Chapter 21: Questioning at Jade Pure Palace, the Great War Approaches

Central Domain.

Divine Land.

Transcendent Force Jade Pure Palace.

Jade Pure Palace is located in a self-created small world.

Here the spiritual energy is rich and thick, far surpassing the other four domains.

"Senior Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Xue saw her senior sister staring off into the distance and asked.

"Since Senior Sister returned from the Eastern Domain, she's always been absent-minded."

"Let me guess."

"Senior Sister, you wouldn't be thinking about the Lord of Azure Cloud, would you?"

Liu Xue asked with a mischievous grin.

"Nonsense."

Leng Bingning quickly came to her senses and said.

"Senior Sister, the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion have arrived."

Liu Xue saw a few people walk in from outside the hall and recognized their identities by their clothing.

"Huh? What are they here for?"

"Our Jade Pure Palace doesn't seem to have any dealings with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Leng Bingning frowned.

"Senior Sister, you forgot?"

"That's to protect the Azure Cloud Sect."

"The Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in the Eastern Domain was killed by the Azure Cloud Sect; you think they came for this?"

"What! No, I have to go see the Master," Leng Bingning said, hastily getting up and running toward the hall.

"Haha."

"Senior Sister, you still say you're not thinking about the Lord of Azure Cloud."

Liu Xue laughed from behind and hurriedly chased after her.

Inside the hall.

"Palace Master, we'll take our leave first."

"Sorry for the disturbance, farewell!"

Leng Bingning and Liu Xue had just arrived when the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had already left.

"Master."

"Bing'er, Xue'er, you've come."

The Jade Pure Palace Palace Master is a middle-aged woman, but her charm remains; her skin is kept as smooth as a maiden's, and time has left no trace on her face.

"Master, why have the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion come here?"

Leng Bingning walked over with her long legs, asking doubtfully.

"It's strange, but the Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion came to ask whether we have any connection with the Azure Cloud Sect of the Eastern Domain."

"These people are truly baffling; our Jade Pure Palace is a grand transcendent force—how could it be connected to a small sect in the Eastern Domain?"

The Jade Pure Palace Palace Master showed slight disdain; after all, our Jade Pure Palace is also a transcendent force of the Central Domain—how could it have any ties to an obscure sect in the Eastern Domain?

"Master… the Azure Cloud Sect has some connection with Bing'er," upon hearing that it was true, Leng Bingning hesitated before speaking.

The Palace Master on the main seat frowned slightly.

"How? Bing'er, do you know the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Upon hearing that, Leng Bingning and Liu Xue told the Palace Master in detail about their experiences in the Eastern Domain and all they had seen of the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Hiss! If that's the case, then the Azure Cloud Sect is worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with our Central Domain's transcendent force!"

"I never expected such a transcendent sect to exist in the small Eastern Domain!"

The Jade Pure Palace Palace Master was astonished, her brows furrowing even more.

"Yes, Master, when I and my senior sister first went to the Azure Cloud Sect, we were shocked everywhere."

"If the Azure Cloud Sect is really as you say, then there's even less to worry about—such a transcendent sect naturally fears nothing from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"But…"

Leng Bingning was about to say more when the Palace Master cut her off.

"No "buts"; if you want to gain our Jade Pure Palace's friendship, you naturally need to show corresponding strength."

Weak sects have no diplomacy; friendship between powers is built on equal strength, involving mutual benefit.

Elsewhere.

Eastern Domain, Overlord Heaven City.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Hall.

"Haha, the Azure Cloud Sect is just bluffing, fooling all of you."

"I'll just say it: how could an obscure sect in the Eastern Domain have any connection with the transcendent forces of the Central Domain?"

The Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion who received the news laughed loudly.

"The main pavilion has already sent word; they sent people to inquire at the Jade Pure Palace, and they basically don't know this Azure Cloud Sect at all."

"The woman who stepped forward that day was merely a pawn found by the Azure Cloud Sect."

"That's great."

"Sir, when will we make our move?"

They could not wait any longer to take revenge.

If by then they could even split the Great Emperor's inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sect, how wonderful would that be.

"Just today."

"My time is precious, and the spiritual energy in this Eastern Region is too scarce."

"If I don't absorb the spiritual energy of the Central Region, I will cough."

"Yes, yes."

The spokesperson of the sects could only accompany with a smile.

Not absorbing the Central Region's spiritual energy makes you cough? If it weren't for seeing your formidable cultivation, I'd definitely let you experience that slapping your face in the Eastern Region hurts just as much as slapping your face in the Central Region.

Soon, all the major forces set out.

The three major hegemonic powers.

Louyang Ge, Blazing Fire Sect, Heaven Sword Sect.

The ten top-tier powers.

Support Yang Sect, Red Law Sect, Ink Sea Sect, Heaven Illumination Sect, Blazing Fire Sect, Blade Sword Sect, Heaven and Earth Society, Beast Taming Sect, Chasing Yang Sect, Sun Moon Divine Cult.

Moreover, there are over twenty first-rate powers.

Under the leadership of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the forces surged like a flood to attack the Azure Cloud Sect.

The colossal warships that blotted out the sky and earth rampaged wherever they went, with crowds of people everywhere.

Everyone wanted to witness this epic battle with their own eyes.

Here they come, here they come!

The forces have mobilized!

Good heavens! So many warships! a man exclaimed.

The people in the city were all shocked by the dense swarm of warships in the sky.

The entire Spirit Prefecture boiled over!

The last time so many major forces besieged a single power was also the last time!

It seems the Azure Cloud Sect is doomed, with so many major forces taking part.

Yeah, the second-rate sects in our city all want to join, hoping to follow the major powers and pick up some leftovers; guess how it went?

They didn't want them at all, and even told them to stay wherever it's cool.

Haha!

At the same time, the Azure Cloud Sect.

Sect Master.

Ancestral elder Li Qingyun respectfully stood behind Feng Qingyang.

His Great Emperor realm divine sense enveloped the entire Eastern Region; every stir of the major forces was already clear to him.

Let's go, it's time to move about.

Since they want to play, my Azure Cloud Sect will gladly keep them company.

Outside the Azure Cloud Mountains.

After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, the forces arrived.

Sir, according to the news, the Azure Cloud Sect is located within this mountain range.

Whooo—

The elder at the front of the warship took a deep breath.

This is truly a blessed land of auspicious feng shui!

The spiritual energy is so abundant.

My cough symptoms have even eased temporarily.

Everyone also quickly sensed it.

!

The spiritual energy here is actually several times that of the outside world!

Everyone had different thoughts, all thinking that after destroying the Azure Cloud Sect, such a treasure land must not be wasted—should we move our own sect here?

If you want to attack the Azure Cloud Sect, you'll have to step over my Lin family's corpses first!

Just then, a sound that shook the clouds came from the east.

A warship came over.

These were the members of the Lin family, a top-tier power that had hurriedly arrived.

Who is this? Courting death?

Yeah, with so many major powers here, they're still coming to seek death.

This scene also bewildered the distant passersby; could it be reinforcements invited by the Azure Cloud Sect?

Looking at the warship's insignia, it seems to be the Lin family, a top-tier clan from Heavenly Martial City.

The Lin family? Why would they help the Azure Cloud Sect?

I heard the Lin family is a subordinate power of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Lin Zhan took the lead, standing at the very front.

Their Lin family has two at the True Person realm, ten at the Transformation Spirit realm, fifty at the Nascent Soul realm, and fifty at the Void Unity realm.

One could say that all the Lin family's experts above the Golden Core realm have been dispatched.

Everyone understood that compared to the major forces, these people are like an egg striking a stone, a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But if the Azure Cloud Sect wins, the Lin family will rise to prominence in a single leap!
