"With your cultivation speed, I'm afraid it won't be long before you surpass me. By then, even if I wanted to help you, I might not have the chance."
Speaking of this, the Moon Maiden was clearly a little disappointed. She admired Ling Xiao's aptitude, but on the other hand, she felt that it was a pity. Once she could not protect Ling Xiao, what was the point of staying by Ling Xiao's side?
"Don't think too much, Sister Moon Maiden. If you protect me now, I'll protect you in the future. Moreover, Sister Moon Maiden's strength has not recovered to its peak, right? It'll be very difficult for me to catch up to you."
Ling Xiao gently pinched the Moon Maiden's fair hand and comforted her.
Of course, he knew what the Moon Maiden was thinking.
He just wanted to tell the Moon Maiden that there was no point in letting her imagination run wild. The woman that Ling Xiao had set his mind on could not be changed in this lifetime.
Unless the woman left him on her own accord.
…
In the spacious and luxurious hall, it was crowded with people. As the Heavenly Reason Alliance's secret activity venue in Langton City, this place should be quieter and more secretive.
However, it seemed that this was not the case.
The atmosphere here today was very lively and jubilant, as if something joyous was about to happen.
Upon closer inspection, the people sitting in the hall were all influential figures from all over the world.
There were leaders of various resistance organizations on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
There were emissaries from various countries on the Divine Phoenix Continent.
There were even representatives from the Five Immortal Islands.
These people did not gather here to play. They all had a common goal, and that was to befriend Gao Yangwen, the Alliance Master of the Heavenly Reason Alliance.
Now that the Heavenly Reason Alliance's power was growing, the various resistance forces on the Heavenly Dragon Continent had been annexed and incorporated by him, as if he wanted to conquer the world.
Although Gao Yangwen seemed to be subservient to the True Demons Empire and was willing to be their puppet, this guy was actually very ambitious.
He wanted to become the king of the Heavenly Dragon Continent and be on equal footing with the True Demons Empire. Then, the first thing he had to deal with was the trouble of Northern Han.
Today's gathering was the meeting where he officially became the Alliance Master of the Resistance Alliance, so it was naturally jubilant.
On the surface, the Defender Alliance was targeting the True Devil Empire. However, interestingly, Gao Yangwen's established strategy was to first destroy the State of Northern Han and divide the world with the True Devil Empire.
Sitting at the head of the table was Gao Yangwen.
Although he was already sixty or seventy years old, this age was still considered the prime of life for a martial artist.
His robe, which was made of precious materials, made him look very majestic.
He sat there and cupped his hands in greeting to the guests, obviously enjoying the feeling of being praised to the heavens.
From time to time, a complacent smile would flash across his face. To be able to reach this point, he had to thank the True Devil Imperial Country.
If it weren't for the True Devil Empire destroying the Sacred Dynasty, his Heavenly Truth Alliance would only be able to make a small fuss.
Of course, he wouldn't really thank the True Devil Empire. After all, to him, this was just a mutual benefit.
He used the True Devil Empire to deal with the Sacred Dynasty, while the True Devil Empire used him to restrain Northern Han.
"Black Water Fairy Island's special envoy, Lord Zhan Mo, has arrived!"
Outside the door, a voice suddenly sounded, causing the noisy hall to suddenly quiet down.
The Black Water Immortal Island was a powerful existence among the Five Immortal Islands, and was also where Gao Yangwen's master was.
Generally speaking, the Five Immortal Islands wouldn't send people to this kind of worldly conflict. However, the Black Water Immortal Island had a special relationship with Gao Yangwen, so they naturally sent a special envoy.
Although the strength of this special envoy, Zhan Mo, was only at the Late Stage of the First Grotto Heaven Realm, the power he represented was incomparably terrifying.
At the very least, in the Divine Phoenix Continent and the Heavenly Dragon Continent, unless someone was crazy, no one would be willing to provoke them.
With the support of the Black Water Immortal Island, Gao Yangwen's position as the Alliance Master of the Resistance Alliance became more secure. Even the True Devil Empire couldn't do anything to him, let alone the small State of Northern Han.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Gao Yangwen, long time no see. Today, I've come under the orders of my master to congratulate you. Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Zhan Mo came alone, but the clothes he was wearing had the symbol of the Black Water Immortal Island, so he couldn't be looked down upon.
Moreover, his cultivation wasn't low. Apart from Gao Yangwen and a few others, there really wasn't anyone stronger than him at the Late Stage of the First Grotto Heaven Realm.
"Junior Brother Zhan, just come. There's no need to bring gifts. Please come in and have a seat of honor!"
Gao Yangwen directly pulled Zhan Mo's hand and had him sit beside him.
Although his relationship with Zhan Mo wasn't that good when he was at the Black Water Immortal Island, today, in front of so many people, he still had to put on a show of brotherly affection.
A moment later, another voice came from outside.
"Northern Han's Special Envoy, Ling Wuhen, has arrived!"
Ling Wuhen?
Hearing this name, the corner of Gao Yangwen's mouth raised into a smug smile.
Ling Wuhen was a key figure in the Heaven's Choice Academy. Although his cultivation wasn't very good, his relationship with Ling Xiao was very good.
Moreover, his status was also very high.
Today, Ling Wuhen actually appeared here. Did that mean that Northern Han was prepared to admit defeat?
Hehe, admitting defeat is useless. If I don't destroy your Northern Han, how can I, Gao Yangwen, be at ease?
Although Gao Yangwen was thinking this, he still let Ling Wuhen in.
Since he was going to destroy Northern Han, he might as well use this Ling Wuhen as a sacrifice.
"Greetings to the Alliance Head of the Tianli Union. Congratulations."
Ling Wuhen didn't come alone. Beside him was an old man, Ling Xiao's master, Grandmaster Baiyun.
"I really didn't expect that Mister Ling would actually be willing to come to my place. Your presence brings light to my humble cottage."
Gao Yangwen said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He cupped his hands and casually arranged for Ling Wuhen and Grandmaster Baiyun to sit down in an inconspicuous position.
After all, it was just something to be used as a sacrifice. It wasn't worthwhile to care so much about it.
In any case, those who came were all reputable figures. Moreover, they were also very important to Gao Yangwen.
However, Gao Yangwen's son, Gao Yangjun, was nowhere to be seen.
Of the people in the hall, those who should have come had basically all come. However, no one noticed that on the eaves of this hidden place, there were two people squatting there, carefully observing every movement in the hall.
"I didn't expect that even Second Master Ling and my master, Grandmaster Baiyun, would come. Aren't they just like sheep entering the tiger's den?"
Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.
"Don't blame them. After all, they don't understand this Gao Yangwen. In their opinion, if they want to overthrow the True Demon Empire, they must cooperate with Gao Yangwen's Tianli Union."
The Moon Maiden explained, "Look at their resolute faces. They clearly knew that it was dangerous, yet they still came. If their deaths can wake up those sleeping people in Northern Han, it can be considered pretty good."
