Supreme Emperor of Swords

What these two elders meant was very clear. Although they didn’t vote for Ding Hao directly, it was obvious that they supported him.

In this way, the others had nothing to say.

Without any suspense, Ding Hao became the chief of the alliance.

During the whole process, Ding Hao did not say anything.

He did not reject becoming the chief of the Northern Region Martial Alliance. Only by controlling power could he protect everything he cared about. He could also make the humans of the Northern Region fight against Divine Grace forces as he wished. After all, he had been to the Land of Divine Grace, so he knew the power of that world better than most people present. At least, he would not make a wrong judgment.

“By the way, should we report this matter to the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost?” someone suddenly asked.

Everyone was stunned.

In the past, the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost was the supreme force in the Northern Region. It suppressed the Luck of the Human Clan and was dominant. It assigned many inspectors to various provinces to monitor the world. No matter what the human martial artists in the Northern Region did, they could not bypass this force.

However, in recent days, when the Divine Grace Demon mercenaries invaded, the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost unexpectedly stayed quiet completely. It removed all the inspectors in the provinces. It seemed to have hidden away and no longer managed the affairs of the Human Clan in the Northern Region, which made people subconsciously neglect it.

But one still had to admit that after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost still had a terrifying prestige.

Ding Hao thought for a moment and said, “I’ll personally negotiate with the Holy Palace about this matter.”

Everyone agreed.

In particular, some people knew that Ding Hao had a close relationship with the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost and was an arbiter of the Holy Palace. It would be best for him to deal with it.

After that, there was another dispute. They selected the four deputy chiefs of the Northern Region Martial Alliance, as well as various positions of various sizes. It had to be admitted that in the fight for fame and wealth, the intelligent races were incomparably consistent. They quarreled with each other from morning till noon. All parties had gained something. The interests were balanced and the places were distributed.

Ding Hao did not participate too much in this process.

In fact, except for Ding Hao, few other masters of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had become the real power figures of the Northern Region Martial Alliance. After all, Ding Hao’s position as the chief had already occupied a lot of power.

After the major events were settled, the morale of the Human Clan in the Northern Region rose sharply.

Ding Hao raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He then said with a smile, “There is no doubt that everyone’s efforts today are very important for the Northern Region to fight against the invasion of the Land of Divine Grace. In fact, the upcoming war is not only about the Northern Region, but also about the Western Desert, the Eastern Frontier, the Southern Wilderness, and the Divine Central Continent. If we don’t choose to fight back at this time, our descendants may always be bound by the shackles of slaves and losers in the following tens of thousands of years.”

Everyone’s expression also grew solemn.

Ding Hao continued, “Since you have recommended me as the chief, I appreciate your kindness. The whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will never flinch in the battle against the invaders of the Land of Divine Grace. But I must warn you beforehand. If someone doesn’t take today’s gathering seriously or disobeys my orders secretly in the future, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. If someone destroys the alliance’s major events or disobeys the order, his ending will be like that of the distant mountain.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Hao flicked his finger.

Swoosh!

A streak of Sword Intent and Sword Qi broke through the void and shot out. A lonely sharp peak thousands of meters away was instantly cut into two pieces at the waist. The cut was as smooth as a piece of tofu cut by a sharp knife, without any trace of smoke and fire.

Seeing this, the crowd was also frightened and hurriedly admitted that they didn’t dare to disobey his orders.

For so many years, many people had studied Ding Hao’s character very well. He always kept his word. If he said that he would be ruthless, then he would do as he said. Such harsh words made some people who had planned to fish in troubled waters stop thinking about it.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Ding Hao nodded slightly and said, “Of course, if someone or a sect can make a great contribution to our Northern Region Martial Alliance, they will also be greatly rewarded. We can’t let men in the Northern Region bleed for nothing.”

What he said made people feel warm in their hearts.

They knew that both the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and Ding Hao were wealthy. If he were to reward them, then the reward would not be petty.

“We respectfully obey the orders of the alliance chief.”

“If anyone doesn’t accept the alliance chief, I, Zhao Weiyang, will be the first to make things difficult for him.”

Several forces and experts who were trying to please Ding Hao echoed one after another.

Ding Hao nodded and then said, “I’ve received the message that the God’s Palace Army, the major troop of the Divine Grace Eastern Continent has gathered in the southern part of the Northern Region. It seems that they are going to attack the Blue Cloud Sect. The situation is not optimistic. Elder Song, you came from the Blue Cloud Sect and know the most about the situation. Tell us about it.”

The messenger from the Blue Cloud Sect, also known as Elder Song, got up and introduced the situation around the Blue Cloud Sect. He said, “The Valley Rain Chamber and hundreds of sects have been destroyed. The Southern Heavenly Army of God’s Palace is not weak. They have countless warships. If the Blue Cloud Sect fights alone, once the war starts, we will only have a 30% chance of winning.”

Everyone gasped when they heard that.

The Blue Cloud Sect was the most powerful force among the Human Clan’s martial arts sects in the Northern Region. It was the top among the super sects in the Northern Region, and it was regarded as an invincible force. However, in the face of an army of God’s Palace, it only had a 30% chance of winning, which was a little shocking.

Ding Hao also took the opportunity to briefly introduce the current situation of the Land of Divine Grace and the power of God’s Palace. He said, “I don’t want to boost their morale and reduce our courage, but you still need to get yourselves prepared. Don’t have blind faith in our power.”

After they finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Conference Hall was quite solemn and depressing.

This was the first time that everyone realized how powerful their enemies were.

“No matter what, we can’t let the Southern Heavenly Army conquer the Blue Cloud Sect,” Ding Hao said loudly, “I will personally take my men to the Blue Cloud Sect to support. We can win this battle, and we can’t lose.”

The Blue Cloud Sect was an important southern part of the Northern Region. Its geographical location was too important. It had dozens of provinces in the north and connected to the Divine Central Continent in the south. It was the southern gate of the Northern Region. Once it fell, it would definitely be a huge disaster for the Human Clan in the Northern Region. The Northern Region would become an isolated land that would be separated from the middle.

Elder Song of the Blue Cloud Sect nodded gratefully.

From what Ding Hao had said, he started from the big picture.

“Let’s discuss and decide on a plan,” Ding Hao said, “The four deputy chiefs are responsible for the integration of various regions, the selection of the elite forces, and the formation of reinforcements. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect can offer a thousand experts at the peak of the Saint Realm.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Conference Hall was filled with gasps of surprise.

“A thousand experts at the peak of the Saint Realm?

“Oh my god, when did the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect have so many great fighters?”

In the Northern Region, experts of the Saint Realm were not easy to have. Even a super sect like the Blue Cloud Sect might not have a thousand experts at the peak of the Saint Realm.

Ding Hao ignored everyone’s surprise and said, “The most important thing is a war. The God’s Palace Army is a real army and a killing machine that cannot be ignored, so we still need to mobilize a large number of tactical deployment masters, inscriptionists, elixir refiners, and rear-service personnel. You need to think of a way to make that happen. As for crystal resources and spiritual medicine resources, Swordsmanship-seeking Sect can offer one-tenth of them.”

When everyone heard this, they knew that it was impossible for them not to express their opinions.

“Divine Gate Sect is willing to offer ten tactical deployment masters at Saint Realm…”

“We have three Saint Realm elixir refiners in Purple Spirit Sect.”

“Closing Mountain Sect offers a million mid-grade mysterious crystals.”

“Rain-heeding Pavilion offers 1,000 Precious Weapons and 10,000 magical armors!”

“Although our Dragon Tiger Sect is a small sect, we are willing to spare no effort to transport all the war supplies. We will not slack off.” The Dragon Tiger Sect was the number one sect in Guo City, but in the eyes of all the forces participating in the gathering today, it was just a small sect. The head of the Dragon Tiger Sect spoke very sincerely.

“Haha, nice. Our Changfeng Escort Agency will do the same,” Gu Shaochu laughed forthrightly and said, “My armed escorts may not be as powerful as the masters of the major sects, but they are very familiar with the roads around the Blue Cloud Sect. They can serve as scouts and guides.”

Hua Huai’an also said generously, “I’m willing to donate all the assets of the Camel Caravan to help the Martial Alliance win.”

These years, the Camel Caravan had a great influence in the Northern Region and accumulated a lot of money. If all of its assets were donated, it would indeed be a considerable amount. Moreover, Hua Huai’an was so generous, which made many leaders and experts of big sects pay special attention to him.

“Thank you very much, big brothers.” Ding Hao knew that although they supported the Martial Alliance so desperately, in fact, they were doing it for his sake. He was also grateful in his heart.

With the leading ones, all the big and small sects showed their sincerity.

Soon, everything was settled.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect set up another banquet. After the experts from all sides were entertained, everyone dispersed and made preparations according to the previous plan.

…

It was nighttime.

The dark clouds covered the sky, and it was gloomy without any starlight.

The mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was brightly lit, and everyone was busy. Time was almost up, and the joy brought by the wedding had gradually dissipated while everyone was preparing for the upcoming expedition.

Standing under the peach tree on the Sword-hidden Peak, Ding Hao overlooked the entire Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

The petals fell on him.

In recent days, he kept having a very strange feeling in his heart that there must be something very important hidden in the Land of Infinity. Otherwise, it would not have made the overlords of God’s Palace, birdmen, and other forces of the Land of Divine Grace so crazy. According to the news from the Mountain Gate of Fortune, beastmen, the Sea Clan, the Feather Clan, and other super sovereign powers had also arrived.

The goals of the Feather Clan and the Sea Clan were both in the Divine Central Continent, and the arrival of the the Beast Clan was in the Western Desert.

It was said that the great army of the birdmen had descended on the Eastern Frontier.

The behemoths that had been enemies with the beastmen for generations also took action. According to the news from the Heaven Sound Pavilion, these kings of destruction seemed to have rushed to the Southern Wilderness.
