Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1161: Chapter 622: Faction Visits! Veiled Confrontations! (2)

There are also Starry Sky Wanderers wrapped entirely in space ripples, seemingly pieced together from pure space fragments, and Heavenly Crystal Divine Generals with bodies like crystal, containing the violent power of a star explosion.

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

The main seat at the top of the hall, originally meant for Zhan Jiuxiao, was vacantly suspended at this moment.

Jiang Shu sat upright at the first seat to the lower left of the main position, dressed in dark blue strong attire.

The Dark Gold Shattered World Gloves bestowed by the Supreme Elder were flowing with wave-like halos between his fingers and palms, perfectly collecting all exposed aura.

His expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over the faces below, each harboring their own thoughts, yet the depths of his eyes were like an unruffled deep sea, reflecting no emotions.

On the left was Zhan Feng, whose massive physique rested on one arm holding a Furious Tide Giant Axe, magnified several times, with blood light and bronze Evil Qi twining like living entities.

He sat in a somewhat unruly manner, with the laziness of someone just recovering from serious injuries. The newly acquired Star Artifact Axe casually leaned against his shoulder, its heavy sharpness silently cutting through probing auras that came close. Occasionally, a red light would flash from the blood dragon totem on the axe, a faint archaic roar echoing around him.

On the right was Zhan Yun, who had donned a Silver Frost Soft Armor. Her cold face appeared somewhat pale under the dim light, though her composure remained completely undiminished.

The Vast Sea Tide Sound Star Pendant on her slender neck shimmered with the deep blue micro-glow of the Sea Abyss, strands of soft power brushing over her skin, silently soothing the scorching pain from the hideous wound under her ribs.

Her fingertips lightly rested on the Star Short Blade laid across her knees, the blade surface’s symbols flickering uncertainly, quietly calming the chaotic force field around her.

The positions of Jiang Shu and the two others subtly formed an invisible line, dividing the solemn and austere great hall into inside and outside.

"Young Alliance Master of the War Alliance, Miss Zhan Yun, it’s been a long time. You remain as exceptionally talented as ever, truly enviable."

From the left upper seat, a Mechanical Divine Envoy, its entire body covered in a platinum streamline armor, spoke first. Its voice module simulated a gentle and rich male voice, devoid of any mechanical harshness, instead pleasant like warm sunlight glazing over jade.

Scarlet optical pupils flickered with micro-light from high-speed calculations, precisely scanning the vital signs and energy fluctuations of the three opposite, pausing for a moment especially on Jiang Shu, streams of data silently passing through the depths of its eyes.

"The Vice Alliance Hierarch is busy with daily affairs. With two core geniuses to welcome us, it fully demonstrates your alliance’s sincerity."

It nodded slightly, movements smooth without the slightest hint of human joint stiffness, gazing at Jiang Shu, a look of curiosity no different from that of the Human Clan in its eyes.

"However, this gentleman... Forgive my lack of perception; the records seem a bit vague?"

"May I know which new core Elder of the War Alliance you are, to be seated alongside the Young Alliance Master?"

Words were gentle and polite, even carrying just the right amount of flattery, yet the meaning behind the words "core Elder" was as sharp as a needle.

What qualifies you to represent the War Alliance?

This was a deliberate targeting of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu who had confronted a Mechanical Mother’s avatar head-on in the Deep Space Sea, who, not long ago, had been accused along with the Mechanical Mother and the War Alliance of orchestrating the massacre of Cosmic talents by the Doomsday Sect. These Mechanical Clan members definitely could not fail to recognize Jiang Shu.

Another Personal Guard Envoy under the Insect Emperor joined in, its mouthparts opening and closing in the area of its face covered with Seven-Colored Armor, emitting a rustling sound like leaves being rubbed together, transformed into human language by some power, with the distinct rigid fluctuations of the Insect Clan in its tone.

"The Human Race War Alliance has strict rules. Those who can replace the Vice Alliance Hierarch on high must have earth-shattering power or a heaven-reaching status. We are very curious."

Its compound eyes flickered slightly, capturing Zhan Feng’s and Zhan Yun’s injuries that could not be fully concealed.

"This is Jiang Shu."

Zhan Yun’s voice spoke up first, cold as an icy spring under the moon, not loud but piercing through the noise, suppressing the insect envoy’s raspy tonality.

"Though he is not a core Elder in our War Alliance, he is the chief merit winner in our War Alliance’s recent final exploration of the Ancient Battle Soul Path Secret Realm."

Her gaze calmly swept over the flickering electronic eyes of the Mechanical Divine Envoy and the rotating compound eyes of the insect envoy, the starlight flowing on the Star Short Blade in her hand paused slightly, an invisible pressure from the depths of her bloodline pressing down like a boulder.

"In our War Alliance, his status is equivalent to mine and my brother’s."

"Do any of you have further questions?"

In just a few short sentences, she firmly established Jiang Shu’s position as an extension of the core willpower of the War Alliance, not open to doubt.

No redundant explanations were needed, nor was there any rebuttal to the "Elder" status question, instead directly elevating him to the position of the future leader of the War Alliance.

You question him?

That would be questioning the War Alliance!

Jiang Shu remained seated, his fingertips unconsciously brushing over the smooth surface of the Shui Huan Gloves, the deep Space Dao Rhyme rippling out like waves and then quickly vanishing, his expression unchanged, nodding slightly: "Miss Zhan Yun overstates."

His gaze lifted, looking towards the probing Alien Race envoys below, a faint vague curve at the corner of his mouth like a response to the sharp questioning earlier.

"I am Jiang Shu, just at the right place at the right time."

The air fell into a moment of brief silence.

The Mechanical Divine Envoy’s smooth platinum head turned at a precise angle, its scarlet electronic eyes subtly contracted as if reevaluating information weight.

"I see."

It nodded once again, its tone still gentle and smooth, though the hidden inquiry of "vague records" was completely withdrawn.

"Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu had just joined the War Alliance not long ago and had already attained such a high position. To meet such a hero today is a great honor for us."

The conversation was forcefully steered back to surface harmony by it.

"Ah, it is Jiang Shu, to see you today, a True Man indeed worthy of the title of the strongest genius of our time."

The Insect Clan Personal Guard nodded at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu’s fame across the cosmos was enormous, though few had actually met him.

Subsequently came the seemingly enthusiastic yet dull exchange of courtesies.

The envoys of other major overlord forces also spoke up one after another, their words either polite or arrogant, but all revolved around trivial interstellar situations or aged anecdotes.

The envoy of the Ancient Realm Giant Spirit Clan had a voice like a great bell, talking about how their newly developed Star Domain was rich in mineral resources.

The general of the Sky Crystal Divine Domain lightly mentioned a peculiar crystal vein discovered on some Ancient Battlefield that seemed to have a weak resonance with Space Law.

The leader of the Starry Sky Wanderers, hidden within space ripples, offered up a set of Star Map coordinates, claiming that an abnormally powerful Star Beast Group had previously rioted there...

Every sentence was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, seemingly stirring the surface but with undercurrents surging beneath, all targeting the area within the War Alliance’s depths sealed off by iron and blood.

Zhan Feng steadied the end of the Daylight Giant Axe’s cold handle, his towering body slightly leaning back against the chair, a hint of laziness, a nearly mocking smile at the corner of his lips, but his gaze as sharp as the honed blade skimming over the seemingly lively faces below engaged in small talk.

When the envoy of the Ancient Realm Giant Spirit suggested for the third time, in a roundabout way, "I hear that some resource planets under the War Alliance’s command have been unstable lately, causing resource flow delays. Has something happened? We are allies; if you need my help, just say the word," Zhan Feng finally let out an extremely slight snort from his nose.

They finally lost their patience.

Jiang Shu remained seated as though he was listening, his gaze resting in some part of the Void, placid without any ripples.

He was familiarizing himself with the recently acquired Venerable Level Star Artifact.

His right hand, wearing the Shui Huan Gloves, occasionally curled his fingers very subtly, minute space ripples amplifying invisibly, perfectly distorting and crushing probing spiritual power from certain directions.

Though he had not fully comprehended Space Law, with the Shui Huan, his combat power was already infinitely close to a Venerable Level.

Just waiting for the War Alliance affairs to conclude, he could immediately retreat and choose to breakthrough!
