Chapter 591: Zhong Shan’s Unexpected Intervention

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Zhong Shan’s Unexpected Intervention

As the powerful Taishou Heavenly Court experts rushed towards Zhong Shan, a white-robed figure suddenly appeared. Standing firmly before Zhong Shan, the man's powerful aura erupted.

It was just his aura—an overwhelming force that caused the rushing expert to spit blood and fly backward. The same happened to the surrounding experts; with just his presence, he held an unassailable position without even lifting a finger.

He was too strong!

The powerful aura forced the Taishou Heavenly Court experts to retreat, spitting blood and looking utterly bewildered.

The white-robed man who had suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Shan didn't even glance at these underlings. Instead, he looked up at the sky.

After being knocked back, the experts were filled with shock and dared not approach again.

He was too strong! The sudden figure was too domineering! He defeated them with just his aura? Seeing this solitary white-robed figure, a sense of submission welled up in their hearts.

The newcomer was none other than the Wolf Clan Supreme, Di Xuanha.

Although Di Xuanha had arrived a bit late, he was still timely enough to prevent Zhong Shan's secrets from being exposed to everyone.

Di Xuanha's sudden appearance surprised everyone.

In the sky, Zhong Shan and the others couldn't see anything because the high altitude was extremely distorted. Spatial ripples appeared one after another, like waves in a stormy sea, obscuring the view of the internal battle.

Although the crowd couldn't see, three people could: Xu Fu, Wuhuan, and Di Xuanha. These three supreme powerhouses saw everything clearly.

Di Xuanha's appearance immediately drew everyone's attention, causing a stir.

Wuhuan looked at Di Xuanha in astonishment, wondering why he was here instead of in the southeast of Shenzhou or on Tianlang Island.

Di Xuanha's arrival added another variable to the Taishou Heavenly Court's seemingly flawless plan, complicating matters further.

The situation was becoming very precarious!

"What a grand gathering!" Xu Fu said with a smile of surprise.

In the sky, the intense battle gradually subsided, possibly due to Di Xuanha's sudden appearance.

The three supreme powerhouses once again stood in a triangular formation.

Nie Fancheng's dragon robe was somewhat tattered, as were the clothes of the other two, though not as severely. Nie Fancheng's body shook, and his torn robe instantly restored itself, as did the garments of Shen Ya Daojun and Lu Guitian.

The three of them suddenly looked at Di Xuanha.

Another Heavenly Realm expert? What day was this? How had the Heavenly Realm experts become so commonplace?

Di Xuanha, the Wolf Clan Supreme, had rarely been seen in action since reaching the Heavenly Realm. His only known battle was with the former Dragon Clan Supreme.

Zhong Shan? Everyone's attention shifted to Zhong Shan. This ambush had become entangled around him.

The Heavenly Realm experts dared not act recklessly, all because of Zhong Shan! This seemingly insignificant participant in the Ten Thousand Pills Conference was now central to the situation.

"Then take the people of Great Zheng and leave!" Lu Guitian said impatiently.

Di Xuanha looked to Zhong Shan for his decision.

This scene amazed everyone. Di Xuanha was seeking Zhong Shan's input? Wasn't this backward? Di Xuanha, a renowned powerhouse with a fearsome reputation spanning thousands of years, was now awaiting the decision of an Emperor Realm human?

Shen Ya Daojun narrowed his eyes at Zhong Shan, Lu Guitian frowned at him, Nie Fancheng's eyes gleamed slightly, Wuhuan maintained a stern face, and Xu Fu watched with great interest.

As for Di Xuanha, he wasn't necessarily following Zhong Shan's orders. The current situation was highly unusual and could potentially affect the entire land of Shenzhou. A misstep here could be detrimental to the Wolf Clan's future. The Wolf Clan was already aligned with Zhong Shan, so naturally, they were on the same side. While Di Xuanha believed his cultivation talent was unmatched, he acknowledged that Zhong Shan had a broader vision regarding world affairs. Zhong Shan's previous actions had proven his strategic insight.

Therefore, for the sake of the Wolf Clan's enduring legacy, Di Xuanha saw no issue in temporarily following Zhong Shan's lead. There was no shame in it.

"We can't leave now!" Zhong Shan said immediately.

"Eh?" The Heavenly Realm experts were slightly taken aback. Why would Zhong Shan, amidst a gathering of such powerful beings, want to get involved?

Yet, they couldn't deny that with Di Xuanha as an ally, Zhong Shan indeed had the capacity to participate.

"Oh?" Di Xuanha looked at Zhong Shan, waiting for further explanation.

Di Xuanha knew what kind of person Zhong Shan was. This "old fox" always acted with utmost caution. Even if he were to intervene, he would undoubtedly find a compelling reason to justify his actions, making them appear entirely righteous.

"This Ten Thousand Pills Conference was about the Eternal Sacred Platform. The competition isn't over yet. Leaving without it would be unacceptable," Zhong Shan stated.

Indeed, Zhong Shan's reason was flawless, leaving no room for accusations. But this demand also brought the conflict back to its origin. This was Zhong Shan's brilliance.

So, how would this be resolved? Zhong Shan's side undoubtedly had a legitimate claim to the platform, having refined an Immortal Pill. But this created a conflict with Xu Fu of Great Qin, who had also refined an Immortal Pill. Neither would back down without a definitive outcome.

Furthermore, Nie Fancheng had introduced a new complication by claiming the platform with three treasures, adding another layer of conflict. This intertwined with Lu Guitian's plan, who had discreetly allowed Nie Fancheng to obtain the treasures, not caring much about the platform but inadvertently drawing in multiple powerful factions.

First faction: Zhong Shan and Di Xuanha. Second faction: Xu Fu of Great Qin. Third faction: Nie Fancheng. Fourth faction: Lu Guitian, Wuhuan, and Shen Ya Daojun.

Zhong Shan's seemingly simple request suddenly made everyone uneasy. Neither Lu Guitian, Nie Fancheng, Xu Fu, nor Zhong Shan could claim the platform without contention.

The Eternal Sacred Platform, a nexus connecting yet dividing these four factions, now further complicated the already intricate relationships.

"Just take it and leave!" Lu Guitian said coldly.

"No!" Xu Fu immediately shook his head, affirming the complex nature of the situation.

The tension among the factions escalated as the unresolved status of the Eternal Sacred Platform continued to stir confusion and conflict.
