The Future of the Star Heaven Alliance

"Qingqing, that's not how it works. Primordial Spirit True Lord is an incredibly powerful being. In our entire Star Province, there's only one, Xin Tianqi, the Star Lord. Even among top forces like Dragon Sparrow Manor and Purgatory Sect, he would be considered a Supreme Elder. Such a person wouldn't be easily mobilized..."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was strange, Nie Shisan quickly tried to smooth things over.

He also gave Nie Qingqing a wink, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

"The Primordial Spirit True Lord will not easily intervene..."

Looking at Nie Shisan, who didn't want her to say anything more, and then at Xiong Tianxia, Zhan Hongying, and the others who were very proud of their Spirit Refining cultivation, Nie Qingqing realized at this moment the gap in vision between the people of the Star Heaven Alliance and the Gu Jinlai Heavenly Monarchs.

But she just had to say it.

Those who sit in a well and look at the sky will surely bring about their own destruction.

She said heavily, "Does my brother know that when the three Spirit Transformation Soul cultivators of the State Lord's Mansion led hundreds of experts to carry out a decapitation operation against our Star Heaven Alliance, a group of experts from Dragon Sparrow Manor also infiltrated Lingxiao City, intending to kill Gu Tianjun, the soul of Lingxiao City, in one blow?"

"During the attack on Starfall City by the Governor's Mansion, Dragon Sparrow Manor also attacked Lingxiao City?"

Nie Shisan's expression changed, and he quickly realized something. "Have the two families joined forces again?"

"That's for sure. Alliance Leader, don't forget that the reason why the State Lord's Mansion and Dragon Sparrow Manor became enemies was because the conference held at Shili Slope outside Starlight City ended in failure, with both sides accusing each other of not acting discreetly."

Xiong Tianxia said, "But not long ago, the State Lord's Mansion investigated and found that the main reason for the failure of the Ten Mile Slope Gathering was Gu Tianjun... He seems to have developed a special Spirit Artifact that allowed him to sense the presence of the Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivator ambushed at Dragon Sparrow Manor in advance. Thus, he secretly formed alliances, allowing the Cold Moon Sect, Purgatory Sect, Yellow Spring Sect, Yellow Heaven Sect, and other forces to turn the tables on him, dismantling the State Lord's Mansion's conspiracy in one fell swoop. This also led to the death of State Lord Qi Zhongsheng, ushering in a chapter of chaos and division in Star Province..."

He said with an air of expectation, "Didn't we speculate not long ago that we had identified the key figure, and that there was a high probability that the two sides would put aside their differences and join forces again?"

Nie Shisan glanced in the direction where the Gu Jinlai auras were surging. "It seems... Gu Tianjun is safe and sound? Otherwise, where would he get the spare strength to support our Star Curtain City? Did Dragon Sparrow Manor underestimate them and not send a few Spirit Transformation cultivators?"

"Underestimate him? As one of the top powers, Dragon Sparrow Manor knows that Gu Tianjun recently killed a demonic ape leader and slain thousands of Demonic Beasts in the Battle of White River. How could they underestimate him in the slightest?"

Nie Qingqing said heavily, "This time, in order to assassinate Gu Tianjun, Longque Manor dispatched two Grand Elders at the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord level, Wang Yinfeng and Ye Wuxia, as well as seven Nascent Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators who had mastered flying swords!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room changed their expressions.

"Two Supreme Elders at the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord level!?"

"Seven!? The Spirit Transformation cultivators dispatched by Dragon Sparrow Manor aren't the three they sent against our Starry Sky Alliance, but seven?"

"This... Dragon Sparrow Manor actually dispatched so many experts all at once? It's as if they mobilized all their available resources."

The True Person Spirit Refining of the Starry Sky Alliance were all filled with shock.

To them, a Spirit Transformation cultivator who had mastered flying swords was already considered terrifying.

Any Spirit Transformation cultivator has the ability to easily kill a True Person Spirit Refining.

And the Primordial Spirit True Lord...

It is stronger than Spirit Transformation cultivator.

After all, although the flying swords of Spirit Transformation cultivators are sharp, if they can cultivate their intent or possess a superior spiritual armor, they can withstand the flying swords and then engage in close combat with the Spirit Transformation cultivators.

With a grasp of the essence, or with superior spiritual armor protecting one, it is not impossible to Spirit Refining Spirit Transformation.

But the Primordial Spirit True Lord is a top-tier existence who can move freely and enter and exit the Azure Netherworld.

Just as even a powerful high- Demonic Beasts demon king with an indestructible demonic body could only flee in terror when shot by Primordial Spirit True Lord, it goes without saying that Spirit Refining True Person would be even more helpless.

Moreover, the Primordial Spirit True Lord's sword speed is even faster, and the Primordial Spirit Flying Sword can carry true essence. When it explodes, even if the Spirit Refining True Person senses it through the profound meaning of the artistic conception, he may not be able to dodge in time.

Faced with the absolute air superiority of the Primordial Spirit True Lord, the Spirit Refining True Person were like an army without even anti-aircraft guns, each one a sitting duck.

"That doesn't make sense."

At this moment, Xiong Tianxia seemed to realize something and came to his senses. "Two Grand Elders of the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord level and seven Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor infiltrated Lingxiao City to ambush Gu Jinlai, so how could he be here?"

"He abandoned the city and fled?"

Nie Shisan also speculated, and even exclaimed in surprise, "They escaped to our Starry Sky Alliance? They want to use the power of our Starry Sky Alliance to fight against Dragon Sparrow Manor?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the other Spirit Refining True Person had refined their spirits changed.

This scene, witnessed by Nie Qingqing, only deepened her disappointment.

At this moment, she once again felt the difference between the Star Alliance led by her brother Nie Shisan and others and the Gu Jinlai Lingxiao City.

"Escape? Why would you escape?"

She looked at Nie Shisan and the others and asked in return, "Could it be that Gu Tianjun used absolute power to defeat the two Primordial Spirit and seven Nascent Spirit Transformation of Dragon Sparrow Manor?!"

"Who has ever defeated the two Primordial Spirit and seven Spirit Transformation of Dragon Sparrow Manor Gu Jinlai?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Shisan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't joke around."

He stated with certainty, "If Dragon Sparrow Manor had only dispatched seven Spirit Transformation cultivators, perhaps there would be a chance. But with the two Supreme Elders of Dragon Sparrow Manor, Wang Yinfeng and Ye Wuxia, personally taking action... how could he possibly win?"

He pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, "Let me guess, the Supreme Elder of the Purgatory Sect has made a move? Gu Jinlai, he still holds the title of Red-Robed Elder of the Purgatory Sect. It is said that he will soon be promoted to Elder. This is the decision-making level of the Purgatory Sect. If the people of the Purgatory Sect find out that Dragon Sparrow Manor is going to make a move against their sect's Elder, they will definitely not let it go."

"It was Gu Tianjun and his seven demon god guards who defeated the two Primordial Spirit True Lord and seven Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators of Dragon Sparrow Manor."

Nie Qingqing said, word by word, "Moreover... in this battle, the Supreme King Yin Feng and Ye Wuxia of Longque Mountain Villa died on the spot, and four of the seven Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators who participated in the operation also died, with only three managing to escape."

"Supreme King Yin Feng and Ye Wuxia died on the spot, and four Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators who participated in the operation also died..."

These words were like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens and earth, and exploded in the minds of everyone in the Star Alliance.

They stared blankly at Nie Qingqing, who had just spoken, seemingly unsure whether they were hallucinating or if Nie Qingqing was just talking nonsense and dreaming.

But looking at her appearance...

I'm not joking.

After a long while, Nie Shisan finally snapped out of his daze, "Qingqing, you..."

"Everything I said is true. Moreover, the battle was witnessed by countless people in full view of everyone. There is no falsehood in it. Besides..."

Nie Qingqing knew exactly what they wanted to ask, and answered firmly, "Soon, people from Lingxiao City will send the heads of the two Supreme Elders of Longque Manor to Star Province. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourselves."

"The head of the Supreme Elder of Dragon Sparrow Manor..."

Having said all that, Nie Shisan and the others finally realized that what Nie Qingqing said was very likely true.

Because she couldn't possibly lie about something that anyone could easily verify.

So...

"Gu Jinlai, under the attack of two Supreme Elders and seven Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor, they actually managed to kill six of them, including two Primordial Spirit True Lord, with only three Spirit Transformation cultivators escaping..."

Nie Shisan muttered to himself.

Xiong Tianxia, Zhan Hongying, and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How is this possible... How is this possible... That's Primordial Spirit True Lord! Primordial Spirit True Lord who stands high above, at the peak south of the Milky Way!"

"The Ancient Heavenly Lord... has become powerful enough to kill Primordial Spirit True Lord?"

Shao Yaoguang asked blankly.

Back when he was outside Starlight City, he had met Gu Jinlai once and witnessed the majesty of this Lord of the Sky.

Although he was capable at that time, he was at best...

That is, the level of Spirit Transformation cultivator.

How much time has passed?

They can actually kill Primordial Spirit True Lord directly!?

The contrast and change are simply dreamlike.

"Brother, elders, the reason I'm saying all this is to remind you that our Starry Sky Alliance needs to reconsider our stance. Perhaps you think we and Lingxiao City are allies, but when one side can't help the other at all, yet the other side can easily crush the first side with a turn of its head, does this kind of alliance still have a basis for existence?"

Nie Qingqing said.

Nie Shisan opened his mouth.

If what she said is true, Gu Jinlai one side has been powerful enough to directly confront two Primordial Spirit True Lord and seven Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor, managing to kill only three of them and escape, then the scale of both sides...

They're really not in the same league anymore.

"When I was persuading Gu Tianjun to send troops, I was terrified of one thing: that Gu Tianjun would dawdle and delay the mobilization. If he only delayed for three days... or even two days, would our Star Alliance still exist?"

Nie Qingqing said, "Moreover, they just had a fierce battle with Dragon Sparrow Manor. Even if they don't take action, with this reason, no one in the world can say a word against it."

These words sent a chill down the spines of Nie Shisan, Xiong Tianxia, Zhan Hongying, Shao Yaoguang, and others.

If Gu Jinlai two days later, the Starry Sky Alliance would have been lucky to save even one or two of its ten Spirit Refining, let alone ten.

In other words, if he really delayed, everyone present would die.

Having figured this out, Nie Shisan took a deep breath and lowered his voice slightly as he asked, "Qingqing, so what you mean is..."

"After defeating the two Primordial Spirit and seven Spirit Transformation of Longque Mountain Villa, Longque Mountain Villa was severely weakened and no longer able to interfere in the affairs of Star Province. Meanwhile, Yellow Heaven Sect, Cold Moon Sect, Huangquan Sect and other forces were constrained by various forces and were willing but unable to do so. They even had to consider whether they could withstand the onslaught of Gu Jinlai if they wanted to stay in Star Province."

Nie Qingqing glanced at Xie Shanhe's corpse not far away. "In addition, the local governor's mansion in Star Province also suffered heavy losses in this battle... Gu Tianjun's unification of Star Province is unstoppable. When that time comes, how will you, me, and our Xingtian Alliance conduct ourselves?"

Nie Shisan, Xiong Tianxia, Zhan Hongying, and the others wanted to refute his analysis, but they didn't know where to begin.

For a moment, the group couldn't help but look dejected.

"Brother, don't forget that the original purpose of our Starry Sky Alliance was to protect ourselves and ensure the continuation of our respective sects. That's all."

Nie Qingqing reminded him, "Given the benevolence of the Ancient Heavenly Lord, who could have allowed our Star Heaven Alliance to collapse on its own but still chose to intervene out of righteousness, I believe that as long as we do not go against the Ancient Heavenly Lord's stance, it will not be difficult for our sects to maintain their lineage."

As she spoke, she added, "Not to mention that the Ancient Heavenly Lord is about to unify Star Province, which is precisely the time when he needs people."

Her words of persuasion finally made Nie Shisan look up again. "Qingqing, thank you for your advice, I understand."

He let out a long breath, as if he had unloaded some burden. "I will have a good talk with Gu Tianjun."
