Chapter 2576: Tong Tian’s Visit

Afterwards, Mu Lin directly made his way to the northern region of the Cloud Plane.

The four great elders gathered together after he left. They stared in the direction that Mu Lin had traveled off into as they discussed among themselves secretly.

“The northern region is the Righteous Alliance’s territory. Now that the young star lord’s bodyguard has gone there like that, do you think there will be conflict with the Righteous Alliance?”

“Conflict will be good. Isn’t that what our Four Symbols Alliance wants? However, since he is the bodyguard of the young star lord, the Righteous Alliance probably won’t dare to do anything to him...”

“Whatever. All we need to do is plant a seed of grievance in the Righteous Alliance and let it sprout slowly...”

“I heard the Xuandao Empire’s two princesses are engaged to two peak clans in the central region...”

...

Under the lead of the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak, the ancestors of the Righteous Alliance gathered together for a secret discussion.

“Now, we’re basically certain that the foster son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, the young star lord, has come to the Cloud Plane, and the Four Symbols Alliance basically wants to ally themselves with him,” the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak said sternly. The Four Symbols Alliance had not made the young star lord’s presence public, and extremely few people knew about the matter. However, the Righteous Alliance was just too developed. They had people who had infiltrated the upper echelon of the Four Symbols Alliance, so they received the most recent news very soon.

“That’s bad. Even if the young star lord has only come to the Cloud Plane for training, and he has brought next to no experts with him, his identity is still there. The Four Symbols Alliance clearly wants to use him against us.” The ancestor of the Cosmic sect, Zhou Zhidao, stroked his long beard and let out a long sigh.

The ancestor of the Tong family, Tong Wuming, the ancestor of the Godsfallen clan, Luo Mantian, and Lieyan Wuji from the Firegod clan frowned as well. If the Four Symbols Alliance allied themselves with the young star lord, it would be a great calamity for their Righteous Alliance.

Although the young star lord did not possess particularly great power as an individual, his special and exalted status gave him great power. If he wanted to assist the Four Symbols Alliance, it would not be something that their Righteous Alliance could handle.

“We only have one path ahead of us now that everything is like this and that’s the Tian Yuan clan.” The ancestor of the Tong family, Tong Wuming, seemed extremely old. His face was riddled with wrinkles as he squinted his eyes. His gaze was deep.

“The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng is behind the Tian Yuan clan, and their first majesty is a supreme expert who has stunned the Saints’ World by hunting down the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. They can indeed face the organization behind the young star lord. However, the Tian Yuan clan has always been unwilling to have anything to do with us and the Four Symbols Alliance. I think it will be rather difficult for us to ally with the Tian Yuan clan,” said the ancestor of the Firegod clan, Lieyan Wuji, in thought. He wore fire-red robes as his long, scarlet hair danced about like a ball of flames.

“Times have changed. Ming Dong is no longer present, and the divine general from the Divine Palace of Bisheng has left as well. The Tian Yuan clan no longer possesses as great a deterrence towards the Four Symbols Alliance as in the past. I believe the Tian Yuan clan needs us,” said the ancestor of the Cosmic sect, Zhou Zhidao.

“I have a great-grandson who just happens to have some ties with Jian Chen. Why don’t I let this great-grandson of mine pay a visit to the Tian Yuan clan and see what Jian Chen thinks?” Tong Wuming said.

“That would be perfect...”

...

The news of the war that the Pingtian Empire experienced spread across all five regions of the Cloud Plane in just a day. It caused quite the disturbance. At the same time, the mysterious organisation that had a nine-starred banner became the centre of attention of all organisations on the Cloud Plane as well. Conversations and discussions about this mysterious organisation could basically be heard everywhere.

Only a handful of peak organisations knew exactly what the mysterious organisation was. Until they distributed the news, the organisations of lower status would naturally have no idea.

“I wonder where these people who provoked the Tian Yuan clan came from. Don’t they know that even the two great alliances on the Cloud Plane do not dare to provoke the Tian Yuan clan...”

“There definitely won’t be a good outcome for them since they have provoked the Tian Yuan clan. Let’s just wait and see. This organisation with nine stars will definitely be in for trouble...”

“The most recent news is that the Tian Yuan clan killed one of the five Chaotic Primes from the organisation on the spot...”

“What? Even an expert like a Chaotic Prime died? Heavens! Now that I think about our Mountain Range sect, our most powerful ancestor is only an Infinite Prime. He’s nowhere close to being a Chaotic Prime...”

“The Tian Yuan clan really is powerful...”

...

Just as these people discussed about the Tian Yuan clan and the mysterious organisation enthusiastically, a special guest arrived in the Dong’an province of the Pingtian Empire.

He was a handsome young man with a striking appearance. He wore luxurious, white robes as he held a folding fan. He bore an impudent smile on his face as he strolled through the busy streets, constantly letting out sighs of amazement.

This young man was the young master who had once saved Jian Chen back in the dwelling of Godking Duanmu, Tong Tian.

A middle-aged man in robes followed Tong Tian closely. Even though he was only a Godking, his presence was much more powerful than most late Godkings.

This middle-aged man was Tong Tian’s personal bodyguard, Qin Zheng.

“When I think of the past, brother Jian Chen had still been risking his life to fight for the resources left behind by a Godking, but now, his status has become so great. The clan he founded has single-handedly become renowned across the entire Cloud Plane, a target for our ancestor to ally with. Then you look at me. I haven’t changed much at all compared to when I first met Jian Chen. Uncle Qin, why do you think that people can be so different?” Tong Tian swung his fan. He seemed like a careless fool, as if he had been devastated.

“No matter how you put it, I am the prodigy with the greatest talent in the past hundred thousand years in the Tong family’s history. However, once you compare me to Jian Chen, the gap is just far too shocking...” Tong Tian sighed gently. He was extremely hurt.

“Young master, if you work hard on cultivation, you might not be able to catch up to the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, but you will be able to surpass many others. It’s extremely likely for you to make it onto the Godkings’ Throne in the future,” said Qin Zheng encouragingly.

Tong Tian was unaffected. “The Godkings’ Throne? So what? It’s just an opportunity for those Godkings who like to show off to make a name for themselves. Look at brother Jian Chen. He never attempted the Godkings’ Throne, but he killed many supreme Godkings when he was a Godking. It’s said that when half of the supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne vanished without a trace, it was directly related to brother Jian Chen as well...”

Very soon, Tong Tian and Qin Zhang arrived at the Tian Yuan clan. They stated their identity and intentions and a guard immediately passed the message on.

As soon as Jian Chen learnt that Tong Tian had come to visit, he sent people to bring him to where he resided.

Jian Chen had always felt grateful towards Tong Tian. When he was still weak and faced life-threatening danger in Godking Duanmu’s dwelling in the past, it was Tong Tian’s sudden appearance that saved him in an overwhelming manner. He even gave him a precious God Tier pill, allowing him to heal from his heavy wounds in an extremely short amount of time.

As a result, Tong Tian had basically saved Jian Chen’s life.

They would naturally have a conversation when they met. After a simple greeting and some talk, Tong Tian directly approached the main reason for why he had come. He mentioned that the Righteous Alliance wanted to ally themselves with the Tian Yuan clan.

Jian Chen had already guessed Tong Tian’s intentions, so he was not surprised at all. However, he did not agree. He shook his head gently and said, “Brother Tong Tian, I’ll be frank. If your Righteous Alliance allies with our Tian Yuan clan, it will probably only be detrimental for you. There won’t be any benefits at all.”
