748 Heavenly Edic (1/2)
”Sisters! What should we do?” immediately asked River Goddess Trident, the youngest among them.
”We received a stranger's help when making a breakthrough that time and promised to do him a favor! We each swore upon our own Deity Position, and it was witnessed by the heavens and the earth. We mustn't break the promise!”
”This person doesn't seem like the one who helped us!”
River Goddess White Water said bitterly, ”But the oath we took only applies to the one who can mention it, and it was stipulated as part of the promise. This feels strange, but it may be an ingenious scheme!”
”It seems that this scheme was impressively far-reaching! In this situation, our Deity Positions will be irreversibly destroyed straightaway if we break the promise!”
River Goddess Flowing Sand bowed, the hope in her eyes dying out. ”The Three River Goddesses are willing to acknowledge you as the alliance leader!”
”It's you?!” On the other hand, after that short conversation, River Earl Jing looked furious, but he bowed anyway. ”I will keep my promise and help you once!”
”What about you, Mountain God Huo?”
Fang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Mountain God Huo with an inscrutable smile.
Who would've thought… that River Earl Surging Waves fooled so many Gods and concealed himself in such a flawless manner…
Mountain God Huo shivered at the thought of the stranger that had offered him help.
All this only implies one thing, that somebody must have been scheming for the Three Mountains and Five Rivers. Even this River Earl might be a mere pawn used by an unfathomably potent God!
Sigh… Since I killed that Heaven Immortal, I absolutely won't be spared if I refuse to kneel today!
Without further hesitation, he knelt. ”I will comply with the order of Alliance Leader!”
”What?” Mountain God Peace and Mountain God Cloud Top were both stunned by this series of unforeseen events.
How could all these arrogant Gods with their own networks regard this foreign God as the alliance leader? It felt as if an illusion had befallen them.
But they sensed the absolute danger upon recollecting themselves.
”Could the six Gods have conspired against us?”
”This is a huge trap! We shouldn't have come here today.”
The two Mountain Gods felt awfully regretful.
However, it was incredible that they were not clever enough to detect the conspiracy!
”Five Gods among the Three Mountains and Five Rivers have chosen me as the alliance leader!” Fang Yuan looked at the two Gods calmly with that unchanging, gentle smile. ”What's your opinion?”
”Our opinion is surely…”
The two Mountain Gods exchanged glances, and their magical strength suddenly exploded.
Not only that, but like two dragons darting out of the sea, two sharp swords flew swiftly from their hands toward Fang Yuan.
The Sword Qi was fierce enough to annihilate a God within a single strike!
This was the Sword Qi of Heaven Immortals!
Beyond all doubt, these two Gods were both associated with the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, even possessing the most powerful technique of their Heaven Immortals.
The sudden move just now was palpably meant to kill Fang Yuan once and for all!
Poof!
The Sword Qi concentrated before penetrating Fang Yuan's body and leaving behind two tiny holes.
”Excellent swordsmanship… This is the true swordsmanship of Heaven Immortals. Returning to the basics and appearing mediocre only to explode close to the target…”
Fang Yuan's figure became transparent, but his voice was still full of energy.
”An incarnation? An illusion?”
Realizing that Fang Yuan had fooled them, the two Mountain Gods had an unpleasant look.
The real Fang Yuan casually walked out from the other side and said in a chilling voice, ”It's no wonder you two could be so bold in my God Palace… So you were depending on the Immortal Dao for protection!”
He had merely used an incarnation to elicit the most potent techniques of these two Mountain Gods.
”Traitors! Kneel!”
At this moment, Fang Yuan stretched out his palm indifferently.
Splash!
The deafening noise of torrents immediately flowed from his body.
The inexplicable power struck heavily on both Mountain Gods, forcing them to kneel.
”River Earl Surging Waves… How dare you?”
”You betrayed the Divine Dao and turned to the Immortal Dao. No one in this realm can save you!”
…
Having lost their trump card, the two Mountain Gods were immediately surrounded by a stream of water and forced to kneel.
Despite their posture, they kept on cursing.
Upon hearing that, both River Earl Jing and Mountain God Huo looked slightly uneasy.
It was true. Even the Heavenly Court would not tolerate such an act.
Although the Heavenly Court belongs to the Divine Dao, it isn't actually heaven's will! Fang Yuan dismissed it with a cold sneer, and then said seriously, ”Since you have all greeted me as the alliance leader, I'll take over and merge your authority.”
Meanwhile, a small golden token with glistening ancient characters appeared in his hand.
”This is… from ancient times. Why is it carrying an aura of the Heavenly Dao?”
