Chapter 5978: We’re Neighbors

“What are you getting at here?” Edge Mountain Crone’s eyes flashed menacingly.

Eight-treasure might be the strongest in the alliance but she had no fear due to her excellent cultivation.

“Haha, nothing, I was just joking, Senior.” Eight-treasure Monarch laughed and tried to de-escalate the situation. He came for the treasures, not to fight this old ancestor.

He turned back at Furious Wind’s group and bowed: “Congratulations, your ancestral weapons have returned. It is a blessing to the entire alliance.”

The group exchanged glances upon hearing this. Normally, one would be elated to receive congratulations but they knew this was not a good thing.

“Monarch, you are mistaken, nothing like that is happening.” Furious Wind denied.

“What? Was I just seeing things? That can’t be because we’re neighbors, there’s no need to hide anything between us.” Eight-treasure said.

“Monarch, we have never seen the weapons, so there must be a misunderstanding here.” The first elder told a half-truth.

“Saber King, Elder, I saw the two beams earlier and knew they had to be your weapons. Both Insane Spear and Furious Immortal Sword.” Eight-treasure smiled.

“You read it wrong, because look at us, we are empty-handed.” Furious Wind shook his head.

Eight-treasure scanned the group again and sure enough, there was no divine weapon nearby.

“If you don’t have them, they must still be in the shrine. Virtuous King must have stored them here during her seclusion.” Eight-treasure turned around and focused on the shrine. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

The monarch’s expression changed after hearing this. Although his sect was the strongest, it was not ready to leave the alliance.

This put him in a difficult position. Rushing into the shrine meant antagonizing both Insane Gate and the other members. They could face heavy pressure from the rest.

“Boom!” His thoughts were interrupted by a chariot grinding through the air.

It exuded golden particles, seemingly adding a layer of light to everything beneath. The chariot seemed to be made from gold, giving an air of grandeur and nobility.

“Ancient Step.” Everyone became alarmed.

The chariot landed near Li Shrine. A young man with a regal aura appeared, looking like a domineering ruler. When he stood up, mountains and clouds could be pushed away by his mere presence.

Eight-treasure and the others felt a strong pressure hitting their chest.

“Sky Step King!” Eight-treasure uttered the newcomer’s title.

He was the first brother of Ancient Step and a direct disciple of Beneficence Grand Emperor.

Ancient Step was the strongest lineage outside of Splendor City and was rumored to have a relationship with Enigma.

It didn’t suffer the same decline as the members of the alliance and most importantly, it had a living Grand Emperor - Beneficence.

Without any progenitor, it couldn’t deal with monsters such as the great great dynasties. Nevertheless, it was a monster compared to the ancient alliance.
