As Xiong Wu praised Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang, Wei Bao's face darkened, and Zhang Liang also frowned slightly.
Zhang Liang had deliberately avoided mentioning Yang Cheng's achievements in front of Xiong Wu, not to suppress Yang Cheng, but because he didn't want to be so high-profile at the alliance meeting.
After all, there are many powerful figures in the alliance, and their forces are the weakest. It is normal for them to be humble and cautious. There is no need to be so high-profile and flamboyant, which would only make them disliked.
Therefore, Zhang Liang planned to recommend Yang Cheng to Xiong Wu after the alliance meeting.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Ben told Xiong Wu about the matter, Xiong Wu took the opportunity to use it to suppress Wei Bao.
Wei Bao, aren't you just showing off your military might?
They're so smug about wiping out a hundred Black Dragon Cavalrymen and killing Wang Xian; they're so proud of themselves they've lost all sense of direction.
Zhang Liang and Yang Cheng over there wiped out two Black Dragon Cavalry squads of a hundred men each, and even killed General Yang Xiong!
Although Wang Xian was a general of the Black Dragon Cavalry, he was only a new generation figure from the Wang family, a military clan, and was still a step below old-school Qin generals like Wang Li.
Yang Xiong, on the other hand, was a general of the Qin state of the same generation as Wang Li, although his achievements were not as dazzling as Wang Li's, but his status was definitely above Wang Xian's.
Therefore, it is obvious which one deserves more credit than the other.
Even though Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang made such great contributions, they didn't flaunt their achievements like you, Wei Bao. Compared to them, Wei Bao's previous behavior seems like that of a clown.
Everyone present looked at Wei Bao with amusement, except for Xiang Yu, who stared intently at Yang Cheng.
Wei Bao's face darkened. He looked at Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang and said calmly, "Oh? You actually killed two hundred-man squads of Black Dragon Riders and Yang Xiong? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Liang sighed; at this point, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't.
If he cannot admit to the matter, he will be seen as a fame-seeker.
"Yang Xiong came to hunt me down, and another hundred-man team is also attacking my stronghold. News of their deaths will soon come through official channels; this cannot be faked."
Because of the urgency of the situation, I didn't take Yang Xiong's body with me, but his armor, spear, and tiger tally are all here, as are the armor of the hundred-man Black Dragon Riders who attacked the mountain stronghold.
As he spoke, Zhang Liang released all those things from the Small Cave Heaven Technique and placed them in front of everyone.
After confirming that everything was correct, Zhang Liang put it away and said in a deep voice, "Strictly speaking, we didn't kill these Black Dragon Riders; it was Brother Yang who did it all by himself."
Liang, being weak, was chased and fled in a sorry state by the Black Dragon Riders. Fortunately, Brother Yang came to his rescue and killed the Black Dragon Riders, thus saving his life.
The fact that a reclusive master like Brother Yang has emerged from seclusion to join our anti-Qin alliance is sufficient proof that the tyrannical Qin dynasty has lost the will of Heaven and the hearts of the people. We should unite even more to completely overthrow the tyrannical Qin!
Zhang Liang was a smart man. He had kept quiet beforehand because he wanted to keep a low profile, so he hadn't revealed Yang Cheng's achievements.
Now that Yang Cheng's achievements have been exposed, it's better to just tell them all openly.
Everyone present knew who Zhang Liang was, so his words were mainly to elevate Yang Cheng's achievements and status.
Seeing the evidence laid out before him, Wei Bao had no way to question anything. He simply smiled insincerely and said, "I wonder what school or sect this Brother Yang comes from, that he is so powerful?"
Yang Cheng glanced at the other party and said indifferently, "It's a hidden sect, so it's not convenient to tell you."
Seeing Wei Bao's discomfiture, Xiong Wu burst into laughter: "Brother Wei Bao, don't be so curious about everything. Hidden sects have many rules."
"Alright, let's talk about these things later. The reason I've called everyone here today is because of something very important."
Xiong Wu's tone turned serious as he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "According to the news from our spies in Xianyang, that sorcerer Xu Fu is about to start causing trouble again."
Moreover, this time he wasn't looking for virgins or children, but rather the Five Elements Treasures.
A middle-aged man from the Yin-Yang School behind Wei Bao suddenly asked, "Is Xu Fu looking for these five things: Cloud Gold, Rootless Wood, Nuwa's Tears, Li Yang Fire, and Xuan Yuan Stone?"
Xiong Wu nodded and said, "These are the five treasures of the Five Elements. In fact, Xu Fu started preparing to find these things half a year ago. Now he has found four of them, and only Nuwa's Tear is missing."
The Yin-Yang School member said solemnly, "These five items are the ultimate purification formed by the condensation of the five elements of heaven and earth, and are unique treasures."
As long as these five things exist simultaneously, a second one will never be born.
Our Yin-Yang School has records that when the five elemental treasures are gathered together, they possess immense power capable of upheaval and transformation.
Although no one knows how to refine and use these five items now, they absolutely must not fall into Xu Fu's hands!
Xiong Wu sighed, "Yes, who knows what kind of tricks that wicked Xu Fu could use to refine these Five Elements Treasures?"
Now that the Qin state has unified the world, Xu Fu has exhausted the entire Qin state's resources and has found four items. Now we have received news that the last one, Nuwa's Tear, is in the reclusive Shui family of Yunmengze in my Chu region.
At this time, Xianyang had already dispatched 50,000 elite troops, openly heading towards our Chu territory to suppress our anti-Qin forces.
Then, Chen Zheng, one of Xu Fu's direct disciples, led hundreds of demons from Lishan to secretly infiltrate Yunmeng Marsh and seize Nuwa's Tears from the Shui family.
The Chu region was remote and had always been one of the main bases for resisting Qin.
Nuwa's Tears is the last of the Five Treasures, and it is equally important that Xu Fu not obtain it.
Therefore, I convened this meeting today to gather everyone's strength to withstand this wave of Qin army's offensive, and at the same time, to prevent Nuwa's Tears from falling into Xu Fu's hands.
