Chapter 245: Immortal Assembly
Chapter 245: Immortal Assembly
“We should be highly prepared for any measures that the Immortal God Sect will use against us tomorrow.” Murmured by the Fang Clan Patriarch as he sat at on a large, round table.
He looked at the other people who sat around the table as he said,
“My negotiations with Xiao Ya have failed. That means the Fang Clan will join the Immortal Assembly.”
Shockingly, all the people that were sitting at the table with the Fang Clan Patriarch were representing some of the great powers in the Immortal Continent!
The Patriarchs of 2 Great Clans, the Sect Heads of 3 Great Sects and representatives of 2 Great Empires were having a meeting right now! That’s almost half of the great powers in the Immortal Continent!
Astonishingly, all these powers have joined together to have a siege plan against the Immortal God Sect!
For the Great Clans, the Fang Clan and the Zhou Clan have joined hands. As for the Feng Clan, they did not participate due to some internal issues. As for the Xiao and Tang Clan, some of their members were the higher-ups in the Immortal God Sect just like Xiao Ya, Xiao Meng and Tang Luo, which makes them naturally aligned with the Immortal God Sect.
As for the Great Sects, it was the Transcendent Sword Sect, Beast Master Sect and the Soul Reaper Sect that will join the siege. The other sects refused the invitation, with the Ice Empress Sect and the Alchemy Palace Sect extremely condemning the planned siege.
It was still unknown whether they might possibly help the Immortal God Sect. As for the Martial King Sect and the Ultimate Formations Sect, they kept quite about the matter, not even bothering to respond.
As for the Great Empires, the Pan Gu Empire and the Tian Ji Empire obviously had joined together. Both held grudges to the Immortal God Sect, which was definitely related to the Solstice Kingdom fiasco.
As for the Central Divine Empire, which was considered as the strongest power in the Immortal Continent, they just released a statement saying,
“The fate of the weak is to be devoured by the strong. If it was the fate of the Immortal God Sect to be devoured, then so be it. But the Central Divine Empire shall not partake in such barbaric practice.”
These 7 powers comprise the hastily made Immortal Assembly.
“Hmph, good thing you did not back down. The more of us are there, the better it is for us.” A person wearing beast robes muttered. His body was extremely ripped, even much more than Tang Luo! His face looked gruff as his jaw was covered with his thick beard. He was slightly caressing a sheep that was snuggling on his thigh.
The gentle expression on his face as he petted the sheep did not match the scary look on his face and his murderous tone!
This was the Sect Head of the Beast Master Sect, Ye Wang!
“So your pitiful brain can actually comprehend such thing huh.” Replied by the Fang Clan Patriarch. It seemed like he had a beef with Ye Wang in the past. “Since you just joined us to fight. Why don’t you just shut your mouth as you swing your meaty arms around?”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
The two tried to stand up, as if they wanted to butt their foreheads.
“Schiing.”
It was a 10-feet long sword that stopped the two from confronting each other. The holder of the sword was a plain-looking woman. Her face was the type that was the most normal in the continent, the one that can be just seen on the streets. Even a powerful practitioner can easily forget her looks, since it was just that plain.
Even her body, which should have been bombastic, was slender.
But even though she appeared plain, the aura that she was emanating was an extremely sharp one! One can feel as if there were swords piercing their eyes if they looked at her aura.
She was the Sect Head of the Transcendent Sword Sect, Jian Bing!
“If you want to fight, do it tomorrow against the Immortal God Sect.” Jian Bing said coldly. “We must never underestimate the Immortal God Sect. You acting like this just makes our efforts useless.”
“Hmmph, you just want to claim Xiao Ya as your own right?” Ye Wang said while sneering. “Since that Sect Head of the Immortal God Sect rejected your confession before, you always wanted to find a way to keep her by yourself. And isn’t this attack the best way to ‘conquer’ her?”
“No.....That’s not.... true...” Jian Bing tried to look dignified, but her blushing face and trembling body said otherwise. In the end, she could only sit down embarrassedly as she gave Ye Wang a death glare. “My love for her is real and pure! Savages like you will not understand it!”
“Everyone calm down. We are here to discuss about the attack on the Immortal God Sect tomorrow right?” This time, it was a handsome person who spoke up. His skin was fair, while his long, black hair was hung behind him nicely. His bright eyes, sharp nose and thin lips were all the epitome of a handsome beauty.
This person was Patriarch of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Yi!
“Tch. Shut up you sissy. Remove your face here. It makes me irritated.” Ye Wang, who was already in loggerheads with the Fang Clan Patriarch and Jian Bing actually insulted another person!
“I think I cannot do that Brother Ye.” Zhou Yi said softly. He gave Ye Wang a smile as he also said,
“Everyone of us here are allied, and we must do out best to help each other. Right? Right?”
This was not the first time that Ye Wang talked to Zhou Yi, but he still felt chills seeing the impossibly amicable look on his face.
“.....” As for the Sect Head of the Soul Reaper Sect, his whole body was covered with countless wailing souls. He also just sat on his chair, not making any sound at all, He was just... there.
As for the representatives of the Tian Ji Empire and the Pan Gu Empire, they also just sat on their respective seats, with their faces covered with masks. Just like the Sect Head of the Soul Reaper Sect, they also showed their unwillingness to immediately talk.
Zhou Yi smiled happily, clearly satisfied with everyone being quiet.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s start the first meeting of the Immortal Assembly.” He clapped his hands as he looked at the others. To his dismay, they did not clap with him. They clearly wanted to be done with this meeting already.
“.......Well, our first topic is, who on the Immortal God Sect should we focus killing first?” Zhou Yi looked at them expectantly with that sickeningly excited eyes of his.
Before the others could state their opinion, the Fang Clan Patriarch already said his piece.
“It must be that Wang Hao.”
“Wang Hao? Who is that guy? Is he strong?” Ye Wang scratched his head, looking quite confused. “Is he an Elder of the Immortal God Sect?”
“No, he’s just an Outer Disciple.”
“Then why should we be worried about him then?” Ye Wang said as he started giving the Fang Clan Patriarch an angry look. “You must be trolling us right?”
The Fang Clan Patriarch sighed, realizing that Ye Wang’s sect did not do their research again. He gave Ye Wang another ridiculing look as he said,
“That Wang Hao guy suddenly just appeared one year ago, from the Mystical Forest of all places! There’s even no indication that he even existed before that! He also had unknown abilities that seemed to defy the practitioner rules! Even if it looked like he had a weak cultivation, he was not damaged even when he was attacked twice by one my clan’s Punishers!”
Slight gasps were heard across the room. It was clear to everyone here how strong the Punishers were. This Wang Hao actually survived an encounter against one of them? Just that shows how dangerous he was!
“Aside from that, there were also some reports saying that he helped in the recovery of the Elder Feng Zun’s wife of the Feng Clan.” This time, the Fang Clan Patriarch gave Zhou Yi an accusatory look.
The association of the Zhou Clan with the poisoning of Elder Feng Zun’s wife was an open secret to everyone. The only thing lacking was the evidence for their involvement.
Zhou Yi just smiled at his blatant accusation, not saying anything at all.
“Also, there were accounts saying that he had a major contribution on the closing of the Underworld Portal.” The Fang Clan Patriarch then paused as he continued talking. “Just earlier, we sent some Third to Fourth Stage Practitioners to have a test attack on the Immortal God Sect.”
“You all know what happened right? A fatty suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, all those attackers died!”
“So that fatso is Wang Hao?” Ye Wang said as an excited look appeared on his face. “I want to fight him!”
The Fang Clan Patriarch sighed once more as he tried to talk Ye Wang down. But he was interrupted as Zhou Yi said sonorously,
“There’s no need to fight him Ye Wang. I already made a plan to kill Wang Hao.”
“Tsk.” Ye Wang sat down, clearly disappointed with what Zhou Yi said. If Zhou Yi said that he already had a plan to kill Wang Hao, he will really have one, and this plan will surely work.
“So, care to tell us this plan of yours?” Ye Wang asked with obvious curiosity on his voice.
“Of course I will. After all, all of us are needed for this plan to succeed.”
Everyone leaned forward on their tables, wanting to hear what Zhou Yi will say.
Zhou Yi coughed lightly as he said,
“So first, we will...”
