Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Controlling the Holy Sky Alliance
"Greetings, Master!"
Following that, the two Judges turned to look at Ye Luo, who had knelt on one knee, and called out in a deep voice.
A trace of surprise flickered in Ye Luo’s eyes as he asked, "You call me master?"
"The Alliance Hierarch passed down a decree, stating that anyone with the Nine Yang Physique is the master of us, the six Judges, and we must follow their commands unequivocally, or we shall suffer annihilation from the heavens!"
The two Judges spoke in unison.
Ye Luo had not expected such a development; it seemed he had benefited a great deal from Sheng Tianyang, receiving a free Holy Sky Alliance and the support of six mighty experts.
"You shouldn’t be the first generation of Judges, should you?"
Ye Luo looked at the two and abruptly asked.
"Indeed, our master was among the first generation of the six Judges. Forty years ago, he took us in and guided us to start our cultivation. Sensing that their time was coming to an end ten years ago, they sought a breakthrough and thus began their closed-door death meditation."
The two Judges said in a hoarse tone.
"Closed-door death meditation!"
A look of surprise passed through Ye Luo’s eyes; naturally, he was well aware of what it meant. It was something only practitioners who felt their lives nearing their end would undertake.
Once one begins closed-door death meditation, without a breakthrough, it means death; conversely, success grants them a renewed, lengthy life. Clearly, the first generation of Judges had reached the stage where their time was running out, and so they sought a breakthrough through this meditation.
Without a breakthrough, their souls would probably return to dust, but they had made arrangements well in advance, cultivating a new generation of six Judges, each of formidable strength.
"Where are the other four Judges?"
Ye Luo asked again.
"The other four have not come. If the master wishes to summon them, I can immediately have them come over."
"No need, we’ll speak of it when their presence is required,"
Ye Luo shook his head.
"Alright, I now formally announce that Ye Luo is the new Hierarch of the Holy Sky Alliance. Starting today, everyone must follow the Hierarch’s directives! Any who disobey, kill!"
Lu Zhen Guo stood forth, his presence like a raging storm, his voice thundering as he called out.
"We greet the Alliance Hierarch!"
Instantly, the group of Elders all knelt in unison, greeting Ye Luo.
Previously, they had some objections to Ye Luo taking the position of Alliance Hierarch, but now, seeing that even the six Judges were addressing Ye Luo as their master, they dared not harbor any further thoughts.
Even Elder Cai, who had just lost his beloved child, was respectfully half-kneeling on the ground toward Ye Luo, devoid of any second thoughts.
"We greet the Alliance Hierarch!"
Afterward, the Elders each took their turn to bow, and thousands of disciples from the Holy Sky Alliance likewise knelt on the ground, calling out with respectful faces.
Seeing these thousands of people bow to him, Ye Luo felt a sensation of lightness, as if he were a true Emperor, commanding the submission of all subjects.
The golden blood within his body boiled once again, and a majestic and supreme Emperor’s aura unfurled, engulfing the entire valley.
For a moment, everyone present felt as if Ye Luo before them was an Emperor towering above heaven and earth, compelling them to worship instinctively. Under the awe of this Emperor’s aura, their submission to Ye Luo deepened in their hearts.
"Alright, you may all rise,"
Ye Luo said calmly, and everyone in attendance stood up.
"Now that I’ve become the Alliance Hierarch, I must say, from this day forward, you all must obey my commands, and anyone who dares harbor dissent should not blame me for being impolite. Although my realm may not be as high as yours, it would still be a breeze for me to take your lives."
Ye Luo spoke in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping across the group with a deterrence that was not to be underestimated.
"Yes!"
The people present nodded one after another.
"Of course, I won’t be the Alliance Hierarch for nothing."
As Ye Luo spoke, he took out a bunch of elixirs he had refined in his spare time from the Lingyun Ring, all of which were Yellow Rank, Fifth Grade to Yellow Rank, Ninth Grade elixirs.
Now that Ye Luo could use the power of his soul and wield the might of the Ice Flame, he had more than enough ability to refine Yellow Rank, Ninth Grade elixirs, and had already begun to refine Xuan Rank elixirs.
Moreover, he had refined a large batch of Yellow Rank elixirs, including the Boundary Breaking Pill for breaking through to the Saint Realm, the Qi Recovery Pill for restoring True Qi, and some other elixirs for healing and strengthening one’s power. Needless to say, the Lingyun Ring contained a large stash of medicinal materials.
Seeing these bottles of elixirs, Lu Zhen Guo and the others all displayed an astoundingly shocked expression.
A hundred years ago, during the Holy Sky Alliance’s glorious era, elixirs were naturally abundant since the alliance had its own alchemists specializing in elixir refinement.
Even the pill-refining ability of these alchemists was stronger than those from the Elixir Sect, but after that battle, all the alchemists within the Holy Sky Alliance had perished.
Naturalmente, la Santa Alianza Sagrada no contaba con alquimistas, y no podían ir a la Secta del Elixir para comprar elixires, así que hasta ahora, Lu Zhen Guo y los demás ya no tenían elixires.
Not to mention Yellow Rank, Seventh Grade, and Yellow Rank, Ninth Grade elixirs anymore.
Now, suddenly seeing so many elixirs, including Yellow Rank, Ninth Grade ones, their shock was naturally immense.
"This is just a part of it, I will bring out a batch of Spirit Stones later to help you all improve your strengths. Sheng Tianyang once made the Holy Sky Alliance stand at the peak amongst the Hidden Sects, nearly uniting the entire Hidden Sects. I, Ye Luo, can do the same. What Sheng Tianyang did not finish, I, Ye Luo, will complete," Ye Luo said strongly, filled with fervent ambition.
"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch!"
Lu Zhen Guo said outright, with the rest of them also speaking up. At this moment, their sense of submission to Ye Luo deepened.
"Moreover, the Seven Stars Pavilion should already know about this place by now. Once that guy returns to the Pavilion, they will surely come looking. So, you all must retreat immediately; with your current strength, you are no match for the Seven Stars Pavilion," Ye Luo stated.
"Understood. We’ll arrange for everyone to retreat immediately," Lu Zhen Guo nodded.
"But moving so many of you out of here is indeed an issue," Ye Luo said, frowning slightly as he looked at the thousands of people.
"Alliance Hierarch need not worry. Apart from this place, we have a hidden retreat that was prepared a long time ago as a contingency for when this place was discovered," Lu Zhen Guo quickly said.
"That’s good," Ye Luo nodded, then returned to the council hall, his eyes fixed on the statue in front of him. Ye Luo threw a fierce punch, shattering the statue.
Bang!
Instantly, the statue of Sheng Tianyang broke apart, stones flying in all directions, and a golden light burst forth. The bead containing the rich Nine Yang Energy appeared before Ye Luo, and he grasped it in his palm.
"Alliance Hierarch, why did you smash the statue of the Sacred Alliance Hierarch? That’s a great taboo!"
Seeing Ye Luo smash the statue of Sheng Tianyang, Lu Zhen Guo and the others rushed in, their faces changing drastically, wearing expressions of great urgency.
