Chapter 3561: The North Profound Alliance in the Second Northern Region
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, it was more worth it to save the Celestial Talisman to escape from those from the t.i.tle Temple. If the t.i.tle Temple sent Eight Star G.o.ds of War after him, he would kill them all to avenge his master. If they sent a Nine Star G.o.d of War, he could easily escape with the Celestial Talisman from the Five Divine Elements.
Since Duan Ling Tian did not want to use the Celestial Talisman on Ji Ying, he decided to use a pseudonym instead. Then, he disguised himself by changing into a long black robe and wearing a hat to hide his appearance.
“There are three strong alliances in the Second Northern Region. The nearest one to me is the North Profound Alliance…”
After leaving the east region of the Nine Serenities Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian traveled north to the Second Northern Region.
Unlike the Heavenly Dao Alliance base, the North Profound Alliance base was located in a hidden ice cave. It was said that luminous pearls were suspended in the air to illuminate the cave.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian had arrived at the entrance of the Northern Profound Alliance. The width and height of the entrance measured more than 100 meters, and it was guarded by more than 11 members. Among the 11 guards, 10 of them constantly surveyed their surroundings while one of them hovered in the air cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian teleported in front of the 11 people without any hesitation.
The 10 guards were startled by Duan Ling Tian’s sudden appearance. Finally, one of them said, “State your purpose.”
The sudden appearance of a mysterious person dressed in a long black robe and a hat that covered his face made the guards wary. Moreover, there was a threatening air around that person.
“I just joined the Nine Serenities Battlefield not too long ago, and I’m looking for a place to settle down. I want to join the North Profound Alliance,” Duan Ling Tian said. He lowered his head slightly to hide his face.
“You’ll have to wait for another half a year before you can join the alliance,” one of the guards said.
“Is there a way for me to join the alliance now?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
“Only Seven Star G.o.ds of War or those who are stronger are exempted from the recruitment test,” one of the guards said before asking, “Are you a Seven Star G.o.d of War?”
“No, I’m not.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
“Then, you’ll have to wait half a year to take the recruitment test,” the guard said.
At this time, another guard interjected, “This is the main entrance of the North Profound Alliance. If you have no other business here, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
“I said I’m not a Seven Star G.o.d of War, but I didn’t say I’m weaker than a Seven Star G.o.d of War,” Duan Ling Tian said.
The guards narrowed their eyes upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. Did that mean the person in front of them was an Eight Star G.o.d of War? They looked at him skeptically, unsure of what to believe.
At this time, the person who was hovering cross-legged in the air, a skinny middle-aged man, finally opened his eyes. His eyes were s.h.i.+ning as he asked, “You’re an Eight Star G.o.d of War?”
“Bring me to your Leader,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Some of the guards inhaled sharply. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s tone and att.i.tude, it seemed like he was really an Eight Star G.o.d of War. If he was not an Eight Star G.o.d of War, then he likely had a death wish.
The skinny middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m Qi Jin, an elder of the North Profound Alliance. Are you sure you want to meet our Leader? I should warn you that if you’re not an Eight Star G.o.d of War, you’ll bear the charges of deceiving the North Profound Alliance. The punishment for that is death.”
“Please lead the way,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.
“Please wait for a moment. I’ve sent a message to Vice Leader Luo Feng,” Qi Jin said. His tone was much more polite now. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was likely an Eight Star G.o.d of War, and once Duan Ling Tian joined the alliance, Duan Ling Tian’s position would definitely be higher than his.
In the North Profound Alliance, the positions in descending order were the leader, the vice leader, the guardians, and the elders. There were only two Eight Star G.o.ds of War in the North Profound Alliance, which were their leader and vice leader. The guardians were all Seven Star G.o.ds of War, and the elders were Six Star G.o.ds of War.
Qi Jin, an elder of the North Profound Alliance, was a top Six Star G.o.d of War and was in charge of the guards at the entrance of the alliance base.
“Vice Leader?” Duan Ling Tian c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. “Does your Vice Leader have the authority to let me join the alliance?”
“Of course,” Qi Jin said with a hint of reverence, “Apart from our Leader, our Vice Leader, Lord Luo Feng, is also an Eight Star G.o.d of War.”
At this moment, a figure appeared as a gust of wind blew past the entrance of the North Profound Alliance base.
A young man dressed in greyish-white long robes appeared in front of everyone’s eyes. He was tall and good-looking, and he carried a n.o.ble air about him.
Qi Jin and the other guards bowed and greeted the young man immediately.
“Greetings, Lord Luo Feng.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly before he looked at the black-clad Duan Ling Tian who wore a hat to conceal his face. “Elder Qi Jin said you’re an Eight Star G.o.d of War who wishes to join our North Profound Alliance?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “Please make your move.”
Qi Jin and the other guards narrowed their eyes upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.
However, before Luo Feng responded, Duan Ling Tian made a move.
Luo Feng’s expression turned grim immediately.
In just a blink of an eye, the black cloak Duan Ling Tian had draped across his body seemed to have come to life as it shot toward Luo Feng at lightning speed. It looked like a streak of black light as it flew forward, leaving ripples in its wake.
Qin Jin and the others were shocked when they saw the terrifying technique from the law of s.p.a.ce.
“Retreat!” Qi Jin ordered the guards.
Alas, the shockwave from the energy swept past a few of them who retreated too late. They were sent flying, spitting out blood.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Luo Feng wasted no time in making his move as well. A mustard energy surged out and formed a wall in front of him. The wall shone with intricate patterns and inscriptions and looked indestructible. Clearly, he had comprehended the law of earth.
“Lord Luo Feng has put up his defenses. Since he comprehended the law of earth, even our Leader can’t break through his defenses in a short time…”
Qi Jin and the other guards watched the battle in front of them intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
Boom!
When the black cloak collided with Luo Feng’s energy wall, the wall began to tremble.
