Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Gao Yang Alliance Leader

”With your cultivation speed, it won’t be long before you surpass me, and by then, even if I want to help you, there might not be any opportunity to do so.”

At this point, Sister Moon seemed somewhat disheartened. She greatly admired Ling Xiao’s innate abilities, but on the other hand, she felt it was a pity that once she couldn’t protect Ling Xiao anymore, what would she amount to by his side?

”Don’t overthink it, Sister Moon. Now you protect me, later I’ll protect you. Besides, Sister Moon, your strength hasn’t recovered to its peak yet, for me to catch up with you is still very difficult.”

Ling Xiao gently squeezed Sister Moon’s fair jade hand, comforting her.

He, of course, knew what was on Sister Moon’s mind.

He just wanted to tell Sister Moon that it was pointless to have these wild thoughts. The woman Ling Xiao had chosen in this lifetime would never change.

Unless that woman leaves him on her own.

...

The spacious and luxurious hall was bustling with people. Originally meant to be a secret venue for Tian Li Meng in Lanton City, it should have been quieter and more secluded.

However, the current situation seemed otherwise.

Today, the atmosphere here was very lively and festively bustling, as if some great celebration was about to take place.

Those seated in the hall were, upon closer look, influential figures from various places.

Leaders of major resistance organizations from Heavenly Dragon Continent.

Envoys from various nations of Divine Phoenix Continent.

There were even representatives from the Five Immortal Islands.

These people had gathered here not for leisure; in fact, they all shared a common goal – to build connections with Gao Yangwen, the leader of Tian Li Meng.

Today, as Tian Li Meng’s power grew, various resistance forces on the Heavenly Dragon Continent were being absorbed or annexed by him, clearly with an ambition to conquer the realm.

Gao Yangwen might outwardly submit to the True Demon Empire, willing to be a puppet, but his ambition was significant.

He wanted to be the king of Heavenly Dragon Continent, to stand on equal footing with the True Demon Empire. Thus, the first task to tackle was to eliminate the problem of Northern Han Kingdom.

Today’s gathering marked his official commencement as the leader of the Rebel Alliance and naturally was a joyous occasion.

While the Rebel Alliance seemed to be against the True Demon Empire on the surface, interestingly, the strategy set by Gao Yangwen was first to annihilate Northern Han Kingdom, and then to share the realm with the True Demon Empire.

Sitting in the chief seat was Gao Yangwen.

Though he was already in his sixties or seventies, this age, for martial artists, was just their prime.

Dressed in a robe made from expensive fabric, he appeared imposing.

Sitting there, he greeted the visiting guests with clasped hands, clearly enjoying beingheld in such high esteem.

Occasionally, a proud smile flashed across his lips; he must thank the True Demon Empire for getting to where he was today.

Without the True Demon Empire destroying the Sacred Dynasty, his Tian Li Meng would have remained minor and inconsequential.

Of course, he wouldn’t genuinely be thankful to the True Demon Empire, as it was merely a mutual use.

He used the True Demon Empire to deal with the Sacred Dynasty, while the True Demon Empire used him to contain Northern Han Kingdom.

”Envoys from Blackwater Immortal Island, Mr. Zhan Mo has arrived!”

Suddenly, a voice rang from outside, quieting the noisy hall.

Blackwater Immortal Island was a powerful entity among the Five Immortal Islands and also where Gao Yangwen’s Master resided.

Generally speaking, the Five Immortal Islands do not send people for such mundane conflicts, but Blackwater Immortal Island has a special relationship with Gao Yangwen, naturally, an envoy was sent.

Despite the envoy Zhan Mo’s strength being mediocre, merely at the late stage of the First Cave Heaven Realm, the power he represents is tremendously terrifying.

At least on the Divine Phoenix Continent and the Heavenly Dragon Continent, unless someone has gone mad, under normal circumstances, no one would want to provoke them.

With the support of Blackwater Immortal Island, Gao Yangwen, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, feels even more secure. Even the True Demon Empire can do nothing about him, let alone the small Northern Han Kingdom.

”Hahaha, Brother Gao, long time no see. Today, I am here especially on the orders of our sect to congratulate you. Congratulations, Brother.”

Zhan Mo came alone, but the outfit he wore, marked with the logo of Blackwater Immortal Island, made it impossible for him to be underestimated here.

Moreover, his cultivation level isn’t low either; being in the late stage of the First Cave Heaven Realm, aside from Gao Yangwen and a few others present, hardly anyone could be stronger than him.

”Since Brother Zhan is here, there’s no need for gifts, please come in, take the seat of honor!”

Gao Yangwen directly pulled Zhan Mo’s hand, making him sit next to himself.

Although in reality, when he was at Blackwater Immortal Island, his relationship with Zhan Mo wasn’t that good, today, in front of so many people, he still had to put on a show of brotherly affection.

Moments later, another voice sounded from outside.

”Envoy of Northern Han Kingdom, Ling Wuheng has arrived!”

Ling Wuheng?

Hearing this name, Gao Yangwen’s mouth curled up with a smug smile.

Ling Wuheng is a key figure from the Chosen Academy; though his cultivation level isn’t impressive, his relationship with Ling Xiao is very good.

And his status is high.

Today, Ling Wuheng showing up here, does that mean the Northern Han Kingdom is ready to give in?

Hehe, giving in is useless, how could I, Gao Yangwen, be at peace without annihilating your Northern Han Kingdom.

Thinking thus in his heart, Gao Yangwen still allowed Ling Wuheng into the hall.

Since he intended to annihilate the Northern Han Kingdom, why not just use Ling Wuheng as a sacrifice today?

”Pleased to meet the Alliance Leader of Tian Li Meng, congratulations.”

Ling Wuheng did not come alone; following him was an old man, none other than Ling Xiao’s master, Master Baiyun.

”Really didn’t expect that Mr. Ling would condescend to visit my humble abode, truly this brings glory to my simple dwelling.”

Gao Yangwen said with a forced smile, bowed, and then nonchalantly seated Ling Wuheng and Master Baiyun at an inconspicuous place.

After all, they were just here to be sacrificed, not worth making much fuss about.

One by one, those who came were all people with status and crucial for Gao Yangwen.

Only Gao Yangwen’s son, Gao Yangjun, was nowhere to be seen.

Almost everyone who should be there was already in the hall, yet no one noticed that in a hidden spot under the roof eaves, two people were squatting there, closely observing every move inside the hall.

”Didn’t expect even Second Master Ling and my master, Master Baiyun, to come here. Isn’t this like a lamb entering a tiger’s den?”

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.

”Don’t blame them, after all, they don’t understand this Gao Yangwen. In their eyes, to overthrow the True Demon Empire, they must cooperate with Gao Yangwen’s Tian Li Meng.”

Moon Lady explained, ”You see, both of them look resolute and decisive, clearly they know the risks yet still come. If their deaths could awaken the sleeping populace of Northern Han Kingdom, it would be a worthy sacrifice.”
