Exposure
The faces of all the Heaven Protectors also grew solemn.
To directly break into someone's Immortal Palace within the Immortal Alliance and kill them was truly audacious.
And being able to kill Wei Yitian meant they could kill them too.
For a moment, though not everyone felt personally threatened, they all realized the danger.
But the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord still seemed unfazed, merely saying impatiently, "So what?"
"Your Celestial Race, especially that Wei Yitian, was inherently arrogant and overbearing. It's only natural that he might offend some Yuan Lord one day and get killed."
"If he provoked me, I would do the same."
"No matter who it is, if they dare to harm someone from my Dragon Race, I will dig three feet deep to drag them out and tear them to pieces."
"Instead of catching the murderer yourselves, you call us here? Do you want us to help your Celestial Race catch the murderer?"
The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's words were utterly merciless and direct.
However, this was indeed the thought in some people's minds.
The Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord's expression also turned somewhat ugly.
Despite knowing that the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's personality was always direct and fiery, he hadn't expected that as fellow Immortal Lords, the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord would be so disrespectful.
The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord, on the other hand, wasn't annoyed. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "Overturning Sea Immortal Lord, your words are mistaken."
"Wei Yitian is indeed from my Celestial Race, but he is also a Heaven Protector of the Immortal Alliance, an immortal general guarding the Immortal Gate."
"In that regard, he also represents the face of my Immortal Alliance."
"If he were killed in a battle outside, that would be one thing, but for the rogue to be so bold as to kill someone within the Immortal Alliance is also a provocation to the authority of my Immortal Alliance."
"Even if the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord dislikes my Celestial Race, we are all in the Immortal Alliance, on the same front. And Heaven Protectors are the backbone of the Immortal Alliance. If the Immortal Alliance doesn't even care about the lives and deaths of its Heaven Protectors, what authority will the Immortal Alliance have in the future?"
He said with a half-smile, "If the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord cares so little about the Immortal Alliance's face, why not lead the Dragon Race to withdraw from the Immortal Alliance directly?"
The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's face darkened. He stared at the Wandering Mind Immortal Lord and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
As he spoke, his dragon pupils slightly contracted, emitting a dangerous aura. All the Heaven Protectors present felt an invisible, terrifying pressure spread, and their expressions changed.
But the Wandering Mind Immortal Lord showed no fear, merely smiling and saying, "What, was what I said not clear enough?"
"If the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord doesn't care about the Immortal Alliance's affairs, he can lead the Dragon Race to withdraw from the Immortal Alliance."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall solidified.
The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's mouth curved into a somewhat ferocious arc: "Immortal Alliance this, Immortal Alliance that. It seems some people truly regard the Immortal Alliance as their own."
As he spoke, the oppressive aura he released grew heavier and heavier.
It even made the Heaven Protectors in the hall feel somewhat unable to breathe.
And the Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord also snorted lightly, releasing his aura to contend with the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord.
Under the combined strength of the Wandering Mind and Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lords, the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's oppressive aura was pushed back, but the collision of the three Immortal Lord powerhouses' auras caused even the sturdy Central Immortal Palace to begin to subtly tremble under this terrifying might.
Facing this scene, some people were worried, some sneered, and some were gloating.
The latter group was mostly Human Race.
Among the various races in the Immortal Alliance, the Human Race had the worst relationship with the Celestial Race.
Seeing the Celestial Race and the Dragon Race clash, they naturally rejoiced.
Yu Weichen was the one gloating.
Although he initially worried that it might involve Zhong Qing, he quickly dismissed it as unlikely.
For Zhong Qing to kill Wei Yitian was already incredible, let alone killing him in a single blow; that was simply a fantasy.
It was most likely some other person, perhaps an enemy of Wei Yitian, or someone targeting the Celestial Race, who took advantage of Wei Yitian's injury to act.
"Let them fight, the more fiercely the better."
Yu Weichen's lips curved upwards: "That way, no one will pay attention to Little Friend Zhong."
At this moment, a fourth person finally spoke.
"This is the Central Immortal Palace. If you wish to fight, do so outside."
The one who spoke was the Vermillion Bird Immortal Lord.
As the Immortal Lord who had been stationed in the Central Immortal Palace for the past hundred thousand years, she was essentially the Immortal Alliance's acting head during this period.
A surge of immortal might soared into the sky, interposing itself between the two sides and separating their auras.
The Vermillion Bird Immortal Lord said indifferently, "The killing of an Immortal Alliance Heaven Protector must naturally be taken seriously."
"Finding the murderer is imperative."
"If the Celestial Race needs help, the various races will naturally not hesitate to provide it."
"But there's no need for such a large-scale mobilization, causing all you Immortal Lords such trouble. If there are no other important matters, let's disperse."
Seeing the Vermillion Bird Immortal Lord intervene, the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord also snorted coldly, withdrew his aura, stood up, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord, who had also withdrawn his aura, suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord stopped, looked at the Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord, and his dragon eyes flickered slightly: "What? Do you truly want to fight me?"
The Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord glanced at the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord: "It's not out of the question, but not now."
"Today's gathering isn't just about Wei Yitian."
"Oh?" The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord bared his somewhat sharp teeth: "Do you have some other trivial matter? Just say it all at once."
The Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
"Is that so? A trivial matter?"
His gaze swept over everyone present, and he slowly began.
"After several million years, the Human Race... no, my Immortal Alliance has produced another Immortal Seed. Is that a trivial matter?"
The moment his words fell, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
Yu Weichen's smile instantly froze on his face.
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's beautiful face also immediately turned cold.
Even a trace of surprise flashed in the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord's eyes.
"Immortal Seed?"
The first to speak, however, was the Vermillion Bird Immortal Lord.
"You said an Immortal Seed has appeared?"
The Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord smiled calmly: "Indeed, and, it's Human Race."
At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on one person's face.
It was precisely Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord.
The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord followed, smiling: "Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord, the appearance of an Immortal Seed is a momentous event for my Immortal Alliance. Such good news, why keep it hidden?"
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's pretty face was already covered in frost.
But she did not retort.
She knew that refuting now would be meaningless.
Since the Heavenly Yuan Immortal Lord could reveal this matter, it meant he already knew of Zhong Qing's existence. To argue and conceal now would only be a waste of breath.
She merely looked coldly at the two Immortal Lords of the Celestial Race.
"I'd like to know who told you two such good news?"
In fact, she didn't need to ask; she already knew the answer.
Besides her, only a handful of others knew Zhong Qing's identity.
