Chapter 6844
Leader
It broke the deathly silence, but also made the atmosphere more oppressive and heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing on everyone's hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.
"what do you mean?"
Xiao Chen's voice finally rang out, like a cold wind suddenly blowing in the cold night, instantly piercing through the air that was as solid as a tangible substance.
His brows furrowed even more, as if two small hills had risen on his forehead, and his eyes revealed obvious displeasure and a hint of disdain.
He looked down at Di Tianyan, who was kneeling before him, as if he were a towering mountain peak and Di Tianyan was nothing more than a speck of dust at its foot.
His gaze was cold and indifferent, without the slightest ripple, as if he were looking at an ignorant subordinate who had caused him a great deal of trouble. There was no respect for Di Tianyan's status in his eyes, only utter disgust.
Just like Di Tianyan's kneeling, it disrupted his originally peaceful life and brought him unnecessary trouble.
"I've said before that I don't like to show off."
Xiao Chen added coldly, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Di Tianyan, the king who held sway over the western region and even the entire Dragon Kingdom, was kneeling on the ground!
On ordinary days, a single glance from him can terrify countless people; a single word from him can determine the life, death, honor, and disgrace of countless individuals.
His name is renowned in the martial arts world and among the government in the western region, and it strikes fear into people's hearts.
Those so-called powerful families and top forces all had to be careful and bow and scrape in front of him, for fear of accidentally offending him.
But at this moment, he trembled almost imperceptibly because of Xiao Chen's cold question!
The tremor, though extremely subtle, seemed like the prelude to a powerful earthquake, foreshadowing the immense turmoil deep within his heart.
He quickly raised his head, his face twitching slightly with tension. The dignity and coldness he usually displayed when facing outsiders had vanished, replaced by a deep-seated awe and fear.
That look in his eyes was like that of a child who had made a mistake, waiting for punishment from an adult, filled with helplessness and pleading.
His voice was urgent yet respectful, as if a second's delay would provoke even greater anger: "Alliance Leader, please calm down!"
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate simply... couldn't control himself!"
"Leader?!"
The two words that Di Tianyan blurted out were like two even more powerful bolts of lightning from the heavens, striking the old snake and the two old men who had just regained some consciousness from the broken teacup!
The old snake's already wide eyes widened even more, almost bulging out of their sockets, as if it wanted to etch the scene before it onto its retina forever.
His mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a fist, and the muscles in his face were twisted and deformed from extreme shock, like an abstract painting that had been smeared with careless strokes.
His body was as stiff as a stone, motionless, as if he had been nailed to the spot by the sudden news.
The two elderly men also looked astonished and incredulous.
Their hands trembled involuntarily, and they almost dropped their canes. Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, sliding down their wrinkled cheeks and dampening their collars.
Their eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if they were in a completely unfamiliar world, unable to find any direction.
"Alliance Leader? What... what exactly is going on?"
The old snake screamed wildly in his heart, his mind in chaos, countless questions swirling in his head, yet he couldn't find a reasonable answer.
He couldn't understand how this seemingly ordinary, poorly dressed young man could be the "Alliance Leader" that Di Tianyan mentioned.
What exactly is the identity and background of this "Alliance Leader" that makes Di Tianyan so awe and fearful?
All of this was like a huge mystery, shrouding their minds and making it hard for them to breathe.
Alliance Leader!
Old Snake felt as if a heavy bomb had been thrown into his head. With a loud "buzz," the sound crashed through his mind, making his vision go black and his head feel like it was about to be blown to pieces by the enormous impact.
His body froze instantly, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, his nails almost digging into his palms, yet he felt no pain at all.
As Di Tianyan's trusted assistant in the martial arts exchange activities in the ancient city, Lao She was a well-known figure in this area with a strong martial arts atmosphere.
On ordinary days, he followed Di Tianyan to various martial arts venues, martial arts competitions, and gatherings of martial arts masters.
With his prestige in the martial arts world and his own smooth and clever ways, Di Tianyan was always able to get along well with martial arts practitioners from all sides, and he was able to win the respect and flattery of many people in the ancient city's martial arts circle.
The ordinary martial artists treated him with either great respect or deliberate flattery, which gradually gave him a sense of superiority.
However, at this moment, the words "Alliance Leader" were like a heavy hammer, shattering all his pride and confidence.
He knew all too well the terrifying meaning behind those two words!
This is by no means the kind of ordinary honorific used to flatter each other or be perfunctory in ordinary martial arts exchanges.
Behind Di Tianyan's unfathomable depths lies a mysterious martial arts organization, the War God Alliance, whose size is beyond imagination.
The War God Alliance is like a huge sacred mountain of martial arts hidden deep in the clouds. What people can see is only a small part of its peaks that are exposed in the clouds, but the huge mountain hidden under the clouds is enough to shock the entire martial arts world.
Its influence, like invisible yet resilient martial arts veins, has already quietly permeated every corner of martial arts in the Dragon Kingdom and even wider regions.
Whether it's a modern martial arts hall with advanced facilities in a bustling city or a simple traditional martial arts arena in a remote village; whether it's a youth martial arts competition where martial arts newcomers make their mark or a top-level martial arts event where martial arts masters discuss and exchange techniques, the shadow of the War God Alliance can be seen looming everywhere.
This organization is the true martial arts giant!
It controls vast martial arts resources that are unimaginable to most people, as if it were the controller of the fate of martial arts, able to change the destiny of countless martial artists with a mere wave of its hand.
In terms of martial arts cultivation resources, it can determine the distribution of certain rare martial arts herbs, giving some martial artists a precious opportunity to break through bottlenecks, while causing others to fall into cultivation difficulties due to a lack of resources.
