Chapter 351: The Overlord of the Northwest
Atop Heavenly Snake Peak, silence had enveloped the arena. The Thunder Sect's master, though somewhat eccentric, was undoubtedly powerful. Possessing the strength of a Five Star Dou Zun, only Lion Sect's master, Lion Tian, could securely surpass him at the summit. Yet such a formidable opponent was no match for Xiao Ze, unable to withstand even a single strike.
As the sky's lightning slowly faded, Xiao Ze appeared, calm and collected, with not even a wrinkle in his clothing. The Thunder Sect's master Lei Qiao had indeed shown remarkable prowess and a unique mastery over lightning. Had Xiao Ze not intervened, she might have even posed a challenge to Lion Tian.
Facing the crowd's gazes, Xiao Ze smiled as he looked towards Lion Tian. Xiao Ze was the center of attention; every move he made was closely watched. Everyone present felt relieved they hadn't sided against him with Lion Tian; otherwise, they'd likely have been doomed by now. Schadenfreude arose, as they relished in Lion Tian's predicament, given his history of self-serving acts underpinned by his formidable strength.
Feeling Xiao Ze's gaze, Lion Tian's complexion paled slightly. Xiao Ze's power had exceeded his expectations, putting him in a difficult position. He knew that if Xiao Ze could defeat Lei Qiao in one hit, dealing with him would be equally effortless.
"Lion Sect Master, you had the most objections against the Sky Alliance. Aren't you going to step up and fight? Or can you swallow your pride?" Lion Tian's face twitched slightly. Even if he couldn't stomach it, could he instantly elevate himself to a Seven Star Dou Zun?
"Haha, Alliance Master Xiao, you jest. I was merely considering the best interests of the Northwest Continent previously. I didn't want our Sect Conference to simply benefit Central Province," Lion Tian said, forcing a smile in the face of either overt or subtle ridicule from the crowd.
"Now that Alliance Master Xiao has demonstrated his strength, I, Lion Tian, naturally have no objections. On behalf of the Lion Ming Sect, I acknowledge the Sky Alliance as the overlord of the Northwest Continent."
His declaration elicited a wave of disdain from the crowd. Having previously targeted the Sky Alliance so vehemently, Lion Tian was now singing high praises to avoid Xiao Ze's wrath—a clear testament to his desperation.
However, no one had the leisure to mock Lion Tian. The one who had opposed the Sky Alliance the most was now the first to support its supremacy. If they didn't quickly follow suit, and Xiao Ze suspected they harbored oppositional intentions, they too might face calamity.
"Indeed, the Sky Alliance possesses the strength to be the overlord of the Northwest, a title truly deserved. My Poison Sect has no objections."
"Surely, with the Sky Alliance's leadership, the Northwest Continent can leap to become a top force on the entire continent!"
"All thanks to Alliance Master Xiao. For someone so young to achieve such heights, he truly possesses peerless talent!"
As Lion Tian flattered, Xiao Ze had yet to respond when other Dou Zuns hurriedly voiced their agreement, acknowledging the Sky Alliance as the Northwest overlord.
Xiao Ze glanced at Lion Tian, whose recent show of power had indeed frightened him, even though Xiao Ze had already been restraining his force. Given that the Lion Ming Sect, a force colluding with the Soul Hall, was already on Xiao Ze's list for eradication, Lion Tian's cooperative stance, despite the loss of face in front of his peers, prevented Xiao Ze from openly causing him trouble.
"Haha, thanks for your kind words. Since you all recognize the Sky Alliance as the overlord of the Northwest, please cooperate with us accordingly!"
After pondering, Xiao Ze decided not to pursue issues with Lion Tian further. Considering Lion Tian's portrayal in the original story as arrogantly overconfident, despite his current submission, his genuine acceptance of the Sky Alliance's supremacy was unlikely.
" The Sky Alliance was initially established with a simple aim—to deal with the remnants of the Yunlan Sect and eradicate those practicing the evil soul-devouring body-snatching techniques."
"I hope you will issue orders to search for and destroy practitioners of these evil techniques."
"And ensure your forces do not dabble in these evil practices, or else don't blame me for being ruthless."
The other Dou Zuns were taken aback, not having realized the Yunlan Sect's remnants had spurred the Sky Alliance's formation. Had they known, they would have eradicated these remnants themselves, possibly preventing the Sky Alliance's establishment and avoiding having another nominal boss.
"Of course, the Yunlan Sect's remnants spread the soul-devouring body-snatching techniques far and wide, and they must be exterminated. I've long disdained them!"
"Rest assured, Alliance Master Xiao, we will strictly regulate our subordinates to avoid these evil techniques. If found, we will execute them on the spot, so as not to soil your hands."
Pleased with their promises, Xiao Ze showed a satisfied smile. He hadn't held much hope for the Sect Conference to coerce these forces into cooperation, but the current outcomes seemed promising.
"Thank you for your commitments. I am relieved and hope that such bloody and evil practices will cease to plague the Northwest."
As Xiao Ze thanked them, Lei Qiao, having recovered, flew up to him, her expression wry. "Thank you, Alliance Master Xiao, for showing mercy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here speaking. The Thunder Sect also pledges to follow the Sky Alliance as the Northwest overlord and cooperate with your actions!"
Her delicate voice was exceptionally firm, "The Thunder Sect has zero tolerance for those who practice the soul-devouring body-snatching techniques. Once identified, they will be immediately eliminated!"
"Thank you, Sect Master Lei."
With these forces now ostensibly cooperating, the eradication of the soul-devouring body-snatching techniques in the Northwest Continent seemed imminent.
Yet, the presence of Yunshan remained a concern. High-level practitioners could easily evade detection by retreating into deep mountains and forests, making them challenging to locate.
