System's Super Sect Chapter 1035 959: Internal Troubles Resolved, the Birth of the Heaven and Earth Alliance!

What if we are marginalized?

Can the Hidden Dragon Sect truly survive without the Hundred Sects Alliance?

Within a secluded lakeside courtyard at the rear of the Hidden Dragon Sect's mountain, Bainian Hanshan was engaged in a leisurely drinking session with several Elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect, the gentle breeze rustling around them.

Their conversation eventually steered towards the topic of the Immortal Sect.

"I do wonder how that grand war is progressing now?"

"Word is the Sanren Post has been relentlessly seizing territory from the Hundred Sects Alliance, throwing them into utter disarray. However, it appears the Hundred Sects Alliance has secured the backing of a significant power from beyond Heaven and Earth Lake, likely preparing for a counteroffensive."

The Elders exchanged their thoughts on the events of the past dozen days, their sentiments a complex tapestry.

Heaven and Earth Lake was currently in a state of upheaval.

So chaotic, in fact, that it gave them a splitting headache.

Draining his cup in a single gulp, Bainian Hanshan declared, "This conflict will be protracted, potentially spanning hundreds of years. Although the Sanren Post has the Immortal Sect's support, they still cannot completely crush the Hundred Sects Alliance swiftly. The Hundred Sects Alliance may be at a tactical disadvantage, but they possess external forces aiding them from beyond Heaven and Earth Lake. Our sole responsibility is to steel ourselves and navigate this tumultuous era."

In Bainian Hanshan's estimation, this was merely the preamble.

The true age of widespread chaos had yet to dawn.

But it was drawing near.

As time marched forward, the entirety of Heaven and Earth Lake would undoubtedly be consumed by the inferno of war.

For this war to cease, one of the opposing sides had to crumble first.

Just as the Elders were about to offer their replies, a brilliant streak of white light descended from the heavens.

The sudden spectacle captured everyone's undivided attention.

Then, they witnessed an individual emerge from the dazzling light, their form suspended serenely in mid-air.

"An Earth Unrestricted Expert!"

"It's truly an Earth Unrestricted Expert!"

The assembled Elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect were struck with astonishment.

Bainian Hanshan himself was not exempt from a degree of surprise and trepidation.

After all, this was a legendary figure, an Earth Unrestricted Expert.

However, upon noticing the attire of the newcomer, Bainian Hanshan let out a chuckle.

The Immortal Clear Wind Robe!

It belonged to the Immortal Sect!

"Where is Bainian Hanshan?" The newcomer, identified as Chen Xie, posed the question.

Chen Xie's resounding call echoed throughout the entire Hidden Dragon Sect.

Innumerable individuals gazed skyward, all filled with shock.

Bainian Hanshan quickly raised his voice in response, "This junior, Bainian Hanshan, pays his respects to the esteemed Senior from the Immortal Sect!"

Following the sound, Chen Xie gracefully descended towards the rear mountain and inquired politely, "Are you Bainian Xiang's father?"

"Senior may simply address me as Hanshan. May I inquire how I should address Senior?"

Bainian Hanshan replied with a genial smile.

Once more, he felt a surge of pride at having given birth to Bainian Xiang.

So what if this person was a legend?

He knew my daughter!

Chen Xie smiled and stated, "I am Chen Xie... Come along with me, the Sect Leader awaits you."

"Then this junior shall depart immediately."

Upon learning that Wenping was expecting him, Bainian Hanshan hastily set down his cup.

He was just about to summon the Wing Race mounts when another streak of white light plummeted directly downward.

Boom—

As the white light impacted, Bainian Hanshan and Chen Xie vanished simultaneously.

They left behind the few bewildered Elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect exchanging perplexed glances.

The white light then materialized once more, this time within Vast City.

Boom—

Upon hitting the ground, Chen Xie emerged alongside Bainian Hanshan from the luminous descent.

As Bainian Hanshan stood drenched in confusion, Chen Xie strode into the grand hall, announcing, "Sect Leader, Sect Leader Hanshan has arrived."

Abruptly.

Wenping's voice resonated once more, "The third Vice Alliance Leader shall be Bainian Hanshan."

Upon hearing the name Bainian Hanshan, many present actually emitted sighs of relief.

Finally, someone from their own ranks!

Those who had maintained close ties with Bainian Hanshan were even more ecstatic.

Observing the reactions of the Hundred Sects Alliance members, Wenping immediately grasped that his selection of Bainian Hanshan had been an astute one!

Standing nearby, Chen Xie also appeared considerably surprised.

During their journey, he had pondered deeply—was the Sect Leader truly intending to integrate someone from the Hundred Sects Alliance?

Wouldn't that be akin to inviting a wolf into the sheepfold?

It now seemed, however, that the Sect Leader's strategy was truly inspired.

By merely appointing Bainian Hanshan, he had dismantled the final barrier in the hearts of the Hundred Sects Alliance members.

Upon hearing that Bainian Hanshan was appointed the third Vice Alliance Leader, a sense of ease permeated their assembly!

The Sect Leader had not only seized control of their bodies but had also captured their hearts!

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

Meanwhile, Bainian Hanshan at this precise moment, was utterly dumbfounded.

Before he had even grasped his surroundings, hundreds of gazes fell upon him.

All familiar faces, indeed.

Bainian Hanshan surveyed his surroundings once more and a sudden realization dawned.

This indeed was Vast City!

The primary stronghold of the Hundred Sects Alliance!

"Not even ten breaths, and we've arrived already," Bainian Hanshan mused with a sigh, his attention then shifting to Chen Xie.

Chen Xie had stepped into Vast City.

He stood boldly at the apex of the grand hall.

Had the conflict concluded this swiftly?

How long had the battle even raged?

With no time for further contemplation, Bainian Hanshan hastened his steps into the grand hall. There, amidst the beaming welcomes of the Hundred Sects Alliance contingent, he bowed to Chen Xie.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Chen!"

Following the bow, an even deeper layer of confusion settled upon him.

Why were these members of the Hundred Sects Alliance exhibiting such overt happiness?

Was losing a war a cause for celebration?

Were their minds addled?

Chen Xie offered a smile. "Sect Leader Hanshan, how have your recent days been?"

"Thanks to Sect Leader Chen's benevolence, all has been exceedingly well,"

Bainian Hanshan responded swiftly. As his eyes drifted over the assembled Hundred Sects Alliance members, a sense of depression intensified.

This group continued to erupt in laughter.

Truly a peculiar state of mind?

"Select a day to visit Yunlan Mountain and spend some time with me."

Chen Xie did not prolong the pleasantries.

The discourse pivoted back to its primary objective.

"The inaugural Alliance Leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance shall be Huaikong, supported by Vice Alliance Leaders Chen Xie, Pei Wu, and Bainian Hanshan. However, I must stipulate one crucial point: while the Heaven and Earth Alliance is my creation, it shall not fall under the dominion of the Immortal Sect. My demands of you are few, numbering only three. Firstly, clandestine collusion with any entity external to Heaven and Earth Lake is strictly prohibited. Any found in violation will face relentless pursuit unto annihilation."

Heaven and Earth Lake, after all, was his place of origin.

Without his express consent, Chen Xie would not permit any outside force to interfere.

"Secondly, I do not anticipate the immediate dissolution of enmities forged over centuries. However, without the Immortal Sect's sanction, no faction is permitted to initiate large-scale warfare. With adversaries positioned externally, my Immortal Sect does not anticipate your assistance in defending this territory of Heaven and Earth Lake. Yet, no one is to cause this Sect Leader any trouble! Do you comprehend?"

Upon concluding his address, Chen Xie swept his gaze across the assembly.

He understood it was obviously impossible to obliterate the centuries-old animosities between the Drifter's Post and the Hundred Sects Alliance with mere words.

Many harbored profound blood feuds that could only be settled by the demise of one party.

Yet, Chen Xie harbored no intention of eradicating these conflicts.

His sole objective was to ensure stability in the current overarching situation.

Heeding Chen Xie's directive, Pei Wu offered an unhesitating nod, affirming, "Until the external threats are vanquished, I, Pei Wu, pledge to Sect Leader Chen that there shall be no further conflicts!"

The Drifter's Post faction echoed this sentiment in succession.

Members of the Hundred Sects Alliance turned their attention towards Bainian Hanshan.

As a Vice Alliance Leader, Bainian Hanshan was now their foremost figure.

Bainian Hanshan remained in a state of utter bewilderment, yet he echoed Pei Wu's declaration.

"The Hidden Dragon Sect also pledges its adherence!"

As his declaration concluded, the other Four-star Giant Influences vocalized their agreement one after another.

They spontaneously began to position themselves behind Bainian Hanshan.

Noticing this shift, Bainian Hanshan slowly began to grasp certain truths.

The first truth he grasped was—the war had indeed reached its conclusion.

The Drifter's Post and the Hundred Sects Alliance had directly amalgamated into the Heaven and Earth Alliance under the Immortal Sect's decree.

He, Bainian Hanshan, had ascended to the position of one of the three Vice Alliance Leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance!

Upon this realization, Bainian Hanshan experienced a blend of reverence and apprehension. Witnessing the various factions of the Hundred Sects Alliance converging around him, his heart swelled with immense joy.

He had never envisioned a day such as this!

Once he observed everyone's assent, Chen Xie proceeded to articulate his final requirement.

"Thirdly, all Four-star Giant Influences within the Hundred Sects Alliance that partook in the crusade against the Immortal Sect shall forfeit fifty thousand White Crystals and five Cultivation Techniques or Vein Techniques of Profound Level or higher to the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Other Four-star Influences shall contribute twenty thousand White Crystals and one Profound Level Cultivation Technique or Vein Technique to replenish the Heaven and Earth Alliance Treasure Vault! The seven Silver Chiefs currently in office shall personally sever both their arms, and their Meridian Gates will be sealed for a period of one hundred years. Does anyone raise an objection?"

Chen Xie could not possibly allow the forces that had participated in the crusade against the Immortal Sect to escape consequences.

Even less could he let go of these seven Silver Level Chiefs, who had been elevated by the Shrouding Heaven Tower.

Executing them would have been far too simple.

Chen Xie required them alive—alive and yearning for death—to serve as a solemn warning to all.

This was the fate that awaited those who allied themselves with the Shrouding Heaven Tower!

As Chen Xie concluded his pronouncement, the expressions on the faces of the Hundred Sects Alliance members shifted dramatically.

When the Four-star Giant Influences heard the demand for fifty thousand White Crystals and five Profound Level Cultivation Techniques and Vein Techniques, a pang of regret was inevitable.

However, upon learning that the seven Silver Level Chiefs were to have both their arms severed and their Meridian Gate sealed for a century—

The minor heartache they had just experienced vanished entirely.

Compared to the permanent forfeiture of their limbs and the lifelong sealing of their Meridian Gates, a monetary and technical price paid to the Heaven and Earth Alliance was deemed acceptable.

After all, they had been defeated.

Simply being alive was a considerable mercy.

The seven Silver Level Chiefs turned deathly pale; they yearned to plead for leniency, but Huaikong had already advanced toward them.

Four meridians opened simultaneously!

The overwhelming power of an Earth Unrestricted Expert surged forth, suffusing the heavens and earth.

Its immense pressure bore down on the seven, whose highest cultivation realm was merely the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, making it difficult for them to even draw breath.
