Chapter 198 Guo Songyang Breakthrough
And outside the lush jungle, a contest of strength and dignity seemed to have just begun.
A majestic aura suddenly erupted, rushing straight into the sky, causing the surrounding ancient trees and jungles to rustle.
When we reached halfway up the mountain, this momentum had already attracted a lot of people's attention.
Long Qianshan rode so fast that he was far away from the others, with powerful spiritual energy surrounding him and a domineering attitude that looked down on everyone else. He ignored the people at the edge of the forest who were also surrounded by spiritual energy, and stepped into the center of the square in a flash.
"Buzz!" With a sound, the spiritual energy he released spread like ripples, and his robe fluttered in the wind.
There were a few scattered figures in the empty square.
Long Qianshan took a quick look and recognized several familiar faces.
Standing firmly on the ground, Shangguan Jiannan let out a light breath, and the paleness on his face faded slightly.
"Everyone, you're here pretty early."
Long Qianshan's voice was loud and resonant over the square, attracting everyone's attention. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to act rashly because of the Tianjian Sect's outstanding performance in the battle of the Netherworld and the implicit support of powerful allies such as the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Wuji Palace.
"Please show us your invitations."
On the side of the Temple of War, an elder dressed in gold-rimmed clothing spoke at the right time, approached quickly, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
Even when facing a well-known figure like Long Qianshan, he insisted on his principles and asked to check the invitation.
This move is undoubtedly announcing to everyone: For this event, only invitations are accepted, regardless of identity.
Hearing this, Long Qianshan frowned slightly and his face instantly became gloomy.
But then, he flipped his palm and a ray of light shot out.
The elder was secretly shocked when he saw this, and quickly mobilized his spiritual energy to condense a spiritual energy barrier in front of him.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise and the powerful impact made him stagger a few steps.
After steadying himself, he looked down and saw an invitation in his hand. He secretly felt lucky.
This scene undoubtedly taught a lesson to everyone present: the rules of the Temple of War God should not be underestimated.
A smile immediately broke out on his face, he quickly apologized, and then retreated cautiously.
The War God Temple was very prestigious, and as a mere elder, he would never dare to offend the Sect Master easily.
"It seems that the War God Temple intends to make a big move this time to establish its authority."
Yin Wuqing stood aside, staring at the figure in the distance with a serious expression, then changed the subject and spoke in a low voice.
"Guo Songyang has most likely entered the realm of the Sword Sect."
Originally it was just a secret speculation in my mind, but now it seems to be a done deal.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Tianjian Sect suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.
"The situation seems to have reached its most critical juncture."
Everyone in the Tianjian Sect sighed at the same time, and they all had the same thoughts in their hearts.
After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone moved to one side of the square and waited in silence.
The palace complex behind is majestic and breathtaking. Under the sunlight, the flying eaves and glazed tiles shine with colorful brilliance, adding a bit of splendor and mystery to the square.
While waiting, a burst of wild and uninhibited laughter suddenly resounded through the sky, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rose into the air from the palace complex, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Shangguan Jiannan felt the sharp gaze and his heart tightened. He secretly thought that something was not right. His face instantly lost color and turned as pale as paper.
"Guo...Cheng..." He uttered these two words with difficulty, his voice full of bitterness and helplessness.
A person suddenly appeared in the air, surrounded by surging spiritual energy that quickly spread out like an invisible storm.
Shangguan Jiannan's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw this. The sharp aura was like a sharp edge, instantly enveloping his whole body, making him feel a biting chill, as if the fire of life could be extinguished at any time.
"Hmph!" At this moment, a low and powerful roar pierced the sky. The sound waves were like waves, spreading layer by layer, instantly dispersing the cold aura around, and everything returned to calm.
Guo Cheng's figure flashed through the air like a ghost, his face as cold as ice, as if the air around him had condensed into frost because of his presence. His eyes revealed a deep displeasure and irritability, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Shangguan Jiannan, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and felt a little relieved. The sudden fear he had just felt also gradually dissipated. However, he still stared at Guo Cheng vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.
After a brief moment of shock, Guo Cheng quickly recovered. He turned around, facing the vast square below, and announced in a loud voice: "Thank you all for coming today. The viewing ceremony of this hall will be held the day after tomorrow. Please move to the South Hall to rest for a while, and then we will witness this historic moment together." His eyes slowly swept across the major sects below, and a smug smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The breakthrough of Guo Songyang, the leader of the War God Temple, has undoubtedly greatly improved the overall strength of the War God Temple. Now, in the entire Apocalypse Dynasty, there are probably not many forces that can compete with the War God Temple.
When the heads of the various sects in the square heard the news, they were all shocked and shocked. They immediately realized that Guo Songyang might have successfully entered the realm of the Sword Sect and become a true sword master. The invitation this time was actually to witness the beginning of a new era.
"This is going to be tricky..." Many clan leaders murmured to themselves. Facing such a powerful War God Temple, they felt unprecedented pressure.
"The structure of the ten major sects is likely to change drastically."
The various clan leaders pondered in their hearts, fully aware of the far-reaching implications of this matter, and their expressions became complicated and solemn.
However, facing the personal reception from Guo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Temple of War God, although they were unwilling, they maintained outward respect and restraint. After all, those present were all shrewd people and knew when to endure.
Under Guo Cheng's careful planning, each major sect had its own hall to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
... "This War God Temple is really arrogant."
Inside the main hall, a disciple from the Tianjian Sect muttered in dissatisfaction, with a hint of resentment in his tone.
The surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Although no one spoke, their furrowed brows revealed their inner displeasure.
After a moment, a series of heavy exhalations were heard in the venue. Obviously, although everyone was unwilling, they also realized that if the news from the Temple of War was true, the situation would be extremely difficult and the existing balance might be completely broken.
Since Guo Cheng led everyone into the War God Temple last time, there has been no news about the War God Temple. This has caused the resentment of the major sects to grow. They all feel that they have been fooled by the War God Temple. However, time passed quickly, and three days passed in a flash. The sky became as blue as a wash, and the air was particularly fresh and pleasant. At this time, the Taixu Land, which had been quiet for a long time, finally ushered in a long-lost lively atmosphere, as if the long-sleeping War God Temple suddenly woke up.
After the battle in the netherworld, the ten major sects gathered together again, but this time, the leaders were no longer the young disciples, but the heads and masters of each sect. According to the arrangement of the War God Temple, everyone came to the back mountain, which used to be a forbidden area, and only the high-ranking officials of the War God Temple were qualified to enter. Now, the master of the War God Temple, Guo Songyang, personally ordered the gate of the back mountain to be opened. This is also the first time in the history of the War God Temple that this mysterious area has been opened to the outside world.
