Chapter 415 Sky dragon alliance
In the Earth province, there were numerous small and big cities but the most prominent and prestigious one among them was the Jade harmony city.
The city stretched across hundreds of kilometers. There were towering buildings and bustling crowd everywhere.
In the past few days, the Jade harmony city was getting more crowded. Powerful cultivators from the different corners of the Central land were gathering at the Jade harmony city at this moment.
The reason for such choas and excitement was related to the ongoing fight in the Yellow stone city. There was news that devils were surging in number and every power most combine their forces to counter the devils' invasion.
The imperial Xie family took the lead and all the major powers agreed to combine their forces for fighting devils. Even the most reclusive and mysterious Spirit palace had agreed to send their experts. So, there was no reason for any power to deny the proposal of the imperial family.
Representatives of all the powers met in the Dragon province and decided to form an alliance to fight the devils. It was the Spirit palace who had come up with the name of an alliance. All the powers in the Central land had respect and reverence towards the Spirit palace. So, they agreed to adopt the name proposed by the Spirit palace. The name that was given to to the newly formed alliance was 'Sky dragon alliance'. It was a lofty name which intended to invoke courage and fighting spirit among the cultivators.
All the powers discussed about the location of the headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance and by mutual consent, it was decided that headquarter of the Sky dragon alliance would be established in the Jade harmony city.
All the sects agreed to establish Xie emperor as the nominal head. Thus, it fell upon the imperial family to shape the Sky dragon alliance which was at an embryonic stage at this moment.
In a secluded courtyard, inside the City lord's residence, a secret metting was being held at this moment. There were several powerful experts present inside the courtyard but all of them had a look of respect on their faces as they looked towards the person sitting on the Jade throne.
"Tell me, what is the result? Has they agreed to the proposal of my imperial family?", the enchanting woman sitting on the jade throne asked. Her voice was soft and melodious but a tense expression appeared on the faced of the experts who were standing infront of her.
The enchanting woman who sit infront of them was the second princess, Xie Lanying from the imperial Xie family. Everyone took her as the most beautiful woman of the Central land but most the cultivators didn't know that she was the most clever and ablest heir of the imperial Xie family.
This time, to manage the establishment of the Sky dragon alliance, the imperial family has sent her to the Jade harmony city. Her mission was to help the third prince who was the official representative of the imperial Xie family.
"Second princess, please forgive us. Despite doing our best, we couldn't manage to persuade them", two experts clad in azure armour replied. They lowered their heads as if they were afraid to look at the second princess.
"No need to feel dissatisfied. The result is within my expectation. Instead I would have feel surprised, if they have agreed to our demands in the first meeting", Xie Lanying spoke. Her voice was soothing and melodious but none could see her expression. The thin veil she was wearing on her head was obstructing everyone from seeing her true expression.
"Tell me, who among the major powers are causing trouble?", she proceeded to ask again. Her voice was extremely neutral. So, none could tell whether she was calm, angry or irritated.
"Princess, it is the Heavenly sword sect, Huo clan, Sunmoon sect and the Ghostfire sect who are causing trouble. Few more powers are causing trouble but they are not worth mentioning", an expert in azure armour replied.
"Okay, you may leave first. I will talk with my third brother", Xie Lanying spoke. The gathered experts bowed towards her before leaving the secluded courtyard. A look of contemplation appeared on Xie Lanying's face after she sent away all the experts.
"Young miss, what are you thinking?", a melodious voice interrupted her thoughts. Xie Lanying turned to her side and saw Zhou Xiaoling entering from a side entrance.
"Xiaoling", a faint smiled appeared on the face of Xie Lanying after she saw Zhou Xiaoling. Her indifferent expression turned warm after she saw the graceful woman infront of her.
"How is your seclusion?", Xie Lanying asked to the graceful woman. She spread her soul consciousness and took a look at Zhou Xiaoling.
"Young miss, I have been preparing for a while. I am fortunate enough to have a breakthrough last night. I am now a sixth stage Martial ascension realm cultivator", Zhou Xiaoling replied.
"Congratulation", Xie Lanying softly spoke.
"Young miss, how many days are you going to stay this time?", Zhou Xiaoling asked. She was feeling really happy after seeing Xie Lanying in the Jade harmony city.
"Actually, I am not planning to come to the Jade harmony city this time. There is competetion for the throne and the matter of opening of the Archaic palace. But I still volunteered myself because I want to see a certain young man", Xie Lanying spoke. There was a look of interest on her face when she thought about the person she often dreamed about.
"Young miss, may I inquire, whom do you want to meet?", Zhou Xiaoling asked with slight reservation. It was rare for the second princess to have an interest towards a person in the Central land. No matter how talented the young cultivators were, second princess generally only have disdain towards them.
Zhou Xiaoling could remember few words which Xie Lanying had spoke to her in the past. "Xiaoling, work hard. Don't think you have acheived anything just because you have managed to reach the Core condensation realm at your age. We are only frogs inside a barren land. There are countless geniuses outside who may have reached Emperor realm at our age".
Zhou Xiaoling thus understand why none of the talents could enter the eyes of her young miss, it was because all of them were frogs in the well while inside the Northern desert continent. If someone was considered talented, it only meant that he was only a more talented from among the other frogs who were ignorant about the vast cultivation world. Zhou Xiaoling understood her young miss well. So, she was curious to know who among the young talents manage to catch the interest of the second princess.
