The guest tower.
Xiao Yumei had sent people to build it after Upheaval City was built.
Each of the Nine Divine Mountains was protected by a holy land.
The tenth Divine Mountain was the Divine Mountain of the Outer Realm. Ye Zichen occupied it, so Upheaval naturally became its holy land.
Furthermore, the Upheaval Alliance frequently interacted with the other Divine Mountains, and an endless stream of families, big and small, came to pay their respects. The Upheaval Alliance needed a tower like this as a facade to receive visitors.
The tower had nine floors, and nine represented the extremities.
The bottom three floors were used to greet foreign guests, while the other six floors were used for internal meetings.
In truth, this was Ye Zichen's first time back in Upheaval City. In the past, Xiao Yumei and the others handled internal affairs. They only discussed important matters with the Upheaval Alliance.
As such, Ye Zichen was more than happy to be a hands-off boss.
The Outsider Emperor led the way. Along the way, Ye Zichen and Gu Li saw an endless stream of visitors, as well as plenty of Upheaval Alliance members bustling about.
Among these chaotic members, the Supreme-Beings still occupied the majority of the number.
However, Ye Zichen discovered that there were still quite a few diviners and rulers.
In other words, if you disregarded the other holy lands' secret forces, then Upheaval was far superior to the other Divine Mountains.
"General Li!"
Two rulers stood guard in front of the tower. When they saw the Outsider Emperor, they knelt on one knee.
"Is Vice Alliance Head Xiao here?"
The two Sovereign Realm experts only replied after the Extraterritorial Emperor spoke.
"Vice Alliance Head Xiao and the elders are waiting for you on the top floor."
The Outsider Emperor nodded at the two rulers, then turned back and said respectfully, "Alliance Head.
This way please …. "
Ye Zichen and Gu Li walked side by side into the tower. Only then did the Outsider Emperor and the others follow. The two Sovereigns guarding the door were stunned, and they looked at each other …
"That's our Alliance Head …."
Xiao Yumei and the others had always been in charge of the Upheaval Alliance. Ye Zichen, who spent most of his time away, rarely showed his face. Most people in the Upheaval Alliance had never seen Ye Zichen's face. Perhaps Xiao Yumei and the others had their own ideas, so they didn't keep a portrait of Ye Zichen.
As the two rulers stared at each other in silence, Ye Zichen and the others entered the tower.
After entering the tower, Ye Zichen discovered that each floor was guarded by an expert at the very least an emperor. The entire reception tower was also surrounded by a barrier. It was impossible to sense what was going on inside from the outside, but it was possible to spy on the outside from the inside.
There were guests visiting the first, second, and third floors of the guest house, and they were received by the deacons of the alliance.
Everyone who saw the Outsider Emperor greeted him, but they were also surprised to see Ye Zichen and Gu Li walking ahead of him.
On the top floor of the guest house.
Compared to the splendor of the lower floors, the top floor was much simpler.
This was also arranged according to Xiao Yumei's preferences. She liked simplicity and didn't like flashy but impractical things. The top floor was for the higher-ups like them to discuss matters. Since it wasn't visible to outsiders, it also saved them the hassle.
The entire hall on the top floor had a total of 36 seats, divided into two rows on the left and right.
There were a total of three high seats in front of the door. The highest seat faced the crowd, and the two seats below faced each other. Compared to the 36 seats below, the only difference was that the seats were higher and closer to the seat in the center.
By now, all thirty-six seats were occupied. Xiao Yumei sat to the left of the seat in the center.
No one in the hall opened their mouths to speak. However, there was a layer of dense and solemn aura that enveloped the entire hall.
Thud, thud …..
Clear, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the hall. The Outsider Emperor was the first to enter.
After stepping into the hall, he stopped at the entrance and looked outside. Xiao Yumei had already risen from her seat, and the occupants of the other thirty-six seats rose with her.
Next, they watched as a shadow, elongated by the sunlight, entered the hall.
Only then did Ye Zichen and Gu Li enter the hall.
"Alliance Head!"
Xiao Yumei's expression was solemn. The others bowed and greeted her as well.
Anyone who could sit in this hall could sense that they were all Emperors based on the auras they gave off.
There were quite a few experts Ye Zichen had never met before, as well as quite a few old acquaintances.
For example, Xiao Hu and Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Hu didn't have the right to sit. He could only stand behind Xiao Yan.
What astonished him even more was that Su Liu 'er and Su Yan were present as well.
That wasn't all. Zuo Mo, Gou Yuzhan, Yin Shang, and the others were present as well.
Ye Zichen nodded at them. He sensed that the atmosphere was rather tense, so he said nothing else.
He glanced at the decorations and knew full well that the seat in the center was reserved for him. He walked straight to the seat in the center and sat down. To his surprise, Gu Li followed him and sat to his right.
Only after Ye Zichen and Gu Li took their seats did the others follow suit.
"General Li, let's begin!"
Xiao Yumei waved at the Outsider Emperor. General Li took a few steps forward and said, "This matter is rather complicated.
Please, everyone, take a look at a video. "
With that, General Li walked up to Zuo Mo.
"Miss Zuo, please present the contents of this video to the Alliance Head and the council members."
General Li handed Zuo Mo a cell phone. The instant he handed it over, Ye Zichen vaguely saw the veins on General Li's arms bulge and his eyes redden.
After handing over the phone, General Li retreated to the side.
Zuo Mo clicked open the video with practiced ease, then waved at the technicians she'd brought with her. In the blink of an eye, a screen of water appeared before everyone's eyes.
The video began …..
Everyone saw a platoon of over a hundred people. They were led by three Divine Generals, fifteen Rulers, and the rest were Diviner experts.
Judging from the video's environment, they were most likely in the Outer Realms.
Several minutes passed, but nothing noteworthy appeared in the video, until …..
"Deputy General Zheng, Lil 'Six is missing!"
The entire platoon came to a stop. The camera scanned their surroundings several times, but still found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Don't worry about it. Stick close to the group. Don't fall behind ….."
The platoon continued advancing, but before long ….
"Ol 'Wang, Ol' Wang's gone!"
"Ol 'Hu isn't with us either!"
"You guys, look …. Mon …. Monster …."
