Supreme God Emperor Chapter Vol 4 5236: conspiracy
Previously on Supreme God Emperor...
Cangzhou finds itself devoid of peace today.
Truth be told, ever since the last expedition to Gai Tianhai concluded, unrest has swept through Cangzhou's three dominant powers along with their key subordinate factions.
Xiaoyao Palace!
Cang Clan!
Tianfeng Sect!
Tensions now fracture these three mighty hegemons.
Within the Tianfeng Sect today, vibrant banners wave in the wind, while passing disciples and elders brim with exhilaration.
No wonder!
For years, battles have raged in Pingzhou, and Cangzhou has seen its share of conflict too.
The overlords—Cang Clan, Xiaoyao Palace, and Tianfeng Sect—clashed fiercely, causing heavy losses, yet the sect's elders advanced significantly in their cultivation.
Back when Mu Yun resided in the Tianfeng Sect, merely a few hundred resident elders had reached the Daohai God Realm.
Now, their numbers have swelled to thousands.
Of course, this growth didn't stem from the Tianfeng Sect's expansion over the last century.
Truthfully, the Tianfeng Sect always boasted thousands at the Daohai Divine Realm.
Most simply served in key posts across the sect's governed cities.
These stationed elders and deacons spend most of their time away, returning periodically to report and offer tributes.
Yet today, many have streamed back to the Tianfeng Sect.
For this marks the arrival of visitors from Xiaoyao Palace.
Through years of mutual assaults among the three hegemons, all sides endured severe setbacks.
Now, Xiaoyao Palace's lord, Liu Wenxiao, plans to bring along numerous elders and disciples to confer with the Tianfeng Sect.
The alliance aims to unite Xiaoyao Palace and Tianfeng Sect against the Cang Clan!
With these two titans combined, the Cang Clan faces annihilation!
Thus, Cangzhou's three overlords would shrink to two, with Xiaoyao Palace claiming the east and Tianfeng Sect the west.
As such, the Tianfeng Sect treats this day with utmost importance.
Disciples, deacons, and elders bustling about all wear faces lit with joy.
Should Tianfeng Sect and Xiaoyao Palace merge forces,
the Cang Clan's doom is sealed.
Then, across vast Cangzhou, only Tianfeng Sect and Xiaoyao Palace would reign supreme, propelling both sects to unprecedented heights.
Beyond the mountain gate, the scene buzzes with activity.
The sun climbs high into the sky.
At the Tianfeng Sect's mountain gate, divine flying beasts descend in succession.
As Tianfeng Sect's deputy sect master and eldest figure, Shang Dongfang oversees the welcoming.
At this instant, figures leap down from the foremost flying beast.
Leading them stands a man full of vigor, towering and upright, his inner aura tightly contained yet impossible to overlook.
This is Liu Wenxiao, lord of Xiaoyao Palace.
Beside Liu Wenxiao strides Liu Wenxuan, the second palace master.
The third palace master Pu Wanli and fourth palace master Liu Wenzheng have both fallen.
Nevertheless, Xiaoyao Palace has elevated new third and fourth palace masters.
The lead group of over a dozen consists entirely of Dao God Realm powerhouses, each radiating overwhelming might.
Tianfeng Sect disciples handling the reception at the gate, inside and out, beam with delight and awe.
Dao God Realm experts!
Cangzhou's apex existences!
Countless disciples linger at Dao Lord God, Dao Platform God, or Daohai God levels—mere specks before these Dao God giants.
Even Tianfeng Sect's Dao God Realm members felt tense in their presence recently.
In the current Tianfeng Sect,
Sect Master Shang Yunyun leads.
First Deputy Sect Master Shang Dongfang, the most senior, has attained the Three Talents of Dao.
Second Deputy Sect Master Xi Qingyan, also advanced in age, now holds the Dao Three Talents realm as well.
The former third deputy sect master Jing Fan and fourth deputy sect master Wu Wenqian have perished.
Fifth deputy sect master Wang Xinya has risen to third deputy sect master.
Yet Wang Xinya, now in the Dao Inscription Six Directions Realm, surpasses the first two and earns Sect Master Shang Yunyun's deep regard.
Hence, Wang Xinya commands tremendous prestige within the Tianfeng Sect.
Shang Dongfang, directing the welcome, steps forward eagerly upon sighting Liu Wenxiao, Liu Wenxuan, and their group, smiling as he declares, "Tianfeng Sect welcomes Palace Master Liu."
"Brother Shang, you're too courteous."
Liu Wenxiao grinned and replied, "Frankly, it's been years since I last visited the Tianfeng Sect, and returning now feels like a lifetime has passed."
"Hahaha..." Shang Dongfang burst into laughter, declaring, "Enter, hurry inside..."
At the same time.
Within Tianfengzong.
The martial arts field before the Palace Lord's main hall had been perfectly prepared.
Pavilions and banquets were set up, while the graceful and stunning female disciples of Tianfeng Sect hustled about.
On the palace steps.
Shang Yunyun wore elegant palace robes, her curvaceous form suggesting about forty years of age, radiating the allure of a ripe beauty.
Her features carried the imposing authority of a leader, blended with a woman's gentle grace.
Standing beside her was the exquisitely elegant Wang Xinya.
Gazing at the bustling activity ahead, Wang Xinya remarked, "Sect Master, could Liu Wenxiao's alliance with our Tianfeng Sect this time involve some deception?"
Cang Clan!
Xiaoyao Palace!
Tianfengzong!
Over a century, fierce conflicts had raged among them.
All stemming from the Cangtian Sect ruins in the Burning God Mountain Range, the Tianzhao Sword Sect ruins exploration in Crescent River Valley, and the Gaitian Haixingtang ruins venture.
Top experts from the three sides were sent, yet numerous lives were lost.
Thus, grudges formed.
These grudges grew over time, escalating to the present day.
Now, the three great sects eyed deploying Daoist God realm powerhouses into the fray.
Should that occur, mutual destruction would follow.
Right then, Xiaoyao Palace proposed an alliance.
A union between Heavenly Phoenix Sect and Xiaoyao Palace would surely doom the Cang Clan.
Yet, what if it was a trap?
Then, Tianfengzong might end up as the target engulfed in flames.
Shang Yunyun smiled, replying, "Liu Wenxiao coming personally with his people demonstrates true sincerity..."
If Liu Wenxiao were truly scheming with the Cang Clan against Tianfeng Sect, his arrival here would confirm it.
"Moreover..."
Shang Yunyun continued, "I understand the risk: no great gain without entering danger. Liu Wenxiao might be tricking us, but he's shown sincerity by coming himself and leaving his son and daughter here in our Heavenly Phoenix Sect as pledges..."
Wang Xinya nodded upon hearing this.
Before long, the Xiaoyao Palace group arrived.
"Palace Lord Liu!"
"Sect Master."
Cangzhou's two supreme leaders now met, exchanging courteous words.
Soon after, all were seated.
Liu Wenxiao gestured to the pair beside him.
A young man and woman, both appearing in their twenties.
"Liu Mingzheng!"
"Liu Mingyin!"
Smiling, Liu Wenxiao instructed, "Come, pay respects to Sect Master Shang."
The duo rose and greeted Shang Yunyun.
However, after glancing at Shang Yunyun, Liu Mingzheng's gaze shifted to Wang Xinya at her side.
What an exquisite beauty.
Liu Mingzheng felt stunned.
This must be Wang Xinya, Tianfeng Sect's third deputy sect master.
Rumors claimed her looks could captivate the world, and indeed they did. Most strikingly, she exuded a shy, delicate, and tender vibe.
Though as a deputy sect master of Tianfeng Sect, Wang Xinya wasn't truly timid and wielded thunderous authority.
Still, her appearance and aura evoked precisely that impression.
