When they arrived, they found that the True Soul Realm Experts of the True Spirit Sect, Thunder Sect, and Assassins Association were all here.
It seemed like their assumption was correct and they were planning on making a move against them.
So it was a good thing that they had brought their own True Soul Realm Experts.
It was 3 against 9, it was impossible that the other side would be able to do anything. But they should have expected this after they had sent their invitations, so what did they have up their sleeves?
Were they expecting them to doubt each other and pick factions off to bring over to their own side?
If they were, then it would be futile.
Perhaps they would have doubted each other if they hadn't talked to each other before, but these nine factions had something that connected them. They were all brought to the same side because of Lin Fan and it would be hard for them to convince them to betray this side.
As they wondered what the True Spirit Sect, Thunder Sect, and the Assassins Association were up to, they were surprised to find that it wasn't them that had just been invited.
There were also minor factions that had also been invited to this event.
But the only minor factions that had been invited were those with Nascent Soul Realm Experts.
There wasn't a single faction that only had Child Soul Realm Experts invited.
They had even somehow been able to invite two of the hidden True Soul Realm Experts to attend this meeting.
As their name implied, they were people who didn't care about wealth or fame, so they sealed themselves off without caring about the other world. But they were still True Soul Realm Experts that were on the same level as the leaders of the twelve great factions, so they couldn't be looked down on.
If they were to side with the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association, the situation would definitely be worse off for the other nine of the twelve great factions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter everyone had been gathered, the True Soul Realm Experts from the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association didn't take the lead to start this meeting. They just sat there on the side, sitting there with calm looks on their faces.
They didn't even take the time to talk to anyone else that came, they just sat there in silence.
Everyone who saw this couldn't help knitting their brows.
How could they still be this calm even after everything that had happened?
As they saw this, everyone couldn't help feeling a bit unsettled by this as they couldn't predict what was going to happen.
Since they weren't going to make a move, the other nine of the twelve great factions would.
They approached the True Soul Realm Experts from the hidden factions to see if they could get any information from them. They found that these True Soul Realm Experts also had no idea what was happening.
They had received an invitation from the three great factions and had been surprised by this.
While they were able to find out what was happening outside with the information network that they had set up, they didn't know about the relationship between the twelve great factions. So they were surprised to find that three of the twelve great factions were inviting them at the same time, which was why they had even come in the first place.
Now they were even more shocked to see that the other True Soul Realm Experts of the remaining nine twelve great factions had also come to this meeting.
Inwardly, they gave a sigh of relief that they had chosen to come.
If they hadn't, perhaps they wouldn't have even known what had happened when they were destroyed by the turbulence that was clearly filling this Galactic Humanity Alliance.
But of course, the True Soul Realm Experts of the hidden faction didn't respond to the requests of the True Soul Realm Experts of the nine great factions.
They didn't know what the hosts of this event had planned, so before that, they naturally wouldn't commit themselves to a single side.
After all, they didn't think that the True Soul Realm Experts of the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association were fools. No matter how they looked at it, unless they had outside help, it was impossible for them to face these nine True Soul Realm Experts.
The tension continued to build even though no more people arrived at the venue.
Looking around, they could tell that everyone who should be here was already here and there was no one else that should be coming.
So why didn't the hosts start whatever they were planning on starting?
This question was then answered by the arrival of two people.
It was a blue haired man and a red haired man.
They walked right through the crowd without a care for anyone else, but those that recognized them immediately moved out of the way to let them get to the stage.
Anyone with any kind of information network would know who these two people were. After all, they had already made a big splash at the True Spirit Sect in front of plenty of people, it was impossible for them to not recognize them at this point.
But the main reason they showed them this respect was that no matter how they investigated these two people, they weren't able to find any information about them at all.
So they didn't know what background these two had and that made them even harder to deal with.
After they arrived on the stage that had been prepared, Bing Jun and Huo Fei stood at the center overlooking everyone without saying a thing.
Huo Fei was just looking over them casually, but Bing Jun seemed like he was searching for someone.
When his eyes fell onto Lin Fan, they suddenly lit up, but then seeing that Lin Xue wasn't here with him, they fell dim again.
However, he didn't let his emotions get the best of him.
With a small breath, Bing Jun raised his voice and said, "I'm sure that all of you are probably wondering why we gathered you all here today."
Everyone revealed a shocked look when they heard this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt wasn't what he said, but rather the way that he said it.
His tone was as if he had commanded them all to come, rather than inviting them as equals. It was almost as if he was already treating them as his subordinates.
When they heard this, quite a few people were unhappy about this because they could tell that Bing Jun was much younger than them. This young man was actually treating veteran experts like them like subordinates…
Every single True Soul Realm Expert here was a genius among geniuses in their own generation, so they couldn't let this young man look down on them.
But Bing Jun ignored the dissatisfied looks that were directed at him and continued, "We have a very enticing proposition for all of you that I'm sure that none of you will reject."
Huo Fei nodded before saying, "Of course, there will be great benefits for those of you that join sooner than later."
There was a hint of a threat in his voice which made everyone knit their brows even more…However, not a single person said anything as they waited for these two young men to explain themselves.
Bing Jun took out a token with an icicle on it that he lifted and said, "This is a token representing the Bing Family from the Tai Stellar Kingdom, one of the Four Great Families of the Tai Stellar Kingdom."
Huo Fei on the side also took out a token with a flame on it which he also lifted as he said, "This is the token representing the Huo Family from the Tai Stellar Kingdom, one of the Four Great Families of the Tai Stellar Kingdom."
The dissatisfied looks that everyone had were instantly replaced with looks of shock. At the same time, the True Soul Realm Experts from the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association all revealed proud looks.
They had suffered quite a few criticisms over the past few days over the fact that they had submitted to someone as young as Bing Jun, but now that Bing Jun and Huo Fei's identity had been revealed, they were certain that everyone would praise them for their wise choices.
After all, these two were from major factions of a Stellar Kingdom!
A Stellar Kingdom, this was not something that an upper realm like them could resist. After all, Stellar Kingdoms were made up of World Realm Experts, experts that were in the realm above the Soul Realm!
Even the weakest experts of the Stellar Kingdom could crush a lowly upper realm like theirs.
But of course, it wasn't as if experts of the Stellar Kingdom would move against upper realms since that would just leave them open to attack from other Stellar Kingdoms.
Most Stellar Kingdoms would use more subtle methods in subduing upper realms, just like what was happening now.
As soon as Bing Jun and Huo Fei revealed their identities, everyone suddenly understood what was happening here.
These young masters from the Tai Stellar Kingdom were here on behalf of their factions to subdue this upper realm, to make them an upper realm that was attached to the Tai Stellar Kingdom like a vassal.
After that moment of shock, all of the experts present revealed ugly expressions.
