747 Alliance (1/2)
River Palace's main hall.
The eight Gods sat down with a spread of delicacies before them.
Of course, they were a level lower than the fine wine and food that Mountain God Huo had served before. After all, Fang Yuan had just became a River Earl and did not have much time for accumulation. However, the Gods did not eat much; instead, all their focus was placed on the two Mountain Gods that had come last.
The Mountain Gods of Mount Peace and Mount Cloud Top seemed like barbarians with their tiger skin loincloths and overbearing actions. ”River Earl Surging Waters, you and Mountain God Huo killed the Heaven Immortal of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, Bai Jianfei, and created huge trouble. That's why you have to find us for help, right?”
”We don't care if you're in trouble, but trying to drag us into it, you have ill intentions!”
…
Once the two Mountain Gods sat down, they immediately exposed what Fang Yuan and Mountain God Huo had planned, creating uproar among the four River Gods.
”What? They actually killed Bai Jianfei?”
The three siblings were shocked as they looked at each other. ”Even if we worked together in our deity territories, we might not be able to deal with a Heaven Immortal. He's a grade higher than us!”
”Good kill!” The tanned god, River Earl Jing, burst into laughter as he clapped his hands. ”The Spiritual Flying Sword Sect is so rampant, they deserve this retribution!”
He looked toward Mountain God Huo and Fang Yuan, his gaze filled with admiration, and gave a thumbs-up. ”I've long thought about giving them some payback, but to think that the two of you took action first. You're true men!”
”Hmph! River Earl Jing! Don't think we don't know that you did something dirty to the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect because of an aquatic treasure. Not only were you injured by Bai Jianfei, your treasure was also taken. Because of this, you were deeply disgraced!”
Mountain God Peace scoffed, ”That was your private grudge. However, this time, it isn't only one person's matter when the Immortal Dao is angry.”
”The Immortal Dao is angry?” After hearing that, Mountain God Huo instantly revealed a cold smile. ”Then wouldn't our Divine Dao be angry? Bai Jianfei attacked my palace first and wanted to snatch my treasure, obviously harboring evil intentions. I was aligned with the heavens in killing him, so who can fault me?”
He was also determined, so he waved his hand and an image appeared. It was shockingly the scene of Bai Jianfei attacking the Mountain God Palace.
Hearing that Bai Jianfei wanted to kill a God to snatch something, the River Goddess siblings did not take well to it. ”He was truly brazen and lawless!”
With solid evidence, the two Mountain Gods had unnatural expressions but continued to refute stubbornly, ”Even so, you didn't have to destroy both his body and soul!”
They did not suspect that the evidence was faked because any false recording done with magical strength would be seen through.
Moreover, Mountain God Huo could swear on his Deity Position, and if it was false, he would immediately fall. With the heavens and the earth as witnesses, it was definitely real.
The eldest sister among the three siblings, River Goddess Flowing Sand said, ”It appears… they didn't do anything wrong!”
These Gods were below Heaven Immortals in rank. Although it was two versus one, they would have been the ones killed if they did not use their full strength, so there was no way to claim that they were too ruthless.
”Thank you for understanding, Goddess!” Mountain God Huo laughed bitterly. ”Although the Heavenly Court won't blame us, the Immortal Dao will definitely seek us for revenge privately. It won't matter if they only come for the two of us, but if they're determined enough, it's possible that they'd sweep away the Divine Dao forces of the Three Mountains and Five Rivers. Therefore, I used this chance at the River Earl's banquet to invite everyone here to discuss a plan.”
”In the end, this is still a problem that the two of you caused!”
Mountain God Peace and Mountain God Cloud Top's eyes glimmered, harboring unknown motives.
Smack!
However, the sitting River Earl Jing could no longer take it. He ruthlessly slammed the wine goblet in his hand onto the table. ”Even without this, the Immortal Dao would still go against us. The two of you nitpicking everything we say, could you have been bribed by the Immortal Dao?”
His appearance was fierce, his eyes were like bronze bells, and his glare was as sharp as a knife.
”Hey! Don't think about slandering us!”
These two Mountain Gods were angered, and the illusion of mountains appeared behind each of them. Their magical strength vibrated, as if they were about to fall out and strike the next moment.
”Everyone!”
At this time, Fang Yuan flung his sleeves.
Buzz Buzz!
The River Earl Palace roared and the Surging Waters River water gushed over endlessly. It rotated around his body, and with unblockable power, he suppressed the uproar.
After all, he was the master of the land. In the Divine Dao, this represented power.
In his deity territory, the other Gods were naturally not his opponent.
However, the two Mountain Gods were fearless. They obviously had someone to count on, and it was enough for them to protect themselves. ”What? River Earl, are you preparing to unfairly take sides?”
”How can you talk about fairness when it's two versus one?” Mountain God Huo ridiculed
”Everyone that came is my guest, and there won't be any fights. We're here to discuss a strategy and not have internal strife. The Immortal Dao would treat us like a joke if so.”
Fang Yuan's voice was clear and beautiful like jade.
