Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1238: Wanfan Assembly

“Is the strength of a Yuan Monarch somewhat like this?” Luo Yunyang manipulated the massive force of the Samsara to envelop Yuan Venerate Xuanjing in an instant.

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing’s cultivation was extraordinary, but it wasn’t enough for him to even move an inch against Luo Yunyang’s suppression.

This was the pressure of a Yuan Monarch. It was indeed the pressure of a Yuan Monarch!

While suppressed, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing looked at Luo Yunyang in fear and reverence. After all, Luo Yunyang could easily take his life if he wanted to.

“There are only that many Yuan Monarchs in this world. Why is it that I… I haven’t heard of your name?” Yuan Venerate Xuanjing gritted his teeth and asked Luo Yunyang despite how frightened he was.

He was afraid that Luo Yunyang would kill him in a pique of anger, but he was even more afraid that he would die without knowing why.

By now, Luo Yunyang had also begun to pay more attention to Yuan Venerate Xuanjing. “I just broke through not long ago,” he replied.

“As a Yuan Monarch, you will become a distinguished guest even if you join the two major sects. However, you actually want to join our alliance. This…”

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing did not complete his sentence but he continued to look at Luo Yunyang as he said, “Are you really sure that you want to be in charge of our alliance?”

“Yes, I want to be in charge,” Luo Yunyang answered in all seriousness.

After mulling this over for a moment, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing solemnly said, “Since you want to be in charge of the alliance, I hereby represent myself and proclaim that you have my support!”

The decision of Yuan Venerate Xuanjing did not surprise Luo Yunyang. Since the formation of an alliance was meant to huddle and keep it warm, it was only natural that he would side with the strongest.

Furthermore, although these people were allies, no one could be sure that two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates would not sell them out in favor of their interests in the future.

After all, no one could give any guarantees in this sort of situation!

Although Luo Yunyang and Yuan Venerate Xuanjing were still in the same poses, the attitude and tone of their conversation had changed greatly.

Or rather, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing’s mannerisms had changed silently. In the beginning, he had merely wanted to recruit Luo Yunyang as an ally. Now, he had already submitted to Luo Yunyang’s authority.

“My Lord, since you have the strength of a Yuan Monarch, it is not that difficult to be in charge of the alliance. In fact, you merely need to subdue the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates and the alliance will be yours!

“My Lord, I wonder if you can handle the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates given your current cultivation?” Yuan Venerate Xuanjing asked Luo Yunyang respectfully.

“Easy!” It was indeed simple for Luo Yunyang to deal with the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

Upon hearing Luo Yunyang’s casual reply, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing smiled. “The two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates in charge of the alliance are cultivating on Xiluo Mountain now. Why don’t you take a trip with me to Xiluo Mountain, my Lord?”

Luo Yunyang did not reject the proposal of Yuan Venerate Xuanjing. Although he did not fully believe in Yuan Venerate Xuanjing, he believed in his own capabilities.

As a martialist with a cultivation base at the Yuan Monarch level, usual tactics were no longer useful to Luo Yunyang and could even be considered a joke.

Absolute strength would bring absolute confidence.

Xiluo Mountain was more than a million miles away from the Songyang Sword Sect, but the distance was a piece of cake for two Yuan Venerates in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived before Xiluo Mountain. Xiluo Mountain was grandiose, occupied an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, and dazzled amid a multicolor radiance as nomological laws loomed in between the shrouding lights, looking very much like a piece of divine land.

The formation array outside Xiluo Mountain was able to stop Yuan Venerates from entering and leaving freely.

“Greetings, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing!” The disciples guarding the mountain knew Yuan Venerate Xuanjing and thus respectfully came to greet him in succession.

Although Yuan Venerate Xuanjing had submitted to Luo Yunyang, he didn’t seem to be the slightest bit timid.

After acknowledging the disciples guarding the mountain, he asked, “Are the two fellow Daoists here?”

“The two Patriarchs are attending to some guests.” A disciple frowned slightly and answered respectfully, “Yuan Venerate, you are the distinguished guest of our Patriarchs. You can go directly to the Hall of Brightness if you want to meet them.”

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing didn’t expect the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates to have guests. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “I’ll go and meet the fellow Daoists then.”

Upon saying that, he made an after-you gesture in Luo Yunyang’s direction and said, “Please come with me, Brother Luo.”

Luo Yunyang naturally knew what Yuan Venerate Xuanjing’s gesture meant so he did not decline. He followed Yuan Venerate Xuanjing into Xiluo Mountain and arrived at the Hall of Brightness.

A ninth-level Heavenly Venerate stood guard outside the Hall of Brightness. When he saw Yuan Venerate Xuanjing and Luo Yunyang walk in, he nodded gently and said, “Yuan Venerate Xuanjing, the two Patriarchs are meeting important guests. If this isn’t an important matter, you should wait a moment before entering.”

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing politely told the ninth-level Heavenly Venerate, “Martial Nephew Song Ming, who is inside that needs both your patriarchs to attend to him?”

The ninth-level Heavenly Venerate named Song Ming hesitated for a moment before replying, “It’s a visitor from the Dakongfan Sect.”

Luo Yunyang paid the most attention to the Dakongfan Sect and the Taixu Sect, as they were the most capable of directing this massacre if it happened.

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing’s face darkened instantly as he asked, “What is the Dakongfan Sect doing here?”

“The Dakongfan Sect is holding a Wanfan Assembly and has invited us to participate!” A tinge of anger could be detected in Song Ming’s tone.

Obviously, Song Ming did not consider the Dakongfan Sect good folks and was unwilling to have any dealings with them.

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing hesitated for an instant before glancing at Luo Yunyang. He would never participate in the Wanfan Assembly if it were up to him.

After all, there was a huge difference between giving advice and coming forward to deal with matters directly. He didn’t want to be directly involved in this matter.

“Let’s go in and have a look. Let’s see who came here from the Dakongfan Sect!” Luo Yunyang said after a moment of hesitation.

“Alright, let’s go in and have a look then.” After hearing Luo Yunyang’s order, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing told Song Ming, “I’ll go in with Brother Luo.”

Song Ming was a little confused about the relationship between Luo Yunyang and Yuan Venerate Xuanjing, but he also knew that the things between Yuan Venerates were beyond him and he could not interfere. Thus, he replied respectfully, “In that case, please come in.”

The exterior of the Hall of Brightness looked down-to-earth and sturdy, but the interior was lavish the moment they stepped in.

The lavish interior was not achieved by decorations made of precious materials but by the constellations and stars that filled the space as if it was a stand-alone realm outside this world.

Among the sun and moon hanging in the sky were two sitting figures who seemed integrated into the main hall as they lounged in their seats.

Both of them were Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates, but the majesty they exuded while sitting in the hall made it seem as though they had surpassed Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates by far.

Luo Yunyang did not show much interest in the two men’s imposing bearing. Although the combination of the two men seemed formidable, they would still be much weaker if they truly met a Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

Compared to the two men, the person seated below them was somewhat weaker, as he was merely an ordinary Taishi Yuan Venerate.

Taishi Yuan Venerate, Taichu Yuan Venerate, Taiyi Yuan Venerate!

The Taishi Yuan Venerate was the weakest of the three levels of the Yuan Venerate. These cultivators were incapable of fighting back even against an ordinary Xingtian Taiyi Yuan Venerate, let alone a Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

However, his posture and manner while facing the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates were not servile. It even felt like he was a little overbearing.

“Patriarchs, this is not my intention. It is Yuan Saint Wuxiang’s intention. Both of you should know what will happen if you upset him. No one will be able to contain the old man’s anger, let alone the two of you.”

The tall Taishi Yuan Venerate spoke in a crisp, resonating voice that felt threatening to a certain extent.

If it weren’t for the unusual origin of this person, anyone who dared to threaten Taiyi Yuan Venerates would be doomed to die.

The expression on the two Patriarchs, who stood lofty on the sun and moon like divine beings who controlled everything, turned unsightly. After all, it was very difficult for them to make a decision now.

When they saw Yuan Venerate Xuanjing coming in, they both felt as if they had met their savior and said immediately, “Yuan Venerate Xuanjing, you’re here. Please take a seat quickly.”

At first, the two Patriarchs wanted to get out of this embarrassing situation this way, but as soon as they opened their mouths, the Taishi Yuan Venerate of the Dakongfan Sect snapped coldly, “Patriarchs, how can you allow other people to enter an important location like this freely? Does your sect still have any rules?”

He sounded like he was reprimanding them, so the faces of both Patriarchs turned ugly again.

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing was also unhappy about it. Although he did not want to offend the members of the Dakongfan Sect, his future reputation would be ruined if he did not say anything after being dismissed.

Even so, he was still concerned about the reputation of the Dakongfan Sect. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Yunyang, who stood beside him, gave a slap to the person from the Dakongfan Sect.

There was too much of a difference between the cultivation of the Taishi Yuan Venerate from the Dakongfan Sect and Luo Yunyang. A mere slap from Luo Yunyang was enough to send the Taishi Yuan Venerate flying away.

The two powerhouses seated on the sun and moon had never expected Luo Yunyang to be so violent as to slap someone just because of what he said. Supposedly, anything that happened in the main hall would not escape the control of the two powerhouses. However, Luo Yunyang’s cultivation had surpassed theirs by far.

“How dare you!” The Taishi Yuan Venerate who had been sent flying screamed in resentment.
