Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1239: Alliance Head

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was also considered a formidable figure in the Dakongfan Sect. Although his cultivation base wasn’t great, he had excellent eloquence and was highly valued by several elders in the sect.

This time, he had been tasked to get the two Taiyi Yuan Venerates in Xiluo Mountain to submit, which wasn’t a difficult task in his opinion.

He could get it done immediately as long as he wanted to.

The two seated Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates were merely objects he was going to toy with!

Although the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates evaded his attempts and even responded with hints of a threat, this was merely a ridiculous attempt in the opinion of Yuan Venerate Liaozhen.

He was fully confident that he could make a small alliance like this submit under the might of the Dakongfan Sect and slowly disintegrate it.

Everything was progressing smoothly. Just as Yuan Venerate Liaozhen felt that victory was within sight, he was slapped across the face!

He could not even dodge this slap!

In other words, the person who had slapped him had a stronger cultivation and whenever Yuan Venerate Liaozhen faced a stronger opponent, he would choose to fight with his wits instead of using brute strength.

After all, his status was known. Since this person had dared be rude to him, he could definitely use his identity and status to crush him.

When stronger opponents found out about his identity, the vast majority would choose to treat him with courtesy.

After all, he had the support of the Dakongfan Sect!

He had never experienced any setbacks before so he got unimaginably angry when he was slapped in the face just as the completion of a task that would merit a great achievement had been within his reach.

He snarled angrily at Luo Yunyang and even sounded like he was slightly hysterical.

As Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was throwing a fit, another slap landed across his face and cracks began to appear on his skin.

“I’ll kill you if you dare to bark again!” Luo Yunyang glared at Yuan Venerate Liaozhen and spoke very calmly.

Contrary to the way Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was screaming and throwing a fit, Luo Yunyang’s words hardly seemed to threaten anyone. However, when Luo Yunyang uttered those words, Yuan Venerate Liaozhen felt a numbing sensation on his scalp.

He could sense a death threat.

Whatever backers he had did not matter to a person like Luo Yunyang, who would not even explain anything to him before acting rashly.

He shut his mouth right away, while the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates seated on the sun and moon finally reacted to the situation.

Instead of yelling at Luo Yunyang, they flew out of their seats on top of the extremely realistic sun and moon.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist. I’m Rihui of Xiluo Mountain!”

“Greetings, fellow Daoist. I’m Yueyao of Xiluo Mountain!”

Both of them greeted Luo Yunyang’s clone embodiment in unison, as they had already felt the strength of a Yuan Monarch coming from the clone’s aura.

Although they claimed to be able to rival a Yuan Monarch, the differences were still glaring when they faced a true Yuan Monarch.

Rivaling a Yuan Emperor was merely a form of strength recognition for them.

Luo Yunyang nodded at the two men and said, “No need to stand on ceremony with me. I came because I have some matters to discuss with the two of you.”

After he said that, Luo Yunyang turned toward Yuan Venerate Xuanjing.

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing was also slightly taken aback by Luo Yunyang’s domineering behavior. Upon seeing Luo Yunyang look over, he could tell that Luo Yunyang was asking him to speak.

He hesitated for a moment before explaining honestly, “Yuan Venerates, this is Yuan Monarch Yunyang of the Songyang Sword Sect.”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen’s boiling rage simmered down greatly after he found out that the person who had slapped him was a Yuan Monarch. Then, fear crept into his heart.

Although he had some life preservation treasures on him, Yuan Venerate Liaozhen simply had no chance of retaliating if a Yuan Monarch wanted to kill him.

It could even be said that the chances of the Dakongfan Sect avenging him would not be great if they knew that he had been killed by a Yuan Monarch.

“So it’s Daoist Yunyang. We are both honored!” Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao landed beside Luo Yunyang and immediately felt Luo Yunyang’s cultivation level. After hearing what Yuan Venerate Xuanjing said, they became even more respectful.

“We will be like a family in the future. You two don’t have to be overly polite,” Luo Yunyang said with a smile.

After he said that, he looked at Yuan Venerate Liaozhen and said, “Leave us now if you don’t have anything else to say!”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was really afraid of a Yuan Monarch like Luo Yunyang, as his cultivation base was a complete mismatch.

He would be the one losing face if he continued to entangle with Luo Yunyang. Upon seeing that Luo Yunyang was not making things difficult for him anymore, he quickly said, “Sir Yuan Monarch, I didn’t reach my limits. Please forgive me.”

After he said that, he humbled himself and added, “I have come here under the orders of Yuan Sage Wuxiang to invite everyone to attend the Wanfan Assembly. If none of you are willing to attend it, I hope I can be given a formal reply so that I can return and complete my task.”

Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao were really unwilling to provide an answer.

Although they were unwilling to attend the Wanfan Assembly, they dared not offend a Yuan Sage. However, their fates would no longer be in their own hands if they attended the Wanfan Assembly.

“This...” Yuan Venerate Rihui was speechless for a moment.

Yuan Venerate Yueyao’s brows were furrowed, and he instinctively looked at Yuan Venerate Xuanjing. Although Yuan Venerate Xuanjing’s cultivation wasn’t stronger than theirs, he possessed outstanding wisdom and always acted as the brains of the alliance.

“Yuan Venerates, Yuan Monarch Yunyang is joining our alliance. He should be one of the people in charge. This matter concerns our entire alliance. I think it would be better to listen to Yuan Monarch Yunyang’s opinion as well.”

Yuan Venerate Xuanjing had already been thinking about ways to push Luo Yunyang to be in charge of the alliance. Since both Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates were unable to make up their minds under the pressure of the Dakongfan Sect, he immediately sensed that this was an opportunity for Luo Yunyang.

Just as Yuan Venerate Xuanjing thought, Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao, who had been greatly troubled by what Yuan Venerate Liaozhen had said, glanced at Luo Yunyang simultaneously and said, “Yuan Monarch Yunyang has exceptional cultivation. He has joined our alliance now, so he should naturally be in charge of the alliance.”

“I wonder what Yuan Monarch Yunyang has to say about this?”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was not worried when he heard that Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao had given Luo Yunyang the right to decide. So what if Luo Yunyang had a Yuan Monarch cultivation?

Although Yuan Monarchs were formidable, it depended on who they were facing! A Yuan Monarch was nothing against a Yuan Sage!

Luo Yunyang had thought that he was going to participate in some sort of battle to suppress the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates before he could be in charge of this alliance, which was formed mainly of people seeking self-protection. However, he had not expected that the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates would give up their position before he had even said a word.

Although Luo Yunyang was in a thorny situation now that they had resigned, being able to make the two Taiyi Yuan Venerates give up their positions that easily was a great thing for Luo Yunyang.

As for Yuan Sage Wuxiang, who wanted to annex the alliance, while Luo Yunyang was not willing to fall apart completely with him, he knew that he had to make a decision this time.

Thus, Luo Yunyang replied on a whim, “Since both of you trust me so much, I will make a decision on behalf of the alliance.”

After saying that, Luo Yunyang looked at Yuan Venerate Liaozhen and said, “We will definitely attend the Wanfan Assembly on time!”

Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao were disappointed when they heard Luo Yunyang’s words. Both of them would have given the same answer as Luo Yunyang, but Luo Yunyang was a Yuan Monarch, which made them feel...

Disappointed? They felt that Luo Yunyang’s answer seemed reasonable. However, in all honesty, they were irreversibly disappointed in his answer.

While they thought things were going to end in this manner, Luo Yunyang spoke again. “Shouldn’t the Dakongfan Sect send a written invitation for us to attend the Wanfan Assembly? How can we attend it without a formal invitation?”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was delighted to hear that Luo Yunyang had agreed to attend. Although his joy did not overshadow being slapped by Luo Yunyang, it was still better than being beaten in vain.

However, Luo Yunyang had asked this question just as he had been preparing to respond in the most elegant manner.

This made him feel as if he had been hit hard by something, which felt extremely painful.

“Yuan Monarch Yunyang, are you sure you want a written invitation?”

There were two types of participants in the Wanfan Assembly. Those who had written invitations were naturally guests of the Dakongfan Sect and did not need to submit or listen to the commands of the Dakongfan Sect even if they had connections to the Dakongfan Sect.

However, those who did not have written invitations but took the initiative to attend the event were subordinates of the Dakongfan Sect. Naturally, the Dakongfan Sect had the authority to decide the fate of its subordinates.

Luo Yunyang stared at Yuan Venerate Liaozhen and said, “What’s wrong? Shouldn’t the Dakongfan Sect send a written invitation if they want us to attend? If the Dakongfan Sect can’t send out an invitation, then we shall not attend the assembly.”

“We do have written invitations, but I will not be the one to deliver them. Yuan Venerates, please consider this carefully. Are you sure you want us to send written invitations?”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was speaking to the two Shentian Taiyi Yuan Venerates who stood behind Luo Yunyang.

Both Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao looked solemn after hearing that. They exchanged a glance for a moment before Yuan Venerate Rihui said, “Yuan Monarch Yunyang is in charge of the alliance. We will agree to what he says, and so will the rest of our alliance.”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen’s face darkened momentarily, as his threat had not worked at all. As a result, he felt frustrated.

“In that case, you can all wait for a written invitation from the Dakongfan Sect!”

After he said that, Yuan Venerate Liaozhen strode out of the main hall.
