221: Chapter 221 Curses!
Just as everyone was arguing incessantly...
Inside the main hall of the Qingyun Sacred Land, the Lords of the two Sacred Lands were discussing matters.
"The people from the Shenfeng Sect haven't arrived yet?" Sect Leader Qingyunzi's brow furrowed slightly.
Hearing this, the Lord of Zixiao could not help but shake his head.
"Not yet! I have already sent people to investigate, but there is no news so far."
Hearing these words...
Sect Leader Qingyunzi's expression became somewhat unsightly.
One must know.
The Shenfeng Sect was the first Sect to state they would come, yet now there was no sign of them.
If they ended up not coming...
The impact on morale would absolutely be massive.
"Let's wait a bit longer! Since the Shenfeng Sect said they would come, they shouldn't break their word; otherwise, how would the people of the world view them?"
"Sigh... I hope so!"
Sect Leader Qingyunzi let out a sigh, his tone somewhat low, and his brows were knit together!
It couldn't be helped.
The reversal of events had happened too quickly; originally, their Qingyun Sacred Land had already reached an agreement with the Fire Phoenix Dynasty.
The two sides would form an Alliance.
First, they would suppress all the Sect forces!
Then...
The Fire Phoenix Dynasty would confer upon their Qingyun Sacred Land the title of 'Imperial Sacred Sect!'
Following that...
They would be able to follow the Fire Phoenix Dynasty to develop that Immortal Secret Realm together. If their luck was good and they obtained the Legacy of an Immortal powerhouse...
Then...
Their Qingyun Sacred Land would become formidable, and their future would be truly bright.
But...
Now look at it. In the blink of an eye, the son is dead, and the Alliance with the Dynasty has collapsed!
In fact, they knew in their hearts.
The death of the Saint Son of Qingyun was definitely not done by the Fire Phoenix Dynasty, because his death brought no benefit to them!
But so what if they knew?
The Power of Imperial Fortune was present at the scene. Even if they clearly knew someone was framing them, what could they do?
Was there evidence?
Without evidence, it could only have been done by the Fire Phoenix Dynasty!
His own son, the dignified Saint of a Sacred Land, had died just like that. Someone had to bear the consequences.
Otherwise, how would the world view them?
To be honest.
Coming to this point was not what their Qingyun Sacred Land desired...
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye...
The next day arrived.
At this moment.
The One-month deadline mentioned by the Qingyun Sacred Land and the Zixiao Sacred Land had arrived.
However—
The people from the Shenfeng Sect...
Had still not appeared to this day.
This gave everyone a feeling of being played.
You damn people were the first to high-profilely state you'd come to the appointment, tricking us all here, and in the end, you yourselves didn't show up?
What the hell is this?
Is this how things are done?
"What kind of trick is the Shenfeng Sect playing? Didn't they agree to come to the appointment?"
"Exactly! We've all arrived, but they don't even have a single person here. Isn't this just playing us?"
"To think I thought the Shenfeng Sect had some backbone. Turns out they're just cowards!"
"Damn it, screw the people of the Shenfeng Sect, you guys tricked me!"
"Forget it, forget it. They are a first-rate power after all. How can we small households compare to them?"
"First-rate power? First-rate my ass! Just a bunch of cowards who fear death..."
"Right! In the future, whenever we see someone from the Shenfeng Sect, we'll just kill them!"
"Well said, kill every one we see!"
For a moment...
The crowd at the scene was filled with righteous indignation, and curses filled the air.
The originally high morale had also taken quite a hit because of the Shenfeng Sect's absence.
Many people began to doubt.
Could this Alliance really succeed?
Even a first-rate power like the Shenfeng Sect had flinched at the last moment. Should their small Sects also consider a way out?
Sect Leader Qingyunzi stood at the entrance of the main hall.
Looking at those Sect representatives discussing fervently down the mountain, his face was ashen.
"This Shenfeng Sect... what exactly do they mean by this?"
"Are they playing us?"
The Lord of Zixiao stood to the side, his brow also tightly locked.
"I have already sent people to the Shenfeng Sect to investigate. There should be news soon."
"Investigate? Investigate my ass! If they wanted to come, they would have come long ago. Would they wait until now?"
"I see it as them intentionally playing us!!!"
The Lord of Zixiao opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something.
In the end, he said nothing.
How could he not be thinking the same thing?
It was just that...
He didn't want to admit it.
After all, the Shenfeng Sect was the first Sect to state they would come. If even they were afraid, what would the other Sects think?
This Alliance...
Could it still continue?
Just as everyone was cursing the Shenfeng Sect—
Suddenly!
"BOOM—!!!"
A loud explosion echoed from the Void Realm!
That sound...
Was like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, shaking the entire world!
Everyone...
All looked up at the same time, staring into the Void Realm!
They saw—
In the Void Realm, a Spatial rift tens of thousands of meters long suddenly tore open!
That rift...
Was like the bloody maw of an ancient giant beast, deep and terrifying!
Within the rift, endless Void turbulence could be seen churning!
Following that—
An incredibly massive giant flying ship slowly sailed out from the Spatial rift!
That flying ship...
Was so huge it was comparable to an ancient divine mountain, blotting out the sun!
The ship was entirely crafted from a dark red metal, covered in complex runes, emitting an ancient and terrifying Aura!
At that moment—
A terrifying Aura descended with a bang!
Countless Cultivators with low strength saw their faces turn pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed on the spot!
"This... this is..."
"It's the Fire Phoenix Dynasty! It's the flying ship of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty!"
"How is it possible? How did they come so quickly?!"
"Such a terrifying Aura... this... can we really block this? My legs have gone soft..."
"I... I seem to have gone soft too..."
"I'm talking about my legs, what the hell are you talking about??"
At this moment.
Under this terrifying Aura.
Millions of Cultivators were all like a frightened flock of sheep, falling into a state of chaos.
Even the Lords of Qingyun and Zixiao...
Their expressions became extremely ugly.
They also didn't expect the people from the Fire Phoenix Dynasty to arrive so quickly!
And—
They arrived with such a formation!
"What is there to panic about!"
Just then, an aged and majestic voice transmitted from the depths of the Qingyun Sacred Land!
That voice...
Contained terrifying power of Law, instantly enveloping the entire world!
Countless Cultivators...
Only felt the fear in their hearts swept away, and their legs were no longer weak!
It was Ancestor Qingyun!
He had taken action!
Following that, another voice also rang out.
"A mere flying ship has scared you like this?"
"How unseemly!"
In an instant.
Two Auras of the Peak Domain Realm soared into the sky, contending against the Aura emitted by that flying ship!
And at this moment.
That giant flying ship had already come to a steady halt above the Qingyun Sacred Land.
On the ship's deck stood a group of people.
The leader...
Was a woman.
She wore a dark red phoenix robe and a Nine Phoenix Crown. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her temperament was noble.
From her body...
No Aura was emitted.
But everyone who saw her felt as if their hearts were gripped by an invisible giant hand!
She was none other than the Empress of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty—
Feng Jiutian!
Behind her stood three elders with terrifying Auras, precisely the three Peak Domain Realm experts of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty!
Further back...
Were over a dozen Domain Realm powerhouses!
That lineup, that momentum, was simply terrifying to the extreme!
Feng Jiutian stood on the deck, looking down from a high vantage point at the millions of Cultivators below.
In her eyes, a trace of disdain was revealed.
"Just these?"
Her voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"A bunch of rabble..."
