Chapter 3565: The Autumn Cloud Alliance and the Mount He Alliance
“A disaster?” Luo Yiming smiled faintly upon hearing Luo Feng’s words. “That might not necessarily be the case.”
“Brother, what do you mean? Stop beating around the bush and tell me what’s on your mind!” Luo Feng said impatiently.
Luo Yi Ming laughed before he said, “Brother Feng, you’ll know what I mean if the other two alliances work together and come for us.”
Luo Yi Ming was incredibly calm. It seemed as though he did not care at all even if two major alliances joined forces to deal with the North Profound Alliance. In fact, there was a reason for his confidence. A few days ago, he had sparred with Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian came to visit him regarding some matter. Similar to his cousin, he was quickly defeated by Duan Ling Tian. With this, he realized Duan Ling Tian was a top Eight Star G.o.d of War, at least.
Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng were only ordinary Eight Star G.o.ds of War. Like the North Profound Alliance, the other two alliances only had ordinary Eight Star G.o.ds of War as well.
…
The three strongest alliances in the Second Northern Region were the North Profound Alliance, the Autumn Cloud Alliance, and the Mount He Alliance.
It did not take long for news about the North Profound Alliance’s newly appointed Supreme Guardian being stronger than the Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader to spread to the Autumn Cloud Alliance and the Mount He Alliance.
Needless to say, the two alliances began to act as soon as they received this news. After investigating the matter, the Eight Star G.o.ds of War from the alliance finally convened to discuss the matter at the Mount He Alliance base.
Two rows of seats could be in the main hall of the Mount He Alliance base. Two groups of people sat facing each other at this time.
At this time, a tall and burly middle-aged man who was dressed in a long gray robe called out, “Leader Yuan, I think it’s time for us to temporarily set our differences aside and work together. Otherwise, it’ll be too late for regrets when the North Profound Alliance comes for us.”
The dignified gray-clad tall and burly middle-aged man had large eyes and a pair of bushy brows that framed them. He was none other than Tie Ming, the Vice Leader of the Autumn Cloud Alliance. He was an Eight Star G.o.d of War whose strength was on par with Luo Feng, the Vice Leader of the North Profound Alliance. The vice leaders of the alliances had a duel a few years ago and were equally matched.
Tie Ming’s words were directed at a dignified old man dressed in a dark green long robe. The old man’s hair and sword-shaped brows were white as snow. He looked energetic and youthful for his age. He was Yuan Fu, the Leader of the Mount He Alliance. Since the Leader of the Autumn Cloud was present, he forgo the main seat reserved for the leaders in the hall and sat with the others.
“Vice Leader Tie, how sure are you that the North Profound Alliance will attack us?” An ordinary-looking young man with a medium build who was sitting next to Yuan Fu shook his head as he spoke. He was the Vice Leader of the Mount He Alliance, Qi Kun.
“Vice Leader Qi,” Tie Ming said as his eyes flashed, “Is the Mount He Alliance willing to risk it? If that’s the case, my Leader and I will leave Mount He Alliance immediately. We only came to Mount He Alliance to seek cooperation. I’m sure it must have crossed your mind to work together to take down the North Profound Alliance as well. We decided to personally come here as a show of our sincerity. However, if the Mount He Alliance is unwilling to cooperate, then we won’t insist on it as well.” Tie Ming smacked his hand against the table and rose to his feet as soon as he finished speaking.
“Vice Leader Tie, please calm down,” Qi Kun said as he rose to his feet as well.
In fact, the Mount He Alliance was keen to cooperate with the Autumn Cloud Alliance as well. However, due to past conflicts with the Autumn Cloud Alliance, the Mount He Alliance did not want to seem too eager. However, now that Tie Ming had said such words, it was only natural that the Mount He Alliance would soften their att.i.tude.
“Leader Yuan, what do you say? It’s a waste of our time to argue at such a time, don’t you think?” The harmless-looking middle-aged man, who looked like a scholar sitting next to Tie Ming, finally opened his eyes to look at Yuan Fu. He was Ximen Jiang Cheng, the Leader of the Autumn Cloud Alliance.
“Leader Ximen.” The expressionless Leader of the Mount He Alliance, Yuan Fu, forced a smile on his face as he said, “The Mount He Alliance is willing to cooperate with the Autumn Cloud Alliance regarding this matter.”
“Then you should’ve said so earlier…” Tie Ming said before he returned to his seat.
Yuan Fu asked Ximen Jiang Cheng, “Leader Ximen, since you personally came to seek cooperation with us, I’m sure you already have a plan in mind. Do you mind telling me what you planned to do next?”
Ximen Jiang Cheng shone coldly as he said, “Both alliances will join forces to attack the North Profound Alliance as soon as possible.”
…
In the Given Alliance base in the central region of the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
A young man leading a dozen men appeared at the entrance of the Given Alliance base. He said indifferently to the guards at the entrance of the base, “I came to look for Ji Ying.”
“Ji Ying?”
The members of the Given Alliance guarding the base entrance were briefly confused until one of them said, “Ji Ying seems to be the name of our Leader…”
“My Lord, may I ask for your name?” another guard asked carefully.
“Mi Xuan,” the young man replied curtly. This young man was none other than Mi Xuan who had possessed Tang San Pao.
“So you’re Lord Mi Xuan. Our Leader has ordered us to bring you to him as soon as you arrive.”
The eyes of the guards of the Given Alliance lit up as they bowed respectfully.
Before Mi Xuan returned to the Nine Serenities Battlefield, Wu Hong Qing, the Temple Master of the Main t.i.tle Temple, had contacted Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven, to notify Ji You that he would be sending someone to the Given Alliance to help search for Duan Ling Tian.
The members of the Given Alliance were confused. Shortly afterward, one of them reacted. “Ji Ying seems to be the name of our leader!”
“My lord, may I know who you are?” One of the members of the Given Alliance asked tentatively.
“Mi Xuan,” the young man replied indifferently.
He was none other than Mi Xuan who had possessed Tang San Pao’s body.
“So, you’re Lord Mi Xuan.” The eyes of the members of the Given Alliance lit up as they bowed respectfully at Mi Xuan. “Our Leader has commanded us to bring you to meet him immediately.”
Before Mi Xuan had entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield, the t.i.tle Temple Master, Wu Hong Qing, had contacted the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven, Ji You to inform his disciple, Ji Ying that the t.i.tle Temple would send someone over to the Given Alliance to help search for Duan Ling Tian.
After Ji You had informed his first true disciple, Ji Ying, about this matter, Ji Ying had notified his men to expect a respected guest by the name of Mi Xuan.
One of the guards led Mi Xuan and the dozen men following him into the base.
Half of the dozen men were Eight Star G.o.ds of War from the main t.i.tle Temple while the remaining were from various t.i.tle Temple branches. Wu Hong Qing had told them to listen to Mi Xuan’s orders and to capture Duan Ling Tian alive.
When they arrived at the entrance of a valley, Mi Xuan’s men were stopped at the entrance.
“You’re Mi Xuan from the t.i.tle Temple? Our Leader has been waiting for you. However, our Leader wishes to meet with you privately.”
When Mi Xuan entered the valley, he saw Ji Ying, who looked formidable, hovering in the air. He flew up and drew level with Ji Ying.
“Mi Xuan?” Ji Ying raised an eyebrow.
Mi Xuan nodded lazily. Although Ji Ying was a Nine Star G.o.d of War, Ji Ying was nothing in the eyes of Mi Xuan who used to be a King of G.o.ds before he sealed his soul. Even an ordinary G.o.d was nothing in Mi Xuan’s eyes, let alone a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor who had yet to attain G.o.dhood.
“My master said you’re a Nine Star G.o.d of War?” Ji Ying bluntly asked.
“I guess.” Mi Xuan shrugged.
“This is not a matter to be taken lightly. If you’re not a Nine Star G.o.d of War, then you’re not worthy of cooperating with me. Since when did the t.i.tle Temple become so unreliable and untrustworthy?” Ji Ying asked, annoyed.
“Unworthy of cooperating with you?” Mi Xuan scoffed. “Brat, you better watch your mouth. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your master.”
Mi Xuan who treated Wu Hong Qing, the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Temple, as someone inferior to him did not even care about Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven. How could he care about Ji You’s disciple?
Ji Ying was stunned by Mi Xuan’s words. When he regained his senses, he said disdainfully, “If you want to teach me a lesson, you’ll have to have the ability to do so.”
With this, the atmosphere grew heavy and tense immediately.
It looked as though a fight was about to break out as the duo glared at each other.
