Chapter 1398: Chapter 1398: Mother of Deep Red
The one who spoke was naturally the Sky Horse Sect Leader. His voice was cold and solemn, his gaze ablaze as he stared at the dark crimson figure. Behind him, a pure white radiance unfolded, exuding waves of natural laws and seemingly connecting heaven and earth. Stranger yet, the entire grand conference hall, even the surrounding space, appeared to be linked to him at this moment. The only exception was the woman he called the Mother of Deep Redâshe remained isolated, an outsider.
âItâs been a long time, Little Li,â the Mother of Deep Red chuckled softly. âBack then, when I saw you, you were trailing behind the Sky Dragon, looking weak and frail. I never thought youâd rise to decide great matters now. As your friendly neighbor, isnât it quite the oversight for your Dragon Horse Star System to undertake such significant events without inviting me to witness or even take part? Truth be told, Iâve always hoped to become part of the Dragon Horse Federation.â
The Sky Horse Sect Leaderâs face darkened as he replied grimly, âMother of Deep Red, today is a momentous occasion for our Dragon Horse Star System. Are you certain you wish to cause trouble at such a time? If thatâs the case, starting from now, youâll be the enemy of our entire galaxy.â
The Mother of Deep Red covered her mouth and laughed lightly. âYou speak as if you actually have the authority to represent the entire galaxy. If thatâs so, then tell meâhow did I come to know of the news? Apparently, not everyone is under your control. Wouldnât you all agree?â As she spoke, her gaze swept over the faces of the representatives from various races in attendance.
The Sky Horse Sect Leaderâs figure slowly floated upward. Gigantic, pristine wings unfurled behind him, and his body seemed to turn nearly transparent in that instant, with an overwhelming aura brewing within him like a storm.
The Mother of Deep Red remained utterly calm, with no detectable aura emanating from her. She even looked at him with a hint of disdain.
âYour boldness has certainly grown since the old days. Yet, do you truly believe you alone can stop me? Understand, I am not here to disrupt thingsâmerely to discuss a few matters while the timing is right. If you agree to my terms, I wouldnât mind joining the Dragon Horse Federation and becoming one of you. Why not? It would only make our federation stronger, wouldnât you agree?â
The Sky Horse Sect Leader floated slowly to her side, speaking in a stern tone, âThis is merely a projection of yours. Do you honestly think you can prevent the founding of our federation? Regardless of who informed you of this event, you were not invited. Leave immediately, or you will become the enemy of our entire galaxy.â
Interrupted at such a critical moment, the Sky Horse Sect Leader was truly enraged.
The Mother of Deep Red smiled faintly and said, âHow do you know my true form isnât already here? Do you think anything you do could truly hinder me? Impossible. Iâve been lonely for far too long. Ever since the heartbreak of ten thousand years ago, Iâve mostly been asleep. But coming here today has brought me a few surprises, indeed.â
The Sky Horse Sect Leader narrowed his eyes slightly. âI will only ask this once: leave, or not?â
The Mother of Deep Red stared him down without hesitation. âAnd what if I donât leave?â
The Sky Horse Sect Leaderâs eyes instantly glowed, transforming into brilliant gold in a split secondâa telltale sign of his Sky Horse Battle Qi gathering.
At this moment, he could not afford to show weakness, especially with so many Super God-level powerhouses present.
Lan Xuanyu held Bai Xiuxiu close, deliberately avoiding looking at either of the two figures in the air. Their cultivation levels were simply too overwhelming; gazing too much could lead to unforeseen consequences.
As tensions rose to a near breaking point, it was puzzling to see that none of the Dragon Horse Star Systemâs Super God-level powerhouses showed any intention of intervening.
This realization sent both shockwaves and dread through Lan Xuanyu. It became clear that the Mother of Deep Red must be a renowned figure in the Dragon Horse Star System, possessing extraordinary power that even the Sky Horse Sect Leader had to fear.
Just then, a serene voice broke through the tension. âBrother Sky Horse, she is a guest from afar. Letâs hear her out and talk with the Mother of Deep Red.â
When this voice resounded, the oppressive atmosphere in the grand conference hall significantly shifted, as if everything had melted away. Even the suffocating pressure dissipated in that instant.
The sound was unmistakably familiar to Lan Xuanyuâa voice that had once etched deep impressions, or perhaps shadows, into his memory.
He was here? He had arrived!
Lan Xuanyu exhaled in relief, yet an unusual emotion rose within him: frustration. Frustration at his own insignificance. Compared to these top leaders, he was merely a drop in the ocean, utterly powerless.
The Mother of Deep Red was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice but quickly curved her lips into a smile. âLong time no see, Sky Dragon!â
A figure appeared as if taking a leisurely stroll from the void, silently emerging beside the Sky Horse Sect Leader. With a gentle smile, he nodded toward the Mother of Deep Red. âIt has been ages, and yet the Mother of Deep Red looks as radiant as ever. I, however, have grown old. Surely, the Sacred Mother has maintained herself better.â
The Mother of Deep Red responded calmly, âYou flatter me. Iâve long since entered the twilight of lifeâotherwise, I wouldnât have come here specially.â
Sky Dragon said, âThis isnât the place for such discussions. If the Sacred Mother has ideas to share, why donât the three of us talk privately?â
âThat would be fine.â The appearance of the Sky Dragon Leader visibly cooled the Mother of Deep Redâs earlier aggressiveness, and she agreed readily.
The gaze of the Sky Horse Sect Leader had also returned to tranquility. In a flash of light, the three mighty figures vanished from mid-air.
Their departure immediately altered the atmosphere of the hall as the various representatives began whispering amongst themselves.
Why had the Mother of Deep Red appeared? Who had informed her? And what could her purpose here be?
The Eight-Armed Demon God Kingâs icy glare swept over the assembly, pausing on several patriarchs seated around the central round table. He spoke coldly, âIf I find out who summoned this woman, I will tear them apart and destroy their divine consciousness.â
The Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang sat back down without a hint of emotion, as though nothing had happened.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had also eased up somewhat. Clearly, the Sky Dragon Leader had anticipated potential disturbances and arrived early on Sky Horse Star to prepare for contingencies. Yet, trouble had indeed come their way. Fortunately, with the two leaders present, they had stopped the Mother of Deep Red in her tracks.
However, without the two leaders present, the voting process stalled. The representatives could only wait for a resolution to emerge from the private discussions.
Lan Xuanyu found himself deeply curious about the origins of the Mother of Deep Red. For her to command such fear from the two leaders, how formidable must her power truly be? It wasnât merely about her influenceâher individual strength, too, had to be unparalleled. Besides, she didnât seem to belong to the Dragon Horse Star System.
The universe is vast indeed, with endless mysteries. Without sufficient strength, one could never truly take part in its affairs.
This trip to the Sky Horse Star had yielded vast and critical information. Lan Xuanyu knew he must deliver it to the federation as soon as possible; otherwise, they would remain at a disadvantage.
What kind of being was the Mother of Deep Red, who dared to confront the two leaders directly? This meant her power was at least on par with the Sky Dragon Leaderâor possibly even greater. What a terrifying existence! But from where had she emerged?
Time ticked by during the wait, and everyone speculated on the outcome of the negotiation occurring behind closed doors.
