Chapter 2319
As the disciple's report rang out, the eight people, including Jue Wuqing, who were sitting in the main hall with their old friends, the Immortal Kings, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the border war, all stopped in their tracks.
As his immortal energy stirred and Daoist charm flowed, eight gazes, like divine lightning traversing the void, were simultaneously cast towards the outside of the hall, carrying the unique majesty and scrutiny of an immortal king.
"Summon." Jue Wuqing nodded slightly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable pressure. As the word fell, the swirling mist in the hall trembled slightly.
"Yes, Sect Master!" The disciple outside the hall respectfully accepted the order, his voice fading into the corridor.
"Chen Xuan actually came with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang and the Holy Maiden of Jiu You?"
"No wonder he hasn't shown up yet; he's been meeting in private!"
Inside the main hall, whispers rose and fell, and curious eyes turned to look towards the hall entrance, filled with curiosity and gossip.
Xuan Yi nudged Fu Sheng beside him with his elbow, winking and making faces; Dao Yi also put away his seriousness in discussing the war, his eyes hiding a hint of anticipation.
Even Han Jiuling, upon hearing the surrounding discussions, couldn't help but clench his fists, a strange expectation rising in his heart—if Xia Jiuyou really appeared with Chen Xuan's child, then perhaps he could still compete for the position of Holy Lord.
In a short while, three figures arrived, walking calmly into the main hall. The aura of perfect celestial beings surrounding them spread out like a tide, causing the clouds and mist in the hall to churn slightly wherever they passed.
At the head of the group was Chen Xuan. His white hair cascaded down to his shoulders like a waterfall, his black robes fluttered in the wind, a faint smile played on his lips, and his sword aura, though concealed, exuded a sharpness that looked down upon his peers.
On either side of her, Lu Xueqi, dressed in a light blue dress, exuded an ethereal aura, like a lotus flower just beginning to bloom in Kunlun, her beautiful face radiating tranquility.
Xia Jiuyou was dressed in a white fairy feather robe, cold and aloof, with a mysterious Daoist aura flowing around her. Her brows carried a hint of detachment, yet her peerless elegance was undeniable.
The three stood side by side, their auras of perfect celestial beings intertwined, like three towering mountains pressing down on everyone's hearts, instantly making Dao Yi, Han Jiuling and other young prodigies feel suffocated, their breaths even slightly catching in their throats.
Over a hundred years, they had to undergo tribulations to become immortals and also oversee the training of a million-strong army. They simply couldn't understand how Chen Xuan and the other two had managed to raise their cultivation to such a level!
"Chen Xuan greets the Sect Master and all senior uncles and masters." Chen Xuan, accompanied by Lu Xueqi and Xia Jiuyou, straightened his robes and bowed respectfully, his clear voice echoing throughout the hall.
The eight Immortal Kings, including Jue Wuqing, Yao Guang Shengzhu, and Jiu You Shengzhu, swept their gazes over the three and clearly felt the condensation and sharpness contained in their auras, like divine weapons unsheathed. Their eyes narrowed slightly, and they were secretly shocked—the foundation of these three little guys was so solid!
"After more than a hundred years of training, you are about to head to the first line of defense. Are you all ready?" Jue Wuqing spoke slowly, his majestic voice carrying a hint of scrutiny, echoing in the hall.
"As the sect leader has hoped, the army of a million cultivators is now complete!" Chen Xuan straightened up, his eyes resolute, his tone brimming with confidence. "On this expedition, we will surely slaughter the strange army, leaving not a single piece of armor standing!"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Lord of Xuan, the Lord of Yaochi, and several other Immortal Kings immediately frowned.
They naturally knew that Chen Xuan was exceptionally talented, but this battle for the destiny of civilizations could not be controlled by a mere million-strong army—it was a large-scale coordinated operation involving ten realms and dozens of holy lands, and no matter how strong an individual's combat power was, it would be difficult to change the course of the battle.
"Ruthless, it seems you've been too indulgent with this brat lately." The Heavenly Pivot Saint Master turned to look at Jue Wuqing, his tone teasing yet carrying a hidden meaning, "Your tone is far too arrogant."
Sure enough, for the next half hour, Jue Wuqing's expression darkened as he reprimanded Chen Xuan repeatedly, and the other Immortal Kings also chimed in.
