Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1397: Land of Conquest! (Third Update)

”Yean Chihuo, if you have something to say about me, address me directly. There’s no need for sarcasm.”

Hui Yue Saintess remained expressionless, as calm as an ancient well, and said indifferently, ”A mere Outer Disciple trespasses my Phantom Moon Temple. If I wish to deal with it, I can. It’s not for your Flowing Fire Hall to intervene!”

”Humph, if that Outer Disciple was just an ordinary Disciple, you could handle it as you please. But this person is ranked seventy-second on the Creation Star List. With the status of a Creation Star List elite, can’t he even set foot on your Phantom Moon Temple’s grounds?”

The Flowing Fire Hall Master sneered, ”What? Is your Phantom Moon Immortal Island’s land more noble than the other seven islands in the Heavenly Realm?”

”If you’re not convinced, we can settle this directly, and it can give me a chance to learn from Junior Yean’s Xuan Flame Fire Force!”

Hui Yue Saintess slightly furrowed her Fong Mu eyes, a hint of anger flashing across.

”Bring it on, do you think I’d be afraid of you?” The Flowing Fire Hall Master knew he was no match, but as a hall master, he couldn’t afford to lose his demeanor.

”Enough!”

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor’s voice turned cold as he sternly rebuked, ”Two hall masters publicly challenging each other—what kind of decorum is that? Are you ignoring my authority as Sect Leader?”

The Flowing Fire Hall Master and Hui Yue Saintess both let out a cold snort and said no more.

The other hall masters shook their heads with wry smiles. This Yean Chihuo has always been this way, and it’s not necessarily aimed at Hui Yue Saintess. In fact, in the Eight Halls, apart from the always mild and unassuming Biluo Saintess, Yean Chihuo has picked fights with more or less every other hall master before.

”The matter of the Blood Shadow Alliance, though important, cannot be rushed.”

Finally, the Blazing Sun Temple Master slowly spoke, ”Junior Yean, I understand your feelings, but this gang of thieves is exceedingly cunning, so you can’t blame Junior Hui Yue.”

”As for that Outer Disciple, he is somewhat related to Elder Turtle. Junior Hui Yue should not be too harsh considering the bigger picture.”

”Humph!” The Flowing Fire Hall Master snorted softly without further comment.

Hui Yue Saintess also nodded slightly and said calmly, ”Hui Yue knows what to do.”

In her heart, Hui Yue Saintess wished to drive Ling Feng out as soon as possible. This small Outer Disciple surprisingly had close relations with both her daughter and her direct disciple. Just this fact made her consider killing Ling Feng.

”Since the Blood Shadow Alliance has been pressuring us till the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond’s doorstep, without retaliation, the world would think our Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond fears them. Junior Brother Shen, you and Junior Yean are tasked to assign Disciples, gather intelligence, and strengthen defenses to prevent any unknown forces from approaching within a hundred miles of the Immortal Pond!”

”Yes!”

The Blazing Sun Temple Master bowed to take his leave, while Yean Chihuo also nodded, feeling that his uproar had not been in vain.

”Thus, the meeting is adjourned. With the Three Saints Chosen approaching, it is time for each hall master to encourage their Disciples to cultivate diligently to gain more positions for Sunset Ancient City’s quotas.”

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor declared loudly, throughout appearing like a scholarly gentleman. If one didn’t know his identity, they might genuinely take him as an ordinary school teacher.

”Yes!”

All the hall masters responded in unison and were about to leave when suddenly, the void rippled violently. A flaming fireball flew out from the void, directly toward the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor!

”Hmm?”

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor remained unfazed, raising his hand to grasp the fireball mid-air, causing the flames to quickly extinguish.

A fiery red Jade Pendant emerged from the extinguished flames, emitting intense heat.

”Void Fire Jade!”

Yean Chihuo’s expression changed slightly, ”Isn’t this the emergency signal from the Land of Conquest? Could something have happened in the Land of Conquest?”

All hall masters’ expressions turned solemn. The Void Fire Jade was always entrusted to an Elder guarding the Land of Conquest, whose status, though not within the Eight Halls, was equal to that of a hall master.

He could vaguely be seen as the ”Ninth Hall” master.

And this Ninth Hall was the Hall of Conquest established by the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond in the Land of Conquest.

For many years, the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond has dispatched elite disciples to guard the Land of Conquest, resisting the Northern Barbarians and thereby maintaining relative stability within the Eastern Spirit Domain.

The Barbarians are nomadic tribes from the northern land of wolves and tigers, known for their ferocity and bloodthirst. Their threat surpasses even that of the Demon Clan!

These Barbarians excel in pest control, poison use, witchcraft, and other evil techniques. Even the strong from the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond need to be exceptionally cautious against them.

Several centuries ago, the Barbarians took advantage of the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond’s resistance against the Demon Clan, exploited weaknesses, broke through the defenses of the Land of Conquest, and launched a major invasion. In less than a few months, they caused the deaths of nearly five million people in the Eastern Spirit Domain!

Subsequently, the Eight Hall Masters of the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond mobilized their entire forces to drive out the Barbarians. Since then, although disturbances occasionally occurred in the Land of Conquest, there were no significant battles.

Therefore, the Land of Conquest became a training ground for the Disciples of the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond. Slaying Barbarians could also be used to exchange for sect Contribution Points.

However, slaying Barbarians posed high risks with relatively low rewards, so few were willing to undergo training in the Land of Conquest. Most were directly assigned by the sect to serve, similar to military service.

Generally, every Disciple of the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond, sooner or later, had to be stationed at the Land of Conquest for two years. This was a duty of being a Disciple of the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond. Naturally, the Contribution Points for killing Barbarians were fully allocated.

”The Elder guarding the Land of Conquest has even released the Void Fire Jade, which looks like the situation is dire!”

The Blazing Sun Temple Master frowned slightly, while the other hall masters turned their focus intently on the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor.

It could be said that the Land of Conquest served as a protective barrier for the entire Eastern Spirit Domain. Once breached, a catastrophe would inevitably follow within the Eastern Spirit Domain.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor’s expression was equally grave as he crushed the Fire Jade. A vague fiery red silhouette projected in the void.

”Sect Leader, grave news! The Barbarians have colluded with the Northern Demon Clan and are launching a major offensive on the Land of Conquest. Three Emperor Level Elders have fallen, with hundreds of Human Emperor Level elites injured. King-level disciples, casualties exceed a thousand! The Land of Conquest is hanging by a thread. Requesting urgent support from the sect!!”

Crack—

The Jade Pendant shattered.

The atmosphere in the chamber suddenly became overwhelmingly tense!

”The Northern Demon Clan and the Northern Barbarians, who have always been hostile to each other, have surprisingly allied together!”

The Blazing Sun Temple Master furrowed his brows deeply. The Northern Demon Clan and the Northern Barbarians have always been grave threats to the Eastern Spirit Immortal Pond. Now, the alliance between these two calamities and their sudden attack makes the situation in the Land of Conquest truly bleak.

”In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only perpetual interests. It seems that the old Demon Flood Dragon King who opposed the Barbarians has likely perished. The new Demon Emperor, successor to the old Demon Flood Dragon King as the Northern Demon Clan’s ruler, has accepted the alliance with the Barbarians.”

The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor’s expression was stern as he slowly said, ”This matter cannot be delayed! Issue my orders, effective immediately, cease all external sect tasks. The Eight Halls of the Heavenly Realm, simultaneously release a Super A-level Task to repel the Northern Barbarians!”
