Chapter 1484: A Sense of Foreboding, Disaster Looms (Part 1) Chapter 1484: A Sense of Foreboding, Disaster Looms (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations “The Rogue Alliance.
What about them?” The sudden suggestion in the grand hall sent a shiver through everyone present.
The atmosphere grew heavier as sharp gazes filled with cold light swept across the room.
The Rogue Alliance.
These four words had become almost taboo since the incident involving Jiang Chengxuan and the Starwhirl Immortal Sect.
Jiang Chengxuan's feat of subduing three Earth ImmortalsaEUR”Starfall, Star Desolation, and StarfiendaEUR”alone had left an indelible mark on the minds of everyone present.
The twelve Earth Immortals in the hall, despite their illustrious records and triumphs, knew none could guarantee victory against someone of Jiang Chengxuan's caliber.
“HmmaEUR ” The hall fell into a tense silence as the Earth Immortals mulled over the implications.
If they intended to act against the Western Continent, they could not avoid clashing with the Rogue Alliance.
Yet to do so directly could provoke a disaster far greater than the anomalies plaguing their sacred grounds.
After a long pause, Star Desolation Immortal, his voice firm and aged, broke the silence.
“I agree.
We cannot avoid the Rogue Alliance in this conflict.
Rather than waiting for an inevitable battle, we should strike decisively and eliminate this obstacle at the outset.” His declaration drew mixed reactions.
The other Earth Immortals exchanged wary glances, suspecting his motives.
Many believed Star Desolation sought revenge for his previous humiliation at Jiang Chengxuan's hands and wanted to drag everyone into his vendetta.
But his words held undeniable logic.
The Rogue Alliance was the dominant power in the Western Continent, deeply intertwined with many sects.
Whether or not they wished to, a confrontation with the Rogue Alliance was inevitable.
It might indeed be better to seize the initiative and strike first.
“I agree as well,” said another elder.
“If we are to act, we must aim for a decisive blow.” “The Rogue Alliance has been growing in the shadows for too long.
It's time to test their strength,” added another, his voice tinged with disdain.
“With so many of us here, should we really hesitate?
We are Earth Immortals, not cowards,” a third chimed in with a cold smile.
The room gradually reached a consensus.
Most of the Earth Immortals nodded in agreement, their earlier hesitation replaced with grim resolve.
“Seven days from now, we gather our forces and strike the Rogue Alliance.
Does anyone object?” Ming Feng Immortal, standing at the center, declared with a sharp gaze sweeping across the room.
None spoke against the proposal.
The eleven other Earth Immortals rose in silence, their assent marked by their resolute expressions.
A chilling murderous intent filled the hall.
In that moment, a terrible agreement was forged, setting plans into motion at a terrifying pace.
Western Continent, Xuanming Immortal Realm The Rogue Alliance The Western Continent remained a stark contrast to the chaos engulfing the rest of the Xuanming Immortal Realm.
It was a haven of peace and stability, almost as though untouched by the calamity that had ravaged the other regions.
Sects across the continent thrived in an unprecedented era of order.
Even those with ambitions refrained from causing turmoil within the Western Continent, instead directing their efforts toward the chaotic regions of the Immortal Realm.
This tranquil state was due to the Rogue Alliance.
Under Jiang Chengxuan's leadership, the alliance had consolidated its dominance.
Even during his thousands of years in seclusion, the alliance maintained a low profile, avoiding any actions that might provoke unnecessary attention.
The Rogue Alliance's restraint set the tone for the entire continent.
If the most powerful force refrained from acting recklessly, none of the smaller sects dared step out of line.
Within the grand mountain gate of the Rogue Alliance, the seat of its power, everything seemed calm and serene.
Yet beneath this surface of stability, a storm was brewing.
In a tastefully decorated inner chamber, Shen Ruyan, dressed in flowing white robes, sat at a jade desk, meticulously handling the affairs of the alliance.
Despite the tranquility around her, she could not shake a growing sense of unease.
“Why do I feel so unsettledaEUR ?” she murmured to herself, raising her delicate brows as she gazed out beyond the hall.
“Is it that feeling again, Lady Ruyan?” A voice broke the silence.
Su Lao, Shen Ruyan's trusted aide, stepped forward, her expression filled with concern.
As Shen Ruyan's confidante, Su Lao often managed the alliance's day-to-day affairs, allowing Shen Ruyan to focus on cultivation.
But lately, Shen Ruyan had been plagued by a persistent sense of dread, which had drawn her attention back to the daily workings of the alliance in hopes of finding clues.
“Yes,” Shen Ruyan replied, her voice soft but tinged with worry.
“The feeling is growing strongeraEUR as if something monumental is about to happen.” Her expression, usually serene and composed, was marred by a furrowed brow.
At first, she had suspected the unease stemmed from Jiang Chengxuan's breakthrough, fearing complications in his cultivation.
But her intuition told her otherwise.
If Jiang Chengxuan's breakthrough faced trouble, the disturbance would have been far more pronounced.
Instead, this feeling was subtle but increasingly persistent, gnawing at her confidence.
“What could it be?” Shen Ruyan muttered, almost to herself.
“If my intuition is correct, this isn't something small.” As an Earth Immortal herself, her instincts were rarely wrong.
The fact that she, with her current cultivation and strength, felt uneasy meant the threat was likely something extraordinary.
“Should we summon the elders of the other sects to discuss this matter?” Su Lao suggested gently, her tone careful but concerned.
