Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 239 - Two Alliances

The news of the conflict in the Jade Treasure City spread rapidly throughout the Blue Moon Continent and caused quite a great upheaval. Among ordinary humans, free cultivators, as well as cultivators who came from small sects became the ones who were most worried about this situation.

The reason is only one. Every cultivator world war occurred, they were the ones who were the most harmed, both materially and life-wise. Despite trying not to interfere in the war or stay away from it, they almost always feel the impact of the war, be it big or small. Not a few especially small sects that perished when the war occurred.

Meanwhile, the ten-star great sects were preoccupied with the war in which they fought. Sided with a large sect of white and neutral streams, an alliance was created in retaliation for the conflict that occurred in the Jade Treasure City started by the Moon Cloud Sect.

The Sacred Sword Sect and the Cleansing Fang Sect were the originators of this white-neutral alliance idea, which then invited the other white and neutral sects to join in. The first to give an answer and agree to join was the Star Fire Palace, followed by the Sky Mountain Sect, the White Lotus Sect, then the last Flower Ombak Sect.

The Northern Ice Fortress's disengagement from the war was commonplace and could be interviewed, but this time left the other major sects astonished as they were willing to help even indirectly.

Most surprising was the stance taken by the Jade Treasure Tower that refused to join into the white-neutral alliance. There was no further explanation regarding this, but the other major sects made a conjecture so that they could justify the choice that the Jade Treasure Tower had taken.

In the Moon Cloud Sect, the higher-ups of their sect were preoccupied with devising war strategies. The Moon Cloud Sect did not fight alone, they brought other troops from smaller sects under their auspices.

Amidst the rush, Yun Ming and Yue Song were startled by the arrival of two guests from the other black sect's largest sect. Yun Ming and Yue Song intervened directly to greet the guests as the one who came was the number one person in their respective sects.

"Patriarch Yun, the Moon Cloud Sect is engaged in a war, but you are not inviting us along. What does this mean?"

The one who had just voiced out was a man of lush stature and plump cheeks named Gui Tian who was also known as the Ghost Gate, the Patriarch of the Grey Sky Sect. Although he looked friendly and friendly, he was actually a dangerous person, even among black-flow cultivators, for mastering soul magic to manipulate the spirits of the dead.

Gui Tian came along with a tall, flat-faced man inclined coldly, and his gaze was sharp named Mo Da, the Patriarch of the Demon Blood Sect who was also known as the Demon Gate.

The sect led by Mo Da consisted of cultivators who underwent cultivation practices using the help of stealth gems. Almost all of the members of this sect had an abnormal appearance of having a stealth body part on a certain limb as a side effect of absorbing the power of the stealth gem.

Yun Ming and Yue Song laughed at Gui Tian's words and were able to understand the direction of the question.

"Patriarch Gui, Patriarch Mo, I didn't expect you guys to come here. You guys should have told me in advance so that we could welcome you guys well. Plus, we're busy right now."

Gui Tian flicked his hand several times in front of his face. "Aiya, you're too shy, Patriarch Yun. Of course we know you're busy. That's why we came here. What's more I hear you have a very talented granddaughter..."

Gui Tian praised Yun Lian whose existence was almost unheard of and probably would not have been heard of for a long time had there not been a conflict in Jade Treasure City.

Gui Tian had seven disciples and his youngest disciple was the most genius in the field of cultivation. Although it belonged to the current golden generation due to the chance of forming the Sky Foundation, but if comparing it to Yun Lian's cultivation talent, it was certainly not comparable.

"Your granddaughter is extremely powerful, even with her own abilities being able to defeat some of those rotten white flow young cultivators. It was well worth being the grandson of the Gate of Death and definitely the future of the Moon Cloud Sect was brighter. Isn't that right, Patriarch Mo?"

Mo Da nodded slowly. "really. It's hard to admit, but I don't think my son Mo Feng who is the most genius in the Blood Demon Sect can compare to your granddaughter, Patriarch Yun."

"Until you guys come straight here, of course, there's something important to say, right?"

Gui Tian's witty face slowly disappeared. For a moment Gui Tian and Mo Da glanced at each other.

"Indeed right. It's about the war to come..."

Gui Tian said his side and Mo Da agreed to interfere in the war triggered by the conflict in Jade Treasure City some time ago. The Moon Cloud Sect was indeed the largest sect of black flow at the moment, so the participation of the other two sects helped them indirectly. But the reason the two sects went to war was not that.

"Patriarch Yun, you must have guessed, the enemy is currently forming a large, larger and stronger alliance when compared to the war twenty years ago. Not that I mean underestimating the power of the Moon Cloud Sect, but I think it's better for you to do the same thing."

"You mean forming a black alliance?"

"right."

Yun Ming and Yue Song glanced at each other. The idea wasn't too bad, but considering they were black-flow cultivators, forming an alliance wasn't as simple as it sounded.

Before Yun Ming could give an answer, a person's voice sounded.

"Did I miss an important conversation?"

All of the gazes led to that figure which shocked them.

"Patriarch Lei!"

Yun Ming immediately approached then gave his greetings. "Why did you suddenly come here, Patriarch Lei? You should have told me first."

The figure that Patriarch Lei summoned was Lei Hai, the leader of the Black Thunder Sect who was also known as the Thunder Gate. The Black Thunder Sect was including a ten-star sect since the past ten years.

"There's no need to be condescending, Patriarch Yun. But considering we are old acquaintances, it is precisely I who should ask, why do not you invite me to the upcoming war?"

"Don't get me wrong, Patriarch Lei. It's not that I don't want to take you, but I haven't had the time to give a message to the Black Thunder Sect yet. Hope you can understand because we're so busy."

Yun Ming gave an awkward answer that made Lei Hai cluck softly.

Seriate...
