...
Seeing Zhao Qiongyu sitting submissively, a trace of a smile flickered in Daoist Qing Miao’s eyes.
He looked at the people below and said in a loud voice, "The Ghost God bandits are extrely detestable, forcibly invading our realm, not only slaughtering billions of beings but also desiring to destroy our Taoist lineage. To prevent the extinction of the Taoist lineage and the collapse of celestial pillars, we local cultivators must unite and courageously kill the enemies!
This alliance believes that regardless of whether it’s Taoist Wuji or anyone present here, they would undoubtedly place righteousness first and courageously undertake this important responsibility.
The alliance has long set abundant rewards for this cross-realm rescue mission. If anyone can bring Dragon Shadow back alive, they will obtain one item of Heavenly rit and three Nascent Soul Pills. Even if the person cannot be brought back, as long as intelligence is returned in ti, five Great rit rewards will be given, and everyone can choose an item from the Earth-level Treasure Vault."
Upon hearing this incredibly enticing task reward, many people in the hall were already moved.
Seeing the change in people’s expressions, Daoist Qing Miao couldn’t help but smile and continued, "As the saying goes, a snake without a head cannot move! This task is of utmost importance and must not et with failure. The leader’s cultivation level must be above the Nascent Soul Realm and command respect.
To be prudent, the alliance proposes invoking the ninth clause of the alliance agreent, choosing the most suitable leader through an anonymous vote. What do you all think?"
"The Alliance Hierarch’s thoughts are ticulous and actions fair. Our sect admires it, and Mo is the first to agree."
The Immortal Device Sect is indeed a staunch ally of the Supre Sensing Sect, and Deputy Sect Master Mo Baijue was indeed the first to express his agreent.
The second to agree was naturally the Primordial Demon Sect. Mingyu Demon nodded and said, "I second this motion!"
"Given this, everything should prioritize the big picture! Our Lingyun Academy also agrees with this move." Mr. Jing Chuan spoke with a solemn expression.
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"This should have been the case long ago; our Sky Sun Sect agrees too!"
In an instant, more than two-thirds of the people in the hall, representing their respective sects, agreed with the proposal of the Alliance Hierarch.
Seeing the turn of events, Bi Fang Ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect secretly transmitted to Zhao Qiongyu, gently persuading him to yield to the greater good.
At this mont, Zhao Qiongyu had a blank expression, nodded almost imperceptibly, seemingly submissive.
All this was observed by Daoist Qing Miao, Mingyu Demon, and others.
There was a hint of satisfaction in Daoist Qing Miao’s eyes, a slight sense of fulfillnt, confident in his absolute control over the situation.
The die is cast!
Daoist Qing Miao smiled slightly and earnestly said, "Since everyone agrees with the alliance’s suggestion, let’s start the voting!"
After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and silver jade plates flew out from his sleeve like butterflies, elegantly floating to each person’s jade table.
Monts later, Zhao Qiongyu grabbed a jade plate, smirking disdainfully.
He was about to casually write Mingyu Demon’s na when his expression suddenly brightened, and he sharply turned his gaze towards the outside of the hall.
At the sa ti, others had already sensed the abnormalities, their expressions changing dramatically in shock: "Ah!"
"Sothing’s amiss!"
"Who’s outside?"
At the very top of the hall, Daoist Qing Miao’s expression changed subtly, sensing that the spiritual energy in the hall had beco incredibly unstable, with fire elent spirit qi unprecedentedly active.
At this mont, a massive influx of fire elent spirit qi surged into the hall, pushing out other spiritual energy particles, causing the temperature within the hall to rise sharply.
Hiss, hiss!
Suddenly, the cups of spiritual tea on the jade table emitted a strange hissing sound almost simultaneously, followed by a large amount of white steam.
Boom～
A loud booming sound suddenly ca from the entrance of the hall as the closed hall doors burst open, and a brilliant and dazzling blaze flooded in from outside, engulfing the entire hall in an instant.
A vast and imnse unfamiliar pressure spread along with it!
Seeing this scene, Daoist Qing Miao’s expression beca extrely severe, and a profound sense of threat suddenly arose in his mind.
Mingyu Demon, Bi Fang Ancestor, Tu Wanxin, and Mo Baijue, the four Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, exchanged glances subconsciously, each showing a faint change in complexion.
Others, such as Purple Qi Ancestor and Mr. Jing Chuan, felt their hearts skip a beat when sensing the overwhelming pressure in the air, each filled with astonishnt.
Although the intruder hadn’t appeared yet, the re pressure emanating was enough to weigh heavily on everyone’s hearts. The intruder’s strength was no less than an average great cultivator, possibly even higher.
Tap, tap, tap!
As the footsteps sounded, a tall and erect figure suddenly erged from the dazzling blaze.
The figure wore a simple plain Daoist robe, a translucent jade token hanging from the waist, a light yellow ring on the right index finger, and bore a fierce and domineering silver mask on the face.
"Dragon Son Baxia?!" Mo Baijue, being knowledgeable, imdiately called out the identity of the intruder: "Be cautious, this is the leader of Zhao’s Secret Departnt!"
Mingyu Demon, Tu Wanxin, and other Nascent Soul Ancestors also recognized the Baxia mask, relaxing slightly but quickly becoming angry.
Daoist Qing Miao’s mind raced, instantly realizing this was an opportunity not to be missed.
Slamming the jade table, he roared furiously, "Presumptuous! To dare intrude upon the alliance’s stronghold! Seize this bandit for the alliance at once!"
Inside the hall, a group of Nascent Soul Ancestors beca eager to act. Mingyu Demon, in particular, was itching to try.
A group of Golden Core Masters in the back of the hall, however, demonstrated so self-awareness, knowing the seriousness of the matter. They understood that this was the duel of the big players and that it’s best for juniors not to get involved, lest they et an untily end.
Bi Fang Ancestor, being the Supre Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, always close with the Southern Sky Zhao Family’s ancestors, intentionally "angrily rebuked": "Zhao Wuji, why are you standing there? Quickly have this man surrender, awaiting the Alliance Hierarch’s decision! Otherwise, your Zhao Family will incur great harm."
"Heh, it’s too late!"
Before the words finished, Mingyu Demon gave a ghastly laugh, coldly exclaid, and suddenly pointed a finger.
Instantly, thousands of Yin Evil Jade Bone Nails turned into a vast white stream of light, shooting straight towards Zhao Sheng, with an assault range covering nearly half of the hall.
Mingyu Demon saw the opponent motionless, seemingly overwheld, couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly, hurriedly channeling the demon technique, casting three layers of Netherworld Phosphorus Demon Qi on all Yin Evil Jade Bone Nails.
In an instant, faint black smoke arose from the surface of each jade bone nail, where countless phosphorus fires, as fine as cow hair, were flickering.
Seeing a surefire hit, malevolent light and murderous intent filled Mingyu Demon’s eyes.
In a critical mont, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his cheek, his body involuntarily lifted off the ground, flying backwards.
Before he could react, he suddenly heard a cold voice by his ear, "Noisy!"
Bang!
Mingyu Demon collided fiercely with the east wall of the hall, under which massive force, he astonishingly smashed through the wall, the whole person fell out of the hall, leaving a horrifying big hole in the wall.
Zhao Sheng flicked his fingers, sending a large blaze soaring into the sky, easily suspending all the Yin Evil Jade Bone Nails in mid-air, then with a sweep of his hand, the myriad of bone nails whistled into his sleeve, disappearing from sight.
This exchange was unbelievably swift!
Most people could not even see how Zhao Sheng made a move or how Mingyu Demon fell to defeat in bewildernt!
They simply saw an esteed Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn’t handle even one move in front of the masked man.
Everyone’s spirits were severely shaken, looking at each other in speechless astonishnt.
Compared to the Golden Core juniors, Daoist Qing Miao, Tu Wanxin, and several Nascent Soul Ancestors could more clearly perceive the unfathomable strength of the newcor!
Daoist Qing Miao subconsciously stood up, his gaze becoming uncertain.
Since when did the Southern Sky Zhao Family gain such a top-notch great cultivator?
Could this be the disciple personally trained by that figure?
Or is this person an outsider expert secretly recruited by the Southern Sky Zhao Family from the Outer Continent?
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Daoist Qing Miao’s mind, but any of them would pose a significant threat to his plans.
Zhao Sheng sent Mingyu Demon flying with a slap, as if casually swatting a mosquito.
For a mont, everyone seed stunned, no one daring to move or speak.
At this ti, Zhao Sheng, however, spoke up: "I, on behalf of the Southern Sky Zhao Family, cast a dissenting vote! Does anyone object?"
