Chapter 2474: Determination and Counteroffensive (1/2)
Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Fire Shrine…
Buildings were bathing in flames. In one place, seven people were seated cross-legged and discussing something.
“Everybody, we failed again. Not only hasn’t Lin Feng died, but the Godly Weapon Master also took him away. The old man of the Fortune Shrine knew that if Lin Feng stayed, we would join hands to kill him,” said someone. Everybody looked at a cultivator in golden clothes; the roc king!
“This time, Brother Roc helped us and tried to take him by surprise, we were sure it would work.”
“Go and try yourself,” the roc king grunted icily.
“Brother Roc, you’re extremely fast. Nobody is faster than you in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. If you can’t kill him by surprise, who can? The Fortune Shrine can predict the future, and are very thoughtful. The problem is that so many peerless cultivators are protecting Lin Feng,” said the Fire Shrine’s Leader, defending the roc king.
“But Lin Feng left, it’s a disaster. The Celestial Sound Shrine and the Earth Shrine are really audacious. They decided to form an alliance with the Fortune Shrine in such circumstances. What do you think we should do?”
“The Celestial Sound Shrine and the Earth Shrine want to bring about their own destruction, so we’ll help them. I’m convinced that if we succeed, the Thunder Shrine and the Soul Shrine will not dare do anything against us ever again,” said the Ice and Snow Shrine’s Leader icily.
“Of course, we can’t offend them yet, otherwise they will directly join the Fortune Shrine’s alliance. We need to succeed and then we’ll talk to them. They will make the right decision if we succeed.”
The leaders of the six Shrines smiled. They could already imagine themselves as the leaders of the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
“Of course, I hope that nobody has doubts amongst us. Forming such an alliance was difficult. If anyone doesn’t do their best, we’ll be in a weak position and we won’t be able to withstand a single attack,” warned the Fire Shrine’s Leader. Everybody nodded slowly, they understood that. The six Shrines’ alliance was something rare, but it could also be destroyed easily. What would happen if anyone stabbed anyone else in the back?
“What should we do first?” asked the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader.
“We need to make some more teleportation portals between our different Shrines, and keep our core disciples in the Shrines to protect us. When we have an opportunity, we can strike,” said the Fire Shrine’s Leader.
“Now is the right time, what do you think?” asked the Dazzling Gold Shrine’s Leader. Everybody looked at him.
“The Fortune Shrine’s alliance is composed of the Fortune Shrine themselves, the Earth Shrine, the Celestial Sound Shrine, the World Clan, and Lin Feng’s few friends. We are six Shrines and the roc king is with us. If we attack them at the same time, what will happen?” said the Dazzling Gold Shrine’s Leader. Everybody’s eyes glittered.
“We could try to attack once by surprise,” said the Fire Shrine’s Leader, after having remaining silent for a few seconds. “The goal should be the Celestial Sound Shrine. Now, get ready to go back, convoke your peerless Saints, and protect your Shrines properly. At the same time, find three peerless Saints to attack. I think that, that way, we won’t suffer any loss. What does everybody think?”
“Alright,” everybody nodded. Every Shrine had to send three peerless Saints, or it would be too difficult.
“Alright, go back, we can talk further using talismans.”
Everybody stood up and used the teleportation portal the Fire Shrine had made to leave for their own Shrines.
Very quickly, only two people were left. They smiled indifferently.
“How strong are you now?” asked the Fire Shrine’s Leader.
“Quite strong. This spell was difficult to learn, but I think I’ll master it soon,” said the Ice and Snow Shrine’s Leader. “What about you? You seem high-spirited and vigorous lately.”
“I’m alright too,” said the Fire Shrine’s Leader smiling. He stood up and said, “You can go back, too.”
