Chapter 708: The Leader of the Zhutian Alliance Visits
The guards quickly carried the struggling city lord, his face full of astonishment and unwillingness.
Now the orders of the Lord of Tianhuang Territory are like iron laws, and no one dares to disobey.
Deep in the dungeon, the dim candlelight flickered, illuminating the cold stone walls.
The city lord was pushed into a spacious cell, and the iron door slammed shut with a heavy sound.
He fell to the ground. It was so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing and the faint sound of dripping water in the distance.
Just like the children he sent to the Territory Lord's Mansion, he was also abandoned in the darkness.
On the other side, Tian Huang clapped his hands, "After dealing with this city lord, there are still many people in Wangyou City and the other three realms who need to be dealt with. No one with ties to the Dark Realm can be left alive."
Tian Huang is currently the most powerful of the major domain masters. Everyone nodded in agreement, "Indeed, such hidden dangers must not be allowed to remain."
Tian Huang glanced sideways at the girl who was speaking with her eyes lowered. "You are the deputy domain master of Jinglong Domain. I have never seen you before. What is your name?"
Luo Li raised her eyes upon hearing this and chuckled, "My name is Luo Li."
"Luo Li..." The two words went around in Tian Huang's mouth. She raised her eyes and said, "Let's go inside and talk together."
Luo Li looked directly into her pale golden eyes, "Okay."
Ye Yuan blocked Luo Li without leaving any trace and said with a smile, "Why is the Lord of Tianhuang Territory interested in the Deputy Lord of my Jinglong Territory?"
Tian Huang scoffed, "Ye Yuan, I have no ill will towards her, don't be so sensitive."
Di Xuanming held Luo's wrist and walked towards the meeting hall.
Tian Huang sighed, "I really don't know if he is the domain master or you are the domain master."
Ye Yuan's face turned cold, and he glanced at her sideways, "Tian Huang, you should know that if he wanted to, he could be the master of the entire Wanshou Continent. I'm warning you, don't have any bad thoughts about them."
The Lord of the Sky Phoenix Territory was dressed in red like fire, with a playful smile on his lips, but he said nothing more. Only a complex look flashed in the depths of his pale golden eyes.
Ye Yuan's figure was as black as ink, standing in place, emitting bursts of coldness from his body, and his eyes were like blades, as if giving a silent warning.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became strange. The domain lords who were about to follow Luo Li and the others to the meeting hall looked at each other in confusion: Do they have a grudge? I haven't heard of it.
So some people didn't dare to leave, while some people wanted to hear what was going on between the two people, so they hesitated and didn't leave at all.
Luo Li in front looked back and asked, "Does Tian Huang know that we are not from the Myriad Beasts Continent?"
Di Xuanming chuckled, "That's right, Tian Huang knows we're not from the Myriad Beasts Continent. Because of her master, she's always somewhat hostile towards outsiders, but don't worry, she won't have any thoughts about us for at least the next three years."
Luo Li was thoughtful, "So that's how it is..."
On the other side, Tian Huang raised the corner of his lips, "Ye Yuan, I don't care where you come from or where you are going. But at least for now, you have no disloyalty towards the Myriad Beasts Continent, so at least at this moment, we are on the same front, right?"
Ye Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and the coldness subsided a little, but the invisible oppression around him did not go away.
He spoke slowly, his voice low but filled with unquestionable power, "The Sky Phoenix Territory Lord is absolutely right. We have always acted with integrity. Since we share the same goal, we should strive to cooperate. However, if one day our positions conflict..."
He paused, a cold look flashing in his eyes, "I hope that day won't come."
He walked towards Luo Li and the other person, "Let's go, we have many important matters to discuss."
Tian Huang's smile faded, and he also walked towards the meeting hall.
Inside the meeting hall.
The candlelight illuminated Tian Huang's cold and beautiful face. Her eyes were as sharp as torches as she scanned the domain lords sitting around.
Inside the room, a map was spread out, marking the distribution of various forces, like chess pieces on a chessboard, waiting for her layout.
Tian Huang tapped the map with his fingertips, "This should be the place where all the dark realm seals of the Myriad Beasts Continent are located."
The Domain Lords from each of the major domains stepped forward to inspect the area, then nodded and said, "Yes, there should be nothing missing."
Tian Huang's fingertips slowly slid along the dark world seals on the map. Every time she passed a seal, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
The areas around these seals are not all inaccessible to humans. Some are even near certain cities. If the seal is broken...
The flickering candlelight stretched her shadow long and cast it on the ground, like a cold sculpture.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes like lightning, scanning the area around the Territory Lords, and said in a deep voice, "We must station people around these seals."
After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves, and a streak of golden spiritual power slammed onto the map, lighting up all the sealed places.
The Lord of the Yaoyue Territory was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. His name was Jiang Zhenyue. He frowned and said, "Tianhuang, you are a little too idealistic."
Tian Huang glanced sideways, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhenyue stood up and walked to the long table. "This map shows the large rift that our predecessors sealed many years ago. Once it is opened, undead spirits no less powerful than Soul Emperors will emerge."
He looked at Tian Huang and sighed, "We don't have that many Soul Emperor-level experts stationed there. Besides, most of them have to protect the major cities. If the city falls, that would be a real nightmare."
Upon hearing this, the domain masters of the major domains nodded in agreement, "Yes, there are still some small rifts that need people. Although there are many cultivators on the mainland, only soul-level spiritual masters can be of use in the face of the Dark Realm."
Tian Huang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Luo Li, "What do you think?"
Luo Li raised her eyes, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Me?"
Tian Huang nodded, "Yes, what do you think?"
She hinted, "You're so young, and I've never heard of you on the mainland before. Could it be that you're from another continent? I wonder what you think of this situation?"
Before Luo Li could speak, Jiang Zhenyue frowned and said, "Tianhuang Territory Lord, Young Master Luo saved the lives of those young people in the secret realm. Why are you speaking so sarcastically?"
Luo Li's lips curled up into a faint smile, her eyes as clear as a spring. Before she could say anything, her whole body exuded a calm but unignorable aura.
She turned her head slightly, avoiding Tian Huang's slightly probing gaze, and turned to look at the vast sea of clouds outside the window, as if in deep thought.
Tian Huang's hostility came out of nowhere, perhaps it was related to her dead master.
After Jiang Zhenyue finished speaking, the meeting hall fell silent for a moment. Only the sound of the wind outside the window and the subtle breathing of the crowd were left. The atmosphere was subtle and tense.
Some people thought: Tianhuang is really strange. Although he is young, how can he be connected to someone who is not from the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent? Tianhuang's words are as harsh as ever.
Luo Li curled her lips and was about to speak when the guard outside suddenly came in to report. He looked a little panicked and said in a hurry:
"My Lords, the leader of the Zhutian Alliance has arrived!"
