Chapter 2182: Chapter 2150: Anyone Have Any Objections?
"Are young ones nowadays so insensible? Just because someone backs them, they dare to act recklessly towards senior powerful figures?" the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign said coldly.
"I said you’re talking nonsense, seems like I wasn’t wrong at all," Netherworld replied unhurriedly, causing the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign’s expression to turn even uglier.
This is a vast meeting venue. Except for those who couldn’t come for certain reasons or are still in the Ancient Battle Realm, almost all the top-level powerhouses from the Heaven Realm camp sent to participate in this war are here.
Among them was also the Star Arrow Heavenly Master mentioned earlier.
Netherworld’s words practically slapped him in the face in front of so many people.
Ignoring the ugly expression of this Heavenly Sovereign, Netherworld leisurely stepped forward: "Firstly, if you can learn about the highest commanders of the other Three Realms, do you think they can’t find out who the current highest commander of our Heaven Realm is?"
"Since they know who our highest commander is, and we want to replace him, what does that mean? First, it means deception! If the Three Realms think we’re handling them with a deceptive intention from the start, what will they think? How will this meeting end? Perhaps, they might link it to another possibility, like...the Heaven Realm is in chaos!"
"If the Heaven Realm is already in chaos, why wouldn’t the Three Realms take this opportunity to just devour us? Why should they negotiate?" Netherworld looked coldly at the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign and said icily: "This is something everyone present here can probably figure out by using their brains, yet you still say such things. If you’re not a spy sent by the other Three Realms, then you must be crazy to be talking nonsense here!"
The face of the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign turned beet red, and he looked at Netherworld with blazing anger.
But he also knew that he could only posture; there was no real possibility of a fight here.
"And secondly," Netherworld said calmly, looking at the Heavenly Sovereign, "I’m not talking like this because someone backs me. Even if no one backed me, I would still say you’re talking nonsense. Yes, you didn’t misunderstand; I’m targeting you."
"You!!" The Heavenly Sovereign glared at Netherworld with a sinister gaze, then coldly turned his head to look at the stunning woman seated at the head, as if she hadn’t heard anything: "King Yilin, are your subordinates all this arrogant and rude?"
"Of course not." Netherworld picked his ear: "I’m very respectful towards other seniors, and I think other seniors can testify to that. But you..."
Netherworld didn’t continue, but anyone with a brain could deduce the meaning in his words.
"Pfft—"
Beside an elderly man with white whiskers, a young girl couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Her laughter gradually caused many around to chuckle too.
The laughter made the eyes of the Heavenly Sovereign increasingly bloodshot.
Looking at Netherworld, the Heavenly Sovereign said spitefully: "Fine, since you admit you’re targeting me and said you’d do this without backing, I now challenge you. Do you dare accept?!"
He was driven to the extreme, even willing to lower himself to challenge Netherworld, a king, with his Heavenly Sovereign cultivation.
Even if he won, it wouldn’t be a glorious thing and would just be a joke among powerful figures.
If he lost... he probably wouldn’t be able to hold his head up in the Borderland Realm. Of course, he hadn’t considered the possibility of losing.
"Jiuyang Heavenly Venerate, I must remind you, this is the Heaven Realm meeting hall, not a place to settle personal grudges," said another Heavenly Sovereign.
This was a respected and senior Heavenly Sovereign, also one of the few Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerates participating in the war.
Hearing the Elder Heavenly Venerate’s words, Jiuyang Heavenly Venerate could only glare at Netherworld: "Then let’s have a match after the meeting!"
When speaking of ’match,’ Jiuyang Heavenly Venerate’s voice was particularly harsh.
Netherworld slightly cupped his hands: "I’ll accompany."
The farce ended, and someone else spoke up: "However, what Jiuyang Heavenly Venerate said isn’t without reason. The commanders of the other Three Realms are top-notch strong individuals, and although we all trust King Yilin as our representative here, there’s still a risk at that level of exchange."
This person was quite reasonable, speaking from Lin Yi’s perspective, so Netherworld didn’t retort this time.
"Didn’t the meeting state each realm could send five participants? With King Yilin, along with Star Arrow Heavenly Master and Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate, isn’t that enough?"
Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate was, of course, the Elder Heavenly Venerate who spoke earlier.
A king looked grim as he spoke: "We only have three Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerates from the Borderland Realm to the Ancient Battle Realm this time. Except for Star Arrow Heavenly Master and Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate, the whereabouts of Purple Luo Heavenly Venerable are unknown, and he hasn’t returned from the Ancient Battle Realm. Meanwhile, it’s heard that the other Three Realms have more than five Ninth-Order existences."
"If Lord Qinglong were here, we wouldn’t have to worry at all. With Lord Qinglong alone presiding, they wouldn’t dare make a move," someone sighed.
"Lord Qinglong is the foundation of our Heaven Realm, stationed at the rear and cannot move lightly. Otherwise, if we fight in the Ancient Battle Realm and the rear gets uprooted, that would be the real disaster!" The white-whiskered old man beside the young girl who laughed earlier said, shaking his head.
"For this meeting, Star Arrow Heavenly Master, Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate, and I will all participate." At this moment, the woman sitting at the head, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
As soon as she spoke, the people around immediately quieted down.
Although she was just a woman with only Domain Realm cultivation, her ability to sit in this position was forcibly earned through numerous shocking battles!
This is also why, even though most present are Heavenly Sovereigns, no one opposes a woman of Domain Realm sitting at the head.
"However, aside from the three of us, there are still two positions undecided, so we need powerful and absolutely reliable individuals who dare to fight to the death against individuals from the other Three Realms when faced with life and death situations," Lin Yi said calmly, but the information contained in his words made everyone present tense up.
Evidently, Lin Yi had prepared for the worst before the meeting commenced.
Star Arrow Heavenly Master nodded, evidently indicating that this matter had indeed been discussed in advance.
"Let me go." After a moment of silence, a white-bearded elder slowly stepped out, looked at everyone, and chuckled, "I’ve lived for many years, and I’ve long seen through life and death, otherwise I wouldn’t have followed here to this ghost place."
"Grandfather!" Beside the elder, a young girl tried to hold on to her master and grandfather. But clearly, the white-bearded elder had already decided, not easily changing his mind.
"Lingfeng Heavenly Sovereign." Seeing the elder come out, Star Arrow Heavenly Master and Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate nodded towards the elder, showing a smile.
Lingfeng Heavenly Sovereign had long reached the peak of Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, and could break through to Ninth Order anytime. Although unknown issues had prevented attempts at breakthroughs for years, in terms of personality and cultivation, Lingfeng was indeed the most suitable candidate.
"Then the last candidate..."
"The last spot, leave it to me." A voice, abrupt and from outside, suddenly appeared.
Evidently, this was a latecomer.
However, upon seeing this latecomer, everyone fell silent.
"Mad Celestial Sovereign..."
"Mad Celestial Sovereign, you’ve returned too."
Apart from a few Heavenly Sovereigns closely related to Li Changcun greeting him, others remained silent.
Not that they were reluctant to greet Li Changcun, but more like... they dared not.
Li Changcun at this moment lacked grace, covered in blood. His evidently high-grade protective armor was in tatters, his face pale, clearly injured.
What attracted most attention was the great sword he carried on his back.
"Isn’t this the great sword once used by Ancient War God Xing Tian? I almost forgot, this time Xing Tian, also comparable to a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate, comes to battle..."
Before finishing, the speaker was silenced by Li Changcun’s glare.
"Don’t count on Xing Tian," Li Changcun casually found a spot to sit, plunged the great sword into the ground, exhaled, and said, "He’s entangled with a monster, likely stronger than any Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate. He’s probably fighting for his life against that monster now. I picked up this sword when he was fighting that monster."
"What?! Stronger than a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate? How is that possible?! What kind of monster is this? Mad Celestial Sovereign, I mean no offense, but this is unbelievably strange. Furthermore, if Ancient War God Xing Tian can contend with that monster, wouldn’t it mean the Ancient War God is even more powerful than a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate?"
"Pretty much," Li Changcun smirked, not discussing details. He not only picked up the sword but helped Xing Tian. Yet, the monster’s terrifying tail swept him, leaving him injured still.
"If Xing Tian hadn’t found his lifebound weapon Gan Qi on the ancient battlefield, he likely wouldn’t be a match for that monster."
"Enough, let’s not talk about him. I’ll take the last spot, anyone have an objection?" Li Changcun asked.
No one spoke against it.
Who would dare object!
After all, this isn’t the information-isolated Ancient Battle Realm. After emerging, everyone exchanged intelligence.
For instance... despite having only Seventh Rank cultivation, Mad Celestial Sovereign, in a head-to-head clash, single-handedly defeated two Eighth Rank Divine Kings from the Divine Realm!
Mad Celestial Sovereign remains Mad Celestial Sovereign, powerfully unassailable.
