272 Alliance Hunt Begins! (1/2)

The Alliance of the Hengliu galaxy was made up of 52 sects.

The Lightning Sword Sect, the Jihan Sect, the Tiansong Sect and the Yunyue Sect were just four out of the 52 premier sects in the Alliance, and they made up less than ten percent of the entire Alliance.

The sect leaders and high ranking elders of the four sects all did not mention the battle between Zhou Donghuang and Mo Yitian when they were interacting with the sect leaders and elders from the other 48 sects. As a result, the other 48 sects did not know how powerful Zhou Donghuang currently was... their understanding of Zhou Donghuang still remained at the point where he had defeated Han Yuzheng, the talented disciple of the Thunder Knife Sect, with just a single blow in the past.

As a member of the Alliance, the Thunder Knife Sect was present as well at the Alliance Hunt.

Han Yuzheng had come as well.

From the looks of it, Han Yuzheng seemed to have matured since the last time where he had visited the Lightning Sword Sect.

When he saw the group of people from the Lightning Sword Sect, his eyes landed on Zhou Donghuang, his eyes filled with a murderous glint.

However, noticing the animosity in his eyes, Zhou Donghuang only casually glanced at Han Yuzheng, then did not pay him any attention at all.

Seeing this, Han Yuzheng was even more furious.

He felt as if he had been looked down upon once again!

”This Zhou Donghuang... does he really think that just because he's mastered Dharma-body integration, he is the most powerful man in this universe? Does he not know that I am already a late Dharma adept?”

However, although he felt extremely displeased, Han Yuzheng was still well aware that since he had reached the late Dharma stage, it was possible that Zhou Donghuang had reached the same stage as well.

After all, Zhou Donghuang was no less talented than he was.

”Ladies and gentlemen.”

The 52 sects of the Alliance had nominated three people to host this Alliance Hunt. These three were the most prominent and the most experienced among the Alliance.

”I believe we do not have to explain more about the Guiyao planet. As for the rules of the Alliance Hunt, I'm sure you have informed all your disciples about them.

”Now, we will check the formations that have been put in place on the Guiyao planet to make sure that there are no Primordial Soul and above adepts or beasts within the planet. After that, our hunt may begin.”

After one of the three hosts had spoken, the three of them immediately flew out in three different directions, like comets streaking through the night sky, straight towards the Guiyao planet.

To the group of Lightning Sword Sect disciples, including Zhou Donghuang, they had been expecting the hosts to do this.

If any person or beast tried to enter the Guiyao planet, the formations would also be destroyed.

Now, the three hosts of the Alliance Hunt had left to check if the formations surrounding the Guiyao planet had been destroyed... once they found out that the formations had been damaged, it would mean that a person at the Primordial Soul stage or above had entered the Guiyao planet. The seniors of the different sects would then have to head into the Guiyao planet to find the intruder.

If it was someone from outside the Alliance who did not know better or a beast that had trespassed onto the planet, that could be forgiven.

However, if it was someone from one of the sects in the Alliance, that would mean that the person was most likely trying to help others from his sect cheat. In this case, based on the rules of the Alliance Hunt, the intruder would have to be killed!

Of course, if one of the sects of the Alliance had bribed some person or beast to enter the Guiyao planet, once this was discovered, everyone would be punished by death!

”Hmm?”

Suddenly, Zhou Donghuang saw three bright sparks appear on the surface of the Guiyao planet, then turn into three bright shimmering streaks of light that flashed through the night sky like comets, disappearing in the distance.

Noticing Zhou Donghuang's quizzical gaze, He Mengxi explained, ”Those three elders entered the Guiyao planet and touched the formation... any beings at the Primordial Soul stage or above would produce such an effect if they enter the formation. Hence, once they can confirm that there are no persons or beasts at the Primordial Soul stage or above on the planet, we can officially begin the Alliance Hunt... During the hunt, there will always be people from the different sects of the Alliance outside the planet, and if anybody at the Primordial Soul stage tries to enter the planet, this will happen.

”Those three elders are all Divine Transformation adepts, and their Divine Will is so powerful that it can cover a vast piece of land of the Guiyao planet... within half a day, they will be able to check the entire planet,” said He Mengxi.

”Mm,” nodded Zhou Donghuang.

At this point, Da Zhuang, who had been standing at the side, could not help but frown and ask, ”Sister, those three elders went in, but what if they themselves cheat? If there are Primordial Soul adepts of their own sects inside the planet, can they make an agreement not to expose each other?”

Once the words left Da Zhuang's mouth, both Zhou Donghuang and He Mengxi looked at him in surprise.

”Da Zhuang, this brain of yours... when did it become so scheming?”

He Mengxi expressed Zhou Donghuang's shock. ”I can't believe you even thought of that.”

”Hehe,” laughed Da Zhuang quietly.

He Mengxi continued, ”Actually, you do not have to worry about this at all. Because at every Alliance Hunt, for the three hosts who entered the Guiyao planet to check, no matter the score that any disciples of their sects have achieved in the end, as long as anyone suspects foul play, they can challenge it. If you win, you will exchange points with the other person.
