Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1159: Chapter 622: Visiting the War Alliance? Subtle Confrontation! (Part 2)

There are also Starry Sky Wanderers wrapped around by Space Ripple, as if pieced together by pure space fragments, and Heavenly Crystal Divine Generals whose bodies seem to be made of crystal, infused with violent starburst power.

The aura brought by these Alien Race powerhouses is like a blend of cold currents and fierce flames, continuously colliding, repelling, and dissolving, forming a suffocating muddy quagmire in the center of the Great Hall.

The main seat at the top of the Great Hall, originally meant for Zhan Jiuxiao, is currently left vacant.

Jiang Shu sits upright in the first seat to the bottom left of the main seat, wearing a dark blue outfit.

The Dark Gold Shattered World Gloves bestowed by a Supreme Elder flow with watery glow at his fingertips, perfectly restraining any exposed aura.

His expression is calm, his gaze sweeping over the faces below, each harboring their own thoughts, yet in the depths of his eyes, like a waveless deep sea, no emotion could be reflected.

To the left is Zhan Feng, with a burly frame, propping himself with a Furious Tide Giant Axe, magnified several times, entwined with blood light and bronze Evil Qi as if alive.

His seated posture is somewhat indifferent, with the laziness of someone just recovering from severe injuries. The newly acquired Star Artifact Axe casually rests against his shoulder, its heavy sharp intent silently slicing at any probing aura approaching. Occasionally, the Blood Dragon totem on the axe would flash with red light, vaguely echoing primordial roars around him.

To the right is Zhan Yun, clad in Silver Frost Soft Armor, her cool and delicate features appearing somewhat pale under the dim light, but the composed calmness remains undiminished.

The Vast Sea Tide Sound Star Pendant dangles blue deep sea micro-light from her slender neck, the soft power caresses her skin in strands, silently soothing the searing pain of a ferocious wound at her ribs.

Her fingertips lightly rest on the Star Short Blade laid horizontally on her knees, the runes on its surface flickering, quietly smoothing out the chaotic force field around.

The positioning of the trio, Jiang Shu, Zhan Feng, and Zhan Yun, subtly forms an invisible boundary, dividing the solemn and grand Great Hall into an inside and an outside.

"Young Alliance Master of the War Alliance, Miss Zhan Yun, long time no see, still as unrivaled and elegant, truly enviable."

From the upper left position, a Mechanical Divine Envoy, fully covered in streamlined platinum armor, is the first to speak, its voice modulation device simulating a warm, deep male voice, with no hint of mechanical coldness, rather like sunshine caressing jade, pleasing to the ear.

The scarlet optical eyes flicker with a glow of high-speed computation, precisely scanning the life signs and energy fluctuations of the three opposite, especially pausing on Jiang Shu for a moment, with streams of data silently passing through its deep optical eyes.

"The Vice Alliance Hierarch is bustling with affairs, to have two core prodigies welcome us already exemplifies your alliance’s sincerity."

It nods slightly, the movement smooth without a hint of human joint awkwardness, looking at Jiang Shu with an expression indistinguishable from that of the Human Clan, filled with curiosity.

"Just this person... pardon my ignorance, the entries in the database seem somewhat unclear?"

"I wonder which core elder of the War Alliance is this, that he can sit beside the Young Alliance Master?"

The words are gentle and polite, even carrying just the right amount of compliment, but the implications behind the designation of "core elder" are piercing.

Who gives you the right to represent the War Alliance?

This was a deliberate targeting of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu had previously stood firm against the clone of the Mechanical Mother in the Deep Space Sea, and not long ago, he had been framed by the Doomsday Sect for jointly ambushing Cosmic Geniuses with the Mechanical Mother and the War Alliance; it was impossible for these Mechanical Clan members not to recognize Jiang Shu.

Another envoy from under the Insect Emperor’s throne interjects, its mouthparts opening and closing at the location of the face covered in Seven-Colored Armor, producing leaf-rustling rasp sound waves, converted by some power into human speech, with a tone carrying the unique stiff cadence of the Insect Clan.

"The Human Race Alliance has strict rules, anyone who replaces the Vice Alliance Hierarch must possess world-shaking power or sky-reaching status, we are very curious."

Its compound eyes ripple slightly, capturing the traces of injury on Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun that cannot be completely concealed.

"This is Jiang Shu."

Zhan Yun’s voice rings out first, as cool as a spring under the moon, not loud, but clear enough to penetrate the noise, pressing the insect envoy’s raspy voice to silence.

"Although he is not a core elder of the War Alliance, he is the foremost merit in our War Alliance’s recent exploration of the Ancient Battle Soul Path Secret Realm."

Her gaze steadily sweeps across the flickering electronic eyes of the Mechanical Divine Envoy and the rotating compound eyes of the insect envoy, the starlight flow of the Star Short Blade in her hand slightly pausing, an invisible pressure from deep within her bloodline pressing down like a rock.

"In our War Alliance, his status is equivalent to that of my brother and me."

"Do you still have any questions, gentlemen?"

A few concise words, indubitable, directly pins Jiang Shu’s position onto the extension of the core will of the War Alliance.

No need for excessive explanation, nor did she refute the other party’s questioning of the "elder" title, but directly elevated it to the position of future leader of the War Alliance.

You have doubts?

Then it’s equivalent to doubting the War Alliance!

Jiang Shu remains seated, his fingertips unconsciously gliding over the smooth curves of the Shui Huan Gloves, deep space dao rhyme rippling out like a ripple, and fading in an instant, his expression unchanged as he nods slightly, "Miss Zhan Yun is too kind."

He raises his gaze, looking at the two probing alien envoys below, a faint indiscernible smile playing at the corners of his mouth, as if responding to the sharp questioning from earlier.

"I am Jiang Shu, just happened to be here by coincidence."

For a moment, the air falls into a brief dead silence.

The Mechanical Divine Envoy’s smooth platinum head turns a precise angle, the scarlet electronic eyes slightly contracting, as if reassessing information weighting.

"I see."

It nods again, its tone still smooth and mellow, but the implicit probing about "unclear data" is completely withdrawn.

"I didn’t expect Jiang Shu to attain such a high position in the War Alliance shortly after joining. To meet such a hero today already brightens our journey."

The conversation is forcibly skewed back onto the path of superficial harmony by it.

"So it’s Jiang Shu, an honor to meet the True Man, worthy of the reputation as the strongest genius of his time."

The Insect Clan envoy nods to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu’s reputation in the cosmos is immense, but not many have actually seen him.

What follows is a dull yet seemingly fervent exchange of courtesies.

Envoys from other major overlord powers also speak one after another, their words either respectful or disdainful, but all centering around some trivial interstellar circumstances or old tales.

The envoy of the Ancient Realm Giant Spirit Clan speaks with a voice like a bell, talking about the new star domain discovered by his clan, rich in minerals.

The generals of the Sky Crystal Divine Domain nonchalantly mention a peculiar crystal ore vein discovered on an Ancient Battlefield, seemingly having a weak resonance with the Space Law.

The leader of the Starry Sky Wanderers, hidden within Space Ripple, throws out a set of star map coordinates, claiming there had been a rampage of abnormally powerful Star Beast Group there...

Every statement is like a stone cast into a deep pool, seemingly stirring up ripples, but beneath the surface, undercurrents are surging, all targeting the area deep within the War Alliance which is sealed with iron and blood.

Zhan Feng, holding the cold handle end of the Daylight Giant Axe, sits back against the chair, his massive body slightly slouched, a lazy and almost scoffing expression on his face, but his gaze is as sharp as a polished blade, sweeping back and forth over those apparently bustling faces engaged in pleasantries below.

When the envoy of the Ancient Realm Giant Spirit Clan hints indirectly for the third time that "I heard some mineral planets under the War Alliance seem recently unstable, causing delays in resource circulation, is something happening, as allies, if you need help, just say so," Zhan Feng finally lets out a light chuckle from his nose.

Finally, they couldn’t help it.

Jiang Shu remains sitting, seemingly listening, his gaze settling somewhere in the void, as calm as an unruffled pool.

He is familiarizing himself with his newly acquired Venerable Level Star Artifact.

Occasionally, the fingertips of his right hand, wearing the Shui Huan Gloves, would curl slightly, the faint ripple of space being invisibly amplified, just enough to silently twist and crush the spiritual power probes sent from certain directions.

Even though he hasn’t fully comprehended the Space Law, with the Shui Huan, his combat strength is already infinitely close to that of a Venerable.

Just waiting for the War Alliance affairs to be concluded, he can immediately enter seclusion to choose to break through!
