Chapter 3763: Spot
Chapter 3763: Spot
The atmosphere throughout the entire hall immediately became even more serious than before. If it was only the Void-perceiving sect and the Wukun Master, then the Immortal Rising City still had a chance at survival even if they stood no chance. There would still be hope of rising up in the future and getting revenge.
But if the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment joined in, then all hope was lost.
“The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s Energy-devouring Furnace is the bane of all formations. Now that they have the Energy-devouring Furnace, our protective formation can last a month at most,” said vice city lord He Luo.
“The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is beyond what we can deal with. Even if you successfully break through with this opportunity, you won’t be the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s opponent, big brother.”
“Don’t tell me we have to rely on the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance?”
For a moment, multiple opinions were raised. The ancestors of the eight organisations argued with great intensity. Some of them had already begun considering the conditions put forward by the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance.
“City lord, the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance has sent someone with a message!” At this moment, an Immortal Monarch rushed in. He bowed down with his fist clasped, offering up a jade slip.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu reached out; the jade slip immediately flew into his hand. As he sent the senses of his soul inside, his face immediately sank. He said slowly, “The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance has said that they can’t help our Immortal Rising City anymore.”
With that, the hall that already had an extremely heavy atmosphere suddenly fell deathly silent.
Whether it was the two vice city lords or the ancestors of the eight organisations, their hearts all weighed heavily.
“Sigh, with the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance’s strength, the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is no different from an ant to them. However, with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment joining in on the feud, we no longer possess sufficient leverage to hire the experts of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. Even if we offer up everyone here, we have no right to make the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance deal with the consequences of this.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sighed gently. He was filled with a very deep sense of helplessness.
Shortly afterwards, he waved his hand and said to everyone, “Disperse, everyone. Go back and make your preparations. Prepare for the worst case scenario.”
Shortly afterwards, the ten Immortal Emperors gathered in the hall all stood up. After clasping their fists towards Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, they left with heavy hearts.
Only Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was left sitting in the majestic hall. He looked at the situation outside the formation. His helpless gaze was filled with a great unwillingness to accept this.
At this moment, the Immortal Monarch who had delivered the message from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance walked in again. His expression was rather strange. He bowed towards Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and clasped his fist.” Sir, an immortal by the name of Yang Yutian wishes to see you. He claims that he might have a way to assist you in surviving this.”
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s expression did not change at all. He said gently, “With the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment joining in now, even if someone can actually assist us in surviving this disaster, our Immortal Rising City won’t be able to afford the price. Send him away!”
When he heard that, the Immortal Monarch old man who remained with his head lowered hesitated. After deliberating for a moment, he said carefully, “Sir, please hear me out.”
The old man paused. Seeing how Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was very patient, he gathered his courage to say, “In my opinion, since the visitor is bold enough to claim that he can assist our Immortal Rising City in surviving this disaster at a time like this, it means he must be from some peak organisation. His strength cannot be underestimated. Even if he might make exorbitant demands, we can just turn him down when he does.”
“However, if we turn him away at the door like this, it is still rudeness on our behalf. If he ends up developing ill will because of this, then we are without a doubt making another powerful enemy unintentionally.”
“The situation of our Immortal Rising City is not optimistic. It truly would be inconvenient if we offended another organisation over some small details.”
When he heard that, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Since he’s confident enough to resolve the danger we face today, his origins must be impressive. No matter how outrageous his demands are, we still need to handle him with courtesy.”
“Go and bring in the guest!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu immediately ordered.
The Immortal Monarch left with the orders. Before long, he brought in Jian Chen who had disguised himself with the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race.
“I am Yang Yutian. Greetings, city lord!” Jian Chen stood in the centre of the hall and clasped his fist towards Immortal Exalt Tan Yu with composure.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu looked at Jian Chen and discovered that he could not see through his strength at all. He could not even sense a hint of his presence.
“Looks like you possess a special treasure or an exceptional masking technique. I can’t see through you at all,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said calmly.
“You would be correct, city lord. I do indeed possess a special treasure that can mask my presence.” Jian Chen admitted openly.
“On the Hall Brilliance Heaven, there are countless people called Yang Yutian. As a matter of fact, even in my Immortal Rising City, there are many people with the same name and surname. However, there are no experts who share that name among the peak organisations that I know of. May I ask which organisation you come from, fellow?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said. As an Immortal Exalt who had led an entire city for many years, he naturally radiated with a sense of pressure.
“The organisation I come from is not important. What is important is that I might be able to resolve the danger you face today,” Jian Chen said.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu narrowed his eyes. He could not help but study Jian Chen closely. “Are you saying that you’re capable of resolving the problems that our Immortal Rising City is facing?”
“That’s right. I can help you settle these problems, but I have a condition,” said Jian Chen.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s eyes shone. He said slowly, “This is as big as our Immortal Rising City gets. If your conditions are too stringent, then we’re afraid we’ll have to disappoint you, fellow.”
“A single page of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture can allow three people to enter the miniature world opened up by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable. May I ask if the spots corresponding to your page of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture have all been filled?” Jian Chen asked.
“They’ve all been filled. I’ve already promised the other two spots to other people. They are the city lord of the Yi Immortal City, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, and the city lord of the Azure Afterglow City, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao,” said Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.
Jian Chen obviously knew about the Yi Immortal City and the Azure Afterglow City. There were a total of three great immortal cities on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. These three immortal cities all had Immortal Exalts.
They happened to be the Immortal Rising City, the Yi Immortal City, and the Azure Afterglow City!
The three cities were no different from everlasting empires. They occupied a startling expanse of land and were littered with various organisations of different sizes.
At this moment, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu continued, “You’re asking about the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. Don’t tell me you’ve also come because of it, fellow?” A hint of caution flashed through Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s eyes when he mentioned that.
Jian Chen nodded and said, “I want a spot from the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. If you agree, I’ll deal with the dangers you’re facing today!”
“You only want a single spot?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was surprised. He had thought that he would make outrageous demands or make him hand over the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. He never imagined that his conditions would be so simple, only asking for a single spot.
He had not anticipated that.
“Yes, I only want a spot. Apart from the spots to the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, there’s nothing else in the Immortal Rising City that interests me,” Jian Chen said.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu smiled resplendently. He did not know where Jian Chen found the confidence to say that he could deal with the dangers right now, but giving him a spot was far too easy.
“I’ve already promised these two spots to the city lords of the Yi Immortal City and the Azure Afterglow City, but given the current situation, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to take back one of these spots to save the Immortal Rising City. As a result, the spot you want is not a problem.” When he reached there, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu stood up from his throne and said, “The protective formation of our Immortal Rising City can’t last for much longer. It’ll be completely up to you now, fellow.”
