Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique
Chapter 296: Plotting a RebellionHearing this, Elder Lei and Elder Wen were speechless.
'Who said he was coming to pay his respects to you?'
'Even as the Sect Leader of our Giant Sword Sect, you're not worthy.'
Elder Wen explained, "Sect Leader, you've misunderstood. Elder Su isn't coming to see you. In a few days, it will be his nineteenth birthday. Elder Lei and I have invited him to hold his birthday celebration here at our Giant Sword Sect."
"What?"
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect asked in disbelief, "You're saying Elder Su is only nineteen?"
"That's right!"
Elder Wen continued, "However, our Giant Sword Sect must bear all the costs for the celebration, and we must also present him with a Treasure."
"Rest assured, I will definitely throw a magnificent birthday celebration for Elder Su—one he'll never forget for the rest of his life."
The Giant Sword Sect's Sect Leader thumped his chest and vowed.
'To be able to crush a Martial Emperor at nineteen... What kind of monster is he?'
'By the time he's twenty-nine, wouldn't he be a Martial Emperor, or even a Martial Saint Level expert, capable of dominating the entire Cangxuan Realm?'
For such a prominent figure to hold his birthday celebration at their Giant Sword Sect was a blessing they had accrued over several lifetimes.
"Elder Lei, Elder Wen, hear my command."
The Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Sect said grimly, "I order you to invite every Sect and family in this region. Tell them all to bring their greatest Treasures to celebrate Elder Su's birthday."
"Yes, sir!"
The two responded in unison.
Elder Wen asked in a low voice, "What if some refuse to come?"
The Giant Sword Sect's Sect Leader replied coldly, "Show no mercy. As for those who resist, annihilate their clans."
Soon, news that Su Mo was coming to the Giant Sword Sect for his birthday celebration spread like wildfire throughout the region, causing a huge stir.
「In a certain tavern.」
A scar-faced man asked, "You've all heard, right? The Giant Sword Sect is throwing a birthday celebration for some 'Elder Su' and demanding that every family in the region attend and present him with their greatest Treasures."
"I know all about it!"
a gray-robed old man nearby said.
At his words, everyone turned to look at the gray-robed old man.
The gray-robed old man produced a Jade Token engraved with a giant sword, placed it on the table, and asked, "Gentlemen, surely you recognize this?"
"Is that... the Giant Sword Sect's Giant Sword Order?"
the scar-faced man exclaimed in shock.
The gray-robed old man nodded. "Indeed. This is the Giant Sword Sect's Giant Sword Order. Once you receive this order, you must go to the Giant Sword Sect and present a Treasure to Elder Su. Otherwise, you will be hunted down mercilessly by the sect. Those who resist will have their clans annihilated."
"What? Annihilate our clans if we don't go?"
"The Giant Sword Sect is being too tyrannical."
"Heh, what can you do? They're the ones with the power."
The crowd broke into a flurry of discussion.
The scar-faced man continued his inquiry, "Excuse me, elder, but what is the origin of this Elder Su?"
"Qingyang City!"
the gray-robed old man said flatly.
The scar-faced man frowned. "Qingyang City? Where's that? I've never heard of it. Has anyone here?"
"Nope!"
Everyone in the surrounding crowd shook their heads.
The gray-robed old man said, "Qingyang City is in the Northern Profound Domain. It's natural you haven't heard of it. Even I am only hearing of it for the first time."
"What? The Northern Profound Domain?"
"That barren wasteland? What kind of peerless powerhouse could possibly come from a place like that?"
"The Giant Sword Sect can't be trying to trick us, can they?"
The crowd was filled with doubt.
Though they had never been to the Northern Profound Domain, they knew it was a desolate, savage land where a Martial Emperor Powerhouse hadn't appeared in centuries.
"For the Giant Sword Sect to issue the Giant Sword Order, they certainly wouldn't deceive us. It's just that..."
The gray-robed old man trailed off.
The scar-faced man asked curiously, "Just what?"
The gray-robed old man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "I heard... that this Elder Su is only eighteen. He turns nineteen in two days."
"Eighteen... Holy shit, you've got to be kidding me!"
"An eighteen-year-old dares to call himself 'Elder'? I'm thirty-eight! Doesn't that make me his grand-uncle or something?"
"They want us to go to some little brat's birthday party and even bring gifts? To hell with that! I'm not going!"
The crowd was furious.
All those invited by the Giant Sword Sect were prominent figures, experts at the Martial King realm or above. Forcing them to celebrate some young punk's birthday was naturally unacceptable.
The gray-robed old man sighed. "Alas... we have to go. Otherwise, the Giant Sword Sect will hunt us down mercilessly and even annihilate our clans."
"Hmph, I refuse to believe the Giant Sword Sect can kill every single one of us."
"If they piss us off, we'll just band together, storm their Giant Sword Sect, and wipe out their entire heritage!"
"Dammit, the Giant Sword Sect is taking things way too far."
"That bullshit Elder Su! He's just a piece of shit, if you ask me."
The crowd seethed with righteous indignation, ready to unite and oppose the Giant Sword Sect.
However, the gray-robed old man threw cold water on their plans. "Everyone, have you forgotten about the Giant Sword Sect's Celestial Vault Battleship?"
Instantly, the atmosphere changed.
Hearing the three words "Celestial Vault Battleship," everyone's expression changed, their faces filled with terror.
The gray-robed old man narrowed his eyes and said, "The Celestial Vault Battleship is equipped with eighty-eight Tier Seven Spirit Cannons. A single shot can destroy an entire city."
HISS...
Hearing of the Celestial Vault Battleship's immense power, everyone gasped in shock.
'A single shot can destroy a city... How terrifying is that?'
What Sect could possibly withstand such a powerful attack?
Even if someone managed to survive a blast from the Celestial Vault Battleship, they'd likely be grievously injured and on the verge of death. Anyone could just walk up and crush them like an ant.
The scar-faced man pondered, "The power of the Celestial Vault Battleship is indeed daunting, but... surely the Giant Sword Sect wouldn't dare to use it, would they?"
"That is the real heart of the matter."
The gray-robed old man analyzed seriously, "The Celestial Vault Battleship is a strategic Spiritual Soldier. Its purpose is deterrence. Whoever is the first to stick their neck out will be the one it blasts. The other families and powers, terrified of its horrific power and the threat of annihilation, will have no choice but to kneel and submit."
"So you're saying we have no choice but to go celebrate that little brat Su's birthday?"
the scar-faced man asked.
The gray-robed old man said impassively, "Don't go? Then just wait for your clan to be annihilated."
"But..."
The scar-faced man looked aggrieved.
For him, a Half-Step Martial Emperor, to celebrate an eighteen-year-old kid's birthday was simply too humiliating.
The gray-robed old man changed the subject. "Aren't you all curious why the Giant Sword Sect wants to throw a birthday celebration for this Elder Su?"
"Well..."
The crowd fell into thoughtful silence.
Of course they were curious.
A middle-aged man said coldly, "The Giant Sword Sect is doing this for one of two reasons. The first is to amass wealth. The second is to test their authority and play us all for fools."
"Playing us for fools, are they?"
The scar-faced man said sinisterly, "If that's the case, then I'll just have to go and see for myself how the Giant Sword Sect plans to play us. And while I'm at it, I'll destroy their sect's heritage."
"How would you destroy it?"
the crowd asked curiously.
The scar-faced man sneered, "By rebelling, of course! We'll kill everyone in the Giant Sword Sect. They can't possibly use the Celestial Vault Battleship to bombard their own mountain gate, can they?"
"Hey... that's a great idea!"
The middle-aged man said with pleasant surprise, "If the Giant Sword Sect dares to fire on us, their own mountain gate will be destroyed. If they don't, we'll band together and kill every last one of them."
"Exactly!"
The scar-faced man nodded. "But this will require everyone's cooperation. When the time comes to make our move, don't you dare go soft on them."
