Chapter 403: Chapter 403
At this moment, inside the Hale family’s meeting hall, the geniuses and elders were all present.
After a year of peace, the Saint Lord suddenly wanted to activate the grand formation.
The crowd had no idea why, but since the Saint Lord was doing this, he must have his reasons. Thus, no one opened their mouths to question him first, choosing instead to wait in silence.
Alex sat at the head seat, his gaze swept around the room, and seeing that everyone was present, he spoke. "Everyone, there is a matter I must tell you."
"Please speak clearly, Saint Lord." Cedric cupped his hands, looking incomparably respectful.
"The torrential rain outside the Hale family’s western border is an anomaly of heaven and earth." Alex said indifferently.
"An anomaly usually signifies the descent of a secret realm. However, that place is not a secret realm."
Everyone present revealed a look of astonishment, not a secret realm? Then what else could it be?
"Instead... it is a hidden faction." Alex’s gaze released a sharp glint, the moment these words left his mouth, the hearts of the Hale family crowd were incomparably shocked.
"This... there are actually other factions in the lower realm?!" The four great elders were utterly shocked, they had never even heard of hidden factions before.
"Saint Lord, since it is a hidden faction, and so close to the Hale family, could it be..." Cedric spoke up, somewhat worried.
"Activating the grand formation is first for protection. Second, with me here, nothing will happen," Alex said.
"Within the hidden factions, there are inevitably Half-Step Saints present. As for peak Supreme Realm experts, who knows how many there are."
"Since they are able to reveal themselves, it inevitably means a major event is about to occur."
Following Alex’s words, the crowd’s hearts gradually calmed down.
That was right, how many crises had the Saint Lord personally resolved? Was it not the same during the last great battle? Now that he had broken through to Half-Step Saint, his strength was unprecedentedly formidable, he might not necessarily be weaker than those hidden factions.
"First Elder, pay close attention to any foreign cultivators arriving in the nearby cities." Alex thought of something and added.
"During this period, a batch of monstrous geniuses of unknown identities will inevitably flood into the lower realm."
"Warn our clansmen to avoid conflicting with them as much as possible."
"Yes, Saint Lord." Cedric nodded in agreement.
Regarding these matters, Alex had already given his orders, and there was nothing else.
The reason he asked his clansmen to act low-key was because he had not yet figured out the true strength of those hidden factions, without knowing exactly how strong the other party was, Alex would not act rashly.
As for other factions, Alex would at most look out for the Heavenly Flame Dynasty a little, thinking of this, he told Cedric. "First Elder, I must trouble you to personally make a trip to the Heavenly Flame Dynasty and inform them of this matter."
"Alright, understood, Saint Lord." Cedric nodded.
Alex thought for a moment and outlined a few more key points.
First, have people secretly observe that curtain of rain. If anyone walked out from it, inform Alex immediately.
Second, if the surrounding cities were attacked, they must seek out Alex at the very first moment.
In the following days, the Hale family was unusually peaceful, that violent rainstorm fell continuously, blocking all line of sight. Yet the hidden faction within it made no moves.
However, across the continent, news came continuously.
All the major factions had people arriving at their doors to issue challenges.
All the monstrous geniuses within those sects were defeated by outsiders, moreover, practically all of these victories were won with overwhelming, crushing momentum.
Once this news came out, it shocked all the factions in the entire lower realm.
"Where did all these monstrous geniuses pop out from? How come we have never heard of them?"
"They all claim to be rogue cultivators. When asked, the sects they declare are ones no one has ever heard of."
"They truly are monstrous geniuses, their strength incredibly formidable, a few days ago, the number one disciple of the Divine Blade Sect was violently beaten in just three moves."
"Hiss, truly terrifying!"
The entire lower realm was discussing this.
And on this day, from within that curtain of rain adjacent to the Hale family, someone finally walked out.
The Hale family scouts saw this and immediately went to inform Alex.
"Saint Lord, someone walked out of the rain curtain today!" the scout reported.
"Good, I know." Alex nodded.
"Continue watching him. If he enters the Hale family’s territory, come tell me."
"Yes, Saint Lord!" The scout cupped his hands and left.
"The moment these people from the hidden factions appear, they immediately challenge the monstrous geniuses of the major sects, it seems they cannot hold back anymore." Alex murmured, his gaze flickering as he pondered a way to deal with this person.
"The person who walked out of the rain curtain is inevitably a monstrous genius of that hidden faction, presumably, they have come to the Hale family to issue a challenge."
"I will let Julian make a move."
Alex quickly decided on the candidate and sent the notification down.
Upon hearing this, Julian’s battle intent soared. "I wonder if the monstrous geniuses of these hidden factions are truly that powerful." His gaze revealed a sharp glint, he had long been impatient to find out.
Just at this moment, a youthful figure abruptly appeared in front of him, Julian was startled and hurriedly bowed. "Julian greets the Saint Lord!"
The arrival was none other than Alex, he waved his hand and stated his purpose. "I am arranging for you to take action, you can go all out. I will be watching over you."
"If he wants to deal a lethal blow, he will have to consider whether I will let him off."
"Yes, Saint Lord!" Julian nodded.
Alex gave a hum of acknowledgment, looking Julian up and down, piercing through to his current realm with a single glance.
At this time, Julian was at the First Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
To break through from the Core Formation Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm in just a year was already extraordinary, his natural talent was sufficient to be called monstrous.
