The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 2864 - 2839: All Factions Gather!
September 11, there are only four days left until the Demon Slaying Conference co-sponsored by the Great Witch Dynasty and the East Continent Academy.
Since the announcement of the Demon Slaying Conference twenty days ago, countless strong ones from across the Territories of the East Continent have come to witness the event.
This is not merely a day to annihilate the Demon Sect Hierarch and proclaim peace in the East Continent, but more importantly, it is a rare gathering of the East Continent’s powerful figures.
At least on the East Continent, there hasn’t been such an unprecedented assembly of strong ones for hundreds or even thousands of years.
On the Golden Palace of the Imperial City of the Great Witch Dynasty, the Great Witch Emperor solemnly said, "We must entertain these strong ones who have come to the Great Witch Dynasty to witness the event. They are all peak strong ones from the Vast Territory of the East Continent!"
The eunuch below nodded with a smile, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince’s previous instructions, we have already built tens of thousands of Imperial Residences and villas outside the Imperial City, enough to accommodate the strong ones from various Territories who have come to the Great Witch Dynasty!"
"Hmm." The Great Witch Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Additionally, the Sword Deity Clan from the Sword Domain and the Netherworld King Clan from the Soul-breaking Area must be arranged inside the Imperial City, as they are currently the two most powerful Territories of the East Continent!"
The eunuch nodded and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. The Clan Leader Liujiang Yun of the Sword Domain Sword Deity Clan and the Clan Leader Yin Ling of the Netherworld King Clan have already led strong ones from their clans into the Imperial City!"
The Great Witch Emperor’s eyes flashed as he asked, "Have the Four Hidden World Families arrived?"
The eunuch nodded and said, "The Zhang Family from Heaven’s Zhang Family and the Li Family from Kunxu have already arrived, and the old servant has arranged them in the villas inside the Imperial City according to Your Majesty’s instructions!"
"As for the warriors from the Su Clan in the Everlasting Night City and the Song Clan from God-Demon Undying Mountain, they have yet to arrive at the Imperial City!"
"But the envoys we sent previously reported that warriors from the Su Clan and Song Clan have clearly expressed they will send strong ones to participate in this Demon Slaying Conference!"
"I believe they should be on their way now!"
The Great Witch Emperor asked, "Who have come from the Zhang Family and Li Family?"
The eunuch said, "The warrior from Heaven’s Zhang Family is a Zhang Family Ancestor, Zhang Yushan, and the number one in the younger generation of the Zhang Family, Zhang Xinghe!"
The Great Witch Emperor’s eyes flashed as he smiled and said, "So it’s Zhang Yushan and Zhang Xinghe coming."
"Zhang Yushan was once one of the top strong ones in the Sky Area, and his presence signifies the attitude of the Sky Area!"
"As for Zhang Xinghe, I have also heard that the Crown Prince Wu He once said that when the Sky Area came to the East Continent Academy for discussion, he had a confrontation with Zhang Xinghe; this person is indeed a king among the younger generation!"
"What about Kunxu? Is Li Zhengyi coming?"
The Great Witch Emperor nodded slightly and asked again.
The eunuch said, "The person from Kunxu is not Li Zhengyi, but another Li Family Ancestor from Kunxu, named Li Fu, accompanied by Kunxu’s Tianjiao Li Bu Zheng and Li Chuyi!"
Upon hearing that Li Zhengyi didn’t come, the Great Witch Emperor seemed somewhat disappointed but nodded and said, "Li Fu is Li Zhengyi’s uncle, and his arrival also signifies that Li Zhengyi has come!"
"As for Li Bu Zheng and Li Chuyi, these two are indeed extraordinary as one of the Kunxu Ten Sons!"
"Alright, keep an eye on them and don’t treat them poorly!"
"Furthermore, arrange for me to meet with the Zhang Family from Heaven’s Zhang Family and the Li Family from Kunxu."
The Great Witch Emperor said coldly.
The eunuch nodded and said, "Yes!"
The eunuch turned and left the Golden Palace, and coincidentally, the Crown Prince Wu He walked in at this moment.
"Father Emperor." Wu He smiled broadly and bowed.
The Great Witch Emperor nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "Seeing the smile on the Emperor’s child, I suppose the arrangements are settled?"
Wu He smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Father Emperor. Lin Bai will not appear until the Demon Slaying Conference is over."
"Oh? Really?" The Great Witch Emperor said with a slight pleasure.
Wu He smiled and said, "I have placed him in the Eighteen Levels of Hell."
The Great Witch Emperor’s eyes flashed and said, "What a brilliant plan by the royal child! The Eighteen Levels of Hell are filled with a group of long-imprisoned criminals, and having them watch over Lin Bai is the most suitable choice!"
"Moreover, even if the East Continent Academy finds out about this, at worst we just kill all the criminals in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and it won’t implicate our Great Witch Dynasty!"
Wu He nodded and smiled, "Yes, Father Emperor."
The Great Witch Emperor said, "Originally, I didn’t want to breach the agreement with Saint Lin Bai, but...the Shenwu Kingdom is aggressive, forcing us to do so!"
"We must gain enough power from this Demon Slaying Conference to dominate the East Continent!"
"There can be no mistakes!"
The Great Witch Emperor said coldly.
Wu He nodded slightly.
As the Great Witch Emperor said, although the agreement with Lin Bai hadn’t expired, he didn’t want to antagonize Lin Bai, the Saint of the East Continent Academy, as Lin Bai might very well become the ruler of the East Continent.
But now, the Shenwu Kingdom has already dominated the thousand Territories on the left side of the Dongsheng River, ruling the river and eyeing the Great Witch Dynasty.
The Great Witch Dynasty has to change, holding the Demon Slaying Conference, and taking this opportunity to attract strong ones and expand the dynasty.
Thus, during the Demon Slaying Conference, the Great Witch Emperor has to break the agreement with Lin Bai.
Because the Great Witch Emperor doesn’t know what method Lin Bai might use to unlock Zhao Yue’s divine soul. If it can be unlocked, what if Zhao Yue no longer exists? What if Lin Bai forcibly rescues Zhao Yue?
These are all uncertain factors.
Therefore, the Great Witch Emperor has to take a risky move, breaking the agreement with Lin Bai, and now using strategy to trap Lin Bai in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, not allowing him to leave.
The Great Witch Emperor said, "Well, since Lin Bai’s matter is arranged, the Emperor child, prepare, and come with me to meet some people!"
The Crown Prince Wu He asked, "Which power does Father Emperor intend to meet first?"
The Great Witch Emperor’s eyes flashed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let’s start with the Sword Domain’s Sword Deity Clan and the Soul-breaking Area’s Netherworld King Clan first. As long as these two Territories are willing to submit to the Great Witch Dynasty, our strength will increase by half!"
"Moreover, we’d best also enlist the Four Hidden World Families!"
"I’ve already arranged for us to meet with the Zhang Family and Li Family."
Wu He nodded slightly and smiled, "I still have some connections with Zhang Xinghe from the Zhang Family. During his visit to the East Continent Academy for discussion, I had some encounters with him, and the impression left was decent!"
"I believe when we visit the Zhang Family, they will have a good impression of us."
Both Wu He and the Great Witch Emperor smiled slightly.
While the Great Witch Emperor and Wu He are plotting the steps to dominate the East Continent, countless strong ones have gathered in the Imperial City of the Great Witch Dynasty.
Simultaneously, on the other side, inside the Eighteen Levels of Hell of the Great Witch Dynasty, more than thirty thousand prisoners yearning for freedom are glaring at Lin Bai viciously...
"I advise you all not to seek death!" Lin Bai coldly said, looking at the surrounding prisoners.
