Chapter 567: Chapter 402: Divine Temple Conference!
As Xu Yang followed the red-haired elder of the Magician’s Union to the headquarters, the director of the Divine Shield Agency, Nick Fury, had arrived at the White House and met with the President who frequently appeared in online and television news.
After listening to Nick Fury, the President shook his head without thinking: “No…Director Fury, that would be too dangerous. I have been keeping an eye on that Xu Yang. I watched the whole battle in Miami through a live satellite feed!”
“Xu Yang’s strength lies not within himself, but in the Eastern Immortals he can summon at any time!”
Nick Fury said, “Mr. President, you are not a practitioner and have no understanding of the cultivation system in the East. The Daoist Sect in the East has a Daoist skill called Summoning Deities. Xu Yang is probably using this method to summon the legendary Eastern Immortals…”
“But as far as I know, the use of Summoning Deities also has a significant drawback. Before summoning, the practitioner needs to cleanse themselves, burn incense, fast, and pray to the heavens in order to receive protection from the immortals.”
Being the director of the Divine Shield Agency…
Nick Fury had a better understanding of Da Xia’s cultivation system than many people in Da Xia.
He chuckled, “Mr. President, you don’t really think that Xu Yang, a mere mortal, can summon celestial beings at any time, do you?”
“Hmph!”
Just then, a cold snort suddenly sounded.
Nick Fury turned to look and saw a muscular, bald white man about 1.9 meters tall emerge from a room with a war knife on his back and thunder flickering in his eyes.
Even someone as powerful as Nick Fury couldn’t help but feel a tremendous oppression upon seeing this bald white man.
This white man was none other than Tony, the Thunder God, the first master in Miland, once known as the “world’s number one strongest.”
Obviously,
He had arrived at the White House earlier than Nick Fury.
“Director Fury,”
As soon as Thunder God Tony appeared, he bluntly said, “You not only represent the Divine Shield Agency but also Miland… I hope you can consider the consequences before taking action. The Eastern Divine Dragon has already awakened; there is no need for us to provoke them!”
“Mr. Tony…”
Nick Fury said, “I hope you understand that it’s not me provoking them, but them causing trouble on our national soil.”
Thunder God sneered, “If you hadn’t tried to surround and kill Xu Yang, attempting to use this to provoke a war, would any of this have happened?”
He glanced at Nick Fury, showing no respect, and said, “Remember that the original purpose of your Divine Shield Agency was to protect the lives and property safety of Miland’s citizens. Comparing that to Da Xia’s Spirits Management Bureau… you are far behind!”
“Tony!”
Nick Fury was a bit angry.
Considering his strength and status, those capitalists and senior officials in Miland, even the President himself, had to show him some respect. However, the man before him was Thunder God “Tony”!
Although no longer claiming to be the “world’s number one strongest,”
Tony was undoubtedly the number one master in Miland!
Nick Fury had sparred with Thunder God Tony eight times, and each time he ended up defeated!
In their first three matches, he could hold his own against Thunder God Tony, but things changed later when he was completely crushingly defeated. Their last contest was half a year ago.
At that time, both had just entered the Divine-level. Nick Fury confidently challenged Thunder God Tony in an attempt to avenge his previous losses. However, he was defeated by Tony in one move, and one sword strike inflicted severe wounds on him.
Therefore, Nick Fury was very wary of Thunder God Tony and could only suppress his anger, saying, “Currently, the world is in turmoil, with only Da Xia maintaining a stable situation… They have already started vigorously promoting martial arts two months ago!”
“You know better than me about the internal situation!”
“The only way to divert domestic conflicts now is to wage war, and if we don’t start a war… how can we stop Da Xia’s rise?”
Thunder God Tony was fuming and retorted, “What does Da Xia’s rise or fall have to do with you?”
The two began to argue.
The President of Miland was in tears…
He couldn’t interject a single word into the debate between these two powerful men. He could only suggest, “Gentlemen, would you both like to try our White Palace’s lunch? The cook has studied the art of Da Xia cuisine for thirteen years in San Francisco’s Chinatown. He is an expert in various Da Xia delicacies.”
The two exchanged glances.
They both stopped arguing in unison.
Even though Nick Fury had deep prejudices about Da Xia, he couldn’t deny that Da Xia’s cuisine was the most delicious in the world.
…
At this time, Xu Yang had already followed the red-haired elder from the Magician’s Union, leaving Miland and flying into the Ancient Dominion.
The Ancient Dominion is a special country.
It is near Miland and located at the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Its land area is only 110,000 square kilometers, and its population is less than 1200. It’s even less than one province of Da Xia.
What no one knew was that the headquarters of the Western Sorcerer Association was in the Ancient Dominion.
Over the years, the Magician’s Union has gradually infiltrated and now completely controls the economic lifelines of this country.
After circling the Ancient Dominion, the red-haired elder finally landed at a villa outside of Saint George.
Xu Yang, who had hidden and suppressed his aura, quietly landed. He followed the red-haired elder into the villa, but neither the old man nor the people inside noticed him.
“Elder Charles!”
“Elder Charles is back?”
The people in the villa greeted the red-haired elder with their salutations. One Saint Realm mage stepped forward and asked, but the red-haired elder waved his hand, saying, “Notify all the council members and elders within the council. There will be an emergency meeting held in the Divine Temple in 20 minutes.”
The Magicians’ Union’s “Divine Temple” is similar to the hidden realms of various sects in Da Xia. Like the Saint Hall of the Papal Church, it was discovered by the masters of the temple in a “divine revelation.” They subsequently moved it and established the Magicians’ Union’s “headquarters.”
Apart from the high-level masters who need to keep watch over various places, the remaining council members, elders, and some outstandingly talented people cultivated in the “divine revelation.”
There are several entrances to the Divine Temple.
This villa is one of those entrances.
Xu Yang’s English was terrible; he couldn’t understand the conversation between the two. He could only gauge the general idea from their spiritual fluctuations as he followed the red-haired elder into the villa’s underground basement.
He saw that one wall of the basement was actually a massive mirror.
Then he watched as the red-haired elder activated his magical power, reciting magic spells while pressing his hand to the center of the mirror.
The next moment, a unique wave of magical power emanated from the mirror’s surface, followed by ripples like those on water!
Numerous light rays flowed from the mirror, forming a portal on the ground.
The red-haired elder stepped into the portal.
Xu Yang followed closely, entering it as well.
The world spun around them.
The scene before them changed.
When they opened their eyes again, the world had transformed.
Faint mist drifted through the sky, and an artificial sun hung high above. The entire “divine revelation” was roughly the same size as “Blood Fiend Island,” about 30 kilometers in diameter.
In the center, a small town was built, with some simple villages scattered around it.
The red-haired elder, “Charles,” flew above the town and then descended, entering a temple. Disciples of the temple stepped forward to greet him, but Charles wore a dark expression and didn’t speak, heading straight for a huge, luxurious conference room.
Xu Yang trailed behind and entered the conference room as well.
The conference room was enormous, with a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The table in the room was made of a rare type of jade, emanating faint magical waves. It seemed to be a special kind of magic crystal stone.
Arranged around the table were about 30 chairs, also carved from magic crystal stone.
About a minute later, a middle-aged man walked in.
He was burly, exuding a heavy aura from head to toe. He pulled a chair next to “Charles” and sat down, laughing as he said, “Charles, it doesn’t look like your trip went very smoothly, did it?”
Without speaking, Charles glanced at the burly middle-aged man.
The man laughed again and continued, “I’ve said it before… brute force is the only way. We’ve been dormant for many years, and everyone alive now is at the pinnacle of humanity. Why would we bow to a junior?”
“Junior?”
Charles shook his head and said, “Xu Yang fought against the incarnation of the primordial demon of sin, Asazel, revealing a strength that has reached the threshold of a true deity. He is even stronger than us, Morris. If you only regard Xu Yang as a junior, you’ll surely pay a heavy price in the future.”
Morris sneered, scoffing, “I’d like to see for myself if the Sword Immortal of Da Xia can break my Morris’s earthen defense!”
Obviously.
He was an “earth elemental mage.”
No, that’s not right!
He should be called an “earth divine mage”!
Then, three more elders entered the conference room, followed by several Saint Realm council members.
Xu Yang was confused by this.
Why did the mighty Magicians’ Union have only five “divine-level” members?
Even considering the “Water God” they’d killed, there were only six!
It’s worth noting that the Magicians’ Union isn’t a force of one country, but a power formed by most of the mages of the entire western world!
“With so little power, they want to invade Da Xia?”
Xu Yang shook his head in secret.
He felt that these people were simply unreasonable.
With everyone present, the meeting officially began.
Xu Yang had intended to stand to one side and listen for a while. However, these people kept discussing the details of how to kill him, even saying he coveted beauty and had countless women in his harem. They planned to find a few talented female mages to seduce him!
“Damn it!”
Xu Yang, standing behind “Charles,” could no longer stand the conversation. He pulled out his Jiao-slaying Sword and slashed off “Charles’s” head in a single stroke!
