there to keep you company."
The Great Emperor of Beihe regained his domineering demeanor and then turned around and returned to the flying boat.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" General Fengyan asked in a trembling voice.
The battle between the Lord of Chaos City and the Great Emperor of the Northern River had already stunned them, but the appearance of the Supreme Being Haogu at the end was truly terrifying.
The Supreme Being, the true pinnacle of the Broken Tooth Mountains, wields immense power over the divine generals.
"We lost this operation, but I'll get you back next time."
The Great Emperor of the Northern River spoke with great confidence, once again instilling confidence in the divine generals.
"Now...retreat..."
Chapter 728 The Founding of the Freedom Alliance
"withdraw……"
The Great Emperor of the Northern River arrived in a golden winged boat with great momentum, but in the end he fled in a sorry state.
Of course, in the eyes of Emperor Beihe, this is only a strategic retreat, and he will return soon to reign over the Free Alliance once again.
"They've withdrawn..."
"The Great Emperor of Beihe has retreated..."
"We won..."
As Emperor Beihe departed, the warriors of the Blood Soul World cheered.
They had all prepared to die, but unexpectedly they won; the life-or-death battle did not affect them at all.
However, some unlucky people were caught in the aftermath of Lu Yunhe's battle with the Northern River Emperor.
In their previous battle, the two of them almost destroyed the entire Blood Soul World.
Fortunately, the world's origin was not greatly damaged. With the power of cultivators, the world can be properly restored without hindering the normal reproduction of the Blood Soul Clan.
Compared to the survival of the entire race and the world, this loss is entirely acceptable.
Compared to the warriors' tearful expressions, the world monarchs of the Free Alliance were much more solemn, each of them also solemnly welcoming the arrival of their leader.
Although the Great Emperor of Beihe has left, another great mountain has quietly moved in, suppressing the joy that should have arisen in their hearts.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader!" Blood Axe Lord, Nether Serpent Lord, and others said respectfully.
After Emperor Beihe left, Lu Yunhe returned to the Free Alliance. As soon as he landed, the people gave him a big gift.
Lu Yunhe didn't care about this. After all, he was the lord of a force and the lord of a source world. The respect of these people had no effect on him.
"Gentlemen, there's no need for that. I keep the Freedom Alliance's principles firmly in mind," Lu Yunhe said, without taking the opportunity to manipulate these people.
There's no need for that. They united precisely to resist, but instead they've been subjected to immense oppression by him. That would be ridiculous.
We've finally found some capable people, so there's no need to push them out again.
These people are at least at the Emperor level, stronger than even the invincible beings of the Realm Heart Continent.
He wasn't from the Broken Tooth Mountains, so he had to treat these royal-level beings with even greater courtesy.
Just like in the Realm Heart Continent, if an invincible being is willing to join the Chaos Ancient Kingdom, they are immediately treated as honored guests, and it's not appropriate to treat them as subordinates to be used at will.
This difference between the two worlds, when reflected in the Free Alliance, immediately brought a sigh of relief to the Blood Axe Lord and others.
"As expected of a cultivator, their state of mind is truly different." The Blood Axe Lord praised inwardly, and put aside his worries.
The Chaos City Lord's performance was truly outstanding; his strength had even surpassed the level of an Emperor.
If they were only at the mid-stage of the Emperor level, even if they were very strong, they wouldn't be under that much pressure.
However, unless one has lived in the Broken Tooth Mountains and integrated into its social atmosphere, it is difficult to experience the overwhelming aura of the Emperor and Supreme levels.
After the Lord of Chaos City demonstrated his strength, the Blood Axe Lord and the others were on tenterhooks.
If the Lord of Chaos City agrees to join Emperor Beihe, then they are completely finished.
Therefore, although the Lord of Chaos City was fighting with the Emperor of the Northern River, they still could not feel any joy, fearing that the situation would completely reverse.
To their surprise, the Supreme Being Haogu actually appeared in the end, almost scaring them to death.
Haogu Supreme, the true ruler of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, a perfected Emperor-level being, could annihilate the entire Free Alliance with a single breath.
The appearance of such a being terrified the Blood Axe Lord and others, leaving them speechless with fear.
However, the situation changed again and again, and the Supreme Haogu had no intention of intervening. He even stopped the Great Emperor of Beihe, at least in substance.
This action is quite unusual, as it implies a covert acknowledgment of the Chaos City Lord's legitimacy and recognition of the Free Alliance's status.
At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City, in terms of both strength and status, is actually no different from the Great Emperor.
Even if the Free Alliance is abandoned, a new emperor-level power can be established.
In this situation, the fact that the Lord of Chaos City could remain calm and unmoved, and still endorse the Freedom Alliance's principles, truly surprised them.
"I'm afraid the Lord of Chaos City's ambitions extend beyond just a small alliance; he also wants to transcend this cage," the Lord of Blood Axe thought to himself.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, we will also strictly adhere to the Alliance's principles and will never violate them," Blood Axe Lord and the others said respectfully.
Although the Lord of Chaos City said that, they couldn't really ignore his words.
Regarding rule, the Blood Axe Lord and others weren't actually that absolute; they just couldn't accept the domineering and uncompromising rule of the Northern River Emperor, which was practically equivalent to being slaves.
In fact, the Blood Axe Lord, the Nether Serpent Lord, and others had already discussed the terms of surrender at the beginning.
In other words, members of the tribe can be conscripted, and they can even fight on their own, but the entire tribe cannot be forced to fight, nor can they be forced to die on the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, it means retaining some say and accepting partial rule, just like a feudal lord.
Therefore, they joined forces, hoping to force the Northern River Emperor to lower his ruling conditions and stop treating them like slaves.
However, the reason why the Northern River Emperor expanded his power and strictly ruled these emperors was to lead them to fight against other emperors and even supreme beings.
Giving them these rights would mean they wouldn't join him in rebelling against the Supreme Being.
What the Great Emperor of the Northern River wanted was a group of soldiers who would obey his orders to fight against the Supreme Being, not feudal lords who cheered from behind.
The Blood Axe Lord and others also saw this point, which is why they were unwilling to accept the rule of the Northern River Emperor.
But if it were the Lord of Chaos City, he probably wouldn't have such a strict rule, at least he wouldn't have forced them to oppose other emperors or even supreme beings.
They feared the Northern River Emperor, but they also feared other emperors, let alone the Supreme One.
"With the Alliance Leader here, the Northern River Emperor is nothing to fear," said the Lord of the Underworld Serpent with confidence.
The Lord of Chaos City gained the recognition, or rather, tacit approval, of the Supreme Being Haogu, which dispelled some of their concerns and effectively made him their leader.
"This time, it was thanks to the Supreme Being Haogu that we were able to force the Great Emperor Beihe to leave, but he has not given up on ruling you, and the battle between the two sides has not stopped," Lu Yunhe said.
"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, as long as the Northern River Emperor doesn't personally intervene, we can defend our world without fear of the divine generals' invasion," the Lord of the Underworld Serpent said confidently.
Now he is not fighting alone, and he can seek support from the Alliance at any time.
The Lord of the Underworld and others are not afraid of war, but they are afraid of a war in which there is no hope.
“Not only us, but now that the alliance has been established, some world monarchs who are still observing should also be willing to join,” one world monarch said.
With the Northern River Emperor acting as a source of pressure, these people were willing to contribute to the alliance and gather more helpers.
Compared to the Northern River Emperor's side, the Free Alliance's offer was clearly better.
"Emperor Beihe's forces aren't monolithic; many world rulers joined him out of coercion. Now that we have the Alliance Leader, we can try to win them over," the Lord of the Underworld Serpent flicked his tongue.
It's important to understand that the Free Alliance is now equivalent to an Emperor-level power, possessing the ability to resist the Northern River forces.
If it weren't for the Lord of Chaos City, those who had already surrendered to Emperor Beihe would never have chosen the Free Alliance.
But now, some people who are unwilling to accept the hardline rule of the Northern River Emperor have a new option.
“I also know people on the other side of the Northern River,” a world monarch continued.
