Tens of thousands of miles away from the Asura Mountain Range, there was a group of buildings with a strange appearance and a simple and unadorned aura. This was the Traceless Gate, a power that had existed in the Eastern Region for thousands of years. It was publicly acknowledged as one of the three strongest powers in the Eastern Region.
The Traceless Gate had tens of thousands of members. Although many of them were weak, and many of them were at the same level as Wu Zun, no one dared to doubt the Traceless Gate's strength. However, no one dared to doubt the strength of the Traceless Gate, because the Traceless Gate was not like the other medium-sized forces that only had one Battle King expert.
In the Traceless Gate, apart from the Traceless Gate Master who had already reached the high-level Combat King realm, there were also four great guardians. These four great guardians had also reached the Combat King realm, and two of them had even reached the mid-level Combat King realm. Therefore, in this region, the Traceless Gate was the fully deserving overlord.
At this moment, in the square of the Traceless Gate, a luxurious banquet was being held. The banquet was packed to the brim, and it was extremely lively.
The honored guests of the Traceless Gate's banquet were the leaders of the various forces in the Eastern Domain. Some of these people were even from the forces near the Asura Mountain Range. However, at this moment, they didn't attend the execution banquet. Instead, they came here.
"I heard that some time ago, the banquet held by the Asura Palace, the new power, was extremely cold. Hahaha … "
"Hahaha, it's just a new power, yet it dares to put on airs in front of us. It's simply asking to be humiliated."
"I also heard that the Asura Palace's Palace Master is just a kid who's still wet behind the ears. I really have no idea where he got the courage to hold a banquet in front of us with such great fanfare."
At this moment, in the main seats of the banquet, the leaders of a few major powers were discussing the Asura Palace's banquet. Their words were filled with ridicule. Obviously, they didn't put the Asura Palace in their eyes at all. However, they were also indirectly flattering the Traceless Gate.
"Sigh ~ Don't say that. Since the Asura Palace was able to kill the leader of Flame City and seize the Celestial Peak Mountain Range from the other five major powers, which is the current Asura Mountain Range, it shows that their strength is not to be underestimated."
"However, the five major powers are actually willing to help the Asura Palace by inviting us. Moreover, they are clearly aware that the Asura Palace is trying to recruit us, yet they are still willing to attend the banquet. This indirectly shows that the five major powers have acknowledged the Asura Palace's strength, and are determined to side with them."
At this moment, an old man with a head full of yellow hair and a deep scar on his forehead stroked his yellow beard and said with a faint smile.
Moreover, this old man actually possessed the strength of a mid-level Combat King. He was the Sect Master of the Yellow Wind Sect, a rather resounding force in the eastern region. In this area, he was also a reputable figure.
"Cult Leader Huang, it seems like you really like the Asura Palace?"
At this moment, Gate Master Traceless, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Cult Leader Huang with narrowed eyes. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled upwards, revealing a sinister aura that made others feel uneasy.
"I'm just stating the facts. At the same time, I hope that Gate Master Traceless won't look down on the Asura Palace." However, Cult Leader Huang merely smiled in response to Gate Master Traceless' threatening words and calmly replied.
Bang!
However, just as Cult Leader Huang's words left his mouth, Gate Master Traceless abruptly stood up. At the same time, the strength of a high-level Combat King erupted from him without any restraint. The tyrannical power instantly shattered the surrounding stone tables and chairs, turning them into dust.
At this moment, everyone present had nervous expressions on their faces. Gate Master Traceless was famous for his ruthlessness. Although he was usually cheerful and appeared to be calm, everyone knew that he was a typical smiling tiger.
However, everyone knew that he was a typical smiling tiger, and they had to be extremely cautious when interacting with him. If a single word touched on his taboo, then a great calamity would definitely befall them.
Clearly, Cult Leader Huang had touched on Gate Master Traceless' taboo today. However, unlike everyone else, Cult Leader Huang didn't have the slightest hint of fear on his face when he looked at the furious Gate Master Traceless. He still maintained that calm smile on his face.
Although the Yellow Wind Sect had always kept a low profile, there was no need to doubt its strength. If the strength of a Combat King was excluded, the Yellow Wind Sect's strength was even above that of the Traceless Gate. And it was precisely because of this. The Yellow Wind Sect had long become a thorn in the Traceless Gate's flesh, and they couldn't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible.
However, the disciples of the Yellow Wind Sect were extremely loyal to Cult Leader Huang. If something were to happen to Cult Leader Huang, they wouldn't be able to continue living.
Furthermore, Cult Leader Huang had a good relationship with others. Many of the leaders of the powers in this region had extremely good relationships with the owner of the Yellow Wind Sect. They had always maintained a united front.
The reason why the Traceless Gate had been unable to unify this region for so long was also because of the Yellow Wind Sect. Gate Master Traceless had wanted to take the risk of greatly reducing the overall strength of this region to eradicate the Yellow Wind Sect in order to unify this region. However, he had been strongly dissuaded by the Protectors.
The reason for that was because, in the Eastern Region, other than the Traceless Gate, there were two other powers that had already unified half of the Eastern Region, the Soaring Tiger Hall and the Sunset Cloud Valley.
In terms of true strength, the Soaring Tiger Hall and the Sunset Cloud Valley were both above the Traceless Gate. Furthermore, both of them were eyeing this region covetously.
If it weren't for the fact that they had to take into consideration the overall strength of this region, as well as the obstruction from the other side, they would've already extended their hands into this region. The reason for that was because those two powers' goal was not only to become the ruler of a region. Instead, they wanted to dominate the entire Eastern Region.
Thus, no matter how displeased the Traceless Gate was with the Yellow Wind Sect, they did not dare to take any excessive actions. They could only lure them with benefits, and did not dare to attack them by force.
"Cult Leader Huang, it would appear that you intend to join the Asura Palace. If it wasn't for the fact that the Asura Palace did not send you an invitation, you would've joined the Asura Palace long ago, and not be sitting here with me, right?"
Gate Master Traceless' eyes were like torches. Sharp killing intent had already gathered around his body. At that moment, everyone was able to sense that Gate Master Traceless was truly furious. Some of the people that were on good terms with Cult Leader Huang were casting meaningful glances at him nonstop, hinting for him to compromise.
"Gate Master Traceless, I have come here today to give you face. However, I hope that you can speak with some respect."
"My Yellow Wind Sect does not belong to any power, nor do we need to be controlled by any power. Not to mention the fact that I have never thought of joining any power, even if I did, it would not be up to you to control me."
However, to the crowd's surprise, not only was Cult Leader Huang not afraid in the slightest, he was actually singing a different tune from Gate Master Traceless.
"Good! Good! Good! Yellow Wind Sect!"
"All these years, I've tried my best to persuade you to merge with the other powers and work together for the sake of hegemony. However, you've always ignored me, using the excuse that you have no intention of fighting for power as an excuse. And here I thought that you're someone that's aloof from worldly pursuits, unwilling to fight for fame and fortune. "
"Today, I finally understand that it's not that you're aloof from worldly pursuits. You just think that my Traceless Sect is not strong enough."
"And now, you're tempted by the Asura Palace's arrival?"
"Today, I'll let you know exactly who's the boss in this region, and the consequences of those that don't obey me!" Finally, after hearing Cult Leader Huang's words, Gate Master Traceless could no longer hold back the rage in his heart, and completely exploded. His words were so sharp that it seemed like he would attack at any moment.
"Gate Master Traceless, please calm down. Gate Master Traceless, please calm down. Cult Leader Huang has no intention of joining the Asura Palace, and the fact that he's here shows that he thinks highly of the Traceless Sect. "
In response, the leaders of the powers that had friendly relations with the Yellow Wind Sect hurriedly walked over to Cult Leader Huang's side and began to speak up for him.
Although they were all afraid of the Traceless Sect's might, they would not disregard their former friendship and allow Gate Master Traceless to attack Cult Leader Huang.
"Are you all planning to join hands against me?!"
Looking at the leaders standing beside Cult Leader Huang, Gate Master Traceless shouted loudly. However, it was very clear that he was hesitating. He had yet to make a decision. If he were to truly touch the Yellow Wind Sect, it would mean that the overall strength of this region would be greatly reduced.
At that time, even if he were to unify this region, it would only be for a short period of time. It was very possible that he would be targeted by the Soaring Tiger Sect and the Sunset Cloud Valley. At that time, the situation would become even more disadvantageous to him.
"What a lively scene. It would appear that I've come at the right time."
Right at that moment, an explosive shout suddenly sounded out from the sky without any warning. That voice was like a bolt from the blue. After it completely drowned out the whispers of the crowd, it still echoed in the sky.
When this voice rang out, everyone present was startled. Then, they turned their gazes to the surroundings in unison.
"Who is it?!"
When his voice rang out, the Traceless Gate Master also roared. He was able to sense that the owner of that voice earlier was most definitely a Battle-King expert. Furthermore, all of the people that he had invited were present. As such, the uninvited guests that had suddenly appeared likely did not come with good intentions.
"Buzz ~ ~ ~ ~"
Right at that moment, the space at the end of the banquet suddenly wiggled. Then, under the astonished and complicated gazes of the crowd, four figures slowly walked out.
Among the four of them was a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous armor. This middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, and gave off an unfathomable feeling.
As for the other two, everyone present was even more astonished. They were actually two well-built Magical Beasts. Although they couldn't tell exactly what kind of Magical Beasts they were, they knew that Magical Beasts that could transform into a half-human half-beast form were at least at the Battle-King level.
However, what shocked everyone the most was that the leader of the four was actually a delicate and handsome young man. He wore a black robe that fluttered without any wind. That seemingly ordinary robe was covered by a layer of black energy armor. The patterns on the energy armor were incomparably gorgeous, and gave off an indestructible feeling.
However, the most unsettling thing was that not only did the appearance of these four people come without any warning, they even managed to hide from everyone's eyes. Furthermore, even after appearing, they were unable to see through their strength. The most frightening thing wasn't an expert that understood their strength, but an expert that was unable to see through their true strength.
"Who are you people?"
Looking at the four people before him, Gate Master Traceless slightly furrowed his brows. After carefully sizing them up and confirming that he really didn't know who they were, he asked in an indifferent tone.
"I am the Asura Palace's Palace Master, Xing Jue." Looking at Gate Master Traceless' slightly panicked gaze, Xing Jue revealed a faint smile.
When everyone present heard Xing Jue's words, they instantly turned silent. However, a brief moment later, an uproar broke out. At this moment, they were truly shocked.
