252: The Holy Alliance Conference has attracted a gathering of Immortal Emperors!
The Sacred Alliance Assembly arrived as scheduled.
This behemoth, which had been entrenched in the Southern Region for ages, far from the center of the Immortal Realm, welcomed a once-in-ten-thousand-years grand event.
Immortals from various powers arrived on all sorts of rare and exotic beasts, descending like streaks of brilliant rainbow light.
On the Holy Mountain of the Hehuan Sacred Sect, dozens of core female disciples and Protector Elders had long been waiting.
Several Elders, usually known for their majesty and coldness, now wore warm smiles, constantly greeting the arriving Immortals from external Sects. Then, several handsome male cultivators from the Sect guided them to their respective seating areas.
Elder Mo finished arranging for another external Sect Master. She looked back at the grand scene of Immortals gathered atop the Holy Mountain and couldn't help but frown: "Why haven't the people from the Demon Sword Sect and the Soul Devouring Carefree Sect arrived yet?"
A trace of worry emerged in her heart.
This Sacred Alliance Assembly seemingly invited all the demon Sects in the world, but in reality, the primary targets were only those two Eternal Powers that had Immortal Emperors presiding over them.
In the face of the catastrophe sweeping the Immortal Realm, only an Immortal Emperor had the ability to change the situation of a region. No matter how many more Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords there were, they were merely the icing on the cake.
As the public faces of the current Hehuan Sacred Sect, Su Quan and Xu Juanmei stood on either side of Elder Mo.
Su Quan looked toward the distant sky and suddenly said, "Elder Mo, the people from the Demon Sword Sect have arrived!"
Elder Mo and Xu Juanmei followed the youth's gaze.
Several streaks of deep, condensed black rainbow light tore through the entire heavens at extreme speed. A vast and domineering Sword Intent swept across the eight directions, finally landing on the summit of the Holy Mountain.
"Sect Leader Murong Sunyao of the Demon Sword Sect pays respects to the Hehuan Sacred Sect!"
The speaker was a tall, middle-aged woman. Her Aura was terrifying, and her entire body emitted a frightening Sword Intent. Space collapsed and rules shattered; she seemed intent on suppressing all things in heaven and earth beneath her feet.
An Immortal Emperor!
Moreover, even among Immortal Emperors, she was a ruthless character capable of standing alone for eternity.
"Mo Ling greets Sect Leader Murong!"
Elder Mo lowered her posture and stepped forward to salute, though she felt somewhat displeased in her heart.
This Sect Leader of the Demon Sword Sect acted too arrogantly and domineeringly, not knowing how to restrain her pressure even on someone else's territory. It seemed she would not be an easy person to deal with.
Meanwhile, Su Quan and Xu Juanmei's gazes were mostly focused on the female Immortals she had brought with her.
Among them, a woman wearing an elegant black gauze phoenix robe was the most eye-catching. On her back, she carried a heavy sword wider and thicker than her delicate body. Her pretty face was cold, and the might of an Immortal Lord overflowed.
If their guess was correct...
This woman was the current demoness of the Demon Sword Sect, Ying Jiaojiao. Her talent was world-shaking, and she was a peak existence who could rank among the top 1000 of the younger generation in the vast Immortal Realm.
Just then, several more streaks of gray rainbow light appeared at the end of the sky.
The people from the Soul Devouring Carefree Sect had also arrived!
A beautiful woman wearing a white crown and holding a mysterious folding fan stepped onto the summit, walking toward everyone with a smile.
"Oh, Sect Leader Murong, you've already arrived. I'm truly sorry, Elder Mo, we of the Soul Devouring Carefree Sect are late. If there is any discourtesy, please be magnanimous!"
Elder Mo forced a difficult smile and made a gesture of invitation: "It is the honor of my Holy Sect that you two Immortal Emperors could grace us with your presence at this sacred assembly. We are more than grateful, so how could we blame you? Please, take your seats!"
Compared to Murong Sunyao, a woman who wore her domineering nature on her face, Mo Ling was more wary of the smiling Sect Master Lei before her.
Being born in a demon Sect, how could there truly be anyone kind-hearted?
The toxicity and ruthlessness of this Immortal Emperor Sect Master of the Soul Devouring Carefree Sect were famous throughout the Immortal Realm; few other Immortal Emperors dared to be friendly with her.
Murong Sunyao glanced at Lei Wanfeng, snorted, and stopped entangling with these people. She led the Demon Sword Sect crowd to their seats under the guidance of a tall, exceptionally beautiful male Immortal.
Seeing this, Lei Wanfeng smiled nonchalantly and also led the Soul Devouring Carefree Sect group forward, sitting opposite the Demon Sword Sect Immortals.
Elder Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Sect Master's figure suddenly appeared on the main seat.
Instantly, the gazes of the Immortals from all the major powers in the field converged on her.
"I, this Emperor, Sect Master, am the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sacred Sect. I welcome you all for gracing us with your presence and joining us at the Hehuan Holy Mountain for this Sacred Alliance Assembly!"
The woman's tone carried a smile like a spring breeze, but her Aura that suppressed the heavens was as surging and vast as wind and thunder, enveloping the entire Holy Mountain.
Every Immortal present felt their breathing become labored, their faces showing shock.
Even the two Immortal Emperors, Murong Sunyao and Lei Wanfeng, saw their expressions turn from playful to solemn. They instinctively restrained their Auras and sat up straight.
With the Realm of an Immortal Emperor, they could sense each other's strength with just one look.
Clearly, Sect Master's strength was greater than both of theirs. She was likely not far from the position of Emperor Sovereign. This was also the source of her confidence in hosting the Sacred Alliance Assembly.
Seeing the subtle change in the atmosphere, Sect Master nodded inwardly.
In the Immortal Realm where the strong prey on the weak, blindly showing kindness only makes others think you are weak and easily bullied. Might makes right, and dignity only exists on the edge of a sword.
"Serve the Immortal Fruit Nectar and the fine wines and delicacies!"
The celestial music of the Great Dao slowly began to play.
A group of young male cultivators in alluring attire and graceful figures stepped slowly into the field. Accompanied by the music, they danced gracefully under the burning gazes of many female Immortals.
Plates of rare Immortal Beast meat, which were hard to find on ordinary days, and nectar wafting with a rich aroma of wine were placed on the tables. There were also Peaches of Immortality that could grant a Mortal eternal life with just one bite, and Great Dao Precious Medicines.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Niu has such a grand style, even bringing out the Peaches of Immortality that only bear fruit once every hundred thousand years. I imagine the legendary Jade Pool Gathering of the Heavenly Court is nothing more than this?" an Immortal King Sect Master of a small power said with a flattering smile.
"The Hehuan Sacred Sect is indeed the number one Sect in our Southern Region. This foundation is truly terrifying. In my view, this Sacred Alliance Assembly is sure to succeed!" another Immortal King Sect Master echoed.
"As long as our sixteen powers can unite under the leadership of the Holy Sect, that will absolutely be a terrifying force that can make the Immortal Realm tremble with a single stomp. Even if the Heavenly Court wants to extend its blade toward us, they will have to think twice!"
"..."
The catastrophe sweeping the Immortal Realm was approaching. These relatively weak Immortal King powers had no qualification to resist at all. They most hoped to form an alliance with the Eternal Powers, and this Sacred Alliance Assembly happened to give them the opportunity.
So, naturally, they began to flatter without reserve.
But the two Eternal Powers were much calmer.
Murong Sunyao picked up a Peach of Immortality and examined it carefully, a deeply hidden mocking smile appearing in her eyes.
"Mere Peaches of Immortality are worth showing off?"
"If that's the case, why wouldn't I attend the Heavenly Court's gathering? There are endless Peaches of Immortality there. Why come to your Sacred Alliance to eat these few paltry scraps?"
Weak powers have no choice, but behemoth powers of the Eternal level like theirs have the qualification to decide their own fate to a certain extent. This was why the Hehuan Sacred Sect had designated them from the beginning as the powers to be won over with all their might.
And not far away, Lei Wanfeng was also munching on an Immortal fruit, her eyes flickering with ulterior motives, wondering what she was thinking...
