Chapter 69: An Immortal Treasure That Can Kill True Immortals?
Two Almost Immortals!
At the scene, every Supreme and Saint Master widened their eyes in surprise.
That Luofu Holy Master possessed the cultivation level of an Almost Immortal was unexpected, but not wholly inconceivable.
After all, it was a Holy Land with deep roots and a long history.
But the Sect Master of Divine Sword Sect, an Almost Immortal too?
"Another Almost Immortal has appeared, too terrifying!”
"There had been no rumors before, they really hid their strengths deeply.”
"Two Almost Immortals... Only in the most glorious epochs in history would such a spectacle emerge...”
"With two Almost Immortals speaking in unison, who could possibly stop them? Not even the Holy Lands can do it!”
For a moment, everyone started talking, overwhelmed with emotion.
Strong figures like Cihang Saint Lord also looked extremely solemn.
Two Almost Immortals, looking down upon the assembly.
"I believe Brother Luofu and Brother Cao’s propositions are not wrong.”
At this moment, Cihang Saint Lord gave a slight smile and said,
“Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, you should be just a bit more generous.”
Taking sides!
Previously, her Cihang Holy Abode had not expressed any stance until this very moment, when two Almost Immortals had revealed themselves assured of victory.
"Hehe, our Sacred Dragon Imperial Family also shares this view. The Xuantian Realm is one big family, we can’t just let you two factions eat meat, while letting others chew on husks, can we? The famous mountains, the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, the Spirit Stone Veins, and such, should all be taken out for redistribution!”
An Emperor from the Saint Dragon Dynasty also spoke out with a scoff.
"Indeed, it should be so!”
"The Southern Territory belongs to everyone!”
"Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land have taken up too much!”
At that moment, individuals from powers outside of the Southern Territory began to voice their opinions!
If before they had remained silent, now there was no longer any need to do so.
Dividing up the Southern Territory had become a foregone conclusion the moment the two Almost Immortals appeared!
Hence, speaking up now was necessary to ensure a share in the spoils to come.
Upon witnessing this scene, individuals such as Mu Qianning in the chief seats had very unsightly expressions.
Is this, then, the nature of humanity?
There’s no distinction between good or evil, there is only the law of the jungle.
"What’s wrong, struck dumb, are you? I’ve given you face, hoping you’d have some dignity, but you’re forcing me to take action. I’m afraid you risk the extinction of your sects!”
At that moment, Cao Yijian once again threatened, his sword intent even more powerful.
"Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling’er, the Divine Maiden,”
Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both stood up, facing Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, paying their respects,
“We were compelled and had no choice but to face the enemy.”
Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both nodded.
Thereafter, Lingchao and his companion turned around.
"Do you really think that the Southern Territory is a place where you can act recklessly?”
Saint Lord Lingchao bellowed, his hair flying wildly, and in an instant, an overwhelming Spiritual Power surged out just like a towering wave!
Almost Immortal!
Another Almost Immortal!
In that moment, everyone at the scene was extremely shocked!
"Almost Immortal? You think only you are?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord too bellowed angrily, releasing his cultivation level that swept across the assembly, pushing back against the pressure of both Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian!
Yet another Almost Immortal!
In the span of a moment, four Almost Immortals had appeared in succession!
Suddenly, everyone in the great hall was shocked.
Silence, utter silence!
Everyone looked at the scene before them in disbelief.
Almost Immortals!
On ordinary days, such figures were unseen in the Xuantian Realm!
Yet now, four had appeared at once.
This was hard to believe!
"I even felt a terrifying threat, if it is revealed, perhaps you and I will die on the spot...”
The other communicated directly through a soul transmission!
The two exchanged glances from afar and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
"We can’t act recklessly, we need to stabilize the situation first!”
The two True Immortals immediately reached a consensus.
"It seems that in the Southern Territory, there really is a powerful being in command, and it is very likely a strong being from the Immortal Domain!”
One of them said.
"Right... These two women are likely disciples under that being’s tutelage...”
"We can’t engage in direct combat, otherwise, we would expose ourselves, but we can’t just back down either, else we can’t probe the depths of our opponents...”
The two quickly communicated with each other.
"I suddenly thought, since that being has disciples, why not start with them? We dare not force that one to take action directly, but by pushing his disciples, we can also glimpse his origins!”
"Just so, just so, in this way, in that way!”
The two quickly reached a consensus.
In an instant, they transmitted their thoughts to Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master.
Upon hearing the True Immortals’ soul transmissions, both the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian’s expressions changed.
They were actually being asked to back down?
They had already torn off their pretenses, but now they weren’t allowed to continue to force a battle?
Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master were utterly baffled.
Yet at the same time, they did not dare disobey the commands of the two True Immortals.
"Heh heh, we are not the type to bully others,”
At this moment, the Luofu Holy Master suddenly spoke up,
“We have both proven ourselves as Almost Immortals, and if a war breaks out, the Southern Territory will certainly be devastated. How about this—let’ s change the method, shall we?”
He looked at Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord.
Ling Chao and Yuanyang exchanged glances.
"What are you suggesting?” Ling Chao inquired.
"Quite simple, let the younger generation compete. Based on their victory or defeat, we can decide the allocation of resources for the Southern Territory, how does that sound?”
The Luofu Holy Master said.
Upon hearing this, everyone around was surprised.
The Luofu Holy Master was actually taking a step back?
Honestly, in the eyes of the crowd, the four major domains held the advantage right now.
Because they simply had too many people.
"What, you’re not daring to do it? If you agree, we will let you off today!”
Cao Yijian also spoke gravely.
This confused everyone even more.
The two Almost Immortals, while having the clear advantage, were actually both taking a step back?
"This might be the best way,”
At this moment, Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert suddenly spoke up,
“Since the dispute is irreconcilable, such a decision for the outcome is good for all parties.”
Even Dugu Chen, who had been silent, said,
“I agree.”
Seeing two Almost Immortals and the two strongest Saint Master Level figures speak up, the others could only follow suit.
A battle between the young ones!
"Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling’er, the Divine Maiden, what do you think?”
Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord, however, looked towards Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning.
Mu Qianning said,
“Whatever the two Saint Lords decide will be fine. No matter what you do, we will support you.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two Saint Lords immediately showed relief.
"Very well, on behalf of the Southern Territory, we, the two Holy Lands, accept your challenge!”
"Three days hence, the younger generation of the Southern Territory will face the prodigies of the four major domains!”
Saint Lord Yuanyang and Saint Lord Lingchao declared!
They had agreed!
