177: Slaying the Thousand Islands Alliance

Within the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the Emperor was enjoying himself in the Imperial Garden with the Empress and several favored Princes and princesses when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Peerless Sect, a solemn expression on his face.

"Someone from the Peerless Sect has broken through to the Saint Realm again. It should be Sect Master Chu Feng."

...In the Boundless Sea Region, Fourth Domain, where the Thousand Island Alliance is located, it is a large archipelago. The islands are rich in Spiritual Qi and exceptionally prosperous. This force is different from other top-tier forces.

It is formed by the combination of multiple forces, with its subordinate powers governing themselves, but when facing enemies, they unite against outsiders, similar to a round table conference, a nation composed of multiple forces.

At this moment, several Saint Rank Cultivators and a group of Half-Saint higher-ups were holding a meeting, seemingly arguing about something.

Suddenly, a terrifying Aura enveloped this part of the world, and Killing Intent covered all living beings. Many children with weak minds suffered numerous casualties.

The originally sunny sky was, at some unknown point, covered by dark clouds, with rolling thunderclouds and dense lightning.

The most terrifying thing was that this part of the world seemed to have been cut and merged into an ancient battlefield, with corpses strewn everywhere, white bones rolling, and blood rain pouring down.

"This is bad! This is a Heavenly Scourge! Everyone run!"

"Don't talk nonsense! This is the Thousand Island Alliance headquarters. Spreading rumors is a serious crime! There are several Saint Rank Cultivators guarding it, and even Saint Rank Third Heaven powerhouses. How could there be any Heavenly Scourge? This will always be the safest place in the Endless Sea Region. The leader will deal with it immediately."

A Holy Light shot up into the sky, and all the dark clouds and anomalies dissipated, the island once again returning to its prosperous state.

"Which petty scoundrel dares to act wildly here?"

Leader Xiang Zuo soared into the sky, his voice echoing like a heavenly sound, domineering and awe-inspiring. All the Cultivators on the island knelt down at this moment, shouting, "Long live the Leader!"

The next moment, Xiang Zuo's figure appeared high in the sky, clad in a noble ceremonial robe, his sharp Saber Intent slashing towards the unknown enemy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several more Saint Rank Cultivators appeared behind Xiang Zuo. At the same time, hundreds of Peak Protective Aura Realm Cultivators soared into the sky, a truly grand display.

"Leader, I wonder which enemy dares to provoke our Thousand Island Alliance. They truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The Leader's strength is among the top in these First Four Territories."

One of the Saint Rank First Heaven youths spoke, his words full of admiration.

"Hahahaha..."

A burst of wild and arrogant laughter came from the unknown sky. Immediately after, everyone could sense a supreme Saber Intent enveloping this part of the world.

A hundred miles away, three figures enveloped in Holy Light teleported over, and beneath their feet, a blood-red giant Dragon coiled and maneuvered.

Upon closer inspection, it was precisely formed by an endless convergence of Saber Qi, truly majestic and extraordinary.

The next moment, the three individuals and the Saber Qi Dragon were suspended in the air above the island. The leader was a young man, full of arrogance, accompanied by two old men on his left and right.

These two old men were indeed two Saint Rank Cultivators, their Aura ancient, their Saint Wheels rotating behind them, an invisible Saber Intent rotating within them in a specific manner, making them appear even more mysterious.

"Such powerful Saber Intent! Such terrifying Aura!" Xiang Zuo's thoughts raced, and an extremely dangerous premonition surged in his heart.

"I've roamed these Lower Four Domains for a hundred years and have never heard of these two old men. Could they be from the Central Domain? It seems they come with ill intentions!"

Xiang Zuo was filled with doubt and alarm, but in front of his subordinates, he naturally could not lose his imposing Aura.

A Saint Rank First Heaven Cultivator behind him stepped forward and sternly said to the three:

"Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble in my Thousand Island Alliance?"

Without the leading young man needing to speak, the two old men behind him already stepped out, releasing their Saint Rank Third Heaven Aura without reservation.

"Hehe, you lowly dog-like thing, how dare you question our Young Lord? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Are you in such a hurry to die?!"

Throughout the entire Thousand Island Alliance stronghold, everyone was silent as cicadas under this Aura, their bodies trembling, not daring to breathe too loudly, fearing it would bring about their demise.

Xiang Zuo took a step forward, bearing this pressure for everyone. He was also trembling with fear now,

but he had to step out. Among those present, only he was Saint Rank Third Heaven, barely able to resist these two old men.

It was clear that the young man was in charge of these three. Xiang Zuo looked up at the other party and politely began, "Young Master, may I ask why you have come here..."

"Shut up!" Before Xiang Zuo could finish speaking, the two old men shouted at the same time.

"What is our Young Lord's status, what is his position? Without our Young Lord's permission, how dare you lowly things, like pigs and dogs, open your mouths to question him?"

These words not only compared everyone present to pigs and dogs but also thoroughly humiliated Xiang Zuo, as if stomping his face into the ground.

Xiang Zuo was a Saint Rank Cultivator after all, and the master of a hegemon in the First Four Territories of the Endless Sea Region. He had always been the one to order others around; who dared to treat him like this?

However, even if the other party insulted and humiliated him at will, he could only endure it now.

Not to mention that these two Old Servants of the opponent were of the same cultivation base as him, just the fact that the young man had two Saint Rank Third Heaven individuals as servants,

made it clear how powerful the force behind the opponent was, definitely not a force from the Lower Four Domains.

At this moment, the young man suddenly waved his hand at the two Old Servants, stepped forward, and condescendingly said to Xiang Zuo:

"Since my Imperial Rank Bloodline Awakening, I have been Cultivating diligently in a Secret Realm, just to shock the heavens upon my exit, to follow in my father's footsteps, and to re-establish a supreme reputation."

"You also use a saber, and coincidentally, I also use a saber. How about this: if you can take one of my saber strikes and survive, I will spare your life and give you a chance to be my slave, to be my dog."

"So, they're treating us as targets to establish their might!" Xiang Zuo secretly fumed, gritting his teeth. He had no choice but to fight with his life. He frantically activated all his Saber Intent to carve out a path to survival for himself.

"Hahahaha! You dog, you want to use me as a stepping stone and humiliate me like this? Do you really think you're something special?"

"Although I, Xiang Zuo, am a commoner with no lofty background or any damned Bloodline, all my current achievements are earned through my own struggle, a reputation carved out saber by saber."

"My weapons, Martial Skills, and Saber Intent are all obtained through daring to fight and kill, risking my life. Although my Aptitude is mediocre and my achievements are not high, what I lack least is bloodlust. If a man dies, his spirit goes to heaven; if he doesn't, he lives for ten thousand years. Even if you are an Imperial Clan descendant, I will still cut a bloody hole in you."
