Chương 277: The Lord Wins

The affairs of the world, after a long period of unity, tend to divide; after a long period of division, tend to unite.

Wherever there is power, there will be struggle and conflict.

This unnamed planet has maintained a power structure of three sects, six mountains, and twelve caves since two thousand years ago.

A thousand years ago, a peerless genius emerged from Shuifu Cave, who dominated the world and whose martial arts skills reached the pinnacle, making him invincible.

However, what goes up must come down. The person's rise to power lasted not just a few years, but a century or so, and he disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a poignant and moving story of his triumphant rise.

People at the time all thought that he had transcended this world, left the planet, and traveled far away to seek a higher level of martial arts.

Now, with the appearance of the Fifth Immortal, people have realized that the peerless genius of yesteryear may have already perished.

Outside the Water Hidden Cave, a group of experts from other sects descended from the clouds and entered the Water Hidden Cave.

The cave master of Yunyao Cave frowned slightly, but still maintained proper etiquette and invited everyone into the main hall.

Seeing this, everyone felt a little relieved.

With the departure of the Fifth Immortal, everyone knows that from now on, the genius of Shuifu Cave will be the protagonist of the world.

The world has changed.

They had to come down from the clouds early to make their stance clear.

"Master, we have lived in peace for over a thousand years. Even when the secrets of heaven have been revealed throughout the ages, it has only resulted in fighting and killing among our disciples—" An elderly man with white hair and beard looked around and spoke first.

"Old Yue, there's no need to say more. I can't make the decision on this matter either. We'll have to wait for your return before we can discuss it further."

The Cave Master of Yunyao stopped him from speaking.

His complexion didn't look very good.

The gentleman is only staying here temporarily.

After the adults leave, how should this Water-Submerged Cave be dealt with?

If the fifth immortal is already so powerful, then how much stronger must the other four immortals be?

Do the adults have a chance of winning?

If the adult loses—

"Master, now that we have descended from the clouds, it is firstly because we have confidence in that person's strength, and secondly to show our attitude: this world belongs to all of us in the martial arts world, not to any particular power."

Another man with a hooked nose, indigo skin, and resembling a Smurf frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

What do you all think of my opinion?

"That's what we all think!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Everyone?"

Yun Yao Cave Master never expected that these people would be so courageous, far surpassing her sisters in ability.

They really have a clever plan.

If the adults return in triumph, then the Five Immortals who were pressing down on them will surely have been destroyed.

By expressing their stance in advance, they are essentially defecting at the last minute, willingly submitting to the enemy.

If the master has not returned, it at least means that the Five Immortals and the master had a life-or-death battle. Even if the Five Immortals win, it will surely be a Pyrrhic victory.

In this way, by combining the strength of everyone and taking extraordinary measures, it is not impossible to sweep away this behemoth that is pressing down on them in one fell swoop.

"Cave Master, whether this matter succeeds or fails depends on your word. You must have a general idea of what happened to your esteemed master by now."

The hook-nosed man continued.

"We'll discuss everything when the adults return."

Master Yunyao gave a noncommittal reply, then gestured for her subordinates to serve tea.

Seeing her like this, the others could only give up and casually drank their tea and chatted about whatever came to mind.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a languid voice echoed through the hall: "Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"

That sound?

The Cave Master of Yunyao Cave was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up, bowing and saying, "My lord, you're back? I'll prepare for you right away."

Following Yun Yao Cave Master's gesture, everyone else stood up respectfully.

"The master has won!"
