Chapter 103: Meeting - 103
Once every single seat in the hall was filled, Anna raised her hand in the air. In an instant, everyone shut up.
"Today we have gathered together to take part in the 15th centennial council of races. We will first make sure that nothing too unruly has been done in the Zhou World before we get to more important matters. Any representatives who have something to speak of on that matter may stand now." She said.
The representatives she spoke of were not the rulers of each of the lands, but the ones directly under them. For example, the representatives of the beast lands would be the leaders of each race. The representatives of the dinosaurs would consist of the leader of each species. The representatives of the Supreme beast lands would be a few of the more powerful beasts. The representatives of the celestial lands would be the tower leaders or big city mayors.
One thing that stayed consistent was that every representative was at the soul formation level minimum with no exception. As for how many Soul formation cultivators there were, that differed for every race.
For example, although the celestial race now had 50 soul formation cultivators, they only brought 10.
The rest also had more soul formation cultivators that they didn't bring.
Another thing to note about the meeting was the two people sitting behind Anna and the dragon king. They too had a cultivation of void traversing and sat behind the leaders of their race.
As for the representatives, they sat on the first layer of seats.
Hearing her words, a few people from each race stood up. They each reported different things, but they each had the gist of, "Someone did something very bad and we cant catch him. We request assistance" or "We need help finding out who did these bad things, we request assistance."
It only took a couple minutes for everyone to report and a couple minutes for the leaders of the races to declare actions.
After that, Anna once again hushed the crowd and spoke.
"Next, we need to speak of the monkey king's recent infringement upon the dinosaur's territory. Do you have an explanation Sun Wukong?" Anna asked.
"The rabbit race has decided to expand their farm and needs more area. We will compensate the dinosaur race with 1000 gold coins for the land we took." The monkey king said with his gruff, yet arrogant voice.
"One thousand gold coins is not nearly enough to cover the losses of the territory you took! Not to mention the fact that it is simply an insult to our race!" The titanosaur said in anger. His voice echoed throughout the entire hall, sending chills through many people's spines.
"Then why don't you do something about it." The monkey king retorted.
Hearing him, the titanosaur stood up from his chair in a rage when immense pressures descended upon them.
"Enough!" Both Anna and the dragon king said at the same time. Both of their auras worked to suppress the two parties.
The titanosaur fell back into his chair while the monkey king stopped with his arrogant look.
"Remember." Anna started. "We all have one common enemy. Death" She said.
"Sun Wukong, we all know that you didn't need to take the dinosaurs' land in order to expand a farm. You merely did it because you wanted to flaunt your minuscule power. You have plenty of unoccupied room to expand behind your empire. If you take such actions against the dinosaurs again, we will personally intervene." Anna said domineeringly.
Everything she said was true. The four lands didn't even take up half of the world. There was still plenty of land for anyone and everyone to use or claim.
The monkey king didn't retort and simply nodded at her words.
"Speaking of death, it has been then thousand years since his last attacks. He could come any minute and attempt to wipe us out. The next time he arrives, we must band together and kill him permanently." Anna siad.
It was at this time that the dragon king chimed in.
"We've already talked about this. Can we even kill him? He is literally death."
"No, he is not death, but the grim reaper. He said it himself. In fact, even if he was death itself we could kill him. There are no absolutes in the world." Anna said to the dragon king.
The rest of the rulers nodded their heads in agreement at her words. The grim reaper had been a hot topic for the last ten thousand years and not a single sentient being, no matter how weak, had not heard his name.
Stories of him had been told to children for many years as if he was some sort of monster under their beds. Parents would say that if they misbehaved, the grim reaper would come get them.
After Anna spoke about the grim reaper, the meeting moved on to many different topics. The most interesting thing being a proposal from the dragon king himself to allow the younger generations to spar every one hundred years.
It would incite the younger people to cultivate faster while also foreshadowing the future of the races. The battle would only be for those younger than a hundred years, which was treated as fairly young by any cultivators.
After a fair amount of time was spent adjusting rules and even just talking about whether it was a good idea or not, the idea was agreed upon and set to start at the next assembly in a hundred years.
Each land would bring 5 young talents to compete in the competition and the winner and runner up would both get prizes.
After a few more hours, the meeting was almost over. Just as Anna was about to declare the meeting over, her eyes shot wide open.
Turning to the crowd, she looked at one person in particular. That person was the cloaked Zhou fan, who had just transformed under his cloak.
A scythe appeared in the hands of the man she was staring at and Death could be felt running over everyone in the meeting.
Chapter 104: Guess Who's Back - 104
Before anyone could react to the sudden aura of death that filled the room. The cloaked man swung the scythe that appeared in his hand towards the four rulers.
Only Anna was able to react in time due to her noticing in advance and sent an ice spear shooting towards the slice of Qi that the man shot out.
The attacks collided and they both dispersed in mid air, with the man's attack somewhat overpowering Annas.
The man was not Zhou Fan, but a fake body that Zhou Fan replaced himself with. It had the cultivation of void traversing 7 and Death Qi, along with Bone Qi and Blood Qi now.
The grim reapers' new cultivation level one upped both anna and the dragon king, whose cultivation had reached the 6th level of void traversing, and exceeded the monkey king and the titanosaur by multiple levels.
Zhou Fan stood in the sky and watched the events unfold.
As soon as Anna and the cloaked man's attacks collided, the other three rulers jumped out of their chairs. They could naturally tell what the cloak man's aura represented, including the monkey king and the titanosaur who had never seen him.
In fact, everyone could tell the moment he released his aura that he was the grim reaper from legend. The four rulers stood in fighting positions while the nascent soul cultivators in the meeting ran away outside.
As for the remaining soul formation and void traversing cultivators, they too were ready to fight the grim reaper.
As the last nascent soul cultivator scurried out of the building, the cloaked man looked up. His face hadn't changed a day from the last time they had fought.
"Did you miss me?" The grim reaper asked.
"Of course. But you came to the wrong place." Anna said before raising her hand in the air.
All of a sudden, a formation that covered the entire meeting hall was activated. Power poured into Anna, increasing her strength immensely.
The grim reaper's face got serious as he launched an attack at her in an attempt to disrupt her growing strength.
Unfortunately, the dragon king who had been standing at the side in humanoid form expanded back to his dragon form and completely blocked the attack, taking in only minor injuries.
He then stared at the grim reaper and spewed out a breath of magma and flames that contained an immense amount of Demon Qi, along with all the other Qi's that made it up.
The grim reaper didn't counter attack, but shot in the air far above the dragon king's head and dodged the attack. He then pushed his palm down and a move similar to one of Zhou Fans descended from the air.
A giant bone palm made of Bone Qi and Death Qi descended from the sky. The attack hit the unsuspecting dragon king and forced him miles away and into the ground. His body only stopped moving after he took down half of a mountain range. The attack had severely injured him.
Zhou Fan commended the dragon king for his increasing size that now dwarfed most mountains, but he shouldn't have underestimated the grim reaper like that.
The grim reaper once again turned his attention to Anna, but she too was now looking at him with a blue aura covering her eyes and her entire body. It seemed like a storm was happening around every inch of her.
She punched in an uppercut towards the grim reaper and an arm made of ice Qi shot out from the ground towards him. The grim reaper attempted to dodge, but he realized that the surroundings were locked down by ice Qi and he wouldn't be able to break through them in time to dodge.
The grim reaper repeated one of his old moves and sent a Xiaolong type dragon made of Death Qi to collide with the fist. His attack made the fist slow down and weaken, but the grim reaper still had to take it head on.
He punched out with his fist and collided with the giant arm of ice. The grim reaper was sent flying into the air before he fell back down and landed on the ground, surprisingly standing.
His bone arm was cracked a bit as he received more of an injury than he did in the entire last fight alone.
After attacking, Anna still stood in the air with her aura of multiple blues rumbling around her.
"You two, come help me end this fight." She said while looking at the titanosaur and the monkey king.
The two didn't dare disobey her orders at a time like this. The titanosaur expanded back to its dinosaur form while the monkey king grabbed his staff from behind his back.
The three started to rush towards the grim reaper, Anna flying and the other two on the ground. The grim reaper also started to run towards the three and met them in the middle. He first reached Anna and slashed down towards her with a Bone sword covered in death Qi.
She briefly dodged to the left as the monkey king came from the side and extended his staff now covered with buddhist Qi towards the grim reaper's hip.
His attack reached the grim reaper and pushed him to the other side, where the titanosaur stomped down on him, pushing him deep into the ground with slight injuries.
The grim reaper didn't pause for a second as he shot out from the ground, his bones now cracked in more places, and formed a giant scythe that shot out towards the titanosaur.
The titanosaur's size showed its disadvantage as he couldn't move away in time and the attack horizontally cut him deeply.
It wasn't enough to put him out of the battle, but enough to keep him away for half a minute.
Anna arrived above the grim reapers head and slashed down with an ice sword. The grim reaper was about to dodge when the monkey king shot up from below him and punched him in the gut. The attack made him fly back directly in the path of Anna's ice sword.
