"Ling Yun Tower is here!" Just as everyone was feeling suspicious about the people behind Dao Hun and Dao Xin, a voice was heard.
Then, a group of people appeared in front of everyone. They were dressed in long dresses and looked like a group of butterflies in the wind. They attracted the attention of almost all the disciples from the other sects.
Qian Yu, who was wearing a silver-white dress, was at the front of the group. She didn't cover her face with a white veil and looked calm. However, her exquisite facial features were like a painting.
Ping Yang, who was wearing a red dress, and a few other disciples of Ling Yun Tower who were wearing dresses of different colors were standing beside Qian Yu.
"It's Ling Yun Tower!"
"Four out of the five sects of the Holy Region have arrived. Only Nine Pinnacles Mountain is left!"
"That's weird. Even the people from Ling Yun Tower are here. Why is Nine Pinnacles Mountain so slow?"
When some of the smaller sects saw Ling Yun Tower's team, they naturally made way for them. However, at the same time, they were a little suspicious.
However, this wasn't important. Sometimes, it was unavoidable that they were delayed by some matters within the sects.
"Leader Qian Ye, thank you for your hard work!" A disciple who was in charge of receiving the guests from Heaven Dao Pavilion quickly went forward and bowed to Qian Yu, who was walking in front of Ling Yun Tower.
"How dare you! This is our new leader, Lady Qian Yu!" One of the Ling Yun Tower's disciples frowned and reprimanded the Heaven Dao Pavilion's disciple after hearing what the Heaven Dao Pavilion's disciple had said. From this small detail, one could see how arrogant the Ling Yun Tower was among the five sects of the Holy Region.
"Lady Qian Yu?!"
"The new leader of Ling Yun Tower?"
"What's going on?"
When the crowd heard this, they were all puzzled. However, while they were puzzled, some of their expressions suddenly changed.
Qian Yu!
They naturally knew this name.
That was because it was precisely this name that had triggered a great war over a decade ago. However, after that war, this name had quickly vanished without a trace.
"Qian Yu became the new leader?" The elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Fu Xi Valley looked at each other. It was impossible for them not to be shocked.
However, the disciple of Ling Yun Tower did not intend to explain further. After reprimanding Ling Yun Tower, he did not speak again.
"This … 'Qu Nan' was blind and offended Leader Qian Yu. Qu Nan apologizes to Leader Qian Yu on behalf of the Heaven Dao Pavilion!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, Qu Nan, who was in charge of receiving guests at the Heaven's Peak, quickly recovered from his shock and bowed respectfully to Qian Yu.
"It's fine." Qian Yu shook her head gently. She didn't intend to make a fuss about it.
"Thank you, Tower Master. Tower Master Qian Yu, please follow me." Qu Nan bowed again, then stepped aside and led Qian Yu and the rest to a spot behind a statue.
However, Qu Nan realized that something was amiss after Qian Yu and the rest sat down. That was because there seemed to be a strange person in the crowd of Ling Yun Tower.
He took a closer look.
A drop of sweat dripped down Qu Nan's forehead.
That was because it was a man. Most importantly, that man seemed to be the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Mubai.
"Great Xia Emperor, what are you doing?" Qu Nan was confused. After all, the Four Great Empires had their own positions. It was a little too much for someone to come to Ling Yun Tower.
"Ahem, where's my position?" Lin Mubai looked at Qu Nan, then at the confused gazes around him. He blushed and coughed softly.
"Oh … Qu Nan was careless. Great Xia Emperor, please follow me!" Qu Nan reacted quickly and put the blame on himself.
Qu Nan had to admit that as the person chosen by Heaven Dao Pavilion to receive the guests at the Heaven's Peak, he was indeed outstanding in terms of handling situations.
"Thank you." Lin Mubai nodded. Then, he quickly arrived at the Great Xia Dynasty's location under Qu Nan's lead.
"Greetings, father!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The Xian King, Lin Yun, and a few other ministers and generals immediately went forward and knelt down when they saw Lin Mubai.
"You may rise." Lin Mubai nodded again and sat on the chair in front. He did not explain further, nor did he intend to speak further.
The Xian King, Lin Yun, and the ministers and generals looked at each other. Naturally, they did not dare to ask any more questions. They quickly stood up and stood behind Lin Mubai.
…
Sunlight shone down from the sky.
The Heaven's Peak was surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountain breeze blew gently and it was slightly chilly. However, there was an inexplicable sense of solemnity and holiness.
Time passed slowly.
After waiting for another 15 minutes, everyone began to feel confused. This was because the Heaven Alliance Meeting was about to begin, but there was still no sign of anyone from Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
"What's wrong with Nine Pinnacles Mountain this time?"
"I heard that something happened to the previous leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing, in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. I guess there's some chaos in the sect now, that's why they're late."
"I know about this too. However, it's impossible for Nine Pinnacles Mountain not to attend today's Heaven Alliance Meeting, right?"
Everyone frowned. After all, even if something happened to the previous leader, as one of the five sects of the Holy Region, Nine Pinnacles Mountain should still be present.
Moreover, the distance between Yin Yang Hall and Nine Pinnacles Mountain was almost the same as the Heaven Zen Mountain. Since Yin Yang Hall had been here for so long, but Nine Pinnacles Mountain had yet to arrive, everyone could not help but speculate.
"Nine Pinnacles Mountain has arrived!" Just as everyone was speculating, another voice was heard. Then, a group of people appeared in the distance and slowly walked towards the Heaven's Peak.
"They're finally here!"
"Yes, the five sects are finally here!"
"Eh? Who's … That person in front? Why haven't I seen him before? "
When everyone looked at the approaching group, their eyes were filled with shock and confusion. This was because the person leading the Nine Pinnacles Mountain was not the Great Elder of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Ying Yu. Instead, it was a young man whom they had never seen before.
He was dressed in white and wore a huge bamboo hat on his head. The black cloth hanging down directly covered the young man's face completely. The only thing that could be seen was the young man's slender figure, his black hair that draped over his shoulders, and his snow-white skin that was exposed.
This scene undoubtedly caused everyone to be even more shocked than before. That was because, under normal circumstances, the person leading Nine Pinnacles Mountain should be Great Elder Ying Yu.
A young man?
Who was this young man?
Not only were the people from the smaller sects confused, even Dao Hun and Dao Xin from Yin Yang Hall trembled when they saw the masked young man walking in front of Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
Although Dao Hun and Dao Xin's faces were covered by their masks and veils, one could still tell that they were slightly surprised by their actions.
However, despite being surprised, the two of them didn't say anything. They didn't go up to ask either. However, their gazes were clearly a little deep.
"Qu Nan, please forgive me for being late. May I know who this is …" Qu Nan stepped forward once again. However, he stopped halfway through his sentence. After all, he had already made a mistake once. Naturally, he would not make the same mistake again. Hence, he had to be very careful.
"This is the new leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain. His surname is Bai, and his name is Fei. He is the last disciple of our previous leader, Tian Xing!" A disciple dressed in black walked out and said loudly.
"Last disciple?" Qu Nan frowned slightly. He subconsciously looked at the masked young man carefully again.
This was because it was not a secret in the Holy Region which leaders and disciples of the Five Sects of the Holy Region had. However, this young man, 'Bai Fei', had never appeared in the Holy Region before.
This person was actually Tian Xing's last disciple?
Furthermore, he had suddenly become the new leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain. It was impossible for Qu Nan not to be surprised.
"This is Nine Pinnacles Mountain's matter." The disciple of Nine Pinnacles Mountain could naturally see the surprise on Qu Nan's face. His tone became a little cold.
"Yes, Leader Tian has always been strict when it comes to accepting disciples. It is normal that he did not announce it to the public. Qu Nan was being rude. Leader Bai Fei, please follow me!" Qu Nan immediately nodded his head in response.
The masked young man, Bai Fei, only nodded his head slightly. Then, he slowly walked towards the direction of Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
"New leader, Bai Fei?!" When the surrounding people saw this scene, they all looked at each other with complicated expressions.
However, as they were just there to make up the numbers, they naturally could not doubt the new leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.
After all, it was just like what the disciple of Nine Pinnacles Mountain had said.
This was Nine Pinnacles Mountain's matter. Outsiders did not even have the right to speak about who Tian Xing had accepted as a disciple and who Nine Pinnacles Mountain had appointed as the new leader.
However, the crowd more or less felt that something was amiss.
Not only did Ling Yun Tower's Leader suddenly change to Qian Yu, but now, Nine Pinnacles Mountain had a leader that they had never seen before.
No one knew if something special would happen at the Heaven Alliance Meeting this time.
The Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng, finally stood up from his seat after the masked young man, Bai Fei, had taken his seat. He scanned the surroundings and his snow-white robe fluttered in the mountain breeze.
A few elders of Heaven Dao Pavilion stood behind him, followed by a group of Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who carried long swords on their backs and wore white scholarly robes.
However, there were exceptions among the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. For example, there was a lady in a pink dress with a snow-white belt.
Chi Guyan.
The pride of Heaven Dao Pavilion stood quietly behind Mu Qingfeng. She did not say a word, but when Mu Qingfeng stood up, she attracted almost everyone's attention.
"Is that Chi Guyan?"
"Yes, she's so beautiful. She's devastatingly beautiful …"
"Shh … Keep your voice down. Some things can be said, but some things can't be said. Chi Guyan is the Chosen One, how can you blaspheme her?"
"I'm just complimenting her. I don't dare to think about anything else!"
Whispers could be heard from the crowd, but it quickly quietened down. That was because Mu Qingfeng's voice could be heard.
"Cough cough!" Mu Qingfeng coughed softly and bowed in the direction of the other four sects. "It is my honor to be able to invite so many fellow Daoists with my invitation. I would like to thank all of you for giving me face and coming!"
"Pavilion Leader, you're too kind!" The people from the other four sects and the surrounding people quickly stood up and returned Mu Qingfeng's greeting.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Mu Qingfeng bowed again and gestured for everyone to take a seat. After everyone had taken their seats, he said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, and I don't like to be long-winded. Therefore, I'll be straightforward with the reason why I've invited all of you to the Heaven Alliance Meeting!"
"Pavilion Leader, please go ahead."
"Yes, I believe that all of you have seen that strange phenomena have been happening in the Heaven and Earth over the past few months. For example, the Heaven Zen Mountain that we're standing on has grown thousands of feet in one night. It's unprecedented. However, such things are happening everywhere and it's getting out of hand. I'm sure all of you have no objections to my words, right?" Mu Qingfeng nodded and continued.
Everyone around him nodded their heads and did not speak again. However, everyone's expressions showed that they understood what Mu Qingfeng was trying to say.
After looking around, Mu Qingfeng didn't wait any longer. He continued, "However, you might not know that something even more mysterious than the strange phenomena has happened at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion's mountain. It's an Ancient Godly Relic!"
"What?!"
"Ancient Godly Relic?!"
"I've never heard of an Ancient Godly Relic?"
After Mu Qingfeng said that, everyone who was initially silent began to speak instinctively. That was because the words' Ancient Godly Relic 'were indeed shocking.
"You might not understand, but there hasn't been any Godly Relic in the Holy Region for thousands of years. Why would I use the words' Ancient Godly Relic 'this time?" Mu Qingfeng's expression didn't change much as he seemed to have guessed that the words would shock the people below.
Silence.
The crowd quietened down once again. Everyone's gazes were focused on Mu Qingfeng, waiting for him to continue.
Mu Qingfeng didn't want to keep them in suspense. After everyone quietened down, he said, "The reason why I used the words' Ancient Godly Relic 'was because there's a paragraph of ancient text in it. After studying it for a few months, I realized that it mentioned a name many times!"
"Name? What name? "
