Chapter 933: The Third Meng Tian!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The night was silent.
However, the pressure that billowed in the air caused the insomnia of the powerful Monsters and Demons who were guarding the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Meanwhile, the same thing happened in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
“What?! He left?” The powerful Monsters and Demons guarding the Nine Pinnacles Mountain looked at each other in shock.
As compared to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the location of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain did not give them more “speculations”.
After all, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain was far from the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Region. It would not be possible for anyone to “pass by” the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
“Leaving after he arrived, what is Meng Tian up to?”
“In which direction did he head to?”
“Not sure, but probably the ‘Ling Xiao Mountain’ because he had disappeared at a place that was closest to the ‘Ling Xiao Mountain’.”
“Ling Xiao Mountain? Send a few people to search for him along the route to Ling Xiao Mountain. Remember, do not get too close to Meng Tian in case he notices that he is being followed.”
“Understood!” A few figures answered before they leaped off the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and disappeared in the dark.
After they disappeared, the powerful Monsters and Demons in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain were deep in thought and could not figure out the reason behind what had happened.
However, someone spoke eventually.
“We need to report this information to Young Lord in the Great Swamp as soon as possible.”
“Yes, that’s right, send the information to Young Lord now!”
...
Yin Yang Hall was built in the mountains. It was nourished by the skies and earth and there were many pharmaceutical lands that made it the best place to hide in the Holy Region.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao Mountain was the tallest mountain that made attacks difficult. It was surrounded by cliffs and there was a circular patch of bare land on the peak of the mountain.
Four pillars stood on the peak of the mountain. Each pillar was made of white jade stone and had black metal chains tied around them. They were the “passageways” that connected to the foot of the mountain.
If there were no gigantic powerful beasts who were capable of flying, one could only use the chains on the four pillars to reach the top of the mountain.
Of course, at this moment, the four pillars were under strict control by the disciples of the three sects as well as a few powerful elders of the three sects.
The night breeze blew.
A night bird that was flying at high speed landed from the sky. It was evident that the peak of the mountain was extremely cold as there was a thin layer of frost on the black feathers of the night bird.
“It’s an urgent report. Guard here and I will notify the alliance leader!” The expression of one of the Yin Yang Hall disciples who was guarding beneath the pillar changed after he retrieved the bamboo tube from the night bird’s feet and ran towards the newly built black stone palace in the center of the peak of the mountain without hesitation.
A moment later, the interior of the black stone palace was lit up.
Troops entered the black stone palace from all directions. Their steps were extremely fast and all of them looked very serious.
Since the battle in the Heaven Zen Mountain, the Godly State experts of the Monster Race and Demon Race continuously descended. The humankind hence formed alliances and decided to make Dao Hun the Alliance Leader and Dao Xin the Military Adviser.
Meanwhile, the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Dao Pavilion Mu Qingfeng, the Valley Master of the Fu Xi Valley Mo Shanshi and the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower Qian Yu were the Vice Alliance Leaders. However, Qian Yu did not agree. After saying “the battle has not ended yet so the outcome is not determined!”, he left with the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower and left Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi behind.
However, despite that, Qian Yu’s position as the Vice Alliance Leader was still retained.
The four sects combined to one and “four troops” were formed, each led by and named after Yin Yang Hall, Fu Xi Valley, Heaven Dao Pavilion and Ling Yun Tower respectively. Dao Hun was the Marshal of the four troops while Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were the Deputy Marshals.
The other leaders and disciples of the various sects were allocated to the four troops and became the Generals.
Of course, as the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower Qian Yu “abandoned his job”, the position of the Deputy Marshal of the Ling Yun Troop was taken over by Yan Qianli. This did not evoke much opposition.
After all, the name of Western Liang Prince Yan was known worldwide. Besides that, there were 3000 disciples of the Shadow Sect Leader so the other leaders of the various sects could only obey the orders.
“Alliance Leader, what’s the matter that made you call for me in the middle of the night?” Mo Shanshi asked Dao Hun immediately after he sat down.
Mo Shanshi was actually reluctant to accept the position of Dao Hun as the Alliance Leader. However, he decided to “concede defeat” eventually, or rather, he did not want to stir up an internal fight of the four sects at this time.
Combined efforts to defend the Monsters and Demons!
This was Mu Qingfeng’s slogan and Mo Shanshi did not oppose to it. It was also one of the reasons why Ling Yun Tower was able to leave blatantly.
Of course, the other sects, including Fu Xi Valley, were unhappy after Ling Yun Tower left and wanted to .watch the scene of a bustle.
After all, it was almost impossible for one sect to defend the powerful Monsters and Demons alone.
“We will win if we joint forces and lose if we separated.”
This was the only sentence Dao Xin said when Qian Yu left with the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower.
After that...
The Heaven Dao Pavilion was invaded.
Fu Xi Valley too.
Three out of the Five Sects of the Holy Region were invaded by the Monster Race and Demon Race. Meanwhile, the territory of the Ling Yun Tower remained uninvaded.
After hearing this news, Mo Shanshi looked up into the sky and cursed, “What the f*ck!”
After that, although Mo Shanshi did not leave the Ling Xiao Mountain, he no longer believed in the ideology of “We will win if we joint forces and lose if we separated.”
“Please wait a moment, Vice Alliance Leader Mo, I will make the announcement after everyone is present.” Dao Hun knew that Mo Shanshi held a “grudge” and that he was extremely impatient. However, he still raised his hand and calmly told him to wait for a little while.
However, after hearing this, Mo Shanshi’s face turned blacker. The words “Vice Alliance Leader Mo” were like needles that pricked him.
He was about to open his mouth when a hand patted on his shoulder.
“Prioritize the interest of the bigger picture.” Mu Qingfeng shook his head at Mo Shanshi.
Although Mu Qingfeng was also unhappy, at least the power of humankind was congregated on the Ling Xiao Mountain and had not suffered great blows till now.
The biggest victory was to retain their powers although they were in an obviously disadvantaged position. That was how Mu Qingfeng comforted himself.
As for the Heaven Dao Pavilion...
Although it was tentatively controlled by the Monster Race and Demon Race, they could take over it once the opportunities are ripe.
One who knows how to endure will make great accomplishments.
“Fine, did you think that I will stir things up? Since when did I not prioritize the interest of the bigger picture? If I didn’t, I would have already left this bloody place!” Mo Shanshi continued speaking at his loud voice as he stared at Dao Hun who was sitting on the seat for the Alliance Leader.
Meanwhile, the other sect leaders of the various sects kept quiet as they watched this scene. After all, they were used to such commotions.
After a short while, the Hall was filled except for one seat. This meant that all the Deputy Marshals of the Human Alliance Troops were present except for Qian Yu.
Dao Hun stood up at this moment and took out three pieces of yellow slips of paper from his long sleeves before placing them on the table in front of him.
However, nobody could see Dao Hun’s expression clearly because of his mask. They could only see his pair of eyes that looked like they were on flames.
“Meng Tian appeared, and he is already... in the Holy Region!” said Dao Hun as he placed the three slips of paper on the table.
After his sentence, all the expressions of the leaders of the various sects, Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng changed.
After all, the news of Meng Tian’s appearance had spread to the Holy Region.
“Where is Meng Tian?” asked Mo Shanshi.
“Heaven Dao Pavilion!” Dao Hun scanned the crowd sitting below and said, “And... Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Fu Xi Valley...”
“Heaven Dao Pavilion? Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Fu Xi Valley? What do you mean?” Mo Shanshi was evidently confused.
The other sect leaders also exchanged glances as none of them understood what Dao Hun meant.
“I mean, Meng Tian had appeared in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Nine Pinnacles Mountain and Fu Xi Valley at the same time. All three locations made the same report at the same time.” Dao Hun held up the three slips of paper and showed them to the crowd.
“Three Meng Tians?!”
“Appeared in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Nine Pinnacles Mountain and Fu Xi Valley at the same time?!”
“What’s going on?”
Everyone watching from beneath became even more confused. After all, it sounded ridiculous.
“He is trying to confuse us!” Just as the rest were confused, a calm voice was heard and a figure stood up from the chair.
It was none other than the Military Adviser of the alliance, Dao Xin.
“Confuse us? You mean Meng Tian did it on purpose?” One of the sect leaders quickly understood what Dao Xin meant.
“Why did Meng Tian do that?”
“Was he trying to hide his whereabouts?”
“I don’t think it’s so simple. With Meng Tian’s powers, if he did not intentionally expose himself, the Monster Race and Demon Race should not be able to track him down.”
Soon, there was a discussion amongst the sect leaders.
“If I am correct, the real Meng Tian should be reaching the Ling Xiao Mountain soon. This is the reason why I called for everyone.” Dao Hun’s voice broke off the discussion.
“Why do I feel that Meng Tian will not come to the Ling Xiao Mountain?” Mo Shanshi pouted and clearly did not agree with Dao Hun.
“Old man Mo!” Mu Qingfeng knew that Mo Shanshi was purposely “finding fault”. He gave a sigh and quietly reminded Mo Shanshi.
“Fine fine fine, so assuming Alliance Leader is correct, what should we do after the real Meng Tian reached the Ling Xiao Mountain? What should we do with the position of the Alliance Leader?” Mo Shanshi waved his hand and said.
“...”
Nobody answered Mo Shanshi. Everyone including Dao Hun fell silent.
That was because although Meng Tian’s arrival was good news to them, the position of the Alliance Leader would become another problem after he arrived at the Ling Xiao Mountain.
The four sects of the Holy Region were established for hundreds of years. They were extremely familiar with the geography of the Holy Region and the situation amongst the Monster Race and Demon Race.
They definitely had an advantage.
However, as the Sagely Battle God who had once stood at the peak of the world, Meng Tian had now also defeated the Godly State Monster Lin Ji and captured Demon Lord from the Blood Shadow City on his own.
With his accomplishments and capability, how could he be inferior to the four sects?
“If he is the real Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, I will definitely give my position to him. However, Meng Tian’s identity is mysterious and he had never revealed his appearance, how can we trust him?” After a long silence, Dao Hun clenched his fist and said.
“Why not?” asked Mo Shanshi.
“What if everything is a scheme?” Dao Hun asked too.
“What scheme?”
“If Meng Tian was a Godly State expert, then the so-called defeat of Lin Ji, capture of Demon Lord could be Yun Qingwu’s plot, and her motive is to infiltrate our alliance and take control of humankind!” said Dao Hun.
“...” Mo Shanshi moved his lips and wanted to speak but eventually did not.
Although he was unwilling to obey Dao Hin, he did not lose his consciousness because of that. After all, Dao Hun’s words did make sense.
Meng Tian’s appearance was way too sudden and coincidental.
The Sagely Battle God who had died for a hundred years was revived out of the blue and had defeated Lin Ji and captured the Demon Lord within a month’s time.
Everything sounded too unbelievable.
Furthermore, none of the people on site saw all of these with their own eyes. The only person who saw everything was Shan Yu, the Queen of the Southern a Region.
Moreover, did Meng Tian sew the big word “God” on the black mask on his face?
If Dao Hun was right and everything was a scheme planned by Yun Qingwu, then Meng Tian’s arrival would be terrifying.
Once the position of the Alliance Leader landed in the so-called “Meng Tian”‘s hands, the future of humankind was doomed.
“You are right, Alliance Leader, before we confirm the identity of Meng Tian, we should not handover the position of the Alliance Leader to him!”
“That’s right, we cannot afford to take the risk!”
“If he is the real Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, he does not necessarily need the position of the Alliance Leader, I think we can give him the position of a Vice Alliance Leader first?”
“But the issue comes if he is not Meng Tian? Then what should we do after he reached the Ling Xiao Mountain? After all, he is a Godly State expert who had split apart the Demonic Hall with a strike of his sword!”
After the silence, voices were heard again.
