Chapter 739: Chapter 739

There are no walls in the Martial World that do not leak, especially when there are Players who can communicate anytime and anywhere on the Jianghu Forum.

Thus, the news that the Sea Shark Palace Master, along with the Divine Fire Sect Leader Bai Ting, had failed in their mission to visit Hero Island spread quickly throughout the Martial World.

The death of the Sea Shark Palace Master, Helian Ba, and the Divine Fire Sect Leader Bai Ting bowing to the might of the Black Wind Village Chief, becoming what Players humorously referred to as a fire-tending boy under the Black Wind Village Chief, caused a great uproar in the Martial World once the news spread.

On land, the astonishing feats of the Black Wind Village Chief had already left many people of the Martial World, who were still able to accept it despite being numb with shock, with a feeling of admiration for the Black Wind Village Chief’s consistently fierce and formidable demeanor.

At sea, many information-blocked Martial Arts powers were mostly skeptical, even scoffing at the news.

They simply could not believe that Helian Ba, who had already crossed the Earth Tribulation and dominated the Yuan Country’s maritime territory, would die at the hands of the Black Wind Village Chief, a recently risen figure.

Even worse, some didn’t even know who the Black Wind Village Chief specifically was, dismissing him as some bandit leader who had supposedly killed the renowned Sea Shark Palace Master—such talk was considered absurd.

Accordingly, this led many within the Thirty-Three Layered Palace of the Sea Shark Palace to not believe their master was dead, with the whole power structure still operating normally.

There was neither anyone rebelling to take over as the leader nor anyone panicking and fleeing.

A similar phenomenon was concurrently unfolding within the Divine Fire Sect.

Outside Yunhu City in Yuan Country.

On a vast plain, the renowned Supreme Alliance was situated here.

Under the twilight glow, a fast horse galloped across the plain, its hooves kicking up a cloud of dust.

The rider, with his body almost in line with the horse’s back, held a large flag embroidered with the characters "Supreme" and quickly entered through the checkpoint into the majestic buildings of the Supreme Alliance.

Before the dust from the horse’s hooves had settled, the rider had already exclaimed and leapt off the horse, quickly grabbing the intelligence and rushing forward.

A Supreme Alliance Person in standard attire darted forward to meet the rider. After whispering a few words, his expression turned serious; taking the intelligence, he turned around and swiftly rushed toward the largest building in the area.

The rider then took the opportunity to stride to a well nearby, draw a large bucket of water, and pour it over himself to relieve the heat from the journey.

Inside the largest magnificent building.

Rows of imposing figures stood at the front of the hall, but only one person sat there majestically, positioned in the highest seat, with a dragon and phoenix carved screen behind him, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.

This person was none other than the Supreme Alliance Hierarch—Guan Yutian!

His face was square, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, and every move he made carried an air of authority.

Yet his demeanor revealed a touch of vicissitude; sitting silently, his spine as straight as a javelin, he emanated an intimidating presence, seemingly uncrushable even under a heavy burden.

The messenger, carrying the intelligence, walked into the hall and instinctively slowed down, cautiously tiptoeing forward with the intelligence, handing it to one of Guan Yutian’s close aides.

The aide broke the fire-wax sealed intelligence, glanced at it with a slightly condensed expression, turned to Guan Yutian, nodded slightly, and said in a grave voice, "Confirmed, Helian Ba is dead."

Guan Yutian raised his brows and nodded, "What about the body?"

The aide replied, "The body was dumped in the sea, his head shattered, the fatal injury was on the skull, crushed by a foot from the Black Wind Village Chief. Bai Ting has also surrendered. All the sub-masters of the Thirty-Three Layered Palace in the Sea Shark Palace have surrendered."

As he spoke, the aide handed the envelope to Guan Yutian for review.

The people present exchanged glances, their hearts stirring and unanimously taking a sharp breath, fully sensing the fierce might emanating from Black Wind Village Chief of the Song Country, indeed a true dragon does not cross the river.

Just then, a handsome and valiant man stepped forward and said, "Hierarch, now that the Sea Shark Palace is headless, it’s an opportunity for our Supreme Alliance to completely absorb the Sea Shark Palace."

Once this was said, all eyes turned to Guan Yutian who was in contemplation.

Indeed, this was an opportunity.

While the Sea Shark Palace Master Helian Ba was alive, for the Supreme Alliance to completely take over the Sea Shark Palace would have cost them dearly.

After all, Helian Ba was cunning and tricky. If there was any movement from the Supreme Alliance, the opponent’s arranged spies would have already known the movements.

Hence, a balance had always been maintained between them.

But now, this balance had been disrupted.

Helian Ba, having left the Sea Shark Palace and forsaken his home advantage to seek out Hero Island, had kicked against the iron plate that was Black Wind Village Chief and been killed.

This moment, indeed, was a prime opportunity for the Supreme Alliance to swallow the Sea Shark Palace.

Once successful, apart from Sword Casting City, no other power in Yuan Country’s Martial Arts world would be able to contend with the Supreme Alliance, thus breaking the triangular balance completely.

However, this situation had both advantages and disadvantages; it was unclear whether the Black Wind Village Chief would bite into this piece of ready meat that was the Sea Shark Palace.

then the Supreme Alliance would have to consider even deeper issues.

Whether it was necessary to provoke the ferocious Black Wind Village Chief for the sake of absorbing the Sea Shark Palace.

And if they did not provoke him, once the Black Wind Village Chief ambitiously used the Sea Shark Palace as a base to slowly consume the Martial World forces of Yuan Country, it would pose a significant threat to the Supreme Alliance’s grand plan of unifying the Martial World of Yuan Country in the future.

All present were old foxes of the Martial World.

Seeing that Guan Yutian’s most trusted Ren Qian Xing had already asked, they all held their breath and focused on Guan Yutian, waiting for the decision.
