After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 273 The Great Law of Returning Heaven and Earth to Origin
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiongbatian, who was sitting on the golden throne, frowned.

Seeing this, the second deputy leader quickly explained:
"The Tianhe Blade Sect not only refused to join my Tianxia Alliance, but also condoned its disciples to kill members of the gangs under my alliance."

"The fifth brother couldn't stand by and watch this happen. He wanted to personally seek justice for the sect that had been insulted and killed. A few days ago, he led a group of experts from the alliance to the Tianhe Blade Sect in Qingzhou."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiong Batian nodded slightly and said:
"Then the River Blade Sect was stubborn and unwilling to join the World Alliance, and I never forced them."

"I never expected that this sect would now bully the weak and slaughter the sects that have joined our alliance. Fifth Brother did a good job in this matter. Our World Alliance must uphold justice, otherwise it will discourage the other sects that have joined the alliance."

Upon hearing this, all eleven vice leaders in the council hall, including the second vice leader, nodded in agreement.

"Fifth Brother is a martial arts genius that is rare in the entire martial arts world. At such a young age, he has already stood out among us. Moreover, he is a person who hates evil and is chivalrous and righteous, and is deeply admired by all the sects and factions in the alliance."

The second deputy leader spoke with a smile, following the lead of the general leader Yu Xiong Batian, and praised the fifth deputy leader highly.

While there is a slight exaggeration in this statement, it is mostly true.

It should be noted that the position of vice leader of the World Alliance is ranked according to strength. The stronger one's martial arts skills and the greater one's contributions to the alliance, the higher one's ranking.

The fact that he ranks so high as the fifth vice leader is enough to show that his martial arts talent and strength are extremely amazing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiongbatian, whose young face appeared to be only in his twenties or thirties, showed no emotion, and simply said:
"I watched the fifth brother grow up, and his martial arts talent is the best I have ever seen in my life."

As he spoke, Yu Xiongbatian, with his white hair and youthful face, suddenly sighed and said:
"But unfortunately, there are always people more capable than you, and mountains beyond mountains. You never know when or where a prodigy might suddenly appear, catching you off guard."

Upon hearing this, the second vice leader and the other vice leaders who were about to praise the fifth vice leader, Huo Linfei, all froze.

In the past, Yu Xiongbatian would have been happier than if someone had praised Huo Linfei, and his face would have been beaming with joy.

But what's going on today?
The second vice leader had just praised Huo Linfei, but Yu Xiong Batian didn't even give him a smile, and instead said something that was completely baffling.

The second deputy leader's eyes flickered. Could it be that the chief leader was tired of hearing it?

But Huo Linfei was personally trained by Yu Xiongbatian, who cared for him even more than his own son. After all these years, he has never gotten tired of him.
Thinking it over, the second deputy leader suppressed the smile on his face, pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and said:

"Alliance Leader, since Fifth Brother is not here, we don't need to wait for him. I wonder if there is something important you need to tell us in such an urgent manner?"

Upon hearing this, the other vice leaders also temporarily snapped out of their confusion and looked at Yu Xiong Batian.

The world of martial arts in the Great Li Kingdom is now relatively peaceful, and the four major sects hold extremely secure positions. Such an emergency summons has not been issued in the World Alliance for many years.

Everyone was very curious at this moment, wondering why Yu Xiongbatian would suddenly issue such a summons.

At this moment, facing the question from the second vice leader, Yu Xiong Batian shook his head, then waved to the side and said:
"Wenshan, read the message sent back from the Yuanzhou branch alliance to them."

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged scholar who had been waiting on one side of the council hall immediately stepped forward.

He bowed to Yu Xiong Batian and the other vice leaders, and then without hesitation, took out a letter from his sleeve and began to read it aloud in a deep voice.

The middle-aged scholar's refined and gentle voice echoed in the magnificent council hall. The letter was not long, but it struck the ears of the vice leaders like a thunderclap, leaving them all stunned.

"Luoshen Peak has been destroyed?"

"Was it the Great Li Tianjin Guard who made the move?"

"A prince who only recently emerged possesses such terrifying strength?"

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence following the middle-aged scholar's words, all eleven vice leaders of the World Alliance were greatly surprised.

For a moment, the voices of the crowd rose and fell, echoing throughout the council hall.

The second deputy leader's expression shifted, and then he glanced discreetly at Yu Xiong Batian, who was sitting in the head seat.

At this moment, besides being extremely alarmed by the news sent back by the Enshu branch alliance, he also finally understood why the other party had stopped smiling after hearing his praise of Huo Linfei.

Yu Xiongbatian clearly didn't not want to laugh; he simply couldn't laugh.

Once this news comes out, wouldn't the Eighth Prince of Dali's martial arts talent be far superior to Huo Linfei's?

What is the so-called martial arts genius of the World Alliance, who is said to be one in a hundred years? He is nothing but a laughing stock!
If Yu Xiongbatian laughs again, then he himself will be the one being laughed at next.

Thinking of this, the second vice leader suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. To be honest, he was undoubtedly the second best expert in the World Alliance.

He usually praised Huo Linfei against his conscience, and he had long harbored resentment about it.

Sometimes, she would even grumble in private.

Why should a second vice-leader applaud a fifth vice-leader at the alliance conference?

……

However, the second deputy leader ultimately suppressed the surging emotions within him, trying to hide his joy and instead appearing worried.

It should be noted that Yu Xiongbatian's martial arts are divine, making him the pillar of the World Alliance.

Although he ranked second, his actual martial arts strength was simply no match for the opponent's terrifying martial arts cultivation.

Therefore, he naturally dared not cause Yu Xiong Ba Tian any displeasure.

Of course, in fact, the second deputy leader was indeed worried about the destruction of Luoshen Peak.

As for the reason, it's actually the same as that of the Taiyin Yuan Sect and the Dayan Sword Sect.

Once Luoshen Peak is destroyed, the Great Li Dynasty's sword will inevitably be aimed at the three major sects of the martial arts world!

"Alliance Leader, you have summoned us here surely to discuss how to deal with the Great Li Dynasty and that Eighth Prince, right?"

At this moment, the second deputy leader put on a solemn expression and asked.

For a moment, all the other vice-leaders in the council hall fell silent. Hearing this, Yu Xiong Batian nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said:

"After receiving the message from the Enshu branch alliance, I have given it much thought and have already come up with a solution."

As he spoke, his sharp, restrained eyes swept over the assembled vice leaders, and he said:
"The reason I have summoned you here so urgently is not to seek your advice, but to announce my important decision regarding the Alliance of the World."

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across the faces of all eleven vice leaders.

Yu Xiongbatian's words clearly indicated that he was treating them as mere tools.

Even so, the eleven vice leaders couldn't do anything about it.

Yu Xiongba's martial arts strength is too terrifying, and he has a great reputation in the World Alliance. He is always the one who has the final say.

These vice-leaders have always only obeyed the other party's orders, and dared not disobey them at all.

At this moment, Yu Xiongbatian, who sat upright on the golden throne, disregarded the thoughts of the other vice alliance leaders and simply frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Emperor Yuanwu's swift and decisive attack on Luoshen Peak was completely unexpected."

"But what I still find hard to believe is that the Great Li actually produced a young prince with such amazing martial arts skills, who destroyed the entire Fallen God Peak in just one night."

As he spoke, Yu Xiong Batian's gaze sharpened, and a solemn expression flashed across his remarkably young face. He said:
"To say something that might frighten you, even if I were to go all out against this kid, the outcome would probably be at most fifty-fifty."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all eleven vice leaders, including the second vice leader, immediately changed.

Many of them had seen Yu Xiong Batian make a move; the "Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Great Art" he cultivated was one of the top martial arts techniques in the entire Dali Jianghu.

In the hearts of the vice leaders, if the top martial arts masters of the Great Li Jianghu were to be ranked, then Yu Xiong Batian's martial arts strength would undoubtedly be ranked number one.

Those leaders of Luoshen Peak and the likes of Taiyin Xuanzhu, or Mu Tianxing of Yuming Mountain, who is known as the "Martial Saint" in the martial arts world, are all incomparable to Yu Xiong Batian in the eyes of the eleven vice leaders.

This is actually why Yu Xiongbatian can be the only one who can make decisions in the World Alliance, and why everyone in the alliance has to follow his lead.

After all, the entire World Alliance is a Jianghu force that truly respects strength!

Just then, the twelfth vice leader, sitting on the last golden seat, after his expression shifted uncertainly for a moment, stood up and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting to Yu Xiong Batian:
"Alliance Leader, you are too modest. Even if the Eighth Prince of Dali has amazing talent in martial arts, he is at most just a child."

"Even if one of you defeats the leader of Fallen God Peak and the four Venerables, the people of Fallen God Peak are too weak. How could they possibly be a match for the accumulated foundation of your Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Art over decades?"

Upon hearing this, all the vice leaders in the council hall nodded subconsciously.

They were naturally familiar with the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Skill, and had even once wholeheartedly wanted to become Yu Xiong Batian's disciples and cultivate such an unparalleled divine skill.

However, this divine skill is extremely difficult to cultivate, and Yu Xiong Batian doesn't even look down on them, so they have never been able to achieve their goal.

However, they were extremely clear about the terrifying power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Art.

The most distinctive feature of this divine skill is that it can accumulate continuously and without end.

The true energy of heaven and earth returns to oneself, is stored within oneself, gathers and unites into one, is endless, indestructible and indispersible.

As the cultivation time increases, the power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Art will continue to grow. More importantly, this divine art is not restricted by martial arts realms at all.

Once you reach the realm of the celestial being and continuously cultivate this divine skill, even if your martial arts cultivation level doesn't improve, as long as you reach a certain age and accumulate enough experience, you can still stand among the top masters in the martial arts world with this divine skill.

Furthermore, given the characteristics of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Art, if there were an immortal person in this world who cultivated this divine art, it would only take a hundred years or so for them to accumulate unimaginable power and become the number one in the world.

Yu Xiongbatian has been cultivating the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Divine Art for at least sixty years, and his accumulated strength has naturally reached an extremely profound level. Moreover, his progress in martial arts has never lagged behind in the slightest, and he is in no way inferior to Taiyin Xuanzhu and others.

If Yu Xiong Batian isn't the number one martial arts master in Dali, then who is?
However, faced with the twelfth vice leader's heartfelt words, Yu Xiong Batian remained completely unmoved, simply waving his hand and saying:

“You are unaware of the true strength of the Luoshen Peak Sect Leader and the Four Venerables, which is not your fault. There is no need for you to compete between me and that Eighth Prince now.”

"The reason I spoke that way just now was to make you understand the strength of that prince, so that you would not be blindly arrogant and take the current Dali Dynasty lightly."

As he spoke, Yu Xiong Batian slightly turned his head to look at the middle-aged scholar beside him and said:

"Wenshan, tell them the decision I have made. Let's end the meeting here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiong Batian's figure vanished from the golden dragon-headed chair, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the ears of the vice alliance leaders:

"There are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people. I will begin my seclusion from today onwards. You should also cultivate diligently, otherwise the World Alliance may follow in the footsteps of Fallen God Peak."

Upon hearing this, all eleven vice leaders in the council hall were somewhat stunned.

They truly hadn't expected that the eighth prince of Dali would cause Yu Xiongbatian such a great sense of crisis, to the point that he had to go into seclusion.

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar glanced around at the crowd, seemingly unconcerned about their thoughts, and then slowly spoke:

"By order of the Grand Alliance Leader, there are two things that all of you Vice Alliance Leaders need to do from today onwards."

"The first thing is for the Second Vice Alliance Leader to personally lead a group to the territory of Da Wu immediately to deliver the letter in handwritten by the Grand Alliance Leader to the 'World Alliance', preside over the discussion on the merger of the Da Li World Alliance into the Da Wu World Alliance, and keep the alliance informed of the latest developments."

At this point, the middle-aged scholar paused.

At this moment, the vice leaders in the council hall, after hearing the first thing Yu Xiong Batian had told them, immediately snapped out of their daze and were all greatly shocked.

"The World Alliance to merge into the World Society? On what grounds?"

The second deputy leader frowned, his face looking rather grim, and questioned the middle-aged scholar in a deep voice.

The other deputy leaders around him immediately spoke up, all questioning the middle-aged scholar's words.

However, the refined-looking middle-aged scholar remained calm and slowly said:

"This matter was decided by the Grand Alliance Leader. If any of you have any objections, you may question the Grand Alliance Leader."
