Chapter 171: The Alliance of Sects, Revered by Heaven and Earth

Emperor Yang, Mu Qianyang, felt a surge of satisfaction seeing their humble fear. These people had just questioned the Qiankun Dao Sect, not because they thought the Qiankun Dao Sect’s Foundation was shallow, but because even with two existences capable of rivaling Void Refining Realm mighty figures, it would still be looked down upon and tested.

Now, it was good, a test! They tested themselves to death!

“Everyone, does anyone still doubt the strength of my Qiankun Dao Sect?”

The various Sects dared not utter a single word now, only looking at Tantai Qingxuan with apprehension.

A Void Refining Realm Venerable, she killed as she pleased. Such powerful cultivation was enough to suppress the Qiongsang Domain.

And the Qiankun Dao Sect had two such existences! With this configuration, even if their Foundation couldn't keep up, they could still dominate Qiongsang.

Emperor Yang sat down again, while the high-ranking officials of the various Sects stood in place. This was a matter of attitude, and also the Qiankun Dao Sect’s declaration of its status.

The Goddess Xiyao of the Butian Pavilion, who was feeling down because she couldn’t ascend Qingxuan Peak and was overshadowed by Jun Mengqing, brightened up at this moment and was the first to state: “The joint defense against the Corpse Demon plague in Qiongsang is a righteous act. The Butian Pavilion will naturally contribute to this. This time, the Butian Pavilion is willing to cooperate with the Qiankun Dao Sect and with Peak Master Qingxuan, Fairy Tantai, to form an Alliance!”

Her speech opened the floodgates, and the remaining Sect forces no longer held back, all expressing their willingness to form an Alliance with the Qiankun Dao Sect.

Of course, many details would still need to be negotiated later, as it involved deep interest ties between the major Sects, which was not so simple.

However, these matters had little to do with Tantai Qingxuan. She rarely interfered with Sect affairs. After completing the task Gu Shengge gave her, she quietly departed, disappearing into the wind and snow.

After she left, the wind and snow also receded, and the invisible pressure on everyone gradually dissipated.

Everyone felt as if a shackles had been removed, letting out a long sigh of relief, finally relaxing.

On Qingxuan Peak, Tantai Qingxuan quickly stepped through the snow, yet not a single footprint was left on the thin layer of snow.

Jun Mengqing was just about to approach Gu Shengge to tease him, but she never expected Tantai Qingxuan to return so quickly.

She even suspected that although Tantai Qingxuan had gone, her Divine Thought had always been watching here, otherwise how could she have caught up so quickly.

She silently retreated, a faint smile on her face: “Fairy Tantai’s decisive and sharp action is truly admirable.”

Gu Shengge heard that this girl wanted to provoke Tantai Qingxuan and quickly stopped her: “Alright, you’ve reminisced enough. Why don’t you tell me the purpose of your visit!”

Jun Mengqing was very displeased that Gu Shengge had stopped her. They had met first, but because of a period of absence, Tantai Qingxuan had stolen a march. Now, whatever Gu Shengge did, he always sided with Tantai Qingxuan, which was truly irritating.

She said testily: “Actually, it’s nothing much. Daoist Gu, I’m sure you remember what we discussed before. It’s time to head to the Central Heaven Domain, isn’t it?”

Gu Shengge nodded: “Of course I remember. I will never go back on my word.”

Tantai Qingxuan’s expression beside him turned slightly cold, and her gaze towards Jun Mengqing became unfriendly. She felt that this woman was trying to trick Gu Shengge away from her to achieve her ulterior motives.

Jun Mengqing smiled sweetly: “Fairy Tantai, don’t always be so wary of me. I promise that everything I do for Benefactor is for his good, and I will never harm him.”

Gu Shengge propped his head with one hand, watching her with interest.

After all, what Jun Mengqing said made sense. In the Qiongsang Domain and nearby areas, there were no more Transmigrators or Systems, so it was indeed impossible to significantly increase his combat power.

Tantai Qingxuan was quite puzzled, and stood behind Gu Shengge, placing one hand on his shoulder.

Gu Shengge grabbed her smooth, delicate hand, and with a gentle pull, drew her in front of him, making her sit on his lap, which somewhat broke Jun Mengqing’s composure.

“You… what are you doing! In broad daylight, and in front of me!”

Gu Shengge waved his hand: “Then please go back! We’re not saying we’re going right now. Let’s wait until the matters between the Qiankun Dao Sect and those Sects are settled.”

Jun Mengqing’s expression flickered. No wonder he agreed so readily just now. So he was thinking of having her quickly facilitate the negotiations between the Qiankun Dao Sect and those Sects!

Jun Mengqing gritted her silver teeth: “Benefactor, you really are cunning! Too sly!”

Gu Shengge asked in confusion: “Huh? What matter? What cunning?”

Jun Mengqing knew he wouldn’t admit it, and snorted: “Stop pretending. I will expedite this matter. Anyway, Fairy Tantai has already done most of the work, so it shouldn’t take much effort!”

She rose indignantly and disappeared into the snowy curtain.

In the Great Yu Dynasty, Hongyu Province, the Realm Master arrived with two high-ranking officials of the Nine Realms Alliance. What met their eyes was a land of death; the entire province exuded a dense Death Qi, making one feel nauseous just by smelling it.

Behind the Realm Master’s head, a white halo emitted a faint glow, isolating all the filth and unpleasant odors outside.

The other two high-ranking officials of the Nine Realms Alliance also quickly activated their cultivation to isolate the Qi of this place; it was truly too foul-smelling.

After landing, the Realm Master used Shrinking Ground into Inches, swiftly moving with them. Corpses constantly flashed past their eyes, along with some controlled Corpse Demons, wandering aimlessly.

However, under the Realm Master’s leadership, those existences seemed not to notice them at all.

They accelerated according to the perception of the jade token, and after several hours of travel, finally arrived at a huge altar.

Around them, there were densely packed piles of corpses, their blood flowing along the altar’s Texture, extending towards the center.

And at the center were the ancestors of the Nine Realms Alliance, those Corpse Demons, sitting there, continuously absorbing the surging vitality and blood.

Their appearance had changed greatly from before. Previously, they were like skin-and-bones mummies, ugly, filthy, and always emitting an indescribable stench.

Now, however, they had gained some semblance of humanity, their skin becoming fuller. Although they still looked like shriveled old men, they had acquired much more flesh and blood.

However, the Corpse Demon patterns imposed on them could not be dispersed. After so many years of refinement, the Corpse Demon patterns had long since integrated with their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls.

At the very front, the formerly hunched old man was slowly straightening his back, his entire being exuding vibrant vitality, as if he was about to be reborn, causing even the Realm Master to momentarily lose himself in thought.

The leading Corpse Demon also seemed to notice them at this moment, opening his cloudy eyes, with light blue pupils flickering within.
