603: Chapter 603 The Hundred Immortals Alliance's Conspiracy
Everyone stared intently at the fluctuations of the Origin on the water mirror and the contents of the Jade Slip, their eyes flashing with shock and greed, their internal Qi fluctuating slightly with their emotions.
The leading Immortal King had a resolute face and prominent brow bones; he was the Grand Elder of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, Immortal King Cangxuan.
He stroked his beard, his voice carrying an irrepressible excitement:
"This great world may seem like just a Lower Realm, but its world Origin is flourishing to a degree far exceeding any other Lower Realm of the same level."
"There must be significant opportunities there. We should immediately dispatch experts to take it."
"We must not be careless!"
Another Immortal King said in a deep voice, "Do not forget the fall of Immortal Lord Minggu."
"Immortal Lord Minggu was a Middle Stage Immortal Lord of our alliance. He went to suppress a barren fragment of an immortal domain."
"It should have been an easy task, yet he couldn't even send back a single message."
"There must be something strange about Chenyun Immortal Domain. Perhaps the person behind it is related to this great world."
An Immortal King with a sinister expression on the right spoke slowly, his voice cold: "Brother Cangxuan is absolutely right."
"But the more this is the case, the more it proves the value of this world. A world that an existence capable of killing an Immortal Lord cares about so much must be worth a fortune!"
"But right now, our alliance is at war with the Zixia Immortal Domain."
A gentle-looking Immortal King in a white robe on the left frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
"The frontline battles are intense, and all our main experts are deployed on the battlefield. If we were to divert a large number of experts to the Xuanhuang Great World now..."
"I fear the Zixia Immortal Domain would take the opportunity to counterattack. By then, we would be attacked from both sides, losing more than we gain."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly fell into silence.
Immortal King Cangxuan's brow furrowed as he tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
The Zixia Immortal Domain was quite powerful and had been entangled with the Hundred Immortals Alliance for a long time. Rashly withdrawing troops was indeed very risky.
A moment later, an Immortal King who had remained silent and whose aura was the heaviest slowly opened his eyes, a flash of determination in them:
"There is no need to rush. In my opinion, we can delay the deployment and send an army there in a year's time."
"One year?" The other three Immortal Kings looked over together, confusion in their eyes.
That Immortal King nodded slowly and explained in a steady tone:
"Indeed, one year! You've forgotten that Immortal Lord Mo Chen has been stuck at the Peak of the Immortal Lord Realm for many years, focusing on his closed-door cultivation."
"Calculating the time, he will definitely Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm within a year."
"At that time, Immortal King Mo Chen will personally lead the team, supplemented by three Late Stage Immortal Lords and a thousand True Immortal elites."
"We'll first take Chenyun Immortal Domain as a springboard and then seize that world. That should be enough to handle any unforeseen circumstances."
He paused and continued, "Chenyun Immortal Domain is remote, and its immortal spirit qi is almost nonexistent."
"Even if there is an expert capable of killing an Immortal Lord, no matter how strong they are, there must be a limit."
Immortal King Cangxuan's eyes lit up, and he laughed, clapping his hands. "Good! We'll do as Immortal King Shiji says!"
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, his tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness: "Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit!"
"This world hides great opportunities; we must not be careless!"
"This military operation must be swift. At the same time, the expert who can kill an Immortal Lord must either be recruited or completely eliminated. We must leave no future troubles!"
The other three Immortal Kings nodded one after another, determination showing in their eyes.
On Zizhu Peak, Gu Changge slowly opened his eyes. Beneath his calm expression, a very faint ripple passed through.
He picked up the slightly cooled tea and took a sip.
"One year."
He looked at Xuan Yangzi and stated this conclusion in a flat tone.
"What one year?"
Xuan Yangzi quickly realized, "Are you talking about the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
Gu Changge nodded.
Although he didn't know how Gu Changge knew it would be a year, Gu Changge had always been steady. If he said one year, then it was likely correct.
"A newly ascended Immortal King, three Late Stage Immortal Lords, and an army..."
Gu Changge added softly.
"Their emphasis on this world is far beyond my expectations."
Gu Changge put down his teacup and tapped the stone table lightly with his fingertip. A faint light spread out, projecting a simplified star chart in mid-air.
"They don't just want Chenyun Immortal Domain; they want the Xuanhuang Great World."
Xuan Yangzi looked at the star chart, his voice low:
"One year is a hundred years within the Cangyun World. To Cultivate forces capable of opposing an Immortal King in a hundred years... the time is too tight."
As soon as he finished speaking, two streaks of light streaked across the sky, carrying majestic yet restrained immortal power, landing gently in the small courtyard of Zizhu Peak. They were Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.
The two stood tall, their aura condensed. Though not ostentatious, they carried a sharpness born of long-standing battle.
Gu Changge looked up and gave them a faint glance. "The newly ascended Immortal King will be handled by Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai."
"As for the others, I'll trouble Senior Brother to coordinate and oversee the front lines."
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai bowed together, their voices resonant: "By our master's command!"
Nearby, Xuan Yangzi looked up. When integrating the three domains earlier, he had seen Xiao Hei take action, instantly wounding an Immortal Lord.
Hearing Gu Changge tell the two of them to handle an Immortal King, although he was surprised, he felt it was somewhat reasonable.
A thought turned, and a question quietly surfaced in his mind: Just how strong is Changge?
Leaving an Immortal King-level opponent to Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai... could his strength have already far exceeded the Immortal King level?
Had he even touched a higher Realm?
Xuan Yangzi frowned slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of his teacup, then he shook his head gently.
Forget it, no more guessing, no more asking.
He knew Gu Changge's character too well. Even if he asked, he might not get the truth.
Right now, the Hundred Immortals Alliance's army was pressing in, and a year would pass in the blink of an eye. He needed to coordinate the response to three Late Stage Immortal Lord enemies.
Instead of obsessing over Changge's strength, it was better to seize every moment to Cultivate and integrate the combat power of the three domains, not failing his Junior Brother's trust.
Only by being strong enough himself could he protect the Azure Profound Sect and the Xuanhuang Great World in this catastrophe.
Thinking this way, the gravity in Xuan Yangzi's eyes deepened, and his aura gradually became more restrained.
He said no more, stood up, and said to Gu Changge, "Junior Brother, I will go now to arrange the preparations for war. Farewell."
Gu Changge nodded slightly. "Go then. Do what you can, and there's no need to be too hasty."
Xuan Yangzi responded, and with a flicker of his body, he turned into a streak of light and hurried away from Zizhu Peak.
His figure vanished into the sky instantly, clearly eager to dive into the war preparations immediately, racing against time.
Xiao Ruobai and the others, hearing the conversation between Xuan Yangzi and Gu Changge, also had solemn expressions. Each found a suitable place and immersed themselves in Cultivation.
At this time, Old Huang shook his head. When his gaze swept over Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, he looked incredibly arrogant, putting on a smug show without concealment.
He walked up to Gu Changge and bowed, but he deliberately raised his voice to ensure Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai could hear him clearly:
"Master, isn't it just a Hundred Immortals Alliance? Do you want me, Old Huang, to take action?"
"That Immortal King whatever, I can crush him with one hoof. I'll guarantee they won't even touch the edge of the Xuanhuang Great World!"
As he spoke, Old Huang also deliberately raised a hoof and glanced at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, the show-off in his eyes almost overflowing.
