121: Chapter 119: The Nine Realms Alliance's Plot, Jun Mengqing's Olive

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Nine Realms Alliance's Scheme, Jun Mengqing's Olive Branch

Even Emperor Yang, who remained calm when facing the combined forces of Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace and Cang Hall, and the large-scale invasion of Tianmo Domain, changed his expression drastically and was filled with dread upon hearing about the Nine Realms Alliance.

"Saintess Jun, are you certain the Nine Realms Alliance is behind this?"

Emperor Yang, unwilling to give up, asked again.

Jun Mengqing nodded and softly said, "Yes, this is what the Jietian Sect discovered not long ago. For this, the Holy Sect even lost three Nascent Divinity Celestial Beings."

The intelligence obtained at the cost of three Nascent Divinity Celestial Beings! The Nine Realms Alliance must have put in a lot of effort to hide their true identity!

Emperor Yang couldn't help but pace back and forth, his expression constantly changing. The appearance of the Nine Realms Alliance made him feel an unprecedented crisis, even greater than the threat posed by Chi Hao and his son.

"Nine Realms Alliance, what kind of Sect is this?"

Gu Shengge asked Jun Mengqing. Although he was well-read, the Azure Expanse was too vast for a few hundred books to record everything. This was the first time he had heard of the Nine Realms Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengqing smiled slightly at Gu Shengge, radiating charm and captivating his soul. If Gu Shengge hadn't been strong enough, he might have succumbed to the Jietian Saintess's enchanting smile.

She said with a captivating smile, "Benefactor, this Nine Realms Alliance is a first-rate force in the Zhongtian Region, backed by many worlds. It occupies a significant territory in the Zhongtian Region, no less than the Jietian Sect..."

Listening to Jun Mengqing's explanation, Gu Shengge couldn't help but frown.

The so-called Nine Realms Alliance, as its name suggests, is an organization formed by the Alliance of multiple worlds. These worlds are mostly Middle Thousand Worlds, attached to the Vast Expanse Great World, and can be considered an Ascension Alliance.

Within the Alliance, there are not only Void Refining Reverents, but also several Dao Harmonization Grand Cultivators.

Why would such a major force target the Qiankun Taoist Sect?

Gu Shengge was utterly puzzled. The Qiankun Taoist Sect was far away in Qiongsang, so how could it be involved with the Nine Realms Alliance?

Could it be because of him? That didn't seem right either; he had never left Qiongsang.

Seeing Gu Shengge lost in thought, Jun Mengqing, with her jade feet adorned with golden bells, lightly moved. Her graceful figure, like a flying flower, drifted to his side and gently pressed against Gu Shengge.

"Benefactor, what are you thinking about? Why not tell this humble one? Perhaps I can help you resolve your confusion~"

The Jietian Saintess leaned close to Gu Shengge's ear, her breath like orchids, and enchanting sounds filled his ears.

The two Fox Clan Celestial Beings from Qingqiu were surprised to see their Young Emperor so attentive to Gu Shengge.

They were not as ignorant as Lin Fan, that old man in the ring. Having lived for thousands of years, they had seen all kinds of Prodigies and exceptional individuals.

A Nascent Soul at eighteen, though rare in Qiongsang, might not be so in other spiritual domains.

Not to mention the Zhongtian Region, even in the good domains like Xuan Cang, Dao Ze, and Luofu, there were quite a few.

A mere Daozi of the Qiankun Taoist Sect, though exceptionally talented and possessing double pupils, was ultimately just a Genius from a lesser domain. He didn't have any special Physique, couldn't be considered a Prodigy, and certainly couldn't compare to the Prodigies and extraordinary talents of the Zhongtian Region. Why was the Young Emperor so fond of him?

Gu Shengge turned his head, his double pupils reflecting Jun Mengqing's dreamlike, exquisitely beautiful face, captivating and enchanting, instantly stirring the deepest and most beautiful memories in one's heart, causing his mind to fall into a momentary trance.

Fortunately, Gu Shengge immediately recovered and said gently, "Saintess Jun, I am wondering why the Nine Realms Alliance would target the Qiankun Taoist Sect. Does Saintess Jun have any conjectures?"

Jun Mengqing's eyes flashed with surprise to see Gu Shengge shake off her charm so quickly.

After she parted ways with Gu Shengge last time, she had diligently cultivated the Heavenly Fox Charm Art. She hadn't expected Gu Shengge to recover from the trance in just an instant.

At this, Jun Mengqing couldn't help but exclaim, his willpower is truly terrifying!

Jun Mengqing smiled charmingly and said sweetly, "I do know a little, but I'm not entirely sure."

Gu Shengge: "Saintess Jun, please speak directly."

Emperor Yang also stopped pacing and looked at Jun Mengqing.

Seeing the Young Emperor about to get involved in the matter between the Nine Realms Alliance and the Qiankun Taoist Sect, the Qingqiu Celestial Being quickly spoke up to dissuade her.

"Young Emperor, please reconsider!"

Jun Mengqing, being stopped, frowned slightly, clearly displeased.

Seeing the Young Emperor's displeasure, the expressions of the two Qingqiu Celestial Beings froze, and they dared not say more.

Only then did Jun Mengqing's brows relax, and she informed Gu Shengge of some secrets she had investigated.

"The Nine Realms Alliance is actually not only targeting the Qiankun Taoist Sect. Mist Mountain, Heavenly Demon Divine Palace, Da Yu Dynasty, and Lingxiao Sword Sect are also involved."

"Hmm? These Sects are...!" Gu Shengge's heart stirred, and he vaguely had a guess.

The only thing that could link these Sects together was the Dao Ancient Trial!

Jun Mengqing saw that Gu Shengge had guessed something and nodded, confirming his conjecture.

"As Benefactor thought, the reason the Nine Realms Alliance is secretly targeting you all is because of the Legacy of the Forgotten River Holy Courtyard."

"More or less..." Gu Shengge murmured.

The Dao Ancient Trial was related to the Forgotten River Holy Courtyard, but what was the relationship between the Nine Realms Alliance and the Forgotten River Holy Courtyard? Was it an enemy of the Dao or something else?

"Senior Mu, the Nine Realms Alliance is powerful. Although there are regional rules that prevent Dao Harmonization Grand Cultivators from acting freely without the permission of the Domain Lord, it is still not something the Qiankun Taoist Sect can contend with. Does Senior have a way to deal with it?" Emperor Yang asked.

Emperor Yang's eyes narrowed. So, she came for this after all.

Mu Qianyang didn't believe that the Jietian Saintess would come to the Qiankun Taoist Sect for no reason to tell them these things; she must have an ulterior motive.

Immediately, Emperor Yang continued the conversation, following Jun Mengqing's words.

"Listening to Saintess Jun, could it be that Saintess is willing to lend a hand to our Dao Sect?"

"Although the Nine Realms Alliance is powerful, compared to our Qingqiu, it's not worth mentioning. If Senior doesn't mind, Qingqiu is willing to assist the Dao Sect in expelling the demonic plague and resisting the Nine Realms Alliance. However, this humble one has one small request, but I wonder if Daozi Gu is willing to agree?"

Here it comes! Emperor Yang and Gu Shengge exchanged glances. Gu Shengge said calmly,

"Saintess Jun, please speak. If it's not too excessive, I can agree."

Jun Mengqing's actions were clearly meant to pressure Gu Shengge with the Nine Realms Alliance and the demonic plague. Gu Shengge could completely refuse.

But he had to consider the Dao Sect's Disciples. For every day the demonic plague continued, dozens, even hundreds, of Dao Sect Disciples would sacrifice their lives.

Therefore, as long as Jun Mengqing's request wasn't excessive, Gu Shengge could agree to her.

"Benefactor worries too much. This humble one's request is not excessive at all. I just need to have a private, one-on-one talk with Benefactor. I wonder if Benefactor is willing to take a walk with this humble one?"

Seeing Gu Shengge agree, Jun Mengqing's smile became even more enchanting, and she extended an invitation to him.
