Chapter 1924: Chapter 1921: Alliance of the Seven Domain Tianjiao!
Lin Bai was familiar with only those two here, and as for the others he knew, such as Ning, Feng Wenjun, and others, none were in sight.
Lin Bai mused that they might have already reached the Third Floor.
“Brother Luo, did you hear anything?”
Lin Bai curiously asked.
Luo Quan’s expression grew solemn, and he said, “Brother Lin, this place is truly crouching tiger, hidden dragon, masterful warriors abound. It seems that not everyone has acquired enough Tribute Items and hopes to gain some here.”
Lin Bai asked, “Who are all these people?”
Luo Quan said, “Apart from Shui Qingling and Huo Fentian, whom you just discovered, the Blade Area’s top Tianjiao, Lin Yibing, is also here.”
“Shen Qin from the Tianbei Region is also present.”
“Leng Yun from the Divine Dragon Domain is also here.”
“Moreover, the Thunder Domain Tianjiao, Lei Zidong, who stands alongside the Water and Fire Domains, is also present.”
Luo Quan shared the information he had heard directly with Lin Bai.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression subtly tightened.
Right then, Luo Quan suddenly frowned and said, “Something’s not right, Brother Lin. It seems these people have gathered together and are discussing something!”
Upon hearing Luo Quan’s words, Lin Bai looked up and saw Shui Qingling and Huo Fentian heading in the same direction, and besides them, a giant man shrouded in thunder was also walking that way.
There, within the clouds, a colossal Sword Intent Giant Sword was revealed.
This Sword Intent Giant Sword was something Lin Bai had seen on the First Floor and was controlled by the Sword Domain’s top Tianjiao, Jian Kong.
It turns out Jian Kong had already arrived atop Puppet Mountain, hidden within the clouds, unnoticed by most.
At this moment, Lin Bai looked up to see Shui Qingling, Huo Fentian, Leng Yun, Shen Qin, Lei Zidong, Lin Yibing, and six other Tianjiao heading towards the Sword Intent Giant Sword, standing alongside Jian Kong, discussing something!
“Let me listen to what they’re discussing.”
Luo Quan focused his Martial Soul power, extending it towards the Sword Intent Giant Sword.
Just as Luo Quan’s Martial Soul power approached, the eyes of Jian Kong, standing atop the Sword Intent Giant Sword, flashed with displeasure, immediately directing his gaze towards Lin Bai and Luo Quan’s location.
As Jian Kong glared, it felt as though tens of thousands of Sharp Swords materialized mid-air, all aimed at Luo Quan, frightening him pale, causing him to stagger and nearly fall.
“Hmph!”
Accompanied by Jian Kong’s cold snort.
“Brother Luo, are you alright?” Lin Bai supported Luo Quan, saying.
Luo Quan said, “The Sword Intent Giant Sword contains Jian Kong’s will. As soon as my Martial Soul power approached, it was severed, and I was even stared down by him!”
“The top Tianjiao of the Sword Domain is truly formidable.”
Luo Quan said with repeated bitter laughter.
Being discovered by Jian Kong, Luo Quan had no choice but to abandon using his Martial Soul to eavesdrop on the Sword Intent Giant Sword.
And Lin Bai was also immensely curious. With the strongest seven Tianjiao standing together, what could they possibly intend to do?
After a while, it appeared that these seven Tianjiao reached some consensus.
At that moment, with Jian Kong leading, the seven Tianjiao stood shoulder to shoulder on the Sword Intent Giant Sword, revealing themselves from within the clouds. All the warriors surrounding Puppet Mountain looked up at the seven Tianjiao upon the colossal Sword Intent Giant Sword!
“Are those seven atop the Sword Intent Giant Sword some of the top ten warriors in the East Continent Heroes Record?”
“Heavens, why are these seven standing together?”
“Sword Domain’s Jian Kong, Blade Area’s Lin Yibing, Tianbei Region’s Shen Qin, Divine Dragon Domain’s Leng Yun, and even Huo Fentian of the Fire Domain, Shui Qingling of the Water Domain, and Lei Zidong of the Thunder Domain!”
“These seven are among the strongest Tianjiao this year! How are they standing together?”
All the warriors surrounding Puppet Mountain raised their heads, gazing at the seven atop the Sword Intent Giant Sword.
Lin Bai and Luo Quan also looked up.
The seven stood together, Jian Kong stepped forward, and said in a clear voice, “To all the warriors here, please listen: this time, the Puppet King on the Second Floor will be slain by us from the Sword Domain, Blade Area, Tianbei Region, Divine Dragon Domain, Fire Domain, Water Domain, and Thunder Domain!”
“We kindly ask everyone to cooperate and refrain from meddling with the Puppet King here.”
“If any of you wish to fight, do not blame the Tianjiao from our seven Territories for being ruthless.”
“Simply put, if you make a move, bear the consequences!”
Jian Kong stood in the sky with a cold smile and said.
As Jian Kong said this, the warriors surrounding Puppet Mountain were taken aback.
“What does Jian Kong mean by this? To claim the Puppet King here for themselves?”
“The Tianjiao from your seven Territories are quite domineering, aren’t they? This Puppet King is on the Second Floor, not the Puppet King of your seven Territories.”
“Jian Kong, you all are truly going too far.”
“…”
As Jian Kong spoke those words, the warriors surrounding Puppet Mountain voiced their anger.
Even Luo Quan was shocked and said, “Jian Kong is being too overbearing, wanting to claim the Puppet King as his own?”
Lin Bai slightly smiled, recalling what Jian Kong had done on the First Floor, and wasn’t surprised at all.
Because, during the First Floor at Puppet Mountain, Jian Kong led the Sword Domain’s prodigies and directly took away half of the Red Pearl Contributions from the Puppet King, being extremely overbearing!
And at this moment on the Second Floor, perhaps Jian Kong had noticed the presence of other prominent Tianjiao in the area, such as Lin Yibing and Shen Qin, Leng Yun-like level Tianjiao.
If he demanded half of the Red Pearl Contributions as boldly as he did on the First Floor, it could trigger a joint assault from these Tianjiao.
Thus, Jian Kong convened these Tianjiao for a discussion before the appearance of the Puppet King.
Now, Lin Bai suspected that their discussion was likely about the distribution of Red Pearl Contributions from the Puppet King, and with a resolution reached, the seven announced their claim over the Puppet King to the warriors here.
With these seven Tianjiao leading, and other talents from the seven Territories backing, even if the other warriors here wanted to seize the Red Pearl Contributions, they would likely be hesitant.
Luo Quan lamented, saying, “Originally, I planned to take advantage of the chaos to snag some Tribute Items, but with their declaration, if I pursue the Contributions, I might end up offending the Tianjiao from seven Domains…including terrifying figures like Jian Kong, Lin Yibing, and Shen Qin!”
Lin Bai was also somewhat displeased, silently gazing at the seven atop the Sword Intent Giant Sword, looming like an unscalable Mountain, his eyes harboring a hint of gloom.
Rumble —
At that moment, Puppet Mountain trembled with a resounding thunder, and countless rocks came crashing down from the Mountain, revealing a colossal Puppet Giant Beast in this world.
This was a Puppet Giant Beast resembling a giant octopus, the Puppet King of the Second Floor.
