Chapter 306: The Gathering of the Supremes of the Hall of Souls
After the three leaders made their decision, they did not hesitate further and took immediate action, simultaneously informing the Alchemy Tower about the matter.
As they had not yet reached the point of a full-scale war, the three leaders could decide alone without needing the Alchemy Tower's consent. However, being the true core of the Alchemy Tower, the Alchemy Tower had to be aware of the situation.
The great forces of the central region of Zhongzhou were aware of the small conflicts between the Alchemy Tower and the Hall of Souls. However, seeing that both sides seemed to maintain a restrained attitude and not reach a full-scale war, most forces simply observed.
After all, the conflict between these two giants was not something ordinary forces could get involved in; doing so could result in their total annihilation.
However, this time was different. The Alchemy Tower had begun to widely invite the powerful of Zhongzhou. As the main force of alchemists in the Dou Qi continent, their power to convene was unmatched.
Many powerful individuals wanted to establish a relationship with the Alchemy Tower but found no way to do so. Now, the Alchemy Tower was actively inviting the powerful of Zhongzhou to join them.
Those eager to connect with the Alchemy Tower were immediately tempted. Even if they faced the Hall of Souls, they were willing to take the risk. After all, the Hall of Souls could not offer them the high-level pills they needed.
The Alchemy Tower, with the largest group of alchemists in the Dou Qi continent, naturally tilted the decisions of the powerful towards them.
The Alchemy Tower's move to widely invite the powerful of Zhongzhou also stirred the entire region. Was the Alchemy Tower really going to start a full-scale war against the Hall of Souls? In no time, all of Zhongzhou was in a buzz. Countless people discussed and speculated about the development of the conflict between the Alchemy Tower and the Hall of Souls, passionately debating it.
The invitations from the Alchemy Tower were not only directed at the powerful but also at allied forces.
The firm and even desperate attitude of the Alchemy Tower did not go unnoticed by the Hall of Souls.
In a place in Zhongzhou was the Hall of Heaven, one of the three divisions of the Hall of Souls, and the central headquarters of the Hall of Souls. Flashes of spiritual lights appeared in the great hall, forming human-like spiritual bodies seated in chairs.
Zhongzhou was immense, and the high commands of the Hall of Souls communicated through projections of spiritual bodies.
However, several main chairs were empty. The matter with the Alchemy Tower had gathered most of the high commands of the Hall of Souls.
"Ha, it seems that the Hall Master and several of the Supremes are busy. So it's up to me to preside over this meeting."
The speaker was a thin-looking old man whose seat had a number five inscribed.
The others remained silent. The Fifth Supreme, unfazed, continued speaking.
"What we will discuss today is how to deal with the Alchemy Tower."
"Hmph! I said it before, we should not have taken advantage of the destruction of one of our branches to provoke the Alchemy Tower. Our plan is not yet ready."
One of those present snorted, evidently dissatisfied.
"It's no use saying that now. The Hall of Souls has already acted against the Alchemy Tower. With the attitude they have shown, it seems they are willing to go to a full-scale war."
"If they want to fight, let them. I don't want to participate. If we can't establish the Soul Devouring Formation in the Alchemy Tower's domain, so be it. There are many other places in Zhongzhou where we can do it."
"You can tell that directly to the Hall Master. Let's see if he doesn't replace you with another Supreme."
"You...!"
The Fifth Supreme observed the dispute with a mocking look, without much sense of belonging to the Hall of Souls. He was only present out of obligation.
Seeing the growing tension, the Sixth Supreme coughed lightly, directing his gaze at the Fifth Supreme.
"Fifth Supreme, since you are presiding, why don't you share your thoughts? Watching them fight is quite boring, don't you think?"
Hearing the Sixth Supreme, the other Supremes also turned their attention to the Fifth Supreme, some with not very friendly looks, making the Fifth Supreme stop finding amusement in the situation.
"Ahem, establishing the Soul Devouring Formation is a task personally entrusted by the Hall Master. We cannot avoid it."
"But the attitude of the Alchemy Tower puts us in a difficult situation. If we must mobilize forces against them, we would have to send the high-ranking Supremes."
"Otherwise, those three elders of the Alchemy Tower will not be easy to face, and we must not forget the Alchemy Tower..."
Mentioning the Alchemy Tower, the Supremes advocating for a full-scale war showed hesitation.
In the Alchemy Tower, there were real monsters, even some at the saint level, and none of the present had the capacity to face a saint.
"So, what do you propose?"
"Let's gather our forces and confront the Alchemy Tower in a small skirmish. This way, when the Hall Master asks us, we can give an explanation."
The other Supremes exchanged ambiguous looks, but none refuted vehemently.
The Fifth Supreme, noticing this, smiled internally. Shortly after, the others nodded their heads.
The Sixth Supreme added, "And what about the Soul Devouring Formation?"
"We have already established at least ten formations in the Alchemy Tower's domain during our infiltrations. That should be enough."
The Fifth Supreme replied indifferently, "Do you want to establish a formation under the Holy City of Dan? Then you should take on the task yourself."
The Sixth Supreme, hearing the response with a hint of sarcasm, showed signs of anger. However, he did not dare to take on that task either. The Holy City of Dan, the heart of the Alchemy Tower, was so heavily defended that even a saint would have difficulty establishing a formation there.
The Fifth Supreme continued, "If we insist on a full-scale war and fail in other plans, it won't be easy to hide."
"Agreed, we will do as you propose." The Sixth Supreme dematerialized, returning to his original form.
The Fifth Supreme looked at the others, seeing that they also nodded. "Then we will do as I propose. Who wants to lead this small skirmish?"
The other Supremes, hearing this, looked at the empty spot of the Sixth Supreme. That old fox had left to avoid leading this "small skirmish." He seemed to disagree but was actually thinking about how to avoid responsibility.
The other Supremes regretted not leaving with him as well.
