The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1273 - Chapter 1273 Chapter 1372 Three Alliances Hall

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1372: Three Alliances Hall Chapter 1273: Chapter 1372: Three Alliances Hall Qian Country’s crisis, in the eyes of many, seemed to have passed.

Repeated visits from the top experts of three sect and even the appearance of a top-notch expert like Cangyunzi, were simply unimaginable events.

But fortunately, Qian Country also had a mysterious protector, and though no one knew the origins of this guardian, it did not matter. What mattered was that Qian Country survived and wasn’t levelled like Yun Country and Meng Kingdom by the three sect.

However, due to repeated attacks by the three sect experts on Qian Country, though they did not conquer it, many of Qian Country’s Martial Artists had left.

Many of them didn’t want to leave this land, but life was of the utmost importance–they never knew if the three sect experts would come again. If the three sect experts appeared again and the mysterious guardian had left Qian Country, what then?

To them, so long as they left Qian Country and this turbulent land, they would no longer live in constant fear.

But what they didn’t know was that with the great war between regions starting, there truly wasn’t any safe place in the vast Nine Countries.

Even tiny Qian Country, which had just survived a calamity, had a pulsing undercurrent hidden beneath its calm surface.

This undercurrent, however, did not erupt immediately but hid in a place where none in Qian Country could see, silently lurking and coldly observing everything happening in Qian Country, waiting for the best moment to emerge.

…

The events in Qian Country quickly spread throughout the Nine Countries in a very short time and also caused an uproar within the three sect.

Because the actions of the three sect in Qian Country faced tremendous obstacles and they even lost several experts, they decided to pause their offensive in the Nine Countries and gathered the top leaders of the three sect to carefully discuss their next steps.

In the plans of the three sect, seizing Qian Country and releasing a mysterious woman imprisoned within its borders were crucial parts. If this part couldn’t be carried out, many of the subsequent plans of the three sect would be difficult to continue.

It could even affect the outcome of the war between the two regions.

The situation was currently favorable for the three sect; they had successfully infiltrated the Nine Countries, particularly making a large breach in Tang Country. Using this breach as a springboard, they continuously sent three sect experts throughout the Nine Countries.

In the field of top-tier experts, the three sect also achieved a victory as Situ Yue, Cangyunzi, and Buddha Head joined forces to fight against the Three Emperors and at the cost of Buddha Head’s disappearance, they caused both Qin Emperor and Yuan Emperor to also disappear and severely wounded Tang Emperor.

Thus, among the Nine Countries’ top-tier experts, the Three Emperors, only Tang Emperor remained and he had been gravely injured. Ever since his return, he had been in constant recovery, clearly his injuries were not something that could heal overnight.

Now the three sect indeed held the upper hand with significant success in all battlefields.

However, the situation in Qian Country was an unexpected complication that the three sect had not anticipated.

A mysterious woman was imprisoned within Qian Country–a secret known only to the higher-ups of the three sect, disclosed only in recent years by the oldest and most mysterious of the sect.

To rescue this woman significantly tied to the three sect, they had long prepared, thinking their plan was foolproof, and believed that the Nine Countries would not know their attack on the Lower Three Kingdoms was a mere diversion. Their real goal was to free this mysterious woman.

But what the three sect completely unforeseen was that Qian Country was guarded by an extraordinary expert, which caused the three sect to repeatedly fail and lose several experts.

Listing them, besides those Spirit Source Martial Artists that were killed, the three sect lost the Three Heroes of Tao Sky at Qian Country, the burly monk, and the Female Swordsman of Confucianism Sect.

The Three Heroes of Tao Sky were experts of the Taoist Sect, the burly monk hailed from the Buddhist Sect, and naturally, the Female Swordsman of Confucianism Sect was from the Confucian Sect.

Additionally, a monk in a golden robe, a young swordsman, and a middle-aged man were captured.

This loss was unbearable for the three sect. There were not many experts of this caliber within the sect, and if they continued to lose them this way, the war between the two regions might end with the three sect’s experts nearly wiped out.

Especially after Cangyunzi returned defeated, the three sect then realized that Qian Country was not just a hard bone to chew but also one that shouldn’t be chewed, as it could not only be bitten off but could also break their own teeth.

What kind of person was Cangyunzi? A top-notch expert of the Taoist Sect, not necessarily the first of the Taoist Sect, but undoubtedly among the top five.

Yet even Cangyunzi was defeated in Qian Country and directly stated that there was a guardian in Qian Country far beyond him, unimaginably powerful.

Once Cangyunzi had declared this, the high ranks of the three sect felt terrible, as though the war between the two regions was destined for failure.

In the minds of the three sect leaders, hiding such a powerful being in the Nine Countries was akin to having an ace up their sleeve; if even Cangyunzi wasn’t a match for this person, then who among the three sect could possibly defeat them?

After all, when the war between the two regions reached its climax, it largely depended on which side had stronger experts and more trump cards.

With Buddha Head’s disappearance as a cost, they forcibly made both Qin Emperor and Yuan Emperor disappear, unable to participate in the regional war, effectively reducing the number of top-tier experts in the Nine Countries.

Moreover, their next step was to deal with the Four Heaven Kings, but exactly how they would do this, even people within the three sect did not know.

But now, a new mysterious and powerful expert had emerged in the small Qian Country, which made the high ranks of the three sect momentarily at a loss.

They couldn’t just abandon the favorable battle scenario they were currently in due to the appearance of this expert, but if they continued, how should they deal with such a powerful being?

Above the vast ocean, there was a grand hall floating on the sea.

This hall moved with the wind, drifting all year round, like moorless duckweed, blowing wherever the wind took it.

But no matter how it drifted, it remained at sea.

This hall was the place where the high ranks of the three sect held their discussions and was known as the Three Alliances Hall.

As the name Three Alliances suggests, it symbolizes the alliance of the Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian sects, established many years ago when the three sect first allied.

Now, most of the high ranks of the three sect, including most of their experts, except those who were truly unable to leave the Nine Countries, were already gathered in the Three Alliances Hall.

As a top-notch expert of the Taoist Sect, Cangyunzi held a significant status within the sect and naturally was in the Three Alliances Hall, and this time he had also convened many high-ranking members of the sect here for discussions.

Within the vast hall, the attendees filled the seats, each sitting in positions according to the three sect’s hierarchy.

“Cangyun elder, may we trouble you to recount the events that occurred in Qian Country to everyone once again,” a person from the Taoist Sect respectfully said to Cangyunzi.
