Chapter 931 - 16: Eyes of Arrogance

The old land, a secret meeting.

Hong Yun once again convened the Twelve Realm Saint Emperors participating in the plan.

This time, all the Saint Emperors arrived quickly.

Because they knew the time was almost right!

"Hundreds of years have passed, yet there’s no progress in cultivation, unfortunately."

"If it were easy to advance, we wouldn’t need to gather like this. What are hundreds of years without advancement? I’ve gone tens of thousands of years without progress, truly the old land holds little hope!"

"Indeed, it’s a place abandoned by the stars."

Calling the place they lived ’the old land,’ they harbored no good thoughts.

"Let’s not talk about that. Hong Yun’s summons must mean Xing Yuan’s side has news. According to the plan, Xing Yuan should be arriving at the Newborn Land soon."

"It shouldn’t be wrong. Hopefully, there will be good news."

One of the Saint Emperors directly looked at Hong Yun and asked, "Hong Yun, in summoning us, you must have received some news, right?"

Hong Yun shook his head calmly and said, "No, like you all, I simply estimate the time is about right and specifically gathered you to use means to contact Xing Yuan, to see if there’ve been unexpected changes."

This reasoning was sound.

After all, none of the Twelve Realm Saint Emperors present were not anxious.

Everyone nodded.

"Then let’s contact him. Surely Hong Yun, you have a way?"

"Naturally, but I still need to borrow your strength." Hong Yun did not deny, just stated his condition.

This condition was naturally one no one refused.

Quickly, under Hong Yun’s command, everyone pooled their strength together.

Hong Yun also used the means left by Xing Yuan, beginning to contact Xing Yuan through distant time and space.

As Xing Yuan approached the exit, he sensed someone trying to contact him.

He knew, after all, they were part of the plan.

Thinking for a moment, he began to respond.

"My friends, why contact me? I’m rushing at full speed."

Seeing Xing Yuan respond, the Saint Emperors present were relieved.

They had truly feared not receiving a response, as the losses would not be small.

Faced with Xing Yuan’s question, Hong Yun stepped forward and said, "After your last plea for help, we haven’t received a follow-up response. We feared the plan might have issues, so we specifically came to check on you."

Hearing this, Xing Yuan was indifferent at heart.

Were they really concerned about him?

Clearly, that was impossible.

These people were merely worried he would act alone, concerned about their own interests not being assured.

But since they put it that way, he didn’t expose them, instead answered, "Last incident resolved smoothly, the plan proceeds well. Not too much time was wasted. Now, I’m near the entrance to the Newborn Land. I estimate just a few years to truly enter."

Xing Yuan’s words shook the Saint Emperors inside.

Arrived?

Their goal strived for countless years seemed within reach!

There, perhaps lies hope for breaking through to the Thirteen Realms.

At this time, they could no longer contain themselves.

"Xing Yuan, remember our agreement, after arrival, open the cross-world passage."

"Xing Yuan, you promised, don’t go back on your word."

Hearing this, Xing Yuan couldn’t help but smile mysteriously, "Of course, upon arrival, I’ll find a way to open the passage."

Promises naturally need fulfilling.

Yet before that, he would strive to seize some advantage.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth the enormous risk he took coming to the Newborn Land early.

Not using an opportunity would be foolish!

Though uncertain of Xing Yuan’s sincerity, the Saint Emperors felt reassured hearing his promise, no longer asking one after another.

At this moment, Hong Yun timely spoke, "If you need anything from us, feel free to contact, we will do our utmost to assist you."

Xing Yuan nodded.

This, he didn’t deny, having been saved by these cooperating Saint Emperors previously.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know his fate.

Having confirmed Xing Yuan’s safety, soon reaching the Newborn Land, in considerable expenditure, the contact quickly ended.

However, after disconnecting, the Saint Emperors present found it difficult to calm down easily.

"Countless years of investment, finally reaching the time to reap the rewards?"

"Hopefully, we can truly find the hope for breaking through higher levels, otherwise, reaching the strength of the five major forces’ leaders would suffice. Thus, our position would greatly elevate, and lifespan increase."

"The leaders of the five major forces... reaching that realm would be quite something, at least making any plans, we wouldn’t fear even cooperation."

"Indeed, if the five major forces were involved this time, we might not even get a taste."

"Hope according to plan, there won’t be much disturbance opening the passage; otherwise, we’ll need to seize the initiative..."

The group talked while departing, only Hong Yun, after revealing a mysterious smile, left swiftly.

Exiting the contact space, Hong Yun arrived quietly at the core of Shattered Star Sacred Land, among the five major forces of the old land.

He came here to meet Yuanhua, the first generation Holy Master of Shattered Star Sacred Land.

The most elite of the Twelve Realm Saint Emperors.

Also the ultimate mastermind behind the invasion of the Newborn Land.

"Holy Master, the plan proceeds smoothly, those participating still hold little suspicion, even contemplating how to break through in power later..."
