Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1078 - 1079: Tensions Rising

It can also be said that this place is the most towering location in the Divine Realm, a place where there are eminent people and spiritual treasures.

Especially the foremost divine sect that controls the Lian Tian Divine Domain, the Xiao Tian Divine Sect stands proudly here.

The Xiao Tian Divine Sect, with a history of four years.

Even with only a four-year history, it seems to possess millennia of heritage, and within the entire Divine Domain, no one dares to challenge its peak.

It's strange to say.

Originally, the Divine Realm had only Eight Domains. As for the Lian Tian Divine Domain, it seemed to descend from the sky, situated at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, closest to the heavens, with endless forces attempting to seize it, only to find no return, their whereabouts still unknown.

Yet there are rumors that all these forces met their demise within the Lian Tian Divine Domain.

Ever since then, no one dared to set foot in the Lian Tian Divine Domain, even less to test the prowess of Xiao Tian Divine Sect.

As for the Sect Leader of Xiao Tian Divine Sect, he is even more mysterious. No one knows his divine stature, but one thing is certain: for Xiao Tian Divine Sect to surpass all major forces, this Sect Leader is no ordinary figure.

Today, the Lian Tian Divine Domain is not peaceful, with many outsiders, especially in the Lian Tian Ancient City where Xiao Tian Divine Sect is located; all the major inns are crowded, filled with the old, the young, and the middle-aged.

In any case, each person exudes an incredibly terrifying aura, especially those young individuals who are exceptionally extraordinary at a glance, evidently from illustrious backgrounds.

But it's no surprise, as the Lian Tian Divine Domain is the most towering among the Nine Domains, rich in divine energy, making it the best place for cultivation. Who wouldn't want to vie for it, especially since the Lian Tian Divine Domain also possesses the momentum to dominate the Divine Realm.

At this moment, on the Peak of Divine Refining in the Lian Tian Ancient City, the Xiao Tian Divine Sect.

The vast and magnificent hall of Xiao Tian Divine Sect gathered many strong figures of the sect.

Yet the main seat at the top of the hall remained empty. No one dared sit there, which clearly indicated that despite the gathering of powerhouses, the Sect Leader was not present. On either side of the main seat, two white-haired elders stood.

"Supreme Elders!" A middle-aged man stepped forward, addressing the two white-haired elders: "Now that our Lian Tian Divine Domain has gathered forces from the Eight Domains, their intention is clear. Are we just going to sit here and await our fate?"

Upon hearing this, many eyes turned to the two Supreme Elders, evidently awaiting their decision. The Xiao Tian Divine Sect would surely declare war as soon as the Supreme Elders gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the two Supreme Elders exchanged a glance. One of them, a white-clad elder holding a Dragon Staff, spoke calmly: "Currently, our Lian Tian Divine Domain has become the target of the Eight Domains. Now united, their purpose is to force us out of the Lian Tian Divine Domain. I understand this, but without the Sect Leader, how can we resist the joint forces of the Eight Domains?"

After speaking, the other Supreme Elder continued: "For now, we can only wait. Moreover, I believe the Eight Domains dare not act recklessly, for they do not know the depths of Xiao Tian Divine Sect's capabilities, nor are they aware that the Sect Leader is not within the sect!"

"Three years ago was the best example!"

Three years ago, a similar incident occurred, yet no invaders survived. Now, with a second invasion, the forces of the Eight Domains surely weigh their actions, having likely already gathered at the foot of the Peak of Divine Refining, beginning their campaign against the Xiao Tian Divine Sect.

"But delaying like this isn't a solution. Eventually, they will uncover the internal situation of Xiao Tian Divine Sect, which would not bode well for us!"

"I have reported this matter to the Sect Leader already!" said the Supreme Elder with the Dragon Staff: "I believe the Sect Leader will arrive shortly. By then, not just the forces of the Eight Domains, even the Sixteen Domains will be no concern!"

This statement holds true, and the powers within Xiao Tian Divine Sect naturally know that although their Sect Leader is young, his strength is extraordinary, having already reached the reputed level of Martial God. However, the Sect Leader is as elusive as a dragon; can he truly receive the Supreme Elder's message?

...

At this moment, in the Lian Tian Ancient City, storm clouds gather overhead, as if an omen of great events to come, leading the people of Lian Tian Ancient City to sense impending events.

Indeed, many in the major inns are beginning to talk about the scene from three years ago.

The scene from three years ago was quite similar, with storm clouds overhead.

The only difference was that the forces of the Eight Domains directly ascended the Peak of Divine Refining. That battle was so intense that it seemed to change the color of the sky, rivers of blood flowed, and none of the Eight Domains' forces survived, all meeting their end on the Lian Tian Divine Ladder.

A torrential downpour then followed, washing away the scent of blood until the bloodstains on the Lian Tian Divine Ladder were cleansed completely.

Unexpectedly, three years later, the people of the Eight Domains rise from the ashes, seeking to make a comeback, but this time they do not act rashly, instead taking up positions in the major inns, biding their time.

Evidently, the lesson from three years ago is well remembered.

Celestial Universe International.

The Celestial Universe International Hotel, within the Xiao Tian Divine Sect, is one of the largest and most luxurious hotels.

These days, the Celestial Universe International Hotel is destined to be busy.

At this moment, in the lobby of the Celestial Universe International, a group of young people sat around a table, discussing eagerly. However, judging by their attire, they were evidently not from Lian Tian; if not, then they naturally belonged to one of the invading forces.

Just then, a handsome young man with strange attire strolled into the lobby of the Celestial Universe International.

The reason for his strange attire was because it was identical to clothing from Earth. However, his stunningly attractive face made him the focus of all attention here.

In fact, as soon as he entered the lobby, many envious gazes fell upon him, but he didn't care, and his entire being exuded a slightly mysterious aura.

This person was none other than Xiao Tianyu.

Upon his entrance, he naturally caught the attention of the management staff of the Celestial Universe International. Soon after, several staff members identified Xiao Tianyu through surveillance, and they promptly stepped forward to greet him.

However, Xiao Tianyu waved his hand as a sign of something.

The people halted abruptly, not stepping forward to disturb him.

Xiao Tianyu glanced around the lobby, his gaze eventually falling on the only empty table, then stepped forward and sat down.

Before long, a beautiful waitress approached, eyes alight with a gentle smile! "Sir, may I ask what you would like to eat?"

"Anything!" Xiao Tianyu replied casually.

The waitress was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Tianyu said, "Noodles!"

"Very well!" the waitress responded with a smile, then turned and left.

Before long, another group of young men and women entered Celestial Universe International. This group had exceptionally outstanding appearances, especially the leading lady with delicate willow-leaf eyebrows and small red lips, possessing a playful and mischievous demeanor that caught the eyes of many people.

By her attire, a young man in the lobby approached her gracefully: "You must be from the Nine Heavens Divine Sect, right?"

"Mind your own business," Qiao Ling'Er cast a glance at the young man with her beautiful eyes, her tone unpleasant. However, the young man seemed unperturbed and said, "It seems like the Nine Heavens Divine Sect is currently leaderless."

The young man's remark was accurate. Since the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor went missing a year ago, the Nine Heavens Divine Sect has indeed been without a leader.
