Emperor’s Domination

iding the elephant was the third elder; the one with the flood dragon was the fourth; the old woman was fifth in line.

“Boom!” Another figure came out of the portal.
He left behind footprints in the sky as he walked.
They remained there for a long time without dispersing.

This old man’s three-colored robe fluttered to the wind, the same with his long beard.
When he stroke it, a glint could be seen from the individual hair.

He stood there looking like a divine mountain – uncrossable and demanded respect.

“The leader of the seven and the sect master of Three Truths!” Many became astonished.

This person was as famous as Ping Suoweng in the northern West King.

This made the members of Divine Black even more nervous.
More signs pointed to a relentless war.

“This won’t end well.” The spectating experts took a deep breath and talked among themselves.

“Brother Suoweng, we demand an explanation.” Three Truths Sect Master spoke.

His voice was as sharp as a blade.
Each word carved into the air and made those from Divine Black very uncomfortable.
It felt as if they were being carved.

“Long time no see, Fellow Daoist.” Ping Suoweng floated above South Conch Peak and still had a friendly expression: “May I ask the reason for this mobilization?”

The two had a stark contrast in appearance.
Suoweng looked like a friendly grandpa right now.

Nonetheless, those in the know were aware that this external appearance was a lie.
The real Suoweng was ruthless and decisive when need be.

“You already know.
Your sect killed our disciples, the chief protector, and Elder Fu, resulting in the deepest animosity.
You have broken the pact and declared war on us!” The sect master responded.

“Incorrect.” Suoweng replied: “Your men attacked first and destroyed our gate, trying to break into Jade Bird Peak.
We were acting in self-defense.
They can only blame themselves for being unskilled.”

Suoweng didn’t try to watch his words since he knew that it was a waste of time.
The enemy had already mobilized to this level.
This could only end with a battle.

Three Truths was trying to gain the moral high ground with an excuse for attacking Divine Black.
Suoweng simply wanted to correct the narrative to the public.

The spectators exchanged glances.
Many of them didn’t know about the little details.

In reality, the death of Liu Menglong’s group wasn’t made public yet the army of Three Truths was already here.

This meant that Three Truths have prepared to mobilize long ago.
They would have come even if that group had survived.

“Self-defense?” The sect master’s eyes pulsed with aggression: “This is your answer? Your justification for breaking the pact?”

“Dao Brother, we both know what’s going on, stop wasting time.
Your army is already outside, what’s the point of talking about the pact now? But if you actually care about peace, then withdraw your army first and we can have a real discussion.” Suoweng retorted.

By this point, even a fool could tell that the bowstring has been drawn to the limit with the arrow readied.
Stopping it from shooting out was impossible.
