Chapter 100

Liu Mubai's eyes were filled with a cold and sinister look, which was also noticed by Mu Chen. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the gaze he fixed on Liu Mubai gradually turned cold.

No matter what the Liu Domain wants to do, if they try to target our Mu Domain, I will never let them get their way easily!

Liu Mubai seemed to understand the meaning in Mu Chen's eyes and immediately sneered even more. Just you? What are you, anyway? I want to see how pitiful you and your father will look in a moment.

In the grand hall, everyone saw Liu Qingtian appear and hurriedly clasped their fists in greeting. Although the Northern Spirit Region is divided into nine domains, everyone knew that the Liu Domain was the most powerful force in the Northern Spirit Region. In terms of strength, it was likely to be ranked first.

Mu Feng also smiled faintly at Liu Qingtian, arching his hands in greeting, his expression unreadable.

"Hehe, Lord Domain Master Mu Feng has also arrived. I truly appreciate it," Liu Qingtian smiled at Mu Feng, his smile appearing quite amiable, as if all the previous confrontations had been completely erased.

"The Nine Domain Assembly was set by us. Since the Liu Domain is hosting it, we naturally have to come," Mu Feng said with a smile.

Liu Qingtian nodded with a smile.

In the grand hall, the other domain masters and leaders of various forces saw the attitude of the two men and all had somewhat strange expressions. Who in the Northern Spirit Region didn't know that the Mu Domain and the Liu Domain were mortal enemies, each wishing to destroy the other ten times over? The current pretense was somewhat comical.

However, beneath the comedy, their unease grew even more. Liu Qingtian's behavior was too abnormal.

"Hehe, Lord Domain Master Liu, I wonder what major event you are announcing by suddenly convening the Nine Domain Assembly and summoning us all here?" Tang Shan smiled faintly and suddenly asked.

The atmosphere in the grand hall seemed to freeze for a moment, and all eyes were cast upon Liu Qingtian, seated at the head of the hall. Tang Shan's question was clearly what they all wanted to know.

Liu Qingtian looked at the tense gazes and smiled, placing his hand on the armrest and tapping it lightly. "Actually, it's nothing major. I mainly have a proposal and want to seek everyone's opinions."

"Oh? What proposal?" Tang Shan asked with a smile.

Liu Qingtian smiled and said, "Everyone should know that in the Hundred Spirit Heaven, our Northern Spirit Region is just one of the weaker regions. This has made us lack influence. To put it bluntly, if another region were to invade us one day, we would have no resistance and could only surrender our hard-earned territory."

The grand hall fell silent, with many eyes flickering, but no one responded. Clearly, they were unsure of Liu Qingtian's intentions.

"Hehe, Lord Domain Master Liu, you might be overthinking it. Our Northern Spirit Region is in a remote area of the Hundred Spirit Heaven. Why would other major regions bother to invade us?" Tang Shan said, seemingly joking.

"But what if they do?" Liu Qingtian said calmly.

"Lord Domain Master Liu, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense," Mu Feng said with a smile.

Liu Qingtian gave Mu Feng a deep look, the corners of his mouth slowly curling into a smile. "What I want to say is simple. The reason we have no status in the Hundred Spirit Heaven is because we lack strength. And the reason we lack strength is because the Northern Spirit Region is a scattered mess. If all the forces in the Northern Spirit Region could unite, that strength would be significant even in the Hundred Spirit Heaven. At that time, not only would no one dare to invade us, but we could also expand our territory and gain more resources!"

"At that time, who in the Hundred Spirit Heaven would dare to look down on us?"

The grand hall was silent, and many of the leaders of various forces showed a look of shock. Was Liu Qingtian really thinking of uniting all the forces in the Northern Spirit Region? Was he crazy?

"What a grand ambition!"

Mu Chen also let out a cold snort in his heart. Was Liu Qingtian not satisfied with his domain and wanted to become the overlord of the entire Northern Spirit Region?

Mu Feng and the other domain masters had grim expressions, and the other well-known leaders of various forces also fell silent. Who among them was not a seasoned veteran? How could they not sense the hidden schemes in Liu Qingtian's plan?

"Hehe, what do you all think of my proposal? If you think it's not feasible, you can speak up. After all, this is for the future of the entire Northern Spirit Region," Liu Qingtian said with a faint smile, seeing the strange atmosphere.

"Lord Domain Master Mu Feng, what do you think?" Liu Qingtian turned his gaze to Mu Feng and asked with a smile.

Mu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he rubbed the table in front of him, saying with a faint smile, "I wonder what kind of union this would be? Such a union would need a leader to manage everything. Who would take on this role?"

Mu Feng, who had been able to match Liu Qingtian for years without falling behind, was naturally not simple. His question immediately made everyone in the grand hall become more alert.

Who among them was not the leader in their own territory? If they united, wouldn't they have to be subordinate to someone else? There's a saying: 'Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.' They did not want to go from being the leader to being the second, third, or even fourth in command.

"The union is simple. We form a Northern Spirit Alliance, united in attack and defense. As for the position of Alliance Leader, I think Lord Domain Master Mu Feng is quite suitable," Liu Qingtian said with a smile.

Many eyes in the grand hall immediately turned to Mu Feng, but he remained expressionless, smiling insincerely and shaking his head. "I know my capabilities well. I don't have the ability to be the Alliance Leader."

Liu Zong, who had been standing behind Liu Qingtian, suddenly gave a signal to a direction in the grand hall. A leader of a force stood up and said with a smile, "I think Lord Domain Master Liu's proposal is quite interesting. My White Horse Gang is quite in favor of it. As for the position of Alliance Leader, I think Lord Domain Master Liu is the most suitable. After all, everyone here knows the strength of the Liu Domain, and he has credibility. What do you all think?"

Mu Feng secretly sneered but slightly lowered his eyes.

The other seven domain masters also shifted their gazes and remained silent. Although the Liu Domain was indeed the strongest force in the Northern Spirit Region, this strength was not overwhelming. Therefore, it was impossible for them to recognize Liu Qingtian as the Alliance Leader.

Seeing that none of the eight domain masters supported him, Liu Qingtian's smile slightly faded, and he said calmly, "Do you all think the Liu Domain lacks the prestige for this?"

"Lord Domain Master Liu, I have always admired you, but the Liye Domain is something I have worked hard for many years. I have no great interest in this union. If Lord Domain Master Liu insists on forming the Northern Spirit Alliance, I will not participate. Goodbye," a middle-aged man with fiery red hair suddenly stood up, clasped his fists at Liu Qingtian, and said in a deep voice.

"Liye, you dare to show disrespect to the Liu Domain?!" Liu Ming immediately roared.

"Hmph, although I have always been polite to you, it doesn't mean my Liye Domain fears you!" Liye, who had a fiery temper, immediately laughed angrily upon hearing Liu Ming's words, then without further ado, he waved his sleeve and turned to leave the grand hall.

Seeing this, the people in the grand hall began to whisper. With Liye leading the way, Liu Qingtian's plans were likely to fail.

Mu Chen also glanced at Liu Qingtian and noticed that the latter still had a faint smile on his face, but his gaze on Liye was cold and venomous.

"Liye, don't blame me for not warning you. Once you leave here, you will have no more chances," Liu Qingtian said, lowering his head to adjust his sleeves.

"Haha, Liu Qingtian, although I am somewhat wary of you, you don't have the right to say that to me!" Liye laughed disdainfully. He was at the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm, slightly weaker than Liu Qingtian, but if the latter thought he could suppress him, it was a joke.

With that, he took a step out of the grand hall.

Boom!

However, just as Liye took a step out, a low,闷沉的闷响声突然从大殿大门处响起，紧接着，众人便看到一道身影倒飞而出，沿途撞断了几根巨大的石柱，重重地落在了大殿中央。

噗嗤。

那道身影落地时，一口鲜血喷射而出，脸上满是惊骇之色。

哗。

大殿内顿时骚乱起来，一道道目光惊骇地望着地面上那狼狈的烈炎，究竟是什么人能够一招将中神魄境的烈炎伤成这样？

牧锋与牧尘的瞳孔也在此时缩了缩，目光死死地盯着大殿门口，一股不安涌上心头。

柳擎天的面庞依旧淡漠，只是嘴角浮现出一丝嘲讽之色。

沙沙。

大殿外突然传来沙沙的脚步声，听到这脚步声，大殿内的骚乱顿时安静下来，所有的目光都死死地盯着大门处。

在大殿内所有目光的注视下，大殿门口缓缓出现一道干瘦的苍老身影，他身穿灰袍，面容苍老，深陷的眼眶犹如枯尸一般。

灰衣老者面无表情地站在大门处，浑浊的目光缓缓扫视着大殿内的众人，然后他那苍白的手掌缓缓从袖中伸出，轻咳了两声，声音有些沙哑地说道：“今天没有老夫的允许，谁离开这里，那就——”

灰衣老者再度踏出一步，那佝偻的身体中，一股远超神魄境强者的惊人灵力威压，犹如风暴一般，席卷开来。

砰砰砰！

那些靠得近的人，竟承受不住这种灵力威压，身体狼狈地倒射而出。

“死！”

当灰衣老者口中吐出这一个字时，那种灵力威压终于彻底爆发开来，大殿内的地面，一道道裂纹迅速蔓延开来。

大殿外，狂风大作，天空乌云汇聚，整个天地的灵气仿佛都在此时暴动了起来。

大殿内，所有人的面色在此时齐齐剧变。

牧锋紧紧抓住扶手，牙齿紧咬着，嘶哑的声音从牙缝间带着一些震动，一个个地蹦了出来。

“柳惊山三天之境！”

Boom!

However, just as Liye took a step out, a low,闷沉的闷响声 (low, heavy thud) suddenly sounded from the entrance of the grand hall. Then, everyone saw a figure flying backward, crashing through several massive stone pillars, and landing heavily in the center of the grand hall.

Spit.

As the figure landed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face was filled with shock.

Rustle.

The grand hall immediately fell into chaos, and many eyes looked at the battered Liye on the ground with horror. Who could have injured Liye, a mid-stage Divine Soul Realm expert, with just one move?

Mu Feng and Mu Chen's pupils also constricted, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the grand hall, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.

Liu Qingtian's face remained calm, but a mocking smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Squeak.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the grand hall. Upon hearing the footsteps, the chaos in the grand hall immediately subsided, and all eyes were fixed on the entrance.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the grand hall, a gaunt, elderly figure in a gray robe slowly appeared at the entrance. His face was withered, and his sunken eyes looked like those of a corpse.

The gray-robed old man stood at the entrance, his expressionless face slowly scanning the crowd in the grand hall. Then, his pale hand slowly emerged from his sleeve, and he coughed lightly, his voice hoarse as he said, "Today, without my permission, whoever leaves here will—"

The gray-robed old man took another step forward, and from his hunched body, a powerful spiritual energy pressure far exceeding that of a Divine Soul Realm expert surged out like a storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those who were close to him could not withstand the spiritual energy pressure and were thrown backward in a sorry state.

"Die!"

As the gray-robed old man uttered this word, the spiritual energy pressure finally erupted completely, and cracks rapidly spread across the floor of the grand hall.

Outside the grand hall, a fierce wind began to howl, and dark clouds gathered in the sky. The spiritual energy of the entire world seemed to be in turmoil at that moment.

Inside the grand hall, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Mu Feng tightly gripped the armrest, his teeth clenched, and a hoarse voice, tinged with tremors, escaped from between his teeth, word by word.

"Liu Jingshan, Third Day Realm!"
