Chapter 408: Three Major Powers (1/2)

Two days later.

At the southern end of the Tripartite Alliance Territory. Unlike the other three directions, there existed no territory gate in this direction.

There were only numerous mountains and hills, completely surrounded by desert, which has given off a threatening feeling of desolation and loneliness. This was also the reason why this region was named as the Desolate Plains.

The sky was shining blue but the atmosphere was so hot from the scorching sands that even smoke filled the surroundings. The resulting heat produced vapor as it evaporated above.

Suddenly, a figure appeared above in an instant. He stood there and gazed at the mountains in front of him before waiting for a while.

Time passed.

That 'while' he waited lasted for another day before two other figures appeared beside him.

”You two took long enough...” Spoke the man who first arrived, his countenance slightly pale while the scorching hot land did nothing to him when it could make Seventh Stage Experts uncomfortable.

From the two other figures who appeared, a middle-aged man spoke, ”We already know that the difference in each direction to this place is vastly different, so why are you trying to take a jab at us for no reason, Dian Alstreim?”

He looked strong, tall and rough on the edges but was still attractive enough to be looked twice by women, especially if they know about his status.

”Spare your smart words, Xanbas. Your Martial Overlord cultivation is as useless as ever.” Dian Alstreim indifferently spoke, as if doing this was just a chore for him.

The last figure who was silent all this time was a middle-aged lady with a white veil. She spoke nothing but stepped forward and moved ahead towards the mountains.

Suddenly, her figure disappeared as a ripple spread out as if distorting the space before the waves vanished.

Dina Alstreim and Xanbas, both of their pupils shook as they had her figure etched on to their souls. She was so elegant and gorgeous as the snow that they would give almost 90 percent of their lives to earn her favor.

Xanbas snorted as he followed her trail while he too disappeared into the mountains.

Dina Alstreim had a calm expression on his face as if nothing could faze him. He had waited here for a whole day and during that time, he did absolutely nothing.

The level of calmness he achieved had already peaked for his current cultivation. In other words, his willpower was undoubtedly tempered to a great level.

Even so, he still couldn't take his thoughts off that woman.

He took a step forward while showing no emotions and reached the place where they disappeared.

His mouth stretching in a sigh while his figure vanished into the mountains.

======

In a palace-like structure, an empty hall.

Seated below the middle of a chandelier that was above is a middle-aged man.

He sat crossed legged and seemed to be cultivating with a small object in his hands. It looked like an ingredient, kind of like fruit.

The small object glowed as it shrank at a faster rate, its efficacy coursing towards the man's glabella. The middle-aged man's eyes quivered while he let out a groan as if experiencing pleasure.

A few minutes passed like this and three figures appeared in the hall but stayed silent as the did nothing. They only patiently waited, not daring disturb the person who was cultivating.

Soon, the small object in the person's palm turned into ashes while the remains fell over the surface, scattering all over the place.

The person opened his eyes as he lightly laughed, ”For all of you three to be here at the same time in your soul bodies, it looks like you three are as cautious as ever.”

The middle-aged woman replied first, ”We expect to discuss our contract in a place of fairness, so it is not too much to ask your esteemed Soul Emperor to exit your grand abode.”

His eyes glinted as his figure shook, ”Very well.”
