Grand Elders

Far away from the Xindian city, a large crate that seems to be made by a meteorite exists nearby a large mountain,

Inside the crater, there resides an armored woman which seems to be wounded heavily.

A hundred meters away from her are nine beings glaring at each other menacingly, all of them seems to emanate the same strength of aura that appears to have the ability to crush anyone who comes near them.

One kilometer away from the woman are tens of people that are also emanating a strong aura although much weaker.

Beyond that distance are numerous cultivators. The further the distance of where each cultivator stays at, the weaker their auras are.

Despite everyone of them having high cultivation levels, nobody dared to move closer to the armored woman after seeing some ignorant individuals going beyond the distance limit where they can stay only to be turned into meat paste by the pressure coming from the armored woman.

Everyone were scared shitless by this sight and decided not to follow their footsteps. Despite being filled with fear, they still don't want to miss out on the opportunity to watch behemoths that rarely show themselves make a move.

All of the cultivators sights which is filled with their utmost respect are directed towards the powerful existences that are only a hundred meters away from the armored woman.

Even though most of us here are already beyond Saint Realm and are treated as gods by mortals, we're still nothing compared to the nine of them whose strength are already nearing the limit of what this continent can handle. They thought, feeling envious.

"So many grand elders came out to gather together, this is the first time it ever happened. Hehehe...."

While the crowd are looking at them, one of the nine people wearing a red robe spoke with a grating voice irritating to hear. While he was talking, a ray of light suddenly went towards him in high speed.

Without even being surprised, he blocked it with his sleeve. Afterwards, he looked towards the source of the attack and creepily smiled.

"You church dog shouldn't bother me while I'm talking..."

"You devil shouldn't even be here!" The grand elder from the church said.

While they were arguing, the other grand elders were all calmly watching but everyone is on their full focus since attacks can come at any time.

"What do we do now? We can only stay a hundred meters away that woman." Peng Su said to Dishi while pointing at the armored woman.

Dishi didn't answered and only raised his hands to control the surrounding qi, afterwards, he looked at Peng Su, "Do you notice anything different about the surrounding qi?"

Peng Su scratched his head and also tried to sense the qi. Not too long after, his eyes widen as he also discovered something.

"The qi is thousand times stronger than the outside! Even the best spiritual qi gathering formations of the empires can only do it up to hundred times and the range is very limited."

Peng Su looked at Dishi in realization, "But here, it's about a hundred meters. further away from that, the density of qi lessens but it's still higher than the empires."

Dishi nodded and said, "That's why maybe there's gonna be a battle of who's gonna have the space nearer to the armored woman. Both of our empires strength are only second to the church and the bleeding skull so maybe the others will gang up on us."

As expected, when they turned towards the other empires grand elders, Dishi and Peng Su can see their cautious glares towards both of them.

Peng Su helplessly raised both his hands and said, "Don't worry, our empires doesn't have any intention of owning this place to ourselves."

Then he tugged Dishi with his elbow making Dishi nod. Only when Peng Su said that did the other empires expression lightened.

After seeing their expressions, Dishi and Peng Su also relaxed.

*Clank!

Peng Su glanced at the Bleeding Skull's and Church's grand elders that seems to have started fighting, resulting in the shifting of the qi in the air.

"What about those two?" Peng Su asked the other grand elders.

One of them stepped out and said, "Leave them alone for now, what we need to discuss right now is who is gonna have the place closer to that woman."

Hearing this, Peng Su pondered for a moment. Although all the grand elders here can't get nearer than a hundred meters, maybe our patriarchs can. Peng Su furrowed his brows. But the patriarchs wont easily go out of their seclusion for this one because they say that spiritual qi can't help them breakthrough.

After this thoughts, Peng Su faced the other grand elders and said, "How about letting our disciples decide."

All the grand elders nodded in satisfaction hearing Peng Su's suggestion. They all then went away, even the church and bleeding skull's grand elders, to prepare for the incoming fight.
