Chapter 2617: Xu Zhiping Takes Part
Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping nodded. They agreed with Sha Yun’s words very much.
“We have to properly support Gongsun Zhi before he completely matures. We have to let him understand that our Midheaven clan, Xu family, and Divine Blade sect completely stand with him. Only when he treats us as the only people he can trust will he be willing to give the three remaining protector swords to the juniors of our organisations without worry. The protector swords are so powerful such that we can’t afford to miss out on them,” said Huangfu Guiyi.
“The protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall don’t have harmonious relationships with one another. Bai Yu, Han Xin, and Donglin Yanxue form one group. The father-son duo, Xuan Zhan and Xuan Ming, do not seem to take a stance. They seem to be neutral. Although Gongsun Zhi possesses the most powerful protector sword, he’s alone. At a time like this, he needs people he can trust. Our three organisations can serve as what he can rely on the most. Aside from the Celestial Sword Saint, there’s probably no other organisation that can fend off the three of us combined on the Desolate Plane. As a result, the three remaining protector swords are definitely ours,” Xu Zhiping said confidently.
This was confidence that came from great strength, as no other peak organisation on the Desolate Plane could contend with his Xu family aside from the Midheaven clan.
Their Xu family possessed two Grand Primes. Apart from Xu Zhiping, there was a Second Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
At the same time, the Gentle Breeze Ancestor, Wu Lu, Gong Ji, Chengfeng Yun, and He Yidao stood together in the protective formations of the Four Symbols Alliance. They hovered high in the air as their eyes shone with excited light. They stared right at outer space.
“I never thought, I never thought the enemies of the Martial Soul lineage would actually come at a time like this. This is fantastic. This is utterly fantastic. It looks like even the heavens are assisting us,” Gong Ji said excitedly. She looked at Gongsun Zhi, who was fighting against Yue Chao in outer space. Although she did not recognise Gongsun Zhi, she had begun treating him as the person who had saved her life.
“It looks like the threat of the Martial Soul lineage has been resolved. I really never thought that two experts like this would appear on our Cloud Plane,” the Gentle Breeze Ancestor added. He stared at Huangfu Guiyi, Xu Zhiping, and Shang Yun and became rather stern, “Two of them are Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Either one of the two are more powerful than the Heavenless Demon Exalt.”
“What? Two Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes?” He Yidao was surprised when he heard that, and he could not help but cry out. Afterwards, he began to ravish with joy.
At the same time, the treasured members of the Blood Sun Empire were about to retreat under the Blood Emperor’s secret arrangements. They wanted to flee the Cloud Plane to avoid this crisis and preserve some survivors.
The Xi Emperor did not leave. Instead, he remained in the throne room that represented great authority in the Blood Sun Empire with great composure. It was as if he wanted to prevent the ninth prince from slipping away during the retreat.
The Blood Emperor’s expression was frigid and terrifyingly sunken the entire time. The Xi Emperor’s actions severely challenged the dignity of the Blood Sun Empire. He did not take the Blood Sun Empire seriously at all, so he made the Blood Emperor furious.
However, their remaining two ancestral emperors were both in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance, ready to fight in a battle to the death against the Righteous Alliance. The current Blood Sun Empire did not possess anyone who could fend off the Xi Emperor with his cultivation as a Chaotic Prime.
As a result, the Blood Emperor could only yield to the pressure from the Xi Emperor.
However, at this moment, Gongsun Zhi and the Martial Soul lineage’s battle attracted the attention of the Xi Emperor and the Blood Emperor. The Xi Emperor suddenly frowned and immediately looked at outer space. He gradually became stern.
As for the Blood Emperor, he completely changed from his previously gloomy demeanour. His face lit up as he looked at outer space with shining eyes. Even though he was unable to see everything as clearly as the Xi Emperor, he was still able to see some things.
“Hahahaha, it looks like the Martial Soul lineage has quite a few enemies in the Saints’ World. They’re proactively looking trouble with the Martial Soul lineage, so it looks like the Martial Soul lineage’s opponents are nothing but extraordinary.” the Blood Emperor laughed aloud. All his gloom had vanished.
“With such a sudden change in the situation, who do you think will be the final victor now, Xi Emperor?” The Blood Emperor looked at the Xi Emperor mysteriously. He felt uncontainable satisfaction when he saw how stern the Xi Emperor had become.
The outcome of the battle between the two alliances directly affected the fates of their two everlasting empires.
“Senior Huangfu, senior Xu, senior Sha, what are you waiting for? Trap down this person quickly. He escaped last time. I have to kill him personally this time.” At this moment, Gongsun Zhi’s vexed voice rang out from outer space.
“Don’t worry, leader, we’ll come help you right now!” Xu Zhiping laughed aloud. He finally stopped holding back. His cultivation erupted violently, immediately forming a terrifying storm of energy that caused the ground to crack and the mountains to tremble. It made the expressions of Tong Wuming, Lieyan Wuji, and Zhou Zhidao all change drastically.
“The Fourth Heavenly Layer! A Grand Prime of the Fourth Heavenly Layer!” The three of them cried out as their faces became extremely ugly.
The Fourth Heavenly Layer was mid Grand Prime. This difference was definitely greater than the difference between the First Heavenly Layer and the Second Heavenly Layer or the Second Heavenly Layer and the Third Heavenly Layer.
Across all these years, the Cloud Plane only had a single mid Grand Prime expert, the Heavenless Demon Exalt of the Tian Empire.
Even though the Heavenless Demon Exalt was already dead, everyone still remembered his influence. Now that an expert on the same level as the Heavenless Demon Exalt had appeared here, the hearts of the experts from the Righteous Alliance all sank.
On the Martial Soul Mountain, Hun Zang and Chu Jian became stern as well. Naturally, there was no reason for them to fear Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi on any other day, but they were wrapped up in a battle with the Four Symbols Alliance right now. If these two took part, many unknown variables would appear.
“Xu Zhiping, Huangfu Guiyi, Sha Yun, your three organisations have always been uninvolved with the matters of our Martial Soul lineage. Why must your three organisations get involved just because of Gongsun Zhi?” Hun Zang said sternly.
“Hun Zang, speak no more. In the past, we were unwilling to offend your Martial Soul lineage because the price would be far too great. However, it’s different now. Your Martial Soul lineage will become a matter of the past,” Xu Zhiping said indifferently. He took a step and immediately appeared in outer space. Erupting with terrifying energy, he directly sent a palm strike towards Yue Chao.
