A faint smile curved Feng Yuqin's lips. "Good day, Madam Sect Master."
Ou Ruoyun gave her an annoyed look. "What did you forget to call me again?"
Feng Yuqin readily corrected herself. "Good day, Aunt Yun."
Ou Ruoyun was satisfied. "That's right. Do you know why the Alliance Leader summoned us?"
Feng Yuqin scanned the others. Sure enough, they all looked completely in the dark.
"You'll know when the Alliance Leader arrives," Feng Yuqin said calmly.
Ou Ruoyun was a shrewd woman. She originally thought Feng Yuqin had no idea either. So she just asked casually. But hearing Feng Yuqin's answer, she knew that Feng Yuqin must be in the know. She had previously noticed that the Alliance Leader treated Feng Yuqin differently. Now it seemed that the Alliance Leader hadn't told the others, but Feng Yuqin definitely knew.
"Aqin, tell me. Do you know something?" Ou Ruoyun pulled Feng Yuqin to a secluded corner and sat down, whispering.
Seeing her curiosity, Feng Yuqin could only sigh. "It won't be good news, anyway."
Seeing that she wouldn't say more, Ou Ruoyun wisely didn't press further.
The Alliance Leader of the All - under - Heaven Alliance didn't keep everyone waiting long before he appeared. Due to the urgency, he got straight to the point and told them what had happened in the Xuanyu Realm, including what the forces led by the Starfall Hall were going to do next.
However, not everyone would believe just because the Alliance Leader said so. Immediately, someone raised a doubt. "Alliance Leader, the poison incident has been resolved. Without the poison, are we still afraid of them?"
An elder from another force nodded. "Right. I don't think the Starfall Hall has any tricks up their sleeves. Even the people from the Divine Realm wouldn't dare to act rashly against us in the Xuanyu Realm."
"But the Alliance Leader just said they've obtained pills from the Divine Realm to boost their strength. If those powered - up people attack us, we might have a hard time dealing with them," an elder from the Sky Secret Sect said.
Feng Yuqin glanced at the elder. This elder was clearly different from the fools in the other forces.
"Even if they've enhanced their strength, our sect is no slouch," the vice - master of another sect thought the Alliance Leader was making a mountain out of a molehill by summoning them for this.
In general, after the Alliance Leader told them what the Starfall Hall and other forces were planning, some of these forces didn't believe it. They thought their sects or families were strong enough to handle any situation.
The Alliance Leader felt frustrated with their shortsightedness. He looked helplessly at Feng Yuqin, silently asking for her opinion.
Feng Yuqin gently shook her head, signaling the Alliance Leader not to waste any more breath on these stubborn people.
"I won't try to persuade those who won't listen. Please do as you like," the Alliance Leader thought he had done his part in informing these forces. If they were unwilling, he couldn't force them. After all, he was the leader of the All - under - Heaven Alliance, not the master of their sects. He couldn't make decisions for them.
These people already thought it was a waste of time to listen to the Alliance Leader. Hearing his words, the forces that didn't take it seriously left.
Those who remained strongly supported the Alliance Leader.
"Master, aren't you going to erase their memories?" Xiao Ying asked curiously. "If the plan here leaks out, it'll be bad for us."
Feng Yuqin lifted her eyelids. "Who said I won't?"
"But I didn't see you do anything just now," Xiao Ying said in surprise.
"I didn't use the poison from the space. Instead, I purified a part of the power from the Green Needles," Feng Yuqin's words shocked Xiao Ying.
"Has Master's Green Power upgraded again?"
"Yes. It's been upgrading. It upgrades faster when I'm improving my strength, and it upgrades slowly on its own at other times. So when I use the power from the Green Needles, it's hard for ordinary people to detect," Feng Yuqin was quite satisfied with this Green Power skill.
With a mere thought, she could condense the Green Needles. Every time the Green Needles took shape, she could feel the endless power within. As the Green Needles became stronger, she found that she could poison people much stronger than her without them noticing. This time, she also discovered the function of tampering with memories. So those people wouldn't pose any risk of leaking the information because not only had their memories been erased, but they had also been implanted with other memories. At most, they would remember that the Alliance Leader had summoned them to discuss something, but they would never know it was related to the Starfall Hall and other forces.
"Alliance Leader, tell us what you need us to do. We're willing to cooperate," Ou Ruoyun now realized that Feng Yuqin must be involved in this. If she didn't trust others, she definitely trusted Feng Yuqin. Since Feng Yuqin was involved and in agreement, there must be something more serious going on. Moreover, the Starfall Hall had always been arrogant. Now they were even more so. If they weren't stopped, the days of these forces would be tough in the future.
With Ou Ruoyun taking the lead, other forces also began to express their support.
"Alliance Leader, I've also received some information. The Starfall Hall and other forces want to annex those they're at odds with. So I support what you said before. We can't just sit back and wait for them to attack," an elder from the Cai Family said.
Feng Yuqin had always had a good impression of the Cai Family. It was good to see they were sensible at this moment.
"We're willing to follow the Alliance Leader's arrangement," the Han Family also expressed their support. However, Han Luosu wasn't here this time. It was one of his uncles.
One by one, the forces expressed their willingness to cooperate. Those who remained basically supported taking the initiative. Even if they didn't take the offensive, it was still a good idea to be well - prepared.
In the end, only the people from the Nether Palace were left. Among the four major forces, the Nine - level Tower and the Violet Light Pavilion were strong enough to deal with the combined forces of the Starfall Hall and others. So they didn't attend because the Alliance Leader didn't summon them. But the Nether Palace was only slightly stronger than the Starfall Hall, so they also needed to prepare for the battle.
"Our Nether Palace will also cooperate," an elder from the Nether Palace said.
