Chapter 2606: Right Behind You

With a flip of Jian Chen’s hand, a fist-sized, blue divine hall appeared.

The divine hall was the Watercloud Hall.

With a single thought, its door slowly opened. As if an invisible force had appeared from inside, the Space Rings in Jian Chen’s hands were all sucked in there.

“Immortal Devouring Orchid, just cultivate in the Watercloud Hall for the next period of time. If there are any problems, you can contact the artifact spirit of the divine hall,” Jian Chen said to the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

The pretty petals of the Immortal Devouring Orchid swayed gently, as if it was nodding at Jian Chen. After nudging Jian Chen with great attachment, it entered the Watercloud Hall and vanished.

Jian Chen stowed away the Watercloud Hall. It would be up to the Immortal Devouring Orchid now to see just what level it could reach.

He did not worry about the Immortal Devouring Orchid being unable to use Space Rings at all, as the Immortal Devouring Orchid had already developed intelligence no less than humans. Aside from its innate restrictions, making it unable to assume a humanoid form and speak, it was no different from a human. It even outdid humans in certain aspects. Opening a Space Ring was a piece of cake for it.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid hovered in the Watercloud Hall. As it had only just reached the Primordial realm, it was unable to conceal all of its energy, so the power and pressure of the Primordial realm would radiate from it.

Space Rings lay quietly on the ground before it.

Suddenly, the tendrils of the Immortal Devouring Orchid began to grow. Several dozen tendrils became dozens of meters long in a split second, wrapping around the Space Rings.

In the next moment, the Space Rings were all opened and corpses flew out, piling up in the Watercloud Hall.

Looking at the corpses, the Immortal Devouring Orchid could not help but begin shaking. It was filled with excitement.

“Flower, master said that you should start absorbing the weakest first.” At this moment, a cold voice rang out in the hall. It came from the artifact spirit of the Watercloud Hall.

“I understand. Thank you for master’s bestowment,” the Immortal Devouring Orchid replied. Of course, it could not speak, so it communicated with mental pulses.

……

…

At the same time, the ancestor of the Godsfallen clan, Luo Mantian, stood with the ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Emergence, He Yidao, with sunken faces on a mountain in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance. They stared in the direction of the Godsfallen clan and Daoist Sect of Emergence through the most powerful formations of the Four Symbols Alliance. Killing intent filled their faces.

As Grand Primes, they could observe the entire plane with a single thought. They naturally witnessed the destruction of the Godsfallen clan and the Daoist Sect of Emergence, but there was nothing that they could do. As a result, they just remained hidden here like cowards, watching their powerful and once-glorious sect and clan that had existed for a million years be destroyed.

“Tong family, Firegod clan, Cosmic sect, there will be a day when I, Luo Mantian, will make you regret your actions,” Luo Mantian said through gritted teeth. It was impossible for him not to feel pained over the destruction of something he had worked on for a million years.

Even though they could rebuild it, returning to their past glory would take an extremely long time.

“Don’t worry. The young star lord is on our side. We will have our revenge sooner or later.” He Yidao growled.

“Tsktsk, I wouldn’t say that you can blame others. After all, the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak almost died to your hands.” Changfeng Yun’s voice rang out. He was a middle-aged man in violet robes. He slowly made his way over from the distance.

“I’m talking about you in particular, Luo Mantian. Your dagger really was extraordinary. It’s imbued with the Laws of Curses from a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand prime at the very least. Fortunately, the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak was at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer, so he could hold his ground against the curse. If it were any other Second Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, it wouldn’t take them very long before they die to the curse,” said Changfeng Yun as he smiled faintly.

Even though his smile was nothing special, it seemed like a sneer, a scoff in Luo Mantian and He Yidao’s eyes.

After all, they were traitors. They had even launched a sneak attack on the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak who trusted them dearly. Their actions were despicable from a moral sense.

“Changfeng Yun, you better watch your mouth. I don’t mind fighting you here,” Luo Mantian immediately replied coldly.

“This is the territory of our Four Symbols Alliance. Are you certain you want to fight me here?” Chengfeng Yun chuckled. He did not take Luo Mantian seriously at all.

The Righteous Alliance and the Four Symbols Alliance had opposed each other for so many years. Their grievances were already established. It was impossible for them to reconcile so easily. Even though Luo Mantian had already joined them, and they now fought on the same front, it was very difficult for them to completely get along with each other.

“Enough. Changfeng Yun, it’s not the time to create internal conflict. Breeze Cloud wants us to go to the Longevity Hall and discuss how we should deal with the future.” Gong Ji arrived as well and stopped the argument between Changfeng Yun and Luo Mantian.

Very soon, the four remaining Grand Primes of the Four Symbols Alliance and the traitors of the Righteous Alliance gathered together. They discussed how they should face their current predicament.

“Gong Ji, has there been anything from the young star lord yet? It’s impossible for us to deal with our current situation ourselves. We can only rely on the young star lord to send some experts from the Star Brilliance Plane,” the Gentle Breeze Ancestor asked with furrowed brows during the meeting.

Gong Ji shook her head. “I’ve asked the young star lord many times for help, for him to call over from experts from the Star Brilliance Plane, but the young star lord has never given me a straightforward ancestor. I- it seems like it’s a painful subject for him.”

“Gong Ji, Wu Lu, you two are solely responsible for the situation we’re currently in, including Zheng Hu’s death. Tell us what we should do now. Once the Martial Soul lineage and Righteous Alliance attacks us, we won’t be able to last for very long with our formation alone. Once the formation shatters, our Four Symbols Alliance will suffer the same fate as the Godsfallen clan, Heavenquaking sect, and Daoist Sect of Emergence. We will truly be erased from the Cloud Plane,” Changfeng Yun said sternly.

“You can’t blame us for this. Who would’ve thought the Martial Soul lineage would suddenly appear, and who would’ve known that the Martial Soul lineage would not be afraid of the young star lord and openly oppose us,” Gong Ji said emotionlessly.

Quite a large argument happened during the meeting. As for the young star lord who remained in his luxurious residence, his face was completely sunken as well. He was in a horrible mood.

“Martial Soul lineage. Hmph, once the training ends, I’ll ask my foster father to personally take action and make you pay the price.” The young star lord clenched his fists tightly, as he was utterly furious.

The plan this time should have been perfectly flawless. Jian Chen should have been done for. However, the Martial Soul lineage’s appearance had completely reversed the situation, making him suffer a crushing defeat when he was on the verge of victory. As a result, he utterly hated the Martial Soul lineage now.

“Why are you so angry, young star lord?” At this moment, a voice rang out in the empty hall.

“Who is it? Come out!” The young star lord’s face sank. He looked around and failed to see anyone at all. He could not find the origins of the voice either.

“I’m right behind you!”
