Heaven Slaying Blade

The battle in the sky came to an end. A vast part of the cosmic canopy was directly destroyed. Billions of miles of barriers were also obliterated.

The three Supreme realm beings of the Shalan Bandits were ultimately subdued along with the primordial spirit of the ancient ancestor by Spiritual Master Lingtong, resulting in the primordial spirits of the former and current leaders fleeing one after another.

With the end of the high-level battle, the members of the Shalan Bandits below immediately knew the outcome, and they completely lost their fighting spirit.

A large number of Shalan Bandits chose to commit suicide. As the saying goes, even in death... they were unwilling to be captives. Nor did they want to be subordinated under anyone.

This war also truly reached its finale.

The Young Master Shalan, this devastatingly beautiful yet ruthless woman, did not choose suicide.

Because at the headquarters of the Shalan Bandits, there were still many family members of the bandits. Those people, relatively speaking, were a group of fragile beings. Not to mention the Elite Alliance, even the forces of Canggu City were enough to annihilate them all.

So she couldn't die; she had to find a way for those beings to survive.

"Gu Bingbing, I want to exchange my death for a way out for those innocent old, young, women, and children," Shalan stopped fighting, standing there covered in blood, looking at Gu Bingbing.

Gu Bingbing said indifferently: "In this world, who is truly innocent? Let alone the members of your Shalan Bandits, are they really innocent?"

Shalan's face turned grim, looking at Gu Bingbing: "Are you saying you want to kill them all?"

Gu Bingbing said, "Exactly."

"Alright, very well, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say." Shalan directly transmitted orders, calling everyone out to resist. She understood that the Shalan Bandits, this time, were doomed no matter what.

If they had won, perhaps they dared not kill all the direct descendants of these ancient clans from the Elite Alliance. But they lost... that was the reality. It seemed very tragic, and she was powerless to change it.

Because this is war.

In the end, the Young Master Shalan died in battle, and the entire Shalan Bandit force was wiped out.

Perhaps some remnants of the Shalan Bandits had long been sent to various places, hiding with disguised identities.

But this force, which had dominated the Tunnel World for endless ages, was completely annihilated in this war!

Of the three generations of Shalan, two fled, one died in battle.

This battle directly shocked the entire Tunnel World.

The Elite Alliance also truly emerged with this battle!

Meanwhile, Chu Mo and Luo Feihong, just as the battle ended, rushed over. They brought with them tens of thousands of elite members of the Elite Alliance.

Because the various ancient clans had no time to react and decide how to treat the Elite Alliance, they trekked unimpeded. When the time came for the two forces to unite, the direct power of the entire Elite Alliance would finally take shape.

As for the power they could project outward, it was an astonishing number.

After the battle, Chu Mo and Spiritual Master Lingtong both disappeared.

Many wanted to find the two of them, but even Gu Bingbing only received a brief message from Chu Mo: I have matters to resolve with Spiritual Master Lingtong, so I'll be away for a while. You coordinate the Elite Alliance with Chuchu. The issue of beings on the Investiture of the Gods losing their divine status probably can't be concealed for long. If there's a problem, just push it onto Spiritual Master Lingtong.

Gu Bingbing wanted to contact Chu Mo more, but there was no response from him.

After a brief thought, Gu Bingbing understood. At this time, even without Spiritual Master Lingtong, Chu Mo indeed shouldn't appear in Canggu City anymore.

The Elite Alliance made such a huge stir this time, even challenging the Shalan Bandits. It would surely shock the entire Tunnel World, this battle will certainly leave a significant mark in the history of the Tunnel. As key figures in this battle, they would naturally be the focus of the most attention.

But this wasn't what Chu Mo wanted, perhaps it's what Spiritual Master Lingtong wanted, but since Chu Mo had returned, he wouldn't give Spiritual Master Lingtong that chance again.

Gu Bingbing was quite skilled in this aspect. She immediately set arrangements to publicize this war as a great victory of the entire Elite Alliance. Facing inquiries from the Ancient God Family and other ancient clans about the two Supreme cultivators, she claimed complete ignorance.

She only said they were two mysterious powerhouses with unclear origins and that her relationship with them was merely cooperative. She provided resources, and those two offered protection for the Elite Alliance.

That was why those two didn't appear initially.

Gu Bingbing's explanation naturally did not satisfy those ancient clans. Even many high-ranking members of the Ancient God Family voiced doubts about Gu Bingbing's answer. There was even a strong demand to remove all of Gu Bingbing's positions in the Ancient God Family and summon her back immediately.

But those voices were quickly suppressed.

Are you kidding? Is Gu Bingbing so easily manipulated now?

Even if all her positions were removed, so what? Would she just return directly to the family?

No, she wouldn't!

Because she is the Deputy Leader of the Elite Alliance!

The power and resources she controls far exceed those of the City Lord in the Ancient God Family's Canggu City!

Therefore, those who propose such suggestions purely don't want to see Gu Bingbing doing well, motivated by unspeakable intentions.

Other ancient clans share similar situations. Criticism also targets elite descendants within the Elite Alliance who hold high positions.

However, very few can dictate these descendants' destinies. Each of them is the direct heir of their respective family! Their identities and statuses are particularly high.

Finally, a month after the war, the ancient clans in the Tunnel made their first response towards the Elite Alliance.

And that is: neither support nor oppose!

This outcome essentially implies tacit acknowledgment.

Nevertheless, in the shadows, surveillance on the Elite Alliance rose significantly compared to before.

Moreover, these ancient clans secretly demanded their descendants within the Elite Alliance to climb higher! Even if they can't become Deputy Leaders, they should at least be powerful elders! Simultaneously, regarding Chu Chu, the Alliance Leader of the Elite Alliance, two completely different voices emerged.

One voice, voiced by many ancient clans, insists such a terrifying force shouldn't be led by someone who ascended from a lower universe. Especially when that person is a pseudo-god with divinity in their mind!

"This is ridiculous! It's simply insulting to the Elite Alliance!"

This opinion was agreed upon by many, but it didn't have a decisive impact.

The other voice came from the Luoshui Family, one of the oldest families in the Tunnel. Unexpectedly, they chose an extremely tolerant attitude towards this matter. They very much supported a girl like Chu Chu to control this emerging force!

The reasons were simple and very straightforward.

"Firstly, Chu Chu is the daughter-in-law of the Luoshui Family; to the Luoshui Family, she is one of us."

"Secondly, Chu Chu has always maintained a distance from the Luoshui Family. She is independent, essentially an entity separate from all ancient clans. Thus, her becoming the Leader can coordinate various relations. Otherwise, if this position is handed to the direct heir of any ancient clan, the others would... directly oppose."

These two reasons are extremely straightforward, with no concealment whatsoever.

They openly stated Chu Chu is the Luoshui Family's daughter-in-law without hiding it. And then directly mentioned the most crucial factor: only Chu Chu, the Luoshui's daughter-in-law, is the most suitable for this Leader position!

Many initially wanted to instinctively rebut upon hearing this. But after careful consideration, there was nothing to argue about.

Chu Chu is the Dao companion of Luo Feihong; in fact, everyone knew this for a long time. They just hadn't expected the Luoshui Family to change their attitude and directly agree to this matter!

"A bunch of old foxes!" Countless people cursed the shamelessness of the Luoshui Family in private.

Because the straightforward reason given by the Luoshui Family was though they admitted Chu Chu's identity, Chu Chu... never personally acknowledged it!

Therefore, that's why the Luoshui Family claims Chu Chu is separate from all ancient clans.

This point... is also correct!

Although things are this way, those ancient clans still feel extremely displeased. Everyone knows no matter if Chu Chu acknowledges it or not, her identity remains unchanged.

As a daughter-in-law of the Luoshui Family, even if she doesn't fight for them, she certainly won't become an easy enemy.

As for having divinity in her mind, is such a matter... really a problem?

So many years have passed, and though those on the Investiture of the Gods are pseudo-gods, they have proven their worth. One must keep up with the times, right?

Thus, despite the arguments, in the end, this matter could only temporarily remain unsettled.

Because whether it's the other ancient clans or the Luoshui Family, they're all acutely aware. They have no effective means against the Elite Alliance!

Can they eradicate it? There are many of their own descendants inside, and all are direct heirs. Naturally, they can't just let it be; what specifically should be done? They can only let their descendants strive for higher positions within the Elite Alliance.

This result seems somewhat stifling. But there are no other options. Why did it take them until today to suddenly realize the value of the Elite Alliance? In the past, almost all major figures thought the Elite Alliance was nothing more than a child's play, a minor force. It appeared formidable, but was essentially a loose organization that could collapse anytime.

Then, a great battle, the Shalan Bandits were annihilated!

Scaring countless people.

Of course, more people now want to uncover the two beings who can suppress the Supreme.

In the end, they only found out about a mysterious "Big Brother," without obtaining any useful information!
