Inside Si Tiantai, there was a hubbub as the guests and the host were having a great time.
However, as the host, Mu Zixuan translated to the grey-haired old man sitting at the head of the guest table. The wine tasted bitter when it entered her mouth.
The old man sat with his legs crossed. Although he was in a banquet, his back was as straight as a sword, as if he had never relaxed for a moment. He was not impolite when he toasted, but there was a disdainful elegance in his gestures, making him stand out among the guests. The one who had such an imposing manner was naturally the Sword Emperor of the present age, Yue Cangqiong.
The world's number of masters, together with the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower, joined the alliance. As soon as they joined the alliance, they solved the siege of the Golden Sharp Tower and repelled the surprise attack of the Hungry Ghost Path and the Hell Path. No matter which one it was, it was exciting. It was no wonder that Yue Cangqiong, who was not popular in the past, could enjoy the treatment of the moon surrounded by stars.
Only Mu Zixuan was rather displeased. The fact that the Sharp Golden Peak Tower was not completely annihilated meant that there was still a thorn in its side. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Calamity Cloud had suffered serious injuries from the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower's attack. Although it had absorbed some souls to replenish its strength, it was ultimately not worth it. But compared to Yue Cangqiong joining the alliance, it was nothing.
If they followed the tradition of courtesy and let someone like Yue Cangqiong, who was more famous and had higher cultivation than him, join the alliance, he would probably put on a show like "I'm young and incompetent, so I don't dare to take a high position. Today, I'll give up my position and ask the Sword Emperor to be the leader of the alliance to fight against the Six Dao."
But at this moment, Mu Zixuan did not dare to act at all. If Yue Cang Qiong really did not follow the routine and agreed to it, it would be a small matter if he was embarrassed, but the alliance that took two years to build would be easily taken by someone else.
Fortunately, Mu Zixuan was not an ordinary person. She gradually suppressed her unhappiness and began to plan again.
"The cooperation with the Six Dao of Evil Destruction was to eliminate a common enemy. Wei Wushuang and Qing Yue were the same. But in recent years, they only dealt with small fries. Now it's time to change to the big fish, the Sword Emperor."
"Yue Cang Qiong's style of doing things is completely different from before when he emerged from his closed door cultivation this time. The plans that I've set up in the past are no longer applicable, and I must evaluate him as a completely new opponent …"
While he was deep in thought, his gaze lingered on Yue Cang Qiong for a long time. Yue Cang Qiong seemed to have sensed his gaze and turned his head to look at him. Yue Cang Qiong smiled lightly and raised his cup, "Alliance Leader Mu, you're so young and yet you're able to defend against the Six Paths of Evil Annihilation. It must have been tough on you to deal with Di Lingtian until now. Let me toast to you. Now that I've joined the Alliance, I will naturally help Alliance Master Mu shoulder the heavy responsibility and let the Six Paths be completely destroyed! "
"This old man is quite direct!" Mu Zixuan sneered inwardly. The Sword Emperor seemed to be praising him on the surface, but in reality, he was implying that Mu Zixuan could only remain undefeated for the past two years and was unable to eradicate the Dominator. Not only did the Sword Emperor raise the value of the Spring and Autumn Sword Tower joining the alliance, but he also had the intention of dividing power from Mu Zixuan. The rest of the people did not know what was going on, but they were all cheering.
However, in terms of the battle of words, Mu Zixuan did not lose to anyone. Mu Zixuan stopped smiling and sighed, "The Dominator is coming at us ferociously. I tried my best, but I could only maintain a stalemate. For the past two years, every time the righteous sects were injured, and every time the common people suffered, it made me feel like my heart was being stabbed by a knife. There were a few times when I wanted to ask the Sword Emperor for help, but when I thought that the Sword Emperor was concentrating on his closed door cultivation to improve his swordsmanship state, he did not have the heart to care about worldly affairs, so I suppressed my request. "
The people who were cheering just now were affected by Mu Zixuan's words, and gradually fell silent. After fighting for two years, all the sects had suffered losses, and when they thought about it, they could not help but feel sad.
After pausing for a while, Mu Zixuan smiled apologetically and said, "It was a slip of my tongue. I originally wanted to welcome the Sword Emperor into the alliance, and I should not have dampened everyone's mood. Fortunately, the cries of the common people have finally reached the Sword Emperor's ears. After two years, the Sword Emperor has finally come out of closed door cultivation. Mu Zixuan is here to welcome the Sword Emperor again."
After saying that, she raised her cup again, but in her respectful words, she hinted that the Sword Emperor had chosen to go into closed door cultivation for two years when the Dominator was at its worst, and ignored the calamity of the sects, waiting until now to make a move. It was really suspicious that the Sword Emperor was taking advantage of the situation.
The corner of the Sword Emperor's eyes twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "The welcome wine is enough. I joined the alliance late, and my achievements are not obvious, so I can't repay everyone's expectations. I heard that there is a stronghold of the Dominator in the southeast of Si Tiantai. Why don't I lead a group of people to attack that stronghold and behead the enemy, and turn this welcome wine into a celebratory wine? It won't be too late to drink then!"
As soon as the bold words were spoken, there were immediately people who agreed.
"Well said, Senior Sword Emperor. If Senior takes action, I is willing to be your follower!"
"I've been tolerating them for a long time, count me in!"
"I'll go too, I'll go too!"
It was just a stronghold, and with Yue Cang Qiong taking action, it would be easy. There was no reason for them not to take the credit. However, Mu Zixuan secretly frowned. Currently, the Sword Emperor's achievements were not obvious, so this banquet could only be used to welcome him, and not to arrange his position. However, if Yue Cang Qiong repeatedly made great contributions, she might really have to give up her position to him.
So now, they had to make the Sword Emperor empty first, and stop him from making great contributions, then secretly conspire with Di Lingtian, and make a detailed plan to eliminate the Sword Emperor. Just as he was about to speak up to dissuade the crowd, someone had already spoken before him.
"You can't go!"
A dignified female voice sounded, and then a figure walked straight into the main hall. The person who came was a tall and thin middle-aged woman. Her face was ordinary, but her eyes were deep like the sea, as if there was endless wisdom hidden within, making her seem extraordinary.
"It's Sect Leader Su!" Everyone exclaimed. The person who came was the Sect Leader of Youtan Pure Sect, second only to the Holy Buddha in Buddhism, Su Miaoyin.
"Sect Leader Su, what can I do for you?" Although the words were exactly what he wanted, in Si Tiantai, someone was giving orders for him, which made Mu Zixuan frown slightly.
Su Miaoyin asked, "Does Alliance Leader Mu know that the Heavenly Book Cliff of Mount Tai has opened, and that the Heavenly Book is about to appear?"
"The Heavenly Book is appearing?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, and many people woke up in an instant. The Heavenly Book was mysterious and unpredictable, and every time it appeared, it would cause a drastic change. Now that they were alive, they actually encountered the Heavenly Book appearing, how could they not be shocked?
Mu Zixuan was also at a loss. He knew about the Heavenly Book being divided into eight, but he had never heard about the opening of the Heavenly Book Cliff of Mount Tai. At this moment, there was a sudden report, and a messenger walked into the hall and handed over the report. Mu Zixuan took a look and sighed, "Now I know."
The information conveyed was about the opening of the Heavenly Book Cliff. Si Tiantai had the support of the imperial court, so the intelligence system was quite complete. However, Su Miaoyin could come one step earlier than them. Obviously, she came to Si Tiantai as soon as she got the news. Seeing that Su Miaoyin valued it so much, Mu Zixuan asked, "I wonder what advice does Sect Leader Su have?"
Su Miaoyin said solemnly, "The matter of the Heavenly Book is related to the future. This matter is of great importance, and it will definitely cause the Demon World and the Six Dao to covet it. I hope Alliance Leader Mu can help with two things."
Mu Zixuan said, "Sect Leader Su, please say it. The Righteous Sky Alliance will cooperate fully!"
"Firstly, the Heavenly Book is mysterious and unpredictable. We know too little about it. Mister Zhishi has made three divinations in order to solve the secret of the Heavenly Book, and now he has been injured. Apart from Mister Zhishi, Si Tiantai's astrological divinations are also top-notch, especially Celestial Ce Tianji, who is known as' nine out of ten divinations are not accurate '. Mister Zhishi often praises Celestial Ce Tianji's attainments, so he wants to ask Si Tiantai to solve the secret of the Heavenly Book on his behalf."
Ce Tianji, who was at the side, beamed with joy when he heard this. He returned the favor and flattered, "Mister Zhishi is indeed one of the Five Wonders of the World. I am usually so low-key, but he still found out my extraordinariness at one glance!"
Mu Zixuan said, "This is naturally not difficult."
"Also, Alliance Leader Mu, please choose some people. The people should be good and not too many, so that they can reach Mount Tai as soon as possible."
Mu Zixuan nodded again and said, "That's easy too!" She then chose the experts of the Righteous Alliance, but only Yue Cang Qiong was left. After the selection was done, she then said to Yue Cang Qiong, "Senior Sword Emperor, today I am here to welcome you to join us, but things happened so suddenly that I can't accompany you for long. Please forgive me for my lack of strength. Also, since we are going to Mount Tai, the alliance's defenses are weak, and we have yet to defend against the Six Dao of Evil's sneak attack.
Yue Cang Qiong knew her intention, he smiled and said, "It's alright, I don't believe in the Will of Heaven, so I have no interest in the Heavenly Book."
Mu Zixuan then ordered, "Then let's not delay any longer, let's all depart!" She then led everyone out of the main hall.
In the main hall, more than half of the people had left, and the originally noisy main hall was now empty. Yue Cang Qiong took a sip of wine and put down the wine cup, but a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Exclude me, isolate me, and make me unable to make any contributions? It's all useless, I only need to make one contribution, and I can overturn the universe! "
