Chapter 1294 - Shocking News
There existed a Sky Drum in the Anti-Heaven Alliance that would be sounded when something serious happened. All Martial Monarchs, elders, deacons, etc. in the alliance had to a.s.semble swiftly when they heard its chime.
The last time it was sounded, the Illusionist Martial Monarch and his crew had gathered the crowd and showed them the six Monarch Blood Scrolls to expel Qin Nan from the alliance.
"The Sky Drum was sounded? Let"s go and take a look."
Qin Nan"s eyes flickered with astonishment. He flew out of the palace with a flicker.
The dojo not far away was already crowded with people, bustling with noise as the elders, deacons, etc. had arrived.
Further ahead stood three people, who were the Illusionist Martial Monarch, Martial Monarch Rongtian, and Martial Monarch Mingkong.
However, unlike before, their faces were slightly pale, as if they had suffered severe injuries and were still not fully recovered.
"Greetings, Hall Leader Qin Nan."
The elders, deacons and disciples brought their fists together when they saw Qin Nan, not daring to give him the cold shoulder.
The Illusionist Martial Monarch"s crew shuddered, but they did not say a word.
"Qin Nan, over here."
A pleasant voice came from among the crowd.
The voice belonged to Mu Mu, who also had joined the Anti-Heaven Alliance.
The elders, deacons, etc. wore envious looks. They had never seen Mu Mu taking the initiative to greet anyone before. Even those who had approached her had only ever received a cold response in return.
Qin Nan brought his fists together toward the crowd with a smile, before landing beside Mu Mu.
It had been a few months since they last met one another. Her smooth black hair had reached her waist, while the black, golden-silk dress she was wearing perfectly presented her astonis.h.i.+ng physique. Together with her attractive appearance and her pair of red phoenix eyes, she had a unique charm to her, standing out from among the crowd.
In addition to that, Qin Nan had discovered that the aura Mu Mu was emitting had grown even more mysterious, with a vague, disastrous will.
"Could it be that she had gone to the Wretched Disaster Forest and was picked to be the successor?"
Qin Nan pondered.
At that instant, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Six astonis.h.i.+ng "whooshes" could be heard coming from the distance, followed by six magnificent monarch auras, which felt like six giant storms sweeping the entire dojo.
The two in the lead were none other than Martial Monarch Guiwu and the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch.
Behind them were a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance, a young man wearing a long icy robe, a middle-aged woman with water drops circling her figure, and a black-haired old man with a blood-colored cape draped over his shoulders.
"Aren"t they Martial Monarch Yuqing, Martial Monarch Dongku, Martial Monarch Liuhe, and the Crimson Abyss Martial Monarch?"
"What"s going on? All nine Martial Monarchs are here?"
The crowd was astounded after seeing this.
Since the Anti-Heaven Alliance had been established, they had rarely seen the nine Martial Monarchs be present simultaneously.
Even the last time the Sky Drum was sounded, there were only four Martial Monarchs.
What exactly had happened, to bring all nine Martial Monarchs here?
"So they are the remaining four Martial Monarchs?"
Qin Nan raised his brows slightly, as it was also his first time meeting all the Martial Monarchs from the Anti-Heaven Alliance.
"This Martial Monarch Yuqing and Martial Monarch Liuhe each possess cultivations of the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm. Martial Monarch Dongku has achieved the fourth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, while the Crimson Abyss Martial Monarch is a sixth-layer Martial Monarch..."
Qin Nan glanced at the nine Martial Monarchs with his left eye and immediately peeked through their cultivations.
"Looks like everyone is here."
As the six Martial Monarchs arrived, a calm voice echoed from the deep skies. The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d wore his usual expressionless face as he approached the dojo in a long, white robe.
"Greetings, Senior Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d."
The nine Martial Monarchs and the rest of the crowd were startled, who immediately sent their regards.
"HAHAHA, it"s been so many years since everyone has been gathered here. You all look exactly the same."
Before the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d could speak, a peal of pleasant laughter could be heard from another direction in the sky.
The crowd could only see a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat, a straw cape, and a pair of cloth shoes, with a somewhat outgrown beard and disheveled hair glancing at the crowd smilingly.
"Nine Continents, it"s a surprise to see you here."
The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d said calmly.
"Weren"t you the one who forced me to come?"
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes.
"Senior Nine Continents Sword G.o.d?"
Meanwhile, the elders, deacons, and disciples were completely dumbfounded, as none of them had seen the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d in person since they had joined the Anti-Heaven Alliance.
They did not expect him to be there too.
"This..."
The nine Martial Monarchs were experiencing a great shock.
They had returned to the Anti-Heaven Alliance under the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d"s order, but they were clueless about what had happened.
And now, the two Sword G.o.ds had arrived in person.
What exactly was about to happen?
"Such a unique presence."
Qin Nan was not surprised, yet he had discovered with his left eye that the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d was emitting a strange force as if he had merged into one with the s.p.a.ce.
Normally, since this was the s.p.a.ce inside the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword, only the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries could possibly merge with the s.p.a.ce.
"Let"s get down to business."
The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d only cast a side glance at the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d, before closing his eyes and falling silent.
"You..."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d"s lips twisted after receiving the response. He withheld the urge to beat up the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d and glanced at the crowd with a stern look.
"Fellow Martial Monarchs, elders, deacons, and disciples, you"ve been summoned here to be told an important matter which will determine the fate of the Anti-Heaven Alliance."
The words from the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d were like claps of thunder, exploding in everyone"s heart.
The atmosphere suddenly intensified, as if the entire s.p.a.ce was clenched tightly.
"Determine the fate of the Anti-Heaven Alliance?"
The Martial Monarchs, elders, deacons, and disciples were startled.
Even Qin Nan was intrigued.
"As you all know, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground is the strongest among the Three Great Factions. It"s not exaggerating to say that it"s the strongest faction in the Canglan Continent.
"Our Anti-Heaven Alliance is going against a faction like that.
"Even though it seems like our Anti-Heaven Alliance has a powerful army, it still is a huge difference compared to the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which is nowhere enough to pose a threat to the South-Heaven Sacred Ground."
The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d said calmly, whose eyes flickered as he spoke.
"As such, the Alliance Leader has been visiting various factions to negotiate.
"Currently, the Flame Tribe, Lightning Tribe, and Blood Tribe among the Eight Ancient Tribes, these three ancient tribes have officially sworn an oath to join our...
"Anti-Heaven Alliance."
The words served as a shocking thunder.
