Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: The Arrival of the Mysterious Woman
They were contemplating whether to comply or defy after this conference concluded. What degree of resistance would be appropriate in response to the federation’s unification?
Today, when thirty-five Sky Horse Knights appeared, the rebellious resolve of the various representatives waned further. They all knew—they could no longer resist. Since resistance was futile, the only option was to resign themselves, agreeing first, then considering the next steps.
Just at this mont, however, the Sky Horse Sect Leader displayed an open-minded side, actively responding to the representatives’ questions, allowing everyone to understand the future of the Dragon Horse Federation’s unification.
This approach inevitably offered a mont of relief. While it did not lead the representatives to suddenly support the initiative, at the very least, understanding more would influence their future sentints regarding the federation’s formation. The Sky Horse Sect Leader and his allies conveyed information intended for the representatives, clarifying the future policies of the Dragon Horse Federation.
Under two days of oppressive tension, now the representatives of the various races were eager to learn these details, leaving deeper impressions in their mories.
“asured and deliberate,” was the evaluation Lan Xuanyu arrived at in this mont.
Compared to the simple and forceful tactics of the previous two days, the Sky Horse Sect Leader had now transford into soone completely different. Lan Xuanyu was sincerely impressed; the leaders of the Dragon Horse Star System’s various races clearly possessed exceptional wisdom. This was evidently planned long before the conference began, not improvised on the spot.
Impressive, truly impressive!
But, could this really pass without issue?
Unconsciously, he glanced towards the inner circle’s five leaders who were not among the top five races supporting the federation’s formation.
These individuals were also top-tier powerhouses. At this mont, each one appeared exceptionally calm yet equally silent, rely listening quietly to the Sky Horse Sect Leader’s words.
Today’s eting lasted unusually long. The Sky Horse Sect Leader stood throughout, patiently answering the various questions. He seed profoundly composed.
Finally, when most of the questions had been addressed and the hall fell back into silence, the Sky Horse Sect Leader spoke sonorously: “I believe more questions will arise in the future. The federation’s establishnt is not achieved in a single stroke; we must continually advance through exploration. But I ask that you trust the federation’s unification will undoubtedly be a grand opportunity for all of our races. Territorial boundaries will remain unchanged; the only shift is the need to adhere to the Federation’s parliant’s unified directives. You will contribute, but you will also gain in return. Now, let us begin the vote.”
For the Dragon Horse Star System, a historic mont had finally arrived. Even Lan Xuanyu, on the opposing side, found his composure stretched taut in this instant.
Following the Sky Horse Sect Leader’s detailed explanations and declarations, the atmosphere in the hall was clearly no longer as heavy as it had been at the start.
It had to be said that the leading races, spearheaded by Sky Dragon and Sky Horse, had handled this event with remarkable finesse. They had deftly played on the emotional fluctuations of the various representatives—from initial rigidity and dominance, even resorting to slaughter if necessary, to later adopting a softer tone to explain the necessity and significance of forming the federation. The stark contrast between these approaches created an impactful shift, influencing the emotions of the representatives present. With absolute strength serving as the foundation, this tactic was undeniably effective.
“Those in favor of establishing the federation, raise your hand.” The Sky Horse Sect Leader called out in a deep voice. As he spoke, he was the first to lift his right hand.
At his side, the Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, Eight-Ard Demon God King, Golden Mantis King, and Dominator of Sky rose to their feet one by one, raising their right hands. The synchronized expressions of the five supre powerhouses, coupled with the imnse deterrence from the surrounding Sky Horse Knights, instantly intensified the atmosphere.
But just at this mont, an odd voice suddenly broke out.
“Hold on a mont.” As soon as this voice erged, the five powerhouses led by the Sky Horse Sect Leader all montarily turned pale.
What caused their color to drain was not simply the unexpected interruption. Opposition was not what instilled fear. The issue lay in the fact that, despite the protection offered by the nurous Sky Horse Knights and the presence of the strongest individuals present, they could not trace the origin of this voice at all.
In the next instant, the light within the grand conference hall dimd by several shades. A faint, dark red hue descended silently, causing the atmosphere in the hall to grow increasingly oppressive.
It had co—a confrontation long anticipated had arrived.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart clenched, his hand instinctively grasping Bai Xiuxiu’s beside him. He was prepared to teleport away at a mont’s notice.
But at that very mont, he was startled to discover that all the spatial dinsions he could sense had seemingly disappeared. Even with his unique power of perceiving the laws, he could detect no spatial fluctuations whatsoever.
Who was it? What kind of existence could interrupt proceedings in front of so many ultra-divine-level powerhouses, yet possess the fortitude to confront them head-on? Could it possibly be at the legendary God King level? But without the Divine Realm, how could God King-level entities exist?
For a ti, Lan Xuanyu’s mind reeled, filled with disbelief and shock, his thoughts racing in chaos.
Next to him, Bai Xiuxiu was also montarily dazed. Strangely, when that voice echoed, she suddenly felt a dizzying sensation in her mind—as though sothing within her world was beginning to awaken.
What was happening? Just what was going on?
At this mont, the dim red hue in the air began to gather silently. Without emitting the slightest energy fluctuation, it naturally began to take shape. Eventually, it condensed into a figure, standing proudly suspended in mid-air.
It was a woman—a woman who appeared entirely human in form. Yet Lan Xuanyu was certain that among the female powerhouses he had encountered within the Douluo Federation, none corresponded to her identity.
The woman appeared to stand roughly five feet, nine inches tall. Her cascading dark red hair hung down her back, while her fair skin radiated an extraordinary luster, exuding a strange aura throughout her being.
Lan Xuanyu, having recently achieved insight into the laws of power, could faintly discern that the essence surrounding her was a profound law as well. However, compared to her mastery, Lan Xuanyu’s comprehension was so insubstantial it might not even qualify as a flickering spark to her raging fla. Her presence seed entirely birthed and constituted by a primal force of law.
Judging by human aesthetics, this woman in the dark red long gown possessed a face of breathtaking beauty. Yet on either side of her cheeks, there appeared a deep crimson magical pattern—an intricate design comprised of curves and sharp triangles. These markings were no ordinary decoration; rather, they seed to pulse with life, emitting a soft, glowing halo.
What caught Lan Xuanyu’s gaze the most were her eyes. Her piercing red pupils glead like flawless rubies, yet hidden within their depths lay the boundless vastness of the cosmic universe.
Her fingers were impossibly long and slender—pale like fresh spring onions, and at their tips extended long dark red nails exuding a faint, radiant sheen.
Lan Xuanyu forced himself to tear his eyes away, as he realized prolonged observation seed to sap his spiritual will, threatening to consu his very consciousness.
He struggled to regain his focus, turning his attention to Bai Xiuxiu. He found that her gaze had already beco sowhat vacant. He quickly gave her a gentle tug, urging her to face him instead. Bai Xiuxiu’s expression gradually softened.
“Mother of Deep Red!” A somber voice resounded sharply, and along with its reverberation, the entranced representatives from various races abruptly shook themselves free from their prior stupefaction.
