"Pavilion Master, something big has happened." Lin Zhengchun arrived at the Azure Cloud Court.
"Speak." Chen Zong said calmly as if he wouldn't be surprised even if the sky collapsed.
"A new Pavilion Master came to the Brilliant Purple House today. He imitated the previous Pavilion Master and sent out invitations to all the forces, asking them to gather at the Brilliant Purple House tomorrow." Lin Zhengchun said in a deep voice.
The Purple Cloud City wasn't small, but it wasn't that big either. If something big happened, it would be easy to find out, not to mention that it wasn't deliberately hidden.
One had to admit that the Brilliant Purple House's actions were very high-profile. It was as if they were showing off to the Azure Cloud Pavilion, so the Azure Cloud Pavilion would naturally know about it.
"The Pavilion Master will give them an answer tomorrow morning, but the new Pavilion Master sent out invitations, asking them to gather at the Brilliant Purple House tomorrow." Lin Zhengchun's face suddenly turned cold.
This was no doubt a choice.
Coming to the Azure Cloud Pavilion tomorrow morning to give an answer or gathering at the Brilliant Purple House would represent one's attitude. Ignoring both sides would also represent one's attitude.
At night, Chen Zong was cultivating the Illusory Sky Cloud Art.
After mastering the art, Chen Zong's body seemed to become ethereal as if he was about to turn into a cloud, becoming hazy and dreamy.
His aura changed and became stronger. He had broken through.
Mid Ninth Layer Foundation Realm!
His Zhen Qi became purer and more explosive. His quantity also increased.
…
The next morning, Chen Zong came to the main hall of the Azure Cloud Pavilion and sat down. Lin Zhengchun and the others also came and sat down, waiting.
As the Pavilion Master, Chen Zong closed his eyes and comprehended the Heart Sword Sutra.
Through the Heart Sword Sutra and his understanding of the first three transformations, Chen Zong deduced the fourth transformation. Now, he planned to comprehend more of the Heart Sword Sutra and see if he could deduce the fifth transformation.
If the fourth transformation allowed him to cultivate the Heart Sword Force, then what about the fifth transformation?
Would it strengthen the Heart Sword Force? Or something else?
Chen Zong didn't know, but he was looking forward to it. With anticipation, there was more motivation.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. The time that Chen Zong mentioned yesterday had passed, but no one came, let alone an answer.
At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside and knelt down on one knee.
"Pavilion Master, the leaders of the three great clans and twenty-one star forces have all entered the Brilliant Purple Tower." This person from the Clear Cloud Pavilion said in a hurried tone.
Chen Zong opened his eyes slowly. They were as clear as spring water. He grabbed Bai Hongjian beside him and stood up leisurely. He hung Bai Hongjian on his waist.
"Let's go," Chen Zong glanced at Lin Zhengchun. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but there was an indescribable decisiveness in it.
Lin Zhengchun was not surprised. He got up and walked out.
Lin Zhengyi, Lin Gu, and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"You don't have to follow me." Chen Zong's voice drifted in from outside.
"What are you trying to do?" Lin Gu was confused.
"Don't tell me … they plan to go to the Brilliant Purple Tower!" Lin Zhengyi was shocked.
Other than this conjecture, there seemed to be nothing else.
"This …"
"Big brother, you're being silly." Lin Zhengyi lamented.
What kind of place was the Brilliant Purple Tower? It was the archenemy of the Clear Cloud Pavilion. Although Lin Zhengchun was a half-step Transcendent, the Brilliant Purple Tower also had half-step Transcendent experts.
"Don't worry. With Big Uncle's strength, he'll be fine." Lin Gu was surprisingly smart. "Big Uncle's strength is superb. The Brilliant Purple Tower can't do anything to him. However, that Chen Zong …"
At this point, Lin Gu's lips curled into a cold smile.
After being threatened by Lin Zhengchun without any reason, Lin Gu's submission was only on the surface.
…
Lin Zhengchun and Chen Zong walked out of the Clear Cloud Pavilion and headed towards the Brilliant Purple Tower.
Lin Zhengchun, who already knew of Chen Zong's strength, was not worried. Even if they could not do anything to the Brilliant Purple Tower, the two of them could easily leave.
The Clear Cloud Pavilion was located in the east of the Purple Cloud City, while the Brilliant Purple Tower was located in the west.
…
Inside the Brilliant Purple Tower's main hall, the Patriarchs of the three great families and the leaders of the twenty great forces had all gathered. They had no choice but to be present because the threat posed by the Brilliant Purple Tower was too great.
The Clear Cloud Pavilion's invitation was only an invitation, but the Brilliant Purple Tower's invitation was not only an invitation but also a threat.
In the past, this method would not have worked because the Brilliant Purple Tower only had one half-step Transcendent while the three great families had three.
Of course, the three great families had three half-step Transcendents, but they did not dare to act against the Clear Cloud Pavilion and Brilliant Purple Tower for fear of provoking the masters of the two great sects.
This was the difference between having a backer and not.
However, the one who threatened them this time was not the half-step Transcendent from the Brilliant Purple Tower, but rather a burly man who seemed to possess half-step Transcendent strength. His actions were extremely ruthless and either life or death.
This meant that the Brilliant Purple Tower had two half-step Transcendents.
It was terrifying.
Inside the Brilliant Purple Tower's main hall, there were many people seated.
Yu Jingtian sat in the Tower Lord's seat, behind him to his left was a towering figure, causing those who saw him to feel intimidated. In fact, the three great family Patriarchs and the twenty great forces' leaders were all very wary because they had all personally witnessed the terrifying strength of this towering man.
Behind Yu Jingtian to his right sat a purple robed old man with disheveled long hair. Everyone recognized him, he was the half-step Transcendent master of the Brilliant Purple Tower.
In addition, the Deputy Tower Lord and four Elders of the Brilliant Purple Tower, as well as a number of Ninth Layer Foundation Realm masters, were all present.
It could be said that this time, in order to reorganize Purple Cloud City and subdue the various great forces, the Brilliant Purple Tower had gone all out.
Next to each of the three great family Patriarchs sat an old man, each of them exuding an extraordinary aura that filled the air, causing those who saw them to feel oppressed.
Grand Elders!
The three Grand Elders of the three great family Patriarchs were all half-step Transcendents. However, when their gazes fell on the towering man behind Yu Jingtian, a trace of fear flashed through their eyes. Especially the Feng Clan's Grand Elder, his fear was the most obvious.
After a simple exchange yesterday, the Feng Clan's Grand Elder knew that he couldn't do anything to the other party. Not only could he not do anything to the other party, he wasn't even a match for the other party.
Therefore, they had no choice but to come.
Each of them felt bitter in their hearts. They all knew that if the Blue Cloud Sect or the Brilliant Purple Sect really wanted to interfere, then their so-called alliance of the three great family Patriarchs and the twenty great forces' alliance would be nothing.
Fortunately, the two great Sects didn't place much importance on this place, or perhaps the two great Sects had reached some kind of agreement that allowed them to survive in the cracks and grow stronger.
The Clear Cloud Pavilion's previous actions were nothing in their eyes, but the Brilliant Purple Tower's actions were even more direct and intense, causing them to feel fear.
Could it be that the Brilliant Purple Sect really wanted to interfere with Purple Cloud City?
If that was the case, then they wouldn't be able to resist at all.
"I've always been direct with my words and actions." Yu Jingtian sat still, but his face was filled with a playful smile. His eyes contained a mysterious light that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He swept his gaze across everyone's faces, "I'm sure you all know my purpose for summoning you here today."
"My time is precious and I don't have the patience to play with you all. Therefore, I'll give you half an hour to make your choice."
"Submit … or perish …"
When the last words left his mouth, Yu Jingtian's tone became incomparably sharp and contained a shocking amount of killing intent. His tyrannical aura also spread out.
Ninth level of the Foundation Building Realm!
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, his cultivation was at the ninth level of the Foundation Building Realm. Without a doubt, it was very shocking. He was definitely a genius with a boundless future.
Could they offend such a person?
Was half an hour very long?
No, it was actually very short. However, at this moment, it gave them a kind of torment.
Because the atmosphere here was very cold and solemn, it was very oppressive.
Everyone lowered their heads and pondered.
Submit … or perish …
Choosing one of the two, there was no luck to speak of.
"Tower Lord Yu, the Clear Cloud Pavilion will not agree." A leader of a one-star force gathered his courage and spoke up.
"That has nothing to do with you." Yu Jingtian coldly smiled.
In fact, if he didn't bring Chong Shan here, it would be very difficult for Yu Jingtian to reorganize Purple Cloud City by himself. He didn't know how much time he would have to spend here, and whether he could succeed in the end was also unknown.
"My Big Bear Gang is willing to submit." After a quarter of an hour, someone was the first to stand up and speak. It was the leader of the Big Bear Gang. He wasn't killed because Chong Shan had killed as many as six other leaders.
Since someone made the first move, there would be a second to follow.
The leader of the Little Saber Gang also expressed his submission. However, the leader of the Little Saber Gang was no longer the original leader. The original leader had been killed by Chong Shan with a single palm strike. His body was torn apart and was in a very miserable state. The deputy leader became the leader and took charge of the Little Saber Gang.
"My White Wolf Gang is willing to submit." The current leader of the White Wolf Gang also stood up and shouted.
One after another, the leaders of one-star forces stood up and expressed their submission. Although it wasn't clear whether they really wanted to submit in their hearts, it was what they were showing at this moment.
Thus, the alliance of twenty one-star forces was broken.
An alliance of twenty one-star forces sounded very shocking, but in fact, they were the weakest among the four forces in Purple Cloud City because they lacked half-step Transcendents. If it wasn't for the fact that they were worried about involving too many people and causing Purple Cloud City to fall into chaos, they would have been eliminated long ago.
Now, they were being eliminated bit by bit, or rather, subdued.
As the leaders of the forces expressed their submission one after another, the smile on Yu Jingtian's face became more and more obvious. He felt that perhaps he wouldn't need to spend too much time to reorganize Purple Cloud City. At that time, Purple Cloud City would belong to Purple Brilliant Sect, and his bet with others would end with him winning.
That's right, coming here was just a bet.
After half an hour, the leaders of the twenty one-star forces expressed their submission one after another. Yu Jingtian's gaze fell on the leaders of the three major families, instantly bringing them great pressure.
Now, it was time for the three leaders to make a choice.
Submit or perish.
The three Grand Elders didn't speak. It was up to the three leaders to make a choice.
If they also submitted to Purple Brilliant Sect, it would mean that Purple Brilliant Sect occupied the majority of Purple Cloud City. The situation would be very unfavorable for Clear Cloud Pavilion.
"Speak." Yu Jingtian spoke. His tone was calm, but it contained an invisible power.
