<h4>Chapter 124: Immortal Conve</h4>
“Sigh.” Fang Jia knew that right now, they were basically trapped. If they wanted to go out, they need the Fang n to talk with the Immortal Conve.
The Immortal Conve was an informal organizationposed of Fifth Stage Powerhouses in the Immortal Continent. Once a practitioner steps on the Fifth Stage, they will be invited to join the Immortal Conve.
In other words, it’s a club for Fifth Stage Practitioners.
Joining the Immortal Conve can be considered to be beneficial to any Fifth Stage Practitioner. Items that can only be used by Fifth Stage Practitioners will be traded in the Immortal Conve. The Immortal Conve can also request its members some tasks that will be rewarded heavily.
It depends on these practitioners if they want to aplish the said tasks. But the rewards were usually tempting that they do it anyway.
One more important activity in the Immortal Conve was about the welfare of the Immortal Continent.
Once a danger appears that can impact the whole Immortal Continent, the Immortal Conve can send out some practitioners to deal with it. This problem must be of course, something that not anyone below the Fifth Stage can deal with. If it can be dealt easily though, the Immortal Conve will not make its move.
The Immortal Conve was obviously behind the sealing of the Solstice Kingdom. No sect, family or empire will be that fast enough to disseminate five Fifth Stage Practitioners to seal the Solstice Kingdom.
Now, Fang Jia had no other choice but to wait. From what she remembered, the Fang n patriarch was busy stopping Xiao Ya.
But with the attack of the Underworld Soldiers, Xiao Ya had no way to approach the Solstice Kingdom since she was at the Sixth Stage already. This means that the Fang n Patriarch was free to talk to the higher-ups of the Immortal Conve.
As for the higher-ups in the Immortal Conve, nobody knows who really they are. The only information that they know was each of them was at least half-step in the Sixth Stage!
What was more mysterious was that nobody knew when the Immortal Conve really started. Nobody even knew who created the Immortal Conve.
What everyone knew was that the Immortal Conve was the most powerful gathering of practitioners!
But its members were usually not thatmitted to the Immortal Conve. They have their own family, sect or empire that they belong to. The Immortal Conve was usually second in their hearts. As such, unity was not the strongest suit of the Immortal Conve.
There were some special rules in the Immortal Conve too.
If a lower stage practitioner was proven to have the ability to fight equally against a Fifth Stage Practitioner, they will be cordially invited by the Immortal Conve.
Most of them usuallyplies, but there were some who prefer to be alone.
For example, Ling Tian in his past life managed to get invited in the Immortal Conve while he was in the Fourth Stage. Because of his personality though, he rejected the invitation.
Xiao Ya and Tang Luo epted the said invitation though.
Another special rule of the Immortal Conve was that once one of its members manage to step in the Immortal Stage, they have to leave the Immortal Conve. This rule made Xiao Yan and Tang Luo leave the Immortal Conve when they reached the Immortal Stage.
This rule seemed to be counter-intuitive to many, but they just epted it.
As of today, most of the Dao Domain Stage and freakishly talented Dao Soul Stage Practitioners in the Immortal Continent was a member of the Immortal Conve except for some proud and obstinate practitioners.
They might not be that united but once the Immortal Conve was serious on something, everyone had to take them seriously.
The assault of the Underworld was obviously a grave matter that concerns the well-being of the whole. Everyone expects the Immortal Conve to lead the defense against the invaders.
They might even cooperate with the God Continent to contain the danger.
Fang Jia estimated that they may be only allowed to leave the formation by tomorrow. The Immortal Conve will obviously not let them leave until the first wave of the invaders have began attacking. Those who will survive that will surely be allowed to leave.
As of now, they had no choice but to survive the attackter.
Fang Jia’s eyes snapped wide open as she felt some presences approaching the spirit ship. With her cultivation base suppressed, Fang Jia could only look out of the window to see who wereing.
She saw 6 people running towards them, with their weapons drawn. From observing their faces, Fang Jia realized the identity of the three of them.
Ling Tian, Tang Ya and Wang Hao. As for the other three, even if Fang Jia could not recognize them, the robes they wear symbolizes that these three are some of the generals of the Raiders of the Night!
“Go on, shoo them away. And if you can... kill them!” Fang Jia said resolutely.
“Kill them? Why would you do that!” Fang Yu was surprised hearing such words from Fang Jia. “If you sessfully kill them, the Immortal God Sect will be quite pissed with you.”
“Will they know about it?” Fang Jia said calmly.
“.......”
“Exactly. With all of us trapped and isted here, as long as none of them survives, the Immortal God Sect will not know how they died.” Fang Jia said as she rocked her chair.
“But.....”
“Well, with the talent of your friends, they will surely not die. But they will be in a lot of pain.”
“.....”
.............................
Some minutes earlier.
While Fang Jia and Fang Yu were stupefied by the sealing of the Solstice Kingdom, Ling Tian seemed to be the most enraged of them.
“Those damned fogies!” Ling Tian shouted as he stomped on the ground. “They actually permitted such thing like this! Has the Immortal Conve has fallen this low?”
“Wait, THE Immortal Conve?” Wang Hao’s eyes narrowed as he looked suspiciously at Ling Tian. Wang Hao adopted a pondering tone as he asked Ling Tian, “How the hell did you associate them with this sealing? Do you know something that we don’t?”
Ling Tian cursed Wang Hao silently as he realized that Wang Hao was still suspicious of him. He realized that he had to stop slipping up, or Wang Hao with his intelligence, might discover that Ling Tian was a reincarnator.
With the rise of the Underworld as the primary ce after death, Ling Tian’s reincarnation was an anomaly. Not only that, but he also reincarnated with his memories! Even in the times before the Underworld was established, people like Ling Tian who reincarnated with their memories intact will be hunted down to be used by others.
They can be used in some soul rituals, or even as cultivation furnaces.
That’s how bad it was before the Underworld was created. But in the present times, as long as you reincarnated, with memories or not, the whole Underworld will be out for your blood.
For them, reincarnation is the greatest sin someone canmit against the Underworld. The Underworld abhors reincarnation, and any reincarnators caught by the residents of the Underworld will have their bodies devoured and their souls destroyed.
They will bepletely and permanently dead.
Ling Tian knew that with the arrival of the Underworld Soldiers, he had to keep his secret even more secret. He was sure that the Underworld Soldiers will ignore their mission to invade once they discover Ling Tian’s reincarnation.
Ling Tian was not willing to die just because he slipped up some words. He swore to himself that he can only die once he fulfills his revenge on the two bastards who betrayed him.
Right now, he will do everything he can to survive.
Even if it meant killing hisrades.
But before Ling Tian could even prepare himself to attack, Wang Hao snorted as he walked forward.
“Forget it, if you do not want to answer that, fine. But be sure you’re not plotting against us. If you do, remember that you will not seed.”
Ling Tian gave a silent sigh in relief as Wang Hao backed off from questioning him. He smiled as he followed his footsteps.
Ling Tian knew that as long as he does not tell anyone about his reincarnation, even if an Underworld Soldier was in front of him, they won’t know that Ling Tian was a reincarnator.
Oh how wrong he was.
...............
Underworld, beside the portal that leads to Solstice Kingdom.
The arrogant speaker from earlier paused as he seemed to detect something. He sniffed the air, as if he smelled something irresistible. He sniffed for a few more minutes and then he flopped on his chair.
Momentster and the arrogant speaker startedughing uproariously.
“Hahahaha! I did not expect to find a reincarnator in this Kingdom! This is great! If I catch him... I might even get promoted as a Marquis, or even a Duke!” The arrogant speaker stood up, and secondster, his whole body was covered with an armor made from bones.
The ghastly aura from his armor managed to even elicit some shivers from the person beside him.
“Tell the 13th Battalion to hasten their preparations. I will personally lead the First Wave!”
“But Young Master!”
“Do not worry about me. I have an opportunity dangling in front of me now! If I do not take it, how can I even be worthy of carrying the bloodline of the great Yama!”
“....... I shall go now Young Master.”
“Do it quick.”
......................
“Hahahahaha!”
Laughter suddenly echoed in the whole Solstice Kingdom as the arrogant speaker showed his glee to the residents of the ce that he will invade.
Ling Tian felt fear from hearing thisugh. It felt like he was now in a mortal danger, and that he had no escape. He shook his head, thinking that it must be because of the iing Underworld Soldiers.
“Whatever happens, I will leave this ce alive!”
“That’s the spirit!” Wang Hao cheered beside Ling Tian.
“.......”
