Immortal Alliance Gathering

The Celestial Race, possessing two Immortal Lords, was unquestionably the strongest force in the entire Immortal Alliance.

This was something everyone had to admit.

Even if Overlord Immortal Lord was hailed as the strongest in the Immortal Alliance, he wouldn't dare claim to defeat two Immortal Lords by himself.

The Celestial Race also had the most True Immortal powerhouses among all races.

This race, created by the Human Race and also the youngest among all races, had now become a behemoth dominating the entire Immortal Alliance.

Lin Li's gaze swept over the two Celestial Immortal Lords, and he said indifferently, "Seeing how unhurried you two are, it must not be a major issue."

The tall, armored Celestial Yuan Immortal Lord glanced at Lin Li and said in a deep voice, "You'll know once all the Immortal Lords and Heaven Protectors are present."

Soon, another figure slowly walked into the Immortal Palace's main hall.

It was Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord.

Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's gaze swept over the Immortal Lords: "Why have you gathered us?"

Celestial Yuan Immortal Lord said in a deep voice, "Wait a little longer, Overlord Immortal Lord should be arriving soon."

Indeed, no sooner had he spoken than a massive figure, fully a zhang tall, appeared in the center of the main entrance.

His long ice-blue hair cascaded behind him, and he wore a large green cloak, open at the chest to reveal a muscular torso. Though a zhang tall, he was tall and slender, showing no signs of bulk.

He appeared to be a human in his thirties, his face not handsome but with deep-set features, as if carved by a knife and chisel, exuding an aura of steadfastness, and his indifferent eyes held an overbearing dominance that seemed to look down upon the world.

Most striking were the pair of upright purple-gold Dragon horns growing from his forehead amidst his hair.

Needless to say, this was the leader of the Dragon Clan, and also the strongest in the Immortal Alliance, Overlord Immortal Lord.

"If there's something to say, say it quickly."

Overlord Immortal Lord strode directly to the most central and largest of the seven thrones in the hall and sat down, his tone flat but with an undeniable absolute authority.

"There's a new birth in the Purple-Gold lineage today; this King is in a hurry."

Overlord Immortal Lord was immensely powerful and showed no courtesy to outsiders, but he was also famously protective, valuing the True Dragon Bloodline greatly. Whenever a pure-blooded True Dragon was born in his clan, he would always be present.

There was even an incident where a True Immortal clashed with a True Dragon who was merely at the Pseudo-immortal Realm, and Overlord Immortal Lord directly shattered the True Immortal's Immortal Palace, severely injuring him.

This was why, even among Divine Beasts, the Dragon Clan was particularly arrogant; after all, they had a Dragon King boss who was protective and unbeatable by anyone, so even the Celestial Race dared not be too disrespectful to the Dragon Clan.

An Immortal General quickly walked into the hall, cupping his fists and saying, "All Heaven Protectors, except those who must remain at their posts, have arrived and are waiting outside the hall."

Vermillion Bird Immortal Lord nodded, "Since everyone is here, let's begin."

Everyone tacitly ignored the fact that only six Immortal Lords were present.

The last one, Baize Immortal Lord, was never seen at such occasions.

Unless it involved a truly significant matter concerning the Immortal Alliance or even the Nine Heavens, the other six Immortal Lords couldn't even contact Baize Immortal Lord on normal days.

The Heaven Protectors then filed in one after another; they naturally couldn't arrive later than the Immortal Lords and had already gathered outside.

This, of course, included Yu Weichen.

He was also puzzled and somewhat worried.

No sooner had he brought Zhong Qing into the Immortal Alliance than the Immortal Lords summoned a meeting.

Had the matter been exposed?

The appearance of an Immortal Seed was indeed a major event, enough to warrant the gathering of all Immortal Lords.

After all, looking at the entire Immortal Alliance today, the number of Immortal Seeds was even smaller than the number of Immortal Lords.

Once exposed, Zhong Qing would immediately be placed in the spotlight.

Fortunately, after the Heaven Protectors paid their respects, Celestial Yuan Immortal Lord immediately spoke.

"The reason for gathering you all is because something happened yesterday."

"The Heaven Protector guarding the Immortal Gate, Wei Yitian, has died."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions subtly changed.

A murmur of whispers immediately arose in the hall.

There were only thirty-six Heaven Protectors in the Immortal Alliance in total, each of them of extremely high seniority and status. The death of a Heaven Protector was indeed a major event.

However, Yu Weichen, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

What? So it wasn't Zhong Qing's Immortal Seed identity that was exposed.

But the next moment, the expression on his face froze.

Something's wrong, who died?

Wei Yitian?

If any other Heaven Protector had died, Yu Weichen would be surprised, but not overly shocked.

But if it was Wei Yitian who died, that was different.

Wei Yitian had just clashed with them yesterday and was injured, and now he's dead today?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Although Wei Yitian was indeed injured, it was by Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord, and how could an Immortal Lord strike with such a lack of discernment?

In an instant, Yu Weichen thought of a possibility.

Could it be…

Yu Weichen's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head.

How could this be? Not to mention whether Zhong Qing had such courage, he had only recently become a True Immortal. Even if he was an Immortal Seed and his strength was comparable to an old True Immortal, there was no reason he could kill Wei Yitian.

Don't look at Wei Yitian not daring to raise his head in front of Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord, but he was still one of the thirty-six Heaven Protectors.

Perhaps many people in the Immortal Alliance could defeat him, but those who could kill him were few.

Zhong Qing would definitely not be among them.

Could it be that Wei Yitian had an enemy who attacked him while he was injured?

Just as Yu Weichen was lost in thought.

It was Overlord Immortal Lord who spoke.

He snorted coldly, "You called everyone here for this little bit of nonsense?"

Although these words were a bit unreasonable, it was indeed Overlord Immortal Lord's style.

If it were his Dragon Clan, if even a single True Immortal Rank True Dragon died, he would surely turn the entire Immortal Alliance upside down.

But for other races, especially the newly risen Celestial Race, who had taken the Dragon Clan's position as the strongest race, Overlord Immortal Lord wouldn't even bat an eye.

"This Nine Heavens is not a safe haven either."

Lin Li also said indifferently, "Since the Immortal Alliance was established, who knows how many True Immortals have died. The Nine Heavens is even more fraught with danger, and even Heaven Protectors can fall."

"Since Wei Yitian is dead, whoever killed him, we'll kill them back."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss and call everyone over."

The Immortal Alliance was never a single entity. Wei Yitian's death was a weakening of the Celestial Race, and secretly, others might even be secretly rejoicing.

Celestial Yuan Immortal Lord was not annoyed either.

He said in a deep voice, "That's true, but the problem is that Wei Yitian, as the Heaven Protector guarding the Immortal Gate, was inexplicably killed within the Immortal Alliance, in his own Immortal Palace."

"And the person who attacked him was extraordinarily powerful."

"From my personal investigation, Wei Yitian was killed by a single blow, and even his Immortal Artifact, the Broken God Halberd, was shattered into pieces."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present became a few shades more solemn.

Killing Wei Yitian alone was one thing, but being able to shatter Wei Yitian along with his Immortal Artifact in one blow—that level of strength was extraordinary.

In the entire Immortal Alliance, below the Yuan Lord Rank powerhouses, there were very few who could achieve this.

More importantly, Wei Yitian was killed within the Immortal Alliance.

This implication was truly out of the ordinary.
