The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

Chapter 492: Chapter 491: Discussion

The leaders of the nine major forces all gathered on this day.

The Saint Masters Miao Yuanqing of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land and Chu Zhenchuan of the Xuanyuan Sacred Land both made an appearance.

As for the Canghai Sect, Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, and Yunxiao Sect, it was their respective Great Elders who stepped forward.

The elders also represented Purple Flame Mountain and Seven Killings Sect.

The Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven simply sent a random Elder as their spokesperson.

In their eyes, such a meeting was nothing more than a formality.

After all, the ones who would determine the outcome of this battle were not others but their two major sects.

And then there was the Yunxiao Sect.

They didn’t even consider Purple Flame Mountain and Seven Killings Sect worth noting.

Because the forces deployed by Purple Flame Mountain and Seven Killings Sect were even inferior to those of the Yunxiao Sect.

To Purple Flame Mountain and Seven Killings Sect, it seemed they were more interested in seeking vengeance, which is why they got involved.

As for the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, they could only leave it to fate.

They all knew very well that with the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven present, it was unlikely they would get their turn with the Great Emperor Immortal Skill.

They could only hope to get some leftovers.

If there were leftovers to have, that too would be good.

As for the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, Xuanyuan Sacred Land, Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, and Canghai Sect these four major forces, they were regarded even less.

Would a soaring eagle in the sky care about ants on the ground?

The answer is naturally no.

Because the ants don’t even have the qualifications to be the eagle’s food, there’s no need to take them seriously.

Allowing them to participate in this battle was merely a matter of courtesy.

Moreover, they had heard that the Sect Master of Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, the Sect Leader’s wife, Elders, and the Divine Son and Goddess had all perished.

How could such rabble catch their eye?

It was simply delusional.

Of course, forces like the Flying Immortal Sacred Land and Xuanyuan Sacred Land were well aware of this, and after the meeting, they kept silent, turning their attention to the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect and the Elders of the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, waiting for them to speak.

"Fellow Daoist, since you’re familiar with it, you tell us," an Elder from the Fierce Battle Sect indicated the Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect to speak.

It’s worth mentioning that behind this Elder of the Fierce Battle Sect, there sat a young man in white.

Wu Yutian.

The younger brother of the Heavenly Demon Sect Hierarch, Wu Nantian.

It should be noted that a significant reason for this alliance was due to his meddling.

His mission, of course, was to avenge his brother Wu Nantian.

To kill Ye Xuan at all costs!

That was Wu Yutian’s conviction.

But he was well aware that, alone, he was no match for Ye Xuan.

During his time in the Heavenly Demon Sect, he had witnessed Ye Xuan’s fearsomeness firsthand.

He also knew about the many mysterious methods Ye Xuan possessed, and if he came alone, he was simply courting death.

But this time, he brought his sect with him.

Not only his own sect, the Fierce Battle Sect, but also Qianyuan Cave Heaven and the top five forces from the Southern Domain. Even the sects from the East Desolate Great Domain like Purple Flame Mountain and Seven Killings Sect were taking action.

With the nine major forces joining forces, he refused to believe Ye Xuan could withstand them.

"Ye Xuan, let’s see how you die this time..." Wu Yutian’s eyes flickered with hatred.

He had only one sibling, Wu Nantian, and yet Ye Xuan had killed his only kin. How could he bear it?

He wanted to make Ye Xuan understand a simple principle: If you touch the dragon’s inverse scale, you die!

While Wu Yutian indulged in his thoughts, the Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect also began to speak:

"The situation of the Emperor Immortal Sect, I believe everyone is already well aware," said the Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect, as he scanned the room before speaking calmly, "The Emperor Immortal Sect is now in dire straits, their Patriarch Zhou Chaolong is on his last legs, currently using a life extension technique, which will come to an end in three days."

"I have to say, those people of the Emperor Immortal Sect are truly crazy," Duan Song, the Elder of Fierce Battle Sect and Wu Yutian’s master, said with a faint smile.

"Indeed, they are crazy; what’s the use of a life extension technique if it rushes you to your death?" an Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven also agreed with conviction.

They were all well aware of the dangers of life extension techniques: very low success rates that often prematurely ended one’s life.

Such measures would only be taken at the most critical moment; otherwise, nobody would resort to them.

The Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect laughed and said, "With our nine sects converging here, the Emperor Immortal Sect has no choice but to panic. That Zhou Chaolong, relying on his formidable strength, killed the Sect Leader of our Yunxiao Sect. Such behavior was tantamount to seeking death. Now there’s another instance, which is enough to show that the Emperor Immortal Sect should be destroyed!"

"Just a lingering, dilapidated Sect, it should have been wiped out long ago," Duan Song said in a calm and unhurried manner.

"I wonder what you all think would be the best time to attack?" the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect glanced around the room and said.

"Everything should be done according to the instructions of our seniors from the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven," the Saint Heir of the Feixian Sacred Land, Miao Yuanqing, said straightforwardly.

"Everything should be done according to the instructions of our seniors from the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven," Chu Zhenchuan also spoke up.

Seeing this, the people from the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, Canghai Sect, Purple Flame Mountain, and Seven Killings Sect also began to speak up in turn.

This was just a formality, after all.

In the end, they weren’t the key factors in this battle.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect had expected this and turned his gaze to Duan Song and the Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

"What do you two fellow Daoists think?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Song’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "The Fierce Battle Sect believes that now is the best time to strike. The Emperor Immortal Sect is shrouded beneath the Half-Yin World, and their ancestor, Zhou Chaolong, is on the verge of death. If we act now, we can interrupt the Life Extension Technique and directly wipe out the Emperor Immortal Sect."

Why is it called the Fierce Battle Sect?

Because they are always the proponents of war.

Since they’re here, they might as well start fighting!

The Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven stroked his long beard and said leisurely, "Dealing with enemies by boiling a frog in warm water and slowly watching them die is indeed one of life’s great pleasures."

"To see hope arrive, only for it to turn into despair, tsk tsk tsk, the change in the enemy’s expression, just thinking about it feels wonderful."

"Therefore, Qianyuan Cave Heaven believes that we should attack when Zhou Chaolong’s Life Extension is about to end."

This statement showed Qianyuan Cave Heaven’s confidence.

They were not at all afraid of Zhou Chaolong successfully extending his life.

For them, whether Zhou Chaolong succeeded or not, it wouldn’t affect the situation on the battlefield.

Because Zhou Chaolong alone couldn’t do much.

This time, they had seven ancestor-level figures coming.

Could Zhou Chaolong possibly fight against seven by himself?

Clearly, that was impossible.

Even the three ancestors from the Yunxiao Sect could easily suppress Zhou Chaolong!

That was where his confidence lay.

With such confidence, he naturally wasn’t afraid of Zhou Chaolong successfully extending his life.

"Delay could lead to unexpected changes. Are you not afraid something else might happen, fellow Daoist?" Duan Song glanced at the Elder of Qianyuan Cave Heaven and said indifferently.

"One cannot eat hot tofu if they are anxious," the Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven said with a smile.

"How about this then? The Fierce Battle Sect attacks, and you from Qianyuan Cave Heaven just watch?" Duan Song said somewhat discontentedly.

The opinions of the two Sects clashed.

This was something the people present hadn’t expected.

However, it was best for them to just listen and not intervene, as doing so would surely offend someone.

So the best course of action was naturally to stay out of it.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect also hadn’t anticipated such a scene unfolding. After pondering for a moment, he said, "There’s no need for fellow Daoists to be like this. Whether Zhou Chaolong succeeds in his Life Extension or not doesn’t really affect us."

"As for the timing of the attack, there are three days left until Zhou Chaolong’s Life Extension ends. How about we make a compromise and strike on the last day, catching him totally off guard?"

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect said as much.

"Are you saying we should still wait three days?" Duan Song’s eyebrows twisted, and a powerful aura suddenly burst forth.

Everyone present couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt as the pressure increased.

Only the Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven remained unmoved as a mountain, shooting a sideways glance at Duan Song and saying, "The old man here thinks it’s a feasible plan."

"Are you unable to make decisions on your own, fellow Daoist, or is there some other reason? If you can’t decide, we can wait for you to discuss and come back?"

The Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven said with a mocking smile.

There was an implied message in his words.

The implication was that Duan Song lacked authority—was he so powerless that he had to report back to his Sect elders even for such a minor matter?

As a member of the Fierce Battle Sect, which is known for its directness, Duan Song could hardly stand it upon hearing this and instantly retorted with a cold snort, "The last day it is, then."

"But let me be clear up front, when the time comes regarding the matter of the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, if anyone has any mischief in mind, the Fierce Battle Sect will not let them off easily."

"Farewell!"

Having said that, Duan Song immediately stood up and left.

Wu Yutian also followed Duan Song out.
