Chapter 1709: All Parties' Reaction
The Curse Planet in the Nephilic Judge Star Zone was a planet that was covered in lightning all year round.
It was not only the weather, there was a lord-level Odyl lingering above the clouds.
It was said that it was a technique that a lord-level senior from the Nephilic Judge had Tribe left behind in the past. It was now being controlled by a half-step Lord through the activation of a Dao Weapon.
Even lower-level Lords dared not trespass the territory of this planet.
This was where the Nephilic Judge Tribe's headquarters was.
Since Kylie joined the Nephilic Judge Tribe, she spent most of her time on this planet.
To be exact, she spent most of her time in the tallest holy tower on the Curse Planet.
It was a giant silver tower that was tens of thousands of meters tall.
There was a lady with purple hair and in a white dress at the top of the giant tower. She stood before the window, watching the lightning strikes of various colors flash in the rain outside.
It was Kylie who had her military uniform removed.
"Master has just sent the invitation over..." Kylie said while looking outside the window, as if she was talking to herself. "The Sword Alliance he founded has been upgraded to a grade-7 organization. He wants us to join the celebration."
"He should have conducted this celebration much earlier. He has dragged it for over a month." A petite yet busty lady with red hair walked over slowly.
That was the clone that Bloody had left behind with the Nephilic Judge Tribe.
"I chose to stay with the Nephilic Judge Tribe back then because I initially wanted to borrow their strength to help him as much as I could. In the end, I did nothing." Kylie turned around and looked at Bloody.
"Indeed, I didn't expect master to grow to such a level so quickly." Bloody nodded lightly. "I speculated that, even if he didn't need a hundred years to elevate to lord-level, he would need at least 30 to 50 years, and we could borrow the Nephilic Judge Tribe's strength to protect him throughout those tens of years of growth."
"Turns out he elevated to lord-level within three years. It made all my future plans worthless."
"However, that's not a bad thing. Master becoming powerful saves us a lot of trouble."
"How powerful exactly is he now?" Kylie could not help but ask.
"I don't know. No matter what, he's much more powerful than I am now." Bloody shook her head while smiling.
"Don't you have a rough estimate of his power?" Kylie continued to ask.
"No. The gap between our abilities is too great." Bloody continued to smile as she shook her head. "I heard from Charcoal that he defeated Bai and Teng Ran when they fought him together."
"After his elevation?" Kylie raised her eyebrows lightly.
"Yes. From what Charcoal said, they must've fought right after he had elevated and upgraded his rank." Bloody nodded with a smile.
"There's one more thing that might be a better indication of his ability," Bloody continued to say, "If my judgment is correct, he must've killed the bunch of Raiders who came from the universe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have announced the existence of the Sword Alliance in such a high profile manner."
"Those guys were middle-rank lords at the very least." Although Kylie had never come into contact with them herself, when the bunch of Raiders assigned someone to send the letter asking the Nephilic Judge Tribe to put Lin Huang on the wanted list, she sensed the aura that they did not bother concealing at all. She could roughly estimate their strength based on their aura.
"You can seize the opportunity to test his ability when you visit him this time. You should give it a shot since you've elevated to lord-level." Bloody had a playful grin on her face.
"Not interested," Kylie turned down the suggestion directly.
She knew very well that, even though she had been elevated to lord-level, her combat ability should be similar to Bai who was beaten earlier.
Bai and Teng Ran were tortured when they fought him together. It would be impossible that she could be Lin Huang's match if she was to fight him alone.
Moreover, that fight was something that took place close to two months ago.
The current Lin Huang would only be more powerful than he had been two months ago.
...
At the Blood Sickle Shelter in Death Sickle's headquarters, Buried Heaven gathered the couple of Blood Sickle members in the meeting room.
"Lin Huang sent us a message. There'll be a celebration for the Sword Alliance's upgrade to a grade-7 organization in three days. He invited our Death Sickle to join the celebration."
Buried Heaven projected the invitation as he spoke.
"I think it's best that the few of us here attend it. After all, Lin Huang came from Death Sickle, and he was the one who avenged Old Sun." As a human of Lin Huang's own kind, Gao Ming was the first to voice his opinion.
"I think all of us should go too. In the entire God Territory, Death Sickle should be the ones closest to him. We should support him." Hu Xian'er was the second to agree.
"I've no objections." Boundless Blood nodded lightly. "I even think that we can bring some of Lin Huang's old friends to join the occasion."
...
"Now let's proceed to the next topic. What gift should we prepare for the celebration this time?" Without skipping a beat, Buried Heaven broached the second topic.
...
At the Gods Shelter in God Capital's headquarters, Shen Tu squinted lightly as he sat at the main seat in the meeting room.
There were men and women dressed in luxurious clothes on both sides of the long table in the meeting room. They were in flawless human forms.
"Tell me what you think about the Sword Alliance's invitation this time."
"I think we can just give them a symbolic gift to prevent outsiders from calling God Capital rude." An old man with white hair sitting on Shen Tu's left took the lead to voice his opinion.
"I think there's no need to care." A blonde lady cleaned her nails absent-mindedly. "That brat surnamed Lin is just an inferior human. Among the rest of their members, even the outstanding ones are mixed-blood. I don't want to dirty my shoes going to such a place."
"That's right. I wonder where a lowly human got the guts to build an organization in our God Territory!" A young man with a slicked-back hairstyle went along with the lady's comment. "Now they've even been upgraded to grade-7?! If not for Royal's endorsement, I'd attack their headquarters and sever his head from his shoulders."
"Are there any other opinions?" Shen Tu glanced at the crowd present expressionlessly.
"I think we should drop by," the middle-aged man sitting on Shen Tu's right spoke slowly, "To show our God Capital's magnanimity. We can conveniently check out how powerful their Chief is and boost God Capital's reputation in front of everyone as well."
"Old Jue's suggestion isn't too shabby." The man with slicked-back hairstyle sitting further behind echoed his approval. "The Sword Alliance is very popular lately. They would indeed by a great stepping stone. We don't have to humiliate them. All we have to do is to suppress them and let everyone know that our God Capital is more powerful than the Sword Alliance. It depends on how the media wants to write about it."
...
All of a sudden, the entire God Territory was discussing the Sword Alliance's celebration event.
Almost everyone who received the invitation was discussing how many people they would send and what gift they should give.
Those who did not receive the invitation were waiting eagerly. They were waiting for the live broadcast stream from the media.
After all, this would be a celebration even grander than the time when Death Sickle upgraded.
Not only that, apart from the grade-7 organizations and the small number of grade-6 organizations who found out that Sword Alliance's Chief was called Lin Huang, the rest of the organizations and cultivators did not know that the Sword Alliance's Chief was the person on the wanted list.
They were very curious about what exactly the Sword Alliance's Chief looked like.
