Chapter 1018: Crushing in the Grand Hall
In the main hall of the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters.
"Patriarch, the bell has sounded on the Willow Association’s side. It’s likely that Liu Zixuan has sent someone over." A martial artist walked up and said.
Without waiting for the Willow Association Patriarch to speak, the Zhong Family Patriarch immediately said, "Previously, we let that kid show off in the Southwest. Now that he’s sent people over, we must reclaim our dignity. Alliance Leader, let me take people over there!"
"Old Zhong, your injury isn’t healed yet!" Another Patriarch on the side hesitated to speak.
The Willow Association Patriarch waved his hand, "No need to say more. We all must go over there."
"To deal with the people he sent, we probably don’t need such a big formation, right? Those people are as strong as Liu Zixuan himself," the Zhong Family Patriarch said disdainfully.
The Willow Association Patriarch shook his head, "They’re not as strong as him, nor did he send people. This time, Liu Zixuan has personally brought people here."
"Personally led them here?" All the Patriarchs frowned.
"This is his style of doing things. He always strikes when you’re down. Knowing that several of us Patriarchs are injured, he will inevitably take this opportunity to come directly. Having fought such a protracted war, it’s time to tear off the masks."
The Willow Association Patriarch stood up directly, suddenly releasing the powerful aura from his body, standing on this high platform, truly like an Emperor!
"But didn’t you say before that Yafei was helping him?" one of the Patriarchs asked in a low voice.
The Willow Association Patriarch narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Since I dare to stand up, it means I have enough confidence. Yafei helps him with a purpose; it’s a transaction, plain and simple. Since it’s a transaction, it’s impossible for her to risk her life for him."
"You mean the person behind you is going to help?" the Zhong Family Patriarch asked in a deep voice.
As his words fell, A’Zuo walked out from the side hall and said to everyone, "Do as the Willow Association Patriarch says. My master will come personally to help this time. Even if Yafei’s people come, even if they have a hidden sect, they can’t stop my master’s divine might!"
A’Zuo’s words were undoubtedly a reassurance to everyone.
Previously, they only knew that A’Zuo was a helper brought by the Willow Association Patriarch. But this time, coming back from the Southwest, the Willow Association Patriarch also explained some of the things behind the scenes to them.
Although they didn’t know how strong A’Zuo’s master was, just based on the power A’Zuo showed, it was enough proof of that mysterious expert’s might.
So, they were full of confidence in this final showdown with Liu Zixuan!
Everyone rose from their seats and walked down from the platform, looking sternly at the Willow Association Patriarch.
The Willow Association Patriarch nodded with satisfaction, "This time Liu Zixuan comes, presumably well-prepared, and will bring all the people around him. So, all powerful figures above the Peak of the Imperial Realm on our side must be called to go there together."
Saying this, the Willow Association Patriarch confidently raised his head, "We must in this final showdown completely eliminate all of Liu Zixuan’s main forces, and also take this opportunity to announce the power of the Celestial Dao Alliance to the worldwide martial realm!"
Several Patriarchs laughed loudly: "No matter how clever Liu Zixuan is, he wouldn’t have thought that this time, his full mobilization will result in complete annihilation!"
"Alliance Leader, what about the half-step Emperor Realm experts among those small factions that have surrendered?" a martial artist beside asked.
The Willow Association Patriarch stroked his chin: "You may not yet understand Liu Zixuan. He never likes to put all his eggs in one basket, so while attacking the manor, he’ll also think we’d put our main forces there, and will assume we don’t have people at the headquarters. So, leave those people here to play with them."
"Good, and it’s also a chance for those small sects that surrendered to see our true strength!" the Zhong Family Patriarch said proudly.
The Willow Association Patriarch waved his hand: "Go directly through the secret passage, so as not to disturb the citizens outside. After all, these are matters within the martial realm, and if innocents are harmed, the Dragon Spirit side would also be a hassle. Pass the word, let those Imperial Realm martial artists go first to entertain them, while we old guys go clean up the aftermath!"
"Yes!"
All the Patriarchs promptly left the main hall to make arrangements.
And the Willow Association Patriarch turned to A’Zuo: "Keep an eye on Yafei’s side. Once they appear, inform the master to provide support immediately, and also be wary of the appearance of other people."
"You mean people from the Profound Sword Sect?" A’Zuo asked, frowning.
"Although the possibility is small, if Liu Zixuan brings Xiaoxiao, the Profound Sword Sect will definitely take action." the Willow Association Patriarch said solemnly.
A’Zuo laughed dismissively: "Rest assured, my master will come personally this time. As long as it’s not all the hidden sects coming, there’s no problem at all."
"Good!"
...
Inside the Willow Manor.
Liu Zixuan and his team stood in the main hall, looking at the emerging Imperial Realm martial artists, all showing an unusual expression, thinking that the Willow Association Patriarch really was relying on numbers to implement a rolling strategy.
However, what of it? Aren’t they just here to send themselves to their death?
Huzi and Jiang Yunxuan were the first to rush forward full of vim, and now seeing these people, their eyes filled with battle spirit, just waiting for Liu Zixuan’s command.
The Shi Family Patriarch raised his eyebrow and said in a low voice: "It seems you were right. The Willow Association Patriarch indeed believes you’ve brought everything you have. Otherwise, there’d be no need for such a grand formation just to deal with us!"
"Firstly, he thinks this is a decisive battle, and I’d bring everyone. Secondly, he aims to announce to the martial realm the fate of opposing him by defeating me."
"You seem to understand each other well," Shi Ke laughed.
Liu Zixuan shook his head: "No, I understand him, but he presumptuously believes he understands me!"
As his words fell, Liu Zixuan suddenly shouted, "Before those big names appear, send them a big gift, make these bastards go back where they came from!"
"Just waiting for you to say that!" Jiang Yunxuan smirked, as his weapon appeared in his hand, rushing into the crowd.
And Huzi squeezed his fist: "Come on, let’s see how many can Tiger Grandpa’s one punch kill!"
Although many were sent by the Celestial Dao Alliance, they were all below the half-step Emperor Realm. In this situation, facing several Innate Emperor Realm experts, they were like a bunch of ants blocking an elephant’s path.
Just a gentle step forward and a heavy drop would flatten all, no need to even look directly!
In an instant, the main hall was filled with deafening cries of agony.
Batch after batch came forward, but nothing worked. Wherever they went, there was only death or injury... and as these people fell, the big figures behind them finally made their appearance!
