Chapter 1398: Chapter 1398: Mother of Deep Red
The one who spoke was naturally the Sky Horse Sect Leader. His voice was cold and solemn, his gaze ablaze as he stared at the dark crimson figure. Behind him, a pure white radiance unfolded, exuding waves of natural laws and seemingly connecting heaven and earth. Stranger yet, the entire grand conference hall, even the surrounding space, appeared to be linked to him at this mont. The only exception was the woman he called the Mother of Deep Red—she remained isolated, an outsider.
“It’s been a long ti, Little Li,” the Mother of Deep Red chuckled softly. “Back then, when I saw you, you were trailing behind the Sky Dragon, looking weak and frail. I never thought you’d rise to decide great matters now. As your friendly neighbor, isn’t it quite the oversight for your Dragon Horse Star System to undertake such significant events without inviting to witness or even take part? Truth be told, I’ve always hoped to beco part of the Dragon Horse Federation.”
The Sky Horse Sect Leader’s face darkened as he replied grimly, “Mother of Deep Red, today is a montous occasion for our Dragon Horse Star System. Are you certain you wish to cause trouble at such a ti? If that’s the case, starting from now, you’ll be the enemy of our entire galaxy.”
The Mother of Deep Red covered her mouth and laughed lightly. “You speak as if you actually have the authority to represent the entire galaxy. If that’s so, then tell —how did I co to know of the news? Apparently, not everyone is under your control. Wouldn’t you all agree?” As she spoke, her gaze swept over the faces of the representatives from various races in attendance.
The Sky Horse Sect Leader’s figure slowly floated upward. Gigantic, pristine wings unfurled behind him, and his body seed to turn nearly transparent in that instant, with an overwhelming aura brewing within him like a storm.
The Mother of Deep Red remained utterly calm, with no detectable aura emanating from her. She even looked at him with a hint of disdain.
“Your boldness has certainly grown since the old days. Yet, do you truly believe you alone can stop ? Understand, I am not here to disrupt things—rely to discuss a few matters while the timing is right. If you agree to my terms, I wouldn’t mind joining the Dragon Horse Federation and becoming one of you. Why not? It would only make our federation stronger, wouldn’t you agree?”
The Sky Horse Sect Leader floated slowly to her side, speaking in a stern tone, “This is rely a projection of yours. Do you honestly think you can prevent the founding of our federation? Regardless of who inford you of this event, you were not invited. Leave imdiately, or you will beco the enemy of our entire galaxy.”
Interrupted at such a critical mont, the Sky Horse Sect Leader was truly enraged.
The Mother of Deep Red smiled faintly and said, “How do you know my true form isn’t already here? Do you think anything you do could truly hinder ? Impossible. I’ve been lonely for far too long. Ever since the heartbreak of ten thousand years ago, I’ve mostly been asleep. But coming here today has brought a few surprises, indeed.”
The Sky Horse Sect Leader narrowed his eyes slightly. “I will only ask this once: leave, or not?”
The Mother of Deep Red stared him down without hesitation. “And what if I don’t leave?”
The Sky Horse Sect Leader’s eyes instantly glowed, transforming into brilliant gold in a split second—a telltale sign of his Sky Horse Battle Qi gathering.
At this mont, he could not afford to show weakness, especially with so many Super God-level powerhouses present.
Lan Xuanyu held Bai Xiuxiu close, deliberately avoiding looking at either of the two figures in the air. Their cultivation levels were simply too overwhelming; gazing too much could lead to unforeseen consequences.
As tensions rose to a near breaking point, it was puzzling to see that none of the Dragon Horse Star System’s Super God-level powerhouses showed any intention of intervening.
This realization sent both shockwaves and dread through Lan Xuanyu. It beca clear that the Mother of Deep Red must be a renowned figure in the Dragon Horse Star System, possessing extraordinary power that even the Sky Horse Sect Leader had to fear.
Just then, a serene voice broke through the tension. “Brother Sky Horse, she is a guest from afar. Let’s hear her out and talk with the Mother of Deep Red.”
When this voice resounded, the oppressive atmosphere in the grand conference hall significantly shifted, as if everything had lted away. Even the suffocating pressure dissipated in that instant.
The sound was unmistakably familiar to Lan Xuanyu—a voice that had once etched deep impressions, or perhaps shadows, into his mory.
He was here? He had arrived!
Lan Xuanyu exhaled in relief, yet an unusual emotion rose within him: frustration. Frustration at his own insignificance. Compared to these top leaders, he was rely a drop in the ocean, utterly powerless.
The Mother of Deep Red was montarily stunned upon hearing the voice but quickly curved her lips into a smile. “Long ti no see, Sky Dragon!”
A figure appeared as if taking a leisurely stroll from the void, silently erging beside the Sky Horse Sect Leader. With a gentle smile, he nodded toward the Mother of Deep Red. “It has been ages, and yet the Mother of Deep Red looks as radiant as ever. I, however, have grown old. Surely, the Sacred Mother has maintained herself better.”
The Mother of Deep Red responded calmly, “You flatter . I’ve long since entered the twilight of life—otherwise, I wouldn’t have co here specially.”
Sky Dragon said, “This isn’t the place for such discussions. If the Sacred Mother has ideas to share, why don’t the three of us talk privately?”
“That would be fine.” The appearance of the Sky Dragon Leader visibly cooled the Mother of Deep Red’s earlier aggressiveness, and she agreed readily.
The gaze of the Sky Horse Sect Leader had also returned to tranquility. In a flash of light, the three mighty figures vanished from mid-air.
Their departure imdiately altered the atmosphere of the hall as the various representatives began whispering amongst themselves.
Why had the Mother of Deep Red appeared? Who had inford her? And what could her purpose here be?
The Eight-Ard Demon God King’s icy glare swept over the assembly, pausing on several patriarchs seated around the central round table. He spoke coldly, “If I find out who summoned this woman, I will tear them apart and destroy their divine consciousness.”
The Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang sat back down without a hint of emotion, as though nothing had happened.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had also eased up sowhat. Clearly, the Sky Dragon Leader had anticipated potential disturbances and arrived early on Sky Horse Star to prepare for contingencies. Yet, trouble had indeed co their way. Fortunately, with the two leaders present, they had stopped the Mother of Deep Red in her tracks.
However, without the two leaders present, the voting process stalled. The representatives could only wait for a resolution to erge from the private discussions.
Lan Xuanyu found himself deeply curious about the origins of the Mother of Deep Red. For her to command such fear from the two leaders, how formidable must her power truly be? It wasn’t rely about her influence—her individual strength, too, had to be unparalleled. Besides, she didn’t seem to belong to the Dragon Horse Star System.
The universe is vast indeed, with endless mysteries. Without sufficient strength, one could never truly take part in its affairs.
This trip to the Sky Horse Star had yielded vast and critical information. Lan Xuanyu knew he must deliver it to the federation as soon as possible; otherwise, they would remain at a disadvantage.
What kind of being was the Mother of Deep Red, who dared to confront the two leaders directly? This ant her power was at least on par with the Sky Dragon Leader—or possibly even greater. What a terrifying existence! But from where had she erged?
Ti ticked by during the wait, and everyone speculated on the outco of the negotiation occurring behind closed doors.
