Chapter 1485: A Sense of Foreboding, Disaster Looms (Part 2) Chapter 1485: A Sense of Foreboding, Disaster Looms (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Shen Ruyan trusted her instincts deeply, and Su Lao's suggestion struck a chord with her.
After a moment of silent deliberation, Shen Ruyan nodded firmly.
“Very well.
Let it be so,” she said.
“This matter carries too many uncertainties to be ignored any longer.” She turned to Su Lao, her expression resolute.
“Send messages to the various sects.
Summon their leaders to the Rogue Alliance.
Tell them we have urgent matters to discuss.” Without hesitation, Su Lao bowed and responded with a respectful, “Understood.” In the next moment, she turned and disappeared in a flash of celestial light, her form streaking across the sky.
As the dominant power in the Western Continent, any call from the Rogue Alliance was taken with utmost seriousness by the other sects.
Shen Ruyan's authority and reputation ensured that the summons would be heeded, even by the most powerful sect leaders.
For now, Shen Ruyan chose to limit the gathering to the sect leaders rather than calling upon their Earth Immortal patriarchs.
She did not yet believe the situation warranted such a drastic measure.
After issuing her instructions, Shen Ruyan stood from her desk and stepped outside the hall.
Her delicate brows remained furrowed as she gazed out over the vast domain of the Rogue Alliance.
The alliance had grown beyond recognition since she first arrived.
Once a small, inconspicuous gathering of loose cultivators, it now spanned countless mountain ranges, celestial treasure lands, and spirit-filled domains.
The Rogue Alliance governed nearly a hundred immortal cities and protected billions of lives under its banner, standing as one of the greatest powers in the Xuanming Immortal Realm.
Staring at the alliance's resplendent halls and grand martial grounds, Shen Ruyan was filled with a mix of pride and unease.
She recalled Jiang Chengxuan's parting words clearly: In times of great crisis, value your life above all else.
Do not fight to the death.
Yet, as she stood atop the legacy she and Jiang Chengxuan had built, the thought of abandoning it seemed impossible.
The Rogue Alliance had become an inseparable part of their lives, its strength intertwined with their efforts and dreams.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden and sharp feeling in her chestaEUR”a premonition of calamity that had grown stronger with each passing moment.
She shook her head and resolved to wait for news from Su Lao and the summoned sect leaders before taking further action.
But calamity did not wait.
Shortly after Su Lao departed, a storm began to brew at the border between Zhongzhou and the Western Continent.
Under the cover of powerful concealment spells, twelve Earth Immortal patriarchs, each leading elite forces from their sects, advanced swiftly toward the Rogue Alliance.
A resounding thunderclap tore through the sky.
Shen Ruyan's heart jolted as an overwhelming sense of dread gripped her.
The sensitivity of an Earth Immortal to imminent danger sent her into immediate action.
“They're here!” she murmured, her voice low but resolute.
Wasting no time, Shen Ruyan unleashed her celestial power, summoning her Blessed Land into the material plane.
In an instant, a vast heavenly terrain expanded above the Rogue Alliance's mountain gate, blotting out the sky and exuding boundless primal energy.
Its sheer aura enveloped the alliance, sparking immediate alarm among its inhabitants.
“What's happening?
Is that an Earth Immortal's Blessed Land?” “Who dares attack the Rogue Alliance?” “Activate the protective array!
Call the elders!” Amid the commotion, elders and disciples scrambled into action, activating the sect's grand defensive formation.
Beams of radiant energy shot into the heavens, forming an intricate network of glowing runes that spread across the entire Rogue Alliance.
As the defensive array came to life, the sky above darkened.
Ripples of spatial energy surged like tidal waves, and fissures began to appear in the fabric of reality.
Through these tears, twelve figures emerged, each exuding an aura of unmatched might.
Their presence alone was enough to shroud the land in darkness, save for the radiant glow of Shen Ruyan's Blessed Land.
“Twelve Earth ImmortalsaEUR ” murmured a disciple, his voice trembling with disbelief.
“ImpossibleaEUR How can there be so many?” “They're not illusions.
This is real!” an elder said, his tone laced with dread.
The sight of twelve Earth Immortals descending upon their sect left the disciples and elders of the Rogue Alliance frozen with fear.
Even Shen Ruyan found herself momentarily overwhelmed.
These were not illusions; the power radiating from each figure was all too real.
Among them, she recognized familiar facesaEUR”Star Desolation, Starfall, and Starfiend Immortals.
“So, this is the source of that unease,” Shen Ruyan thought bitterly.
Though the cause of her foreboding was now clear, it brought her no comfort.
The magnitude of the threat she faced only deepened her worry.
She steadied herself with a deep breath, her expression hardening.
With a burst of celestial light, she rose into the sky, her gaze sharp as lightning.
The twelve Earth Immortals stood in silence, their eyes locking with Shen Ruyan's.
Though no words were spoken, the tension in the air was palpable, a silent clash of will and power.
Finally, Shen Ruyan broke the silence.
Her voice was cold, yet carried the weight of her authority.
“To what do I owe the honor of such a grand assembly?
Zhongzhou's esteemed patriarchs, surely the winds have carried you astray.
The Rogue Alliance has no interest in hosting unwelcome guests.” From among the twelve, Star Desolation Immortal stepped forward, his Blessed Land surging with energy as he leveled a cold glare at Shen Ruyan.
“Sacred grounds across Zhongzhou have been collapsing without explanation,” he thundered.
“We have traced the cause to your Rogue Alliance.
We are here for answers.” His words crashed like thunder upon the Rogue Alliance, leaving its disciples and elders stunned.
To be accused of such a catastrophe was a dire charge indeed.
Shen Ruyan's expression darkened, her voice unwavering.
“The Rogue Alliance has been peaceful and restrained for millennia, never setting foot in Zhongzhou.
Your accusations are baseless, and your actions, unwarranted.” A voice boomed from within the Rogue Alliance as another figure joined Shen Ruyan.
Immortal Yuanhan, shrouded in radiant light, ascended to her side.
His presence helped alleviate some of the crushing pressure.
“Your behavior is unjustified,” Yuanhan said, his voice steady but firm.
“The Rogue Alliance has no hand in your calamity.
You come to our gates without cause.
What do you truly seek?” The twelve Earth Immortals made no move to stand down.
Their Blessed Lands and Dao principles intertwined in the heavens, creating a tempest of overwhelming power.
The confrontation escalated as the winds roared, lightning crackled, and the very fabric of the heavens seemed to tremble under their combined might.
