Chapter 556 Gathering Clouds (2/2)

Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind was suddenly heard at this moment. Countless gazes could only watch as the surrounding Genesis Qi rippled, before a giant ship broke through space itself and appeared at the center of the place.

The ship eventually came to a halt right before the distorting space.

Meanwhile, four mighty gazes looked over from the Sword Seeker Sect, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, Heavenly Ghost Sect and North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall.

Peak master Lianyi’s figure appeared on the bow of the ship. She looked towards the locations of the other four overlord sects and said with a smile, “Everyone has arrived rather early.”

The figures of the numerous Cangxuan Sect disciples were revealed behind her, as they curiously gazed at their surroundings.

“There’s still half a day before the Mythic Utopia opens. Peak master Lianyi has arrived at quite an appropriate time.” A figure appeared from the direction of the Sword Seeker Sect and smiled.

The figure was dressed in a simple hemp garment, and had a head of silver hair. His face was exceptionally handsome, with skin that looked as soft and fair as a baby’s. There was a smiling expression in his eyes as he looked towards peak master Lianyi.

Peak master Lianyi was slightly taken aback by the sight of him, before she quickly responded, “Valley master Yin Xiao.”

The Sword Seeker Sect had six valleys, and their valley masters were akin to the peak masters of the Cangxuan Sect.

The smiling valley master Yin Xiao clearly wanted to chat, but peak master Lianyi immediately turned away, causing him to let out a bitter laugh, before softly sighing in melonchanic manner.

Behind him, the Sword Seeker Sect disciples stared at this scene in astonishment. One must know that valley master Yin Xiao was famously indifferent to those of the opposite sex in their sect. Yet, why was he being so friendly towards the Cangxuan Sect’s peak master Lianyi? There must be an old story behind this.

Although they were curious, it was clear that none of them dared to ask valley master Yin Xiao about it.

At this moment, the representatives from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall also appeared, and called out their greetings to peak master Lianyi.

Peak master Lianyi naturally responded in turn.

Amidst the crowd, Zhou Yuan looked towards the four other overlord sects as he mumbled, “I wonder if Qingyu, Luluo, Li Chunjun and the others are also here.”

The group of them had split up after arriving at the Shengzhou Continent. With the exception of Zuoqiu Qingyu, Zhou Yuan had yet to meet the others, and naturally wondered if they were present in a gathering of the many sects like this.

His eyes scanned the four sects, but was unable to find anyone familiar due to the great distance between them. In the end, he could only withdraw his gaze. If they were indeed here, they would likely meet soon inside.

After peak master Lianyi and the others greeted each other, their gazes turned back towards the increasingly distorted space.

It would evidently not be long before the Mythic Utopia fully reappeared in this land.

Time swiftly passed under countless expectant gazes.

Peak master Lianyi lifted her head to look at the sky, as she muttered, “Look at the time, can’t believe Sacred Palace still isn’t here yet. Are they really going so pompous that they will appear only at the very last moment?”

Hints of mockery could be heard in her voice.

The other factions did not comment, clearly knowing the grudge between the Cangxuan Sect and Sacred Palace.

Boom!

A loud boom suddenly sounded the moment these words left peak master Lianyi’s lips. Next, everyone watched the space to their front begin to crumble as a giant hand slowly reached out. The hand carried a white mountain, on which numerous figures could be seen.

Under the attention of countless gazes, a figure in black at the top of the mountain opened his eyes. His eyes were akin to a bottomless abyss, and seemed to contain a terrifying earth-shattering power as they looked towards peak master Lianyi.

Rumble!

The space around the Cangxuan Sect ship instantly began to crumble, as a destructive force surged over from all directions with unstoppable momentum as if wanting to crush the boat. The expression of the numerous disciples atop the boat rapidly changed, clearly not expecting such an important figure from the Sacred Palace to attack without any warning.

At the same time, an indifferent voice sounded from the figure seated atop the mountain.

“Hehe, peak master Lianyi is still so impatient after so many years. However, the current Cangxuan Sect is no longer the same sect it once was in the past, so shouldn’t you learn to restrain yourself a little? Never mind, allow me to teach you some proper manners today.”
