Chapter 3564: Luo Yi Ming’s Secret Wish
Mi Xuan seldom visited the Devata Realms when he was the Clan Leader of the Phantom Clan. However, he was still aware of the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperor Ranking. Hence, he knew Ji You was ranked first among the Heavenly Emperors. Even if he was previously unaware of it, he would have gained this information from Tang San Pao’s memories after he possessed Tang San Pao.
Wu Hong Qing nodded. “That’s right. I reached out to him first.”
Mi Xuan furrowed his brows. “You reached out to him first? You didn’t tell him about the Five Divine Elements, did you?”
“Of course not.” Wu Qing shook his head. “I told him the t.i.tle Temple will help him look for Duan Ling Tian. However, I told him that Duan Ling Tian has to be captured alive, and he’ll be held in the t.i.tle Temple so we can learn more about the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Heavenly Emperor Ji You knows about the t.i.tle Temple’s interest in the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. He has expressed interest as well so I promised to share what we learn from Duan Ling Tian with him. Apart from that, he wants Duan Ling Tian’s divine artifact.”
Mi Xuan said, “Since he wants Duan Ling Tian’s divine artifact, it only shows that Duan Ling Tian’s divine artifact isn’t ordinary. What do you think?”
“I agree,” Wu Hong Qing nodded and said, “Ji You isn’t stupid. For him to show interest in Duan Ling Tian’s divine artifact definitely means the divine artifact is special. However, is a divine artifact, extraordinary and ordinary, comparable to the Five Divine Elements? Don’t forget the Five Divine Elements in Duan Ling Tian’s body have all evolved into their higher forms. Even if we only possess one Divine Element, we’ll become Emperors of G.o.ds or Supreme G.o.ds even if we can’t become supreme powerhouses…”
Based on these words, it was clear Wu Hong Qing was willing to give up an extraordinary divine artifact in exchange for the Five Divine Elements.
“You’re right.” Mi Xuan nodded.
“How strong are you now?” Wu Hong Qing asked as he looked at Mi Xuan with an antic.i.p.atory gaze.
Mi Xuan replied indifferently, “Although it’s not perfect, my Celestial Origin Energy now has traces of the Divine Energy. I haven’t regained mastery of the laws I comprehended, but it’s not a problem for me to kill ordinary Nine Star G.o.ds of War.”
Wu Hong Qing’s eyes lit up when Mi Xuan said he was capable of killing Nine Star G.o.ds of War.
“Mi Xuan, the t.i.tle Temple will do all it can to help you capture Duan Ling Tian alive. If you can capture him alive, steal the Five Divine Elements and kill him! If Ji You is unaware of it, then claim the divine artifact as well. You can keep it. The t.i.tle Temple will send a group of Eight Star G.o.ds of War to a.s.sist you. I’m also in the midst of gathering a group of Nine Star G.o.ds of War. For now, a Branch Temple Master who’s a Nine Star G.o.d of War will join you soon…”
Clearly, Wu Hong Qing had not been slacking off while Mi Xuan was away.
“Should I go to the Given Alliance when I return to the Nine Serenities Battlefield?” Mi Xuan asked.
“Yes.” Wu Hong Qing nodded. “I made a deal with Ji You. I’ll send a Nine Star G.o.d of War to a.s.sist his first disciple, Ji Ying, to capture Duan Ling Tian. Initially, I planned to send a Branch Temple Master there. However, since you’re now a Nine Star G.o.d of War, you should go to the Given Alliance instead.”
There were a few Nine Star G.o.ds of War in the t.i.tle Temple who were Branch Temple Masters. However, most of them were busy dealing with the t.i.tle Temple branches’ affairs and could not freely leave. They would not be able to leave and enter the Nine Serenities Battlefield even if Wu Hong Qing wanted to send them there.
In fact, Duan Ling Tian had considered this as well. Hence, he was rather bold and certain the t.i.tle Temple would not send Nine Star G.o.ds of War after him. At most, they would send a group of Eight Star G.o.ds of War after him.
“You should a.s.sist Ji You’s disciple, Ji Ying. I’ll send another Nine Star G.o.d of War to a.s.sist you. Ji You will be sending a Nine Star G.o.d of War as well. A group of four Nine Star G.o.ds of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield is practically invincible. It won’t be difficult for us to find Duan Ling Tian,” Wu Hong Qing said as his eyes burned with greed.
…
Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Wu Hong Qing was now working together with Mi Xuan and Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven. He had no idea that four Nine Star G.o.ds of War were now on a mission to hunt him down.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian had disguised himself and used the pseudonym ‘Li Feng’ to join the North Profound Alliance.
The North Profound used to be one of the three strongest alliances in the Second Northern Region. However, with the addition of Duan Ling Tian, the North Profound Alliance was now the strongest alliance in the Second Northern Region, surpa.s.sing the other two alliances.
“I think the North Profound Alliance is strong enough to defeat the other two alliances now…”
“Of course! We have three Eight Star G.o.ds of War in our alliance now. Moreover, our Supreme Guardian is stronger than our Vice Leader and possibly our Leader!”
“I wonder if our Leader and Supreme Guardian will do anything to the other two alliances…”
The alliances in the Nine Serenities Battlefield not only provided one with shelter, but they also provided one with support. After all, it was difficult to survive alone and without help in the Nine Serenities Battlefield. If they worked together, they would be able to obtain more treasures and resources even if they had to share among themselves.
For example, a group of ordinary Six Star G.o.ds of War could easily kill a top Six Star G.o.d of War if they worked together.
Naturally, stronger alliances would attract more people, and as a result, they would grow bigger as well.
The three alliances in the Second Northern Region had been locked in a stalemate for a while now. Their strength was equal and it was difficult for them to take the other out unless they joined forces. However, that would defeat the purpose of dominating the entire Second Northern Region. However, when Duan Ling Tian joined the North Profound Alliance as Li Feng, he broke the balance between the three alliances. With his presence, the Northern Profound Alliance had grown significantly stronger and was capable of taking down the other two alliances.
Hence, many members of the North Profound Alliance eagerly antic.i.p.ated the day their Leader and Supreme Guardian would wipe out the other two alliances and dominate the Second Northern Region.
However, it did not take long for them to realize that their Supreme Guardian seemed to have vanished into thin air after joining the North Profound Alliance. For this reason, a few of the Guardian looked for Luo Feng to inquire about the matter.
“Lord Luo Feng, now that we have a Supreme Guardian, aren’t we going to attack the other two alliances?”
“That’s up to the Leader or the Supreme Guardian,” Luo Feng replied. This was the response he gave to everyone who asked him this question.
In the end, there was nothing the members of the North Profound Alliance could do but wait. They did not dare to approach their Leader after all, and it was difficult to even catch a glimpse of their Supreme Guardian, let alone ask him questions.
When Luo Feng met Luo Yi Ming, he asked, “Brother, don’t you think you should say something. The members are waiting for an answer. Are we going to attack the two alliances now that we have the Supreme Guardian on our side?”
Luo Yi Ming shook his head. “I’ll make an announcement when the time is right. Now’s not the right time. The Supreme Guardian just joined us not too long ago. What if we raise this matter to him and cause him to feel displeased? It’d be disadvantageous to us if he leaves. We should wait for the Supreme Guardian to develop a better relations.h.i.+p with us before we involve him in this matter. Moreover, you know he’s not someone we can afford to offend.”
Luo Feng nodded. Then, he asked worriedly, “However, the other two alliances must have found out by now that we have another Eight Star G.o.ds of War in our ranks. Will they join forces and launch a preemptive strike?”
“Join forces? Preemptive strike?” Luo Yi Ming smiled. “I really wish they’d do that.”
“Why? Wouldn’t that be a disaster for us?” Luo Feng asked, shocked and confused.
