That's right.
The person who recommended Su Lianxin was none other than the Su Household patriarch.
Others may not know Su Lianxin's strength, but he does.
Although Su Lianxin no longer belongs to the Su Household, this matter concerns the life and death of the Profound Domain. If the Profound Domain does not exist, what is the point of talking about the Su Household?
Furthermore, Su Lianxin's master and the terrifying being hidden in the void that day both prove that Su Lianxin is extraordinary.
That's why he was able to recommend Su Lianxin so confidently. This decision was not based on personal grudges, but rather on a long-term perspective.
But no one expected that the Su Household patriarch would suggest Lianxin, someone who was not even considered by everyone.
Everyone present wore an expression of surprise.
"Isn't Lianxin, who ranks thirteenth on the Earth Ranking, a bit too much of a stretch?"
This is still a relatively tactful and euphemistic way of speaking.
The head of the Gu Household scoffed casually, his tone disdainful. "Thirteenth place? It's not even a stretch, it's downright unqualified. By that logic, my Gu Household's Gu Yuan, ranked twelfth on the Earth Ranking, could also compete for a spot, couldn't he?"
"Is there no one else in the Profound Domain? Why would they send someone ranked thirteenth up like this?"
"Aren't all those ranked ahead of her more qualified to enter the Great Emperor Treasury? Tsk..."
The faces of the group of powerful figures from the Ancient Alliance were also somewhat grim; the quota should be awarded to the most capable.
In their view, the reason why the name Lianxin can still occupy thirteenth place on the Earth Ranking is simply because the geniuses of the Ancient Realm emerged later and could not compare with the cultivators of the Profound Alliance who started killing Alien Race much earlier.
It was merely a matter of gaining a slight initial advantage.
If they were born at the same time, Lianxin... ha! I'm afraid she wouldn't even be in the top twenty.
The head of the Yun Household was a dignified-looking, dark-faced middle-aged man. Yun Kai, as one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm, was already in a bad mood because he was not selected. Now, his expression was even colder.
" Su Household, it's not that we're disrespecting you, but even if your Profound Alliance wants to occupy another spot in the Great Emperor Treasury, shouldn't you find someone with more strength?"
No one refuted what he said; instead, they all nodded slightly.
After all, the matter being discussed now concerns the future of the Profound Domain. Although the Ancient Realm is a separate realm, it is still within the Profound Domain. If the Profound Domain is affected by war, the Ancient Realm will inevitably suffer as well.
This is no child's play, nor is it a game. We can't arrange things based on personal preference. If we're going to field someone, we have to field the ten strongest players!
Seeing that everyone agreed, the head of the Yun Household snorted coldly and spoke sarcastically.
"Oh, I almost forgot, besides that guy on the Mystic Ranking, your Profound Alliance really doesn't have anything else worth mentioning."
These words were Zhenzhen derogatory, almost as if they wanted to trample the Profound Alliance cultivators into the mud. The Profound Alliance cultivators present were not mud people; even if they were, they would still have some temper. They all glared angrily at the Yun Household head.
His words were blatant sarcasm, piercing their very souls and condemning the Profound Alliance as utterly useless.
but...
Even though they knew it was a mockery, the cultivators of the Profound Alliance could only glare angrily at the Yun Household patriarch, completely at a loss for words to refute him.
Because what he said wasn't actually wrong.
Currently, among the Profound Alliance's top talents, the only ones who are still on the Earth Ranking and can be considered outstanding are Taishu Ru, who is ranked first on the Mystic Ranking, and Lianxin, who is ranked thirteenth on the Earth Ranking.
This is really quite shabby...
Annoyed as they were, and unable to bear others speaking ill of their own family, the few members of the Profound Alliance present didn't understand why the Su Household patriarch had recommended Lianxin.
They looked at the Su Household patriarch with suspicion, wanting an explanation, but the Su Household patriarch simply lowered his eyes and did not say anything extra or offer any explanation.
Back then, those things that happened in the Su Household were their own business, and also a disgrace to the family. How could he possibly talk about them to outsiders? He was too busy covering them up to do so.
The Su Household patriarch sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He only insisted on one thing.
" Lianxin, there should be a spot."
His stubbornness left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment, and for a moment, no one spoke.
In the end, it was the head of the Tian Household who smoothed things over with a smile.
"Arguing back and forth won't lead to anything, so let's settle on Lianxin."
The others exchanged glances, and finally relented out of respect for the Su Household patriarch.
After all, the Su Household patriarch held a very high status and power, and his words carried considerable weight.
"Very well, then Lianxin."
Although the decision was made, no one took it too seriously. This battle mainly depended on the Imperial Clan members, the Profound Domain, and others, especially Lianxin, who was just there to make up the numbers.
Several Ancient Realm clan heads curled their lip and reluctantly agreed.
They knew that no matter what, they couldn't go too far. The Ancient Alliance already occupied eight of the ten spots, and that was even with the fact that the Ancient Alliance had a large number of geniuses. If they continued to take more, it would be inappropriate.
After all, the Great Emperor Treasury doesn't belong to their Ancient Alliance.
Only the Profound Alliance) can activate it.
If it weren't a matter of life and death, their Ancient Alliance wouldn't have been able to secure those eight spots at all.
Eight to two, that's practically the absolute best.
If we really push the Profound Alliance too far, they might just grit their teeth and refuse to open the Great Emperor Treasury. Wouldn't that be troublesome and a losing proposition?
We might as well just give up one of the spots.
Just consider the left and right ones as filler.
Moreover, even if they were, it might not be the turn of the two from the Profound Domain to make a move.
After all, Ji Linyuan has arrived as well.
With that Holy Son Linyuan here, we will definitely not lose this battle!
The group had different ideas, but fortunately, they managed to finalize the list of ten people.
"Good."
The head of the Tian Household clapped his hands lightly, a smile playing on his lips as he rose from his wheelchair. A faint flush appeared on his pale, sickly face, as if he were in a very good mood.
"Now that the decision has been made, let us send a message to those children."
"Furthermore... I would like to trouble everyone to open the inner treasury of the Great Emperor Treasury. Once the time is up, let those little fellows go in and choose what they need, and then they can immediately head to the battlefield."
No one objected.
Only the Su Household patriarch hesitated, his brows furrowing slightly.
Since Su Lianxin broke ties with the Su Household, even as the Su Household's patriarch, he had no way to contact her.
Fortunately, he remembered the Jade Balance Sword Palace, which was related to Su Lianxin, and his brows finally relaxed.
The activation of various communication methods by major forces, whether through communication talismans or communication jade, all have only one meaning.
Return immediately to the Great Emperor Treasury and prepare for battle.
Regardless of what they were doing, upon seeing the message, all the prodigies immediately broke away and rushed back to their rear base, the location of the Great Emperor Treasury.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and a group of geniuses gathered together, along with the sect leaders, family heads, and high-ranking members of the two alliances to which each genius belonged.
but...
The Su Household patriarch frowned slightly, looking around the crowd, but couldn't find the figure he was looking for.
A bad feeling crept into his mind without him realizing it.
Lianxin... is it that she doesn't want to come, or that she simply can't come at all?
Why hasn't Lianxin arrived?
