Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ji Ying, who looked miserable at this moment, asked grimly, “Who are you?”
Ji Ying did not expect the t.i.tle Temple would send such a formidable Nine Star G.o.d of War. His opponent’s soul attack was so powerful that it seemed impossible coming from someone who had yet to attain G.o.dhood. Hence, it was impossible for a Nine Star G.o.d of War to deflect such an attack with a soul-defense divine artifact. Mixed feelings rose in his heart at this moment. It was a good thing that the t.i.tle Temple sent someone so strong to a.s.sist his search for Duan Ling Tian, but he felt uneasy with the strength and dominance Mi Xuan had displayed. It seemed like he had forgotten that he had challenged Mi Xuan first at this moment.
“I’m someone you can’t afford to offend,” Mi Xuan replied brusquely.
Although Ji Ying was infuriated with Mi Xuan’s reply, there was nothing he could say to refute those words. He truly could not afford to offend someone who could easily kill him. Moreover, Mi Xuan, who was from the t.i.tle Temple, was unlike those people who feared him since he was the first true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven.
Meanwhile, fear could be seen in the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Given Alliance and the Eight Star G.o.ds of War from the t.i.tle Temple when they looked at Mi Xuan. In this world where the strong were revered, they were instantly convinced by Mi Xuan’s strength and no longer had any reluctance about obeying Mi Xuan’s orders.
Mi Xuan glanced at Ji Ying and asked, “Is there any news about Duan Ling Tian?”
After Ji Ying regained his senses, he shook his head. “After Duan Ling Tian killed my junior brother, the Heavenly Dao Alliance disbanded immediately. Ever since then, there has been no news of Duan Ling Tian. We managed to capture a few former members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but none of them revealed anything about Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts even though we tortured them to death.”
Ji Ying clenched his hands tightly, and his body trembled slightly when he mentioned his junior brother whom he treated like his biological brother.
“Were there any high-ranking members from the Heavenly Dao Alliance among those you captured?” Mi Xuan asked.
“No.” Ji Ying shook his head. “We only managed to capture those few people because they were openly bragging about witnessing the battle between Duan Ling Tian and my brother. All of them were only ordinary members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.”
After the Heavenly Dao Alliance disbanded, all the members had gone their separate ways. Those who were smart naturally did not dare to disclose the fact that they were formerly members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. It was unfortunate that there were fools who thought they would get away with bragging about this matter.
Mi Xuan said in a low voice, “Although I loathe to admit it, Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and comprehension skills are truly remarkable. He achieved so much before even reaching 700 years old. If he becomes a Nine Star G.o.d of War, I’m afraid you won’t be a match for him at all.”
“He won’t be a match for me if he only recently became a Nine Star G.o.d of War,” Ji Ying said indignantly, feeling underestimated by Mi Xuan.
Mi Xuan only glanced at Ji Ying and did not respond to those words. Instead, he changed the topic and said, “Arrange for a quiet and remote place for me to stay in.”
…
Duan Ling Tian was still unaware that Mi Xuan had possessed Tang San Pao, let alone the fact that Mi Xuan had sealed his soul and entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield. He was fully immersed in cultivating and comprehending the law of s.p.a.ce and two of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth in the North Profound Alliance base.
Due to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds in his Little World, his cultivation environment was the best. With that, he improved tremendously while he cultivated, uninterrupted, in the North Profound Alliance base.
…
Time continued to pa.s.s.
The members of the North Profound Alliance who had been hoping for Duan Ling Tian, their new Supreme Guardian, to help them to eliminate the other major alliances in the Second Northern Region had also given up on the idea. It seemed to them that their Supreme Guardian was rather pa.s.sive so they did not hold much hope of him making a move.
Alas, the peaceful days in the North Profound Alliance did not last long. The peace was first broken by a loud cry from the entrance of the base. Following that, many members began to rush into the base in a panic.
“The members of the Mount He Alliance are here!”
“Vice Leader Qi Kun of the Mount He Alliance brought many of the Guardians here as well!”
An ominous feeling rose in the hearts of the members of the North Profound Alliance as chaos and panic ensued. In just a short moment, their alliance was faced with an unprecedented crisis.
“Leader Ximen Jiang Cheng led his men to attack the eastern entrance!”
“Leader Yuan Fu of the Mount He Alliance is at the southern entrance!”
“Vice Leader Tie Ming of the Autumn Cloud Mountain and his men are at the northern entrance!”
Report after report came in, causing the members of the North Profound Alliance to panic.
“What to do? What to do?”
“The Mount He Alliance and the Autumn Cloud Alliance came to eliminate us! Why didn’t our Supreme Guardian and Leader eliminate them earlier?”
“I shouldn’t have returned to the base! I only returned to the base yesterday after being away for a few months. How unlucky!”
“Do you think the Mount He Alliance or the Autumn Cloud Alliance will accept us if we jump s.h.i.+p?”
“Do you think they’ll accept traitors?”
“The Nine Serenities Battlefield is different. Everyone wants to join a strong alliance, after all. It’s normal to jump s.h.i.+p.”
The Leaders and Vice Leaders from the Mount He Alliance and the Autumn Cloud Alliance led their men in and attacked the North Profound Alliance, leaving a river of blood in their wake. The members were brutally killed; they disregarded all pleas for mercy.
At this moment, Luo Yi Ming appeared. His expression was twisted by anger as he looked at the chaos in the alliance base.
Similarly, Luo Feng who was standing behind Luo Yi Ming wore an unsightly expression on his face as well.
“Ximen Jiang Chen, Yuan Fu, what do you think you’re doing?!”
As soon as Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng appeared, the members of the North Profound Alliance rushed toward the duo’s sides.
“Leader!”
“Vice Leader!”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Soon after, the eleven Guardians of the North Profound Alliance, who were Seven Star G.o.ds of War, appeared one after another as well.
“Leader, Vice Leader…”
The group of Guardians stood in a row behind Luo Yi Ming and Luo Feng, glaring at their opponents fiercely. Despite their fierce expressions, a hint of fear could be seen in the depths of their eyes. Some of them even trembled slightly.
This was not surprising considering the Mount He Alliance and the Autumn Cloud Alliance had joined forces. This was their worst nightmare. When their Supreme Guardian joined them, they were filled with antic.i.p.ation. They could not wait for him to eliminate the Mount He Alliance and the Autumn Cloud Alliance. However, when it was clear their Supreme Guardian was not going to take action, they became restless before finally resigning to the fact that their Supreme Guardian was never going to make a move. At that time, they wondered if the other two alliances would be able to put their differences aside and join forces to get rid of the threat that was the North Profound Alliance. Today, they finally received the answer to their question.
“Luo Yi Ming, today is the end of the North Profound Alliance,” Yuan Fu, the Leader of the Mount He Alliance, said as he looked at Luo Yi Ming mockingly.
“Ximen Jiang Cheng, is this your intention as well?” Luo Yi Ming asked Ximen Jiang Cheng, the Leader of the Autumn Cloud Alliance.
Ximen Jiang Cheng remained silent. However, his expression was more than enough to convey his answer.
“Very well.” Luo Yi Ming was so angry that he could not help but laugh. “It seems like both of you are determined to eliminate the North Profound Alliance today.”
Yuan Fu said indifferently, “Luo Yi Ming, you can only blame yourself for letting another Eight Star G.o.d of War join your alliance. You should know that would tip the precarious balance between our three alliances.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many members of the North Profound Alliance turned unsightly. Many of them were filled with discontentment and dissatisfaction.
“It’s the Supreme Guardian’s fault!”
“That’s right! Not only did he not contribute to the alliance, but he even brought disaster to our alliance!”
“Our Supreme Guardian is a waste of s.p.a.ce!”
“We shouldn’t have let him join us!”
It was not just the ordinary members of the North Profound Alliance who thought this way, but even the Guardians of the North Profound Alliance thought this way as well.
