Chapter 733: Consultation (II)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
This had happened because of Zhou Bao, therefore, Yan Yuntian was very tolerant toward him. Yan Yuntian knew, of course, that he could only tolerate Zhou Bao because he could not subdue him.
“Well, everybody, I made myself very clear. The crisis of the Heaven Realm World is approaching. To ride out the storm, we need to unite all our forces and disregard previous enmity!”
“Humph!” When Yan Yuntian said “disregard previous enmity”, the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed Lord of Heaven let out a cold snort. He stared at Yu Taixuan with his strange red eyes. Yu Taixuan’s face stiffened for a second, and then returned to normal. “Your Majesty is right! In this time of crisis, we must disregard our previous enmity, for the benefit of the whole Heaven Realm World. We can learn from King Wuyang, who has provided several ancient Hidden Treasures to enhance the strength of the Heaven Realm World. He is really worthy of admiration!”
Zhou Bao spit out a bubble of saliva, and squinted at Yu Taixuan. He gave him a sneer and didn’t say a word before looking up and spitting out another string of saliva bubbles.
When the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed Lord of Heaven noticed Zhou Bao’s expression, a hint of an imperceptible yet meaningful smile flashed through his eyes. Apart from him, no one present knew that Zhou Bao had the bloodline of Fiery Eyes. His initial impression of Zhou Bao had been extremely poor, but now he was in the light, Zhou Bao was in the dark, and he had received a disciple from the Zhou Family. In this way, it wouldn’t be too difficult for the bloodline of Fiery Eyes to flourish once again in the Heaven Realm World. The b.l.o.o.d.y-robed Lord of Heaven was excited at the thought.
“The representatives of the eight major sects in the Seven-deity Regions and the Lord of Heaven Wei of Mysterious Fire Palace are all here. You guys are the overlords and the strongest in the Seven-deity Regions. Everyone is duty-bound to the crisis that the Seven-deity Regions is facing. There’s no objection to that, right?” He glanced around the representatives seated below, as if he were looking at the ministers in the Golden Hall of the Jin from the past.
“Father-in-law, please cut the bulls.h.i.+t. Everyone here is an overlord, and I don’t think they like to hear you beat around the bus.h.!.+” Zhou Bao said in a lazy tone as he stretched.
Yan Yuntian could see gloating smiles on the other nine faces. He glared at Zhou Bao, “Well, I’ll get straight to the point. We have united, but it is only in name. We still lack coordination. Only the big things will unite us. This is extremely inefficient and p.r.o.ne to errors. I would like for each big sect and its subordinate sects, schools and even families to select a few elite men, and form a joint team for unified deployment. We, the Human Emperor Palace, are planning to recruit a few Independent Pract.i.tioners. What do you think?”
The matter was a bit delicate. In short, Yan Yuntian wanted to harness the power of the sects to cultivate his personal power. The sects would never send their elite disciples. At most they would send a few Outer Core, frustrated, or aged disciples who had no room for progress. These people’s sense of ident.i.ty with their own sects was naturally not as strong as that of an elite disciple. Once they came to the Human Emperor Palace, Yan Yuntian could easily pull them into his camp if he wanted to. They would be his first high-end force. Coupled with the good fate of the Human Emperor, the Human Emperor Palace’s strength would increase considerably.
Everyone present thought of this, but no one objected. Yu Taixuan of the Divine Wind Palace was the first to agree.
The Heaven Realm World was facing its biggest crisis in 810, 000 years, since the end of antiquity times. At this time, a leader was necessary, and without Yan Yuntian, Divine Wind Palace would be the leader.
However, the Divine Wind Palace had been significantly weakened. They weren’t strong enough to lead. Since Yan Yuntian was willing to lead, they would certainly support his proposal no matter what did.
Once Yu Taixuan agreed, the other seven people would naturally not blatantly oppose him. What was more, they had more or less the same thoughts as Yu Taixuan. They decided to let the candidate for Human Emperor push himself forward.
The Mysterious Fire Palace, newly established by the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed Lord of Heaven had very few members. They weren’t even able to control the original territory of the Youxian Taoist Temple, let alone send people over. But he still sent someone to show his sincerity and kindness. The man was Ye Qingtian, one of Zhou Bao’s old rivals, but he was no longer qualified to be Zhou Bao’s rival these days.
Nevertheless, with the help of the b.l.o.o.d.y-robed Lord of Heaven, Ye Qingtian was now a Genuine Immortal, and only one step away from the Venerable Realm, which meant that he was able to undertake the task alone.
Finally, Yan Yuntian’s eyes settled on Zhou Bao. Others may not have known that there were many talents in the Wuyang Region, but he did. Over the course of more than 10 years, Zhou Bao had cultivated a number of experts, and some were even experts at the Mysterious Realm. The whole Wuyang Region was flouris.h.i.+ng. Now that even the newly established Mysterious Fire Palace was promising to send a Genuine Immortal, as his son-in-law, shouldn’t Zhou Bao be more supportive?
Feeling Yan Yuntian’s gaze, Zhou Bao frowned. This made Yan Yuntian a little nervous, but soon, his face became tranquil again. “Lord Yu is right. This is about the Heaven Realm World. Since everybody else has agreed, I certainly have no objection. It’s settled. When I return, I’ll send some of my people over to be at the disposal of the Human Emperor Palace!”
“Good!” Yan Yuntian was overjoyed at Zhou Bao’s cheery promise. His eyes grew softer as he looked at Zhou Bao and his previous dissatisfaction with his son-in-law was greatly reduced. After all, he was a great help to him. In the future, he would rely on Zhou Bao to gradually solidify his position among formidable enemies in the Heaven Realm World.
Now that it was settled, there was no need to be so nervous. Yan Yuntian began to relax. He ordered food and drinks and ate and talked with the crowd. For a while, the atmosphere in the Human Emperor Palace appeared very harmonious, but the hidden conflicts remained.
Zhou Bao’s seat was at the end of eight. There were many other representatives from small- and medium-sized sects and country rulers behind him. Three to four hundred people were toasting and talking jovially in the Human Emperor Palace. It was a lively scene.
Zhou Bao had no interest in joining them. He drank alone.
However, his name had resounded throughout the entire Seven-deity Regions, and many strangers came to toast to him, trying to make friends with him. Zhou Bao felt helpless, but still responded to them with a humble smile. Just as he was getting upset, a strange sensation came over him.
“Interesting!” His eyes flickered as if he had felt something. Almost immediately, an extremely arrogant voice was heard in the Human Emperor Palace.
“Haha… Is this the Heaven Realm World? Is this the Human Emperor Palace? You’re just a bunch of useless people. It won’t be difficult dealing with you!”
“Sh*t! fu*k! d.a.m.n you!”
Zhou Bao, who had thought it was interesting just a second ago, suddenly cursed, because after that voice, a devastating force fell from the sky.
“I’ll beat you this time, Lin Feng. Hahaha, I’m going to take the credit!”
“Who are you?”
“How dare you act so wild in the Human Emperor Palace!”
The people in the palace were not mediocre. Especially those with seats of honor, they had all reached the Lord of Heaven Realm. They shouted at the same time. All kinds of colors and lights shot from them towards the source of the sound.
Snap!!
It sounded like bamboo poles were being snapped in half. All the attacks bounced back with a mighty breath of destruction.
“A fairy weapon!”
“It’s a fairy weapon!”
“The attack was from a fairy weapon!”
“d.a.m.n it! How?! How could such a man sneak into the Human Emperor Palace?”
“…!”
In a flash, the attackers knew what had happened. They turned blue, as if they had been run over by a giant truck.
By the time they realized the enemy was attacking with a fairy weapon, it was too late. It was already coming towards them.
Even Zhou Bao’s Flipping Sky Seal would be no match against this destructive force.
Zhou Bao knitted his eyebrows. A faint yellow light spread out from his body, covering the entire Human Emperor Palace while the nine attacks failed.
Boom!!!
The sound of violent collision erupted.
One fairy weapon was attacking another fairy weapon!
