Chapter 1392 The Once Younger Generation (2/2)

Sect master Qing Yang stood up and cupped his hands together at Zhou Yuan. Although Zhou Yuan used to be a disciple of the Cangxuan Sect, his current strength was sufficient for him to stand as equals to the sect masters. Hence, sect master Qing Yang made sure to give him the proper respect.

“Zhou Yuan, welcome back to the Cangxuan Sect,” said sect master Qing Yang with his all too familiar kindly smile.

Zhou Yuan also cupped his hands together in response and smiled, “Sect master has grown much stronger in the many years since we’ve last met.”

The other three sect masters also rose to their feet and cupped their fists together at Zhou Yuan. “We thank you for coming to Cangxuan Heaven’s aid.”

The reinforcements brought by Zhou Yuan had recently entered the various battlefields and swiftly stabilized the situation in Cangxuan Heaven. This made the various factions rejoice and breathe sighs of relief.

“Cangxuan Heaven is also part of the all-heavens. The Sacred Race is behing the Sacred Palace’s recent activities and the all-heavens will naturally not idly sit by and watch. The reinforcements were sent by the Omega Shrine’s prime sovereign Jin Luo.” Zhou Yuan did not take credit of course and told them the truth.

As the leaders of the Cangxuan Heaven’s great sects, sect master Qing Yang and the others were naturally aware of the Omega Shrine’s existence. They knew that it was the all-heavens highest power whose sole goal was to resist the Sacred Race.

The four sect masters sighed and shamefully said, “Cangxuan Heaven has become a burden to the all-heavens.”

Sect master Qing Yang shook his head before smiling at Zhou Yuan. “Zhou Yuan, please seat yourself so we can start the discussion.”

He pointed towards an empty table.

Zhou Yuan nodded and his figure disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already seated behind the long table.

The other four sect masters also seated themselves as their expressions became solemn. They knew that the real show was about to start.

“Sect masters, I’m sure you guys understand Cangxuan Heaven’s current situation better than myself. The Sacred Race is secretly directing the Sacred Palace from the shadows, and they are definitely up to something.” Zhou Yuan wasted no time beating about the bush.

The four sect masters nodded with grave expressions.

“The Sacred Palace has been growing increasingly powerful over the past few years and is no longer a faction any of the other great sects can face alone. Although the sects have shown signs of cooperation, it is not enough. The sects are unable to act as one proper entity and fight their own battles. This is one of the reasons why the Heavenly Ghost Sect was wiped out.”

Zhou Yuan’s gaze swept across the hall, a feeling of oppressiveness spreading from his calm voice that made the four sect masters’ hearts shiver.

“Although I do not know what the Sacred Race is up to, the more unknown something is, the more dangerous it is. We cannot keep wasting time with the Sacred Palace and must end this chaos as soon as possible or Cangxuan Heaven will only be in more and more danger.

“Hence, I suggest we establish the Cangxuan Alliance with the four great sects as its leaders. We will absorb the other Cangxuan Sect factions and consolidate our power to launch a counter attack on the Sacred Palace and destroy it!”

Zhou Yuan’s resolute voice echoed in the hall, causing everyone to look at him in astonishment.

The hall was silent for a time.

Zhou Yuan was not the first to suggest an alliance against the Sacred Palace. Others had brought similar suggestions up before, but they had ultimately been shelved.

It was because an alliance naturally required a clear leader. The four great sects were of similar strengths and had clashed repeatedly over the years. Despite gradually being forced to stand together in recent times due to the threat of the Sacred Palace, none of the four would properly acknowledge another as the leader.

Hence, such suggestions had always ended up being thrown to the side until being brought up again by Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan observed the four sect masters’ changing expressions. He lowered his eyes and calmly said, “I know what the biggest problem is, hence, I would like to nominate myself as the first alliance leader.”

In the hall, everyone’s eyes grew even wider.

They stared at the young face in astonishment. Was this not saying that since they refused to acknowledge one another, he would be their boss because he could subdue them all?

What a crazy fellow!

Sect master Qing Yang, Liu Lianyi, Lin Jun and the other peak masters stared at Zhou Yuan in shock. Only now did they finally feel his domineering and overbearing aura...

A sudden realization finally dawned upon them. This person was no longer the hardworking young man of the Cangxuan Sect...but the number one expert under the Saint stage in the all-heavens!
