Chapter 2055 - 2054: Gathering of Forces, What Are We Fighting For

In the Death Ancient City, almost all the renowned strong individuals had gathered.

The Nine Heavens Alliance Leader led the way, and several other major superpowers had gathered here a few days early.

Among these major forces, the most notable were the Hidden Dragon Temple, Starry Sky Valley, Purple Sun Sect, and Blue Water Mansion.

There were many superpowers, but the strongest among them were these four forces.

In each faction, there were one or even several Three Flowers strong individuals.

Xu Zimei also spotted the War King Family among them.

Previously, the War King Family was responsible for defending against the Sea Beasts tribe, and now that the Sea Beasts tribe was willing to cooperate, the War King Family joined in immediately.

It must be said that the War King Family truly had the entire Immortal Island at heart.

Some major forces wanted to protect themselves at this moment.

But there were also those who fought valiantly.

Regardless, this is worthy of praise and affirmation.

The Hidden Dragon Temple was the only Monster Race force among them.

Firstly, all living beings on Immortal Island have the bloodline of the Old Tree.

Ninety percent were of the human race.

But there was also a portion of the Monster Race.

And the Hidden Dragon Temple was one of them, being the most powerful Monster Race force on Immortal Island, bar none.

The Hall Master of the Hidden Dragon Temple was a True Dragon.

A true Monster Race from the Cangxuan Realm.

Starry Sky Valley and Purple Sun Sect were also dominant forces on Immortal Island.

The two forces, one south and one north, were well-known on Immortal Island, with three or four Three Flowers strong individuals in each of their ranks.

The Blue Water Mansion was somewhat special.

They consisted of Water Tribe organisms.

A purely natural elf race that lived by the water.

It was said that these Water Tribe elves had resided on Immortal Island longer than other races, including the human race.

Unfortunately, the bloodline of the Old Tree had still tainted them.

Xu Zimei and others stepped through the air.

The Nine Heavens Alliance Leader first shouted, "Welcoming the arrival of the three esteemed individuals."

"Welcoming the arrival of the three esteemed individuals," at this moment, the entire Death Ancient City seemed to shout in unison.

The sound was deafening, reaching the heavens.

The entire Death Ancient City buzzed audibly.

"You may all rise," the Human Emperor raised a hand, powerful and intimidating.

He didn't shy away and looked directly at the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader, asking, "Mysterious Lady, how is the research on the Blood Sacrifice Curse Seal going?"

The Nine Heavens Alliance Leader was an external title, her real name was simply Mysterious Lady.

The Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens managed to become the leader of the alliance, naturally backed by the Human Emperor.

As the strongest in the alliance, if it weren't for his approval, who would be qualified to be the leader?

The Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens quickly replied, "The Blood Sacrifice Curse Seal has been successfully researched, and later I would like to ask the Human Emperor to observe."

The Human Emperor nodded with satisfaction.

He exchanged a glance with Xu Zimei and the Mountain-Controlling River Emperor and then looked over the entire Death Ancient City once again.

He loudly declared, "This battle against the Death Swamp, we shall fight to the death without return.

I won't say much else.

Each of us is fighting for ourselves, our family, and for this home of ours, Immortal Island."

"Beneath a toppled nest, there will be no whole eggs.

We all understand this truth. Of course, if someone is timid, wanting only to wait for death and lacks the courage to pick up a weapon and resist, I will not force you."

"A real man born into the world, if he cannot feast at five dings, then he should at least be cooked to death."

"Battle!"

The word dropped from the Human Emperor's lips, the word battle spread hundreds of miles.

Vigorous and resounding, the war intent was intense.

Many people were stirred, their blood boiling, each shouting loudly.

"Battle, battle, battle!"

Morale was important, and for the Human Emperor to stand out like this was fitting.

Xu Zimei saw familiar faces.

After the welcoming ceremony, Xu Zimei arranged to meet at a wine estate with the Old Ghost Sumeru of the Hidden God Sect and the Sea King of the Sea Beasts tribe.

The Old Ghost Sumeru also invited the War King of the War King Family to join.

These few were also old acquaintances.

Apart from the War King, the other two were well-acquainted with Xu Zimei.

"Taoist Friend Xu, we meet again," the Old Ghost Sumeru chuckled.

"When I arrived at Death Ancient City and heard of your deeds, I was shocked.

I didn't expect you to even kill the top expert of Death Ancient City, God Lui."

"Just a trifling matter," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

The shopkeeper of this wine estate was named Phoenix.

Before, Xu Zimei and God Lui had a fierce battle at the Star Picking Restaurant.

The hidden person behind that Star Picking Restaurant was Phoenix.

Speaking of Phoenix, she was indeed quite interesting.

She was the current Valley Master of Starry Sky Valley, but she did not like the elegant and tranquil life of Starry Sky Valley.

Instead, she preferred the lively atmosphere of bustling cities with splendid worldly beauty.

Just as Starry Sky Valley was a member of the Nine Heavens Alliance.

She came to Death Ancient City and opened the Star Picking Restaurant.

In contrast to Starry Sky Valley.

When the Star Picking Restaurant was destroyed in battle, Phoenix quickly established another Star Picking Wine Estate.

Unlike the restaurant, this estate served only wine, not food.

According to Phoenix, with war approaching, the estate brewed farewell wine for free, as a send-off for all heroes.

This Phoenix, though a woman, indeed possessed a heroic spirit.

A heroic figure among women.

"Lord Xu, what do you think of my wine estate?" Phoenix asked with implication.

Xu Zimei smiled, "Are you blaming me for destroying your restaurant?"

"How could that be, the restaurant is just an external thing to me," Phoenix shook her head.

She was dressed in a red robe, almost dragging on the ground, her long hair flowing down her back.

With a phoenix hairpin on her head and an austere face, she resembled an ancient majestic empress.

"In my life, I only love two things, liveliness and wine."

"How do you all find my wine?"

War King took a small sip, summarized concisely, "The best in the world."

The War King was a little old man, his face full of vitality, his gaze proper, speaking cautiously.

Xu Zimei took a sip.

He felt indescribably comfortable, the wine going down not only relaxed his body but also massaged his Divine Soul.

This was excellent wine.

An ultimate enjoyment from Divine Soul to body.

"Indeed, not bad."

"To receive praise from Lord Xu, it's worth bringing out this stock," Phoenix smiled.

"Being alive is really great," the Old Ghost Sumeru sighed.

"To taste such fine wine, alas, alas!"

"Old Ghost Sumeru, what do you mean?

Don't you have confidence in our battle this time?" War King frowned and said.

"Whether I'm confident or not is hard to say, the main battle power isn't us, but those Three Corpses strong individuals who haven't spoken, right?"

The Old Ghost Sumeru looked to Xu Zimei and laughed.

"I'm just saying, even if we win this battle, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

At that time, I wonder how many will come back alive.

I deeply love this land and have long been prepared for death."

Hearing these words, the others fell silent.

"Lord Xu, I'm very curious, what are you fighting for?" the Sea King asked.
